[Hokage] Flower Time

The next moment, Zhishui had already landed on the roof, with one hand on his hips, waving at her with the other: "Hua Shi, come up."

Huashi jumped for a while, but didn't jump up.

He jumped again and landed on the spot.

Flower time: ...

She tried to jump up in the usual posture, but the roof of the two-story building was a bit high, so she could only cast her eyes on the roof of another house on the side: "Brother, wait...wait for me!"

After finishing speaking, she ran to the side, passed a road with nine twists and eighteen turns, and then jumped from the shorter roof to Zhishui's side, exhaled, and said, "If it wasn't because I'm short , I will not be so slow."

"I've never heard of a ninja who can't jump on branches because he's short." Shisui took a step forward: "Grow taller when you spend time."

Shisui has long been used to the ninja's running style of jumping up and down on the roof, and his speed is much faster than it takes time.After running for a while, he will stop and wait for the time when his footsteps are much smaller.

It took Huashi a lot of effort to catch up with Zhishui, she took a breath, looked at the white air coming out of her mouth in front of her, and asked, "Brother, tell me, did you secretly use the instant body technique?"

"No." Zhishui was innocent: "It's really useless."

"Then how did you run so fast?"

"Long legs." Zhishui became more innocent.

The two stopped and ran, and finally calmed down on the way up the mountain, walking one after the other.Huashi followed behind Zhishui, like a quiet little tail, with both hands on his scarf, covering half of his face with the fluffy part, so as to resist the cold winter wind.

The road up the mountain is a bit narrow and can only accommodate two people of about the same age.On the path opposite Zhishui, a slow black figure suddenly appeared.Seeing the person coming from the opposite side, Shisui stepped aside to the right, and politely wanted to say hello: "Good afternoon, Kakashi first..."

The silver-haired boy who was walking towards him ignored him. He put his hands in his pockets, as if he didn't see anyone, he swayed down the mountain slowly.

Looking at his black back, Hua Shi couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "It's this guy again, always so annoying."

"It is said that Mr. Kakashi has always been like this." Shisui continued his footsteps: "Maybe he is more introverted."

"The guy who always wears a mask is called Kakashi... the name sounds familiar." After thinking hard for a while, Hanaji suddenly remembered something: "Ah, that's the one! Brother said, Konoha Shirato's child, Hatake Kakashi, right? Enrolled at the age of four and graduated at the age of five...that's how it is, right?"

Hearing Huashi's series of questions, Zhishui had no choice but to say "yes" twice.

Huashi and Shisui's father died during the previous war years, and the gravestone is listed in the hero's cemetery.Every death day and new day, the two of them would come to visit and clean up.Many years have passed since my father died in battle, but compared to other yellowed and old tombstones, my father's tomb is still new and complete.

After sweeping his father's tomb, Huashi really made a wish to "hope to pass the graduation test" at Sidai's side, which made Shisui feel sorry for Sidai.Others come here to commemorate the ancestors of Hokage, and no matter how bad they are, they must feel the harm caused by the war and the sacrifices of their ancestors. Only a young and carefree child like Huashi would make such an ignorant promise. worldly wishes.

Days of heavy snow turned the cemetery into a snowy white. After occasional sunshine, the snow in some places has melted, exposing a corner of the stele.Those who have come to visit wiped off the inscriptions of their loved ones and put flowers on them. Those white square tombstones with red names engraved on them stand up abruptly in the whole snow, which is very eye-catching.

"Brother, look, there are flowers over there." Before leaving, Huashi grabbed the corner of Zhishui's clothes and pointed to a place not far away: "I thought there were no flowers in the flower shop in winter. "

Zhishui took two steps forward, his eyes fell on the bunch of fluffy flowers with water droplets on the tombstone not far away, and said: "This kind of flower is called freesia. Hmm...winter Of course there will be flowers in the flower shop. Otherwise, there is no way to maintain life in the cold."

Looking at the few flowers inserted in the small wooden tube when it was blooming, my eyes moved away from the flowers blooming in all directions, and landed on the tombstone that seemed to have been scrubbed not long ago.It seems that the inscription on the tombstone is not very far away. She tried to read the name on the tombstone, and asked, "Does my brother know this person?... Nohara Lin."

"...I don't know." Zhishui said: "During the war, many people died in battle. Many of them are just children who just stepped out of school...not much older than you."

"Because so many people died in battle, even the smart brother can't remember..." Hua Shi said thoughtfully.

"No." Zhishui said: "This... Originally, my brother didn't know everything. If I had to remember when Huashi called my brother's name, or when he learned to walk, I knew everything. "

"No! Brother is the one who knows everything!" Hua Shi corrected, "I don't care!"

