[Hokage] A rose in mourning for the summer moon

The moonlight spilled all over the place.The lights were not turned on in the room, only the dark shadows of the furniture; the sound of the wind poured in through the open windows and smashed against the walls.

The man's body fell to the floor, motionless.The blood spread from under him, and when it reached a certain range, it stopped moving.The blood is clotting, as if there is a sound.

"Take poison." I said, "He caught a gap."

"Yamagata guy... has the information come out?"

"Yes. The interrogation process has been recorded, here." I handed over the recording pen.

He took it.The white mask painted with red patterns covered his face, and the black clothes made him almost blend with the shadows in the room.The ninja knife was behind him, just long enough to reach out and draw it out.

This is Anbe.

"I thought it was Kakashi-senpai." I said.

"From now on, I will be in charge of arranging your work in Anbu." The man put away the recording pen after checking, "It seems that there are no other hidden troubles. How did you do it? The illusion of sharing eyes? You deserve it It's Uchiha."

I tried to observe him, but his figure, his voice, his gait, his style of speaking all suggested that he was a total stranger to me.It is not ruled out that he deliberately concealed his identity.

"I'm Tianzang." He spoke bluntly, but not harshly, and he didn't seem to be difficult to get along with. "I will report the mission situation to the third generation in detail. Xia Yue, I am ready to be summoned at any time these days."

"Yes, Senior Tianzang." I lowered my head.

Tianzang held out his hand.I didn't feel the chakra fluctuations, but blades of grass grew out of the floor for no reason, quietly devouring the winding bloodstains; they climbed all the way to the body, slowly and carefully cleaning the black blood from the corners of his mouth , and finally into his mouth.I guess it's cleaning traces of poison/medicine

In this way, tomorrow the Konoha guards will find that the man died suddenly at home, examine his body carefully, and finally conclude that he was in cardiac arrest.

Most of the previous Konoha Guards were Uchihas.After that night, the newcomers took over quickly and occupied the positions of the former old people. From the cadres to the ordinary members, everything was arranged in an orderly manner without any omissions or confusion. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the village had already made preparations.And this is just one of countless clues.

Everyone remained silent, turned a blind eye, pretended nothing happened, and condemned "that Uchiha's rebellious ninja" when it was mentioned occasionally.I don't know if this can be called "preserving the last dignity for Uchiha", or if keeping the wound covered will only make it fester and sore, leading to more serious consequences.

No matter what kind of result, it is not something that small pawns can interfere with.The more I grow up, the more I realize that it doesn't matter whether it is correct or not, what matters is what the person in that position says and does.

So I just praised my boss respectfully: "As expected of you, Mr. Anbu."

Tianzang glanced at me, "I hope this is not a sarcasm."

how could be.

The pre-employment days are the last easy times.I asked Sasuke to invite him to eat sukiyaki, but he refused with a straight face, and agreed to meet at the commercial street at night after trying to talk about it.I didn't want to waste the sunshine and leisure, so I decided to go shopping alone, and check if the new magazines arrived by the way.

Before I got to the bookstore, I heard a commotion.A group of angry people came running from a distance, probing their brains as if they were looking for something.I noticed that they are reserve members of the Konoha Guard, responsible for handling some trivial matters, similar to neighborhood committees.

"Did you see the guy with blond hair and a beard pattern on his face? That's right, that guy Uzumaki Naruto... What did he do? He stole a paint bucket from nowhere and painted the outer walls of the residential area in a mess Ahhh, I'm so pissed off! This time, I must teach him a lesson!"

"That's right, it's really annoying!"

"Go back and tell my kid to stay away from that guy!"

They walked past me and asked if I had seen the child described.

"No." I said, "It sounds like just a child. Is it necessary to mobilize so many people?"

People had a vicious look on their faces, and they were almost excited.

"I didn't want to talk to him at first!"

"Who wants to talk to the demon fox! But that guy is getting more and more hateful..."

"Stop mentioning that word!"

Yelling and complaining to each other, they rushed down the next block.

After the smoke they raised died down, I went over to the trash can and took one of the lids off.The child hiding inside trembled, and when he raised his face, his blue eyes looked a little guilty and panicked, but soon turned into a triumphant face that pretended to be majestic.

"Qiangqiang! No matter who you are, even if you find me, Uzumaki Naruto, you will never catch me... Wow, it hurts! Let me go, let me go!"

Really noisy kids.

