"I knew Orochimaru wasn't a bad guy.
He really isn't a bad guy. "
Fire Country, Konoha, Sarutobi's house.
Another day passed.
Jiraiya, who had sobered up, ran all the way to Sarutobi and blew on the leaves.
Sarutobi was brewing tea in the sunset. He didn't understand why Xiaochun was always by the stove, but now he felt that there was nothing better than boiling water to pass the time.
"…" Jiraiya was disappointed at Sarutobi's indifference. "Okay.
I know that Orochimaru didn't make up stories about experimenting on his companions. He even said many times that he wanted to slice my brain. "
Sarutobi made tea. After losing Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Konoha Maru's father, he couldn't help but be tolerant of Jiraiya. However, it seemed that his tolerance didn't have a good effect on Jiraiya.
"Okay, I still know.
That bullshit spy sent to the Akatsuki, I just didn't want to think about it. I'm not stupid. Watergate just saw that Orochimaru was still useful.
He just found an excuse to let him come back to work. "Jiraiya squatted down in the long corridor.
He remembered that when he was young, he, Tsunade, and Orochimaru would sit here and eat watermelon. Tsunade normally ate watermelon and spat out seeds, but he would spit out the seeds like Senbonzaku.
Orochimaru picked out the seeds with a toothpick and put them on a plate. After he finished eating, there wasn't any sticky juice on his face or hands.
"Sensei, I knew that Orochimaru was a pervert since I was young. But he really isn't a bad person. "
Sarutobi still didn't say a word. What could he say? Oppose Konoha's easy way to whitewash Orochimaru's name? Oppose letting the evil renegade ninja return to Konoha? Even if he objected, someone had to listen to him.
"Orochimaru could have been considered a good person."
Sarutobi drank tea.
He felt that the warm tea was really comforting. The king was dead.
Everyone was saying that Bo Fung Watergate was the killer. No problem.
If a golem would benefit Konoha from the Fire Kingdom, then Konoha would benefit from it.
Then let the Monarch be the spiritual leader. If the Monarch's death was good for everyone, then let the Monarch die. As the monarch, he should have sacrificed himself for the country and its people … But the new monarch was a child who had no blood relations with the monarch!
"Orochi is not a medical ninja. Later, he became a part-time doctor because he didn't have enough medical ninjas."
The Sarutobi Clan has served the Emperor since ancient times to protect the Land of Fire, whether it was during the Great Ninja War or when Senju and Uchiha suddenly shook hands and established Konoha.
"Orochimaru studied forbidden techniques and human experiments because he realized that he couldn't save people even if he mastered medical ninjutsu."
Sarutobi didn't know whether the future Bo Fung Watergate chose for the world was better or worse, but he couldn't choose again.
"Orochimaru is selfish and cruel, but Orochimaru is much better than Tsunade. When Tsunade realized that she couldn't save her loved ones no matter how hard she tried, she didn't even save others. Orochimaru survived for two years after Tsunade left." Jiraiya chewed the bitter winter Aoha. "But no matter how selfish Tsunade is, she's still better than me. At least she knows that she can't help, so she won't make trouble."
"…" Sarutobi finally looked up at Jiraiya. Uniform, tactical vest, and forehead protector. The fifty-year-old Jonin had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and wrinkles at the side of his nose. He was as fat as Watergate's stupid lion.
"Sensei, why are you looking at me without saying anything? You ate too much salt for dinner. It's good for your heart to eat less salt at your age. " Jiraiya spat out the green leaves and revealed his green-stained teeth. He wanted to laugh at Sensei's heartlessness, but he stopped halfway. Jiraiya was a free and optimistic ninja. He really wanted to do something for Konoha, and he was willing to die. However, Konoha didn't need him to die.
Sarutobi took the last sip of the cold tea. The bitter and sweet taste calmed him down. "I heard that Naruto and Hinata went on a date yesterday?"
