[Naruto] Lord of a Nation

Chapter 18 begins

"Senior Itachi, good morning!" The energetic young man with short wine red hair raised a bright smile and waved to Itachi from afar.

Itachi nodded slightly, "Good morning, Uzumaki."

The red-haired boy clapped his hands with Itachi, jumped off and left the roof, "Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Itachi, I'll catch up on sleep first." Sayings like "I'm so sleepy, so sleepy".

Standing on the porch, Itachi looked at the sky, listened to the movement in the house, and was about to go in to wake up the people in the house when he heard some movement in the house.

"Is it Itachi-kun here?" Kazuhara pressed his temples and sat up on the quilt, "I worked a little late last night, please, Itachi-kun, tell Hase-kun for me, let him call for me later Come to the town to pursue (position), I have some ideas about yesterday's case."

"Yes." Itachi agreed, separated out | body, the main body is still here, and the body is looking for someone according to Yi Yuan's words.

Today's Uchiha Itachi is not yet seventeen years old, but at the age of 13, he has become the Guardian Ninja Twelve of the Fire Country daimyo.The system of guardian ninja has been changed to a certain extent after Ichihara succeeded to the throne. As a private independent direct unit of the daimyo, their work content is often similar to that of Hokage's Anbe, but compared to Anbe, they can go to the Under the sun, enjoying the privileges brought by the identity of guardian ninja.

When Ichihara doesn't go out for any activities, he will be accompanied by two or three guardian ninjas to protect him.Therefore, normally, each guardian ninja only needs to work for one quarter a year, and the rest of the time is free to spend unless summoned by a daimyo.

High salary, high status, plenty of time off, not to mention being a daimyo's confidant, this is definitely a good job.

Over the years, the Uchiha clan has been developing well. They have won the trust of the Fourth Hokage, and a group headed by Uchiha Shisui has entered Anbu and Genbu one after another.Although they also paid some price to win these, but everything is worth it.

As the son of the patriarch, Itachi is also a young and famous genius. Everyone expected that he would enter Anbu, but who knows that Danzo, who has always been displeased with Uchiha, stopped him in every possible way, and united with other families who are not used to Uchiha becoming bigger. Objection, let Uchiha be crowned with a malicious hat if he is even slightly invincible.

Considering Shisui's current position in the root, Fu Yue is really worried that sending Itachi to Anbu will give people a feeling of ulterior motives.Their Uchiha has developed so well in recent years that he is worried that his steps will be too big-ahem.

The conscience of heaven and earth, their Uchiha absolutely has no idea of ​​a coup d'état.

But it was too slow to let Itachi take some ordinary tasks to gain experience and increase reputation. Fuyue was so worried that he lost a few hairs.

At this moment, in order to prepare Sasuke for school, Mikoto dug out the token that Itachi had received, and the father and son suddenly thought about it.

Indeed, taking the initiative to enter Anbu seems that their Uchiha ambitions are too great, but itachi can be the guardian ninja. This was invited by the daimyo himself 13 years ago, and the tokens are all there. Who dares to say no?

Danzang really forgot about this, and his liver hurts when he learned about it.

"They are all very old, what do they want to do so much." Sandai said leisurely, smoking a pipe, "Mizumon boy has a sense of propriety, haven't you seen Uchiha's performance over the years?"

"Hey, how tired of the two of them are they? I think Hokage may have fallen into some kind of illusion."

Sandai shook his head, "Isn't Naruto and Sasuke getting closer, you underestimate Minato."

"That's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, how could he get so close to Uchiha! It's clear that Uchiha has ulterior motives."

The third generation chuckled, "It's time for you to retire too. You don't feel too tired to panic because you think about all these things all day long."

But in fact, they all know that Danzo cannot easily let go of the power in his hands, and the three generations who have retired over the years have joined the elders just to check and balance him.

No matter what, the 13-year-old Uchiha Itachi has successfully become the guardian ninja of the daimyo. The triangular scarf with the character of fire is wrapped around his wrist, which does not affect his activities at all.

From the age of 13 to 16, Uchiha Itachi was completely familiar with life in Daming Prefecture.He knew that their daimyo would evacuate the guardian ninja who was on duty one day every month, and he also knew that the red-haired boy who was two years younger than him was actually a survivor of Uzushio Village.

His life here is very good, even better than expected in Anbu.

He clearly started working as soon as he got up, and it was after ten o'clock that Kazuhara finally settled the matters left over from yesterday. When he looked up, he saw Itachi knocking on the door with a tray containing meals.

