Stone Rain of Konoha

It's noon, the time for lunch.

Residents of all kinds are walking around the bustling pedestrian street. There are mothers with their children, children holding their father's hands and clamoring to buy things, elderly people, and children running back and forth. Everyone has their own story. Life, personality and appearance are different, but the same thing is that everyone has a smile on their face.

And this kind of happy smile from the heart was simply unimaginable just seven or eight years ago.

Kakashi and the others ignored the middle-aged man's feelings and directly pulled him into the octopus dumpling shop.

The store is not big, with only four or five tables.

But they had already served more than half of the guests. When the door was opened, a group of people dressed in ninja costumes and the detained prisoners were extremely conspicuous, attracting many strange looks.

Kakashi and his party didn't care, they just wanted to order food while sitting at the bar.

The bosses sitting at the bar frying octopus balls were an old man and a young man, a white-haired old woman and a young girl with a green face.

If Kuroyu Shiyu were here, he would definitely recognize this old woman.

This is the mother-in-law who sold octopus balls on the boat. Kuroha Shigure still remembers this kind old woman. When she learned that her group was a ninja, she was willing to give them a free meal. She shamelessly asked herself and Namikaze Minato. , just to gain an opportunity to deal with the sea monster disaster caused by the enemy's ninjas.

At this time, the old woman also noticed Kakashi and his group sitting at the bar. Seeing the Konoha ninja forehead protector on their forehead, she quickly greeted them warmly.

"What do you ninja-sama want to eat?"

Metkai quickly raised five fingers and said excitedly: "Mother-in-law, give me five octopus balls, add chili, make them super spicy!!"

The mother-in-law gently covered her mouth and looked at the silly boy in front of her with some surprise. You know, the portion of the octopus balls he had here was very large, enough for the couple to have a full meal, and the price was also very reasonable.

If it's five servings, that's enough for ten people.

Yuhi Hong pushed Metkai with her elbow: "Akai, be careful not to scare your mother-in-law."

My mother-in-law was also very talkative and laughed easily when she saw this scene. She didn't feel as restrained as others did when they saw the ninja.

My mother-in-law has a very good eye for judging people. The young ninjas in front of her are exactly the same as the two they met back then, who are now the famous fourth and fifth generation Hokage.

That is, they don't have the arrogance of those old ninjas. Even when facing an old woman like him, there is no big difference between treating anyone else equally.

This made my mother-in-law feel very happy.

After Asma sat down, she obviously relaxed physically and mentally, and said to her mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, bring me a piece of sushi and a cup of tea."

After saying that, he dug into his pocket and wanted to light a cigarette, but when he saw the murderous look in Yuhi Hong's eyes next to him, he honestly handed over the cigarette in his pocket.

Kakashi also ordered the same one as Asuma, and Yuhi Kurenai ordered a cake.

The leader of the Kingdom of the Sea had already casually ordered an order of octopus balls. Although his hands were handcuffed, he picked up a bunch and hid it in his mouth.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed it, but I couldn't help but sigh: "It's delicious."

Looking at the skillful mother-in-law, although she knew that the other party didn't want to talk to her because she was a prisoner after all, she still curiously asked: "Old man, have the streets here always been like this? Compared with other countries, they are different It’s just too big.”

The middle-aged man's tone was gentle, like a true gentleman.

The old woman seemed to be infected by this temperament, and mistakenly thought that the other party did not look like a bad person, so she started talking to the middle-aged man: "That's not the case. In fact, I also opened this Octopus Restaurant in the past year. The meatball shop, because the Fire Nation has enacted a policy to encourage foreign businessmen, is not only willing to accept refugees with no criminal history, but also issued a business loan, so the old lady has the capital to open this shop. But I heard that everyone in this city Just five or six years ago, we were still living a precarious life, but with the Fourth Hokage taking office, everything started to develop in a good direction."

"There were a lot of frictions at first. The local powerful people were unwilling to cooperate, which caused a lot of turmoil and many people died. Later, they were all arrested, and basically all the people in charge here were replaced. Then The development speed is getting faster and faster, until today, of course, after all, I am a foreigner, and I know the situation here from what I hear. However, the Fourth Hokage and the Fifth Hokage are both very good people. "

Hearing this, the middle-aged man also became silent and thought. The old man said it simply, but the middle-aged man knew that if he wanted to reform from the bottom, he must fundamentally break the entangled forces below.

