Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

In mid-December, the main entrance of Konoha Village.

At noon, there were very few people going in and out of the gate. Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie took the opportunity to slump on the table and relax a little after spending most of the day.

Over the past few years, these two "eternal door gods" have become thoroughly familiar with the various details and essentials of looking at doors:

For example, what time of the week is the flow of people, what time of day will the flow of people reach its peak, what time is the least crowded, etc...

So after so many times, I have never been complained about because I relaxed at work~

However, just when the two of them thought they could relax for a while as usual,

"Dong Dong~"

"!"

The two guys who had just collapsed almost realized something at the same time, and then stood up without even looking at them!

"Yes!" x2

"???"

In front of the table, Senju Mayuki and Izumi, who had just arrived, were immediately stunned.

Where did this come from?

"Ah...it turns out to be you!"

The two door gods who had just reacted instantly blushed~

But there is no way to explain the fear of being caught while fishing at work, so the two of them reached a tacit understanding the moment their eyes met:

Next topic!

"Ah...Is your...vacation over?"

Shenyue Izumo made a routine inquiry, and Gangzitie picked up the registration book and pen and flipped forward a few pages.

Just flipping through the pages, the young man suddenly thought of something and looked up at the two people at the table.

Then he suddenly slapped his head, hurriedly opened the drawer and rummaged around for a while, and finally took out a registration book that seemed to have been specially treasured...

"...?"

"Oh~ I found it!"

Turning to a certain page, Gangzitie immediately turned the registration book and pushed it over.

Senju Mayuki reached out to take the pen and at the same time looked at the place pointed by his left hand~

As a result, my dear, compared with the registration book next to me that is in use, this one looks like it is about to give out a sense of age~

"The time for leave...is from...December 12th..."

"Okay, then sign your names here~"

After completing the content of the leave note according to Gang Zitie's prompts, the two of them nodded to the door gods and walked towards the Hokage Building amid the "smiling service" of the two door gods.

After watching the two of them off for a while, Gang Ziti, who was about to turn back, suddenly heard his friend next to him sigh with emotion:

"What a good boy~"

"what?"

"Look at it~"

Izumo Kamizuki used the end of his pen to circle the deadline that Senju Mayuki had just written a few times.

"If we had such a good opportunity, even if we have completed the task, we would have to stay out until the last day before coming back! Are you right, Xiaotie~"

As a brother and a dear friend, he thought that Gang Zitie would definitely agree with his words as usual.

What he didn't expect was that this time his friend rarely agreed with him. Instead, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked a question that shocked him:

"My dear friend, could this... be the reason why the two of us were welded to death at the gate..."

"..."

The air is quiet...

"what?"

……

On the way to the Hokage Building.

The reason why I chose to come back at this time is of course not because Senju Maysuki is a good child or anything, but because Hinata Hinata's birthday is coming soon——

First of all, this is not licking!

But because,

First of all, I have a "white-eyed princess" plan.

Secondly, it was because when Hinata Hanabi was born, Nara Shikaku and the three contemporary heads of the "Ino Shikacho" family were all supporting themselves in that way, so how could I show too much contempt on my side.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Lord Hokage, Senju Maysuki and Uchiha Izumi request to meet."

"Oh? Hehehe... let them in quickly!"

"Yes!"

"click~"

As soon as he entered the door, Senju Mayuki saw the third generation old man clearing the table.

"Hokage-sama!" x2

"Hmm~Okay~~~"

The Third Hokage smiled and nodded to the two of them.

After tidying up for a while, I found that there were too many small documents and other things on the table, and I still haven’t finished them after a while.

So he simply ignored it and piled it up to the side with a few clicks. Then he looked at the two of them with a smile and asked:

"Why are you back at this time? I originally thought that at your age, if you finally have a chance to go out, you will definitely play outside until the last day before coming back~"

"Uh……"

Senju Mayuki suddenly felt like sweating~

Old man, although there are no outsiders here, it’s still not good for you to talk like this!

If some workaholics or cabbages hear this, they won’t be able to fight me...

"Hehehe~"

Fortunately, the Third Hokage doesn't really care about this.

Many of the words were actually just casual questions from an old man when he saw the junior he liked coming back, without really intending for him to answer~

"Are you having fun playing outside with Izumi these days?"

"Well~ I did go to a lot of places and saw a lot of strange and weird things..."

Although I was dissatisfied with the third-generation old man while watching the anime, and felt that he was too cowardly and not strong enough,

But now that I have personally come into contact with him as a living person,

Only then did Senju Manzuki realize that impressions are just impressions after all.

At least because of these past dissatisfactions, he could not completely deny the old man's various care and preferential treatment to him in the past few years.

"Hehehe~"

It doesn’t matter if it’s working time or not,

The old man and the young man just kept chatting for nearly an hour!

It wasn't until Senju Maysuki and Izumi were almost unable to resist the questioning that the old man was satisfied and put away his curiosity~

"Hmm~"

After calming down his emotions for a while, the old man changed the topic and asked:

"Speaking of which, you two seem to be the same age as Uchiha Fugaku's children, right?"

"Ah."

Senju Mayuki and Izumi nodded at the same time when they heard this, and their expressions immediately became serious.

"Well……"

The Third Hokage rubbed his pipe in his hand and pondered for a moment,

"Some time ago, Fugaku made a request to me, saying that he hoped to allow his child Uchiha Itachi to join ANBU..."

"To be honest, I didn't expect this, but I can understand that this is Fugaku's own way of breaking the tradition of 'Uchiha is equal to the police force'!"

"After a meeting and discussion, other senior executives also agreed to this matter, and finally it was decided that Danzo would be responsible for issuing tasks to Itachi to prove his strength..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but cast a vague glance at Quan, and a moment of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Then what..."

"You may not know yet, but due to some old-era reasons, Danzo is quite resistant to the Uchiha clan, so he will definitely not issue a very difficult task to Itachi."

"But every time he sees me recently, he looks very appreciative when talking about Itachi. Apparently this child's performance has been so good that even Danzo is willing to let go of his prejudices..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but turn his attention to Senju Mayuki again.

"So I'm also thinking that after a few years of dormancy, it's time for you to step onto a higher stage."