Xiao Xing must have asked him to do it again, and Kazuhara was very cooperative to finish the matter at hand, "I'm troublesome again, Itachi-kun."

He looked at the scenery in the courtyard, and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, is it almost time for Naruto Sasuke and the others to graduate?"

Itachi naturally remembered the day when his younger brother graduated, "Yes, there is still a week left."

"That's just right, Itachi-kun can go back in time." Ichihara nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's been so many years in a flash, I remember that Itachi-kun was just born when I arrived in Konoha."

"Yes, my mother mentioned this matter, and I am very grateful to Ichihara-sama for his help at that time," Itachi replied calmly.

"At that time, I can't help anything." Ichihara put his hands together, prayed and started.

After the meal, Itachi came forward to clean up the dishes, and Kazuhara said to him: "Since it will be Sasuke's graduation ceremony soon, you should prepare a gift when you are resting tomorrow. I have already said about Hase-kun and Uzumaki-kun." .”

Itachi, who had expected it for a long time, did not show any surprise, because tomorrow is the day when the daimyo withdraws the guardian ninja every month to be alone.

Itachi is not a person with strong curiosity. Since he didn't ask when he first came here, he won't ask now either.What's more, he was meticulous and had already guessed who the daimyo might be meeting one day.

When Itachi was on duty diligently, Uzumaki, who said he was going to rest after changing shifts with him in the morning, quietly came to a sparsely populated place in Tianzhi Country.

Konoha Rebellious Ninja Orochimaru stood there with a few of his men, waiting for his arrival.

As soon as he saw the eye-catching red hair, Orochimaru laughed sinisterly.

Wei Wei ignored his malicious expression and asked directly: "It seems that you agree to my conditions."

"Of course, after all, he has already produced such a tempting blood, hasn't he?"

Uzumaki changed his previous lively expression in Daming Mansion, and said blankly: "Then the deal is concluded, I hope you can abide by the agreement." He threw out two tubes of blood with sealing spells drawn on them.

"The red plug is your task, the black plug is the reward, don't do unnecessary things."

Hearing what he said, Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue to lick his lips, "Whose blood is so wonderful?" Saying this intentionally, Orochimaru observed the reaction of the person in front of him.

The whirlpool just frowned, and once again warned him not to do unnecessary things.

Orochimaru laughed again, and after Uzumaki left, he said slowly: "Daimyo and Guardian Ninja, it's really interesting... I can't wait." He looked at the two tubes of blood in his hand, thinking of the last test report, The golden snake pupils are full of eagerness to try.

Orochimaru is a very pure mad scientist to some extent, as long as there is enough bait, he can easily arouse his interest.Knowing this well, Kazuhara gave some blood to the other party. The amount of blood was very small, almost enough for Orochimaru to do a few tests, but as soon as he saw those extraordinary data, Orochimaru was already hooked.

After midnight, a figure appeared in Kazuhara's bedroom very punctually.

Although the surroundings were pitch black, Ichihara's perception was not just for show. He sighed when he was about to fall asleep, sat up, and said to Obito on the beam, "Why are you getting earlier and earlier recently?"

Obito said softly: "I just finished a task, so I stopped by. You can rest, I will find a place to squat for a while."

Obito was earlier this time, acting like a kid who arrived at the date ahead of time, unless Kazuhara was really a fool, otherwise it was impossible to believe what he said anyway.

Ichihara really doubted whether Obito liked him, and his quiet heart beat violently several times because of this speculation, but when he thought of the straight male relationship of "we are Apocalypse/comrades/brothers/friends" in Hokage, he I dare not act rashly.

He also tried Obito several times, but the results he got were ambiguous, just like the common fetters in Hokage, so he stopped thinking about it and avoided all intimate words and deeds as much as possible.

After all, this life is different from the past, he dare not be easily emotional.

It doesn't matter if he is shy or timid, but he really doesn't want to reap the words "we are best friends" after giving all his feelings.

Since we are friends, let's be good friends.

As everyone knows, Obito is also timidly shrinking, and the words of confession have come to his lips several times, but he is forced back by Kazuhara's occasional indifference and alienation.

At least as a friend, I can get along with Yiyuan more. If everything is said, they may be regarded as strange people and alienated.

Obito who thinks like this often talks about "friends" to cover up every action he makes due to throbbing.

But many times, he really couldn't hide it.

