Naruto and Shadow

“Thank you for your hard work, Shizune.”

Gently closing the door to the Hokage’s office, Hino Hikaru saw his face flushed outside, but still insisted on showing Shizune at his”post” outside.

“I…hard work?”

You guys are in the office…that’s really hard work, right?

Shizune felt that she just stood outside for a little longer, so it can’t be considered hard work, right?

“Just for classmates, Tsunade-sama is already very tired from working every day, and… in broad daylight, if other ninjas come to see Tsunade-sama, or accidentally hear something outside, the impact will be very bad.……”

In the past, no one would see any mischief at home, but now he was misbehaving in the Hokage’s office…

Shizune felt that Hino Hikaru was a little too”unruly”.

The same goes for Tsunade-sama… she was too indulgent today.

However…

Tsunade-sama has indeed been under too much pressure recently, so let her be willful once in a while.

This is one of the reasons why Shizune did not object today, but obediently went out to stand guard.

But now when she heard Hino Hikaru suddenly tell her that she had worked hard, Shizune felt a little weird no matter how she heard it.

This guy seems to be a little too immoral lately.

It was the same last time. He actually let Tsunade-sama step on him with her feet… it was such a perverted hobby.

“I mean, thank you for all the hard work, Shizune.”

Hino Hikaru felt that Tsunade became a mature Hokage, thanks to Shizune who often wiped Tsunade’s butt behind her back.

So Hino Hikaru said this hard work very seriously.

“Tsunade is sometimes willful and impulsive, and has a bad temper. She used to be very troublesome to you when she was not Hokage. Now that she is Hokage, I’m afraid… you must be the one who has had the hardest time during this period of time.”

“……”

No, didn’t it mean that she had a hard time standing outside watching the wind just now?

Shizune lowered her head in embarrassment.

Her pretty face turned as red as blood again.

I just said so much, it turned out that she had misunderstood it……

“I…Tsunade is like a family member to me, there is no such thing as hard work or not.”

“No, even between relatives, you still need to be considerate of the hardships.”

Hino Hikaru touched Shizune’s head.

Although the girl’s plumpness has not improved at all, her height has changed quite quickly. It has almost grown from his chest to his neck.

The thirteen-year-old girl is really The peak period of growth and development…

In comparison, Lin was more obvious before.

When she threw herself into his arms, it almost felt like hitting someone with a ball.

“The”water droplets” are becoming more and more condensed, and they are almost becoming big”water droplets”

“Also, when you helped change the sheets before, I forgot to say thank you to you, so I made up for it today.”

“What… make up? You are indeed not…not serious……”

Shizune shook off Hino Hikaru’s touch on her head, then raised her eyes and continued to glare with a red face.

I don’t know where I touched Tsunade’s hand, and then I touched her head…

Ah, isn’t there anything sticky?

After escaping Hino Hikari’s clutches, Shizune secretly touched the top of her head with her hands.

Fortunately… it just had a slightly familiar”flavor”, and there was no sticky residue as she thought.

The girl felt slightly relieved

“Am I not serious? When you changed the sheets recently, I secretly watched your actions afterwards. You seemed to like to pick them up from the water and smell them while washing them.……”

“I didn’t!”

Shizune blushed and steam came out from the top of her head.

She, she was just curious about the smell, so she accidentally smelled it a few more times…

Of course, Shizune couldn’t tell Hino Hikaru. She was curious at first, but then somehow, She is a little addicted to this weird smell, so she smells it every time.

However, every time she smells it, she has to look around several times. She only does it when no one is around…

So, is this guy hiding? Where are you spying on her?

What a pervert!

“Well, just pretend you don’t.”

The look of the girl blowing up her hair is quite cute.

And with Shizune’s character, she rarely shows such an expression.

Hino Hikaru looked satisfied when he bullied the girl in front of him.

It’s not in vain that he was holding Tsunade before. At the same time, on a whim, I used my clairvoyance ability to peek at Shizune’s actions.

