(Naruto) Me and my two tubas

The Kingdom of Thunder is a country with many plateaus and mountains. The further north you go, the more peaks towering into the clouds.

This is a completely different scenery from the fertile plains of the Country of Fire. Although both countries have large areas of forest, the forests of the Country of Thunder are closer to the northern coniferous forest and completely different from the broadleaf forest.

Even if I include my previous life, I have never been to such a place in person...

Hokkaido also has coniferous forests, but the area is far less vast than the plateau forests of Thunder Country.

This time the target is Wuwei, a creature that looks like a combination of a horse and a dolphin, and has five big fluffy tails, which look a bit like a white fox.

From a human aesthetic point of view, Wuwei is much more beautiful than Chongchong...

"Are you slandering me again!" Nanao made an unwilling voice in the Skeleton Shrine, "Uchiha Maki! I tell you! You humans are the ugliest - you don't have beautiful wings or a hard and smooth carapace! So ugly, so ugly!!”

Hey, Chongchong actually guessed what I was thinking. Maybe it was my chattering these past few days that gave him a bad impression.

"But the Five-Tails is plush." ​​I said to the Seven-Tails in such a sinister tone, "It's just as cute as the Nine-Tails, and it's twice as plush... who can resist this?"

"That guy only knows how to run rampant! Where is the cuteness?!" Chongchong scolded loudly, "And the Nine-Tails - arrogant and annoying, isn't it disgusting to be so hairy? No one can stop him from going crazy, you actually think he cute!"

I immediately assured Nanao: "That makes sense. From now on, in my heart, Maki Uchiha, the cutest tailed beast is you. I will never praise other tailed beasts for their beauty. Don't worry, Chongchong." "

Leave the task of boasting to my Xingba, and do what you say.

Chongchong started to chirp angrily, and I couldn't help laughing softly. The little girl walking beside me raised her head uneasily: "Mr. Maki, Teacher Xing...what's wrong?"

This little girl was fished out from the Kingdom of Water. She was born in a closed village. She was expelled by the villagers, including her relatives, because she exposed her blood. She has no surname, only a simple name of Xue Nai.

This is also a characteristic of the Kingdom of Water. Because of the fear of war and disaster brought by ninjas, it rejects all elements related to ninjas, among which the blood line is the most important.

Since the Kingdom of Water does not welcome me, then I will naturally take away children like this that the Kingdom of Water does not want (Orochimaru: Wonderful).

I touched her head: "It's nothing, Maki just thought of something interesting."

Because Xue Nai is here, my trip will not be too fast. In addition, in this era, it is a bit strange for two adult women to travel far away with a little girl, so I pretended to be a couple along the way, and then by Angri and Maki take turns playing different roles, which is very interesting.

The Country of Thunder is vast, especially the coniferous forest area with complex terrain. I plan to capture the Five-Tails before the Cloud Ninja Village notices my arrival.

This won't be a difficult job, because in addition to Maki's perception, there is also Chongchong who is crazy about the problem.

"...Yes, that guy likes this kind of place!" Nanao chirped, "The soil is slightly soft but not too soft, and the trees should be tall and dense - but not too dense, because he can't get through it. He doesn't know how to hit trees, he usually only picks hard and brittle ones when hitting trees."

At first, I still suspected that Nanao was trying to mislead me, but later I discovered that Chongchong just couldn’t bear to see Wuwei roaming freely in the forest.

Good or bad, I like it.

As expected, the Cloud Ninja Village is also vigorously searching for traces of tailed beasts, but they are still in conflict with the Kingdom of Water. In addition, Brother Izuna has also recently been active in the Kingdom of Water, with great momentum, which provided a cover for my trip.

This time difference is enough for me to find and capture the five tails.

It will be New Year soon...

This is probably the first New Year I haven’t spent at home.

When Mito-san is about to give birth next year, I will rush back to Konoha.

The harsh winter has passed quietly, and early spring is coming.

Mito touched his abdomen. The baby was due in March next year, which was the peak of spring.

Xing wrote a letter saying that she will definitely go home once when the child is born, but neither she nor Maki will be back in the New Year this year, which is very uncomfortable.

The family's mother-in-law has protested many times about this, but Xing is already a ninja in her own right, and no one in the family can control her schedule.

At the family dinner, Haruki, who had just heard the news, was very surprised: "Isn't my little aunt coming back? Doesn't it mean that the capture of the Five-Tails will end smoothly, and there is no information about the other tailed beasts..."