"Sensei, why are you so gossipy?" Jiraiya took an exaggerated step forward and stomped his foot, but there was no clear sound of wood. "Well, Sandaime Naruto used to be a young man who needed a disciple to bring him to collect materials. By the way, Sensei, can you teach me the Crystal Ball Jutsu now?"
"Don't you think you're a bit smelly?" Sarutobi kicked Jiraiya who was approaching him.
"Hahaha, actually I haven't showered for a long time." Jiraiya leaned closer. "But I do change my clothes. Hahaha, Konoha is so convenient now. Single men just need to leave their clothes at the service center and pick them up the next day. Hahaha, in the past, the Jonins were willing to accept many of the Jonins just to have more people to help them wash their clothes and wash the dishes. Hahaha … Ahhh, it hurts! Sensei, why did you hit me again?! "
Sarutobi kicked Jiraiya and dragged him into the bathroom.
Jiraiya took a shower in silence. "In the past, Sensei was afraid that I would use the Crystal Ball to do bad things, but now I'm so old."
"How old are you? If you want to use it to peep, you can use it to peep in the women's bathroom."
"Hey, other people don't know, but I do. Sensei invented the Crystal Ball Jutsu after we were chased and beaten for collecting materials."
"I did it to keep an eye on Konoha." The only Ninjutsu that the Ninja Doctor invented in his life was banned many years ago. Once it was used, the security department and the Anbu on duty would beep non-stop, as if someone would really use the Crystal Ball to peep in the women's bathroom. Sarutobi expressionlessly took out the Crystal Ball from the bottom of the cabinet and threw it into the bathroom. "Wash it while you're at it. Even if I don't teach you the hand seals, I think you can do it. "
Jiraiya caught the Crystal Ball and his eyes lit up. "You're giving it to me?"
"Give it to Naruto." Sarutobi sighed. When Konoha Maru's parents were still alive, Naruto liked to play with the old housekeeper. No child could refuse the old housekeeper of Sarutobi's house, and Orochimaru was no exception. Later, when his relationship with Watergate deteriorated day by day, and when they almost fell out, Naruto rarely visited. When he asked Konoha Maru to go out, he would do it outside. After graduation, he rarely played with Konoha Maru. Konoha Maru didn't complain at all. The young masters of the Naruto family were sensitive to such trivial things. "It's a birthday gift for Naruto. Every time he sees it, he looks like he wants it."
"But compared to the Crystal Ball, I think the birthday gift I gave him last year is more practical." Jiraiya washed the Crystal Ball. "Well, I'll go to the supermarket and buy another one for him."
"What did you give him?"
"The one our teacher gave to me and Orochimaru when we were sixteen." Jiraiya blinked.
Sarutobi's leg twitched. "Little Watergate will scold you if he sees it."
"Watergate won't. He couldn't wait to use up the one I gave him on his birthday."
"You'll be beaten to death by Kina."
"If Kina was alive, she would definitely chase after me. But she's dead."
National capital of the Fire Country, in the suburbs.
A place with beautiful scenery and hot springs.
Yamato really used the House Building Technique to build a small wooden house.
The ghost Kina Maelstrom, who had been dead for many years, wasn't interested in her husband's body in the hot spring pool. She was worried about her son. "I don't know if Naruto really likes Hinata or if it's just an impulse. That Hinata's daughter isn't an ordinary person. If they break up after falling in love, Naruto won't have a good ending. "
"That's why Naruto didn't dare to give any response before." Watergate looked at his waist that was a little fatter. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad. "Didn't the Dark Group report it? Your son hugged the glass jar Hinata gave him and sat in the living room until dawn before going to sleep. He should've thought it through before going on a date. I don't know how long he spent on such a big jar of stars. I think Naruto might've realized that if he refused again, Hinata might give up on him and fall in love with someone else. Then he panicked all of a sudden. "
"Bah, only boys who can't catch up with girls will turn around and chase after girls who are easy to chase. Girls won't give up halfway when they realize that it's hard to chase after them." Kina was resentful. "Sigh, I should've persisted.
