[Hokage] Flower Time

The climate in the Land of Iron is cold, with snow all over the land.In the dim gray sky, fine and light snowflakes kept drifting, and those snowdrops fell lightly, slowly changing direction with the wind in the midair.Soft snow lay on roofs and roads, and on tall bare tree branches.The old footprints were half-hidden by the newly sprinkled snow, a little bit hidden in the deepening snow.

The fine snow fell on the top of Huashi's head and cloak, and soon a thin layer of white accumulated.She held a branch and leaf horizontally in front of her with one movable hand, squatting carefully in a bush.Her gaze was fixed on a wooden house not far away—now, Naruto Uzumaki was there.

As Jinzhuriki of the Land of Fire, Naruto can enter and leave the village at will, and the tolerance of Konoha Ninja Village surprised her.

"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must have never imagined that he would see me so soon." She twisted the blade in her hand and said in a low voice, "Obito, don't you really need me to do it? There are only two people around Nine-Tails now. It's a great opportunity..."

Obito patted her head with a palm, and said, "I just came to talk to Kyuubi about Sasuke, don't get excited."

"Do you mean to tell me not to make noise?" Hua Shi was startled, and let go of the branches and leaves in his hands.The branch bounced back, dusting off a handful of crushed snow.

"...Yes." Obito said, "We are here to chat, this time I don't want to do anything to Kyuubi."

"You beg me." Huashi glanced at the wooden house standing in the snow not far away, and said very calmly: "Do you believe that I can make your majesty instantly sweep away in front of Naruto."

With civil engineering.

"……I believe."

And in that wooden house, Uzumaki Naruto was lying on his side sullenly on the ground, turning over and over with his eyes open.There was a thoughtful look on his face, and he was very depressed.After a while, he lay on his back on the ground, staring closely at the beams of the wooden house.The falling snow outside the house fell loosely on the eaves, and the sound of snow pieces breaking and falling could be heard from the roof from time to time.

It was very quiet all around, and this kind of silence made him think more and more, and he couldn't help but think of the partner who was running counter to him.

"Sasuke... where are you now? Do you like natto?"

Naruto muttered to himself in a low voice, as if he was speaking to himself, but also as if he was asking Sasuke.However, apart from the sound of falling snow, there was no other echo.He turned his body sideways again, and put the back of his hand under his cheek. His short blond hair was no longer as fluffy as it used to be, and fell limply.

He slowly closed his blue eyes, but there was no sign of relaxation in his frown.Just as he closed his eyes and fell asleep, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Naruto, revealing a loose and leisurely voice.

"Let's talk... Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto certainly recognized this deep voice.When he was only one step away from Sasuke, it was this masked man who blocked his way, so that he returned to Konoha Village with nothing.

In an instant, Naruto stood up and attacked at an extremely fast speed.His spiral pill was very fast, the light blue ball of light pierced through the wooden wall in an instant, digging a huge hole in the roof and wall.A cloud of wood dust kicked up by his attack briefly obscured Naruto's vision, preventing him from seeing the scene in front of him clearly.

"Your attack has no effect on me."

The smoke and dust dispersed slowly, and a person wearing a mask and a red cloud robe with a black background was standing on the roof intact.His clothes were neat as before, and his voice was very loose. Naruto's destructive attack did not bring him any harm.

Not only is it intact, but there seems to be something more.

A pudgy crow didn't care about Madara's image at all, sat down on top of Madara's head, moved its fat belly in satisfaction, and then stared down at Naruto with contemptuous eyes.

A fathomless blotch, and a fat, chirping black bird.

Naruto's vigilance has not diminished, and he also wants to maintain his vigilant appearance.However, facing the very haughty crow... the corners of his mouth twitched.

The bird's expression looked too contemptuous.

Naruto couldn't help but think of Sasuke - obviously there is no connection between the two.

There were several loud bangs from the roof, and several wooden strips broke through the ground, binding Madara's bundle in an instant.At the same time, a row of wooden fences rose in front of Naruto, blocking him in.

"Naruto, you stay there." Yamato squatted on the ground, staring at the enemy who had been bound by Mu Dun, and said: "This place is already under my control."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunderous sound behind Obito.Kakashi, who was wearing a green vest, stood behind Obito, his palm was shining with lightning, and he was facing Obito's vital point directly.The two moved very quickly, without giving Obito the slightest reaction time, but such a serious battle could not bring real harm to Obito.

