[Hokage] Naruko Haze

In the trade wind season, in the vast desert, wind and sand are raging.There were three faint figures, covered tightly, walking slowly, a spherical building opened the door quickly, and the three hurried in, locking the wind and sand behind them.

"Hey, I'm finally back!" Kankuro sighed, and patted the sand off the puppet's package.

"That's right, I really don't want to do missions at such a time!" Temari pulled off his windproof jacket, and the sand fell down.

Gaara unbuttoned his coat and said to the other two, "Thank you."

A sand ninja walked by, and said with a smile, "Master Gaara, that girl is here again, and I put her in the reception room."

Kankuro looked surprised: "This kind of weather is here too? You didn't take the wrong medicine!"

Temari smiled, and glanced at Gaara: "It's been half a year since we last met."

Gaara nodded and walked quickly towards her room.Seeing this, Kankuro asked suspiciously: "The reception room is right next to it, why don't you just go there?"

Gaara didn't stop: "I want to take a shower and change my clothes."

Naruko sat obediently in the reception room of Sand Hidden Village, not daring to move.

I was often taught by Teacher Jiraiya and Sakura Shikamaru, saying that I was too impulsive.I absolutely can't give Gaara any trouble!

I have been waiting for two days.She immediately gave a friendly smile to anyone who passed by the reception room.

However, I always feel that the people in Shayin Village look at me strangely...

And there are girls of all kinds hiding at the door of the reception room and peeking at her.

Hmm...are they curious about Konoha's ninjas?

correct!It must be because I am a shadow clone, I don't eat, drink or sleep, which makes them feel very strange!

Naruko was thinking, when someone came in, she raised her head and smiled, "Gara!"

Gaara's damp red hair didn't curl up as usual, but drooped obediently. Also, after not seeing him for half a year, his face became a little sharper.Naruko stood up and walked to him, realizing that he was already taller than her.

"You grow up so fast!" Naruko laughed.

Gaara looked at the girl in front of her, she had also grown taller, her baby fat round face was thinner, her blond hair was tied into two ponytails, swaying happily on her shoulders.

"So are you."

"That's right!" Naruko thought of something, pulled Gaara over and stood in front of the low table in the living room.On the low table was a half-person-high canvas bag, bulging.Naruko opened the bag and took out all the things for him to see.

"This is "Desert Drip Irrigation Technology" I saw in a bookstore. I thought it would be useful, so I bought it for your reference!"

"This is the ramen soup packet I bought in Kumamoto! It's really delicious, you should try it too!"

"This is the shell I picked up on the beach, this is the red leaf I saw on the mountain road, this is the green tea from Kadao..."

Naruko handed everything to Gaara, excitedly talking about her new experience, and Gaara took everything and looked at her smiling.

"Oh! Look at me!" Naruko looked back, and found that the things were piled so high that Gaara could hardly hold them, so he took some off and put them back in the bag in embarrassment.

"Just mention it to your room together! Where's Temari and Kankuro? I also brought them some souvenirs."

"They just finished their mission and went back to their room to rest. Next time I will bring it to them together, thank you very much." Gaara carried various gifts and took Naruko all the way back to the room. Sand ninjas they met all looked at him The two were whispering, with different expressions on their faces.

Naruko put the bag on the table in Gaara's room, saw the wind and sand whistling outside the window, and said with emotion: "The environment in the Land of Wind is really harsh. I almost lost my way here this time. To survive here, the vitality is really great." Strong!"

Gaara placed the gift carefully, and replied: "Yes, the food self-sufficiency rate of the Land of Wind is very low. Fortunately, it is rich in minerals, and can trade and import food with other countries."

Naruko saw Gaara's bedside, with a lot of thick books, bookmarks and various signs. She picked up a book and flipped through it. It was a book about how to extract gold placer efficiently, full of annotations.

Gaara explained: "Anyway, I can't sleep at night, so I just read a book. Besides, the elders of Sand Hidden Village intend to let me be Kazekage."

"Kazekage!" Naruko was very surprised, "You are only 14 years old!"

"The Kazekage in Hidden Sand Village is also based on the system of master-student and blood inheritance. My father and master are both the fourth-generation Kazekage, and I have Shukage in my body." Gaara said calmly.

If the responsibility of a village is entrusted to such a young child, I am afraid there will be a lot of criticism... Naruko thought, and said softly: "There is a lot of pressure, no wonder everyone looked at you strangely just now..."

"Huh? Are they looking at me?" Gaara looked at Naruko and smiled, and said, "No matter what, I want to do something for this village, and I will make them agree with me."

Naruko nodded: "You must be fine! By the way, tell me, why is the shadow of Ninja Village a master-apprentice system? If he is not the disciple and grandson of the former shadow, can he not be a shadow? Even if he has made great achievements ?”

Gaara was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and pondered for a while: "I've never thought about this question, maybe it's a kind of inheritance of will?"

Naruko disagreed, so he gave the example of Orochimaru: "He is also a disciple of the third Hokage, but if he becomes Hokage, Konoha will definitely be destroyed by his selfish desires!"

"You're right...the master-apprentice system itself has a lot of loopholes. If there is only one direct apprentice, and this apprentice is not worthy of a big responsibility, can he still be a shadow at this time?"

The two of you talked about various improvement plans.How to choose the best candidate without causing gang fights is really difficult.

The discussion between the two was so heated that they almost forgot the time. At this moment, someone knocked on the door and came in, interrupting their conversation. A young man was holding a plate: "Master Gaara, I'll put the dinner away..."

When he saw the boys and girls sitting on the bed, he was stunned and blushed: "Sorry, I, I don't know... Excuse me!" After speaking, he quickly exited the room and closed the door.