I picked him up and saw his limbs kicking in the air like a cat.

"You really have a beard on your face," I said. "The whirlpool? It's not...forget it."

Looking at this rare hair color, eye color, beard and what those people call "demon fox", and this surname, any ninja who has experienced that incident should think about what is going on.Originally thought that this child should get better care... No, this kind of Harry Potter-style rough raising of "big hermit in the city" is in the interest of Konoha.

Obviously he is about the same age as Sasuke.What a crime.

Naruto couldn't move, he just stared at me with his big eyes open, pretending to be fearless, but really guilty.

"I warn you, big brother, if you don't let me go, I, Uzumaki Naruto, will definitely teach you a lesson!"

Big brother……

"You're going to call me 'big sister'." I said.

"Hey—hey?? You're lying? Don't girls all have long hair and wear skirts? It's like Sakura...ah! Big brother's eyes are blue too! Could it be!"

He pointed at the tip of my nose and exclaimed: "Could it be that - big brother, you are my long-lost father!!"

"..."

The child completely forgot that he was still being carried by me, dancing and dancing.I can guarantee that he is also the most bluffing among his peers.Sasuke hadn't been able to toss like this before.

"I dare not be your father..."

"What, what what? You say you are my mother?! You are lying!!"

"...No, we are not related by blood at all. I promise." I put him on the ground and replied with a headache.

He pursed his lips, stopped bluffing, and the hope in his eyes dimmed.

I squatted down, took a tissue and wiped his cheeks stained by the trash can.He stared at me blankly, blue eyes goofy.This is still a child.

"Have you had lunch yet?" I asked, "Let me treat you to dinner. What would you like to eat?"

He suddenly stopped bluffing, just kept his round face up, staring at me non-stop.

This is not a spoiled child who wants to destroy without scruples, it is precisely because of lack of love that he is trying to attract people's attention.Such children tend to be more sensitive, although they may not say so.

Naruto chose a ramen shop, which is a long-established shop in Konoha, called "Yi Le Ramen".When I ordered, I knew why he chose this place.People avoid Naruto along the way, ignore him, and whisper about him, but the owner of the ramen shop is pleasant and treats him like a normal child.

"Boss, please have two bowls of char siew tonkotsu ramen. Naruto, do you want anything else? Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble."

The boss froze for a moment when he saw me.

"Who is this……"

"Natsuki." I glanced at Naruto, who was also listening, "Uchiha Natsuki."

"Uchiha?" Naruto sat next to him, feeling more at ease, "We also have a Uchiha in our class! That guy... Sasuke! Uchiha Sasuke! Sister Natsuki, do you know Sasuke?"

"Well, Sasuke is... my younger brother." I hesitated, "We also live next door."

"Really? It's amazing!"

I don't know what "powerful" means in the world of children, but Naruto seems to be very interested in Sasuke.Although he didn't say it clearly, and even denied it when he was asked, he kept trying to find out about Sasuke with an indomitable look.

I thought about it for a while and came up with an idea.

When Naruto buried his head in "xilihulu" eating ramen, I ordered him another can of juice, and he looked up at me, blinking his eyes.

"Big sister Xia Yue, you are such a good person!" He shook his head and sighed.

"You can just call me 'Sister Xia Yue'." I said, "Naruto, where do you live?"

He gave an address not far away.

"We live not far away. Sasuke and I are going to eat sukiyaki tonight, would you like to come together?"

"Ah...and that, that brat! I don't..." He lowered his voice, biting his chopsticks with a frown.I patted his head and signaled him not to bite the chopsticks in other shops, it's not good.

He smiled a little embarrassedly, and obediently took the chopsticks away.Sure enough, the kid was not as naughty as others said.

"Is it okay?" He asked in a low voice, hesitating, "In case the people in the store..."

He was worried that the merchant would not accept him, so he even kicked me and Sasuke out.

"The commercial street still has a service spirit. It's not a senior member club, and it won't be picky about which guests I bring." I comforted him.

He grinned, not quite believing it.

"Sister Xiayue, why are you being so nice to me? We don't know each other." His sensitivity showed, "People in the village forbid their children to play with me. Isn't sister Xiayue afraid of being beaten by parents? "

"Don't be afraid." I said, "I'm the only one left in my family...Only Sasuke and I are left in my family."

The two are full and the whole family is not hungry.The bachelor life is fearless.

