Ninja Sako

When I returned to Konoha, I should have been filled with emotion. Although Naruto and the others thought it was only a short time away, I haven’t seen Konoha for more than a year.

During some sleepless nights in the Port Mafia, I also thought of the sunshine and rain in Konoha, and the large grassland outside Konoha Village. When the wind blows, the grass waves roll, and the grass clippings fly to the blue sky, casting shadows like birds. .

Now my companions and I are standing at the door of the Konoha Gate, Naruto and I looked at the sign on the Konoha Gate, and Naruto shouted loudly: "Konoha, we are back!"

Everyone has experienced a lot this time. Even Shino showed a relaxed expression, but Kakashi still looked listless. He looked at the black-haired boy standing over Konoha, and said: "Well... there are still people to welcome you, I'm really envious."

"Even if it has been upgraded to a B-level task, it is still within reach for Kakashi," I said with a lemony expression: "So there is no need for anyone to welcome you, but for us, we are close to death..."

"It has nothing to do with the danger encountered." Kakashi yawned and said lazily.At this time Neji had seen us, so he came towards us.And Kakashi continued beside me: "It's always nice to have someone to greet you when you come home after working outside for so long."

"What kind of home is this?" I said verbally.

"Stubborn." Kakashi seemed to be smiling, he patted my shoulder and pushed me towards Neji, "Go."

"...a lot of trouble." I muttered, and then walked up to Ning Ci: "I'm back."

"Welcome back." Neji said so, and then showed me a faint smile.

This was the first time I saw Neji smile.

To tell you the truth, his smile is beautiful, and my heart, which has been silent for a long time, seems to tremble.

Then he froze.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"You laughed just now," he said.

"Obviously you laughed..." I stopped after speaking halfway.

Ah...so that's the case.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw him smiling.

This may be the first time...

It doesn't seem like a bad feeling.

He also realized something, the sun was shining on his face, and his expression was quite soft at the moment.

"Is it convenient? Come and eat with me," he said.

I nodded, and then said to Zhi Nai over there: "I'll go first, Zhi Nai."

"Okay." Shino nodded.

"Why didn't you report to the teacher?" Kakashi asked depressedly.

I was in a good mood so I made a joke: "I'm afraid the teacher will control my puppy love."

Kakashi laughed happily, and Neji coughed.

"Look, you scared Neji." Kakashi shook his head, "Okay, you guys go now, I don't want to see you."

"Hi hi." I replied.

02.

Ning Ci had already booked a restaurant in advance, and I sat down and asked, "What if I don't come?"

"Then leave." He said.

"You can wait until I come to order." I said.

"There is no need to delay your time along the journey." He said so.

After a few conversations, the food was served, maybe a little bland, but I liked it very much.

His words fell into the bottom of my heart, and after all, it caused ripples in my heart.

Although I wanted to take a walk after the meal, he said directly, "I'll take you home."

In fact, I was a little tired, but I didn't want to take a rest directly.I looked up at him: "Would you like to sit at my house?"

He froze for a moment, then nodded: "OK."

He got up to pay the bill, I waited for him at the door, and then went to the Uchiha mansion together.

It was empty for many days, and the table was covered with dust. I apologized, but he didn't take it to heart, but cleaned it up with me.After I cleaned up the living room, I washed my hands and made tea. His expression was apologetic: "I'm sorry, but I have troubled you to entertain me."

"I invited you." I took a sip of hot tea, feeling relaxed physically and mentally, "You don't have to take such small things to heart."

"Okay." He nodded.

There seems to be a wonderful tacit understanding between me and Neji, and I can't explain why, but I don't hate it anyway.

It was dusk now, and the room looked dull and humid, so he and I hugged our teacups and went to chat on the courtyard corridor.The evening sun shines on the courtyard, and the vegetation looks a bit messy if it hasn't been repaired for a long time, but it also has a special flavor in the dusk.

"You have been gone for a long time, and there are also some rumors about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen." Neji said.

I lay down on the corridor and said, "We won't cut it when we meet the peach land."

"It really is the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?" he asked.

"Yeah." I said.

Talking to him about the various risks of this mission, he frowned frequently, and then he also talked about his recent affairs. They also went out to perform missions. Kai has always been iron-blooded in their education, but their opponents are generally Bandits and the like are not ninjas.

