[Hokage] The girl next door is growing up

"Nao, you are already very good."

When Itachi said this to me, it was the summer at the end of my 11th year. At that time, I didn't carefully figure out the meaning of his words, I just thought it was a compliment to me.

The base of 'Akatsuki' is a huge cave, the specific location, because Itachi also deliberately concealed the location here, so I really don't know where it is.

Due to the rapid development of strength, the leader Payne finally noticed my existence, so on this day, I was called away by Xiao Nan and brought to him.I've been here almost five years now.

"Is your name Nao?"

To be honest, I really don't have the slightest interest in this man covered in iron rods, but since he is the leader now, I can only make up for it and nod.

"I've been observing you for a long time. You have such outstanding strength in a young grade. You are a rare talent. Would you like to join 'Xiao', and from now on, for the sake of the future of this world..."

Before he finished speaking, I shook my head.

Then a sense of embarrassment rose spontaneously in the space.

I knew that the person in front of me was getting a little angry, and I was relieved until he ordered Xiao Nan to take me back out with a sullen face. .

Suddenly, I found that my courage is much stronger than before.

**

Itachi and I's room is an ordinary grotto in the base, with a bed, a few lamps, and ninjutsu scrolls everywhere. The ordinary furnishings have been maintained for many years.

Itachi often goes out to do missions, and even if he comes back, he will practice outside until very late. Most of the time, I am alone, but today he did not go out strangely. Instead, he sat in the room with me and combed for me. long hair.

"Nao, why didn't you accept the leader's invitation this morning?" I knew he was going to ask this.

I was lying in his arms, and he hadn't combed my hair for a long time, although every time he did, he definitely had something to ask me, or something to ask me for.

"But, didn't you tell me, brother Itachi, as long as you follow you?" I raised my head and looked at Itachi's face from the bottom up. Except for the two ditch-like nasolabial folds that are a bit of an eyesore, otherwise my Brother Itachi is definitely a first-class handsome guy.Although those two decree lines are one of Itachi's unique characteristics.

"Oh, you remember."

"Um……"

Itachi combed my hair very gently, the scalp was massaged comfortably, and I closed my eyes enjoying it.

"Nao..." There was a pause in the tone, "It's time for you to return to Sasuke's side."

Itachi's unique steady tone traveled all over the walls and floors of the room, then penetrated into my cochlea abruptly and echoed in my mind.

Now I finally know the meaning of what he said in the summer. It turns out that the day of parting has arrived.

He seemed to sense the unnatural stiffness in my body, he sighed, his tone became softer, "You should know, the purpose of my training you, you are a smart child."

Well... I know, I've always known.But Itachi, you should also know, you clearly know that I cannot do without you...

Heh, no, maybe it's because you know that, so you use it instead, and you can better control my actions.

Sasuke, you have to thank you, you have a brother who loves you so much, for you, he would rather give up on me.

"I know, I will protect him well." I don't want to open my eyes, I don't want to, I want to lie in his arms for a while, I'm afraid I won't have this chance again in the future.

"Brother Weasel, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while, can you stay with me for a while?" With both hands involuntarily, he hugged him tightly, please stay with me before I fall asleep.

"Um……"

Familiar hand warmth, gentle movements, will there be anyone else?Will there be another person in my life who is willing to touch my long hair so gently?

"Can I be willful once? Brother."

Finally, tears came pouring down like rain, and for the first time, I showed my cowardice in front of him.

In the spring when I was 11 years old, my life took a 180-degree turn again and headed towards the first.

**

"Yo, Nao, it looks like I won't see you for a while." Kisame Kisame came to see me off stinkingly, carrying a large sword 'Same Muscle'.

Reluctantly giving him another roll of the eye, my heart softened.

"Thank you for your advice these years, please take care." This was the first time I spoke to Kisame Kisame, obviously he seemed to be coping.

I looked at his shark face with a half-smile and made a joke, turned around and said to Uchiha Itachi: "Brother Itachi, I'm leaving, so you don't have to see me off. In the past, it was the Land of Fire I won't get lost now, I'm not the Nao I used to be."

