Lurking in Konoha, part-time Hokage

It's August.

After entering summer, Konoha Village has become a lot hotter.

"I'm going to the hospital first. See you all tomorrow."

Hanekawa said goodbye to Sarutobi Asuma and others at the intersection.

After he left, Kurenai Yuhi, who had gone to Maruhoshi Kosuke's house first, reappeared.

"Red, are you sure today is Hanekawa's birthday?"

Sarutobi Asuma asked.

"certainly!"

Kurenai Yuhi raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "No one knows Hanekawa better than me!"

Sarutobi Asuma was suddenly stuffed with a mouthful of dog food and immediately regretted asking this question.

It’s so uncomfortable, Laoma!

Uchiha Obito looked like he wanted to escape but couldn't.

He didn't want to stay to celebrate Hanekawa's birthday, but for Nohara Lin, he had no choice but to stay.

"let's go."

Nohara Rin glanced at Yuhi Kurenai, suppressed the envy in her heart, turned around and walked towards the commercial street of Konoha Village.

"What do you want to give?"

Matt Kay scratched his head and said, "I don't know what to give."

He thought about green tights, but he had already given them away before, so there was no need to repeat them.

"Send books."

Hatake Kakashi had already thought about it before and explained, "Hanekawa likes to read books in class."

"Then I'll give it to you too!"

Matt Kai's eyes lit up and he said.

"It's not good to give the same gift."

Hatake Kakashi shook his head and said.

"Ah? Is that so?"

Matt Kay suddenly fell into confusion.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it when we get there."

Hatake Kakashi looked at him scratching his head and suggested.

"Lin, what do you want to buy?"

Uchiha Obito had an idea and said, "I can help you pay."

As long as he pays, it means it is his gift.

Did Nohara Rin send it? Such as sending.

"no."

Nohara Rin didn't want to refuse and said, "How can I ask you to pay?"

"Then go to the gift shop and pick something out."

Uchiha Obito said quickly.

"Birthdays only come once a year, so you can't be so careless."

Nohara Lin looked at him and said seriously, "And Hanekawa usually helps us a lot."

Uchiha Obito nodded bravely.

He knew that Nohara Lin would definitely be angry if he objected again.

"Hong, what are you going to buy?"

Uchiha Shisui spoke at the right time, interrupting the chat between the two.

"Buying clothes!"

A smile appeared on Yuhi Hong's face, "I had my eye on a kimono before. Hanekawa will definitely look good in it!"

It was indeed close enough.

Nohara Lin pursed her lips.

Even if she wanted to buy clothes, she didn't know Hanekawa's size.

"I want to buy a set of medical ninja equipment. I wonder if he likes it?"

Uchiha Shisui asked in consultation.

"He'll love it."

Yuhi Kurenai thought for a while and said, "And he often goes to Konoha Hospital, so he will definitely need it."

"That's good."

Uchiha Shisui looked around and said, "I'll go to the ninja shop first. In an hour, everyone will meet outside Tsunade-sama's house."

Everyone nodded and watched him leave.

"The bookstore has arrived."

Hatake Kakashi noticed the Konoha Knowledge Bookstore not far away and said, "See you later."

He walked right in.

As soon as it was imported, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

I saw a huge poster posted at the door.

"Black Beast" by the best-selling novelist Lei Huojian will be adapted into a comic book next month. Pre-orders are welcome!

In addition to this line of words, there are two elf ladies with pointed ears, one of whom is actually black-skinned.

Hatake Kakashi was subconsciously attracted.

This was the first time he saw such an exotic elf that was different from humans.

Of course, the most important thing was to wear too cool clothes, which made his mouth dry.

Especially the black-skinned elves, so cool!

"Children, minors are not allowed to purchase."

At this moment, a young woman, an employee of Konoha Bookstore, walked up.

Hatake Kakashi was shocked.

It turned out to be a book that adults read.

Infinite curiosity arose in his heart, but he finally suppressed it.

"Kid, what book do you want to buy?"

The young woman asked with a smile, "You tell me your requirements and I can recommend them for you."

"I want to give a book as a gift to a friend who just turned ten."

Hatake Kakashi said truthfully.

"Is he a student at a ninja school?"

The young woman noticed the ninja sword on Hatake Kakashi's back and asked.

"Um."

Hatake Kakashi nodded.

"I have a book here that he might like."

