[Hokage] Flower Time

Huashi waited silently for a long time.

Spring flowers bloom one after another, and the colors on the hillside gradually become lively.Among the clusters of sprouting new green, there are various delicate pale pink and light red, one branch after another, like a delicate girl with new make-up.The tall cherry blossom tree in the fence of Konoha Hospital also gradually opened Kazuki's flowers.Tiny pink and white cherry blossoms are adorned on the branches, and when the wind blows, they will fall down one after another and spread all over the ground.

Flower time's birthday finally arrived.

She sat in her room, unwrapping the presents from others one by one.The pile of gift boxes beside her was as high as a hill, big and small, all carefully packed.

"Young genius poet Hoshino's collection of works! You are absolutely not allowed to miss the poetry genius of the country of fire! The poetry of the ninja world, the ninja of the poetry world! This magazine's exclusive interview... A peerless love song created for unrequited love girls in school days ..."

The corner of Huashi's mouth twitched, and he put aside the poetry collection in his hand.

——I didn't expect that there would be a day when Tei Hoshino would publish a collection of poems... It seems that he is more suitable to be a poet than a ninja.

The next thing to unwrap is Sasuke's present...

Sure enough, it was a small dinosaur.

Hua Shi pinched the limp legs of the little dinosaur, and angrily stuffed the little dinosaur into the bottom of the closet.

After unpacking a few more gift boxes, she found that someone had given away a shiny handle of kunai, without a box, just a sticky note on the kunai handle.

"Sweeping the tombstone in return. Happy birthday."

The inscription is Hatake Kakashi.

After looking at it for a while, Huashi couldn't help covering her head.

——She went to clean the tombstone to repay Kakashi's gift, but Kakashi sent something over again. In this way, you give it to me, and I will repay you. It's endless... But, this is what he gave to himself A birthday gift, shouldn't there be a return gift?

After unwrapping the presents, the sky gradually dimmed.Soon, her birthday will be over.The dinner prepared on the table was already cold, but there was no sound of Shishui's footsteps in the direction of the door.

Hua Shi finished sorting out the gifts she had received, and sat in the entrance hall, resting her chin on her hands, resting her elbows on her knees, and waited quietly.It wasn't until midnight was approaching that she had gradually fallen into a drowsy sleep leaning against the wall, that Zhishui pushed open the door of the house.

"sorry, I……"

Wearing a forehead protector and mission attire, Shishui stood at the door, looking at Hua who was leaning against the wall and fell asleep, the words he wanted to speak were momentarily choked in his throat.Under the dim light, he quietly stepped over Hua Shi's body, and silently took off his shoes.

Even though he tried his best to slow down his movements, his noise still woke Hua Shi up.

It was very uncomfortable to spend time sleeping because I was leaning against the wall all the time.She half-opened her eyes dimly, saw Zhishui beside her, and said in a low voice, "Brother, you're back. Now, my birthday hasn't passed yet. There's still time."

"Sorry." Zhishui picked up the plastic bag in his hand and said, "It's too late to come back, the sweets shops on the street are closed, only the toy shop is still open, so I had to buy this for you."

Huashi worked hard to widen his sleepy eyes, saw the gift in Zhishui's hand clearly, and murmured: "I hate little dinosaurs the most..."

"...Sorry." Zhishui apologized again, he put down the plastic bag in his hand, hugged Huashi, and said, "Let's sleep with my brother today."

Huashi lay in Zhishui's arms, put her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes sleepily.After Zhishui walked a few steps, her vague and low words suddenly came to her ears.

"On my graduation day, my brother didn't come. My birthday, my brother didn't come either. Then I will become a Zhongren, a Junin, I'm going to get married, or one day... I'm going to die, and my brother won't come either. ?"

Her words made Zhishui's footsteps involuntarily froze.

"What is the child thinking about?" Zhishui patted her on the back and said, "You are still a child, how could you think of something so far away as 'death'? Brother will not let that happen."

"However, the fourth generation was still very young when he went to his parents' side." Hanaji said: "When Kakashi's companion died, he was only my age."

"...that kind of thing won't happen." Shisui said: "Go to sleep. I'm just a little busy now... I'll get better soon, and I'll take the time to take the Chunin exam or get promoted When I endure, I will definitely go to see it. As for getting married..."

Shisui's words stopped.

He hasn't thought about the fact that Huashi will grow up and get married in the future.

When he thought that his sister would go home with another man in the future, he didn't really want to continue this topic.

Because I slept too late, when I performed the task the next day, I was not in a good spirit, and there were two deep dark circles under the eye sockets.

With a grass stalk in his mouth, Lu Sheng secretly glanced at her from the corner of his eye as he walked, and then asked, "Have you received my gift?"

Huashi held her chin and said casually, "Got it, little dinosaur."

