Naruto: Fox and Cat

??

Ying Luofeng found that she was prone to inexplicable changes every time she woke up. For example, when she just slept until lunch time and got up this time, she saw that Naruto, who was originally going to a meeting, had come back.It just so happened that Itachi, Sasuke and Shikamaru hadn't left yet, so they could have lunch together.

At this time, she was sitting in the restaurant, looking at Naruto who was washing rice with suspicion, "That's it? And then they said they were retiring? Are you really not going to pursue the matter of Itachi?"

"Well, it seems that everyone believes what Brother Itachi said~" Naruto smiled and narrowed his eyes, put the rice in the rice cooker and pressed the switch.

"Konoha's sentence to me has been very generous, and no matter what kind of punishment it is, I will accept it." Itachi just smiled helplessly and took out the washed cabbage.To be honest, Itachi didn't receive much punishment after the war. Due to the daimyo's appearance at that time, Konoha only announced that he would be arrested and imprisoned, but actually did not restrict his actions.

"I think it's good now, because everyone is satisfied with the current result. The most important thing is that now that you and Sasuke are two right-hand assistants to help handle the work, Hokage-sama can wander around with a notebook from time to time. ..." Shikamaru lay on the dining table, looking sideways and lazily ordering, "Brother Itachi, let's have vinegar-pickled kombu for dessert after dinner..."

"I remember not buying kelp." Naruto opened the refrigerator and took a look. It was basically filled with nutritional supplements and fresh vegetables.

"Miss Feng, there are no ingredients here, and the kombu needs to be marinated overnight to get the flavor. Next time I cook it, can I ask Sasuke to bring some to you?" Itachi looked at the ingredients on hand and decided to make fruit pudding for dessert. .

"Shikamaru, I find that you are really getting more and more pushy." Sasuke glared at him. When this guy saw Itachi in the first year, he wanted to retreat, but after more work exchanges, this guy really became more and more aggressive. Getting more and more cheeky.

"Brother Itachi's cooking skills are very good. It's rare for me to have a meal..." Shikamaru continued to lie down lazily, and he had even begun to dream about his retirement life. "In order for me to get off work on time in the future, I can't be the only one now. Learn those theoretical knowledge alone. You all use your brains for me..."

"This is unlikely. Theoretically, I, Sasuke and Miss Feng are not suitable for contacting the center of the political power." Itachi lit the fire and said clearly while preparing to stir-fry, "And now that the ANBU has stabilized, I should also start from The ANBU has resigned, and I shouldn’t actually be helping out in Konoha now.”

"After all, you are Uchiha, and Miss Feng is a foreigner..." Shikamaru raised his face and smiled inexplicably, "But no one can predict the future."

A Hokage needs more than just the hearts of the people. The most important thing is to have the support of a huge family behind him.The Yingluo clan is indeed a big family, but Yingluofeng is only one of the current young master's guards, and it is impossible for the Yingluo clan to return to the world again.In order to make up for this, a team comparable to a big family is needed to support him.

Everyone present knew this, but a certain golden fox who didn't understand these political collusions probably really didn't understand.

"What on earth are you talking about? Why can't Sasuke and Itachi help me..." Naruto, who was helping in the kitchen, frowned and helped bring out the fried dishes, "And Shikamaru, don't always say that it's because Sasuke and Itachi Itachi is an Uchiha, he can't do this or that, this is too much."

"Sorry, that's not what I meant." Shikamaru smiled apologetically and continued to lie on the table, "What's more, people of the older generation will care about these things. Lord Hokage even sent Itachi to the most confidential mission. The ANBU has gone."

"Anbu is indeed a troublesome place. Thank you for your hard work." Ying Luofeng looked at Sasuke's complicated expression and asked with a smile, "Sasuke, what are your plans in the future?"

"Now that Naruto is back, after your physical condition stabilizes, my brother and I will go on a trip to see if there are any buildings from the Kaguya era. I will leave Konoha to Naruto. ", Sasuke thought of the textbooks he had seen before and was a little gloating, "Anyway, you, a loser, just go to class. Your current courses are the same as those of elementary school students, but your grades are not as good as theirs."

"I hate theory classes. Every time I take a class, I feel like my head is going to explode..." Naruto puffed up his face. In contrast, it was much easier to practice Rasengan or Senjutsu back then. "Why does Naruto have to learn so much?" A lot of stuff? The Hokage should be the one recognized by everyone..."

"Because in addition to having the strength to protect Konoha, Naruto also has to deal with a lot of paperwork and policies." Sakura Luofeng held her face up and looked at him with a smile, "Come on, I believe Naruto will be fine~"

"Before that, you should take the Jonin exam first. This time you will still be a Genin." Shikamaru was a little helpless. He was now afraid that Naruto would not even be able to pass the Chunin theory test.

