I'm already used to the strange gazes.
However, Gaara still felt very uncomfortable being stared at the whole way out of the door. As a ninja who has killed people and seen blood, this kind of test exposed to the light of day is really a test of patience. But he's quite patient now, and he won't suddenly explode because of such a small thing. He's just in a bad mood.
It's a very simple bad mood. Especially after he walked into that damn Konoha Ninjas School.
Now he's blocked in his way. That's good.
At least they won't run when they see him from 20 meters away.
But it's still uncomfortable. Because the person who stopped him is a junior girl, and immediately, a circle formed around him and her. For the first time in his life, I Eero was openly watched. Do people in Konoha like to watch a show so much?
"I'm Eero senpai." Finally,
A low voice slid under my Eero's chin.
She's 14 years old.
I Eero, who has started to grow taller, lowered his head.
He saw the little girl's outstretched hand.
She was holding a pink envelope in her hand.
I Eero hesitated for 0.01 seconds.
He took it and then walked into the classroom without looking sideways. He tried to ignore the whispers of the little girls behind him. After all, when he decided to stand in the corridor with a bucket of water the day before yesterday, he knew that the people of Konoha might have a qualitative leap in their view of him, a foreign Force Of Human Column. But he really didn't expect that,
Things would develop in such a strange direction. Is Konoha really open to the point where girls and children are encouraged to write love letters to boys?
Konoha's female ninjas are all tough, regardless of age. This was what Jiraiya warned him about last year when he contacted Jiraiya. I Eero didn't believe him at that time, but now? It's better for him to keep a distance from them. Anyway, if he's not wrong about Naruto's thoughts.
It won't take long.
He'll be able to get away from this damn school. Therefore, it would be unwise to get into trouble at this time.
As for the letter … I, Eero, was already sitting in the last row of the classroom, ready to fall asleep as soon as the bell rang.
He still weighed the letter in his hand.
He picked it up and shone it under the light. Indeed, it was an empty envelope. There was nothing in it, and it didn't seem to contain any hidden messages. Eero frowned. If all his deductions were correct, this letter was most likely sent by Konoha's Black Ops to help him change his image. If a junior girl was not afraid of the Force Of Human Column, why would other people hide 20 meters away from him?
Eero sighed and looked up. He discreetly glanced at the boys around him, who were all looking at the envelopes expectantly. This confirmed his theory even more. Just look at how quickly things changed. Even those fellows who usually treated him as if he didn't exist dared to make a move. However, this letter would probably disappoint those who didn't know what sorrow was. Although it really looked like a love letter, but … since someone wanted to read it, then let them. I, Eero, opened the envelope and let the boys around him see clearly. A fragrant wind blew past, and there was really nothing inside.
But those who were looking at him from the side didn't think so. They had already fallen into a deep state of jealousy. It was rare that the few good-looking young masters from last year, who had good grades, good grades, and good family affairs, had all graduated to become genin. But who would have thought that this quiet outsider would actually become a competitor? They weren't Eero, who was born in the Land of the Wind. They grew up in the Land of Fire, which had a pleasant climate. In the Land of Fire, there are flowers blooming all year round, so for a child who is dedicated to growing up as a ninja, he has seen all kinds of flowers, and with his trained nose, it is not difficult for him to distinguish the different scents of flowers. Naturally, it was convenient for him to remember some flower words. Especially such a strong hyacinth, and it was a pink envelope — pink hyacinth — Adoration! Konoha had fewer female ninjas than male ninjas to begin with, and now the fertile water would flow to an outsider's field!
But what was the hurry? I, Eero, didn't have the habit of paying attention to flowers. Flowers couldn't be eaten. So, in his memory, this envelope would probably forever be a small tool prepared by Konoha's Anbu to complete their mission. I just don't know if I, Eero, would regret it if I, Eero, found out the truth one day. But that wasn't important. After all, it had nothing to do with life and death. Living was already important enough. There was no need to worry about other people's affairs, right? In short, I, Eero, wasn't in the mood to talk about these boring things. I probably won't have the time in the future either.