Just like now, he knows that it is meaningless at this point in time, and he knows that his actions are extremely strange in Yiyuan's eyes, but he just wants to see him sooner, even if he only sees him through the faint moonlight. It's also good to look at the other party's sleeping face.

Kazuhara fell asleep obediently, and his sleeping posture was so peaceful that Obito often felt a kind of fear, and would always stretch out his fingers to test his breath.

There is no doubt that Kazuhara was actually pretending to be asleep.

Ichihara felt his fear from Obito's movements. He found that Obito had never gotten out of the shadow of Lin's death, so he was very nervous about his safety.

He expected it well, but he neglected one thing—no matter what the reason was, he was the only one who really worried Obito.Even Kakashi wouldn't let him miss it so much, care so much, care so much.

Talking about going to rest and going to sleep, the two of them stayed awake all night by coincidence, and only pretended to wake up when the morning light was twilight, and they still had a decent look on their faces.

"Morning, bring soil."

"morning."

It was indeed very early, and the always prosperous Sanchong City was still asleep, but the two of them were already full of energy, as if they had slept until the sun was rising.

For more than ten years, they have been getting along in this weird way, but they are cautious not to take a step beyond the thunder.

Even Ichihara's courtiers suspected that he had a private meeting with a certain low-status woman every month, and hinted many times that if Daimyo really liked it, they would also accept a lady from a humble background, as long as Daimyo Get married early.

In this era, the 27-year-old Yiyuan is an older unmarried young man in ordinary families, let alone a famous family with a small population.

"My lord, please see me, my lord." Hour outside the door announced softly.

Yi Yuan frowned, he had already announced that today was his holiday, and he didn't see anyone. Lao Zhong (position) was an old minister by his side, how could he not even know this.Even if there is something urgent, it should not be reported by Lao Zhong.

He rejected the old middleman's request for an interview, but it didn't take long before he heard the other party's old voice shouting eagerly and loudly outside the hall: "Women who came to the appointment in the house, whether you are the goddess of Gao Tianyuan or the wanderer on the street Girl, if you really love our daimyo, please stay here for a long time, stay in this triple city, stay in this daimyo mansion, and stay by Lord Ichihara's side."

Facing the sincere marriage urging from the old middle-aged man, Yi Yuan choked speechlessly, regretted not going out today, opened the paper door and whispered a few words to Xiao Xing, asking Xiao Xing to send a message to send the old middle-aged man away.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Obito looking at him with an unclear expression, and asked, "Goddess and wandering girl?"

Yiyuan had no choice but to explain: "Don't worry about popular dialects outside."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. I don’t know when, the “touching love story of a noble man and a mysterious woman once a month” has spread outside the palace. Even if he didn’t name the name, Ichihara still knows who the prototype of the story is. .

What's even more exasperating is that even Jiraiya's "Intimate Paradise" actually wrote a story about one meeting in January. It really follows the hot spots and the market sensitivity is extremely high.

Obito pretended not to care, and asked in a teasing tone: "Then daimyo-sama, would you like me to stay for a long time?"

If it was before, they would have rubbed the goosebumps on their arms and made them into a ball, but now Yiyuan didn't respond, and just replied: "Stop making trouble, Obitu."

The arc of Obito's mouth gradually collapsed, and he replied bitterly: "Stop making trouble, I'm just curious about what was written in those scripts, it sounds interesting."

"Basically, you are written as a girl who has a poor background and a shameful appearance, but has to part with me due to various reasons."

Unexpectedly, the imagination of the people was so amazing, Obito was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What about you?"

Yiyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "They are almost the same, the infatuated and weak man who swears that you will not marry."

Always felt that things were not that simple, and Obito, who was trying to find solace, quietly ran to the city to buy a popular story book while Ichihara was eating, and quickly flipped through it with Sharingan (?).

The setting of the male and female protagonists is indeed almost the same as what Ichihara said.However, in order to increase the ups and downs, the book also describes a black-haired boy who was favored by the nobles when he was young. When he grew up, he guarded the nobles every step of the way. In the end, the goddess left forever, and he was able to accompany the seriously ill nobleman, and finally waited until the nobleman changed his mind.

Because of Ichihara's rhetoric, Obito shamelessly assumed the role of the goddess, happily waiting for the goddess and the nobles to have a happy ending, but Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, and Obito felt inexplicably green on his head.

He stared at the prototype of a black-haired boy who was buying gifts for his younger brother on the street, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Kazuhara treated him too well on weekdays, could it be...

