[Comprehensive] Konoha flower season

9.

—Okay, if I get kicked out by the broom, you can't just leave me and run for your life.

By the time we reached Konoha, the sky had already turned white.I fell asleep very comfortably, the water door poked me awake, and asked: "Will you go to my house and lie down, or should I send you back directly?"

I struggled—realized that I was still being hugged by his princess, and in a daze broke free and rubbed my eyes and said, "Where...where is it going, I'm so sleepy."

Minato chuckled, knelt down and motioned for me to let him carry it.I think this is better than being carried back by the princess or rolling back with a murmur, so I lay down on it.

He picked me up on his back, and I fell asleep again in a daze. This time, my face was pressed, and I drooled from his shoulder.

Minato carried me back to his home in the morning light, on the third floor of Jonin's apartment.He held me with one hand and opened the door. The room was neatly furnished, and his ninja school textbooks were placed on the coffee table.

Then he put me on the sofa and covered me with a quilt.This person is so virtuous... I thought about it, and fell asleep on the sofa in a daze.

I was awakened by the aroma of rice.

You must know that I have been hungry for at least two meals, and I have been forced to travel for so long, my stomach is already so hungry that it hurts.At this time, smelling a smell is like getting up straight from the bed.

Then I jump up and realize this is Minato's home, and I'm still wearing the white bathrobe I put on last night after a night of rolling in the mud.Minato put the plate on the table, saw me and asked with concern: "Are you awake? When you wake up, go over there and wash your face. I made soup and fried some side dishes."

My feet still hurt a lot, but it's still bearable.I nodded dimly, ran to wash my face, and then came out and sat at the dinner table a little stiffly.

Surprisingly, it was full of color, fragrance and taste... He fried okra, cooked pork ribs and yam soup, and put a bowl of crystal clear rice in front of me.I suddenly felt that Namikaze Minato was not an easy person, is there still such a boy now?No!

Thinking about it, my stomach growled.

Namikaze Minato thoughtfully pretended not to hear the earth-shattering bowel movement: "Eat quickly, don't starve to death."

I pretended to pick up the chopsticks very reservedly, and then ate it unceremoniously and voraciously.

Namikaze Minato might have been taken aback by the way I ate: "...Eat, after dinner, how about going to see Lord Sandaime? Although I just told him that you are at my house, he seems to have something to do with you."

I swallowed the food in my mouth with difficulty: "Super, super delicious!"

Namikaze Minato laughed again: "Eat more."

What's the matter with your mature tone of a young man!I whispered, but the fried okra is really good, and the mouth is short.My mouth was blocked tightly by the delicious food, and I couldn't make a sound.

Namikaze Minato served me a bowl of pork ribs and yam soup, scooped up corn in the spoon and asked, "Do you want to eat corn?"

I was almost moved to the point of tears, and holding the chopsticks, I said, "Eat, eat!"

Namikaze Minato neatly served me two pieces of corn and placed them in front of me.

I solved the most basic problem of food and clothing for the stomach, regained the dignity and integrity of human beings, and ate soup implicitly.The soup is also super delicious... What is it that makes this young man so virtuous? It's so good not to be hungry, and it's so good to be a human being. My nose almost felt sore.

I scooped up a spoonful of clear pork rib soup with a small spoon and asked politely, "Aren't Auntie and Uncle here?"

He said gently: "I am a war orphan."

I froze for a moment.I remembered that when I didn't know him before, I thought he was a carefree boy who could be raised by the powerful Ninja Village.But what I forgot at the time was that Konoha was also swept away by war, and people died because of it.

"—me too," I whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought this up."

I don't know what else was destroyed in the Second Ninja World War. Is it the Chaoyin Village that was buried in the sea of ​​flames, the mother who was dragged away, or the land where the people were devastated?Or the home of this teenager in front of me?

But all I know for sure is that war is a living monster.Nowhere is there a war aimed at ending war.War grows in war itself, it sucks blind and stupid hatred, grows by biting the flesh injured by violence, and uses hatred as the cornerstone to destroy all good things that can be seen on the way of growth.War is total, destroying all good living things.