"I know what to say..." Naruto lowered his head, silently pulled out his chair and moved to Sakura Luofeng for comfort, "Feng, you should also listen together when the time comes, and just ask questions about things I don't understand at all. What you say~"

"Ready to eat." Itachi brought out the last plate of fried pork slices. When he looked at the four people who had been sitting obediently at the dining table, he felt like he had several more brothers and sisters.After smiling and shaking his head to ignore this illusion, he served everyone a bowl of rice. After sitting down, he clasped his hands together with everyone, closed his eyes and said softly, "I'm starting."

A simple meal and a few close friends, sometimes the requirements for happiness are no more than this.

.....................................................................................................................

Because of Naruto's decision to join the ANBU, Itachi's original plan to leave Konoha with Sasuke to travel was postponed for more than two months. Moreover, entering the ANBU was not based on theoretical knowledge. Itachi also knew that Naruto would not stay for a long time. In ANBU, they only prepared the most critical tests for him.And considering Naruto's current strength, after discussion, Naruto cannot use Sage Mode, Nine Lama Mode or Six Paths Mode. He can only rely on basic Ninjutsu and Taijutsu like other ordinary ninjas. Of course, the power of the Rasengan Also restricted.

Only by having similar conditions to ordinary ninjas can we better experience the various almost cruel and ruthless choices they make in their missions.

Except for the Hokage and the heads of various departments, no one else knows about this, and the ninjas who join the ANBU all use code names. Not many people know what kind of people are behind each code name and what kind of stories they have.

Sakura Luofeng didn't know about this either. She was just told that Naruto had to help perform a secret mission recently and would not show up for a while. When he left, Sakura and Konohamaru would occasionally come over. Help, and Sasuke will keep her safe.

She didn't think much about it, or even worry about it. Anyway, with Naruto's current strength, that secret mission should be easily accomplished.And since it was Konoha's secret, she didn't want to investigate too much, although she had searched for information in Konoha a lot before.

And it was the first time that she really had time to look at the bookshelf on the first floor, check the books one by one and write down the titles of the books that interested her.Shukaku doesn't know why he especially likes to stay here. Known as 'absolute defense', it has also successfully obtained the task of protecting Sakura Luofeng. However, it usually just runs around here in the House of Wind, blowing a few small sandstorms. come out.

However, when other people come here, it will also stay on Yingluofeng's shoulder and act as a little doll, so as not to scare those people.

"Sister Feng, I put today's vegetables in the refrigerator, and I also fed the goldfish on the second floor." Konohamaru ran down and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else you need help with?"

"I can do the rest by myself. I'm embarrassed to have you help me buy groceries every day." Ying Luofeng smiled and shook her head, putting the book in her hand back on the shelf.

"Brother Naruto told me to take good care of you before he went on the mission, and Miss Sakura also said before that you still need to take medicine on time. I just have a mission this afternoon, so I can stay here to help in the morning." Konoha Maru looked at the neat bookshelves and decided to go to the backyard to have a look. "I'm going to clean the backyard. There should be a lot of fallen leaves in autumn now."

Before Ying Luofeng could stop him, he had already dragged the broom and ran away.Ying Luofeng just shook her head in amusement and could only raise her voice to remind him, "Why don't you have lunch here later? It will be just enough to finish and go on the mission."

"Good~"

Ying Luofeng smiled slightly when she heard the answer. As soon as she took out a history book, she caught a glimpse of several small heads at the spacious glass window nearby. When she turned her head, she only saw the heads of five colorful cats there. .

Shukaku Dango, who was lying on her shoulder, had always paid attention to the little guys. He curled his lips and said, "They seem to want to come in. Should I avoid them?"

"Lord Shukaku said you would protect me, don't break your promise," Ying Luofeng just smiled and fiddled with her long snow-white hair to block the little dumpling, and pinched its little paws to remind, " You can't blow out a sandstorm, washing your hair will be very troublesome."

"No way," Shukaku held her collar and squatted on his right shoulder, looking at the hazy outside through the hanging white. "If they make me angry, I will give them a desert burial!"

"Sounds like a very magical ninjutsu~" Sakura Luofeng didn't care much. She put the book back and walked towards the closed door.

..........................................

In front of the window outside the door, five young ninjas wearing forehead protectors were squatting there in a uniform posture, each with a calico cat on their head as a cover.From left to right are Moehuang, Udon, Takuyako, Ibuki, and Ryohei.The first two are Sarutobi Konohamaru's companions at the same time, and the next three are the genin children Naruto and Sakura Luofeng met when they went to the Hokage Tower last time.

