Naruto's strongest swordsman

Chapter 4 Uncle?Hatake?
For Nangong Zhe, fifteen days passed too quickly.

During the day, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, stay at home and sit quietly, thinking about the way of swordsmanship and tempering internal strength.

In the evening, I went to practice swords in the woods behind the house.

Although fifteen days is not long or short, compared to working in a blacksmith's shop and squeezing out time to practice swords, I don't know how much better it is.

But after all, he was practicing alone, and there were many difficulties, but Nangongzhe himself had many vague memories of the past.

Therefore, Nangong Zhe could only cross the river by feeling the stones, relying on the essence of the sword intent on the black sword and the internal force that spontaneously circulated in his body to practice slowly.

Brother and sister Nangongzhe lived in a relatively remote town, otherwise Nangongzhe would not have enough money to pay the rent.

So every time Nangongzhe went to work in the blacksmith shop, he had to get up early, but what was different from the past was that on the first day of work, Nangong Rou had to go to the blacksmith shop with his brother.

Really unable to bear the verbal bombardment of his sister, Nangong Zhe could only hold his sister's hand to the blacksmith shop with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"It's over, it's over... This time, uncle must laugh at me to death."

"He always said I was a sister-con."

"I don't know how long he's going to tease me now..."

Turning his head slightly, Nangong Zhe muttered.

Seeing Nangongzhe's appearance, Nangongrou couldn't help but shook Nangongzhe's hand tightly.

"Why are you... muttering, you must not have said anything good."

"You don't want me to come with you..."

"Can't you be proud of having such a lovely sister?"

"Humph……"

Nangong Zhe was even more embarrassed when he heard his sister's words...

When did my sister awaken this attribute?
Why didn't I notice it at all?
"Where can it be, right?"

"How much face can my sister come with me, okay, okay, don't be angry, brother's work is coming soon."

Nangongzhe subconsciously felt that if he didn't go and laugh with him, the consequences would be extremely miserable, so he could only compliment him in embarrassment.

"Hmph... my brother is a liar."

"Forget it, I'll save some face for you."

For some reason, Nangong Rou's small face was slowly covered with a layer of pink, bright and warm, accompanied by the slight mist and soft morning light in the morning, forming a beautiful picture.

Nangong Zhe couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Seeing his brother's appearance, Nangong Rou became even more ashamed, and tugged Nangong Zhe's arm hard.

"Let's go... what are you doing?"

Nangong Zhe finally woke up with a start, and a sense of guilt welled up in his heart. After all, Nangong Rou was his sister but he...

Could it be that he is really the sister-in-law that the uncle said?

Patting his face vigorously with both hands, trying to wake himself up, Nangong Zhe finally walked into the blacksmith shop.

"Oh...Xiao Zhe, you are here."

The uncle happened to be sitting in the lobby of the blacksmith shop, saw Nangong Zhe come in to say hello, and suddenly found Nangong Rou standing behind Nangong Zhe.

"Xiao Zhe, look... what I said..."

Before the boss finished speaking, Nan Gongzhe quickly covered the uncle's mouth, dragged him and ran to the back hall, calling his sister to rest in the lobby while pulling.

Pulling the boss to the back, as expected, the boss started all kinds of talk of his own, molesting Nangong Zhe's sister-controlling attribute awakening.

But Nangong Zhe didn't hear anything, just looked at the objects on the table in the back hall.

The boss finally found out that his various rhetoric did not have the effect he imagined, so he stopped.

Following Nangong Zhe's line of sight, he saw the things on the table.

"Xiao Zhe... let me tell you something serious."

"Oh? Will uncle still have serious business?"

"Hey, hey, hey... I'm going to sue you for slander..."

"Uncle, where did you learn that?"

"I don't know, before I knew it... Wait, why is the building crooked again... Don't open your mouth and don't speak... I know you're going to complain again, so listen to me first."

The conversation between Nangongzhe and the uncle has always been like this, but seeing the serious look of the uncle suddenly appeared, Nangongzhe also knew that the quarrel could not continue, and nodded lightly to show that he knew.

"Hmm... let's talk about business..."

"Xiao Zhe, I have seen your hard work all the time."

"Not only your performance in the blacksmith shop, but also your practice of swords in the woods behind the house at night."

"Don't look frightened... After all, I found a house for you, and I still know some things."

"I know Xiaozhe, you must be working so hard to go to Konoha and become an official villager. Life is not easy for you and your sister. It is a great thing to be an official villager."

"So... I want to help you."

As he spoke, he picked up the things on the table, and at the same time took out an envelope from his pocket.

"I made this gauntlet for you. I have observed your swordsmanship... and considering that the formal four-foot sword is too long for you, I made this gauntlet for you. It is better than your usual Wouldn't it be better to practice sword with a piece of rags or leather?"

"This letter is my letter of recommendation for you."

"Uncle, although I am not a ninja, I am actually from a ninja family."

"Uncle's family can be considered a moderately famous family."

"You take the letter that uncle gave you. People in the family believe that they will also give uncle face and arrange for you to join Konoha."

"Uncle has no children. Uncle is very happy when you two are with him."

"But I understand in my heart that your future is not here, and you can go further."

"Let's go... let's go to the front hall, Xiaorou is still waiting there."

What the blacksmith uncle said made Nangongzhe look dumbfounded...

Nangongzhe thought that he was hiding well, but the uncle touched him clean. Although it didn't have much impact, the impact was unavoidably too great.

As he was walking, the uncle suddenly turned his head, looked at Nangongzhe who was stunned in place, and grinned.

"By the way, I keep calling you Uncle Uncle, do you still remember my name..."

"Well, I definitely don't remember..."

"Uncle, my surname is Hatake!"

After a long time, the uncle may have gone to the front hall to take care of his sister, and Nan Gongzhe finally recovered.

Hugging the slightly cold gauntlet in his arms, an inexplicable emotion lingered in his heart.

Uncle Hatake's kindness to him is sincere and has no utilitarian meaning.

This feeling Nangongzhe felt extraordinarily warm.

but……

Nangong Zhe has a bigger goal, rather than becoming a blacksmith for the rest of his life.

This difficulty has no solution.