Mito turned to Hashirama: "Did you say something to Anzu?"

Senju Hashirama: "Uh..."

Mito frowned: "Is it possible that you are trying to escape from the marriage?"

Senju Hashirama broke into cold sweat: "This..."

The maid mother-in-law on the side wiped the non-existent tears: "Miss Xing is so beautiful, and she is in the flowering period, why don't you want to get married?"

After the fake crying ended, the mother-in-law silently turned her attention to the only adult but unmarried male in the family. The meaning was self-evident.

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

Haruki and Yumi, who have solved major life problems, received a kind smile from their maid mother-in-law, which was in sharp contrast to their second uncle.

Mito said quietly: "Yes, even Maki ran away with Xing."

Hashirama started coughing and his eyes wandered, but Tobirama kept his silence.

Mito looked at the two brothers. She was keenly aware that there was something wrong between them, but she couldn't guess the truth no matter how hard she tried. In the end, she could only sigh silently.

After the Great Ninja War, Konoha ushered in the third New Year.

After the war, Konoha developed rapidly, and it can be said that it changes every year. The surrounding cities and land have long been Konoha's control areas, and the entire Fire Country has gradually become Konoha's sphere of influence.

As the New Year approaches, the busiest departments also get precious holidays. Nara Shikaka and the graduates of the same class gather for dinner again. Judging from the list of participants this year, more people are getting married, and among them are free love. The number of people who get married according to family requirements is much greater than the number of people who marry according to family requirements.

The barriers between different ninja clans will one day be broken down, and perhaps the blood inheritance among the great ninja clans will be diluted because of this, but for the entire village, this is a good trend.

Nara Shikaka was thinking so rationally and deeply in his heart, while his friends around him had already started drinking and bragging. The young jounin who were married and already in love started a large-scale education class for their single companions, and then Met with strong resistance from the bachelor parties.

Lulong was the only one left in Class 9 who was still single. Hailiang, like Qingshu, found a sister who was older than him; Toriyama followed the family's arrangement and got engaged, but fortunately he happened to find the right person. , and from then on he showed his dreamy smile to his teammates every day.

Lu Long: "..."

Oh, you have no idea what Konoha admires most. Look at the proportion of unmarried ministers in Konoha today. From the second generation Hokage to Hiro Hinata, at least two-thirds of the ministers are unmarried or even not in love. It can be seen from this Only being single is an important condition for becoming a powerful ninja!

Of course, the drunk ninjas would not have such clear thinking as Lulong, and they were already desperate for their lives.

Hailiang geared up: "...I bet - when Master and Teacher Maki come back from their mission, they will get married!"

Students in the same class:

"Wonderful!"

"Seconded!"

"I'll bet on this too!"

……

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his wine glass with a clang: "No! It can't be so smooth! I bet - in two years! Master will never take the initiative to pursue Maki-sensei!!"

Danzo squirted out a mouthful of soup: "What are you talking about, Hiruzen, how can you evaluate the master like this?!"

Uchiha Kaoru didn't understand and asked: "Well... why are you so sure that Maki-sama will marry the master?"

Uchiha Yuuto shouted angrily: "Hey! Don't bet on something that has no shadow - Hiruzen, have you chased Tanaka?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes turned red, he lowered his head and began to sob and shed tears, while Mito Katoen stared at him in confusion: "Then Mr. Anzu... who will you marry?"

Yamanaka Hailiang chuckled: "Of course it's the Minister of Intelligence——"

Akimichi Toriyama hahaha: "Of course it's the Nidaime-sama——"

Yuuto: Hiss——

Lu Long: "..."

Mirror: "This..."

The lively drinking scene suddenly fell into dead silence. Regardless of whether they were drunk or not, almost everyone's eyes were blazing with fire at this moment.

At this point, the differences between the two parties have truly reached a fever pitch.

Lu Long was covered in cold sweat and sincerely prayed from the bottom of his heart that the happiness of this group of people would not be heard by anyone in the Intelligence Department. Unexpectedly, a low voice from the seniors immediately came from the next table.

"Of course, Hokage-sama has a better chance of winning~"

"Hey Hey……"

"...Do you look down on our Minister of Intelligence?"

"This kind of thing still depends on what Xing-sama thinks - I think the initiative actually lies in Xing-sama's hands."

"Alas, there is no hope for others anyway..."

