The trajectory of rebirth

Restless paws, "Shouhe, just squeak when you wake up, don't steal it."

"..." Shouhe was annoyed, "Hmph~ cheapskate."

After finishing this meal that was not considered dinner, three people and one beast walked on the road, Shikamaru walked on the outermost side, Gaara walked on the inner side, and Airo walked in the middle holding Shukaku's paw.If Shikamaru wasn't a boy, it would be like a family of four.

"Naruto and Sasuke are together, really! Thinking about falling in love is so troublesome!"

"Naruto told me all the letters." Gaara was startled when he saw Airo stumble slightly, "Do you want Dad to hold you?"

"Well..." Arrow shook his head, "I can go by myself."

"It would be nice to hold hands!" Shikamaru looked at the father and son with a smile, "This way Airl can walk by himself without fear of falling."

Gaara was taken aback, looked at Shikamaru, smiled embarrassedly, and took Airo's little hand.

"arrive!"

Shikamaru sent people to the guest house where Konoha entertained Gokage.Because of Mizukage's late arrival, the Five Kage meeting was postponed until tomorrow.

He was going to help Kakashi formulate the meeting agenda, while Ino Choji was in charge of Raikage's reception, and Kaiban was in charge of Kazekage's reception.

"By the way! Isn't Li and the others entertaining you today? Why are you and Ai Luo the only ones left?"

"I wanted to take Airl around Konoha, so I didn't let them follow."

"Really?" Shikamaru scratched his head, "Then I'll go first!"

Gaara nodded, "See you tomorrow."

"Ai Luo," Shikamaru squatted down, and took out a lollipop from his jacket pocket, "This is for you, see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah." Airl took the lollipop with a smile, "Uncle Shikamaru, goodbye."

Back in the room, no one came back from the room next to Temari and Kankuro, so I guess I had fun with Li and the others!

Shouhe, one big and one small, sat on the sofa, and Shouhe yawned big, with tears in his little eyes.As if contagious, Airl yawned too, some tears came out of the corners of his eyes, and he rubbed his eyes to feel sleepy.

"Are you sleepy?" Gaara picked him up, "After brushing our teeth, let's go to bed, okay?"

Lying in Gaara's arms, he nodded sleepily with a soft hum at the end.

"Shouhe also comes over"

"Have you ever seen a beast brushing its teeth?" Shouhe gave him a contemptuous look, and lay down on the sofa, revealing his chubby belly.

At night, Gaara lay on his back on the bed and stared at the ceiling, while Airu fell asleep next to him hugging Shukaku.

"father!"

"Huh?" Gaara came back to his senses and turned sideways towards him, "Why didn't you sleep?"

"Uncle Shikamaru will see you tomorrow?"

Gaara was taken aback, "Do you like him very much?"

"Uncle Shikamaru smiles like Yashamaru..."

"Is that why you like Shikamaru?"

"Hmm...not..." Airo pondered for a while, "Uncle Shikamaru...the barbecued pork buns are delicious, and apple juice...lollipops..."

"Are you bought by these?" Gaara chuckled and nodded his nose, "Then do you like char siew buns or apple juice?"

"I like Uncle Shikamaru."

"Really..." Gaara's smile faded away, "Do you want Uncle Shikamaru to live with us?"

"is it okay?"

"It shouldn't be possible!" He regretted a little.

"why?"

"Uncle Shikamaru also has his own family, so he can't stay with us all the time."

On the other side of the leaves,

"Why are you sitting here, kid? And don't you turn on the lights?" Jinai got up to drink water in the middle of the night, and saw a figure sitting motionless on the sofa.

"It's just that I can't sleep." Shikamaru put down the family portrait in his hand, and threw himself on the sofa.

Jinai turned on the light, went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, and then sat on another single sofa, which seemed like a long conversation.

"Breakdown hasn't gone out yet?"

"It's not a broken love," Shikamaru lay on his stomach, his eyes glazed over, "It's a secret love without fruit. I saw him shopping with his child today."

"..." There was too much information, Jinai clutched her chest and felt that she needed to slow down.

Who does his son have a crush on?She also has a child?Does Konoha have any kids recently?

Wait, no way!It can't be red!

Yoshino clutched his chest and leaned back on the sofa. His son didn't care about girls since he was a child, and the one he had the most contact with was red. In the future, Shikamaru would accompany all the prenatal checkups, and Shikamaru would pick up the report. Teacher's wife is doing a bit too much now!She suddenly felt out of breath.

