My Hokage Journey

After a warm dinner, the father and son had a long talk.

However, after chatting for so long, Tanakachuan actually couldn't understand too many twists and turns. The only thing he understood was the fact that Lu Ming survived the catastrophe.

"Why don't you discuss it with Hokage-sama, can you stop being a ninja?" Tanakagawa looked at him expectantly. This was a father's wish, but the other party was destined to give an answer he didn't want to hear.

Of course he understands Tanakagawa's worries. Ninjas are risky and need to be cautious when entering the industry, but it's like getting on a wooden boat and it starts leaking halfway through the row. Can you turn back at this time? No, instead of turning back, why not row all the way to the end to see what's going on? What is the final scenery like, and he himself enjoys this profession.

"Dad, don't worry. I can still ensure my own safety now." Lu Ming smiled and reassured, but it was also literal. Now he does have the ability to protect himself. It's not just him bragging.

As a bento shop owner and chef, Tanakagawa really knew very little about war. As an ordinary person, his common sense told him that going to the battlefield was dangerous, unsafe, and not guaranteed. , there is no safer place than here in Konoha Village.

However, he also knew clearly that he could not persuade the other party. This young man who seemed young but had adult thoughts had always had his own plans.

"How long will you stay when you come back this time?" Tanakagawa no longer dwelled on the previous question, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. The Hokage sent someone to send you a pension before. Now that you are back, the pension Do you want to return it to the village?”

Although he is not that thirsty for money now, he cannot spit out the meat in his mouth. This is considered the hard-earned money that he has earned through hard work.

"No, just put it away. Hokage-sama is not such a stingy person." Lu Ming said with a smile, "If it takes a long time to come back this time, it will take a few months. If it is a short time, I can't say. It mainly depends on the details of the front line. situation."

"Okay, I'll keep it first."

…………

As night fell, Lu Ming put on a comfortable yukata after taking a shower, feeling the comfort of having nothing to do and walking around the streets of Konoha.

After leaving for a long time, Konoha Village has a few more bustling streets, which seem to have just been built.

Walking around all the way, this street called Zhuque Street is brand-new and lively from the inside out.

The fireworks this night were no less than the scenes during the Chinese New Year. Children laughing and joking were weaving in and out of the dense crowd, holding in their hands the cloud-like marshmallows they had just bought, either white or pink, running around. When they were tired, they took a bite, and it was so sweet that they unconsciously smiled happily.

Fried noodle stalls, fishing for goldfish, guessing charades, circling, and juggling performances...it was packed with people, and many people gathered in front of each stall, while the lanterns on the street illuminated the entire market as if it were daytime.

Although he had just had dinner, Lu Ming couldn't help but be attracted by the atmosphere. He found a dessert stall and sat down, listening to the excitement around him while waiting for his dessert.

Seeing the boss bring a bowl of light yellow square objects, Lu Ming also asked curiously, "What is this?"

The boss smiled and said, "Brother, this is a new creation from the stall. It is made from ground chestnut powder and some other ingredients. It has a smooth surface, but it has the fragrance of chestnuts and is sweet."

Lu Ming picked up the spoon and took a sip. Sure enough, it felt like a bomb in the mouth, but it had the aroma of chestnuts. There seemed to be another aroma hidden in it. He smiled. This should be regarded as the boss's unique secret recipe, otherwise it would not be attractive. So many young girls and boys who sat down and savored it.

…………

"Hey, Minato, Mikoto, let's try that one again, shall we!" Kushina seemed to be full of energy tonight, actively encouraging the two of them, eating, drinking and playing tirelessly.

Of course Minato nodded and said yes, Mikoto didn't dampen the other's interest and agreed with a smile.

"Mikoto Mikoto, how do you solve the lantern riddle with half, half, and half?"

"It's really difficult..."

"Should be friends."

"Wow, it seems true. Mikoto, you are really awesome." After saying that, he turned to the stall owner with a devilish smile, "Boss, here's the reward!"