Naruko was a little puzzled: "Why is he apologizing?"

Gaara shook his head, got out of bed, sat at the table, and started to eat. Naruko looked at him with his head propped up, and felt that his posture was very elegant, so he stared at his every move and kept it in his heart.

Feeling her intense gaze, Gaara put down the bowl uncomfortably, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Naruko...do you want to eat too?"

"Shadow clones can't be eaten anymore! What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Gaara picked up the bowl, blushed a little, and speeded up.

After the meal, the two chatted some gossip again, and Naruko said goodbye.

"You just came back from your mission, so take a good rest!"

As soon as she walked out of the door, Naruko was stopped by Temari with a bad face.

"Naruko, there's something I need to tell you clearly..."

The elders of Hidden Sand Village agreed with Konoha Kyuubi to visit Gaara for two reasons: first, she came in the form of a shadow clone, and the threat was not great; second, Gaara said that Konoha Kyubi could Help him stabilize his emotions and control Shouhe.

"However, the people in the village are worried that you will... how should I put it, you belong to ninjas from different villages, and Gaara is still a candidate for Kazekage, so the relationship should not be too close." Temari expressed as tactfully as possible, she lowered her voice Shaking his head, he didn't want to look directly into Naruko's eyes, "I'm also very sorry, Gaara finally has a friend who understands him, but..."

"Then, can I write a letter?"

After a while, Naruko opened his mouth and said softly: "I won't come again, so please allow this level of communication..."

She bowed to her hands with a smile and bowed: "Sorry, I have caused you a lot of trouble..."

Temari hurriedly helped her up, and said sadly: "You are not wrong, it's just that you have a different stand... Don't worry, if you write a letter, I will convince those stubborn elders no matter what I say!"

Naruko twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Thank you, Temari!"

She walked out of Temari's room, and in the empty, unfamiliar corridor, there were only the sound of her footsteps and the whining of the wind.

Before he knew it, he came to the door of Gaara's room again. Kankuro had just stepped out of it. When he saw Naruko, he nodded and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you for those days."

"It's okay, I'm also very happy, you and Temari can accept me." Naruko knocked lightly on Gaara's room, and smiled at Kankuro, "Don't worry, it's just a farewell."

Gaara opened the door frowning, and the moment she saw Naruko, she softened her expression, her pale green eyes were slightly sad.

"Naruko..."

"I love Luo..."

Naruko suppressed her emotions, smiled calmly, and stretched out her right hand.Gaara was silent for a while, then raised her right hand and squeezed it tightly, conveying the same intensely suppressed heat to each other.

"I'll write to you."

"I can do it too."

Suddenly, Gaara lowered his head, took Naruko's right hand, and leaned against his forehead, his voice trembling.

"One day, one day! Interactions between ninjas will no longer distinguish between ninja villages and countries!"

Feeling the moisture on her fingertips, Naruko felt sour in her heart, and couldn't help hugging each other: "We can wait until that day, we will definitely!"

After the shadow clone turned into white mist and disappeared, Kankuro looked at Gaara without saying a word, staring blankly at Gaara outside the window, and couldn't help asking: "Gara, you don't know, do you really like it?"

After a long time, Gaara replied lightly: "Don't worry, it won't be the kind that the elders are worried about."

In the Land of Fire, Naruko was sitting in the tavern, surrounded by noisy people, and Jiraiya was talking to her, but she didn't hear anything, she just shed tears in a daze.

Ji Lai was also startled, and hurriedly asked: "Naruko, what's wrong with you?"

After calling several times, Naruko came back to his senses and wiped away his tears.

"Hidden Sand Village doesn't allow me to find Gaara anymore."

Jilai also saw Naruko like this, and he understood it in his heart, and comforted him: "It's okay, if there is a mission in Sand Hidden Village in the future, if you fight for it, you can go there."

"How can Ninja Village unite?"

Jilai also sighed: "Benefits. To put it nicely, it is a common goal. By the way, how did you come up with the idea of ​​joining forces? Who told you?"

Naruko shook his head: "It's an old man in bandages, every time we meet at night, I didn't see his face clearly, and I didn't ask his name."

Jiraiya picked up the wine glass, recalled Konoha's aging ninjas, guessed who that person was, drank the wine silently, unexpectedly Naruko's next words almost made him choke.

"I want to meet the daimyo."

"Why did you say this suddenly? It has nothing to do with what you said earlier!" Jiraiya put down his glass, trying to understand his apprentice's brain circuit, "Why are you going to see the daimyo? Besides, daimyo is something you can see whenever you want !"

"If you want to know something, it's a shadow clone anyway," Naruko didn't care, "it's easy to change your appearance or escape."

Jiraiya raised his forehead: "Really, I had this premonition when you sent shadow clones everywhere, did you really become more and more courageous! Forget it, it's up to you, you'd better not reveal your true identity, give me Konoha is causing trouble!"

"Well! Thank you, Master!"

Tonight, Naruko dreamed of Sasuke again.

How strange, she looked at the boy in front of her and thought to herself, the thing that shocked me the most today was Gaara.

Sasuke's face was fuzzy, he was walking ahead, always unable to catch up.

You stop chasing!You can't understand me and have no solution!

How could I not chase, Naruko said, you are my target!

Target?Your target is not me!

Sasuke turned around and sneered:

You forgot about me a long time ago, didn't you?

Naruko woke up suddenly, heart pounding.

Outside the window, the eastern sky is dark blue, just like the color of Sasuke's usual clothes.

Well, then go to Tianzhi Country to look for it.
