Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

"Brother Yanagishita, it's me, Kushina." My sister's voice came from outside the door, with a hint of expectation and caution.

Yanagishita, who had just finished a tryst with Zhou Gong's beautiful daughter, heard Kushina's knock on the door and opened it. Seeing Kushina standing there, her eyes were shining with anticipation: "Yanagishita, you are finally back. I heard that you have been very busy recently, preparing for the Chunin Exam. Yesterday I heard from the Third Generation Uncle that the next exam will be in a month. Can you take me around Konoha? I really want to go out with you."

Yanagishita looked at his sister's smiling face, and a trace of guilt welled up in his heart. He had indeed neglected Kushina because of the Chunin Exam, and Tsunade-san had been on frequent missions recently, leaving only Mito-san to accompany her at home. Yesterday, when he heard the Third Hokage say that he had time, Kushina waited until the morning to invite him. This understanding and thoughtfulness made Yanagishita feel distressed.

"Kushina, I'm sorry. I really have neglected you during this period." Yanagishita said gently, "Of course, I will take you around Konoha today. You can go anywhere you want."

When Kushina heard Yanagishita agree, the smile on her face became even brighter: "Really? That's great! I've long wanted to see the current commercial street of Konoha. I heard there are many more fun things there."

Liu Xia smiled and nodded: "Then let's go to the commercial street. There are many new stores opened recently. I will take you to eat delicious food and buy things you like."

So, on a sunny day, Yanagishita walked out of the house happily with Kushina, facing the morning sun, and strode towards the commercial street. Along the way, Kushina was like a chirping bird, talking excitedly about what she couldn't wait to do, while Yanagishita always had a smile on her face, listening to her sister's words patiently, and occasionally giving some constructive suggestions and warm responses at the right time.

Soon, they arrived at the first store. This store sells a wide variety of ninja equipment, and the dazzling array of goods is dazzling. Kushina stared at the neatly arranged scrolls and strangely shaped kunai with curiosity, her eyes flashing with eagerness. Yanagishita naturally understood his sister's thoughts, and he whispered to her in detail about the specific uses of these equipment and their importance in battle. After listening to her brother's explanation, Kushina suddenly realized and had a deeper understanding of these mysterious weapons.

Then, they came to a beautifully decorated dessert shop. Before entering the shop, Kushina's eyes were already attracted by the colorful, exquisite and tempting desserts in the window. Yanagishita knew that his sister had a special liking for sweets, so he bought some delicious desserts for her without saying a word. Kushina took the food with joy and ate it with satisfaction. "Brother, this meatball is so delicious!" While tasting the dessert, she did not forget to feed a few meatballs into Yanagishita's mouth.

Yanagishita and Kushina, who were eating meatballs, walked into a small and exquisite jewelry store. The dazzling array of jewelry in the store sparkled charmingly under the lights, but Kushina's eyes were quickly attracted by a special necklace.

The necklace was strung on a thin silver chain, with a small vortex-shaped pendant hanging below. The design was simple and elegant, as if it contained endless energy and vitality. Kushina's fingers gently touched the window, with an unconcealable fondness in her eyes.

Yanagishita noticed his sister's gaze, he quietly walked to Kushina and asked softly: "Do you like it? I'll buy it for you."

Kushina turned her head, her eyes sparkling with surprise, "Really, Yanagishita-nii? It's so beautiful."

Yanagishita smiled and nodded, he walked to the counter and quietly bought the necklace. When Kushina turned around to continue admiring other jewelry, Yanagishita walked gently behind her and gently put the necklace around her neck.

Kushina felt the coolness on her neck, she turned around in surprise, and stroked the necklace with her fingers: "Brother Yanagishita, how... Thank you, I really like it!"

Liu Xia looked at the joy on his sister's face, and a warm feeling surged in his heart: "As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied. This is what I want to see most today."

Kushina hugged Yanagishita tightly and said gratefully: "Brother Yanagishita, you are always the best to me."

After leaving the jewelry store, they came to a small performance area where a street performer in gorgeous costumes was performing magic. Kushina watched intently, and every time the artist completed a magic trick, she would applaud excitedly.

At this moment, Ye Cang and Jia Liu Luo appeared in their sight. Ye Cang was holding a string of candied haws in his hand, and he seemed to be uninterested in the excitement around him, while Jia Liu Luo was observing everything around him with a smile.

Yanagishita greeted them. Although Ye Cang seemed cold on the surface, he was actually not opposed to Yanagishita's friendliness. As an opponent, Yanagishita was undoubtedly powerful and worthy of respect. He did not embarrass them after defeating them. Moreover, Kushina's frankness and enthusiasm made Ye Cang couldn't help but smile, and her attitude began to soften.

Jialuo suggested: "Since we are all here, why don't we go try that new shaved ice shop together? I heard their shaved ice is delicious."

The four of them came to the shaved ice shop and ordered several different flavors of shaved ice. Kushina chose strawberry flavored shaved ice, and Ye Cang chose matcha flavored shaved ice. They sat around a small table, eating and chatting, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Kushina asked Yekura curiously: "Sister Yekura, what do you usually do in the village?"

Ye Cang was slightly stunned, then replied: "Well, of course I train and carry out missions. However, occasionally I will relax like today."

Garruo added: "There is a beautiful sandy area near our village. Sometimes I go there for a walk and enjoy the quietness."

As time went by, the relationship between the four people became more harmonious. They shared interesting stories about their respective villages and exchanged some ninja experiences.

Just when they were chatting happily, Yanagishita suggested: "Since everyone is here, why don't we have a dinner together tonight, invite Ai, Yagura, and Huang Tu, and it will also be a friendly exchange before the third game of our generation of ninjas."

Kushina clapped her hands excitedly, "What a great idea! We can go to that famous yakiniku restaurant."

Although Ye Cang still maintained her arrogant attitude, her eyes revealed her expectations: "Huh, since you all said so, I will participate reluctantly."

Garuru smiled and nodded, "That sounds great. I'm looking forward to it. I'll let Suna know."

In the afternoon, Liuxia personally invited Ai and others to attend the barbecue party tonight. Although everyone was surprised by this, they were all young people and did not have any deep hatred, so they agreed.

-

"Sarutobi, how could you allow that brat under the Willow Tree to do whatever he wants? Not only did he gather the enemies for a dinner, he even brought Kushina with him! Don't you know how important she is?" Danzo shouted excitedly.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath of the tobacco in his pipe, slowly exhaled the smoke, and calmly looked at his old friend in front of him. He understood Danzo's concerns, but he had his own considerations in his heart: "Danzo, you don't have to be so excited. After all, they are just a group of children. If it weren't for the constant disputes in the ninja world, why would they have to fight to the death in such a brutal battle? As for Kushina..."

Speaking of Kushina, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes softened a little, "You are aware of Lady Mito's physical condition. Not even the Yin Seal can stop her from aging. Let her go. This is all so that she can build a deeper bond with the village."

"You will regret this, Hiruzen!" Danzo widened his eyes and glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained unmoved, and responded firmly: "I am the Hokage of this village, Danzo."

That night, young people from various ninja villages gathered together to celebrate. This party became a precious fragment in their later memories. When the years passed and these young people entered their old age, they recalled the scene of those years and could not help but sigh that only those who had the bearing and mind to rule the entire ninja world could hold such a unique party at a time when the hostility between the ninja villages was tense.
