I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

Uchiha Obito took her other hand and smiled at her, "Don't we still remember? You tell me when you remember, and I'll tell Asuma and the others, and Asuma and the others will tell more people, so it won't disappear!"

Haruko stared at him with eyes that gradually brightened, and she was comforted by his words, and finally she said "hmm" with eagerness.

Listening to the innocent conversation between the two children, Sarutobi Hiruzen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up and touched Haruko's soft hair. When she looked at him in confusion, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly and asked her for the answer.

"Do you remember her name?"

Haruko nodded affirmatively, "Her name is Morning Haruko, the same Haruko as Haruko!"

Morning, time, sunny, day...

It was as if a spell was broken. When she uttered this name that was both familiar and unfamiliar, all of Sarutobi Hiruzen's memories of Haruko in the morning reappeared in his mind, wiped away the dust, and came alive again.

The girl who called him "Hurizen", the girl who acted coquettishly towards him, the girl who held him and wanted him to stay...scenes of their intimate interactions quickly matched the originally missing memories.

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to hear again the girl who loved to laugh loudly while running towards him -

"I want to be a great ninja! And then make money to support Hiruzen in his old age!"

As illusion and reality overlapped, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly came to his senses, gasping for breath, and then choked with pain.

"Haruko... my Haruko..."

Being suddenly hugged, Haruko opened her eyes wide and looked at Uchiha Obito who was also dumbfounded beside her, a little at a loss.

Haruko sends an eye contact: What should I do with Obito? Save me!

Uchiha Obito: I don't know either! How about you let the Hokage hold you first?

Haruko: ...Obito is so useless.

Uchiha Obito: Don’t say bad things about me with your eyes!

After being glared at by Uchiha Obito, Haruko retracted her eyes that were about to complain about him, but because she was no longer distracted, she was more resonant with Sarutobi Hiruzen's trembling cry of extreme relief at having regained what he had lost.

Haruko's stiff hands felt the strange depression in her mood. She raised them slightly and tentatively hugged Sarutobi Hiruzen back. After being infected by the warm color of happiness on him, Haruko narrowed her eyes.

So warm... like family...

After venting his anger, Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed down and returned to his persuasive leader appearance in front of others, but his eyes were soft and he looked at his family in front of him as if they were treasures.

"Haruko, let's go home!" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and was about to pull her away.

How could Uchiha Obito watch him kidnap Haruko? He quickly stopped him, but facing such a leader, Uchiha Obito was still a little weak, "Um... Haruko wants to go home with me..."

"Going home with you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked him over with a scrutinizing gaze, and finally concluded: Who is this brat who wants to steal my cabbage? !

He had completely forgotten about the Uchiha genius boy.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were becoming more and more fierce, Uchiha Obito broke out in a cold sweat, and the filter he had for Hokage in his heart was quietly shattered.

Is this Hokage really the Hokage who is recognized and loved by everyone?

Uchiha Obito shook his head and put aside those distracting thoughts. The most important thing now was to bring Haruko home. If he didn't return home on time, Uncle Fugaku would definitely kill him!

"Haruko, let's go!"

Thinking of Uchiha Fugaku's usually ferocious expression, Uchiha Obito shuddered violently, no longer caring about Hokage, and stepped forward to hold Haruko's hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced and quickly slapped away the dirty hand that was about to touch his cabbage. When Uchiha Obito looked at him in disbelief, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted in the image of a Hokage without caring.

Uchiha Obito:? ? ?

After watching the childish drama of an old man and a child, Haruko raised her hands helplessly, "I want to go home with Obito! Hokage-sama, please don't hold me back!"

When she broke free from his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, and then glared at Uchiha Obito with a sense of oppression.

Uchiha Obito:......

Facing his own cabbage, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a friendly smile and patiently reasoned with her: "Haruko is my family, so you should come home with me."

"No." Haruko looked at him steadily, her innocent expression uttering cold words, "My family is not you."

Ignoring Sarutobi Hiruzen's stunned expression, Haruko continued to add: "My family is Fugaku, so I'm going home. Bye, Hokage!"

After saying that, Haruko was dragged away by Uchiha Obito like the wind, fearing that the Third Hokage would come and snatch her away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood there in silence, his eyes following their departing figures. After briefly regaining his family, he lost them again.

Is she now...Uchiha Haruko?

*

Haruko rubbed her eyes as she was walking in the corridor to find food, but she became a little more awake when she heard voices coming from the room in front of her.

Did someone come to your house early in the morning?

Fugaku really should listen to her advice and turn this place into a neighborhood committee.

Secretly complaining about Uchiha Fugaku's lack of taste, Haruko came to the door and opened it.

Neighborhood auntie Fugaku, um, and the one across from her is... the crybaby Hokage from yesterday? !

Haruko suddenly woke up completely from her sleepiness, and she seemed to have accidentally walked into the grand scene of the meeting between the Third Hokage and the Uchiha clan leader. Seeing that they were all looking at her, Haruko closed the door silently with stiff hands.

I got up and saw Fugaku doing his job...

The door in front of her was opened again. Haruko was stunned and looked up at Uchiha Fugaku who looked helpless.

"I've told you so many times, get up and wash your face and rinse your mouth before you can eat."

"But my stomach complained to me before my teeth did, so I decided to take care of my hunger first, adhering to the principle of first come first served!"

Seeing her resisting in the same tone he used when handling clan affairs, Uchiha Fugaku sighed with a headache, "The Third Hokage is here today, you better be serious."

"Will there be a reward if I work hard?" Haruko climbed up the pole, looking forward to his answer with a bright look in her eyes.

Unable to defeat her shamelessness, Uchiha Fugaku nodded calmly, and after sending her away, he regained his serious expression and returned to his seat.

"So, Hokage-sama, why are you here today..."

Uchiha Fugaku was not sure why the Sandaime suddenly came to him, but seeing that he still looked confident, he felt that he had bad intentions.

Due to the grudges and estrangements between the Uchiha and the Senju over the generations, as Konoha developed, almost all Uchiha were excluded from the center of power. Logically speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not come to the Uchiha territory in person even if he had something to do.

Despite having thought of countless possible guesses, Uchiha Fugaku still looked serious, awaiting his answer.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a sip of tea slowly and said slowly: "It seems that your sister is graduating from the Ninja Academy this time, right?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."
