Naruto and Shadow

Obito was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the bouquet of carnations placed on the window sill as usual.

Although the water in the vase is changed every day, all the carnation leaves have fallen off

“How long has it been? Is there a month?”

Obito suddenly asked angrily.

“how long……”

Uchiha Kanna didn’t know what Obito on the bed was asking.

But she didn’t dare to make random guesses, because last time she wanted to change a bouquet of fresh flowers, she was rejected quite angrily.

She was so scared that she didn’t dare to sleep that night

“How long have these flowers been sitting here? Even the leaves on the flower branches have fallen off. It must have been several months, right?”

Obito looked expectantly at his eldest sister standing by the bed.

“How many months? But Obito-sama, your friend just sent this bouquet of flowers last week.……”

Is she the little girl named Nohara Rin, the sweetheart of the hero Obito-sama?

That’s why I’m not allowed to change the flowers in the vase?

Uchiha Qina seems to have some understanding

“Last week? Has it only been a week?”

After hearing that the time had only passed a week, Obito lay down on the bed again with great disappointment.

The dust on the ceiling, including the floor, which was cleaned every day, made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Because he saw it every day Everything he saw was the same, which made him unable to feel the flow of time.

That’s why he watched the bunch of flowers wither every day, because it would make him clearly aware that time was passing by every day.

But… it still moved too slowly. Ah. If this continues, how long will he wait?

Ten years. When he first heard the news, he thought that ten years would arrive in a blink of an eye, and his heart could not help but be filled with hope and anticipation.

However, gradually, when he was lying alone, When he was in bed, with only the window and the bed for company, he found that not to mention a whole day, even every minute and every second was so difficult.

“Obito-sama, I have brought you the brace and crutches that the Hokage-sama personally sent to you. The weather is quite nice today. Do you want to try walking again? The nurse at the hospital said that breathing more outdoor air and basking in the sun will help the body recover.……”

“I’m busy!”

Obito suddenly yelled angrily, which made Uchiha Qinai, who was still trying to say something, jump with fright.

Then he knelt on the floor in a panic.

“Yes, I’m sorry, Obito-sama.”

Smooth long hair hangs down on the side of her face, and her graceful figure is lying close to the floor. From Obito’s current perspective, she can only see the slightly raised buttocks of this big sister.

There are also those exposed from the collar on the back of her neck. snow white skin……

“Sorry, it’s my fault. I’m not in a good mood today. You can go down first.”

After seeing this beautiful elder sister kneeling on the ground begging for mercy because of one or two unintentional words she said, Obito, who was not very angry at first, quickly lost his temper, and then tried to soothe the floor as gently as possible. big sister

“Yes, I’ll come back after dinner to help you wipe yourself.”

Kana Uchiha slowly stood up from the floor, but never dared to raise his head.

Ever since the little girl named Nohara Lin came, Obito-sama’s mood has been getting better and better day by day.

But recently, he has become moody again for some unknown reason. Get up

“Wait, take this crutch away too, I don’t need this!”

With this pair of crutches specially made for him, he can indeed get up from the bed and walk around.

But… after all, it is not a real limb. The crutches are quite inconvenient to use, and once they are used with the wrong force, they will be damaged. Those stitched wounds will hurt like hell.

But what makes Obito unable to accept this pair of crutches the most is the eyes he feels when he walks into the village with crutches.

The eyes of everyone looking at him tell him , he is a cripple.

He doesn’t like this kind of sight, because he knows that he will be able to get real treatment in ten years. By then, he will have brand new limbs, and his body will look brand new and will never be crippled again. When he thinks of this , he could no longer accept the gazes of those people.

Therefore, he would rather lie in bed every day and accept the service of others than go out on crutches.

He began to count the days and time every day, waiting for ten The arrival of the next year.

Unfortunately, the more we wait with hope, the longer it feels.……

——

“Jiraiya?”

After opening the door, Tsunade was somewhat surprised to find that besides the little blue-haired girl from Hidden Rain Village, there was also an acquaintance of hers outside the door.

“Yo, Tsunade! I haven’t seen you for many years, but you are still so beautiful……”

It even feels more beautiful than before.

Jiraiya touched his chin with his hand while looking up and down at the fierce kunoichi in front of him with a rosy complexion, increasingly shiny skin, and an increasingly charming temperament.

