Konoha, Jan. 1, 63
Fire Country, Konoha
In the afternoon,
The sky was gloomy again. The air was filled with tiny icicles, but it was not snow.
Naruto Uzumaki, Eddy Phosphorus,
Hozuki Shuiyue,
Burped out of a bowl of ramen,
Behind him was Uchiha Sasuke, who had just finished eating. First, Sasuke actually liked to eat ramen. Rough food also had the beauty of rough food.
And a full stomach would destroy the beauty of food at any time. Second, today was his treat, so there was no reason.
Only because Sasuke knew.
His weekly pocket money from his mother and brother was more than Naruto and Aromatic Phosphorus combined. And Hozuki Shuiyue, the boy from the Water Country, had no pocket money.
"Even a ninja of the Peach Land doesn't give you pocket money?" Naruto sympathized with the poor Hozuki Shuiyue even more. He didn't have pocket money because he escaped from the Mist Village after his family was destroyed, but he grew up.
She had never received any pocket money.
"Grandpa Orochimaru doesn't give you pocket money? You used to follow Grandpa Orochimaru, right? "
"Cough.
Grandpa Orochimaru or something. "Although Naruto talked about it from his father,
It was not wrong to call Orochimaru grandpa.
But Hozuki Shuiyue was still scared by Naruto.
"I'm sixteen or seventeen years old.
I joined Konoha and became a ninja.
How can I ask for pocket money? "
"But you're not an adult yet.
Konoha is 20 years old. "Sasuke wanted to be an adult as soon as possible.
"Isn't it 18 years old?" Naruto felt that he could get married at 20 years old.
"Or 21? It's pretty late anyway. "Sasuke hadn't paid much attention to the details of Konoha's new laws.
"Anyway, Ghostlight Shuiyue is still underage." Naruto poked Shuiyue with his elbow. "But she can already date. You've been on duty with Konoha's peers for the past few days. Have you taken a fancy to anyone? Let me introduce you. I know everyone in Konoha, and I know all of them. "
"Thank you. If I need anything, I will definitely ask you." Hozuki Mizuki admitted that he was a person who would do anything he wanted, but compared with Konoha's Crown Prince's brain circuit, it was really nothing.
"But Naruto, are you sure there's someone who's interested in that little b * tch Shuiyue?" Aromatic Phosphorus was a little absent-minded as she listened to the three boys bickering behind her. Was this really her life? She was afraid that one day she would wake up in the middle of the night and realize that everything was just a dream, an illusion. "Guys, do you want to watch a movie together?"
"Sure, sure." Gengetsu Shuiyue immediately assisted.
"No, forget it. It's Chinese New Year. I'm going back to spend time with my mom." Sasuke was a little taboo to be in the same team with Glasses, but he really became a teammate. What you like, what I like doesn't seem so important. "And if I go to the movies with you, I will be poisoned by my girlfriend. Their Medic Ninja Training Course already has poison production classes. "
"The main thing is, biting you won't cure the poison." Naruto was still disappointed that Sakura and Sasuke were dating. "Since we're not going to the movies, Aromatic Phosphorus, come with me to clean up the new house. No matter how nice Hatake's old house is, it's not as comfortable as Storm's house. Dad said that mom wants to move to the new house as soon as possible. I also want to move as soon as possible. "
Aromatic Phosphorus looked at Sasuke and didn't insist. Since she was already teammates with Sasuke, she would always have a chance. "Then let's go clean up the house."
So the four people and eight eyes looked at each other, and Captain Naruto announced that they were dismissed.
They watched Naruto and Aromatic Phosphorus go to Naruto's Rock, and watched Sasuke jump on the eaves and walk to Uchiha's main house. Gengetsu Shuiyue, who was left behind, also silently walked home. His single dormitory was considered home. Brother Zabuza's house was also considered home. "Brother Haku, are you home? I bought fried rice cakes. "
Momochi House
Shuiyue put down the half-processed herbs in his hand and opened the door to welcome Shuiyue. "How are you getting along with your new friends?"
"I think Brother Zabuza is right. Konoha is good in every way, but they are too arrogant to children." Shuiyue said so, but she was even more unconvinced. When he joined the team, he also learned from Sasuke and Naruto … Naruto was a Jonin and Force Of Human Column, so it was normal for him to be beaten. But Sasuke was a Genin, and he couldn't beat him.
"It seems that you are a little envious?" Haku gave Shuiyue a bowl of sweet soup. "Then be envious. Although I haven't lived in Kirigakure, I know that there is probably nothing to be nostalgic about. "
"Yeah." Shuiyue drank the sweet soup and looked at Haku's warm smile.
。
Haku continued to smile. "Don't worry, Brother Zabuza is a high-level member of Konoha, the captain of Fifth Daimyo Naruto's guard. In ancient times, we are also relatives of the emperor. "
"Yeah." Shuiyue picked up the beheading sword in the living room. Thanks to Naruto's security, this big thing was not easy to carry around, so he had the opportunity to practice his swordsmanship.
"Konoha is a place where you can live as long as you try your best." Haku helped Shuiyue open the door of the courtyard. The courtyard was Konoha's standard training ground.