……

The seniors and juniors began to have a tacit friendship in the happy atmosphere of the New Year. Although Lu Long had long known that these seniors who had gone through the Warring States Period had already made an emotional bet in private, he never expected that this would happen to him. You can still participate in such a prosperous time.

What was originally a get-together for classmates who were each attending to their own affairs has become a big get-together for the seniors and juniors. The seats have been moved away, the tables have been put together, and everyone is gathering around the table. The owner of the izakaya took the initiative to close the doors and windows, and only a scene can be seen. In the crowd, an Inuzuka ninja was presiding over the gambling game (Shikataka: I'm so brave). He put his hands on the table, and like the dog next to him, he smiled crookedly: "I am Hokage-sama."

Everyone: "Uh-oh——"

The Inuzuka ninja clenched a fist with one hand and waved it vigorously: "Everyone, things like feelings are just like fighting. Only true speed and accuracy can determine the outcome! As we all know, Anzu-sama is gentle and quiet, and is by no means a proactive person. Izuna-sama is reserved and worried, while only Hokage-sama has enough mobility and pressure..."

"Senior, what you said is wrong." Hai Liang stuck his head out - he was very brave, which shows that the master deserved to beat him back then.

I only heard Hailiang's serious retort: ​​"The feelings are mutual! No matter how hard you try, you can't compare to the heartbeat at that moment. I don't think there is any spark between the Hokage-sama and the master, but the master and Izuna-sama are very different... "

Lu Long wiped his face and raised his hand to insert into the crowd: "Well, let me interrupt. I bet they all stay single."

Everyone was in an uproar, and the Inuzuka ninja's eyes widened: "Brother, please don't be impulsive. This is completely impossible. Look at the odds -"

Lu Long took a deep breath and solemnly placed the salary envelope he had just received on the table: "I firmly believe that the path of the strong is destined to be lonely."

Everyone said in unison: "Oh——"

Hailiang was shocked: "...Lu, Lulong!"

An Uchiha ninja couldn't help but said: "Nara boy, why don't you think about it again? You can change to another one..."

When Yuuto saw him at the gambling game, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

Ninja Chen Ken from Thousand Hands suggested: "You earned a lot of money during the New Year, right? Why don't you invest less?"

At this time, Qingshu, who was crowded in the crowd, could not help but cover his face.

"I also vote for this option." Amid the commotion, another salary envelope was placed next to Shikaka's salary, and the owner of the envelope turned out to be Hinata Chinatsu.

She didn't look at anyone, just put down the envelope and withdrew from the crowd.

Everyone was silent for a moment, but soon the Inuzuka ninja collected and registered the envelope, and the bet became heated again.

Lulong also quietly retreated to live alone. He found Qianxia in the corner and walked over quickly: "Why are you just sitting here? Although... but everyone knows that you are innocent, as long as you——"

"Lulong, thank you." Chinatsu just looked at the lively crowd and repeated, "No, but thank you."

"Master and Maki-sensei should be back in the next year. I heard that they seem to have recruited a few new disciples, and the collection of tailed beasts is about to be completed. I heard that the medical department will be expanded again..." Lu Long looked around first. He spoke to him, but Qianxia never responded. In the end, he could only sigh, "Qianxia, ​​they had no choice but to do this."

"I know that everything is just because of my weakness." Qianxia smiled, she looked very calm, "First it was my sister, then Teacher Hong, and finally Master... They all used different ways to protect me. I."

Qianxia finally turned her attention to Lulong, and she put away her smile: "I just don't have the qualifications and power to change my destiny. It's all because of me."

This sounds bad...

Lulong frowned, but instead of resenting the master or the village, this kind of thought would urge Qianxia to become stronger. He didn't know how to solve the problem, so he could only say vaguely: "No, this is not your fault, you have already He is the strongest among us.”

We can only find an opportunity to hint that Hinata Shenghei, Chinatsu's sister will always care about her.

The crowd in the distance burst into noise again, and it seemed that the boss was betting big again. Lu Long looked at the excitement on the gaming table and silently felt sorry for his salary.

...Forget it, just treat it as a confession. Even if the possibility is very small, what if the bet is successful?

"None of them guessed it right." Qianxia suddenly said, "Lulong, Master and Teacher Xing are the same people. They will not choose marriage and bondage."

Lu Long: "...?"

"Powerful and dazzling, like the sun and moon in the sky..."

Qianxia lowered her head and looked at her hands blankly: "No one, no one is worthy of them."