Zhishui was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Okay," as if coaxing an ordinary child.

The two were talking, and walked towards home along the way they came.Huashi asked many questions as he walked, as if he had been cramming and hiding in his heart for a whole year, and finally poured them all out while taking advantage of the rare vacation.Facing her series of questions, Zhishui could only answer one by one.

"nice."

"not fat."

"purchase."

"You are the cutest."

"I like flowers better than weasels."

"War is terrible. War...doesn't make people happy, no matter what."

Hearing Zhishui's last words, Huashi suddenly said with lingering fear: "That's really great."

"What's wrong?" Zhishui asked, "What's 'too good'?"

"It's great that my brother didn't participate in the war." Huashi held Zhishui's hand tightly: "Otherwise, the old me would be very worried."

The new year passed, and Huashi turned seven years old.

As the new term begins, it takes time to restart school life.Get up early every day, jump from the roof to school in a ninja way, and jump back from the roof in a ninja way after school.

The tall cherry blossom tree in the fence of the Konoha Hospital has also passed its opening time, and piles of powder clouds will fall from the branches to the ground as soon as the season is over.The dots of pink and white are like snow in winter, falling all over the nearby ground.Some tiny petals drift away with the water waves, surging and flowing into the distance.

The classmates who spend time defeating in the open space of the school can form a long line, and the avatars can always transform a few more than the classmates, and the use of the transformation technique can last longer than others.Teacher Jingmei, who used to use chalk to wake her up from her sleep kindly, also showed a kind smile on her face when talking about flower time.

"I used to be Huashi's teacher. That child was very smart since she was a child, oh hehe, really...I was her first teacher, how could I not know!" Teacher Jingmei was full of nostalgia: "It's been a long time I have never dared to sleep under my chalk head... no, I am a student of resistance."

In order to graduate early, I spent my time working hard to get a full score in this semester.After reading her ninjutsu results, she satisfactorily submitted her application for early graduation and waited for the final graduation test.Clinker, in the last week of summer term, she was informed that she would not be able to graduate early.

Reason: The student's flower arrangement aesthetics are too poor, and she failed in the girls' class.

Time to spend.

Hua Shi angrily almost tore Nara Shikao live.

Shikao Nara, who was holding his grade book in his hand, was terrified. In order to appease the angry Hanahiro, he shared his tragic experience with Hanahiro: "...my application for early graduation was also rejected."

"Why did you apply for early graduation?" Hua Shi wondered.

"That's why Ah Tui and Yuzhen really don't know how to chase girls." Lu Sheng took out this sentence again: "I don't even know what girls are thinking."

"Then do you know what I'm thinking right now?" Hua Shi stared at him.

"...want to hit me." Lu Sheng took a step back.

"It's good to know." Hua Shi crossed his arms and nodded: "Your grades are too poor, it's normal that you can't pass. After all, even I can't pass."

"Yes, yes..." Lu Sheng couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I didn't fail the flower arrangement class. No... I didn't even have such a thing as a flower arrangement class."

This year's early graduation plan failed.

Huashi was not in the mood to jump home from the roof, nor was he in the mood to go to the roadside dessert shop to eat the planned celebratory dumpling meal, and even when he saw Itachi at the gate of the clan, he was not in the mood to say hello.

When Sasuke, the little pendant following Itachi, found the dejected Hana, he grabbed Itachi's clothes corner with one hand, pointed at the flower with the other, and said, "I'm not happy when I'm flowering."

Itachi stood at the main entrance, he was already higher than the hem of the blue hanging cloth, wearing a summer black short-sleeved top and white bottoms, the skirts were neatly arranged.Sasuke stood beside his legs, wearing similar clothes, short hair blown back that was very unruly at a young age, and stared at Hanahiro with big black eyes without blinking.

Hearing Sasuke's soft voice, Huashi raised his head weakly, and saw Itachi leading Sasuke wandering around.She asked in a soft and unassuming voice: "Itachi, is being a ninja such a free thing? I see that you spend all day at home with your brother."

"Huh?" Itachi blinked and said, "That's because today's task is only D-level, and it will be fine after helping the client to clean up."

"A ninja like you is really idle." Hua Shi moved towards the door of the clan, staring at the two round fans on the blue curtain.

"Brother said," Sasuke next to Itachi added, "It's time to come back after spending time, so I have to go out for a walk."

Little Sasuke's words stunned Itachi's expression, and soon he regained the gentle and soft smile on his face, somewhat similar to Mikoto's smile.