"Shikamaru, you won't like... red..."

? ! !Shikamaru was startled, then fell down on the sofa even more depressed, and laughed speechlessly, "Mom, what are you thinking? How could I like Teacher Hong."

"That's good!" Jinai heaved a sigh of relief, "Then who do you like?"

"Mom, I think it's better for you not to know! I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."

"As long as it's not red, other things are fine!"

"No, I'll stop talking! It will cause trouble for him!" Shikamaru climbed up from the sofa, "Mom, don't worry, I will take care of the emotional matters! Tomorrow I will help Sixth Hokage My lord welcomes the other four shadows, I'm going to bed, Mom, you should go to bed early too!"

"Really?" Yoshino looked at him worriedly, but stopped him, "Shikamaru must be tired!"

"..." Tears swirled in his eyes all of a sudden, and Shikamaru resisted letting them fall.

"What you mean is that she has a child, so is she married?" Jinai asked cautiously and tentatively.

Shikamaru suppressed the choking in his throat, and tried to use a calm tone, "Ah! Not yet."

"If you really can't let it go, go after it! Shikamaru... Mom and Dad... You have grown up too... You have a lot of things on your mind... Even if we know, we can't help you... But... as a parent "What I hope most is that the children will be happy."

"I'm sensible, mom, don't worry, I can handle it well, don't you still believe in your son's ability?" Shikamaru forced a smile.

"Feelings are not something you can break up at will! Shikamaru, mom has also experienced it."

"Mom, I'm going to rest!"

☆、Chapter 16

"Would you like to go to the amusement park?" Shikamaru walked slowly down the street, holding Airl by the hand.

It's new, but I heard it's pretty fun!In the future, if I go once, I will make a fuss every day to go again, which will cause Teacher Hong a headache.

It was inconvenient for the moviegoers to have a meeting with Ai Luo.Kankuro himself hasn't grown up yet, so it's unreliable for him to take care of him. Temari wants to accompany Gaara to a meeting, so Airo naturally asks him to do so.

"Um"

"Then go!" Shikamaru squatted down, "Do you want to raise it high?"

"Hold it high?" Arrow tilted his head in confusion.

"That's it!" Shikamaru said as he lifted him over his head and let him sit on his shoulders, "Does he look taller!"

"Hmm." Arrow imitated and put the guarding crane on top of his head.Fortunately, Shuzuru's chakra aggregates became smaller and didn't weigh much, otherwise Shikamaru would be exhausted.

"I want to eat, too!"

As soon as he got off the merry-go-round, Airl pointed to the ice cream shop surrounded by father and son, mother and son in the distance, with expectant and eager eyes.

Shikamaru hesitated and squatted down, "Will you cry if I say no?"

Arrow shook his head incomprehensibly!

"That's good!" Shikamaru shook his head seriously, "You can't eat it! It's too cold, children will have diarrhea!"

"But a lot of people are eating it!" Ai Luo hugged Shouhe and was about to cry with tears in his eyes.

"You just said not to cry! Airo" Shikamaru picked him up and pointed to the cake shop on the other side, "May I take you to eat cake? That looks better than ice cream!"

Ai Luo weighed it up and nodded, "There must be crane guards! Dad said that you can't eat alone, but you have to share."

"So you want two copies?" Shikamaru smiled, "You little ghost, let's go! Let's go eat cake."

"Can Uncle Shikamaru live with us?" Airo asked suddenly on the way back.

Shikamaru's heart skipped a beat, "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

"I like Uncle Shikamaru very much! Dad likes it too, and my aunt always says, 'It would be great if Shikamaru was here!' So can Uncle Shikamaru live with us?"

"Although I really want to, but I can't!" Shikamaru's pace was much slower, "Ai Luo, you can say that Uncle Shikamaru is very happy, but I'm sorry."

…………

"sorry to bother you!"

Gaara stood at the intersection to meet them.

"It's not troublesome at all, Airol is very obedient." Shikamaru handed the child to him, "I took him to eat some cake today, shouldn't it be a problem?"

Gaara was taken aback, and said, "No problem."

"He wanted ice cream but I didn't let him."

"Well. Did he mention it to you?" He was a little surprised.

"Any questions?"

"He seldom makes demands on me, it seems Arrow likes you very much."

Shikamaru scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, "Then I'll go back! Goodbye."

"Ah."

