[Hokage] It's not a crow's mouth

The sky was a bit hazy and gloomy, unlike Konoha's usual appearance, Liuli looked out through the window, wondering if Konoha would rain when some important person passed away.Thinking about it, I found it impossible. Today's funeral is not for some important person.

"Liuli-san? Is this all right?" Naruto's voice drew her attention back, Liuli looked down at Naruto's black outfit, and straightened his collar, "Yes."

"What, why did you go out dressed like this today?" Naruto asked her.

"Today is my teacher's funeral." Liuli hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched his head, "I want to take you with me."

"Funeral?" Naruto showed a slightly apprehensive expression, "Can you take me there?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Liuli replied, took the two bouquets of white carnations placed at the door, and led him out.

The air is full of a transparent cool breath, like the breath of a god and Buddha who sees through the world, without the slightest smoke and fire.

Liuli led Naruto towards the cemetery, and from time to time on the road, he would meet people in black mourning clothes, and when he arrived at the cemetery, Liuli was surprised to find that there were many more people than she had imagined.

After standing in line quietly, the Third Hokage came to deliver a speech in person.

"Liuli-san," Naruto tugged on her sleeve lightly, "is it your teacher who died today?"

"Well, his surname is Harada, and he was my homeroom teacher when I was in school." Liuli touched his head and said softly, "The teaching is terrible, few people in the class are willing to listen, and everyone's grades in that subject are also very bad. , and privately call him 'Old Old Man'."

"Then why so many people came to his funeral?" Naruto blinked and continued to ask.

"Because he is a good teacher." Liuli laughed.

It looked like he was ignorant and did not quite understand, but Naruto still closed his mouth wisely, looking at the people who had formed a long line to offer flowers.

Bringing Naruto forward to offer flowers, the moment Liuli clasped his hands together, many memories of the past flashed through his mind, and Mr. Harada's old face wrinkled into orange peel became warm and kind as if it had a soft light with a filter stand up.

"The third generation welcomes you."

Surprised by the sudden appearance of Anbu, Liuli paused, looking at the upright Yinmao with a mask in front of him, a little speechless, "...what's the matter?"

"You'll know when you go." Yin Mao Anbu solemnly pretended not to know him.

Liuli looked at him silently for a moment, then pulled Naruto into his arms, "If that's the case, I'd like to ask An Bu Jun to help me take care of my child."

Silver Hair Anbe: "..."

Following Kakashi's directions and making two turns, Ruri saw Sandai Hokage smoking a pipe, "Sandaime, are you looking for me?"

"Oh, Ruri." The Third Hokage took down his pipe and exhaled a big smoke circle, then turned around, "Speaking of which, Harada is still a contemporary of me. He has been a teacher since the second generation established the ninja school. The elder of the elders."

"That's it." Liuli responded.

"How about it, is his lecture bad for decades?" Sandai Hokage asked.

"It's too bad...it's just that it's hard to interest children." Liuli said with her head down.

The Third Hokage didn't mind her respectful attitude, and laughed, "You don't have to bother to cover up for him, he knows how bad the lectures are. He told me before that he has been teaching at the Ninja School for so many years, and he is willing to take it seriously. The one who really listens to his lectures is Minato, and the other is you."

Hearing the name Namikaze Minato again from someone else, Liuli froze for a moment before saying, "It's the teacher's absurd praise."

"It seems that you haven't let go of Minato's death yet." Third Hokage sighed.

"...You are joking, I am neither a fourth-generation student nor a relative or friend, so I am not qualified to talk about letting go." Liuli lowered her head.

The Third Hokage sighed, and changed the subject, "I heard from the medical team that you injured your meridian on the day when Nine Tails attacked the village, and you can no longer bear the intensity of the battle, so you retired?"

"Yes." Liuli replied.

"Then, why did you even give up on research?" Third Hokage took another puff of cigarette, "Back then Shikaku told me that your research ability is comparable to that of Shota, and even surpassed in some aspects. Damage to the meridians should not affect your continued research on medical ninjutsu sealing techniques and various spells, right?"

Liuli was a little nervous and remained silent for a while without speaking.

"I also talked to Shota-kun, and he said that you have very unique insights into many techniques, and you are very talented in explaining some complicated principles." Third Hokage continued.

"...Why did you come to me today?" Liuli slightly raised her eyes and asked.

"Well, what an impatient child." Sandai Hokage sighed pretentiously, "That's right, Harada specially sent a message to see me before he passed away, and he made a request at that time."

"What?" Lucy couldn't help asking.

"He said, please let me hire you as the teacher of the first subject of the basic principles of the ninja school."

Liuli was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, "... Teacher Harada?"

"That guy, it seems that it is hard for you to raise Naruto alone, maybe you also think that your talent should not be wasted, and you asked me to entrust this matter before you died, really..."

In my memory, Mr. Harada really favored her when I was at school, and gave her a lot of help at that time, but after skipping a grade, she changed the class teacher, and later formed the Lujiu class to go on missions, and basically never went back to school to see him .

Even so, Mr. Harada has been paying attention to her, and didn't forget to help her at the end of life?

Liuli felt her nose a little sore.

"Liuli, life is vast, and besides the dead, there are many people you should pay close attention to." Third Hokage walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "How about it, do you want to accept this appointment? "

"...Yes, I will not disappoint the trust of the third generation and Sensei Harada."

After bidding farewell to the third Hokage, Liuli slowly walked out, and saw Anbu and Naruto confronting each other on a tree and under a tree.

...What is this for?

Seeing her come back, Anbu Anbu heaved a sigh of relief, appeared in front of her in an instant, handed her something and then disappeared, "Master Jiraiya asked me to hand this over to you."

That Jiraiya-sama gave it to her?

Liuli raised the object in her hand, and what came into view was a line of big characters: make love to heaven.
