[Hokage] One day to arrive

?In the end, the conversation between Lu Jiu and Yuan Weiyang in the woods was over for various reasons. Yuan Weiyang said to Lu Jiu that "it's nothing that has been evened out at that time" and deliberately put the matter in dust. Mention again.Everything between the two of them seems to have not changed, but it seems that Lu Jiu got a lot closer when he showed his feelings to Yuan Weiyang for the first time.

There were no accidents after that. Under Lu Jiu's arrangement, Lihuo smoothly settled in Yuan Weiyang and Lu Jiu's house in the evening of the next day as Aoki Lihuo without arousing any suspicion, and became Lu Jiu's prisoner. guardian.

then……

After Nara Shikahisa rescued the nearly broken cup from Yuan Weiyang's hand again, he finally didn't care about any troubles or not, and asked directly with a headache: "I said, Weiyang... why have you been working all day long?" Are you so out of your mind?" One must know that the incident with the Uchiha Clan just happened, and he was already very busy, but Yuan Weiyang, who has always been reliable in doing things, unexpectedly lost his chain at this time...

Although I didn't break anything important, I dropped a cup from time to time, almost hit someone, almost knocked over the data...

"It should be said that it has been like this since yesterday." Shiranui Xuanjian just brought a stack of documents over, just heard Lu Jiu's question, and shrugged a little meaninglessly, "By the way, I heard that Weiyang's younger brother adopted him the day before yesterday. An orphan from outside the village, maybe it has something to do with this?"

It's no wonder that Shi Zhihuo Xuanjian would guess like this, after all, Yuan Weiyang, who has always been gentle and steady, would not be surprised to do anything when he encountered something about his younger brother.

"Ah? Ah..." Yuan Weiyang sorted out the documents in his hands half-way, and finally found an opportunity, complaining to Shiranui Xuanma and Nara Shikuhisa in distress, "Xiao Jiu said he wanted to find a copy Work... Could it be that you dislike my brother, who is incompetent...?"

Of course, what hit Yuan Weiyang even more was the savings that Lu Jiu took out that was richer than him—it was obtained from exchanging money for headhunting tasks when Lu Jiu was wandering alone—but this cannot explain.

Sure enough, I still blame him for being useless as an older brother, for not being able to take good care of Xiao Jiu...

Shiranui Genma and Nara Shikoku looked at Yuan Weiyang whose whole person suddenly darkened, the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching.

"Well... Weiyang, your brother is nineteen years old, right?" Nara Shika thought about the information about Yuan Weiyang's younger brother for a long time, scratched his face, looking at the sky and the earth, but he didn't look at Yuan Weiyang's dejected appearance and hurt himself "I'm about to become a mature man, and I have adopted another child, so I should stand up on my own. You, an older brother, should support me..."

"...What?!" Yuan Weiyang slapped the table and almost jumped up, "Is Xiaojiu going to leave brother? Absolutely not!"

While talking, the movements of Yuan Weiyang's hands were not slow at all, a shadow part/body was separated from the seal, and the main body jumped out of the window directly.

"Hello!" Shiranui Genma who was stunned subconsciously rushed to the window and called out.

And Nara Lu, who was also unable to stop him, was stunned for a long time, turned his head and looked at Yuan Weiyang with a look of disgust as he sat back in his original position, but still looked worried and couldn't sit still, and silently spat: "It's all What is it..."

And Lu Jiu, who was shopping with Lihuo, didn't know that Yuan Weiyang had such a lively life in the office. He was looking at the list Yuan Weiyang made last night, thinking about what else he didn't buy.

"Well—the daily necessities are almost complete. Is there anything else you want to buy from Lihuo?" After confirming that there is nothing missing, Lu Jiu, who has never really raised a child, asked directly. , standing on the side holding a big steamed stuffed bun and chewing on Lihuo.

"...Can I buy books?" Li Huo thought for a while, looked up at Lu Jiu and asked.He remembered that his mother said that he could learn a lot by reading more books.

"A storybook?" Lu Jiu thought for a while and said, "The ones written by your uncle Weiyang are much better than the ones sold in bookstores, and some of the ideas and ideas in them are quite interesting. I'll bring them to you when I get back..."

"Brother Lu Jiu—" Naruto's familiar loud voice suddenly rang out.Lu Jiu looked up, and the orange figure running towards him and the person being dragged by him were exactly the pair of Naruto and Neji, who jumped away and remained silent.

Naruto pulled Ning Ci and ran over to stand still, only to find that there was a black hair and black eyes beside Lu Jiu, dressed in a formal little Douding, and after looking around for a while, he looked blankly at Lu Jiu asked, "Hey - who is this brat?"