"Don't worry, today I just want to chat with Naruto."

There was no sign of panic in Obito's tone.Even though his body was restrained by Mu Dun, he was still extremely calm, and the words in his mouth were loose and calm, as if it was really just a few ordinary people who happened to be chatting.

After Obito said this, the fat bird squatting on top of his head let out a loud cry in response.

Naruto held onto the wooden railing with one hand, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "This crow is so noisy."

Naruto's complaints fell into his ears, and the black bird uttered a more manic cry, from which Naruto seemed to vaguely feel emotions such as anger and contempt.

Kakashi's eyes froze, his hand moved down slightly, and the thunder and lightning sounded even worse.The lightning illuminated one side of his cheek and the Sharingan gifted by Obito.The fresh snow that fell fell into the house along the hole in the roof, and was melted by the warm air before it hit the ground. The thin snow on Obito's shoulder was even thicker, and the fat bird lying on top of his head had to flap Wings to shake off the snow.

"As expected of Sharingan Kakashi, he is very fast." Facing Kakashi's attack, Obito was not stingy with his praise, he paused for a while, chuckled, and said: "But you should understand, Such an attack is ineffective for me, Uchiha Madara."

After he said this contemptuous sentence, the fat bird on his head slapped him with its wings, firmly and without hesitation, causing the black hair on Obito's head to fall askew to one side.

Kakashi frowned.

——Why do you think... something is wrong with this crow?

Kakashi's premonition came true later.

This fat bird brought by Uchiha Madara is very keen on tearing down Uchiha Madara's stage.Whenever Uchiha Madara contemptuously mentions "Your attack is ineffective to me", the crow will decisively flap its wings on top of his head or in front of the mask, flaunting its might and triumphantly.

such as……

"What kind of thing... made Payne betray me." Uchiha Madara said slowly: "I'm a little interested in you, Naruto."

His words were deep, with unfathomable meaning.

However, the crow he brought didn't show any face at all. When he said "I'm a little interested in you", he rushed forward with a series of [-] beats.

Even Naruto was attracted by this maverick crow several times.

"Sasuke... tell me about Sasuke!" Naruto withdrew his gaze from staring at the crow, and shouted in the direction of Uchiha Madara: "What do you want to do to Sasuke!"

The cold snow fell on the shoulders and heads of several people, and gradually piled up on the floor exposed to the gray sky.When Naruto shouted, the breath in his mouth turned into balls of white air.

He stared at Madara's figure closely, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.He closed his eyes, and his sea-blue eyes accidentally met the fat bird squatting on top of Madara's head.

murderous look.

This bird has a murderous look!

Naruto could almost see a flickering electric spark crackling and dancing within the line of sight of him and the bird.

—what the hell is he competing with a crow!

"Okay then, I'll tell you." Obito slowly closed his Sharingan, and said, "That man's body is filled with... the hatred for the ninja world."

The crow seemed to be tired at last, and lazily lay back on top of his head, tucking its head under its wings.After a while, the wings began to flutter because of the snow.Those repeated falling snowflakes made the crow very impatient, flapped its wings and began to look for a place where it would not be disturbed by the snow.

It lingered in front of Kakashi for a while, glared at Kakashi with disdain, then flapped its wings and swept into the room, heading straight for Naruto.Yamato was very alert, and immediately laid another wooden wall in front of the wooden fence, leaving only a small hole for Naruto to expose his eyes or mouth.

Naruto's blue eyes appeared in the hole, and he blinked, then moved his face up, pointed his mouth at the hole, and shouted: "Captain Yamato—is this too much!"

Unable to find a suitable habitat, the black crow returned to Obito's side, rolled straight into Obito's collar, and very contentedly revealed a bird's head, stuck on the high collar.

Although the shape is funny, Obito is not affected at all, and still tells the story of Sasuke in a deep tone.

Fine snow drifted down from the sky, covering the whole world loosely.

"When it comes to Sasuke...you have to mention Itachi." Madara's words paused quietly at the mention of the name, and soon after, he continued: "First, let's start with the 'truth' about Itachi."

The black crow shrank into the depths of his skirt, and fell into the robe with a clatter.