&

nbsp;The result is that each of them is carrying a unique lantern. Mikoto's is in the shape of a twelve-petal lotus, which is very delicately made, while Kushina's is in the shape of a carp, with a fish tail raised high, and it is very agile. But the reason why she chose this lantern was just that it looked more interesting.

"Minato, there is a more powerful riddle here."

"How do I know..."

"Hey, Mikoto is more useful." Kushina sighed deliberately, and Mikoto also smiled at the right time, and the two of them burst into laughter.

Minato scratched his head helplessly, "Isn't it my fault that I can't figure it out? You didn't just come out too!"

Forget it, just be happy today. Then he smiled knowingly and followed the pace of the two people in front of him.

…………

Osmanthus cake, tempura, and some unnamed snacks and pastries, Lu Ming indulged in them with his stomach open, but soon he gave up. The main reason was that he had eaten too much for dinner. He patted his slightly curved belly and smiled awkwardly.

At this time, a melodious tune suddenly came from the front, causing people passing by to gather around involuntarily and enjoy this wonderful feast from a foreign land.

Her golden wavy hair is scattered down, with green gemstones inlaid on it. Her tall nose bridge and enchanting figure, paired with the unique exotic clothes, create a strong exotic trend in this small area. out.

As the song ended and the performers joined their hands, the people around them woke up and burst into thunderous applause.

Even judging from Lu Ming's past life experience, this is enough to be regarded as a visual enjoyment. Don't be stingy and applaud as much as you want.

As Lu Ming glanced over, his eyes lit up. The man seemed to be holding a guitar. He really missed it.

"Do you want to give it a try?" Seeing Lu Ming staring at the guitar, the foreign girl stretched out her left hand and asked curiously.

He nodded and walked forward, "Well, I want to give it a try."

"Okay, no problem, but can you use it?" She still had some doubts about such a young boy, but when she saw the other person holding the guitar skillfully, she was relieved.

It's a bit like a school graduation party. Everyone below focuses their eyes on you, and it feels familiar and natural.

I gently plucked the strings a few times, and filtered out a few relatively skilled pieces in my mind. There were not many choices, but this way I would avoid getting entangled, and it was not just to be cool, it was really a feeling and a nostalgia...

"Mikoto, there seems to be a lot of people gathered in front. There seems to be a performance. Do you want to go and see it?"

"it is good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina took Mikoto's hand and pushed towards the crowd, seeming to have forgotten that there was a follower carrying snacks behind her.

And the follower could only helplessly smile and follow him.

"The setting sun on the horizon once again reflects on my face, and once again reflects on my restless heart. This place is still so desolate, and the endless journey is so long..."

The young man attracted everyone's ears as soon as he opened his mouth. Even the small whispers disappeared at this moment, and the blonde exotic beauty just now showed an expression of wonder on her face, as if she should not be a young man of such an age. A performance as it should be.

At this time, Kushina and Mikoto had already squeezed out of the crowd on the side. It was really the first time for Mikoto to force her way in like this. What kind of performance could be so interesting without the restraint of the eldest lady of the family?

She raised her head and saw the profile of a young man wearing a gray yukata. He had black hair reaching his waist. He was sitting on the edge of the stage. He was holding an instrument she had never seen before, and he was playing and singing quietly. .

Mikoto's pupils suddenly shrank, and slowly began to move towards the opponent's front.

Suddenly she couldn't move her eyes away anymore. The figure of the boy playing and singing with his eyes closed appeared in front of her, and Kushina next to her also had a huge mouth and a look of disbelief on her face.

"Always in my dreams, I see your helpless eyes, and my heart is awakened again. Always in my dreams, I see myself walking on the road home, and you stand under the sunset with a beautiful face. That is your dress. Manfei, that's because you are as gentle as water..."

The lights on both sides of the market were bright, and people were coming and going. Amidst the roar of applause, the young man who opened his eyes saw the gentle girl in front of him for the first time. He suddenly sighed in his heart, he is really lucky!
