[Naruto] Lord of a Nation

Chapter 20Cold War

"Master Qizhi!"

"—Master Kishi!"

The maids kept shouting on the way from Da'ao to Zhong'ao.

Ichihara, who was dealing with official duties, frowned, and let the guy behind him jump on his back, then he wrapped his long arms around him, hugged him to his side and sat down.

"Why did you come to see me at this time today?"

His younger brother, Ise Kishi said with a lively smile, "My lord, I have one thing to ask you!" He clasped his hands together in a "please" gesture.

As the younger brother got older, he acted like a baby to himself less and less.In order to enjoy his younger brother's sweet acting like a baby, Kazuhara asked unmoved: "Let's talk about it first."

"I heard that this year's Chunin exam will be held in Konoha, I want to go to Konoha to see it!" The younger brother looked at him expectantly.

Chunin exam...

Thinking of something, Kazuhara's eyes dimmed, and he was about to refuse, but thinking about how he had already been to Konoha when he was ten years old, it's no wonder his younger brother was thinking about it.

If his younger brother will inherit his seat in the future, then it is indeed a good opportunity to get in touch with the future Hokage at this time.

Considering this, Kazuhara hesitated.

"Please, brother!" The younger brother begged unrelentingly.

Kazuhara secretly planned in his heart, "It's not impossible, but we must make an appointment first. First, you must never leave the person who protects you; second, don't get close to the person who makes you feel dangerous; finally... Let go of your identity, and simply take a look at the lives of those ninjas as Ise Kishi."

Qizhi didn't expect his brother to agree so easily, he nodded immediately after listening to the three conditions, as if he was afraid that Kazuhara would regret it, "I will definitely do it well, don't worry, brother."

Ichihara rubbed his head with one hand, grabbed his own necklace with the other hand, hesitated for a while but did not give the necklace that Obito had used defensive ninjutsu to his younger brother.

——If Obito finds out, he will definitely be angry again.

Remembering how much Obito attaches importance to his safety, Kazuhara gave up this thought.

But in order to protect Qizhi, he still took out a lot of scrolls with ninjutsu sealed.Anyway, Qizhi also intends to enter Konoha pretending to be a ninja team like he did back then.

After arranging everything, seeing his younger brother happily setting off towards Konoha, Ichihara couldn't help recalling the past.

"Obito, why don't I take this opportunity and go to Konoha to have a look." He said to Obito who has been following behind him secretly for some reason recently.

"No!" Obito immediately refused.As the big boss of the Akatsuki organization, he has already known about Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan, and he would never allow Kazuhara to risk himself anyway, "If you want to go, I will accompany you there in a few months."

Kazuhara smiled nonchalantly, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Obito swallowed the heart he held in his stomach, but it was a pity that he had been in close contact for a long time and apparently made him forget how he was when he was arbitrarily arbitrary.However, he, who has always been responsive to Yi Yuan, may not have realized that Yi Yuan still has the character of willfulness inherited from the family.

A few days later, when Obito left for a few days to deal with Akatsuki's affairs, Ichihara skipped work again.

Kazuhara: I'm so happy to skip work.

Ichihara, who ran to Konoha with his guardian ninja, could have imagined how angry Obito would be, but Obito is very easy to coax, and he won't be angry if he subdues him.

With the help of natural power, Yiyuan integrated his aura with the environment, and secretly observed the relationship between his younger brother and the seventh class.

It's a pity that when he sees Naruto and Sasuke now, he doesn't feel the excitement when he saw the anime male god, but only the comfort and love when he sees his eldest nephew and second nephew living in harmony.

"!" Naruto suddenly raised his head.

Sasuke immediately became alert, "What's wrong?"

"It seems that someone is watching us, I'll ask Ku Lama." Naruto was not sure, he scratched his head, and asked Jiuwei in the spiritual world, "Ku Lama, do you feel someone?"

The identity of Naruto Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was originally a secret, but he accidentally exploded his tail during a mission in the land of waves, so there is nothing to hide.

Kyuubi closed his eyes and lay down as if planning to sleep, "The old man didn't feel anything."

——The feeling just now...could it be that guy?

"Oh, that's probably because I was thinking too much." Naruto returned the result of the conversation with Kyuubi to Sasuke.

Thinking of Orochimaru in the second exam, Sasuke was still a little uneasy, and patrolled for a week with the Sharingan that evolved into Sangoudama in the Nami Country mission, but he really didn't find anything.

But in fact, Ichihara had already left just now, and what Naruto noticed was just the aura he accidentally released when he left.

This time, it turned out that Konoha did not inform Hokage. If too many guards were mobilized to him at this juncture, it would be a bright target. Even his younger brother lived in Nara's house as Mrs. Nara's nephew. That's all.

He dressed up as an aristocratic ninja, relying on the tokens enough to prove his identity and the rhetoric of "finding the way for the noble lord before the third exam." He successfully entered Konoha with the guardian ninja.

It was summer, and the ninja's tight black clothes made him feel uncomfortable in the kimono. In addition, they arrived in Konoha only in the afternoon, and he was already sweating a lot after driving for half a day.

After seeing his eldest nephew and second nephew in this life, Yiyuan returned to the hotel, intending to take a hot bath and enjoy a few days to let his brain shut down.

He closed his eyes and felt the warm water from the shower, but he didn't notice the shimmering necklace around his neck.

In the hotel bathroom with limited space, a man in black robe suddenly appeared.

