Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 31 The Pessimist

Marutani Koko came to Sarutobi Hiruzen with a complaining mentality, but his spirit began to be in a trance after what the other party said.

When he recovered slowly, he found that he had left the Hokage Building and was walking on the street of the village.

It has to be said that although Sarutobi Hiruzen's explanation was a bit cruel, he was still able to convince himself. In addition, Marutani Koko didn't know the specific situation of the year, so he couldn't come up with a more reasonable solution for a while.

But Naruto Uzumaki became a victim after all, bearing the anger and hatred of all the injured villagers in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, which was unfair to him. Like the villagers, they were all victims of the accident.

"Hey."

Thinking of this, Marutani Kou couldn't help but sighed.

"What are you sighing for?"

A familiar voice suddenly appeared, startling Marutani Kou.

The young man calmed down, only to find that the elusive Uchiha Itachi had appeared in front of him again, but this time, the other party was holding a smaller "Mini Uchiha Itachi" in his hand , except for the absence of the tear grooves on both sides of the cheeks, the appearance of the two of them can be said to be exactly the same.

"Brother asked why you were sighing."

The mini version of Itachi stared dissatisfied at the person in front of him who kept looking at him, and repeated Uchiha Itachi's previous question.

"This is?"

"Oh, this is my younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, just call him Sasuke."

"Who is he from my brother?" Uchiha Sasuke clasped Itachi's little hand and asked curiously.

"Could be my friend." Although Itachi Uchiha is strong and is one of the best geniuses in the village, he is a bit awkward in interpersonal communication. Marutani Kou is already one of the few people he can chat with, so it is naturally considered Friend, "He is the protagonist in the story you heard before, Marutani Kou."

"Hi, hello, little Sasuke."

Marutani Koko wondered if he had some great luck recently, not only did Uzumaki Naruto personally send him to his door, he became his student in a daze, and in a blink of an eye Sasuke Uchiha appeared again, he was his future second thigh!

"Ah? That's it." Sasuke Uchiha watched Marutani Kou up and down, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "It looks like this."

"Hey, I'm standing by the side. I haven't left yet, okay? Can you be a little more tactful when you speak, it's very hurtful."

"Sasuke, you can't talk like that!" Uchiha Itachi skillfully reprimanded the boy for his rude behavior. It can be seen that it is obviously not the first time he has taught Sasuke like this, "Although we must be honest, sometimes we need some kindness lie."

"I see, brother!" Sasuke nodded seriously.

"You don't think I'm happy when you say that."

Uchiha Itachi ignored the boy's resentful eyes, bought a few strings of three-color meatballs from a small shop on the street, and handed one of them to Sasuke.

"Why did you sigh just now? Did you encounter any trouble? Or was it about that person last time?"

"No, no, no," Marutani Kou quickly waved his hand, "I have successfully resolved the matter last time."

"That's good, then why are you sighing?"

Uchiha Sasuke seems to have a deep relationship with Uchiha Itachi, and the hands they hold have never let go from the beginning.

"I'm thinking about a problem," this is not a kind of privacy, one more person is also a kind of thinking, Marutani Hang simply said the problem that troubled him, "I am thinking, when personal interests and collective interests When a conflict arises, can you come up with a result that is acceptable to both parties?"

"It has to be combined with the actual situation, and sometimes ideas are very subjective."

"Oh?"

"When a person's personal interests conflict with the collective interests, it means to a certain extent that one side must be correct, while the other side has gone astray. In my opinion, the best solution is to choose one of them. faction, and fight for it."

"Ah, here." Marutani Ko felt that Uchiha Itachi's thoughts were too pessimistic, "I think there should be a better solution."

"I don't know, but I think that as long as there are problems that cannot be resolved in a short period of time, the conflict will become more and more intense until it completely explodes."

The conversation between the two is still a bit out of line for the current Uchiha Sasuke. The boy was eating the three-color ball in his mouth, and he didn't understand his brother's meaning at all.

"Stop talking about that, let's talk about something happy, why did you go out with your brother today?"

Marutani Koko shook his head, the past has passed, and he just needs to take care of Naruto in the future. He originally went out this time to report loyalty to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and to verify his guess about Uzumaki Naruto’s identity, but I don't want to discuss these profound philosophical issues with others.

"A puppy that Sasuke liked very much passed away. I took him out for a stroll."

"Ah, this is not a happy thing."

"Life is like this, you never know which will come first, surprise or surprise."

"Are you some kind of philosopher?"

Several people were chatting and eating food, just when Marutani Kou planned to continue to get close to Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi suddenly raised his head and looked in one direction.

"what happened?"

Marutani Ko also followed the other party's line of sight, and was surprised to find a familiar figure rushing towards him.

The person who came also found the three of them and immediately called for help.

"Marutani Kou!!! Help!!!"

The conspicuous pineapple head has already proved his identity. It is Nara Shikamaru, the son of his master Nara Shikahisa.

Although he didn't know what happened, but seeing the other party's urgent appearance, Marutani Kou took a few steps forward and protected the boy behind him.

"What happened? Shikamaru, why are you here?"

Nara Shikamaru was panting heavily, pawing at his father's cheap student.

"My mother asked me to go shopping. On the way back, I met a strange man who insisted on dragging me across the road. I have been dragged across the road by him four times. Just now, I took advantage of the other party's lack of attention. Run away, if I don't go home again, I will definitely be beaten by my mother!"

"Who! It's so hateful!"

"There are such people in the village?" Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke also showed curious eyes.

Nara Shikamaru shivered as if recalling some terrible memory.

"It's a kid with blond hair, by the way, he has a beard on his face! He keeps muttering something, I want to do good things, I want to do good things, a strange spell!"

"Damn! There are still such people?! Eh? Wait a minute."

Marutani blinked.

Why does this person sound so familiar?