Suddenly feeling cold, Itachi suddenly raised his head and looked in a direction with his Sharingan, but there was no one there, as if everything was just his illusion.

Seeing that Obito went out for a trip and then came back angrily, Ichihara glanced at the title of the book in his hand, thinking that Obito was disgusted by the description of him in it, and said amusedly: "It's just a storybook, why bother?" .”

But the story of the hero and heroine meeting once a month is based on reality, so is the matter of the black-haired boy also...

Obito really wanted to ask Kazuhara what he thought about Itachi, but he felt that he didn't have such a position, so he could only ask eccentrically, "Are you very optimistic about Itachi Uchiha?"

Itachi is one of the most amazing and talented Uchiha geniuses of this generation. Ichihara thought that Obito wanted to use this to talk about Uchiha topics, or wanted to reminisce about the past, so he answered truthfully, "Itachi-kun is indeed very good. If With Itachi-kun as Uchiha’s patriarch, Konoha must be able to develop better with Uchiha’s whole-hearted help.” But this has disadvantages and advantages for the Fire Nation, so Ichihara gave Itachi a guardianship early on. Ninja label.

Obito, who received the reply from the person concerned, felt even more uncomfortable. Even if he knew that it was just nonsense, he couldn't help being suspicious.

After all, his half body is so distorted, no matter in appearance, talent or talent, he is far inferior to Uchiha Itachi.Moreover, the sum of the time I spent with Ichihara on and off for so many years is no longer than the time Uchiha Itachi guarded Ichihara.

The more he wanted Obito, the more irritable he became, but in order not to see disappointment and fear in Ichihara's eyes, he couldn't do anything.

Every minute and every second with Ichihara is both suffering and joy for Obito.Originally, Ichihara never mentioned the matter of marriage, and every time he met, he could watch Obito wholeheartedly, and he was still able to suppress his emotions.But now, Obito suddenly realizes that even for a whole day, this kind of gaze is too short.

They spent too little time together, and before he knew it, maybe someone else got the same attention as him—like that "Night See" that he couldn't find out anyway, and more and more, Outstanding talents who are getting younger and younger, after all, there will not be only one "friend".

As long as he thought of this, Obito felt that he couldn't bear it for a second.

He accelerated the Eye of the Moon project and couldn't wait to build a perfect world.

And itachi, who was murdered by Obito very innocently, gave up his original plan to return to Konoha in advance. He was worried that the mysterious person came for the daimyo, so he guarded Ichihara for a week, and then made the secret rustic After a meal, it was not until the last day that I hurried back.

As soon as the travel-worn Itachi entered the village, he was told that the Fourth Hokage was looking for him, so he turned around and went directly to the Hokage Building.

As soon as he entered, Itachi saw a gathering of digital jonin, the third and fourth generations sitting side by side.

Thinking that something serious had happened, Itachi stepped forward with a serious face.

"Itachi came back just in time, Naruto's graduation ceremony is about to begin." Minato greeted.

"Yes."

Itachi breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward as he said, and looked at the crystal ball that had been casted by three generations with everyone.

Then, everyone witnessed the scene where the son of the Hokage family kissed the young master of the Uchiha family.

Minato was immediately petrified, with a froze smile on his face, Sandai kept the camera on the two of them with great interest, and even raised his eyes to see Itachi's reaction.

Itachi's expression didn't seem to change much, but the third generation would not miss the red Sharingan that appeared at that moment.

Midai smiled cheerfully, "Naruto and Sasuke really have a good relationship."

Kakashi, who already knew that Naruto and Sasuke were his disciples, sighed. Originally, he thought that Itachi would find an excuse to dump Class [-] to him after he came back, but this time it seems that it will not work.

Usually, Naruto alone is enough to make a fuss, but now we have to add Sasuke, a boy who is not easy to deal with, the teacher really values ​​him...

Kakashi suddenly regretted that he didn't run to be a guardian ninja like Asma and Itachi.

The author has something to say: It’s so annoying, a long paragraph of my writing was taken away by JJAPP.

The original story roughly said that when I revisited the last few episodes of Hokage, I was so mad at Naruto that Naruto was mad at me. What kind of relationship, but Naruto and Judy suddenly said "We are comrades/friends", and Madara didn't bother to refute and died (the original lines and demeanor tortured me to death).

I specially used words to take everyone to review these two paragraphs together, but the result is gone.

Anyway, after the battle between Kaguya and Naruto, those who are interested can review the manga or animation.