"What?"
Kina floated up and down. "I feel like you didn't really chase after me. You just asked me if I wanted to be your girlfriend and I agreed. It's the same for marriage. You tell me, everyone is preparing for a group wedding. Should we sign up for it? A group wedding is really lively, but there's no wedding dress, no ring, nothing … Now that I recall the extravagance when Mikoto married Fugaku, I'm inexplicably jealous. "
"Sorry." Watergate was also very regretful. He didn't realize how precious a wedding with only two people was at that time.
"It's still better than Orochimaru." Kina hated to see Watergate unhappy. "Do you still remember how we pranked Orochimaru?"
"Yes, I remember. We sent love letters to girls in his name." Watergate laughed. "I even drew a snake on the envelope, but you said it was ugly."
Kina also laughed. "But there really was a female ninja sister who asked me to help her chase after Orochimaru."
"… Which female ninja is so bold?"
"I promised to knit the scarf and prepare the confession letter when I came back from the mission."
"…" Watergate floated on the water.
"If that sister was braver like Hinata and said that she liked him early, maybe it would've worked." Kina floated in the sky. "If she fell in love with a Sannin, the mission would've been easier."
"Okay." Watergate dried himself and put on his clothes. "Yamato, help me massage my meat."
Uchiha Itachi pushed the door open and came in.
"Where's Yamato?"
"He's complaining that I didn't heat up the rice properly." Itachi ignored Naruto and bowed to the air. He didn't believe it when he saw it with his own eyes, but Orochimaru had confirmed it. "Kina -san, please tell the Four Generations that my massage skills are no longer what they used to be."
"…" Watergate roared in his mind. He said it eight hundred times that he wasn't crazy and that he wasn't crazy. Even if Kina turned into a ghost and stayed by his side, no one would believe him. Orochimaru, on the other hand, made everyone believe him with just a few words. This didn't make sense!
"…" Itachi laid out the small blanket and continued to ignore Bo Fung Watergate's gaze. His impression of Golden Flash had been shattered to pieces as early as the day he became the captain of the guards. In short, Kakashi said it well. Just treat the Four Generations as capricious old men. Well, as of this year, there were very few elders who had participated in the Third World War who were older than fifty years old when they died. The Four Generations could indeed be considered old men after forty years old. "Kina -san?"
"Hahahaha." Kina liked being called Sister Kina. She was much smarter than those guys who called her Sister Kina because they called Watergate Brother. "Watergate, go lie down."
Watergate thought about the pain of being pinched by Kina and Itachi and chose to lie down.
Yes, it was that easy to manipulate a retired Naruto. Itachi was pleased with himself as he massaged.
Watergate regretted being beaten up by Itachi.
Itachi couldn't do anything about it. "It's Kakashi's fault for not letting you go to the Chizumi House and coming here."
"It's because the Chizumi House is still under investigation. There are so many shops, it takes time." Kina realized after explaining to Itachi that Itachi still couldn't hear her.
However, Watergate still repeated Kina's words.
Kina turned her head away when she heard Watergate's robotic voice. Kakashi interrupted Orochimaru and Watergate's conversation, and Kakashi didn't let Watergate participate too much in the subsequent negotiations. However, since Kakashi had cleared Orochimaru's name, it meant that Watergate couldn't ask any more questions even if he didn't know the truth.
Just like since he got sick, Watergate didn't say a word to Konoha's top management except for Zhiwei and Dingzhuo. Sandaime Hiroyuki, Shikaku, Hiashi, Mito Pyloritis, and Xiaochun, all avoided Watergate and Watergate. They used to be political enemies, and in order to defeat each other, they always used some means.
But now, they had already turned enemies into friends.
