Heroes of Konoha

Soon, a person with a rather special status also came to see him.

"Lord Naruto"

"Sakugawa Shiraki, I'll just call you Shiraki. You won't mind me, an old man, calling you that."

"Hokage-sama, please do as you wish."

"Don't move, just sit against the wall like this. I'm just here to see how you feel."

In Konoha, I had heard many legends about Sarutobi, with titles such as Ninja Hero and Doctor of Ninjutsu, etc. Shiraki was inevitably excited to have such close contact with this legendary old man for the first time.

"Thank you Hokage-sama, I feel good."

Sarutobi was observing Shiraki carefully and felt the calmness that came from within. He couldn't help but appreciate it. Few people could maintain such a calm state of mind after suffering such a drastic change as blindness.

"Well, I'm relieved. Bai Mu, in addition to visiting you this time, I'm here to express my gratitude to you. If you hadn't defeated Mizuki and saved the Sealed Book, I'm afraid it would have had a huge impact on the village. serious"

The real key was the positive influence he had on Naruko, although Sarutobi couldn't say it so clearly.

"Hokage-sama, I have no merit."

He just tried his best to knock down Mizuki, but he was knocked unconscious in the end. The doctor said that he was sent to the hospital by a ninja team. They must have saved him, Naruko and Iruka, if not Everything they and he did was just a futile struggle before failure.

Whoever saved them needs to be thanked, and

"Hokage-sama, I was also wrong about stealing the Sealed Book. Please don't blame Naruko too much. I must also bear half of the responsibility."

"Haha, don't rush to take responsibility. Whoever is responsible is responsible. Naruko made a mistake, but she was instigated by Mizuki after all. She had no malicious intentions, so she just taught her a lesson. As for you, you are the only one who has the responsibility. Credit, is there any special reward you want, maybe I can satisfy you."

Sarutobi said with a kind face, Shiraki felt as if he was being treated as a child and shrugged helplessly.

By the way, he doesn't need rewards or anything like that, but maybe he can ask Sarutobi for a favor. As the Hokage, he can definitely help.

"Teacher Iruka said that I don't have to participate in the placement class this time, but I hope to participate in the placement class this time. I want to officially become a ninja and perform tasks. Hokage-sama, can you please come forward?"

Sarutobi's expression changed: "Why are you so impatient?"

"Uh, well, because Naruko said she wanted to stay and take care of me. Dark Matter is too scary. I don't want to drag Naruko down, so I want to start with everyone."

"Hehehe~" Sarutobi let out a hearty laugh, "You and Naruko have a very good relationship."

"Naruko is my friend."

"But" Sarutobi stopped laughing, and there was a hint of scrutiny deep in his eyes, "Fundamentally speaking, your eye problem can be said to be caused by Naruko, aren't you a little bit dissatisfied?"

Bai Mu's body trembled. How should I say this?

Does he, or should he, have any dissatisfaction with Naruko?

Naruko did cause all of this, and more importantly, Naruko's performance in this incident was indeed unsatisfactory.

However, in the face of the situation at that time, most of his actions in retrospect were just based on some kind of impulse that he couldn't stop. After all, his enlightenment was only a very small part. He was far from growing up. Because, the kind of man who can move forward simply by enlightenment is still far away.

This is true for him who has had two lives, let alone Naruko, who is only twelve years old this year. She is still a child, and she is still carrying the heavy shackles of a demon fox. No matter how she behaved at the time, there is nothing to criticize.

Shiraki is dissatisfied, but this dissatisfaction is not a blame for Naruko, but a desire for his friend to be better. Naruko should not be at that level.

That's all.

Shiraki calmed down and said: "Hokage-sama, you are wrong. Naruko does not need to bear responsibility for me. At that time, Teacher Iruka asked me to return to the village to ask for help, but I did not return to the village, but chose another way willfully. Road, this is what happened next. This was my own choice. And I feel very good now. If I had not gone there, I would have regretted it. Besides, although I am blind, it only lasts for a year or two. It doesn’t matter.”

