Konoha no Shen

The two friends were obviously more diligent in practicing in the afternoon than in the morning.

It made Shen very tired.

It gets dark early in the winter, and even though there is reflection from the snow, you can't stay out for too long, especially if you're sweating from exercise, and you need to go back early.

At about the same time, three friends of about the same height returned to the village together.

At the entrance of the village, the two people who were responsible for guarding the gate huddled like quails, and they were familiar with the three little guys.

He smiled and said hello, and then continued to nest.

Looking at the door under the wind in winter is really not something ordinary people can endure.

"These three little guys are really hardworking. It snowed even in the middle of winter and it didn't fall for a day. We didn't have the energy, otherwise we wouldn't be here."

"Hey??, I don't like hearing what you are saying. Isn't it all for the village? But you are right, these three little guys are really hardworking."

"Otherwise, people can kill a spy even before they graduate. That Shibata became a chuunin earlier than us, and his earth escape is also very good."

"Yeah, who says it's not the case! Comparing people to each other is really irritating. However, it wouldn't be good if the news about him spread like this, right?"

"What's the matter? This is Konoha Village. What kind of trouble can one or two spies cause?"

"I heard that this little guy may have seen some important information."

"Hearsay, any news changes its flavor once it passes through a few people. But this matter has nothing to do with us."

"It's okay...maybe."

One of them did not say this and lowered his head to end the topic.

Not long after, the people from ANBU Team also entered the village, but they did not take the main road. After entering the village, they took small paths that were not far away and not far away to ensure that Shen was not out of their sight.

There are rules in the village that ninjas are not allowed to run from the roof unless there is an emergency mission.

If you run, I will run, and in a few days everyone’s roofs will be repaired.

……

……

After Shen separated from the two of them, he turned around and headed to the market.

He wasn't worried about not being able to buy anything. He had already agreed to keep it for him.

In fact, there is not much to buy, mainly all kinds of meat.

There is game, but there are also pigs, cattle, and sheep. These are all industries. The village is short of many things, but there is no shortage of these materials to feed the animals.

Well, there are special breeding farms in the vast mountains and forests outside.

If you relied solely on the wild ones, the population would have been eaten up long ago.

Just take the Nara family and the Aburame family, they have their own special place and no one else is allowed to enter.

Many people in the market are familiar with him.

Not to mention he is handsome, some aunties like to chat with him, and another thing is that children like him rarely appear here.

Occasionally he helps the adults buy things, but he is the only one who always goes to the market and can explain everything he wants to buy and do.

In my previous life, I was alone and didn't have much else, but I had developed some pretty good cooking skills.

In fact, he didn't want to do it himself, but there were too many things that he couldn't get used to, and at this age, he needed a variety of nutritionally balanced foods, so he simply bought and cooked them himself.

Carrying a bag of things and stepping on the dimming light, Twilight Shen returned home.

I checked the door as usual to make sure no one came in. I took off my shoes, put on my cotton slippers, pushed the door open, and put the various ingredients I bought into categories.

I washed my hands briefly, put on my apron carefully, and started to put away my dinner.

First a fish.

The fish is freshwater fish caught in the river outside the village. It is a type of mandarin fish. Although it is not the most plump time, it is caught in the ice holes in winter and is actually very good.

At this time, the skills of practicing kunai can be used. Holding the kitchen knife in your little hand, click a few times to kill the fish, clean the internal organs and fish scales, and complete various steps.

Then put it aside and continue to make other ingredients and various seasonings, including onions, ginger, garlic, and garlic.

Looks very skilled.

Somewhere outside the courtyard, a three-person team from ANBU's fifth squad was handing over tasks to a young ninja.

ANBU generally do not wear masks when performing tasks in the village, especially when protecting people.

Because there are so many people in the village, wearing a mask can easily expose you.

Kakashi has white non-mainstream hair. At this time, he is not the salty fish he was later, and he looks much colder than later.

There is no unnecessary nonsense when handing over tasks.

After that, he jumped onto a tree in the yard. His body fit into the trunk of the tree, and his hair was like a ball of snow that had not melted away.

As a ninja, it is fundamental to learn to hide oneself, especially Kakashi is still a jounin. Unfortunately, the style of the painting collapsed a bit in the later period. All the assassins turned into berserkers and fought hard every time they met.

Now it is a protection mission, so there is no need to deliberately hide it.

From the direction of Kakashi, he could just see Twilight Shin in the room through the window.

The way Twilight Shen was wrapped in an apron reminded him of the time when he was ordered to protect his master mother Kushina a few months ago. At that time, Minato, as a teacher, clumsily cooked for Kushina, which almost caused a family war at the beginning.

Then I thought of myself again.

In other words, Shen is 5 years younger than him and can already take care of himself so well, but he can only... Especially smelling the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, Kakashi swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

He hadn't had dinner yet, and he felt that he suddenly didn't want to take out the dry food rice ball he had prepared. This is because in the village, it would be even worse if there were soldiers taking pills.

Kakashi's dead fish eye was still observing the situation inside, but in fact his thoughts had wandered to some unknown place.

inside the room.

Shen quickly prepared the meal.

Two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish include those for swimming in the water and those for running in the mountains and forests, plus green vegetables and a soup, which is nutritious and balanced.

For him alone, this meal seemed a bit luxurious.

Shen washed his hands, opened the door, and looked at a tree in the yard.

"Kakashi-senpai, let's eat together!"

Kakashi fell from the tree. It was already night, but the light from the snow and the lights in the house allowed people to see each other clearly.

"Did you see me?"

"Kakashi-senpai would have no problem if he chose another place, but this is my home. These two trees are very familiar to me. If senior can see me, I can naturally see senior."

Kakashi suddenly realized that in fact, only these two trees and the fence in the yard could see the situation inside the house. He didn't have many choices.

"You don't need to call me senior, just call me by my name. You don't need to eat. You are the mission target I want to protect... Gugu~"

Perhaps it was the enticing aroma of the food in the room, or perhaps it was for other reasons, but the growl of Kakashi's stomach interrupted his next words.

The scene was very embarrassing for a time, and Kakashi's face turned red visibly.

"Because it is a protection mission, you need to be closer to the protection target, right? Please come in, senior. There is a spare pair of slippers at the door."

Kakashi hesitated for a while, then followed Shen into the house.

In fact, he refused at first, but the smell was really... so delicious!