Early the next morning, the meeting was over, and they had no reason to stay here.Shikamaru came to see him off with a beautiful framed photo of him and Airl in the amusement park!

"We should go!"

"Yeah." Shikamaru smiled, "Be careful on the road."

"Goodbye, Uncle Shikamaru!"

Shikamaru bent down, "Goodbye! Eat well and grow taller!"

This farewell lasted for half a year, and Shikamaru saw Gaara again at the venue of the Chunin exam in Wuyin Village.

Gaara stood among the Five Kages, wearing a Kazekage robe and a bamboo hat.The wind blew the corners of his clothes, and the red hair exposed from the edge of the bamboo hat was flying and unassuming. He has become more and more restrained these days.

Shikamaru stood in the middle of the arena as the invigilator, looking up at the man who forgot to call the start for a moment, and he woke up suddenly when the whistle blew in the stands.

Gaara once quarreled with Kakashi because of him, and almost got into a fight in Hokage's office.The fire country daimyo also sent someone to talk to Hokage because he wanted to poach him. Shikamaru didn't know if Gaara had the same purpose.

He knew about it because he eavesdropped on the conversation between his father and mother. They thought it was a good thing to hide it from him, but in fact he knew it a long time ago.

"Didn't Arrow come with you?"

"Yeah. The journey is a bit far, so Temari stays in Sand Yin to take care of him."

"I wonder why you only follow Kankuro!"

"time to go!"

"Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

This was the only conversation they had this time, a few words, dry and full of unspeakable embarrassment.

"Hurry up and find someone!"

When Ino and Sai announced their relationship, Yoshino urged him and never mentioned it again.

Time to find someone too!Shikamaru snuck on the railing of Hokage and smoked a cigarette, and suddenly remembered Yoshino's words.But, who to look for?There is a person hidden in your heart, even if you pretend to be perfect, you are still deceiving and delaying other girls!

Shikamaru eliminated the list in his heart one by one, it was not appropriate after deliberation.

forget it!He stubbed out his cigarette and thought again.After flicking the soot on his clothes, he walked into the office.At this time, there was no one in the office, and the group of juniors were still at a noisy age, and none of them wanted to stay here after get off work.

Before they knew it, their contemporaries had become adults!Each of them replaced their parents and became the backbone of Konoha.So don't be willful!It has been a long time since he has had the time to look up at the clouds in the sky!

"Boss, can you give me that civet cat?"

"This?" The boss pointed uncertainly at the puppet on the shelf.

Shikamaru nodded affirmatively, took out his wallet, "Can you pack it for me? I want to give it away."

"Ok!"

After posting the package, Shikamaru returned home slowly, "Mom, I'm back!"

Wedding invitation?Shikamaru grabbed the conspicuous red invitation letter on the table and asked, "Who sent the wedding invitation?"

"It's from Naruto!" Yoshino wiped his hands and came out of the kitchen, "He and Sasuke decided to get married!"

"Are they joking?" Shikamaru grabbed the coat he had just taken off and was about to walk out the door.

"Shikamaru!" Yoshino shouted to stop him, "Come back."

"Mom, this is not a joke! Naruto still wants to be Hokage, and he married Sasuke? No matter how you look at it, it will cause dissatisfaction!"

"Why can't you get married in love? When did my son become such a pedantic person?"

"It's not that I'm pedantic. I don't object to their falling in love, but it's not okay to make this matter public. Those consultants will not allow Hokage to have a male lover."

"Why not allow it?" Yoshino sighed, and sat down on the sofa, "Shikamaru, Sasuke and Naruto's wedding was held with their consent."

Shikamaru slowly opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Then why didn't I know?"

"Have you ever cared about it? Two years ago, you said you would take care of your emotional affairs, but you haven't come out until now, and you live like a machine all day long."

"..." Shikamaru sat down on the sofa decadently, "Mom, you don't know. It's hard! I want to never forget it, let alone pick it up and put it down."

"Shikamaru..." Yoshino called him, wanted to say something but still didn't say anything, she couldn't say something like encouraging her son to pursue Kazekage.

"Mom, I still need to talk to Sasuke, I won't go home for dinner tonight!"

Inside the izakaya,

"congratulation!"

Shikamaru said as he poured himself another glass of wine.

"You don't look like congratulations." Sasuke drank the wine in his glass, "You are jealous of me and Naruto."

"Yeah! How could it be possible not to be jealous! You both like it, and you can marry openly, but I'm hiding in a dark corner to hide my face."

