[Naruto] The little animals are also full of energy today.

21

When it started to snow in Konoha Village, it was the day when school ended and winter vacation began.

The carnival started as soon as the children stepped out of the classroom door.

Naruto yelled and plunged into the snow. Naruto stood under the tree at the school gate and tightened the orange scarf around his neck.

The white mist exhaled dissipated in the air, and the winter wind made the branches tremble.

She saw the person she was waiting for walking out and waved slightly.

Yuno walked up to her with her book bag on her back. He has grown a lot this year, but his hairstyle has become shorter and shorter, and he looks more fierce when he raises his eyebrows.

Since the school newspaper came out, the column on influential figures has been highly praised.

Students divide the campus pretty boy group into three factions: the tough guy faction, the handsome faction and the messy faction.

Yuno and Sasuke are representatives of the tough guy and cool guys respectively.

The Chaos... are naturally the weird and beautiful boys with unique aesthetics who fall in love with each other.

What a messy beautiful boy! Thinking of this, Naomi couldn't help laughing, but Yuno thought she was laughing at him, and there was an inexplicable blush on her dark face.

"Why are you calling me?" His tone was a bit harsh.

Mingshi handed over an invitation letter, "I invite you to come to our house for a barbecue on New Year's Day."

Yuno took the invitation and opened it. Mingmi's handwriting was on it. His name, time and place were written in beautiful handwriting.

The name of Narumi Juanxiu and Naruto's crooked name were signed below.

"And what's the invitation letter for?"

"It's my first time to invite someone home with Naruto on New Year's Day. It's more formal and ceremonial." Narumi explained, tilting her head and looking at Naruto in the distance, who was playing with Shikamaru. Well, it was Shikamaru's invitation. The letter is with him, he should look at it.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to return the favor to me..."

"Huh?" Narumi's eyes returned to the person in front of him, ah, from before, "What do you need me to do?"

"On New Year's Eve, can you..." Yuno looked at Narumi's face, her eyes a little evasive, and could only look at the top of her head, where a hexagonal snowflake fell on her red hair.

At this time, a Nana ran over, "I saw the invitation you put on my table!!! I will definitely go~~ Ah, Narumi, have you invited Sasuke? Come on, I want to take a vacation. I also met Sasuke.”

Narumi was hugged, "Sasuke asked Naruto to invite him, I'll ask him later."

Nana immediately pushed Narumi, "I'm asking now, go, go, go."

"Wait a minute, Yuno is still talking to me." Narumi looked at Yuno.

"It's okay, let's talk about it next time." Yuno waved his hand and ran away.

"Oh, he's not important. Sasuke is more important. You should quickly ask Naruto if he will come over for the New Year's Day barbecue."

At this time, Shikamaru passed by the two of them. He looked at them and nodded, "See you in the new semester."

Leave gracefully.

It looks like Shikamaru won't be coming, Narumi thought.

Shikamaru had noticed the people under the tree before, and also heard what Nana and Narumi said about the New Year's Day barbecue. Okay, luckily I wasn't invited, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble to refuse.

Naruto didn't invite Sasuke at all. As soon as he walked in front of him, the two started a routine verbal attack.

Nana grabbed Naruto's head, "You go now!"

"I'm not going, I'm going to go by myself."

Mingshi watched the two people twist together. Forget it, she'd better go by herself later.

He was too excited during the day, and Naruto and Nana fought hundreds of rounds at the school gate. He quickly became tired at night. Mingshi had the foresight to let him take a bath first, and he started to fall asleep halfway through the meal.

After getting into bed and lying down, Mingshi tucked him in.

"Sasuke, let's fight for another 100 rounds." He muttered in his sleep.

This is how much I like Sasuke. I fight with Nana during the day, but at night I only dream about Sasuke. Mingshi touched the broken bangs on his forehead.

When I was doing his laundry, I shook it a few times and an invitation fell out. When I opened it, Shikamaru's name was on it.

No wonder Shikamaru said he would see him again next semester today, but Naruto simply forgot to invite him.

Narumi looked at the time. It was still early today, so she would go to Shikamaru's house first, and then drop by the Uchiha side.

She put on her scarf, took her keys and went out.

As winter entered, there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the street. She looked up at the Hokage Rock in the distance, watching silently in the dark night.

After walking through Tea Street and passing Ino's house, she came to the door of Shikamaru's house.

When she approached, she saw a man opening the door. When the door was opened, a woman holding a spatula stood in the room. "How many times have I told you to tell me in advance if you come back late."

However, before the man could answer, he was pushed aside by the woman, whose eyes fell on Mingshi not far away.

Narumi came forward to say hello, "Hello, aunt, I am Uzumaki Narumi, who is in the same class as Shikamaru. Is Shikamaru at home?"

She looked at the man next to her. They had two wounds and were wearing the same braids as Shikamaru. She smiled slightly and nodded.

The disbelief on the woman's face was instantly replaced by joy, "Ah, it's a classmate. It's cold outside, so please come in quickly. Shikamaru is at home."

Unable to match Shikamaru's mother's enthusiasm, Narumi bowed and entered the room.