Because it was already the 15th of March. The Land of Fire's wedding procession was about to arrive.
Then, for such an important matter, the responsible Kazekage would definitely come. I, Eero, didn't want to see that person. That person was the Kazekage, his de facto father. But since there was still half a month before the political marriage that represented the victory would be settled, it meant that the necessary exchange of benefits had already been done.
As for what would happen to him as one of the conditions of the exchange? Of course, the Sand Ninja didn't want their weapon to be in the hands of others for a long time. And this weapon was probably repaired according to the contract made at that time. Even after all parties had deliberately downplayed it, no one brought up the accident that had happened in the past. So, there was no reason for this weapon not to return to the Land of the Wind. If the Kazekage asked Naruto for it.
And Naruto, that cunning guy, probably got what he wanted from him. There was no need to continue to provoke the fragile Kazekage for a weapon that they didn't need. So … I, Eero, sighed and looked out of the window. The tall trees and the wide and clean streets were there. Konoha was always bright. Not like the Sand Hidden, who wished they could never open their windows.
I, Eero, didn't deny that he really liked Konoha. Although the young master of the Naruto family was a little stupid, and his companions were a little cold to him, and the people on the street were a little afraid of him, but at least they didn't reject him like the Sand Ninja. As for not being able to leave the village, being constantly monitored and having no freedom? It seemed that the Sand Hidden went a little too far. At least, Konoha allowed him to wander around the streets. And he didn't have to sleep, because even if he fell asleep and the Shukaku seal on his body collapsed, someone would immediately take control of the situation. For example, his temporary guardian, the Konoha's Naruto -sama. Although that person always used him as a chess piece. But who wasn't a chess piece in someone else's hands? At least that person was good to him. And that damn Kakashi, although he was cruel and merciless and threatened him every day, he had a good reputation. As long as he cooperated with Konoha in a situation where his life wasn't in danger, Kakashi really taught him how to control the Shukaku seal without holding back.
I, Eero, continued to sigh. In fact, at the beginning, Kakashi also asked him if he wanted to stay in Konoha and be a Ninja. Konoha didn't reject rebellious Ninjas. Even the famous Ghostman Zabuza had surrendered. And the benefits were as good as the legends said. It was a pity that he didn't reply immediately, and Kakashi didn't mention it again.
Perhaps, Kakashi just casually mentioned it without discussing it with anyone. After all, he was Eero of Sandstorm, Ichibi's Force Of Human Column, and the son of the Kazekage. He wasn't an ordinary rebellious Ninja. The sun, the trees, the air, the food in Konoha … they wouldn't be his. He knew from the beginning that he couldn't even be a traitor … Naruto wouldn't allow it. A useless weapon that might affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, or a Kazekage heir who was close to Konoha? Even a fool would choose the latter. But I, Eero, didn't like that kind of future. But could he run away? He couldn't. Kakashi said that if he ran away, he would have to bear the consequences.
Konoha's Anbu Minister said that he would have to bear the consequences? I, Eero, admitted that he was a selfish person. Maybe there really were people in the world who were so great that they could give up their own life and happiness, and even the lives and happiness of their parents, wives, and children for the sake of the world. But I, Eero, knew that he wasn't. He wasn't even willing to give up himself. He was afraid of death. Very afraid. Because Naruto was right. Once a person had lived a comfortable life, it would be difficult for them to die for some random reason.
Once they understood it, it would be difficult to go back.
…
Konoha, Year 61, March 17
Country of Fire, Konoha, Naruto's Building, Anbu Minister's Office
"You haven't completely forgotten about me, have you?"
"Did I? Haven't you been tutoring at Konoha's school? "
"Are you sure it's tutoring and not goddamn duty?"
"I'm not sure."
Anyway, the above conversation came from Anbu Minister Kakashi, as well as the long-forgotten Peach Ground Zaizai.