"Since I like to confess so much, it's fine!"

"It's not that simple!" Shikamaru smiled wryly and raised his hand, "Boss, bring another bottle of wine."

"Gara is Kazekage!"

"Naruto will also become Hokage."

"It's just different. Naruto has you, Sakura, and Neji... a lot of people support him. How much did Gaara pay to become Kazekage? You don't know, as a person who has been in contact with Sand Yin since the Chunin exam I know the person in charge very well.”

"..."

"He bought it with his life! I can't let him be questioned because of me. He is the greatest Kazekage-sama in Sand Hidden. I just need to watch from afar!"

"In that case, what are you doing like this?"

"I'm jealous! Why can you be together?" The topic went back to the beginning.

☆、Chapter 17

Carnival party at night to celebrate the wedding of Sasuke and Naruto tomorrow.Shikamaru is absent!

This disappointed a group of people who were originally enthusiastic.As one of Naruto's few playmates, Shikamaru has been by Naruto's side since he was five or six years old. Although his sense of presence is a little lower, his feelings are definitely deeper than others.

The party has not yet started, and the two protagonists, Naruto and Sasuke, have not yet arrived, and the others have already taken their seats one after another.

"Really! That guy Shikamaru is so crazy!" Ino complained dissatisfiedly, she was still brooding about the previous incident, "That guy doesn't really like Sasuke, does he?"

"Ino, don't talk nonsense about these things, be careful that the walls have ears." Xiao Ying hugged the teacup, and she had completely let go of it in the past two years.She had already guessed that Sasuke and Naruto were together!As a teammate, she knows everything about the two of them best, but she has always been unwilling.

"Sasuke and Naruto should be here soon. Let's not mention this matter. We finally got together. Shikamaru must have his reasons for not coming. Maybe he is really busy."

Regarding the relationship between Sasuke and Naruto, there is already a lot of quarrels, and even a little trouble makes people talk about it.People who have been a little closer to Naruto have been involved, and various speculations and rumors continue.Gaara, who is far away in the hidden sand, is also involved, because he once preached to protect Naruto before the Ninja Allied Forces, which is not a good thing for Naruto or Gaara.

Fortunately, Gaara already has a child, only a small number of people talked about it, and there was no big disturbance.

As for Shikamaru's strange attitude these days, many people are already talking about it!In particular, he was still drunk with Sasuke, which made this matter even more fermented.These close friends like them can't talk nonsense, and they will cause trouble if they are heard.

While talking, Sha Yin's three siblings also arrived.They came to Konoha one day in advance to attend their wedding. As companions who took the Chunin Exam at the same time, they naturally received the invitation.

As for Airl and Shukaku, they were left in the reception room.It is not suitable for adults to bring children to the party. Ai Luo is five years old and can take care of himself. Shuhe is also there, so there will be no problems.

Then there are the two protagonists who are long overdue.

"Congratulations, Naruto."

This is Gaara's first time meeting Naruto today, newcomer, naturally busy these days.He said his blessings in a serious manner, which was quite eye-catching among a group of people.

"This..." Naruto blushed and scratched his head with a smirk, "It's really embarrassing for you to congratulate me so formally!"

"Let's wait until tomorrow's wedding to talk about blessings and so on! Today is mainly a party!" Ya stood up beaming, as if the protagonist was him.Talk about the usual scenes!Shikamaru was talking about the opening remarks, but today he is absent, so I can only leave it to the cheerful character.

"Yes! Boss, hurry up and serve the food!" Ding Ci agreed.

After drinking for three rounds, even the girls who don't drink much are slightly drunk, let alone those big men.Sasuke, Gaara, and Li, who can't drink, are the few sober people on the field!

A group of people walked out of the shop noisily.

Dingci ate far more than he drank, supported Ya and Shino, who could barely walk, and took charge of sending them back.Ning Ci was knocked unconscious by Li Fu after drinking three cups, and went back to the Hyuga Clan with Hinata.

Tiantian was mingling with Temari while shouting, Kankuro pulled his sister and pushed Tiantian as he wobbled.Ino embraced Sakura with one hand and Sai with the other, striding boldly forward on the road.

For a while, Sasuke and Gaara, who were carrying Naruto on their backs, were left at the door.

"What do you want to tell me?" Gaara asked.

"Do you have someone you like?" It didn't look like Sasuke asked this sentence, but it was indeed him.

