I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

"What about Sister Meiling? Have you considered your future plans?"

When she asked him back, Takeuchi Mirei pretended to be relaxed and said, "Probably still doing your current job, right? Isn't that what ninjas do day after day?"

Haruko curled her lips, "But that sounds so boring."

"Indeed..." Takeuchi Mirei also sighed, "I also want to live an interesting and fun life!"

"Can't I leave my current job? For example, go traveling like Tsunade, Jiraiya and the others!" Haruko felt helpless when she thought of the bottles of fine wine that Tsunade had given her as travel souvenirs.

"Tsunade and Jiraiya? So you know the three ninjas, that's amazing." Takeuchi Mirei was surprised, but she didn't seem to be very envious, and continued to answer her, "It's likely that they can't leave. After all, someone as powerful as me has to be begged by the Hokage not to leave!"

Seeing her smug and proud look, Haruko exclaimed in response.

"So Hiruzen begged his subordinates not to leave. I said his usual serious attitude was just an act!"

"Huruzen?" Takeuchi Mirei paused, now she was really convinced, "I didn't expect you knew the Hokage..."

"It's just so-so. I'm just a powerful person that the ninja world begs not to leave!"

After taking a closer look at her small figure and pride, Takeuchi Mirei found it hard to convince herself to believe her words.

"By the way, you have been Chunin for a while now, right? It's about time you can go out on high-level missions."

Mirei Takeuchi recalled the information she had obtained and decided to give her little sister friend a little reminder.

Vaguely catching the meaning behind her words, Haruko said sullenly, "I don't want to go out on a mission. I just want to stay in the village and take a leisurely walk with Itachi, eat the delicious meals prepared by Mikoto, and occasionally bring midnight snacks to Fugaku who is on duty... I just want to maintain the status quo."

"That's right. After all, you have a happy life and you don't want to leave." Takeuchi Mirei nodded in understanding.

Haruko looked at her strangely, "Why does Sister Meiling say that as if she doesn't have a happy life?"

Mirei Takeuchi smiled, without any explanation, she stood up with the help of the chair, touched her head, and when she saw Haruko's accusing expression, her eyes softened.

"Then I wish you could stay like this forever."

Taking the flyer handed over by Nohara Lin, Haruko asked in confusion: "Lin, what is this?"

The biggest words on the flyer read: "Members of the same period celebrate Kakashi's appointment as Jonin Project (Secret Mission)", which made Haruko a little confused. "Isn't Kakashi a Chunin like us?"

"Haruko, Kakashi passed the Jonin exam not long ago because of his outstanding ability." Nohara Lin explained helplessly, "You, at least pay more attention to exams."

Exam? Concerned?

Whether they are separated or put together, they are all words that Haruko respectfully declines.

Haruko chose to be indignant, "I didn't expect Kakashi to work hard behind our backs again, this is too much!"

"Sorry, sorry! We're a little delayed!" Uchiha Obito ran to them, panting.

Nohara Rin waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and handed him a flyer as well, "Obito, remember this too, I'll go give them to Hong and Asuma first."

After Nohara Rin left, Uchiha Obito read it carefully and then expressed the same indignation as Haruko, "When did Kakashi become a jonin before me?!"

Haruko patted his shoulder to comfort him, "It's okay, I don't know anything about it."

Uchiha Obito gave her a strange look, "Don't you know it's normal?"

Haruko:......

I want to take back my comforting hand!

In order to retaliate against Uchiha Obito's vicious slander, Haruko decided to give his nemesis Hatake Kakashi a big and elaborate gift.

"So you came to me to give a gift to another man?" Orochimaru uttered sinister words.

"No, no, no, it's a boy, not a man." Haruko corrected herself, otherwise if people told others about it, people would think she was a young girl trying to get an old man.

"It's all the same to me." Orochimaru stopped the experiment in his hand, "Why did you come to me when you knew my personality?"

Haruko pointed at his now expressionless face, "In a way, you're actually the one closest to Kakashi in personality."

The narcissistic Jiraiya is most similar to the arrogant Uchiha Obito, while the sometimes gentle but mostly irritable Tsunade is more similar to the considerate Nohara Rin.

The remaining Hatake Kakashi can never be like the dark and hiding Higurashi, so let him be paired with Orochimaru!

Haruko was very satisfied with the match she had made in her mind.

It was really frustrating to be told by the person he loved that his personality was similar to other men. Orochimaru began to think about whether he should cultivate a unique personality.

"So what kind of gift would Orochimaru like?" Haruko smiled ingratiatingly.

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and did not answer for a moment. He first packed up the experiment in his hand, and then slowly spoke under Haruko's anxious eyes: "I don't have a gift I like."

"Huh?!" Haruko collapsed, her expectations in vain.

"Do you care about that kid named Kakashi?" Orochimaru asked back.

After marrying Obito, Kakashi is the next gift recipient...

As if finally realizing that an adult was jealous of a child, Haruko explained seriously: "Kakashi is a very important friend, and he is different from Orochimaru."

"Oh? How's it different?" Orochimaru waited for her answer with interest.

Haruko said slowly: "Orochimaru is a very important person to me now and in the past, so I will stay with Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru's assets! They must be hers!

Haruko excitedly counted in her mind how staggering the total amount was after she had swindled all of Orochimaru and the others' assets.

Although he noticed that she was saying one thing and doing another, Orochimaru still felt pleased to hear such undisguised special treatment and touched her head, as if to praise her for her good answer.

"Then I'll come and play with Orochimaru next time! I have a very important mission now!" She wants to take revenge on Uchiha Obito!

"When is the next time?" Orochimaru asked relentlessly.

This really made Haruko very angry, and she silently complained that Orochimaru had no perception of polite words at all.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, and looked cute with her brows furrowed in thought, Orochimaru opened his lips and said, "Then let's go three days later. I want to take you to a place."

"Three days later..." Haruko recalled that she didn't seem to have anything to do, so she agreed.

Under Orochimaru's satisfied gaze, Haruko said goodbye and pushed the door open to leave.

Orochimaru stood alone in the laboratory, and once again felt the warmth of the laboratory that she had brought, which he had not felt for a long time.

It was so warm and dazzling that he couldn't help but want to hide...

Just as Mitarashi Anko was about to go to Orochimaru's laboratory, she almost bumped into a girl wearing a veil when she turned the corner. After saying sorry to each other, Mitarashi Anko just stood there in a daze and watched her leave.

The direction she came out from seemed to be Orochimaru's laboratory?

But why would Orochimaru allow anyone other than himself to enter the laboratory? Except...

Oh, except who?

Mitarashi Anko felt a little strange, but didn't pay much attention to it and continued to go to the laboratory with the documents.

Pushing open the door, Mitarashi Anko greeted Orochimaru first, "Teacher, I have brought all the information."

"Well, leave it there." Orochimaru responded coldly.

After struggling for a long time, Mitarashi Anko couldn't resist her curiosity and asked carefully: "Teacher, I just met a girl wearing a veil in the corridor. She is..."

Orochimaru glared at her with sharp eyes until her face gradually turned pale, then he raised the corners of his mouth, and the coldness from before disappeared at all.

Replied with interest: "It's my luck... and rebirth."

Lucky? Rebirth?

Mitarashi Anko didn't quite understand, but under Orochimaru's extremely oppressive gaze, she didn't dare to ask any further and concentrated on her work as an assistant.

That girl looks so familiar, but where have I seen her before?