The Peach Ground Will Never Be Severed didn't want to argue with Kakashi anymore. He had no choice but to lower his head. He sighed, pushed up his forehead protector to hide the veins on his forehead, and said calmly, "Anbu Minister, I'm here to report on my work."
"Hey, Zaizai, you don't have to be so serious." Kakashi showed a confused expression.
"Sir, please focus on your work." Zaizai ignored Kakashi's mocking tone and forced himself to get down to business. This Anbu Minister had no bottom line. "After evaluation, my Eero's self-control has improved to a certain level."
"Oh." Kakashi nodded. "Oh, I know. But what does this have to do with you?"
…
"Didn't you ask me to go to school to observe my Eero and prevent him from hurting anyone?!" Zaizai wasn't going to hold back anymore. He took off his mask and roared at Kakashi.
"Is that so?" Kakashi scratched his head. "I clearly sent two other teams to take turns looking after my Eero."
"Is that so? You're the Anbu Minister. Whatever you say goes. " Zaizai's words were normal. If he didn't roar, he would be happy to be a pawn, but if he kept playing with him, his The Peach Ground Will Never Be Severed … So be it. Since Haku liked Konoha so much, he would listen to Haku once more. Anyway, his salary was based on the missions he completed, and he didn't lose a penny. If Kakashi wanted to play with him, then let him play.
However, looking at Zabuza's sudden anger and sudden silence, Kakashi frowned. "Hey, brother, I'm just joking. Our Anbu is like this. Well, relax, please continue to go back to the Gakuin Academy to observe."
Sure enough … he was playing with him.
When Zaizai heard Kakashi's words, he put down the report in his hand and turned to leave. That bastard Kakashi. At first, he thought that the new recruit was a rebellious ninja, and that he wanted to test his strength, but the truth was that the bastard was playing with him!
After Zaizai left.
"Hahahaha."
"Sensei, although the joke is very happy, laughing for too long will lead to hypoxia." Kakashi stood up and took the document from Naruto's hand.
"Let me laugh for a while. I didn't come in vain today. But Kakashi, you're almost there. How can you show your strength to others for a year? I think Zaizai's character is good, and his mind is clear. It's almost there. "
"I'm just joking. When I see Zaizai, I want to joke with him." Kakashi poured a glass of water for his sensei. "What's the matter? Why didn't you call me?"
Watergate blinked and pointed to the document Kakashi took away. He sat down and drank water. "Memorize all of them. Three days later, you'll go with me to the National Capital for a meeting. We have to prepare in advance with the officials of the National Capital for the joint negotiations after the wedding."
"Isn't Itachi going with you?" Kakashi looked at the thick bag of documents and frowned.
"Itachi will also go, but this time, he'll be familiar with the environment." Watergate saw Kakashi's frown and also frowned. "Do you have a problem?"
"No, sensei." Kakashi quickly shook his head. "Are we still going to Thor?"
"Well, we'll save as much as we can. I'll take the time to see the Emperor. After all, he's the one getting married. If I can't deal with the child, things will be more troublesome. " Minato smiled. "By the way, I'm determined not to accept anyone's toast this time. Since my reputation of being weak and sickly has already spread, it would be a waste of all the stomach medicine I've taken if I don't make good use of it. This time, you'll be responsible for drinking those who get in the way for me. Don't play tricks and use Genjutsu. Not all Fire Country ninjas belong to Konoha. Do you understand? "
"Yes, sensei." Kakashi felt that he couldn't say anything except nodding.
"Can't you be a little happier?" Watergate patted the weak Kakashi's shoulder. "Okay, I know what you want to say. Naruto came to you to sound me out, right? "
"Sensei – it's about time. Yamato also said that he's confident that he can lead this class well. "
"I know." Watergate patted Kakashi's shoulder again. "I know. That silly child, every night, he reads the postcards Jiraiya sent him over and over again. He's just like his mother. He's not someone who can sit still. "
"Yes." Kakashi looked at his sensei's dim eyes and felt a little uncomfortable. "Sensei, Naruto can't stay in Konoha for the rest of his life. Nine Tails can't stay in his body forever. I know you don't want to. But we can't delay any longer. We can't arrange everything for him. "
"I know." Watergate forced a smile at Kakashi. "Naruto also doesn't like a life arranged by his father. I know. By the way, today's weather is good. I'll go for a walk and bask in the sun. Don't let anyone follow me. "
"Yes, sensei." Kakashi nodded and watched his sensei disappear. It was now 1: 55 in the afternoon. His sensei didn't take a nap today.