"Sister Menghuang, are you sure this disguise is okay?" Zhuo Mizi held the camera in her left hand and held the little milk cat above her head with her other hand. She always felt that something was not right.

"Don't worry! This disguise is absolutely perfect!" Menghuang raised her thumbs with a proud face, "Sister Feng's hobbies have not changed from before to now, and she will never be able to tell that we are hiding here. "

"When Sister Feng was not in Konoha, the three of us helped look after the cats near her house." Udon didn't think there was any problem with this disguise.

"But why not use the transformation technique? Isn't it easier to become a cat?" Ibuki frowned, and raised his hand to steady the little milk cat that was stepping on his peaked cap.

"Yiko, let's put the photos in the mailbox quickly and leave. Teacher Iruka said you can't disturb Sister Feng casually." Ryohei shrank his neck. He heard that the people who live here need to rest, so the bookstore has been closed since then. The door has never been opened since it was established.

"What photo?", a voice came from behind them, with a little curiosity.

"It's the photo I took of Brother Naruto and Sister Feng last time," Ryohei replied subconsciously, and then the five young ninjas froze, hugged the cat on their head tightly and turned around, looking at it in disbelief. Looking at Ying Luofeng who was bending over to look at their funny looks.

The beautiful woman with long snow-white hair chuckled, straightened her back, and asked gently, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"Sister Feng, long time no see!" Menghuang came to his senses first, stood up happily and said hello before saying, "Because we have all received the notice, we can't disturb you casually."

"Oh? Why?" Ying Luofeng raised her eyebrows in surprise and pointed at herself innocently, "Am I some dangerous person under surveillance?"

"No!" Several children quickly shook their heads, and Menghuang also quickly explained, "Because we all know that Sister Feng needs to recuperate now, and we can't let too many people disturb you."

"Am I so fragile now?" Ying Luofeng was a little amused, pointing to the door and saying, "Would you like to go in and sit for a while? Konohamaru is also inside, or you can have lunch with him here later. "

"Is it really okay?" The five children's eyes suddenly lit up, and they cheered immediately when they saw her nodding.

"Yiko?", a somewhat familiar female voice sounded in confusion. When Sakura Luofeng looked over, she found that it was the female reporter Qianshan Qianxue who came to interview Naruto and Sasuke last time.

"Sister~" Zhuo Mizi waved her hands happily and quickly hid the camera hanging around her neck after thinking of something.

"I've seen it, no need to hide it." Qianshan Qianxue, who was wearing regular clothes, came over and rubbed her head. She looked at Ying Luofeng standing at the door with some surprise, "Miss Feng?"

"Long time no see, Master Qianshan. I'm sorry that I didn't have time to say hello last time." Ying Luofeng nodded slightly to her and greeted her with a smile, "Formal introduction, I am Ying Luofeng."

"I've admired my name for a long time," Qianshan Qianxue also smiled and nodded, winking and said, "Just call me Qianxue. It's always weird to add an honorific to me."

"Yes, yes, sister Feng, you don't need to be so polite. I have never heard of anyone calling me sister with honorifics." Zhuo Mizi stuck out her tongue playfully and explained to her, "Sister, sister Feng will invite you later." We’re having lunch here, can I stay?”

"You just have to decide for yourself," Qianshan Qianxue just smiled, arranged the camera she had hung, and warned her. "Since you are a guest, don't disturb others too much, and remember to pay attention to Miss Feng's body."

"I know~"

Ying Luofeng looked at her daily attire and asked, "If Miss Qianshan has no other plans, would you like to come in and sit down?"

"Huh? Is it okay?" Qianshan Qianxue was stunned, because the notice they received was that they could not interview anyone here casually, and had to obtain multiple layers of approval, just like the last time they interviewed Naruto and Sasuke.

"Why not? This is my home. And Miss Qianshan should be resting now, right?" Ying Luofeng blinked, opened the door, and made an invitation gesture to today's guests amidst the crisp sound of the wind chime. , "Please come in."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey~" Qianshan Qianxue did not shirk, and followed Menghuang and the others into this exquisite bookstore.Based on her reporter's intuition, if she established a good relationship with the woman in front of her, she might easily get some hot news later on.

After everyone went in, Ying Luofeng bent down and put the little milk cat that wanted to sneak in back on the cat stand at the door, gently tapped its little head before walking in and closing the door.Sometimes public opinion has unexpected power, and it is necessary to establish a good relationship with well-qualified reporters~