Everyone living in the world today is suffering because of this, from daimyos and hokages to ordinary people like me and Minato, and even everyone I know.But we all know that there will still be such wars, and there will be no end to them. ——Because the monster named war is immortal, the evil and hatred hidden in human nature are immortal, and if trust is not built, it will always come back.

I stirred the small spoon and tried my best to make up for my slip of the tongue just now: "You probably know... I am from Chaoyin Village. When I was six years old, our village was wiped out by Yunyin Village. Everything was burned ... including my mother."

"I know." He looked over with gentle eyes, "but we have to live well."

After I finished the soup, he quickly cleaned up the dishes and found me a coat to wear: "Let's go, I'll take you to Hokage Studio. The third generation has something important to see you for."

Namikaze Minato insisted on sending me to see Sandaime, so I had no choice but to continue to trouble him and went to Hokage Building with him, but after we arrived, we found that Sandaime had gone to Senju Mansion, saying that he wanted to visit Grandma Mito.When I was leaving, I accidentally missed a fruit basket.The ninja on duty entrusted us to send it there.Namikaze Minato and I ran across the streets of Konoha carrying the fruit basket.

I wondered in my heart why the third generation chose to go to Senju’s house at this juncture, but after thinking about it, it might be that the third generation remembered Mito’s grandmother’s illness, and he remembered it because I was kidnapped-so I went to have a look.

After all, Grandma Mito can be regarded as the elder of the third generation. I suppressed the strange and ominous premonition in my heart and comforted myself.

Namikaze Minato asked with concern: "Does your foot still hurt?"

I said stubbornly: "No, the scab has already formed. I am strong!"

Namikaze Minato seemed to be amused by me, and teased: "Then you race against me, can you outrun me?"

I puffed up my face and said, "I won't lose to you—"

His blond hair glistened in the afternoon sun like a crushed sun.I pulled apart with him, counted three two one and ran.

The wind of Konoha smells of takoyaki and grilled eel.

I like here.I thought naively, I also started to like the boy who ran in front of me, I also like Grandma Mito and Mikoto Tsunade, I also like the slightly wrinkled face of the third generation and the chalk in the hands of Teacher Nakamura, everyone in the same class Not to mention the milk tea from the typhoon shelter Ganligan and the chestnuts, even the beaten seats like Qingshan Changhuo look very cute.But as for the seven teeth—he forgot.

However, Namikaze Minato's speed is too fast, my Tianling Gaier is about to be run away, and he still doesn't seem to have reached the limit.I understand the reason, but why is he so fast - I stretched out my hand to grab his clothes and drag him down.

But Namikaze Minato stretched out his hand to me as if he sensed my thoughts, and I grabbed his paw by mistake.

Then my head was about to fly off.

I really want to scold him for dragging me to run at such a speed that I feel uneasy and take jujube pills with good intentions, but when he drags me to run, there is whining wind in my ears and mouth, and I can’t speak at all—but to be honest, I don’t feel so good Bad, even happy.The warm sun shone down on the leaves.

When I arrived at the mountain gate, I was almost out of breath, my face was red and hot because of the strenuous exercise, and I couldn't stop panting while holding on to the pillar.Namikaze Minato looked at me with a smile that wasn't half apologetic, and patted me on the back.

"I didn't expect you to be so unable to run." His voice was tainted.

I leaned against the pillar and sat down with a grunt, and unconvincedly found a step for myself: "I have blisters on my feet."

Then I stood up without waiting for him to break the stage, and said to him: "Let's go, let's go up the mountain, and I'll treat you to some wagashi. Grandma Mito said yesterday to make wagashi. I don't know if I made it today... If not If we do, we can make trouble."

Namikaze Minato chuckled: "Okay, if I get hit by a broom, you can't leave me and run for your life."

I thought to myself how could I leave you behind, no one can catch up with you running so fast, but I was very happy in my heart - so I nodded proudly and said: "Okay, no problem."

I stretched my muscles and took him up the mountain.The roses and jasmines on both sides of the mountain road are in full bloom.

Namikaze Minato said suddenly, "I saw you here last time."