Naruto was stunned for a moment: "Eh? Sister Xia Yue doesn't have parents either? Doesn't Sasuke either?"

"No. By the way, I don't care, but please don't bring up family matters in front of Sasuke, please, just do me a favor, Naruto."

He thought for a while, slapped his small chest loudly, and said loudly, "Leave it on me! Don't say a word!"

We agreed on a time to meet in the evening, but Naruto said he had something to do in the afternoon and ran away.I originally wanted to ask him if he wanted to practice with Sasuke, who would have thought that this kid could run so fast.Such vitality is really enviable.

The owner of Yile Ramen quickly cleaned up the dishes. "Miss Xia Yue, can I ask a question? You know that the village says Naruto is a demon fox..."

"I heard."

"Really... Indeed, although the village didn't say it, everyone has guessed it. But it's just a kid who doesn't know anything." The boss sighed, "Can I ask Miss Xia Yue why she approached Naruto? ?”

I look at him.

"Senior Kakashi, can I trouble you to change back? It's really strange to see you talking with an uncle's face."

The boss gave a hand.The next moment, with a slight "bang", the figure of the white-haired ninja appeared behind the counter.His eyes were still drooping, with a lazy look, and only occasionally showed sharp eyes.

"How did you see that?" He stretched his neck, the transformation technique would make his body uncomfortable.

"As the owner of a ramen shop, the soup doesn't move when he cleans up the dishes. This kind of skill is too neat."

"This is really a great flaw, really old." Kakashi sighed, "But why must it be me and not someone else? Someone from Anbu has already contacted you."

"'Kissing Heaven'."

"……what?"

"The latest issue of "Kissing Heaven" has emerged from the pocket of the apron, Kakashi-senpai."

Jonin covered his face and let out a frustrated "ah". "The new issue is really exciting, and I'm fascinated by it. After retiring, I unknowingly slack off." He sighed and made self-reflection, "Anyway, let me explain the purpose, Xia Yue. The village has been watching you all the time." Woolen cloth."

Konoha has been paying attention to Uchiha's orphan.I think the same goes for Naruto.

"That child, Naruto..."

Kakashi rolled his eyelids, "Huh? Guess what?"

"It's very sunny and energetic, don't you think, Kakashi-senpai?"

"I just think it's too stubborn." The genius elite Jonin asserted, "I heard that it's still the school's crane tail."

I suspect he was trying to complain that Naruto wasted his parents' talents.I've heard that Kakashi's teacher is Shining Konoha, but it's hard to guess.

"Many people living in this village, whether ninjas or ordinary people, have experienced misfortune. The more they experience, the more silent they become, and life becomes more and more like a pool of stagnant water. They can't feel happiness and hope, and people become more and more miserable. I'm getting more and more numb." I said, "However, if there are people like Naruto who are full of energy, I will feel that I will also be infected with a lot of energy, just like being alive again."

To put it more simply, Naruto is like a source of positive energy. When listening to his "crackling" blustering, it's like seeing a vigorous and burning life.

Kakashi was silent, without denying my words.

"I hope he can become friends with Sasuke. That kid is in a very worrying state," I said. "Just staying with me won't do Sasuke any good. But maybe Naruto can make it easier for him."

"...It's really an illusory expectation, Xia Yue. Do you want to make yourself more energetic without thinking about it?"

"I don't have that extra energy. Kakashi-senpai should understand, right? We all lack the power to infect others." I said, "Will you not allow me to try, Kakashi-senpai?"

The white-haired ninja pondered for a while. "Forget it, do whatever you want. It's just two brats." He yawned, "I hope you won't be disappointed."

"Thank you. You are such a good person, Kakashi-senpai."

"Don't give out good people cards randomly."

The author has something to say: Tianzang is Yamato~

Treasure Boy Naruto Appears【Hey】

And, the crow is not Itachi, he is the highest-level undercover agent, he never exposed himself until his death, and the only time he returned to the village was to frighten Danzo (the time when Kyuubi was caught).He would never take any risk to expose his connection with the village, otherwise such a major sacrifice would not be in vain.

Crows exist as "eyes" mixed in large groups of the same kind.Xia Yue just guessed.

I read all the content and comments, but I don’t have much time to go back one by one, but I love you all!

Some comments get deleted inexplicably, feel lost...

Let’s go back here: Although I don’t know what the definition and standard of “glass slag” are, there are twists and turns, and the ending is bright~
