Autumn went and winter came, and in the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Wood Leaf, December 31, Year 56.
After enjoying a sumptuous dinner with Moonlight, Hoshino, Keiko, his little brother and Karin, the whole family split up neatly.
His younger brother went to find Early In The Morning, Karin took Hinata next door to the Uchiha Clan to find Sasuke, while Keiko and Hoshino held hands and walked on the road to spread dog food.
Cold Wind didn't want to be outdone, so he took a dozen pounds of crayfish and sake from the Izakaya and went to find Empress Shōmei to drink.
After several months of hard work, Cold Wind succeeded in getting closer to Empress Shōmei as a drinking buddy, and they became good friends.
Of course, Cold Wind never believed that there was a pure friendship between men and women. For this reason, he didn't hesitate to take risks and "drive" several times after drinking. Unfortunately, Cheng Yaoqing always appeared halfway, making him helpless.
When he arrived at the backyard of the Ichigo Hot Spring, as expected, Empress Shōmei was sitting alone on the roof, drinking and looking at the stars.
She has been in Wood Leaf for half a year, but the task given to her by Elder Motoshi hasn't been completed. She saw that Wood Leaf wanted to deal with the death of Yondaime Mizukage and the disappearance of Sanbi Isobu, so she wrote a letter to Motoshi expressing her desire to return to the Mist Village. However, Motoshi refused and kept writing letters to comfort and encourage her. Empress Shōmei was very uncomfortable.
At this time, his good friend Cold Wind, who had been drinking, arrived!
"Why is it you again?" Empress Shōmei rolled her eyes, but her hand didn't hesitate to take the crayfish from Cold Wind's hand and eat it. The spicy smell went straight to her nose, and Empress Shōmei sneezed twice.
"Happy New Year." Cold Wind smiled.
"Thank you for coming to accompany me, but unfortunately, my home is not here." Empress Shōmei was a little sad and drank two more glasses of wine.
Cold Wind subconsciously wanted to drive, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ao's figure.
He sat silently at the stone table in the small courtyard like a ghost, but his eyes were staring at the roof as if he was guarding against a wolf.
Why did he come so early today?
Cold Wind was angry, and deliberately asked loudly, "Empress Shōmei, who else is in your family?"
Checking household registration was the most annoying way for girls to chat. Han Feng hoped that Qing could learn it. For this, he had even prepared a whole set of questions!
Do you have a house?
Do you have a car?
Do you have savings?
How much is your monthly salary?
How many exes?
Degree … of course, of course, of course, of course!
"It's only me.." Empress Shōmei's eyes were lonely, and she stretched out her slender hand to stroke her hair. The fragrance of her hair mixed with the smell of alcohol slowly filled the air.
Cold Wind was a little distressed, but for Ao's future, he continued to ask, "Do you have a house?"
Empress Shōmei was drunk, so she naturally answered, "Of course, my parents left me a villa."
"Do you have a car?" Cold Wind continued to ask, and he noticed that Ao seemed to be eavesdropping on them.
"A car? A carriage? As a ninja, how can I sit in that kind of thing. "Empress Shōmei burped, and her expression was faintly impatient.
"How much is your monthly salary? Do you have savings? How many exes? Why did you break up? Did you still contact each other after breaking up? "Cold Wind continued to ask questions.
"… Hey, why do you keep asking these nonsensical questions?" Empress Shōmei slapped the wine bottle.
Even if she was drunk, she was instinctively disgusted by these questions.
Cold Wind covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "In fact, Ao asked me to ask these questions."
"Ao?"
Empress Shōmei turned her head and saw Ao sitting at the stone table in the courtyard with a serious expression on his face.
Ao was indeed eavesdropping on Cold Wind's conversation, but he didn't hear the last sentence of Cold Wind, but he instinctively felt a deep malice coming from the roof.
Moonlight Cold Wind, you bastard, must be talking bad about me in front of Empress Shōmei!
Ao's heart was flustered, anxious, hateful, and uncomfortable!
At this time, a Mist Ninja suddenly rushed in from outside, "Empress Shōmei -sama, Ao -sama, there is a letter from the village."
"Letter? Give it to me. "Empress Shōmei stretched out her hand.
The Mist Ninja flashed a few times on the roof and handed the letter to Empress Shōmei.
Empress Shōmei opened the envelope in a daze and read it under the moonlight.