If there is no super vision and foresight, if the reform takes a wrong step, then the entire country will fall into dire straits. Not only will internal forces rebel, external forces will take advantage of the situation, and the entire country may be destroyed in just a few months. The inside was penetrated into a sieve, and finally ended up with a city destroyed and a family destroyed.

Even so, the fourth and fifth generations of Hokage still had to carry out the reform to the end.

This is equivalent to an extremely severe surgical operation. As long as one detail is not handled properly, the impact on the development of the country will be extremely long-term.

This shows the courage of these two Hokages during their reign.

Fortunately, the reform was successful and people lived an ideal life.

It's a pity that this is the courage that only a big country can have, and only a big country with a strong military strength that can sweep everything is qualified to have courage. Not only that, this country must also have the control to completely control this powerful force. Maybe it can reach this level now.

You must know that this is a ninja world with many aristocratic families. The family has military power that is not weaker than the country. However, they are fragmented forces one after another with intricate interests. It is difficult to unite as one, but once they come into contact When their fundamental interests are reached, they will attack them in groups, even if it is the army of a country.

The former leader of the Kingdom of the Sea understood this very well. He had violated the fundamental interests of those beasts. They would rather surrender to the enemy country than bring this country into chaos.

However, the reform of the Fire Country has obviously affected the fundamental interests of these people, but these people still dare not resist, and there is not even the slightest disturbance. This shows that the methods of these two Hokages are far beyond their own. .

Thinking of this, I can't help but start to worry about the boy in my family. The fundamental purpose of his coming to see Kuroba Shiyu, the Fifth Hokage, this time is not only to use him to deal with the Kingdom of Water, but also to learn from the experience and seek to govern the country. Ways to develop a country.

The old woman was lost in memories. She couldn't help but recall the two teenagers she met on the boat.

So she smiled and said, "To be honest, I was lucky enough to meet these two Hokage-sama."

Oh?

Everyone raised their heads, and even the middle-aged people looked at the white-haired old man in front of them with some surprise.

"Back in the day, the old woman was still selling snacks on the merchant ships of the Land of Fire. I had the honor to meet the two Hokages when they were young. At that time, I knew that these two people would definitely be extraordinary in the future."

The middle-aged man became interested and said, "Oh, old man, why do you see this?"

Of course, he wasn't the only one who was interested. The four guys on the side also pricked up their ears and started listening.

"Because, after getting in contact with them, the old woman found that they are different from other ninja masters. Even for an uneducated old woman like me who sells octopus balls, the two teenagers are humble and polite, without the slightest contempt. The old woman is In my life, I have no other skills, but I am very accurate in reading people. The old woman can tell at a glance whether the other person is pretending or whether he treats people sincerely."

"You said that a person who can treat people at the lowest level equally, and this person is a ninja with powerful power, then he is destined to be a person different from the mainstream era. When they stand out, the people under his People will definitely be like this, just like the lotus blooming in the mud, it will bring more different but beautiful things to the world. The old woman is uneducated, and these things she said are all premonitions in her heart. , I can’t give a specific reason, but I just feel that the Hokage-sama of that year will definitely be extraordinary in the future.”

The middle-aged man fell into thinking: Thoughts that transcend the times are also leading the times... Sure enough, he came to the right place.

The former red eyes had already radiated starlight, and the figures of the Fourth Hokage and the Fifth Hokage began to grow taller in her heart.

"Wow~, this is my ideal boyfriend..." Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but become obsessed with Kuroba Shisame and Namikaze Minato when they were teenagers. They must be very cute.

But then they remembered Kuroba Shiyu's stinky face when he was their teacher, and he simply returned to reality.

Then he saw Sarutobi Asuma with a stubble next to him...

Sarutobi Asuma was a little jealous when he saw the nymphomaniac look like Kurenai in the past, but when he saw her eyes with a hint of disgust, he finally couldn't help but complain: "Hey, hey, hey! Kurenai, what are you doing? What look are you looking at? Teacher and the others were born in a war era, so they must have very high ideas and insights. As the saying goes, heroes emerge from every era. If I had been born in that era, I would definitely not be worse than them, and I might even do better!! "

Kakashi glanced over with dead fish eyes, and Metkai looked over with wide eyes.

Sarutobi Asuma's face turned red as everyone watched.

"Okay, it's just bragging~!"

After saying that, I don't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or extreme shame, but I just put my head down and started eating, ignoring the world.