"Yeah." Shuiyue listened to the sound of children chasing and playing in the street and began to practice his swordsmanship. Chinese New Year, Konoha … Orochimaru -sama returned to Konoha, so he had nowhere to go except Konoha.
At the same time, Uchiha House.
Sasuke returned home, but his mother was still not home.
At noon, Sasuke thought that his mother might have been called away by someone from the clan. His elder brother, the head of the clan, rarely came back, but he was busy in Naruto's house. Someone had to take care of the clan's affairs. Or did she go to the cemetery to give his father a New Year's gift? His mother had been talking about his father a lot lately. So when he came back from lunch, Sasuke did not see his mother, but he did not think too much about it.
A housewife had her own life and social circle. Both of his sons were not home, so why couldn't he let his mother go out and play? As for where to go? His elder brother did not tell his younger brother everything, and his younger brother did not tell his elder brother everything. So there was no need to dig into his mother's little secrets. He and his elder brother had even secretly discussed that they would support their mother even if she got a new boyfriend.
Although his mother was more likely to end up like Naruto's father, spending the rest of her life with an invisible husband.
"What a selfish man," Sasuke lit an incense stick for his dead father, and looked at the smoke and could not help but laugh.
He used to be so afraid of his father that he did not even dare to move or speak when his father was around. But now that his father was dead, he began to miss the days when he was beaten and scolded all day, and was punished to copy this and write that.
At least it was a complete home.
Sasuke originally thought that without his father, he still had his elder brother, his mother, himself, the flowers and grass in the backyard, the birds that chirped every morning, and the cats that ran all over Konoha … His life did not and should not change. But it was different in the end.
"This is what it means to grow up, Dad." Sasuke inserted the incense stick in his hand and learned from his mother to speak to his father's photo. "From today onwards, the Hatake Kakashi you hate the most will be the fifth generation head."
"…"
"I don't know if my mother has told you, but I have a girlfriend. She is my former teammate from Class 7, the pink-haired Sakura."
"…"
"Although my mother occasionally said that when Sakura and I fall in love, it is like playing house. If you were still alive, you probably would not have agreed to me marrying a commoner whose parents are ordinary villagers. But Sakura is the one who chased me the longest among all the girls who used to like me. It was so long that when I turned back, she was the only one left by my side. "
"…"
"Eddy Phosphorus does not count. Naruto's daughter is more like playing house than Sakura and I. "
"Work? I thought that if I joined Naruto's team, I would definitely be teased by Naruto. He would definitely jump on his feet and emphasize 1,000 times a day that he is a Jonin and I am a Genin. I have to listen to him. I would only be satisfied if I chased him all over Konoha. But Naruto did not say anything this time. He did not mention anything about Jonin and Genin. He only accepted my application, transferred me to his team, and then assigned me tasks. "
"…"
"Dad, Naruto is also growing up very quickly. He made a bold statement and vowed to protect Uncle Naruto. He does not want to rely on Kakashi. "
"I will also protect my mother well. Although my brother is good in many ways, the person by my mother's side is me. " Sasuke looked at the photo and chattered. Then, he lay on the floor and stretched his arms and legs … breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle, whatever. He wanted to do this since he was in kindergarten. Why should the young master of Naruto be able to roll on the floor while the young master of Uchiha could not? Why should all the children be childish huskies while the children of Uchiha have to be restrained. "Yes, dead old man. Since you are already dead, you can no longer protect your wife and children. Don't care about them anymore, right?"
He did not hear Uchiha Fugaku's response. Sasuke was not disappointed and continued to lie on the floor and pose until the sky was really dark. Sasuke's stomach growled as he woke up.
In the dark Uchiha residence. Sasuke got up and turned on all the lights in the house one by one … The kitchen, toilet, every bedroom, study, storeroom, fireplace, wardrobe, under the bed. Sasuke even went down with the family's secret key. Still, there was no one.
"Mom?"
Sasuke finally began to panic. Konoha's Shinobi was proud when she was a ninja, and she was also proud when she was a housewife. She was a self-disciplined Uchiha, and she wouldn't leave home to cook for her son at dinner time. Something went wrong!
Sasuke picked up his weapon bag and ran towards Naruto Tower. He knew that he should probably ask the other Uchiha first. The Uchiha had their own family patrol team. But Sasuke … trusted Konoha more.
The second young master did not care about the family's affairs, but he was no fool. He could tell from his father's funeral that the Uchiha were not united. They were not united when his father was alive, and they were even less united after his father's death.
But in the dark of the night at Naruto Tower.
The meeting continued from noon to night.
Hatake Kakashi looked at his teacher who had been dozing off since four o 'clock in the afternoon. He was a little worried. But he couldn't just adjourn the meeting and let his teacher rest. This was the last meeting between the new and old Naruto, and his teacher was one of the main characters. Moreover, the border station couldn't be away for too long. They had to hurry back after the meeting.
Konoha was now a big family. Except for the birth of a new Naruto, it might be a long time before they could gather so many people. And some things needed to be discussed clearly so that there wouldn't be any problems later.
Fortunately, most of the accounts had been accounted for. "Next topic."