"...I didn't give you a small dinosaur!" Lu Sheng pulled out the grass stem from his mouth with one hand, waved his hand and said, "If you like small dinosaurs, I will give it to you next time."

"Ah, that's right." As if reminded by Lu Sheng's words, Guolinan took out a pair of gauntlets from the backpack behind him, handed them to Huashi, and said, "You like wearing gauntlets very much, so I I prepared this for you as a birthday present."

"Thank you." Huashi put on the gauntlet on the spot.

"Today is Huashi's birthday?" Yang Dou, who was a beat slower, was taken aback for a moment, then covered his head and said in a low voice: "It's over, there are no presents at all."

"It was yesterday, Lord Yang Dou." Lu Sheng rolled his eyes: "Why can't you remember anything?"

"Okay, you can't quarrel in front of Your Excellency Three Generations." Guolinan pushed open the doors of the three offices and said, "Your Excellency Hokage, Class No. 12 is here to report."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was admiring his calligraphy and painting with a pipe in his mouth. Hearing this, he put down the calligraphy, painting and pipe in his hands, and said, "It's just in time. The roof of the client's house is broken again. You need to repair it."

"It's roof repair again?" Yang Dou was very annoyed: "What about the agreed B-level task?"

"At least wait another year, after you become Chunin." Teacher Guolinan looked at Yang Dou who had all his emotions written on his face, and shook his head helplessly: "You must work hard, Lord Yang Dou. "

It was spring, and the weather was not so hot.After working on the roof of the client's house all morning, all the sleepiness from the time spent has dissipated.She was sitting on the roof in a state of desperation, holding the drink presented by the client in her hand, and sucking it one sip at a time.Not far away, Lu Sheng, who took the initiative to take over all the tasks of Hua Shi, was fighting with Yang Dou on the roof in full swing.

There is a tall tree next to where she is sitting, and it has already taken out a tree of tender green leaves, among which there are several rose-red flowers that have not faded, dotted here and there.

"Is the Kunai I gave you still useful?"

When she was spending time, she heard someone talking to her.

She didn't need to look up, she already recognized the questioner by her voice: "Why do you appear from the tree every time? Kakashi."

Kakashi rolled down from the canopy and stood slantedly on the trunk.He waved the book in his hand and said, "Because no one disturbs you when you lean on the branch to read."

"Your Kunai is very useful." Hua Shi glanced at his ninja bag, then moved his gaze to the book in his hand, and asked curiously, "What book are you reading?"

"...A book that adults read." Kakashi silently closed the Intimate Heaven in his hand, and said, "You can read it later."

"... Oh." Huashi nodded and stopped talking.

Kakashi looked at her sluggish appearance, and suddenly asked, "That Uchiha Itachi is your classmate, right?"

"That's right." Hua Shi nodded and asked, "Why do you seem to be very interested in Itachi?"

"...He is a newcomer to Anbu, of course I would be interested."

"That's right." Hua Shi nodded.

The fact that Itachi joined Anbu has never been a secret among the Uchiha clan.Because of his excellent ability, he was recruited by Hokage, which may be a good thing for the Uchiha clan. Itachi can become the link connecting the village and the family, bringing new benefits to the family.However, no one mentions it publicly.

"If you want to inquire about Itachi's ability, there is no way." Hua Shi said, "I won't tell people outside the clan."

"...Uchiha Itachi's ability still needs to be inquired about?" Kakashi turned back into the canopy: "The whole family is pupil art, illusion art plus fire escape, and you are the same. Am I right?"

Hua Shi choked, not knowing what to refute.

What Kakashi said... seems to be true.

She could only stare at the tall tree crown, and muttered in a low voice: "I understand so clearly, I don't know what plan I have."

"You think too much." Kakashi showed his head again, which looked like it was growing on a tree, with a funny shape: "It's just that I had a companion a long time ago who was also a member of Uchiha's tribe. That's why I treated Uchiha The abilities of the Bo family are relatively clear."

"...Who is it?" Huashi blinked: "Kakashi's companion should be older than my brother."

"... If he is still alive, he will be about the same age as me." Kakashi's words suddenly slowed down: "Last time you asked me if I went to visit the fourth generation... Well, that time, I just went to visit his."

"Sorry." Listening to his words, Hua Shi knew that the companion he was talking about had passed away, so she was a little embarrassed: "I didn't mention it on purpose."

"It's okay." Kakashi retracted his head, and his words came from among the leaves: "After all, it has been a long time."

Hua Shi blinked and put down the drink in his hand.

It suddenly occurred to her that the last time she saw Kakashi, he didn't answer her question at all.Unexpectedly, he had already heard it...but he didn't answer, let himself stand there like a fool and mutter to himself.

Some hateful!