"Why are you asking this?" Gaara was surprised.

"Because there is a fool who has been secretly in love with you. Although I don't want to care about him, I owe him a favor."

"I see!" Gaara was very calm.

"Is that the only sentence?" Sasuke frowned, "Aren't you wondering who this fool is?"

"I said I knew."

"you know?"

"Ok, I know."

"why?"

"He has his responsibilities and his family. I think it's better not to disturb him."

"Then what if he's not happy?"

"..." Gaara didn't answer, but looked at the drunken man who was stumbling this way, "I respect his choice."

He once had a dispute with Kakashi, he wanted Shikamaru to go to sand hidden.He thought he had made it very clear, if Shikamaru knew, he should understand what he meant, but Shikamaru didn't come, did he?

He has never looked for an assistant, and the seat next to him has always been vacant.

"I'll take Naruto back first!" Sasuke said lightly, and walked away with Naruto on his back.

After Sasuke left, Shikamaru hugged Gaara even though he stumbled.Even though he was so drunk that his vision was blurred, he still recognized the people in the crowd. The red dress was so conspicuous that he saw it at a glance.

"Gara, what should I do with you?" Shikamaru leaned on his shoulder and whispered, his hands tightened around Gaara's waist even more, he didn't want to let go no matter what.

"Shikamaru, you're drunk, I'll take you home first."

"I don't want to wake up, I wish I could stay drunk!" He leaned on Gaara's arms, unwilling to let go willfully.

But Gaara broke off his fingers one by one and pushed him away, "You're drunk, I'll take you home."

Shikamaru looked at him, looked at him with confusion, chuckled, pushed him aside, then walked forward unsteadily, "I can walk by myself."

Gaara didn't help him either, but just followed behind, keeping a step away and slowly following, away from the crowd.Without street lights, the surroundings gradually darkened.

"Ugh..."

Shikamaru suddenly turned around and grabbed Gaara's collar, and kissed it regardless, he didn't care if his teeth hit his lips and bleeding, he kissed passionately.Tongue stuck into Gaara's mouth, coiling his tongue passionately.

Gaara's eyes widened, he stood there blankly without any reaction, he couldn't realize what Shikamaru was doing now, his mind was just blank.

After the kiss was over, Shikamaru wiped the corners of his mouth that was smeared with saliva, and stared at him with unresolved sadness in his eyes, "You don't understand! You don't understand my feelings at all."

"..."

"Obviously Naruto and I know about your pain, but why is he the only one in your eyes? I always think about it. I also understand your past, but why can't I always integrate into your life?" ?Obviously I have been watching, you become Kazekage, you are gradually accepted by people, you become the captain of the Ninja Alliance, you become an existence that everyone admires, obviously I have been watching? I am sorry all the time You were taken away by Akatsuki and I didn't arrive, but I..."

"Why do you keep looking at Naruto?" Shikamaru looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Obviously I've always been the one who likes you!"

"Sorry, I never knew about this." Gaara closed her eyes.

"I made up my mind to stay away from you a long time ago, but why, why did you pull me into your life, you don't have to worry about me, just send someone to take me to the hotel! Why did you bring me into your life Home? Why did you pretend that you didn’t know anything when I kissed you, and said that you would try to like me?” Shikamaru questioned, “Why did you drive me away from Sand Hidden again? You clearly know that, as long as you say something If I do, I won't go."

"You said it!" Gaara's emerald green eyes were filled with sadness, "You said that you wanted to help Naruto become Hokage, and Kakusami also wrote a letter urging you to go back. You were sent by Tsunade Messenger Konoha, I am Kazekage, your mission has been completed, Tsunade came to ask for someone, so I have no reason not to let you go..."

The author has something to say: There are still one or two chapters to finish, so make preparations first.

☆、Chapter 18

A week after Zuo Naru's wedding,

"Shikamaru, I'm very sorry" Kakashi sat behind Hokage's desk, with his hands clasped on his chin, "Your behavior has seriously damaged Konoha's reputation, you have been fired! And from the list of Konoha ninjas delisted."

"I understand!"

Shikamaru's haggard whole body has lost a lot of weight, and the dark circles under his eyes are as heavy as Gaara's, but Gaara's is more cute, and his is just to scare people!

He's been suspended for a week since the picture of him kissing Gaara came out!He had expected this result a long time ago.