Hatake White Fang killed the only son of an important elder of Sand Hidden Village. Watergate killed fifty elite Shinobu Iwa, and these were the families of the fifty Shinobu Iwa. Lightning Hidden Village killed Rin Kudo and almost kidnapped Hinata. The Mist's most powerful seven-man clan was disbanded by Guy's father. Sarutobi and Uchiha Macula were both retainers of the Lord, so it's not rare for them to trip each other. Uchiha and Senju have been fighting for generations … Your father killed my brother, and my brother killed your brother. The peace between Hashirama and Uchiha Macula was indeed a great event.
It's just that hatred, can it really be let go so easily? If it can be let go, Tobirama won't look down on Uchiha, and Uchiha Macula won't betray Konoha again.
Yes, hatred. Kina raised the corner of her mouth, and the blue light around her body skyrocketed.
Itachi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, but he quickly calmed down, because Naruto, who was asleep, quickly opened his eyes and explained to him.
"Kina, what did you think, don't lose your temper, you used the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to kill people invisibly." Watergate was really awakened.
"I thought that in the future, I might become relatives with Hinata!" Kina stuck out her tongue and hugged Watergate's neck. "I'm very unhappy."
Watergate was also very unhappy, and he even maliciously thought that it would be best if Hinata died before Naruto and Hinata talked about marriage. But Hinata's body was very good, and she didn't even have any old injuries.
But there are always other solutions.
Konoha, the Land of Fire, Hinata's Ancestral House
Every family has a secret room for the head of the house.
Hinata and Hinata sat opposite each other.
"Hinata and Naruto have confirmed their relationship." Hinata hugged her teacup and blew on it. "Naruto's young master can't marry into the family. Hanabi is still young, and I can't tell if she has the talent to lead the family. And now is not the same as before, ninjas can live well in Konoha without a family name, so it's not a big deal to give yourself a family name. "
"…" Hinata Hizashi also drank his tea, and refused to put it down even when his mouth was scalded.
Hiashi looked at the rippling water in his brother's teacup and nodded solemnly. "So, let's let Yasuji be the successor."
"Okay." Hinata Hizashi didn't dare to be polite.
"And, in the future, I'll be the branch family, and you'll be the main family." Hinata still held her teacup steadily, not in a hurry.
"…" Hinata Hizashi spilled water all over his body. Yasuji's ascension to the head of the house was expected by everyone. It's not that girls can't be the head of the house. Hinata's female head of the house had always been good, but Hinata and Hanabi's personalities were like their mother's, and it was too cruel to let a gentle and kind child be the head of the house. For example, if a branch family really cried and begged not to be the Caged Bird, could Hinata and Hanabi really put a seal on it without batting an eyelid? But what did Hinata say, to let him take the Caged Bird and be the main family head from now on …
"Brother, I just feel that it's a pity that Yasuji's talent is suppressed." Hizashi was a little frightened. "My family's internal and external contacts are just to let Yasuji live well, I don't mean anything else."
"I don't mean anything else." Hiashi sighed and took off Hizashi's forehead protector. "The reason why the branch family and the branch family are separated is that it's a precaution against the lower. But what's the truth? Bo Fung Watergate teased you, and you teased me, but I'm telling you now that he's right, the advantage of being the main family and branch family is that you can bet on both sides in the internal struggle, or even three or four sides. "
"…"
"I'm the head of the house, following the powerful Sandaime-sama, and you continue to be close to the Fourth Generation. If the Sandaime-sama wins, I'll guarantee Hinata's future. But now the winner is the Fourth Generation, so of course, you'll be the one to guarantee Hinata's future. "
"…"
"Father once told you and me that the political struggle is a struggle for the sake of righteousness, and those who think they have the righteousness must be unscrupulous." Hinata ignited her Chakra and poked her brother's forehead. "If it's the Sandaime-sama, I believe that the head of the Sarutobi family knows that the struggle for the route is not a personal grudge, and in order to achieve his goal, the Sandaime-sama won't hate you even if you kill his son. But Bo Fung Watergate, why don't you kill one of his sons and see? How can he let it go so easily? "
Letting it go really means caring.