After dealing with the affairs of Akatsuki's organization, Obito returned to the Daming Mansion, but found that the person working at the desk was not the person he was thinking of. Suddenly, he understood where Ichihara was going.

When I thought of Konoha, who was in crisis, Ichihara brought those incompetent guardian ninjas with me, and I couldn't help feeling panic.

In order to rush to his side as soon as possible, he activated the space coordinates that he had left in the necklace before.

That's why he appeared in the bathroom out of thin air.

When Obito, who was both angry and frightened, saw the scene in front of him clearly, his brain suddenly froze.

Although Yiyuan expected that he would rush over soon, he did not expect to meet in this situation.

Obito's body just blocked the only way from the shower to the dry area, which made Kazuhara give up the idea of ​​going out first.

The unattended shower drenched Obito into a drenched chicken, and the fried hair that was cut short after Kazuhara's persuasion was finally subdued, unexpectedly a bit mature.

The sound of water was still splashing, but neither of the two spoke.

It wasn't until the water flowed into Obito's Sharingan that Kazuhara reached out his hand to turn off the shower in disbelief, and took off the mask for him to wipe away the water stains around his eyes.

Eyes are very important to every Uchiha.

Obito, who always loves his eyes, let Kazuhara's hands brush the corners of his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you not to come? The Chunin exam is too chaotic." Obito, who was originally aggressive, lost his momentum as soon as he opened his mouth.

"But I want to come." Kazuhara met his eyes.

"Next year is also possible, and there is no rush."

"But I want to come." Ichihara still said.

Obito was silent for a moment, and finally let go: "At least let me protect you...don't leave without me knowing."

Although somewhere in his heart was rejoicing at Obito's words, at the same time, Kazuhara also clearly realized that this was an almost pathological desire to protect.

"What if... I don't need your protection?" In the small space, his voice was extremely clear.

Obito stared at him with wide eyes, and the next moment, the scarlet kaleidoscope was spinning, and Kazuhara was pinned to the wall with his hands.

"I won't allow...I won't allow you to receive any harm."

However, Yiyuan only felt sadness. He saw his lover in the previous life and best friend in this life turned into a self-confined beast.

The impact of Lin's death on him will always be greater than what he imagined.

Kazuhara lowered his eyes, and after adjusting his mentality, he hugged Obito directly.

He put Obito's head on his shoulder and whispered, "Did you hear that? That's my heartbeat. I'm still alive, and I'm alive, so don't think of me as Lin anymore."

"No..." I never regarded you as Lin.

Perhaps Ichihara also understood what he meant, or felt that the current atmosphere was not suitable, so he let go of his hand anyway.

"Excuse me, I'll get a towel."

"Ah? Oh." From dazed to suddenly enlightened, Obito gave way in a trance.

After drying his body, Ichihara put on a new set of ninja attire. The close-fitting clothing made him look slim and long-legged. His long black hair was tied into a ponytail with a headband. The capable attire matched his aristocratic atmosphere over the years. A different style.

Obito originally thought that the dispute between them was over the moment they walked out of the bathroom, he thought that Kazuhara would acquiesce in his following and protection as before.

But he was wrong.

The moment he walked out of the bathroom did not mean the end of the dispute, but the beginning of a cold war in Kazuhara.

Yes, this is a one-sided cold war initiated by Ichihara.

Obito's desire to control and protect is completely over the top, he hopes that Obito can take this opportunity to calm down.

Relying on his keen perception, Kazuhara threw off Obito's followers several times, and stopped sharing delicious food, beautiful scenery and good mood with him.Although the defense necklace with space coordinates is still worn, the meaning of refusal is beyond words.

In a way, Obito, already spoiled by Ichihara's pampering, couldn't accept the rejection.

He was in distress.

At this time, he didn't even have the mind to pay attention to the movement of Dashewan, his mind was completely focused on one person.

Unlike the previous sense of alienation, this is the first time Ichihara has shown obvious rejection.

Obito clumsily tried to coax him back.

Yile ramen, spicy curry rice, hot pot, and even invite Ichihara to see the Valley of the End, all of which were rejected.

Only then did Obito realize that it was Kazuhara who tolerated him all along, his evasion, his inferiority complex, and his desire for monopoly.And he always seems to be the one asking.

He was longing for Yi Yuan's eyes, longing for that inexplicable feeling.

night.

This is when Kazuhara couldn't avoid him.

The moment Kazuhara came out of the bathroom in baggy pajamas, Obito hugged him.

Just like before, Obito also said, "Did you feel it? Obito Uchiha... is still alive." His voice was very soft, and it was too much for him to admit that Obito Uchiha was still alive. difficult.

That means that his childhood dreams were completely shattered, that he could not escape what he did to Konoha and his teacher, and that he lost his last turtle shell.

"So, don't treat me like a ghost, beat me, scold me, don't be patient for my bastard behavior, and don't ignore my existence. You are my... only friend."

Ichihara closed his eyes, he really felt Obito's beating heart violently.

"Well... I really want to hit you all the time, since you said so, I'm not polite."

"Eh?!"

The author has something to say: I agreed to write the plot, and the chapters listed all the plots, but as I wrote it, it turned into an emotional drama... The emotional drama was unexpectedly smooth (really fragrant).

I decided to let myself go. It was originally a text with a word count, and it was too tiring to always mess with logic and settings.The ending of [-] characters is a little bit hanging, but it should not be much worse.

[small theater]

Ichihara (angry): Let alone blocking me in the shower, even blocking me after taking a shower?Can't you speak well?

Obito: Probably because...the scenery is better.
