Dancer of Konoha

White mist gradually appeared in the vast border forest. Unknowingly, the night faded and the sky began to light up.

Seeing that Kosuke and Uzumaki Naruto were almost recovered, Enyan led everyone and rushed towards Tekuno.

but......

"Yanyan, you... vomit... vomit..."

Uzumaki Naruto's painful vomiting sound sounded again.

"Ugh...bastard..."

Glancing over the stumps and internal organs scattered on the branches along the way, Kosuke stared at Yanyan with a complicated expression.

"Any questions?"

Yan Yan asked with a smile pretending to be obedient.

"Grandpa Kosuke?"

"I always feel like you have great expectations for Mingrao..."

Kosuke sighed with a darkened face and looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was almost vomiting not far away.

Gengsuke could see that Yanyan could completely avoid this road, but he still chose to return the same way.

It seems to be training Uzumaki Mingrao's endurance.

"Although he is a leaf bathed in light now, I believe that one day in the future, he can even become this light and illuminate the entire Konoha."

Yanyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled meaningfully:

"And I have deep roots in darkness. I am very curious, how will he define the word darkness in the future?"

"root!"

At this moment, Kosuke, who looked stunned, seemed to understand many things completely.

Being so aggressive and advocating fighting violence with violence, there is indeed no one more representative than Shimura Danzo.

"Are you so sure? Besides, Naruto doesn't seem to agree with your idea."

Kojie thought with some suspicion. He didn't understand Yanyan's intention. It didn't seem to bring any benefit to the roots.

"Grandpa Kosuke, I have no doubt about the heights Naruto can reach in the future."

There was a hint of expectation in the corner of Yanyan's eyes, and he smiled with some evil humor:

"But people always grow up and have to face reality. When he finds that he cannot get rid of the darkness in his heart, what will he do?"

As he spoke, Yanyan fell into memories and thought of the future.

Uzumaki Naruto, who became the seventh-generation Hokage in Konoha with no shadow roots, took on the "light" and "darkness" alone.

Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too much “darkness”.

Uzumaki Naruto, who was physically and mentally exhausted, saw Hinata Hinata waiting for him to go home late at night.

The smile that used to be so confident when he was young can only barely curl up now.

Perhaps, he had already begun to suspect that the moment he became the hero of Konoha, he had already lost.

The subsequent disputes further confirmed his suspicions. Perhaps Nagato was right...

This is the sadness of an adult.

When I was young, there seemed to be clear boundaries between "light" and "darkness." Now it seems that light is not darkness, and darkness is not light.

The seemingly peaceful Konoha is not the perpetrator of war.

"..."

Kosuke lowered his eyes and closed his mouth with a complicated expression.

It is said that one knows one's fate at fifty. He is already over sixty years old this year and has seen too much darkness and light in the world.

Although he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed the case, and he couldn't refute Yanyan.

That's right, what Uzumaki Naruto will face in the future is not only the darkness of people's hearts, but also the torture of his own soul.

My perseverance in my youth may no longer be meaningful by then.

"Ugh......"

Looking at Uzumaki Minrao's back, Kosuke sighed helplessly.

"So what if he is stronger than the first Hokage? After his death, the darkness that erupted in the ninja world is terrifying..."

"Don't be pessimistic, Grandpa Kosuke."

Yanyan looked at Kojie's wrinkled and sad face in a funny way.

"So, to beat your brother, you have to take advantage of... No, to be Hokage, you have to learn from the beginning."

"If you don't suffer a severe beating from reality soon..."

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto walking toward the two of them with a pale face, the corners of Yanyan's mouth curved in a dangerous arc.

"How can I be so comfortable and lazy at my roots?"

In the future, the blame will come one after another, which is very annoying, so it is time for the Hokage to take the blame.

If Danzo-sensei was still alive at that time, he would probably laugh his dentures off while dreaming.

"Sorry...grandpa...bastard..."

Uzumaki Naruto opened his bloodless lips and showed an ugly smile.

"I've kept you two waiting...let's go quickly..."

Not bad, I can already curse, and I seem to be recovering well.

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto's frightened look, Yan Yan narrowed his eyes in a dangerous arc and did not care about him.

After all, along the way, there are many scenic spots where Uzumaki Naruto can vomit, and Yanyan will naturally not miss any of them.

"and many more......"

Kosuke suddenly thought of something, stopped Yanyan who was about to set off, and pointed at the figure behind who didn't dare to approach or stay away.

"What are you going to do about that Iwa-nin?"

"She..."

Yanyan, who turned around to look, scratched his bloody cheek and said without thinking:

"I'm interested in her and intend to bring back the roots."

"Bring back?"

Kosuke's eyes widened and he said with a strange expression:

"can you?"

"Will it work?"

Yanyan turned around with confusion on his face.

But suddenly he found that Kosuke's eyes were curiously looking at his lower body.

"Your idea is very dangerous. I advise you to get rid of this idea from your mind as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Yanyan expressionlessly turned the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella in his hand into a baseball bat.

"If it's inconvenient for you, I can help you."

"Hoo ho ho..."

Kosuke laughed awkwardly when he heard this, waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"No, no, as we get older our memory fades. What were you doing just now?"

"Humph......"

Yanyan put down the baseball bat, but it didn't change back. If he dared to look over again, he would definitely smash this old guy's head.

After all, the lower body is the place that causes him more pain than his height...

"Although Iwa Ninja's combined ninjutsu is less mobile, it has many advantages. Take her back to study it."

"indeed so......"

Kosuke nodded thoughtfully.

"It's so far away, aren't you afraid of her running away?"

"Run? I'm really looking forward to it..."

Yanyan's scarlet eyes flickered suddenly, as if he was suppressing something.

"After all, there is a post on the southern border of the Earth Kingdom, isn't it?"

"Your idea is very dangerous, I advise you to give it up..."

The experienced Kosuke shook his head with a dark face and said:

"The ninjas from the two outposts disappeared outside the country. Even if the Iwa ninja knew it was us, they would still have to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs."

"But if you want to chase after them and destroy the last outpost..."

Kosuke sighed solemnly.

"I'm afraid our outpost won't last long. After all, it's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it's hard to guard against a thief for a thousand days."

"It's ok......"

Yan Yan raised his eyebrows and led everyone forward.

"Since this door can't be dismantled, let's find an opportunity to replace the doorman with one of our own..."

"Asshole...why haven't you come back yet..."

Kuno, whose hands had been tied up all night, kept muttering on the tree with dull eyes.

The entrails of the corpses all around him had evaporated all night, and now their stench became even stronger.

Tekuno had already vomited everything in his stomach, and his chest was inevitably stained with a lot of sour and smelly vomit.

"You guys are not dead, are you? Why didn't I let that poor Iwa ninja do it earlier? Why did he suffer this? Ugh..."

"Brother Tekuno!! Brother Tekuno!!"

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Tekino's ears.

Tekuno's originally dazed eyes suddenly flashed with a light of hope.

"It's Naruto!!"

In his blurred vision, an orange figure was rapidly approaching him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Naruto!!!"

Tekuno shouted excitedly.

"I'm finally saved...so good..."

"Haha, Brother Tekuno, I finally...vomit..."

Just when Uzumaki Naruto rushed to Tekuno's side, the strong smell and tragic scene made him suddenly turn pale.

Translucent light yellow gastric juice instantly spurted out from the mouth and nose, pouring on Tekuno's body...

"Ah! Naruto!! Ugh..."

Seeing Zheng Huan facing each other and vomiting, Yan Yan took two steps back in disgust.

"Sure enough, let's go find Uncle Yeshan first..."
