[Zuo Ming] Bone Eater

In the middle of the night, Hokage's office was brightly lit.

In the past, this spacious room was already deserted by this point in time, only Hokage Tsunade and his assistant Shizune were left to sort out the files, but today it was very lively.

But I saw a row of people standing outside the door of Hokage's office, and another group of people standing inside the office. These are all ninjas from Konoha Village.

Everyone crowded together, stretching their necks like ducks being pulled up by the back of their necks. Lo and behold, all the focus of sight was on the two people standing in the center of the office.

These two people are not other people, one is Uchiha Sasuke who just returned.The other is the Hachioji Guiyue who has recently become famous in Konoha Village.

Some people may wonder why Hachioji Guiyue is also here.

According to insiders, in fact, the news of Sasuke Uchiha's return was already informed to Tsunade Naruto.And this informant is the Eighth Prince Guiyue.People even found out later that it was the eighth prince Guiyue who brought Uchiha Sasuke back, which can explain why these two people appeared together.

These two people, one is eighteen or nine years old, with black hair and black eyes, tall about 1.8 meters tall, hugging his shoulders, with a contented look on his face, and the other is 13 years old, also has black hair and black eyes, just standing like that , there was no expression in his eyes.They don't look exactly the same on the outside, but they feel quite similar. Those who don't know it think they are brothers.

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Tsunade, who was sitting behind the desk, crossed his hands, looked at the eighteen or nine-year-old man with a satisfied expression, and said with a smile:

"I just said how could this stinky boy come back obediently. It turned out that you, the eighth prince, met Orochimaru and his party halfway and brought him back. Not bad, you must know that we dispatched so many people at that time, but we didn't convince him. "

The "brat" and "he" refer to the 13-year-old boy standing next to this man.

The young Sasuke Uchiha has a stubborn temper and is a guy who does his own thing.Escaping from Konoha Village really troubled many people.The superior was furious because of this, and insisted on labeling him as a traitor, which caused Tsunade a lot of headaches.If it wasn't for her insistence, I'm afraid an assassination force would have been dispatched long ago to demand his head. Others would be fine by then. The friends who grew up with Sasuke might not be able to bear it, and Naruto would be the first one.It is also a good thing that the boy can come back today.

So it can be said that the eighth prince returned to the moon and made great contributions.

"Speaking of which, Sasuke, why do you listen to him?" Tsunade looked at the boy and asked.And there are many people who have the same question as Hokage.Those waiting in the office, such as Shizune, Jonin representative Asma, Kuroyuki, and some Anbu members think so.

Seeing this, the man standing next to the boy said first:

"Actually, everything is the same as what Sasuke-kun said. I didn't help him too much when he came back. It was his own decision to kill Orochimaru. He was the one who started it. I just watched from the side and guarded against interference from outsiders by the way. .”

"Oh, really? But with his skill, it's very difficult to deal with Orochimaru alone. You don't mean to help him kill Orochimaru deliberately in order to get rid of his crime of leaving the village without authorization, so that he has the steps to come back, right? "

As expected of Tsunade, he is still very discerning.Of course, there is also an element of humor in this statement.

Hearing this, the man with the pseudonym "Eight Princes Returning to the Moon" snorted and said, "It is true that I restrained Orochimaru, but he did it. And, as I said, I just helped him, the real mastermind And the executor is himself."

Hearing this, Tsunade glanced at the black-haired boy.

Since the two of them spoke, the boy has been silent.

In fact, it can be seen that he doesn't like this kind of report meeting, and he doesn't like people to analyze his heart.Judging from his expression of not being excited at all when he came back and his still indifferent attitude towards everyone, Tsunade doubts whether he really wants to come back.

But after much deliberation, there is no harm in the end, Tsunade chuckled and said: "Okay, I understand, then let's leave it at that, it's Sasuke's meritorious service. But, Uchiha Sasuke."

At this point, Tsunade looked at the boy, his eyes became stern, and he spoke impolitely:

"Leaving the village casually, or abandoning the village and leaving after the village suffered heavy damage. Although you may have killed the enemy for revenge, this move is too personal and heroic, and it has caused a lot of trouble for everyone. I still don't like it. I fully agree. And I don’t think you can succeed without the help of the Hachioji. This is a joke with your life. I hope you will pay attention in the future, obey the command, and don’t make such self-righteous actions in the future, understand? If not Promise, I will not let you come back!"

Hearing this, the boy looked at Tsunade and said without emotion: "Got it."

Tsunade was a little dissatisfied with this attitude, and shouted: "Is this your attitude? The voice is too small!"

Hearing this, the boy just looked at her silently.Seeing the situation like this, Sasuke glanced at the young man beside him, and said: "Although he is a lurker, he had to receive education and brainwashing in order to integrate into the life of Orochimaru, so he has not fully recovered his emotional cognition yet. In this way , leave him to me, after a while when he recovers, I will personally bring him here to make a serious apology to Hokage-sama."