It's miserable!It really deserves it!He spurned himself, received the letter of dismissal, and bowed respectfully to Kakashi, "I'm causing you trouble!"

"Hey, it has caused me a lot of trouble!" Kakashi leaned on the seat and sighed, "To be honest, I really don't want to let you go. Once you leave and your father abdicates, my workload will be overwhelming. Double up." Then, he threw out a piece of paper, "Your Shayin appointment letter, pack it up and report to Shayin!"

"My... Sand hidden... Appointment letter?" Shikamaru was on the spot dumbfounded.

"Yeah! Gaara has been trying to poach my corner for a long time! Finally pry it away! But I can't be an evil boss who destroys people's fate, so I have to let it go. Go to Sand Hidden and work hard!"

Shikamaru accepted the letter of appointment in a dazed state, everything was like a dream, he pinched his arm, but the dream did not wake up!

"Hokage-sama, thank you for your care all the time!" He woke up and bowed respectfully to Mr. Kakashi again.

When he got home, Lu Jiu and Jinai were already waiting for him in the living room!They already knew the news from Kakashi.

"Dad, Mom, you all know!" Shikamaru opened the door and saw the serious faces of his parents in the living room, scratching his head, not knowing what to do.

"Really, it took such a long time. I packed everything for you! You go and check to see if there is anything missing, and add it." Jinai said, "I told you a long time ago that you like it and go after it. If you insist on worrying about this and that, in the end you still have to leave, and it made me worry about it for so long."

"mom……"

"Okay, you are old enough, don't cry there. Clean yourself up, go and shave your beard, take a bath, this ghostly appearance is not worthy of Fengying."

"I know, mom, you and dad..."

"Your mother and I already knew this would be the result, so don't worry about us. Your mother and I are not old enough to be guarded by you. Hurry up and let your mother and I go on vacation. It was settled two years ago!"

"..." Can you be a little sad?Is it your own?

After everything was tidied up, Shikamaru took off the Konoha ninja uniform he was wearing for thousands of years, shaved off his beard, and walked out of the bedroom with a salute.

"Come here!" Yoshino said to Shikamaru holding her eye cream.

"Mom, what are you holding? Touch my eyes?"

"Eye cream, cover your dark circles for you. When you go there, remember to have a good rest and eat on time. There is no better than Konoha, and the environment is not good. Remember to drink plenty of water. And don't cause trouble, get along well with Kazekage, don't make mistakes Tian Xian is troublesome, talk about trouble. I still have time to come back with Kazekage. Sasuke and Naruto have their weddings, and you have to set a time for your wedding. Even if you don’t do it, you still have to come back for dinner meal."

"Mom, aren't you and Dad going on a trip? I see that your suitcases are all ready!"

"..." Jinai held back, "We can't just hang around outside all the time!"

"Mom, I understand, I will bring him back. Dad, what if you are not in Konoha, the position of Nara patriarch?"

"I passed it on to Yanyan! Don't think about it. With so many people in the Nara clan, can't I choose a patriarch?"

Three days later, outside Sand Hidden Village, Shikamaru slowly walked into the reception room at the door with a gift bag on his back.

"Come with me!" The ninja who was in charge of the reception had a passable face, not so enthusiastic and not so repulsive.

Nara Shikamaru is always better than Uzumaki Naruto, at least his identity is not so troublesome!Men are men!Anyway, aren't Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki married?Kazekage-sama is free to whomever he likes, and with Airl-sama hidden in their sand, there is no shortage of heirs, not to mention Kankuro-sama's child is about to be born!

The sand ninjas comforted themselves like this, silently accepting the fact that it was a foregone conclusion.

The sand ninja who was in charge of the reception rang the people in Kazekage's office, "Master Kazekage, Nara Jōnin has arrived!"

"Come in."

Gaara's cold voice sounded from inside, and Shikamaru's heart was turned upside down.

"Master Kazekage, I will go down first!" Sand Ninja retreated with a wink.The two left behind were suddenly a little embarrassed.

"Do you need my help?" Shikamaru put the gift bag on the sofa beside him, and sat behind the assistant's desk that had not been used for a long time.

"No...you have to take a rest just now..."

"You don't need to see me outside. I have rested in the hotel outside the village and I am not tired."

"Well," Gaara took out some information, "There is a piece of information that you need to fill in, and the sand hidden ninja database needs to be backed up."

"it is good."

Gaara looked at Shikamaru and lowered his head to fill in, "Is there no problem with Mom and Dad?"