Listening to Ning Ci's voice, feeling the warm sunshine on his face, he was tired little by little.Consciousness gradually dimmed.At the end, it seems that Neji said: "Sako, we must become very strong."

"...Mmm." I replied softly, and then fell into a deep sleep.

I am indeed a little tired...

It doesn't seem to be in line with etiquette...forget it...it doesn't matter...after all, it's in front of Neji, so it doesn't matter.

03.

I was woken up by Neji.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the sky was full of stars. I supported my body, and the quilt slipped off my body naturally.

Next to Ning Ci said: "You fell asleep before, I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I went to the house and got you a sheet. Now it's completely dark, you should go back and rest."

"Hmm...thank you." I stood up staggeringly, feeling that my head was still not clear.

Why didn't he take me back to bed and sleep?Ah yes, this kind of action seems a bit too intimate for us, it doesn't matter if it's on a mission, but it's a private occasion after all, so...

Young Ning Ci was too polite.

After thinking of this, I gradually came to my senses. I hugged the sheet in my arms and said again: "It turned out that you have been delayed for so long. You should have woken me up earlier."

"It's okay." He said, "I'm fine today."

Are you kidding me, he is busy every day and he is fine today.

As I walked into the house, I undoubtedly glanced at the courtyard, and then found that the mess in the courtyard had been tidied up. I lowered my eyes and didn't know what to say.After opening the door and putting the sheet in, I put my hand on the paper door and turned my back to him and called out, "Ningci."

The moonlight passed through the corridor, and my shadow fell right at his feet.

"Yeah," he said.

The night wind blows, leaving a piece of silence.

I did not speak.

He didn't speak either.

I could hear his shallow breathing, which made my heart very peaceful.

There was the sound of birds in the distance, and the sound of the night wind blowing the paper door.

It's so quiet.

I let go of the paper door, then turned around and smiled at him: "You should go back, I'll take you out."

"Okay." He seemed to be infected by my smile, and smiled too.

04.

Walking side by side with him in the Uchiha house, the loneliness and coldness of the past seemed to have disappeared, and my steps became brisk.We said goodbye to each other after sending him out, but he didn't leave immediately.

"Sako." He called my name.

"Hmm." I nodded.

"I'm leaving," he said.

"Okay." I nodded.

He took a step forward, and my heart beat a little faster, but he didn't do anything, and he seemed to suppress himself forcibly.

"See you tomorrow," he said.

"Okay." I said.

"Good night."

"Good night."

I watched his back disappear into the night, then turned around and closed the gate of Uchiha Mansion.

On the window sill over there is a familiar red-eyed crow, and I think I already know it.I walked over and held out my hand and said, "You are here."

It pecked at my hand and flew away.

"What's going on..." I complained.

But it didn't affect my good mood.

05.

Please automatically translate the last sentence: Brother Itachi took a bite of his sister and flew away (...)

06.

In the next period of time, it returned to the way it was before. Some trivial tasks, it is not bad to rest for a few days after experiencing so many thrilling things, but if it continues like this, it will make people quite impatient .

Both me and Naruto think so.

Only Shino was quite calm.

During this period of time, he has been sorting out the bugs collected in the Kingdom of Waves, because they are still in the running-in period, so those bugs often crawl around on him, scaring the client several times, and Kakashi doesn't care about him , and sometimes even added fuel to the flames when the client became angry: "Oh, you lack experience."

Not long after, Class [-] received a lot of complaints, and by this time Shino had already controlled his bugs.

After weeding that day, Kakashi went back first. The three of us practiced outside the village. When we were tired, we went to the grass. The evening light shone on us. The overall strength has improved a bit, and those bugs that can move in the water have also been initially mastered."

"Congratulations!" Naruto said.

"Actually, I want to compete with you." Zhi Nao continued.

"Me?" I asked.

"No, the current me is not your opponent." Shino said, "It's Naruto."

"Ah..." Naruto said dryly, "Do you have to compete?"

"If you don't want to, you can refuse." Shino said.

"But you brought it up..." Naruto got up from the grass, and said tragically: "Well, let's have a look."

10 minute later.

Shino beat Naruto alive with the worm, seeing that the winning ticket was in his hands, but Shino sighed and took the worm back.