"Not only me, but also his partner and teacher. Everyone was worried about him. Sakura and the others shed a lot of tears, and Kakashi blamed himself for a while."

"Okay, I see. I'll let him thank everyone."

After hearing these words, Tsunade nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. Then Sasuke should return to Kakashiban in the future."

"I don't want to go to Kakashiban for now."

Suddenly, just as Tsunade was making a decision, the black-haired boy Sasuke suddenly said this, and Tsunade was taken aback:

"You're not going?"

The boy looked at her with emotionless eyes and said:

"It's actually like this. In the process of killing Orochimaru, Hachioji Guiyue gave me a lot of help and encouragement. At the same time, I also saw the skills of Mr. Hachioji. I think I can learn more from him, so I have already worshiped him as a teacher."

Tsunade looked at the man next to the boy in surprise, "Is this true?"

Sasuke felt that there was no need to hide it, so he nodded and said, "Yes, that's how it is."

"It's so stupid!"

Tsunade got angry at the boy and said, "Apprenticeship is a very serious matter. Since you have already made Kakashi your teacher, how can you casually apprentice? Where will Kakashi be like this?"

Hearing this, the young man just said: "With all due respect, it's normal for a ninja to have two or three teachers. And I don't think Mr. Kakashi can teach me anymore."

"Sasuke! You are too proud!"

"Lord Hokage."

The moment the boy was about to anger Hokage again, the person standing beside him said, "Kakashi is busy now, and I'm free, so it's okay to teach him."

Tsunade fell silent after hearing this.After a while she said:

"It's not that the members of the class group can't be changed. It's just that he shouldn't do this. However, it happens that Kakashi is very busy recently, and there is no one to lead the ninja team. It seems that there is no way. In this way, in the future, Kakashi class, Let's change it to the Hachioji class. Since the daimyo-sama has allowed you to break the rules and be promoted to Jonin, I also promised to arrange a position for you in Konoha, and I will also take action for you here. You start as a teacher, and I will take the past card All the members of Cassia are assigned to you. Including Sakura, and Naruto. What do you think?"

This was exactly what Sasuke wanted.He nodded and said, "I am happy to help. After all, I have learned the rules of ninja teachers in the past."

Tsunade said in surprise: "Oh, is that so? Originally, I planned to let you learn the teacher's rules in the future."

Sasuke lied and said respectfully without blushing: "To tell you the truth, Hokage-sama, I used to want to be a ninja teacher, and I studied many teaching books in private. .Now that my dream has finally come true and I have been promoted exceptionally, I am very happy. At the same time, when I am teaching, I can also take on some Jnin missions for the village to increase economic benefits. These are all according to your arrangement."

It's okay if you don't say this, but when you say it, Tsunade is immediately overjoyed.

As soon as she clapped her hands, two blushes appeared on her face, and she said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, that's the best. That's it, I will tell Kakashi, and he can go to the task with confidence. That's it , The Hachioji class is established today!"

"Thank you Hokage-sama, then please take care of me from now on."

After finishing speaking, Sasuke bowed to the onlookers behind him one by one. Seeing this, other ninja teachers also bowed and nodded:

"Where is it? From now on, let's work together to defend the village."

Knowing each other and saluting each other, the beginning of this harmony is the beginning of Hachioji Guiyue's integration into the village collective.

"Oh, by the way, Hachioji, the daimyo ordered you to arrange a residence. It's in Hachimachi."

Seeing that Sasuke turned to leave, Tsunade suddenly said this, he heard it, and quickly said: "No need, I'll just live in the original place."

"Naruto's house?"

Hearing this, the young man standing beside Sasuke looked back at him, but Sasuke said without changing his expression:

"Yeah, right there."

Tsunade frowned and said: "It's not very convenient, Naruto's house is not very spacious, it's just enough for him to live alone."

"I'm used to it, so that's it."

"This... well, but the house is still reserved for you, let us know when you want to live in it."

Sasuke heard it and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

After speaking, Sasuke led the boy out of the Hokage office building.

When we got outside, it was already late at night, and there were still many people who hadn't left.

Among them, Xiao Li, Ding Ci, Tian Tian, ​​Xiao Ying, and Ino all came to wait for Sasuke.

Seeing the two people come out, everyone immediately surrounded them.

"Sasuke, we're worried about you."

"Sasuke, are you finally back, great."

"You kid, I thought you were really a traitor. It turned out that you deliberately lied to everyone in order to get close to Orochimaru. I really didn't expect you to have such resourcefulness and ability."

"Yeah, I underestimated you."

It became lively for a while, everyone chatted with the boy one by one.

The boy looked lazy, but he was still willing to answer, which made everyone more excited.

Seeing all this, Sasuke felt a little unbelievable.

No matter how he once imagined the scene of his return, but seeing it now, it was as enthusiastic as expected.