The young woman turned around, and after a while, she took out a book, "The Story of Strong Perseverance, Written by Jiraiya-sama."

"Is that Lord Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas?"

Kakashi Hatake asked in a surprised tone.

"That's him."

The young woman smiled and said, "Many ninjas particularly love this book."

"Then this one!"

Kakashi Hatake bought it without hesitation.

The smile on the young woman's face became even stronger.

The backlog of inventory is finally reduced by one book.

But she didn't lie, she just omitted half a sentence.

That is, except for some ninjas, no one bought it at all, and the sales volume was so bad that only one batch was printed and not sold out.

However, Jiraiya's second novel "Interracial Interracial Paradise" is quite good, although it is suspected of imitating the Thunder Fire Sword.

The remaining three people came to the gift shop.

It was Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito and Matt Kai.

Yuhi Kurenai went to a clothing store because she wanted to buy clothes.

Sarutobi Asuma was mysterious and didn't say any gifts, but he didn't come with them and just left.

"Lin, what are you buying? Let me take it as a reference."

Uchiha Obito suddenly remembered that Nohara Rin didn't say what she wanted to buy before.

"Pen."

Nohara Lin said without hiding anything.

She often asked Hanekawa questions, and sometimes he answered them by handwriting.

In addition, as a student, a pen is indispensable.

"That's it."

Uchiha Obito secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Giving a pen sounds more ordinary and not so intimate.

"Then I'll give you a notebook!"

Uchiha Obito said excitedly.

Because the notebook and pen are matching.

"Um."

Nohara Lin nodded slightly and walked into the stationery store next to her.

Uchiha Obito quickly followed.

"Wow! So many gifts!"

As soon as Matt Kay walked into the gift shop, he couldn't help but exclaim.

He usually doesn't have many friends, and Hatake Kakashi doesn't care about gifts. This time he just heard about Hanekawa's birthday, so he came over.

For him, visiting a gift shop was his first time.

"Hello."

The clerk walked up and asked, "Do you want to buy anything?"

"Is there any gift of youth?"

Matt Kay asked with excitement on his face.

"youth?"

The clerk was thoughtful and quickly brought out many cherry blossom gifts and said, "These gifts are all suitable for girlfriends."

"ah?"

Matt Kay was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "It's not for my girlfriend."

"???"

The clerk's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Boyfriend?"

"No, it's my classmate's birthday."

Matt Kay looked at her with confusion.

He didn't quite understand why the clerk had such a big reaction.

"I recommend sporting goods."

The clerk resisted the desire to complain and said with a smile on his face.

"This is good!"

Matt Kai's eyes lit up and he said, "We can have a youth sports showdown with Hanekawa!"

Is there something wrong with your youth?

The clerk finally couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Matt Kay made a selection and bought a tennis ball.

An hour later, everyone who had bought gifts gathered at the training ground outside Tsunade's house.

Since Hanekawa hasn't come back yet, they are not in a hurry and continue training.

It wasn't until Tsunade came home with the big cake that they ended their training and entered the living room one after another.

"This kid is indeed popular."

Tsunade looked at everyone hiding behind the sofa and couldn't help but smile.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Just yesterday, they came to the door and said they wanted to give Hanekawa a birthday surprise.

Tsunade naturally wouldn't refuse, so she agreed to help them.

Night falls.

Hanekawa left Konoha Hospital.

Today was a little busier than usual. He had one more surgery, which delayed his time.

"I guess the teacher is hungry again."

Hanekawa couldn't help but smile and quickened his pace.

After staying with Tsunade for almost four years, he had long been accustomed to feeding him every day.

"Not back?"

Hanekawa was surprised when he saw that the house had no lights on.

However, Tsunade came back late due to gambling, so this happened several times.

Hanekawa took out the key and opened the door.

He suddenly raised his eyebrows, his face showing alertness.

Just then, the lights came on.

Not a headlamp, but a candle.

"Happy birthday, Hanekawa!"

Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara and others gathered around a cake and shouted to him in unison.

"Thanks."

Hanekawa was stunned, his heart warmed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Make a wish and blow out the candles."

Tsunade smiled and said.

She was quite happy to see this scene, it reminded her of Senju Hashirama's ideal.

Maybe Hanekawa can do it after becoming Hokage.

"Um."

Hanekawa stepped forward, clasped his hands together, made a wish, and blew out the candle with force.