Naruto got up from the ground disheveledly: "Have you spared me... um... I mean, should we stop fighting?"

Zhi Nao shook his head: "I am not your opponent."

Naruto:"……"

Naruto: "Are you blind?"

I almost laughed out loud beside me, Naruto's words were a bit funny.

"Theoretically not." Zhi Nao pushed the glasses with his hands, "Do you want to check?"

Naruto:"……"

Naruto: "No thanks."

Shino sat next to me while I was still lying down, a small yellow flying insect fell from his fingertips, Shino said: "The insect told me that there is a terrible chakra in your body, if it explodes, it will kill me. And my bugs are killed in seconds."

"Eh?" Naruto leaned over curiously: "What? There is a terrible chakra in my body?"

"Yes." Shino nodded, "The chakra is as huge as a monster."

I understand it's Nine Tails.

But Naruto's face changed, he frowned, his expression a little gloomy.

He still doesn't know that he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I considered whether to tell him, and then I saw him slowly clenched his fists.

"So, do you hate me?" He asked softly.

"Why do you ask that?" Shino asked.

"Like a monster or something... No one wants to have a monster around them." Naruto said.

"A strong companion is also beneficial to me." Zhi Nai pushed his glasses, "I just regret that I am at the bottom of the seventh class."

"Ehhh?" Naruto opened his eyes wide, he didn't expect Shino to say that.

"I don't know why you are pitying yourself." I said from the side: "It is obviously a good thing to have huge power in your body, and you have got it cheaply to be good."

Naruto scratched his head and smirked, "Could it be that I am the legendary Son of Destiny, the destined hero?"

Not a hero by destiny, but the strength to be a hero that your father sacrificed his life to instill in you.And you too will surely be a hero.

I thought so in my heart.

But I said in my mouth: "I think you can ask Kakashi, he is well-informed and should be able to explain the powerful power in your body."

"Okay!" Naruto replied happily, and then he jumped up: "I'll go ask Kakashi-sensei right away! I'll go first, Sako, Shino."

"See you tomorrow." Shino raised his hand to greet Naruto.

I nodded and didn't speak.

Naruto ran away quickly, and Shino looked at me: "Do you know the reason?"

He is also very observant.

But I answered irrelevantly: "Have you heard of Injurik?"

"No." Shino said.

"Go back and check it out." I said so, then sat up from the ground, stretched my sore neck, then stood up, and patted most of the grass clippings off my body, "I'll go back first gone."

"I'll check when I get back tonight," Zhi Nai said.

"I think your father should know, or the patriarch of your oil girl clan knows." I said.

Shino seemed startled, "I see, Sako."

"Yeah." I nodded, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

07.

Konoha Office Building, Ninja Mission Center.

Kakashi handed the task report to Iruka who was sitting behind the table. Iruka read the task report carefully, and the expression on his face softened: "Naruto...does he get along well with his partner?"

"Not bad." Kakashi said: "He is an outgoing child, and he also has a strong appeal."

"Yeah..." Iruka nodded, "He is obviously a very good kid, but he was never noticed before. I hope he will get better in the future..."

"Yes." Kakashi said.

"What about Sako?" Iruka asked.

"Sako..." Kakashi looked at the white clouds outside the window.

The piercing murderous look, the icy eyes, the blood-like Sharingan, the dark aura emanating from the gestures and stamps when he glanced coldly.

It started when he almost died because of the shadow division丨body technique, or it became like that suddenly.

Death has a great impact on a person.

"She's very strong." Kakashi withdrew his gaze, then looked at Iruka again: "It should be stronger than you now."

"I see." Iruka scratched his face embarrassingly, "After all, I have been standing still for many years. Sako has always been excellent, and he should surpass me."

"Well, it should be based on how hard she works." Trying to use the multiple shadow clone technique to practice... This kind of thing is too outrageous. Kakashi has done it before, when he lifted the shadow clone. That multiple fatigue is really quite painful.

"Yes." Iruka said.

Don't ignore her efforts just because she is a genius.

07.

This day, I made an appointment with Naruto and Shino to go to a neighboring village to do tasks in the afternoon. I arrived first to take a nap in the tree, and then I heard a noise from below.

That was the first time I saw Sandfall Gaara.