Sasuke still likes it.

Only, there is a little difference.

Averting his eyes from the center of the crowd, Sasuke looked at a blond boy standing at the outermost edge.

He looked at the crowd with a joyful and gratified expression, especially at the black-haired boy in there, the kind of eyes that would be nice even if he didn't talk to him as long as he looked at him, that was Naruto's.

But what was strange was that Naruto stood there, motionless, and didn't go up, even though he showed an expression of eagerness to talk to the black-haired boy.

I don't know if I didn't dare, or I was embarrassed, or what the reason was.

"This is for you. Sakura and I spent half the night rushing to work. As soon as we heard that you could return to Konoha, we immediately prepared it. The brand is ready-made, but now it has been changed to a different size, so cloth The size of the belt needs to be adjusted, and Sakura and I did it by ourselves."

Saying that, Ino handed something to the black-haired boy.

Sasuke went to see it, but saw it was a brand new Konoha ninja headgear.

The things that girls give to their sweethearts are nothing more than dressing like this.It is also their painstaking efforts.

But looking at Naruto, after seeing the new forehead guard, he was happy for the boy and a bit complicated

He was outside the crowd, trying to squeeze in but couldn't get in.

His eyes tried hard to meet the black-haired boy, but the other party didn't know whether it was unintentionally or on purpose, he always missed the eye contact with him, so Naruto had to wait outside, as if he wanted to wait for the people to disperse and talk to him .

Seeing Naruto's appearance, Sasuke, who was standing aside, walked calmly into the crowd surrounded by the wall, and pushed the black-haired boy out with his shoulders.

"I understand everyone's thoughts. However, it's too late today, let's stop here, everyone go back first. Naruto, let's go."

"Ah, let's go?" Sakura was still a little bit reluctant to let go of the black-haired boy.

"Yes, it's too late."

Sasuke knew the girl's obsession with him.

But at most he only had gratitude in his heart, and he knew what he wanted.

For this reason, he didn't say any more, and left with Naruto and the boy himself.

***

Taking the black-haired boy out of the crowd, and then walking with the three of Naruto, in fact, this is Sasuke specially creating an opportunity for the 12-year-old Naruto to be alone with the boy himself.

He knew in his heart why the boy himself was so indifferent to Naruto.

Although he came back, his mind was still filled with revenge, thinking that hatred can create power, and love can disperse hatred, so he treated all care as a scourge, and even excluded Naruto from himself.

He has to change the status quo.

There are many crickets chirping on summer nights, and the starry sky is so beautiful, especially when Konoha’s street lamps are still not fully repaired, how bright the stars are.

The night wind is cool, the night road is quiet, and the night is very beautiful.

So the atmosphere became a little lighter.

On such a wooden leaf path, the three of them walked side by side.

After walking for about three or four minutes, the three of them remained silent, and Sasuke said slowly:

"Is there anything you want to say? You know, for you, Naruto has been paying the rent for you these days, living a very hard life."

The object of this conversation was the black-haired boy.

There is no other meaning, just want to bring the relationship between the two teenagers closer.

Hearing this, the black-haired boy glanced at Naruto imperceptibly, but didn't speak.

On the other hand, Naruto was very embarrassed when he was told, he hurriedly laughed and said:

"Where is it, it's just a matter of raising your hand. Besides, I, I'm not free. I knew this kid would come back, so I have to ask him for rent when the time comes, haha."

After laughing, the trip of the three of them was still so quiet.

It wasn't until Sasuke couldn't bear to speak again that the black-haired boy said:

"I'll pay you back the rent."

His words were so curt, his tone so cold

As if wanting to sweep away the dust in front of his eyes, he is crisp and neat, without nostalgia.

Naruto froze for a moment, with an embarrassed smile in his eyes, and said:

"Well, I'm telling you it's a lie. It's okay if you don't pay it back. You just came back, so where is the money?"

However, these caring words did not arouse the emotion and resonance of the black-haired boy.

He didn't pay attention to him, but turned to the man beside him and said:

"I still have questions to ask you, the two of us will find a place to talk."

Naruto is completely excluded from this statement.

Mingming just talked with others, he also said a few words politely.Sakura and Ino gave him something, and he not only accepted it but also said thank you.

But to Naruto...

Seeing this, although Naruto felt uncomfortable, he still put his hands on his head, laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you guys talk first, I'll go home first."

Seeing this situation, Sasuke's eyes flashed inadvertently.

"Apologize to Naruto."

Suddenly, a clear sentence resounded among the three.

It was Sasuke.

Facing the boy himself, he said coldly, "Now."

The author has something to say: No more 2-character titles.Otherwise, I can’t express some meanings (wry smile)

It took a day this time, sorry orz

In fact, the author's other novels have an update task tot, and as of now, I still owe 1 words, and I will finish writing it before tomorrow morning, lying down and crying