I scratched my head shyly, and said in a low voice, "I also remember, the last time I had a hair here—— I went crazy."

"That's not what I mean, I mean that I didn't help you that time..." Namikaze Minato said, "Although I know you are very strong and your heart is also very strong."

"It's okay, but I do remember being particularly wronged that day." I was relieved, and said with a smile, "The little bracelet I just bought was trampled, and I lost a shoe...but it's all right now! But then I beat up that leading brat, and whoever messed with me must end up with something."

Namikaze Minato smiled: "—Why are there so many flowers here? Last time I remembered that the cherry blossoms were blooming very well. I didn't expect there to be roses."

"It's not a rose, it's a rose—there's a difference, and the rose is easy to grow." I explained seriously: "Grandma Mito likes flowers, and the first Hokage-sama planted enough flowers for her to bloom all year round on this road. Trees—if you go inside the house, you'll find more."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "What a romantic couple."

I thought about it, and decided to break his imagination of the story: "Well, the first generation is a wooden escape ninja, and I heard that it will fall right away."

Namikaze Minato: "..."

But although there are many flowers and plants in the house, there were more when the first generation was alive.Many unacceptable flowers rely on the Chakra of the first generation of Hokage to grow on the leaves. Grandma Mito once said that when her husband died, the flowers in the yard fell all over the yard, and the grass leaves were withered and yellow, showing a withered color.

He and I quickened our pace, and the Thousand Hands Mansion located on the mountainside revealed its entrance among the leaves.

I knocked on the door, pushed it open and walked in, with Namikaze Minato following me.In the front hall sat Tsunade, a black-haired man with a flower on his face, his handsome uncle Sakumo Hatake, the third generation, and Grandma Mito leaning on the cushions holding a small sleeve furnace.

What a luxurious lineup!A little flustered, Namikaze Minato delivered it with a fruit basket as if her boyfriend came to see her parents... What the hell is this description!I shook my head desperately.

Namikaze Minato: "Sir III, your fruit basket."

The third generation laughed and said: "Look at my memory, Mito mother-in-law, this was originally prepared for you."

Grandma Mito also smiled and greeted me to sit down with Minato.I have a feeling of being a man with my tail between so many heavyweights, but it feels like this guy Namikaze Minato is strangely comfortable.

I sat on the cushion, and then felt——the atmosphere was very dignified, several heavyweight figures didn't say a word, the atmosphere was frozen, Xiao Transparent was at a loss.

The thoughts in my head have been filled to the point that last night, did Yunin feed me the balls that melted my chakra? I can't be a ninja now. They came to comfort me, and they might even take it from me. The extent to which my forehead protector was taken away... But I don't have any memory of this period at all, okay!

Grandma Mito spoke first: "Qina, do you know what Yunin who tried to kidnap you last night is going to do?"

I stroked the blue and white cup and said honestly, "I guessed it."

Namikaze Minato asked with concern: "Do I need to avoid it?"

The third generation shook his head and said: "You rescued her, you have the right to know the details about this matter. But I hope you keep it a secret from everyone - if you can't do it, don't listen."

Namikaze Minato nodded, looking in my direction with warm blue eyes.

"——They want to arrest me to become Jinchuriki of Eight Tails." I paused, "Because of my own physique."

Namakaze Minato opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes. Our Uzumaki family is not only good at sealing techniques, but also has special chakra, which can suppress tailed beasts very well." Grandma Mito said, "This is why I sealed the nine tails on myself in the battle of the Valley of the End. , and was able to suppress it for 50 years.”

I suddenly felt my heart beat faster, and the blood vessels pounded my eardrum.

Grandma Mito said: "——I met your mother when you were young, and there was a ninja named Aoki. I told them that you are very talented and have a chakra that is huge enough to suppress Kyuubi. Wait until you go to school. Let them send you to Konoha when you are young, let us teach you, and then wait until I am about to die..."

I accepted the next sentence dumbly: "—I will be the next container for Nine Tails."

The author has something to say: Hurry up!Finally finished it before twelve o'clock! ...But I'm so awesome, I want to applaud myself