"Eat the cake first."

In a rare act of diligence, Tsunade took out her knife, cut out the cake, and gave it to them.

After eating the cake, it was time to give gifts.

"Hanekawa."

Yuhi Hong took out an exquisite gift box and warned, "Open it after you get home."

She wanted to see Hanekawa put on new clothes.

"OK."

Hanekawa looked at it curiously and put it away.

"Let's have a tennis match tomorrow when we are free!"

Matt Kay took out a tennis racket and said excitedly.

"Thanks."

Hanekawa's mouth twitched.

Did you buy this gift for yourself?

"This is for you."

Hatake Kakashi took out a book.

"...?"

Hanekawa was speechless while watching "The Legend of Strong Perseverance".

He had read this novel written by Jiraiya a long time ago, but from a modern perspective, it was difficult to finish in one sentence.

"Hanekawa, thank you for your guidance."

Nohara Rin said seriously.

"And my gift."

Uchiha Obito didn't wait for Hanekawa to answer Nohara Rin, and he handed it to Nohara Rin.

Finally it was Sarutobi Asuma's turn. He didn't say much, he just said that you will be satisfied.

Because most of them were wrapped in gift boxes, Hanekawa didn't know what they were giving.

Uchiha Shisui didn't use a gift box, but gave him a set of ninja tools used by medical ninjas.

"See you tomorrow."

An hour later, the birthday party ended and everyone said goodbye and left.

"Your friends are pretty nice."

Tsunade smiled and said.

"Indeed."

Hanekawa cleared the dining table and said.

"What did you wish for this year?"

Tsunade crossed her arms and complained, "Don't be the same person as last year."

"You guessed it right, but there's no reward."

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and said.

"It's the same wish every year, is it still a wish?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's called a curse."

"It's not bad if the curse succeeds."

Hanekawa said without caring.

"You really want me to be Hokage?"

Tsunade asked confused.

"If you become Hokage, I can walk around Konoha Village and no one dares to mess with me!"

Hanekawa coughed slightly and said.

"You do know how to dream!"

Tsunade raised her hand dissatisfiedly and flicked his forehead.

"Huh? There's no way to do it?"

Hanekawa blinked and asked.

"Just wait!"

Tsunade stood up, speechless, and said, "It depends on my mood!"

"teacher."

Hanekawa conjured up a gift box and said, "Happy birthday."

Tsunade looked slightly startled.

She took the gift box and said, "I didn't prepare a gift, so I'll take this instead."

Tsunade bent down and kissed him on the cheek.

"Huh?"

Hanekawa was caught off guard by her sudden attack.

He didn't react until she left and showed a pity expression.

Too fast! He didn't even have a chance to fight back!

Absolutely abominable!

But the only good news is that it's not the forehead this time, so nothing will probably happen.

Hanekawa finished washing the dishes and reappeared in the living room.

He sat across from Tsunade and took out all the gift boxes.

Unboxing is undoubtedly a pleasure.

Especially if it’s a blind box, it’s double happiness.

"Remember to ask for leave tomorrow."

Tsunade suddenly thought of something and said.

"Ask for leave?"

Hanekawa opened Nohara Lin's gift box and asked, "Is there a new mission?"

"Um."

Tsunade explained, "Anbu just came over to inform me that the old man has a mission he wants to assign to me."

There are two types of missions for ninjas.

One is to go to the mission hall and choose by yourself.

One is designated by the top brass of Konoha, especially the Hokage.

Under general circumstances, the latter cannot be refused.

"The ANBU didn't say what the specific mission was."

Tsunade said nonchalantly, "Because it's your birthday, I'm not in a hurry to see the old man."

"The task I asked you to take is not suitable for me, right?"

Hanekawa looked at Nohara Rin's gift. In addition to the pen, there was also a sachet.

"We'll see what happens tomorrow."

Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "If it's too difficult, then refuse."

"Teacher, aren't you afraid that Hokage-sama will be angry?"

Hanekawa couldn't help but laugh.

"Whatever he wants."

Tsunade said confidently, "Jiraiya is outside every day and he doesn't care."

"The teacher is right!"

Hanekawa echoed.

He finally understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen had little authority in front of Tsunade.

In addition to his own personality, the main reason is that he has not established an image as a Hokage and a teacher.

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. This is probably what it means.

Four thousand words.