"Yes, Yudaime-sama." The chief of staff did not know that Huo Xuanmen was presiding over the meeting. "It's about Tsunade Senju."
Listening to the discussion below, Kakashi secretly took a breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Thinking about the 60's, Konoha's collapse in the Chunin Exam. Thinking about the 62's, Payne's explosion in the Chunin Exam. Konoha always had an accident! And this time, it was great, there was no problem.
However.
"Naruto -sama, it's not good."
Kakashi looked at Uchiha Shisui who put his head close to his ear.
"Uchiha Sasuke reported that his mother, Mikoto Uchiha, is missing."
Kakashi was relieved. As long as it wasn't Mikoto Uchiha who suddenly burned and looted, it's okay if she disappeared. His teacher often disappeared when he was in a bad mood.
"Can't find her."
"…"
"Anbu, surveillance, defense barrier, all showed that Mikoto Uchiha didn't come out of the house today."
"Thor?"
"Four Generations' defense barrier can even detect Four Generations and your Thor."
"What's wrong, Yudaime-sama?"
Kakashi didn't know if this was a big or small matter, but he didn't want his teacher to worry. "Shisui asked if we want to eat dinner first."
"No, everyone, hold on."
"It's not a big problem that the retired Konoha elder doesn't want to live in Konoha. It's not that he's completely missing. But he didn't come back for such a big thing as the handover of the old and new Naruto. " Logistics Minister Hinata Hizashi was completely different from him. He received Watergate's signal and directly raised his hand to speak. "If he doesn't come back, then don't come back. At most, everyone will have some complaints. But Tsunade isn't a Konoha elder like Jiraiya-sama … Jiraiya is just Jiraiya, he doesn't have a surname. But Tsunade's surname is Senju! She's a direct descendant of Senju Hashirama who established the Konoha Ninja Village. Although the population of the Senju family is small now, few have the talent to become ninjas. But the Senju family's business in Konoha is not small after all these years. Isn't the one-third of the income given to Tsunade too much? "
"Reconsider." Head of the Security Minister Youjiwei couldn't stand it. "We can't let her squander money like eating, drinking, whoring and gambling."
"Tsunade-sensei didn't squander money." Mute Kato, as Yaoshi Dou's subordinate, shouldn't interrupt, but at this time, she couldn't not speak.
"Mute Kato, let's tell the truth and not deceive ourselves. Have you ever thought about why Konoha is so tolerant of your Sensei? It's because Sandaime-sama protects her. The Four Generations don't want to have any unnecessary conflicts with Sandaime-sama, and she's the world's most powerful medical ninja. In case something happens to someone in Konoha, she'll come back to save them. " Intelligence Minister Shikaku Nara also had something to say. "But these years, she's been taking Senju's dividends and Konoha's benefits. She hasn't made any contributions to the Senju family and hasn't saved anyone in Konoha. "
"But …"
"Senju Yamato, the Senju family elects Senju Yamato as the new head of the family." Watergate knocked on the table.
"You guys discussed this a long time ago."
"I invited her so many times, but she didn't come back." Kakashi finally understood that Sensei didn't make Yamato change his name on a whim.
Yamato, the new head of the Rain Country Station, Senju Yamato.
He was dumbfounded. Since he inherited Hashirama's Mokuton, it didn't matter if he was surnamed Senju. Since he was surnamed Senju, he was happy to ensure that the marginalized Senju children lived a happy life. But the head of the family? Him?
"Okay, let's start the voting. The minority obeys the majority. Deprive Hime Tsunade of her position as the acting head of the Senju family, and take back her dividends from the Senju family. " Huo Xuanmen took a deep breath. "Next, let's talk about the last topic of the meeting – the Station of the Country of Hot Water."
"We've turned Uchiha's main residence upside down, but we still haven't found it." Uchiha Shisui timely reported the latest situation to Kakashi.
"Then can we not look for it for now?" Kakashi hated Uchiha and thought that since Fugaku was dead, no one would drop the ball.
"The problem is how to tell Itachi." Shisui's intuition wasn't very good. "You know, Uchiha's matters can't withstand Itachi's scrutiny."
Kakashi finally frowned.
"Lord Fifth Generation Head, what exactly happened?"
"Nothing." Kakashi waved his hand at Sensei. "Shisui has a bit of diarrhea."
"Mute, Dou, one of you take a look at him." Listening to Kakashi's nonsense, Minato's heart that had been hanging for a whole day finally fell to the ground. He looked at Kina, who was floating above Kakashi and Shisui's heads and eavesdropping …
Kina Maelstrom was a bit dazed.
"Let me take a look at this red-eyed rabbit." Orochimaru winked at Watergate and rushed to Kina Maelstrom.
"Stop right there, Orochimaru." Watergate looked at Kina again. However, Kina still didn't respond. "Kina, what happened?"
Kina rolled her eyes at Orochimaru, who was gloating over her misfortune, and the room full of Konoha's higher-ups with different expressions. Finally, she went back to grab Watergate's ear. "Can you not be so suspicious? Shisui has a stomachache. He has a stomachache."
Pain and grief, extraordinary and ordinary