"Well, there is no problem. There is no need to worry at all." Shikamaru raised his head and smiled in relief, "They have already traveled to the new city in the south of the Land of Fire! They wish they didn't have me, the light bulb, to block their eyesight."

"That's good!"

"How's Arrow?"

"He just entered school and doesn't finish school until five o'clock. He has been looking forward to your coming! So don't worry about him."

"Ah."

………………

"Father! Uncle Shikamaru!"

As soon as school was over, Ai Luo saw two people at the school gate, holding Shuhe and running over quickly.

"It's grown a lot taller!" Shikamaru bent down and rubbed his head, "Let's go home!"

"Father, will Uncle Shikamaru live with us in the future?"

"Ah."

Back home, Shikamaru looked at the familiar furniture and suddenly felt a sense of alienation, and he will live here from now on.

Some time ago he was still in pain and wanted to forget Gaara, but now he wants to live with him, no need to hide his emotions and stand with him openly.

"What is Uncle Shikamaru thinking?" Airl stood barefoot on the sofa, looking at Shikamaru puzzled.

"It's nothing." Shikamaru came back to his senses and smiled, "It's just a little...happy..."

"Uncle, you're not familiar with this place yet! I'll show you around." Ai Luo has become much more lively in the past two years.

"Oh? Okay! May I put down the salute first?"

"Father, will Uncle Shikamaru live in Uncle Yashamaru's room?"

Shikamaru cared about his accommodation and didn't care about Airl's address.

"Stupid kid, of course Nara kid wants to live with your father, I don't even know that."

"why?"

"Because they're a couple, stupid brat."

"A pair?"

"Shouhe, don't talk nonsense, Airl still doesn't understand this." Gaara warned.

"Anyway, we'll know sooner or later! That woman named Murajima won't come today! Nara brat, hurry up and cook, I'm hungry!" Shuzuru doesn't care about these things!

"Tailed beasts are also hungry?" Shikamaru expressed his surprise.

"What? Are you dissatisfied with me?" Shouhe frowned.

"No." Shikamaru shook his head, he still doesn't want to mess with this bad-tempered tailed beast.

This home has not changed much from before he left, the only thing that has changed is the guest room where he lived, which is now the bedroom of Airl and Shukaku, with a small double bed, a desk next to the bed with books and a few sheets on it. Group photo, the siblings and Ai Luo's, and his and Ai Luo's.A soft carpet was laid on the floor, and according to Airl's exclusive disclosure, Shuhe likes to roll on it.There was also a two-part wardrobe with childish drawings, as if by Airl.

For dinner, although Murajima didn't come because of Shikamaru, he had already prepared the ingredients properly, and the refrigerator was full, not just Bingliangmaru's crumbling appearance.

"I'll carry you up"

The sink was a bit high, and when Shikamaru took Airo to wash, he carried him onto the small stool he was stepping on.

"The toothbrush should be brushed from top to bottom, and the tongue should also be brushed!"

"Let me see if it's clean!"

"Ah..." Airl opened her mouth obediently.

"Clean it up! Go, go to sleep!" Shikamaru picked him up and flew to the bedroom.

"I'll tell you the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf..." Shikamaru lay on the small bed and opened the book of fairy tales, reading it.

"Dad never tells me bedtime stories..." Arrow complained a little, "Dad doesn't talk much, and doesn't play games with me..."

"Then Airl doesn't like Papa?"

The child shook his head, "I still like Dad very much. I know Dad is very busy, so he doesn't have time to accompany me."

"In the future, I'll come to play with you, talk with you, and play games with you, okay?"

"Ah."

"Okay, let's start listening to the story now. Shuhe has fallen asleep, and Ai Luo wants to go to bed early. Once upon a time, there was a Little Red Riding Hood who was going to grandma's house... The big bad wolf has become like grandma..."

Although it is the first day here, Shikamaru has adapted well to the life of the daddy.He is also a man who made up for it!

Gaara is busy helping Shikamaru pack up and salute, all the clothes are hung in the cabinet, and there are some odd things that he doesn't know where to put them.

"Just put it there and I'll clean it up!" Shikamaru returned to the master bedroom.

"I thought I'd help out if I had nothing to do."

"Let me come!" Shikamaru put the messy things on the table back into the bag, "Mom prepared it, but it's really useless, let's put it down first! I'll talk about it tomorrow, it's already too late. "

He didn't notice anything wrong when he said it, just