This is not willfulness, but the will of fire.

Sarutobi thought silently, his eyes becoming more kind: "Don't worry, the village will go all out to treat your eyes."

Is it so serious? Bai Mu suddenly had a bad premonition.

What he didn't know was that because of this, his eyes recovered before the Chunin Exam.

Thanks to one person's help.

"About your desire to embark on the road of ninja in advance." Sarutobi pondered, "Shiroki, are you sure you are ready? The world of ninja has a very cruel side, and wishful thinking is not tolerated."

When ninjas compete, victory or defeat is decided by a hair's breadth, and blindness is a fatal flaw, which means death, and not only personal life and death, but teammates will also be affected by this.

Shiraki understands this very well: "Lord Hokage, if I can only hold you back, no matter how shameless I am, I will not make such a request to you."

"Can you say?" Sarutobi's expression changed.

"Yes, I can solve the problem of blindness."

"Oh, can you show it to me?"

"Excuse me for being rude." Bai Mu sat on the hospital bed, bowed, took a deep breath, and the sea of ​​​​qi began to surge.

From the sound Sarutobi made just now, we can tell that Sarutobi's location is right in front of his hospital bed on the left. The straight-line distance is about two meters, and there is no direct contact. Do you need to pass through two meters of air?

Although he hasn't had time to try air-pumping yet, he will definitely pass this test.

It's not just because of Naruko, it's because he himself wants this, to keep moving forward

No need for excuses, just try your best to keep moving forward. I have told Xiao Li and some friends, but it is not just a word. This is also his own promise to himself.

He sensed the sea of ​​​​qi, and the sea of ​​​​qi also responded to him, and the air currents gathered.

He punched Sarutobi.

Sarutobi looked at the fist that was still one meter away. The wind from the fist blew and the cloth cover on one side of the Hokage's hat was slightly deformed, but that was all.

Sarutobi looked confused.

"Hokage-sama, if you put your hands behind your back, your back will look even more hunched. Thank you for working so hard for the village and everyone."

Sarutobi's expression changed.

"Don't force yourself to straighten your back. If you do this, it will be a big sin on my part."

Oh, it’s interesting to know his movements.

Sarutobi moved, he took steps to the left, and Shiraki's head immediately turned around.

Chakra gathers in the soles of the feet.

Sarutobi became playful and walked faster and faster, while his footsteps became lighter and lighter, and finally the sound disappeared. With his control, he could ensure that he did not make the slightest sound, and his footsteps were walking back and forth irregularly.

But Bai Mu followed his footsteps and turned his head. No matter where he went, no matter how irregular his movements, there was no mistake at all, and everything was just right, aiming straight at him.

Not bad, good, more crunch.

Sarutobi's old waist was finally overwhelmed and escaped.

"I'm getting older. From now on, the world will be dominated by young people like you. Your perceptual abilities are very interesting."

"Hokage-sama, can I do that?"

"Of course. Shiraki, you will definitely become a very good ninja, and as Hokage, it is my obligation to help children like you grow up."

"Thank you. I will try my best to live up to your expectations."

"Oh hehe~"

Sarutobi let out a hearty laugh. The visit time was almost over, and he was so busy with work that it was time to go back and continue with his official duties.

"Wait a moment, Hokage-sama. Please tell me who is the person who saved us. I want to go and thank the seniors in person."

"It seems she hasn't told you yet."

"what"

Sarutobi recounted Naruko's brilliant performance after Shiraki fainted: "Naruko used the multiple shadow clone technique to hold off the enemy until reinforcements from the village arrived, so if you want to say thank you, say thank you to Naruko enough."

It's Naruko

Bai Mu was in a daze.

It's not that I don't believe it, it's just a bit unbelievable, but if I think about it deeply, when I put the Naruko in my mind and the Naruko that Sarutobi said together, it seems that they can overlap.

He believed that this possibility existed in Naruko.

The only trace of dissatisfaction disappeared, his friend was really great, beyond imagination, Naruko
