My Hokage Journey

Before they could get closer, a loud slogan sounded from behind.

The two turned around and saw not far behind them, a huge sedan carried by dozens of strong men with white ribbons on their heads and short shirts. The neat slogans immediately resounded on both sides of the street, with extraordinary momentum. .

Lu Ming looked up and saw a lifelike bright red carp jumping on the top of the wooden sedan chair. Surrounded by a lucky girl played by a Konoha geisha, wearing a plain white top and a pink filigree skirt, stood in a circle. With golden high hats on their heads, flowers adorning their ears, and various makeup looks under the dim street lights, they were solemn yet beautiful, and at the same time brought the New Year's atmosphere to its peak.

"Let's give in." Amid the hustle and bustle, Mikoto pulled his sleeve and whispered loudly in his ear.

"it is good."

Lively people and lively atmosphere. Lu Ming saw several naughty children around him chasing each other non-stop, getting in and out of the crowd. In the end, he was sweating profusely, but he was still smiling.

The adults ignored them and allowed them to play as much as they wanted, because no one would beat or scold their children on this day. It is said that this will have an impact on the fortune of the coming year.

The hilarious atmosphere spread in strings of laughter, filling the sky above the bustling streets.

"Come on, go in and have a look."

As the huge sedan was carried into the shrine, Lu Ming walked in front, holding Mikoto behind him as the crowd filed in.

Three rows of paper lanterns at the entrance of the shrine are red and yellow, illuminating the entire intersection area like daylight.

"You can pray over there." Meiqin turned around happily and smiled happily at Lu Ming.

"Others come here early in the morning to pray. It's so late, so the gods probably can't even see her." Looking at the innocent and romantic girl at this moment, Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"Not necessarily."

"Just go with you. Compared to the main hall, there are far fewer people there. It's not so crowded."

After queuing for not long, it was their turn.

Mikoto looked sincere, took out coins from her pocket and put them into the box, then shook the bell rope, clapped her hands together, and then closed her eyes.

"Did you make any wish?"

"This...can't be said, it won't work if you say it."

"Ok."

"Is that a wishing tree over there?"

"Do you still want to make a wish?"

"of course."

Seeing the weakness of the other party, Mikoto's laughter sounded like a silver bell again, clear and sweet, and then she directly picked up the boy and continued running towards the wishing tree...

Sitting on the stone bench next to him, Lu Ming watched the other party carefully fold the paper written with colored pencils, and then clumsily began to throw up the small note of wishes. This picture was really beautiful.

And there are several passers-by like her below who are also working tirelessly.

"What a coincidence, we can meet you here."

A familiar voice came from behind. He turned his head and a handsome face suddenly appeared in the boy's eyes. He smiled and said, "Lord White Fang, why are you here?"

But before he could answer, a gentle and beautiful woman walked slowly to his side, then looked at Lu Ming with a smile, "What's the matter, have you met someone you know?"

"Yes, since we meet by chance, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Tomoko Minokawa." Then he whispered to her, "This is Orochimaru's proud disciple, Tanaka Lu Ming."

Tomoko Mikawa was a little surprised. Although there was no important introduction, she could see the deep admiration in her husband's eyes. She had never seen him show such a look to any junior. This one was called Tanaka Lu Ming. The boy looks very special.

Tomoko Mikawa nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "Lu Mingjun, why are you sitting here alone?"

Lu Ming felt a little embarrassed and pointed at Miqin, who was still trying to make a wish not far away, "I'm not alone. I came with my friends. She's still across the way."

&n

bsp; Hatake Sakumo looked at Lu Ming's finger. He was slightly startled at first, and then smiled in relief, "I see, then I won't disturb you young people. Have fun, and we will go back first."

"Well, come to our house to play next time you have time."

"Ok"

Seeing the two of them leaving hand in hand, Lu Ming suddenly sighed softly, "Why do I feel like my neighbor's aunt caught on to my good deeds?"

"What are you talking about? It's so quiet."

When he came back to his senses, Mikoto's smiling face was already in front of his eyes, so he had to explain, "Nothing, I just met White Fang-senpai and his wife and said hello. By the way, have you hung up your paper? "

"Well, it's hung up."

"Then let's go and find something to eat. I happen to have something I want to tell you."

Seeing the smile on the young man's face, Mikoto was slightly startled and then smiled.

"Okay."

……

A street barbecue restaurant at night.

It's a little far from the center, so there aren't many people there. It's not like a crowded place where you have to shout in your ear to hear clearly.

“Your charcoal-grilled saury, and your taiyaki.”

"thank you boss."

"You're welcome, you two can use it with ease."

The middle-aged man responded with a smile, then returned to his seat and continued grilling the fish.

"This store actually sells both grilled fish and desserts. The boss is really awesome." Meiqin picked up a thick fish grill, cut it in two, and handed the tail half to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming looked at the red beans in the middle and thought, it must be very sweet!

I took a bite and it was indeed sweet, but also delicious.

"Don't you have something to say?"

"Well, I have something to tell you."

"I'm listening right now." Mikoto quietly pricked up her ears as she concentrated on biting the fragrant fish-yaki.

"I'm going out for a trip."

"Going out, where?" Lu Ming's sudden words made Meiqin's heart suddenly skip a beat, and she tried her best to hold up a smile and continued to ask.

"Go somewhere else for a walk."

"Are you leaving Konoha?"

"Yes." Lu Ming replied awkwardly, although the answer was a bit difficult to say.

"Silly girl, it's not like I won't come back." Looking at Miqin who was suddenly silent, Lu Ming tried to persuade her.

After listening to Lu Ming's words, Miqin didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered the dazzling white hair of the other party before. Was it because of that?

"When are you coming back?"

"About two or three years."

After being silent for a while, Mikoto finally said, "It's been a long time."

She likes sweets very much, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that the thick fish roast in her mouth was a bit sweet and cloying.

"I'll be back soon after I solve the trouble." Lu Ming took out a grilled fish and handed it over.

"Yeah, I understand." Mikoto took a bite. The grilled fish was just salty, taking away the greasy taste in her mouth, leaving a hint of fragrance and umami.

Mikoto felt that she had a lot of things to say to him at this moment, but when it came to her mouth, thousands of words only came together into one sentence, "Be careful."

Feeling the sudden coldness at their fingertips, Lu Ming and Miqin raised their heads in unison, and light snow began to fall in the deep sky, light and graceful.

Suddenly, several "bang, bang, bang" sounds came.

In the distance, fireworks shot up in the night sky, blooming into brilliant fireworks. Everyone looked in the direction of the fireworks, and at this moment, a small hand waved as if there was no one and gently held it. On the other little hand...