The letter was sent by Elder Motoshi, who held the power of the Mist village. It started with comfort and encouragement, and then it said that the village received a letter from the Fourth Naruto, Po Shui Mun, saying that there is a joint Chunin selection competition. Elder Motoshi considered for a long time and decided to accept this proposal, and hoped that Empress Shōmei could help Wood Leaf's contestants. At the end of the letter, there was a list of contestants, and the first one was Onizuki Suigetsu.
Empress Shōmei seemed to be sober.
Joint Chunin Selection Competition?
What the hell is Wood Leaf doing?
She looked at Cold Wind suspiciously and asked about this matter.
When Han Feng heard this, he was also dumbfounded, and then he felt a burst of sadness!
Such an important thing, and Po Shui Mun didn't even tell him!
Break up!
…
Of course, it's impossible to break up.
The next day.
Wood Leaf, year 57, January 1.
Cold Wind rushed to Naruto's house early, but Po Shui Mun was on vacation, so he had to go to his house.
There were two huge pine trees in front of Po Shui Mun's house, and Naruto was holding a broom and leaning on the pine tree. It seems that Shinna Kushina asked Naruto to get up early to clean the snow, and the result …
Cough.
Cold Wind coughed and shouted: "Shinna Kushina -san!"
"Ah!"
Naruto jumped up from the ground. "Mom! I'm not lazy or sleeping, I'm just … "
Naruto looked around nervously, and sweat flowed down.
"Huh!"
He didn't see his mother, and it was a false alarm. Naruto let out a long sigh of relief, and then looked at the culprit with grief and indignation.
"Cold Wind, Sensei, you're too much …" Naruto swore to himself that he would draw a line between himself and this bad guy. If I speak to him again and call him Sensei, I'll clean the snow on this street!
"I'll treat you to ramen later," Cold Wind said with a smile.
"Really? Cold Wind, Sensei! "Naruto was overjoyed, and immediately dragged the broom to clean up the snow.
He knocked on the door and entered.
Shinna Kushina and Po Shui Mun were cleaning the house.
Most people would clean up a few days ago, but Po Shui Mun was Naruto, and he was busy until last night. Shinna Kushina was also busy, and Naruto couldn't be expected to clean the house. Although he could let the Shadow Clone clean, it wouldn't be like the New Year.
"Naruto -sama, Shinna Kushina -san." Cold Wind smiled. "Happy New Year."
Po Shui Mun was wearing a paper hat made of newspaper, holding a feather duster, and a scarf. When he saw Cold Wind come in, he immediately invited him warmly: "Cold Wind, you came at the right time, come and clean with us!"
"Hahaha …"
It was a bad time.
Han Feng took the feather duster with a forced smile and began to wipe it. At the same time, he asked about the Chunin Joint Selection Exam.
"I wanted to wait until after the New Year to inform everyone, but I didn't expect you to know in advance."
Po Shui Mun said while busy, "Sand Hidden Village, Waterfall Hidden Village, and Grass Hidden Village have agreed to hold this Chunin Joint Selection Exam with our village … Yesterday, I received a letter from Mist Hidden Village. They were also willing to participate, which was somewhat beyond my expectations … but Otogakure refused."
Otogakure …
Did I hear that right?
Cold Wind was shocked, "Naruto -sama, when did Otogakure emerge?"
"Oh, this Ninja Village appeared in the second half of the year, in the Land of Rice." Namikaze Minato said casually, "Because it was established not long ago, they rejected my proposal. However, the Daimyo of the Land of Rice said that Otogakure will send someone to participate in the next Chunin Joint Selection Examination."
Cold Wind nodded subconsciously.
The next Chunin Joint Selection Exam should be three years later in the year 60 of Wood Leaf.
However, Otogakure … Orochi Maru …
Cold Wind's eyes sparkled, I didn't expect you to establish Otogakure in the Land of Rice …
That's great, I must go home often in the future … Bah, I will go to your house often.
Although Orochi Maru's people are not good, their vision is very good. Yakushi Kabuto, Libra Jugo, Kimimaro, and Karin are all Orochi Maru's people in the original work. In addition to these people, there are also Hozuki Suigetsu, Uchiha Shin, Red Lotus, and others. Of course, what Cold Wind wants most at present is Uchiha Shin!
I hope to find your trace in Otogakure, looking forward to it.
