Mixed with Konoha water everyday life

An unknown place in Konoha, this is the base of the roots.

In the dim hall, Sakumo was sitting on a chair, with a young man standing below him, kneeling on one knee in front of Sakumo with a mask on his face.

Sakumo stood up, walked to the young man, stretched out his hand,

"Leave the mask to me."

"Yes, Master Sakumo."

The young man quickly took off his mask and handed it to Sakumo slowly, looking a little reluctant to part with it.

Sakumo felt a little emotional when he saw the mask handed over to him. This boy was originally the direct grandson of Uchiha Kagami, the elder of the Uchiha clan, but he was willing to join the Roots. Joining the Roots, a place that cannot be known, all the achievements and contributions are destined. It cannot be sung by people.

Although Sakumo knew that the boy had his own purpose in joining the Roots, he had long become Sakumo's right-hand man over the years, and Sakumo even planned to train him as his successor.

However, in the past few years, the barrier between the village and Uchiha has gradually melted away. There is no point for this boy to stay at the roots. He needs to go to places that are more suitable for him. This beam of sunshine should not always exist in the shadows. ,

"Shisui, now you can return to the sun and continue your life. Thank you for your hard work over the years, Daming Mansion should also be more careful."

"Yes, Lord Sakumo, I am very grateful for your continued care!"

……

Seeing Naruko being surrounded by several rain ninjas, Sasuke in the distance had no intention of taking action, because he knew very well that these guys alone could not hurt Naruko at all, and besides, Naruko was stronger than himself. , he is not qualified to protect her yet. He came here just to take one last look at Naruko. After all, it will be a long time before they meet again.

At this time, Shisui suddenly appeared next to Sasuke.

"Sasuke."

"Are you going?"

"Yes. Everyone has gathered, only you are missing."

"Sorry, I'm going right now."

"Hey! Why don't you say goodbye? Everyone can wait."

Shisui also looked towards Naruko and signaled to Sasuke, but Sasuke shook his head resolutely.

"No need, let's go."

……

Inside the Hokage Building, Minato was busy attentively, with thick files piled on the table waiting for him to process.

Dangdang ~

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, Minato raised his head and barely saw the person coming through the gap in the documents in front of him.

"dad."

"Lord Hokage."

"Oh, it's you."

The people who came were none other than Naruko and Shikamaru, but Minato noticed that there were several chains sticking out from behind Naruko, and behind the chains were tied several unknown people. Under the astonished eyes of the guards nearby, Minato walked in swaggeringly. .

"These are...your new friends?"

Minato pointed at the rain ninja behind them.

"New friend, you invited me to be a guest in Yu Nin Village. I don't want to go, so I brought them here for you to see."

"That's it."

Minato nodded, and after the father and daughter handed over the information as if they were joking, Minato frowned and called the ANBU hidden around the building to arrest these people for interrogation. Professionals would come to entertain them.

After several miserable rain ninjas were taken away, there were only three people left in the office.

"You can probably guess the reason why I came here with you."

Naruko and Shikamaru nodded.

"After the chuunin exams were forced to be suspended, the results should have been invalidated because there were no qualified candidates. However, the daimyo from various countries who were watching the battle all spoke highly of your performance, so after our discussion, we unanimously decided..."

Minato looked at Shikamaru first;

"Nara Shikamaru, congratulations. From today on, you are a chuunin. I hope you can work harder and not betray everyone's trust in you."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Immediately afterwards, Minato turned to look at Naruko. Just when Naruko was still confused because her father deliberately separated the two of them, Minato spoke.

"Naruko."

"Ah, here!"

"Whether it was your performance in the Chuunin Exams or the contributions made by the three of you, Team [-], in the subsequent war, they were all impeccable. Although you are still very young and everyone has some disputes about this, several of you and I After discussion with our advisors, we have decided to grant you Sasuke and Hinata the title of Konoha Murakunin, and I hope you will work harder."

"Thank you...eh? Jounin? Shouldn't it be chuunin?"

"That's right, he's a Jonin."

"Eh?"

"Junin?"

"Correct."

"The three of us?"

"Three."

"Eh~!?"

……

Outside the Hokage Building, Shikamaru had already put on his Chunin vest, while Naruko was holding three Chunin vests, still a little at a loss.

"You three..."

Shikamaru looked at Naruko's confused look and hesitated to speak.

"I don't even know how to complain."

"Honestly, I can't believe it either. Are jonins or something like that faster?"

"I don't think there's anything strange about it."

"Ok?"

Shikamaru's words surprised Naruko. After all, it was quite rare for him to be directly promoted from genin to jounin. He had seen strong winds and waves after all. He had been a chuunin for a while, so he still felt surprised. Shikamaru Why is this guy so calm?

"why?"

"Just talking about your strength, I would be surprised if the village still defined you as chuunin."

"This... is true, but in any case, this is a good thing. What are you going to do next, Shikamaru?"

"Probably, find Asuma and Choji, tell them the news, and then go celebrate or something."

Shikamaru's face turned slightly red as he spoke, probably thinking that his teammates would use this to tease him.

"What about you?"

"Me? Of course I want to tell Sasuke and Hinata the good news quickly."

"Goodbye then."

"Uh-huh."

After bidding farewell to Shikamaru, Naruko happily arrived at the Uchiha clan leader's house with her vest in her arms.

I skip the step of knocking on the door to say hello and walk straight into the house. I’m not polite at all. I just say hello loudly when I enter the house.

"Sasuke! Sasuke! Where are you?"

"Sasuke isn't home."

A voice came. Naruko didn't find Sasuke, but saw Uchiha Fugaku. She quickly stopped and bowed politely.

"Ah, it's Uncle Fugaku. Sorry to bother you. Dad told me that the three of us have become jounin. I'm here to give Sasuke a vest."

Naruko happily talked to Fugaku, wanting to hand the vest to Sasuke herself, and couldn't wait to tell Sasuke the good news.

"That's it, thank you for your hard work."

Naruko wanted to hand the thing over to Sasuke with her own hands, but Fugaku seemed to be ignorant and took a step forward and stretched out his hands, obviously wanting to take over the vest for Sasuke.

Although Naruko was reluctant, she also didn't want to leave a bad impression on Fugaku, so she obediently handed the vest to him, only to hear Fugaku continue.

"As for Sasuke, he has already left Konoha and headed for the Daming Mansion."

"Are you on a mission? When did it happen? Sasuke didn't even come to tell me. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I left yesterday."

"Then did he say how long it would take?"

"I'm afraid it will take a long time..."

Fugaku had already said this, and Naruko vaguely noticed something.

"One... one month? Two months? Or more?"

Fugaku couldn't bear to tell Naruko that Sasuke left so easily and left all the trouble to himself as a father. It was so irresponsible, but he couldn't hide this news. He hadn't even had time to think about Naruto. Report, and when the news reaches the Hokage, it will naturally reach the ears of this little guy.

"It will probably take a year, maybe two years, or even longer."

"How...how could...Sasuke...he left."