"Well, be careful." Itachi nodded, rubbing his fingers into my hair.

Being treated so tenderly, I'm afraid I won't be blessed to endure it in the future.

"Well, I see." After finishing speaking, I ran away in the direction of the Land of Fire.

"Is that okay, Itachi, the baby you cultivated so hard was sent to your younger brother just like that." There was a hint of sarcasm in the words of Kanshi Kisame.

"Nao originally belonged to Sasuke, hum...don't talk nonsense, we are going back soon, if we stay too long, we will be discovered by Konoha's ninja, and it will be troublesome to cause unnecessary commotion." Itachi said coldly But his eyes always followed the girl who had already run away.

Until she disappeared far away in the depths of the woods.

"Report to Hokage-sama." An Anbu ninja wearing a cat-head mask stood on one knee, and in front of him stood a man in a white silk trench coat and a red and white hat with the words 'fire' written on it, With such a dress, apart from the third Hokage Sarutobi, I am afraid that there is no second person in Konoha.

"What's the matter?" It belonged to the old man's unique hoarse and steady voice.

"We found a lost girl in the forest on the border of the Land of Fire. She was about ten years old. Her appearance and personality were very similar to the adopted daughter of the Uchiha tribe who disappeared five years ago." The cat-headed ninja reported in detail.

"Oh?" The Third Hokage stroked the beard between his chins, thinking, "Indeed, five years ago, a few days before the Uchiha clan was exterminated, a child did get lost, but that child has been missing for five years Now, why did it suddenly appear in the Land of Fire?"

"That girl has been brought back by us. Would you like to interrogate the girl yourself?"

"Well, bring it up, Kimura, bring up the missing persons book from five years ago." Third Hokage turned his head and said to his subordinates.

"Yes."

I was brought in front of the Third Hokage by two ninjas from Anbu, and secretly looked at the old man in front of me. This is the first time I have seen the old man Hokage since I was born. Well... indeed, it is just an ordinary old man, nothing special.

"Your name is Nao, isn't it!" The Third Hokage saw me coming in, referring to the name on the missing persons book, and asked me kindly.

When Itachi put me on the border of the Land of Fire, I knew that I was back and started on the way back, but unfortunately, there was no complete home waiting for me ahead.

I nodded, then bowed to Sandai Hokage and bowed deeply, this is to express my apology for my long absence.

Seeing the approving look in the old man's eyes, I sneered secretly in my heart, I am a human being, and I really like this.

"What a sensible child, can you tell grandpa, where have you been these past few years?" The old man narrowed his eyes, trying to impress the child's heart with his peace.

I have been missing for five years. It is reasonable to investigate what happened to me in the past five years. After all, I also disappeared before the Uchiha clan was exterminated. They will also think that I may be involved in this matter and then arrest me , but I have spent the past five years in Xiao's lair. If I really tell the truth about these things, I don't know how much uproar it will cause. Besides, I have already prepared for defense.

I shook my head at the three-generation old man. I just need to keep silent. Presumably, my personality is also written in the population book. If I really talk about what I have seen and heard in the past five years, it will be strange if I am not suspected .

"You really are a taciturn child, it seems that it is difficult for you to speak, Kimura." The old man stroked his beard and called out to the Anbu ninja beside me.

"Yes."

"Give her to Kaiichi Yamanaka from the intelligence team."

Damn, I knew that you, a dead old man, would come up with such a ruthless move. Isn't Haiichi Yamanaka her father, Yamanaka Ino, who is good at using ninjutsu to control the mind, and also has the ability to probe other people's thoughts and obtain information.

There's no other way, since I've already expected it, let's bite the bullet.

I haven't used illusion for a long time, so let's do a big job, just get dad.

The author has something to say: The heroine's feelings for Itachi are silly and unclear, you understand.

The day when she wakes up is the male lead's judgment is clear,

Now... everything is a mirror image...

Hey hey hey hey... an evil smile floated by.
