Hokage: The little fox picked up by the Hatake family

Naruto Office

Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth and looked at the documents on the table, his brows never relaxing, and finally he simply pushed the documents away and stood up by the window.

"Lord Hokage."

An ANBU suddenly appeared in the office.

"How's the investigation going?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was still looking out the window.

"...My subordinates have searched all over, but they have not found out how Kisaragi Saaki's identity was leaked. However, my subordinates and others found that recently...Danzo-sama has been in contact with the ninjas of the Rain Ninja Village..." The voice of ANBU It got smaller and smaller, until after he finished speaking, he no longer dared to look up.

After waiting for a long time and not hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice, ANBU was panicking inside. So, why is he so unlucky!The first one drew the stick to report! ?Reporting this kind of thing to Hokage-sama is a complete trap!

Just when the villain in ANBU began to write a suicide note, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice finally sounded: "I understand, go down."

"Yes!"

After receiving the response, the ANBU left quickly, using the teleportation technique.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyes and glanced at the ANBU who left in a hurry, took a deep breath with his pipe in his mouth, and then looked out the window again at the statues of previous Hokages.

"Teacher, what should I do..."

……

"Early Age."

"Huh?" Saaki stopped and turned his head when he heard the voice.

"Where are we... going?"

Xing, who is already 20 years old, has matured a lot. Compared with the childish height comparison with her twin brother in the barrier forest, now she is more focused on training and teaching Chen and Yu.

"The former site of the Kisaragi clan." Zaoji spoke softly.

"The old site of the Kisaragi clan?" Xing asked doubtfully. For her, this place was very strange. She had lived in the barrier forest since she could remember it, and her parents had never told them about such a place.

"Yes." Zaoji nodded and looked forward: "It's suitable for you to live there."

Xing was stunned and looked at the girl in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, Chen's voice sounded.

"Sister, Zaoji, we caught a rabbit, let's eat rabbit tonight." Chen emerged from the grass on the side, holding a fat rabbit in each hand.

The same goes for Yu who came out behind Chen.

Xing looked at the two and smiled: "I know, let's go and rest for a while."

After Xing and Chen finished chatting, they looked at Zaoji and found that she had found a clean place to sit down and began to close her eyes and meditate.

Xing was silent for a few seconds, and did not choose to disturb him again. Although these people were familiar with each other four years ago, since that night Zaoji's disguise was torn, Xing clearly understood that Zaoji was not what they saw. Well-behaved and cute.

Now they have not seen each other for four years. Although they know that the person who has provided them with a safe home in the past four years is because of Zaoji, although the three of them are grateful to Zaoji, they cannot be as close as before.

Xing put away the complicated thoughts in his heart and followed Chen to find water to kill the rabbit, while Yuu stayed here and watched the fire.

Over there, Zaoji closed his eyes and rested, listening to Yue Zeyi's chatter in his ears.

"That little girl has very complicated emotions towards you."

"Ah."

"Don't you wonder why?"

"I'm not curious." Zaoji opened his eyes and stared at Kisaragi Zeichi's blurry face and said, "I will no longer have contact with them after we arrive at the old site of Kisaragi clan. I have no idea what their attitude towards me is. Don’t care.”

Kisaragi Ze stared at Saki for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled: "Sometimes I think you are quite cold. Except for that boy from the Hatake family, you don't seem to care about anyone. Now that you have left Konoha, you are also hiding When you were looking at the boy from the Hatake family, I felt that you actually didn't care about him, but now it seems that you have your own plans, and you are letting those who care about you or care about you gradually fade out of your world."

"...You talk a lot." Zaoji closed his eyes again.

"What do you want to do?" Ruyue Zeyi asked.

"Nothing." Saaki still closed his eyes: "I just want to see the entire ninja world..."

Ruyue Zeyi floated in the air and looked at the girl who closed her eyes to rest, and sighed: "You are still feeling guilty that your birth caused the brothers and sisters who were born first to die because of you, right?"

"..."

"But you didn't cause that."

"But they died because I was born."

"Early Age."

"……Um."

"There is no need to feel too guilty. None of this is your fault. Your birth does not mean anything. The Ruyue clan has long since declined. It's just that your father cared too much about the original glory of the Ruyue clan."

Zaoji didn't speak, and still maintained his posture of closing his eyes and concentrating.

Ru Yueze sighed and did not continue to speak.

The quiet atmosphere of one person and one soul didn't last long before Yu's voice rang out.

"Zaoji...sister, it's time to eat."

Saaki opened his eyes and glanced at the two people who were almost roasting the rabbit not far away, and then his eyes fell on Yuu standing in front of him.

Four years are enough to change a lot. The boy is much taller than before, and his temperament is also much calmer. He no longer has the awkward temperament he used to have.

Maybe it was seeing his father's death with his own eyes.

Zaoji got up from the ground and nodded without saying anything else.

However, Yuu had a hesitant look on his face, and although Saaki noticed it, he had no intention of asking more questions.

Now, for her, after sending people to the old site of the Kisaragi clan and arranging their future lives, she will no longer have too much contact with them.

……

Konoha

There were no lights on in the dark room, and the windows were tightly covered with curtains.

And on the bed in the room, there was a silver-haired boy lying, seemingly asleep.

Suddenly, the young man sighed.

"Zaoji...how much have you hidden from me..."

In the dim room, the boy seemed to be holding something in his hand.

As the boy moved, he realized that it was a photo.