“Why did you return to the village?”

Tsunade didn’t pay much attention to Jiraiya’s sizing. She was already used to the other person’s compliments.

But after looking back at Hino Hikari standing behind her, she quickly interrupted Jiraiya in embarrassment. a slightly frivolous compliment to her

“What does it have to do with you whether I am beautiful or not? Stop talking nonsense, what are you doing here today? And who is this little girl?”

This little blue-haired girl is exactly what Shizune said. She is very beautiful.

And she has been staring at her”good brother” since they met.

After noticing this, Tsunade subconsciously removed Hino Hikaru from He pulled him to his side from behind, and then deliberately held Hino Hikari’s hand.

“Don’t be so heartless the moment you meet, Tsunade.……”

Jiraiya was also a little confused, why was there suddenly a pretty boy next to Tsunade?

And he seems to have a very good relationship with Tsunade?

Is it a member of the Senju clan, or is it a relative that Tsunade found from somewhere?

“Let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Xiaonan. Speaking of which, you should have met her once before.”

“Xiaonan?”

Tsunade felt that this little girl looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen her before.

“More than ten years ago, Tsunade-sama gave me delicious cookies.”

Konan took out a paper crane from her arms and handed it to Tsunade who was still looking at her.

“More than ten years ago… The Second Ninja War, Amegakure Village, oh, I remember, you were the little girl among the three war orphans we met at that time?”

Seeing this thousand paper cranes, Tsunade’s memories were finally opened.

“Well, I told you right then, this little girl will definitely become a beautiful woman in the future, but it’s a pity that I am the only one willing to accept them as my disciples, and none of you are willing.”

After knowing that Xiaonan did not die in the turmoil in Yuyin Village, Jiraiya was quite happy.

“Humph, Orochimaru and I are not like you, who spend our days recruiting others as disciples from all over the world.”

After hearing that this little blue-haired girl was Jiraiya’s disciple, the guard in Tsunade’s eyes relaxed a little, but she still looked at her with scrutiny.

“So, why did you come to see my brother?”

“It’s like this, I have something I need…your brother to help with.”

So he is Tsunade-sama’s younger brother?

No wonder he said before that he was not Tsunade’s disciple.

No wonder he knows so many things that neither she nor Yahiko Nagato knows.

Konan explained the purpose of his visit and made up his mind. Plenty of background information about the benefactor who saved her twice

“younger brother? Why didn’t I know, Tsunade, besides… uh, you have another one?……”

Jiraiya quickly stopped talking because he almost mentioned the name of the rope tree.

“Isn’t it okay for the brother I recognize?”

“Okay, okay, you can do anything. By the way, I finally asked Orochimaru to go out for a drink today. Do you want to come with me? The three of us haven’t gotten together for a long time.……”

It turns out that this pretty boy is Tsunade’s younger brother. What a lucky guy.

After knowing this, Jiraiya also dropped a lot of guard against this young man who was almost being hugged by Tsunade.

“That’s it……”

Tsunade was a little hesitant. She had not seen her classmates for many years, so it was time to get together, but… she was still a little uneasy about the little girl in front of her.

“Tsunade-nee can go if she wants to, as long as she doesn’t drink too much.”

Hino Hikaru squeezed Tsunade’s palm to reassure her.

“This Miss Konan came to me to consult on a matter related to seals. I will call Kushina-sensei to help with the matter later.”

“Okay, Shizune, you serve tea to entertain the guests from Yuyin Village, I’m going out.”

Tsunade first gave Hino Hikaru a warning look of”I’ll interrogate you properly when I come back at night”, and then urged Jiraiya to lead the way.

Fortunately, there were rumors in the village that she had killed Sansho Hanzo. It’s time to clarify.

Today is just the right time to clarify it in front of two classmates – this is not a rumor.

She also wants to see what kind of wonderful expression will appear on Orochimaru’s face after hearing this

——

“Why are you following me?”

After Tsunade left, Hino Hikaru planned to take Konan around Konoha, and asked Nagato whether he had developed the reincarnation after that.

But he never thought that Shizune, who was serving tea and water at home, asked I have to follow his request

“Sister Kushina said that you will probably become a scumbag in the future.”