Nara Yoshino was very surprised. Except for Ino from the Yamanaka family, his son never interacted with other girls.

Why do girls come to the house to look for him?

A good friend?

Could it be that she is a girlfriend! ?

She covered her mouth with her hands to suppress the urge to scream.

When Nara Shikaku looked at his wife, he knew that she had imagined ten thousand words of love and hatred between his son and the little girl.

"What are you waiting for? Call Shikamaru out quickly." Yoshino glared at Shikaku, and Shikaku walked into the house resignedly.

Shikamaru was lying on the bed, wandering in his mind while singing Empty Castle Strategy in his stomach. The next second his father opened the door and said, "Come out quickly, your girlfriend is here to see you."

???

Shikamaru wondered, what the hell.

Then he saw his mother pulling Mingshi to sit down in the living room, "Will you stay and eat with us?"

"Thank you, Auntie, for your kindness. I've already eaten at home. I'm sorry for causing you any inconvenience at this point. I just wanted to send an invitation letter to Shikamaru."

Shikamaru looked at his mother's smiling face and probably wanted Narumi to call her mother in the next second.

Naomi looked over at him, "Naruto forgot to give it to you at school today. We want to invite you to a barbecue on New Year's Day. I wonder if you would like to come as a favor?"

"I…"

"He must go."

As soon as Shikamaru said the word "I", his mother eagerly helped him finish the sentence.

OK.

He didn't bother to argue.

Mingshi handed over the invitation letter and was about to leave, apologizing every time he said that he was not polite enough for a temporary visit.

Yoshino repeatedly asked Narumi to come to the house to play again next time.

Shikamaru looked at his mother as if he was afraid that she would detain Narumi at home.

"Shikamaru, go see someone off."

Narumi and Shikamaru stood at the door. Shikamaru sighed resignedly, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

"No, I have to go to Sasuke's house."

Shikamaru frowned, thinking of his empty stomach, and wanted to turn back, but his mother's voice came from his ears,

"Even if she wants to go to the West, you have to send it to her."

Mom's eyes are so scary.

The next second he looked at Mingshi with a motherly look on his face.

After the two left, Yoshino asked Shikaku coldly, "What do you think their child should be called?"

Shikaku was speechless.

Shikamaru was really miserable. Not only was he hungry, his stomach was growling all the time, and he was also cold.

When his mother pushed him out, she didn't even give him a coat.

"Why don't we run." Mingshi looked at him and added, "This way at least you won't be cold."

"That would make me hungrier."

He chose the former between "being hungry and cold under the moon but being able to walk gracefully with a girl" or "being hungry and running in embarrassment".

Mingshi rummaged through his pocket and found a candy.

Shikamaru didn't refuse, who could have trouble with food.

There was no romance or charm along the way, Shikamaru was hungry, and Narumi was thinking about other things.

The Uchiha clan lived far away from the village. Apart from Sasuke, the other Uchiha students in the class rarely interacted with other children in the village.

As he walked along, he gradually moved away from the lights in the center of the village and looked at the dark night in the distance. Mingshi always had a bad feeling in his heart.

The division of power is often a precursor to chaos. Obviously they are all from the Leaf Village, but Uchiha seems to be in a contradictory position.

Although he seems to be at the center of village management power, he is marginalized everywhere.

"What do you think of Uchiha?"

Shikamaru was enjoying the sweetness brought by sugar when he heard Narumi ask from next door.

"Sasuke?"

"No, it's the Uchiha clan."

"There is a clan with strong eye power." Shikamaru thought for a moment and said.

Mingshi didn't answer anymore and fell into deep thought.

Shikamaru was also a little confused. He thought she wanted to ask about Sasuke. After all, young girls like her these days, but Narumi's expression was not like that.

When we arrived at the Uchiha settlement, there was still a handle on the door.

When Mingshi visited the village before and came here, he never felt that the guards were so strict. Now that she saw this situation, her heart sank a little.

The ninja at the door saw them and asked loudly, "What are you doing? Non-Uchiha people are not allowed to enter."

Shikamaru also frowned. This was his first time coming to this area. The Uchiha clan was actually guarded by guards?

"I am Uchiha Sasuke's classmate, and I would like to invite him to our house during the holidays." Narumi tried to make her voice sound more harmonious, "Brothers, can we come in?"

Seeing that it was a young girl, the guard's attitude softened a bit, but his words were still straightforward, "No, outsiders are not allowed in."

"Then can I ask my eldest brother to deliver my invitation letter to me?" Naomi wanted to hand over the letter in her hand, but the guard who was answering her was about to raise his hand when another person beside him stopped him, "No. You can’t even send a letter.” After saying that, he seemed to feel that his tone was too strong, so he added, “We are on duty and no one can deliver the letter for you.”

Ming Shi had a pity expression on his face, but his heart was filled with thoughts.

He couldn't even hand in the note. Did something happen to Uchiha, or was he preparing for something to happen?

"Then...then forget it, don't bother the big brothers."

She took Shikamaru in hand and planned to leave.
