Konoha's Destiny Twins

After leaving Ibixi's home, Qingshui finally breathed a sigh of relief and had finally arranged everything before this long journey.

Being so light, he arrived at the highest point in Konoha - Hokage Rock. He had stood here several times in the past and looked at the entire Konoha Village.

When everything returned to calm again, it seemed that except for the statue of a new Hokage on the Hokage Rock, the entire Konoha Village was no different from before the Third Ninja War.

Looking at the lifelike statue of Orochimaru, even Qingshui had to praise: "It looks quite similar."

The pair of snake eyes and the faint smile on the corner of the mouth are quite expressive.

"Qingshui seems to have not been here for a long time."

It's Satomi!

Satomi, who was dressed as a ninja, also came to the highest point of Konoha. She walked to Qingshui and stood side by side with him.

"Yes, I am indeed a bit... busy." Qing Shui asked curiously, "Do you come here often?"

Qingshui came here out of habit. For many years, he had the habit of blowing in the wind and being in a daze.

What about Satomi?

"Occasionally, I come here to take a look when I have nothing to do." The gentle breeze of late summer caressed her hair, and the girl's soft voice continued, "I'm just curious sometimes, what is Qing Shui looking at here?"

At night, looking into the distance from this vantage point of Konoha, you can have a panoramic view of the dimly lit, peaceful Konoha.

However, this simple scenery is obviously not the scope of discussion between the two people.

"Here... you can see yourself clearly."

"It's just like what Hizashi-senpai said, Shimizu, you always seem to be worried."

Qingshui suddenly realized that during Kirigakure's last operation, Hizashi came to test his identity!

I just don’t know if this is Hizashi’s own initiative or the expectation of the girl in front of him?

"It's precisely this kind of you that can achieve everything you have today."

"actually, I……"

Qing Shui didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Huh?!" Those ethereal, magnificent eyes with powerful blood inheritance boundaries looked over curiously.

Qing Shui turned his head and met the girl's eyes.

Because of the close distance, he could even feel a little bit of the heat from the other person's breath.

"Maybe after these few months, I won't be so busy anymore."

"Qingshui, you seem to lie to people a lot."

Which bastard spread such malicious rumors in the village? !

Seeing Qing Shui's confused face, Satomi immediately smiled sweetly: "I lied to you."

This time, Qing Shui was stunned.

After a long while, he explained: "After this summer, many things... will have a result."

Whether it's good or bad, life or death, everything will surely settle down after this summer.

"So..." Satomi looked at the quiet and peaceful Konoha under the Hokage Rock again, "The elders in the family speak highly of you. They all say that you can create an era greater than the first Hokage."

Are you comparing him directly to the First Hokage because you think he can defeat the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki?

Perhaps it's because they are also supporters of Orochimaru's grand plan, and to achieve that great feat, it is inseparable from the full support of people like Shimizu, who can crush all the masters in the ninja world with absolute strength.

Creating an era or something...these illusory futures have never been in Qingshui's consideration.

He could only think of those he wished to protect from war.

And to do all this, what is needed is an absolutely powerful Konoha and becoming an unparalleled strong man.

"They think too highly of me."

"Qingshui, do you feel stressed?"

"I don't care what other people think..." Qing Shui shook his head. He didn't care about this false reputation. It was just the strength of the First Hokage. I'm afraid no one could get a glimpse of the witnesses of this era except those old immortals. Come on.

That was the man who defeated Madara in his full glory with absolute strength in a frontal battlefield!

"It's just that my strength is indeed not enough. Last time I relied on opportunism to win the fourth generation Raikage by chance."

When mentioning the last Kirigakure operation, Satomi immediately thought of another thing.

"By the way Qingshui, during the last operation against Kirigakure, I discovered Obito and Lin..."

"Ah, I know." Qing Shui nodded, "Orochimaru has already told me."

"I haven't seen them for a long time..."

As the two brats had always been close to Qingshui, Satomi was naturally familiar with them, and ever since she learned that they had defected to Konoha, the girl had felt sorry for them.

"Intelligence from Konoha's Anbu shows that they are doing pretty well." Qingshui then asked, "But you, why did you go to the front line again?"

"During that period, there was really no manpower in the family. The situation at that time was very critical, so I had to go back." Satomi sighed softly, "And after the mission was over, they and the Hokage said that the orphanage was not suitable I."

Today's Konoha Orphanage has been controlled by Gen ever since the pharmacist Noono U became the director.

Shimizu naturally hoped that Satomi would not be disturbed by Gen, so he naturally contributed to the situation where she could not return to the orphanage.

"It's really not suitable."

"Why do you all say that?" Rimi asked curiously.

The girl mistakenly thought for a moment that she was not doing well enough.

"Yakushi Nonou is a person with roots."

"Ah..." Satomi exclaimed in a low voice.

"I can't believe that such an amiable person is actually a ninja of Gen."

The girl nodded subconsciously.

"Not just him, there are many people who have received training from Gen, such as the Yakushi Kabuto who often pesters you."

Of course, Satomi would not doubt Qingshui's words. She just widened her eyes and was quite shocked.

"Today's orphanage has become a restricted area for Gen. If you go there..." Qingshui did not continue. Satomi naturally knew about Gen's notorious misdeeds, so he continued to ask, "Then you will go on Plans to go down?”

"Hokage-sama suggested that I become the teacher of this new graduating class of genin."

"It's a good proposal."

This is actually what Shimizu means. If you want to return to the career of a ninja, then becoming a teacher for newly graduated genin is also a good choice, because it means that you no longer need to face those high-risk tasks.

"I'm still thinking about..."

"Do you have a favorite goal?"

"Maybe it would be good to be a teacher at a ninja school?"

"Do you like children very much?"

Satomi shook her head: "It's just that sometimes when I see them, it's like seeing He Yun."

Hinata and Kumo, once a genius jounin of the Hyuga clan and Satomi's younger brother, had died in the Third Ninja War.

Although several years have passed since this incident, and the sadness has gradually faded with the passage of time, the wound in my heart may take a lifetime to heal.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. The war is over." There was unconcealable pain in the faint smile.

"Well, everything is over."

"Why don't you, Shimizu, help me find out whether you want to be a teacher at a ninja school or a genin class teacher?"

"Teacher of the genin class."

"Sure enough..." Satomi confirmed, "I knew this was what you arranged for me, Qingshui."

"How is that possible?" Although he didn't know how the girl came to the conclusion, Qing Shui would never admit it. "This is just my personal suggestion."

The next moment, his white pearl-like eyes stared straight at Qing Shui.

"How could I lie to others?" Qing Shui had to bite the bullet and said, "I never lie to others."

Whether Qingshui can deceive others has already been decided clearly in many people's minds.

But as far as this night is concerned, this so-called truth is actually not important in Satomi's heart.

After waiting for Hokage Rock here for who knows how many days and nights, she finally got a definite answer.

Because the only thing lingering in the girl's mind at this moment is Qing Shui's words, "After this summer, everything will have a result."

This is the so-called midsummer promise.

This is bound to be a sleepless night for many people.