"Naruto and Neji, good afternoon." Looking at the two who had just had lunch together and were about to go back to school, Lu Jiu greeted them naturally, "This is the one I just adopted. Child, Aoki Lihuo. By the way, he should also enter the ninja school next year... At that time, he will still need your care as seniors."

Should that be the case?Lu Jiu is not sure.

Although it was still half a year before Huo entered school, Naruto was obviously very happy when he heard this, scratched his head and laughed and said, "Of course it's no problem! Don't worry if you leave it to Uzumaki Naruto! From... from... ..." Speaking of Li Huo's name, he suddenly got stuck.

Ning Ci was already used to Naruto being silly from time to time, and just about to open his mouth to help him, Li Huo looked at the half bun in his hand, showed a slightly distressed expression, and walked forward He took a step forward and bowed to Naruto: "Li Huo, thank you Senior Naruto."

"Huh?" Naruto obviously had never seen such a well-behaved child, and felt a little uncomfortable, "That...you can just call him big brother, senior is too formal!"

Naruto smirked for a while, seeing that Li Huo had straightened up, blinked his eyes and retreated behind Lu Jiu uncomfortably, then put away the smile on his face and asked, "By the way, brother Lu Jiu, is there something going on in the village?" What's wrong? The atmosphere on the street has been weird since yesterday."

Hearing Naruto's question, Neji also focused his attention on Lu Jiu.But he didn't find it strange, after all, Naruto, who was always carefree, was sometimes unexpectedly sensitive, and Neji had already noticed it.

"It seems that something happened to the Uchiha clan. It is said that the whole clan is dead, and only one child of the patriarch's family is left." Lu Jiu didn't want to talk about this matter. Anyway, he has never had any contact with this clan. Such an attitude Not surprising either.

"I see..." Naruto was taken aback for a moment, and Neji's expression changed slightly.After all, for them, such a thing, even if it is just such a simple sentence, is still too tragic.Naruto lost his smile and muttered to himself, "That Sasuke... no, Mr. Iruka said that Sasuke was sick and asked for leave, he should be fine. Did he... lose his parents too...?"

"Sasuke?" Li Huo poked his head out from behind Lu Jiu, looked at Naruto with bright eyes and asked - he had heard this name before, it seemed that the young son of the patriarch's family who was two years older than him was called this name.

"Ah, Uchiha Sasuke, the No.1 in our class. It is said that he is the same genius as Neji." Naruto scratched his head irritably, he didn't notice Lihuo's unexpectedly interested eyes, but suddenly thought of something, His eyes lit up and he looked at Neji and said, "Ningji, let's visit Sasuke together tonight!"

No... Rather than visiting someone he has never met, he wants to practice more...

Neji sighed weakly, but he knew very well that it was useless to directly refuse Naruto's words, so——

"Actually, I just wanted to say, Naruto, if we don't go back to school, we will miss the afternoon class." As if he didn't hear Naruto's suggestion just now, Neji calmly stared into Naruto's eyes and said.

"Huh——!! Oops, it's gymnastics class in the afternoon——!" Naruto even forgot that he was dragging Neji all the time, turned his head and ran towards the ninja school.

Fortunately, Neji was prepared and didn't fall because of it. He could only run away with Naruto before he could bid farewell to him - often with Naruto, this kind of impolite thing seems to be used to it... But this kind of thing Is it really good to get used to it?

Lu Jiu didn't care about these formalities, and asked Li Huo who came out from behind him knowingly after seeing Naruto and Neji running away together: "Li Huo wants to go and see that little... child named Sasuke?" ?"

——That Uchiha Sasuke, although he has never seen it before, is the last known clan member after all.

Li Huo thought about it, but after a long time, he slowly shook his head: "...No need."

He still remembered that from the moment he stepped into Konoha again, or earlier, he was just Aoki Lihuo.

However, Li Huo apparently did not forget the topic he and Lu Jiu talked about before Naruto appeared: "Uncle Lu Jiu, I can go to Naruto...can you borrow the textbooks from the ninja school?"

"If you can borrow it yourself, of course you can." Lu Jiu looked down into Li Huo's eyes, and after thinking about the child's current defense and rejection of others, she reminded, "However, don't look at that guy's appearance. It's silly, but you can clearly distinguish between the real and the fake, do you really want to be friends with him?"

Li Huo lowered his head, couldn't help but think of Naruto's obviously silly but unexpectedly bright smile at the beginning, and pursed his lips in silence.

It's just that Li Huo didn't know that his hesitation at this time was useless.In the next half a year, unknowingly, he still got acquainted with Naruto, whom he hadn't met a few times, and after getting acquainted, he successfully borrowed a set of textbooks that looked like new from the other party... …