Bo Fung Watergate was indeed walking. As he walked, he saw the memorial tablet. The area around the Soul Comfort Monument at noon was always so empty. Watergate sighed. He felt a little wronged. His eyes were filled with Naruto's drooling face while holding the postcards at night. Silly child, no matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as home.
Anyway, Watergate really didn't like places outside of Konoha. He didn't like the sand in the Sand Country, because once you stepped into the quicksand, you couldn't get out. His teammates died there. He also didn't like the sea in the Water Country. The waves were turbulent, and some of his teammates died if he wasn't careful. He didn't like the highlands in the Snow Country. He once had a friend who was investigating in the snow. Because he couldn't move, he was firmly frozen into a snowman. Other places? Even the National Capital in the Soup Country was dangerous. Some people died in the line of duty. There was also the Force Of Human Column. Kakashi was also a silly child. Now the Fire Country and Konoha had one more Force Of Human Column and one less Force Of Human Column. What's the difference? Let's not talk about other things. Naruto was already so resentful about the few beards on his face. If he knew that he could grow a tail … Watergate suddenly laughed. Although it wasn't good to think of his son like this, Naruto with a tail … He sighed and patted his face, as if this could cheer him up. Bo Fung Watergate, you fool, think of the right things. Look at the blue sky and white clouds above your head. Listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. Don't you feel the warmth of the sun?
After an unknown amount of time, Bo Fung Watergate finally relaxed. He decided that since he was already here, he might as well go and see Kina. But just as he approached the stone from the year 48 in Konoha, he felt a person's presence. Watergate immediately wanted to leave, but that person didn't seem to want to let him go.
"Four Generations."
"Ah, Sandaime-sama."
Then there was silence …
Bo Fung Watergate looked in front of him from afar, and his heart was filled with irritation. The person he didn't want to see the most was in front of him, and he was shorter than him. He couldn't even lower his head and not look at him.
Sarutobi raised his head and looked at Watergate without any discomfort. In fact, he noticed Watergate as soon as he got close to the memorial tablet. He wanted to avoid him, but it had been a long time since he took a good look at the silent child in front of him. He had been thinking about Xiaochun's words for the past few days. Whether or not she was right, he had indeed overlooked a lot of things. For example, Asma, his son. For example, this kid named Bo Fung Watergate. No matter what, he was his grand-disciple, Jiraiya's disciple.
"Little Watergate, take care of yourself. If you're tired, rest. Don't push yourself too hard. "
"Thank you for your concern, but it's a pity that when I think about work, I feel like I have endless energy." Watergate smiled, and at the same time, his brain began to work quickly. What was Sandaime-sama trying to do?
When Sandaime-sama heard Watergate's answer, he didn't know what he was trying to do. He just felt a little sour in his heart.
Watergate saw that Sandaime-sama didn't say anything, so he immediately said, "Sandaime-sama, it's noon. You must be in a good mood."
"Ah, I'm here to pay my respects to Danzō, but my eyes haven't been working well lately. I can't find his name."
"Danzō? Who's that? Is there such a person in Konoha? "
"Watergate!" Sandaime-sama saw the confusion in Bo Fung Watergate's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Well, if you don't have anything else, you can go back. I want to talk to Kina. I don't think Kina would like to see you."
Sandaime-sama didn't say anything. He just hid his presence and wanted to look for "Shimura Danzō", but when he turned around, his heart was in turmoil. Bo Fung Watergate was looking at Kina Maelstrom's name and smiling foolishly to himself.
