Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 131 The Return
"This is the last place to investigate."

The sky was dark, the moon hung alone in the sky, and the three members of the mission team stood expressionlessly in front of an ordinary-looking wooden house.

Under the cover of the forehead, Kakashi turned one eye to observe the situation around the wooden house, Itachi lowered his head on the map to confirm whether the location was wrong, and Marutani Kou yawned boredly.

"No one, I've confirmed it." The boy reached out and scratched his hair.

"Then go and open the door."

After receiving Kakashi's order, Marutani Kou stepped forward and pushed open the door of the wooden house without any disturbance in his heart.

The dilapidated wooden door was opened, and as Marutani Kou expected, there was no one in the wooden house, the messy furniture on the ground and the dust covered in every corner proved the fact that no one had lived here for a long time.

"It's fake again." After seeing the situation in the house, Itachi took out a pen and drew a line on the map.

"Is this the end?" Marutani Kou hurried out of the house holding his nose, the dust in the wooden house was too pungent.

"Yes," Itachi revisited the map, and all the places with written records on it have been marked, and it seems that there should be no fish that slipped through the net. "We have investigated all the places."

"Okay," Kakashi helped the forehead on his head, swept the wooden house again, turned around after completely eliminating doubts, "it's getting late, we'll rest here for the night today, tomorrow Start your journey back in the morning."

Hearing Kakashi's words, Marutani Kou let out a long sigh of relief.

Are you finally going back?
It has been three months since the first secret base of Orochimaru last time. After the three separated, Marutani Kou and Kakashi started the two-person mission journey. Itachi also rushed over within a few days. It came up, but the results of the three people's subsequent investigations were somewhat disappointing.

After three full months of investigation, no valuable real location was found.

The clues provided on the map were either originally irrelevant to Orochimaru, or were completely destroyed when Orochimaru left without leaving any evidence. In the end, only the first discovered secret base had certain research and investigation value.

During this process, Marutani Kou’s mood also changed from being nervous and excited in the first month to becoming calmer and calmer as time went by. Orochimaru, who was originally scared, didn’t even have a shadow, let alone a person. See you.

The investigation of the wooden house is over, and this mission is finally coming to an end.

However, although the second half of the mission has no meaning for the village, it just eliminates some wrong information, but this journey has benefited Marutani Kou himself a lot.

The points of income mainly come from the teachings of Kakashi and Itachi.

Due to the boredom of the journey, Marutani Kou would often start practicing his taijutsu and various ninjutsu during the rest time, and at such times, Kakashi and Itachi would come together and start pointing out the boy's skills.

Especially Kakashi, during these three months of getting along, Marutani Kou discovered that although he looks like a very indifferent man from the outside, he always deliberately keeps a considerable distance from others, but in fact, Kakashi is a "male mother" who cares about his teammates very much.

At the first secret base, Koko Marutani sacrificed most of his chakra in order to rescue Kakashi. On him, and not only that, he would find all kinds of reasons every day to let Marutani Hang show his level in front of him, and then point out the boy's mistakes and correct his actions while ridiculing and mocking.

Kakashi is actually a very kind person.

"Don't look at me like that."

Kakashi noticed the fiery gaze cast from the corner, and looked away uncomfortably.

"Oh oh oh, shy, shy!"

"boom."

Early the next morning, Marutani Koko started the journey back to the village with the newly swollen bag on his head.

Time passed day by day, and the three finally returned to the village in a hurry, and saw their little friends waiting for them at the door.

Since Itachi used the psychic beast crow to convey the message back to Konoha a few days ago, many people were ready to welcome him.

"Teacher teacher!"

Naruto sat on Maitkai's shoulders, climbed up and looked into the distance, and was the first to spot the figures of the three, and excitedly shook his hand towards them.

"Yo! Kakashi!" Maitkai, who saw Kakashi raised his thick eyebrows, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly at the white-haired man, "You're finally back! I'm about to die of suffocation! Come to the duel! Xiao Li! You have to watch carefully during the duel, Kakashi is my old enemy!"

"Yes!" Xiao Li, who had been following Maitekai, also came to the scene.

"Brother!" Uchiha Sasuke stood on the edge of the team, saw the figure he missed every day, and finally couldn't hold back, and rushed up immediately, hugging Itachi's body tightly.

"Hey, why did I come here?"

Shikamaru was forcibly sent by Shikahisa Nara as a representative. Looking at the happy crowd, although his mouth was making complaints, the corners of his mouth also rose slightly.

"Be happy, Shikamaru." As Shikamaru's little follower, how could Shikamaru appear in less places?He still holds his favorite food in his hand, enjoying it happily.

The Hyuga Clan also sent representatives, and it took half a day. Neji, with a very upright attitude, respectfully handed over sweet spring water to the three who had just experienced the journey.

"Welcome back."

"Thank you."

Most of the people that Marutani knew appeared at the scene. Although the welcome ceremony was simple, it was heartwarming.

Kakashi needed to report the results of the mission to the village, so he left alone and moved towards the Hokage Building. Seeing Kakashi leaving, Maitekai and Xiao Li immediately followed.

Itachi also wanted to return to the family first, but he kept Sasuke and threw it directly to Marutani Kou, letting him take care of it for a while.

"Teacher, teacher!" Maitkai left, but Naruto did not lose his "mount", and transferred from Maitkai's shoulder to Marutani Hang's shoulder, "You have been away for so long, have you experienced a lot along the way? It's a magical story, like killing a dragon, saving the country and marrying a princess!"

"I don't have the ability to do such a dangerous thing!"

"Eh?"

"However, there were indeed some interesting stories on the road." Seeing the frustrated and disappointed expressions on the faces of the children, Marutani Koko smiled helplessly, "How about I tell you a few stories now?"

"I want to hear, I want to hear!"

Naruto was the first to respond, and Choji also excitedly raised the snacks in his hands to cheer everyone up.

"It must be boring, just a story about lying to children."

Everyone's emotions began to become high, and only Sasuke was still fighting for the fight, but it could still be seen from his beating eyes that the boy was actually very interested in things outside.

Naruto noticed the twisted boy, jumped off Marutani Kou's body with a bright expression, and put his hand on Sasuke's body.

"Okay, Sasuke, come and listen together."

"Hmph, okay."

So, Marutani Ko led a group of children to find a small park with no one in the village. Everyone sat on a bench and started Marutani Koko's story time.