Shizune looked at Konan, who was still visiting the yard, and then at Hino Hikari, who was standing beside her unconsciously. Her petite and pretty face was full of surveillance.

In order not to make Tsunade-sama sad, she must take good care of herself. Look at this handsome boy in front of you

“She is talking nonsense, how could I……”

Well, there is a slight possibility.

But that’s not the point. The point is – Kushina, this guy, actually instilled so many unfriendly thoughts into Shizune when he was not at home.

He doesn’t look like a teacher at all.

“In short, what you are worried about will not happen, and Tsunade needs you more than me now, so you should go to her side.”

Hino Hikaru touched Shizune’s head.

This child seems to be getting taller and taller… but he just doesn’t grow up very well.

“oh……”

Shizune blushed slightly as her head was touched and nodded.

Although she still wanted to continue to follow Hino Hikaru, after thinking about it, what Hino Hikaru said made sense. She should really follow Tsunade now.

“After that day, Tsunade probably never asked you to move out again, right?”

Such a big house would be too spacious if only he and Tsunade lived in it, and it would really need someone to take care of it when they were away.

So it was the best choice to keep Shizune, who knew everything about it.

Hikaru Hino also succeeded. Convinced Tsunade

“there is none left”

“Then do you believe what I say or what that woman Kushina says?”

“I believe you.”

Yes, even Sister Mikoto can lie to others. Sister Kushina, who doesn’t seem to be in tune at all, is probably lying to me and making me happy.

Shizune gradually understood.

“As long as you know, don’t have any contact with Kushina in the future. If you have any questions, tell me and your Tsunade-sama directly, do you understand?”

Finally, Hino Hikaru couldn’t help but feel a little relieved that Shizuo was brought back to her well-behaved appearance.

“yes”

“Anything else?”

“There is something strange, Sister Mikoto told me.”

Shizune pulled Hino Hikaru’s clothes, blushing and told Hino Hikaru what she had asked Uchiha Mikoto before.

“I don’t understand why sister Mikoto lied to me……”

——

“Is anything so funny?”

Xiao Nan didn’t quite understand why the young man in front of her laughed so loudly and kept laughing from the time she left home until now.

She didn’t understand

“I laughed…ahem, forget it, it’s not that important.”

After taking Konan to the street, Hino Hikaru reluctantly stopped the smile on his face.

He never thought that Shizune would suddenly say such a thing, and he could also learn about the Uchiha Clan Chiefs Meeting from her. There is this”unspeakable secret”.

He originally thought that all ninjas should be good, but he didn’t expect…

Well, maybe Uchiha Fugaku is just an exception.

“By the way, did you come to Konoha alone?”

“He’s not alone…but now Yahiko is a little reluctant to see Jiraiya-sensei, so he doesn’t act with me”

“Yahiko?”

“Well, Nagato used Reincarnation not long ago, and Yahiko has been resurrected.”

“That……”

Hino Hikaru was going to ask more questions, and then he happened to see someone standing in front of a small vendor on Konoha Street not far away. His cheeks and eyes were basically covered by hanging bangs. The overall look was quite good. Thin red-haired boy

“This is?”

“Nagato’s body, to be precise, is a humanoid puppet made from Nagato’s body. His name is Pain, and Yahiko is controlling it behind the scenes.”

Xiao Nan explained the situation at hand in a slightly heavy tone.

“Hello, Nagato and Konan told me a lot of things.”

Nagato… no, it should be Pain now, or should I say Yahiko? He took the initiative to reach out to Hino Hikari.

“Your Konoha is really prosperous, better than any village I have ever seen before.”

Although the reincarnation eye and the dead face do not show any emotional fluctuations at all, Hino Hikaru can indeed feel the other party’s envy of Konoha Village from the bottom of his heart.

“Prosperity is just an appearance, secretly it might be even worse than the current Yuyin Village.”

Hino Hikaru took Konan and Pain to the memorial monument in Konoha.

There are countless names engraved on it, and there are countless graves nearby. Most of them are burial mounds.

“Do you still want to change the world?”

Hino Hikaru looked at Payne.

He really never thought that one day Nagato would become Payne, and Yahiko would be hiding behind the scenes with the Rinnegan.

Compared with so many”useless efforts” done before, this time He seems to have really changed the development of some people and things.