“I……”

Shizune gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, as if Hino Hikaru would die with her if she continued speaking.

“By the way, I heard from Tsunade that Kushina is in very bad condition recently?”

Hino Hikaru also knew that it would be rude to Shizune if he continued talking, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

“Yes, I heard from Mikoto-san and Lin that Kushina-san has been on a hunger strike for several days.”

Hearing Hino Hikaru mention Kushina, Shizune couldn’t help but have a worried look on her face.

Her childhood sweetheart died just like that, Sister Kushina is so pitiful now……

“Hunger strike?”

Hino Hikaru remembered that the previous Kushina could eat several large bowls of ramen by herself, and her appetite was extremely good.

“No wonder Tsunade is so worried……”

“Tsunade-sama cares so much…actually there are other reasons.”

Shizune took Hino Hikaru all the way from the door of the Hokage’s office to the entrance of the Hokage building.

The death of Minato Namikaze was also a big blow to Tsunade.

Because she had already canceled the role of Minato Namikaze from the third generation before. The Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen accepted the mission to capture Uchiha Shisui, but Minato Namikaze was still unwilling to give up.

However, in fact, as the Hokage, Tsunade could actually prevent Minato Namikaze from leaving the village, so Tsunade Hand believes that she must bear some responsibility for Namikaze Minato’s death.

What’s more……

“That day, Sister Kushina had a nightmare about Minato-sensei’s death and clamored to leave the village, but Tsunade-sama refused very simply, so……”

Now Tsunade feels a little guilty when facing Kushina.

She was even a little afraid that Kushina would resent her for this in the future.

This is also the reason why Tsunade did not dare to comfort Kushina in person even once after she had emotional problems due to Namikaze Minato’s death.

“Is there such a thing?”

After listening to Shizune’s story, Hino Hikaru couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

When did Kushina have the ability to have precognitive dreams?

However, I didn’t expect that Tsunade asked him to comfort Kushina, and there was such a”story” in it.”In the middle.

This is really… more complicated than imagined.

“I know, and I will take care of Kushina to return to normal as soon as possible.”

Speaking of which, I haven’t seen this cheap teacher for a long time.

Hino Hikaru also wanted to see Kushina.

But…

I didn’t expect that it would be like this after seeing each other for so long.

Namikaze Minato died too suddenly… and Kushina had just rejected Namikaze Minato’s proposal, and Namikaze Minato died not long after…

Hino Hikaru can completely understand Kushina’s complicated and tangled mood now, and maybe she is the same as Tsunade. There must be a feeling of guilt.

After comprehensively understanding all the situations, Hino Hikaru can almost guess Kushina’s current mood.

However, how Kushina is now, we still have to meet her to know.

——

“Hino…he didn’t seem to have any change in his attitude toward me because of my tantrum that day.……”

After saying goodbye to Nohara Rin and visiting Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto returned home alone.

Recalling today’s encounter with Hino Hikaru, Uchiha Mikoto felt that her previous speculation about Hino Hikari was more or less”self-centered”.

“That’s right, how could he care about such a trivial thing, about someone like me?……”

What about an inexplicable wife like her?

She lost her temper without permission and thought the other person was angry without permission.

But there’s actually nothing… so pretentious.

Uchiha Mikoto took off her boots, and her bare feet without slippers made a gentle tapping sound on the floor.

“I’m too sensitive, and maybe if I didn’t say hello to him much today, he would notice that I……”

He found out that she was deliberately alienating him.

This was completely inconsistent with the persona she had created in front of Hino Hikari as the patriarch’s wife and the gentle elder sister.

He will definitely notice that something is wrong with him now.

He shook his head and sighed quietly.

Uchiha Mikoto sat on the big bed in the room with dull eyes.

The soft buttocks spread out on the bed like a futon into two round fans.

She had promised not to think about that ‘accident’ anymore, but every time she met him, she still cared about him excessively.

“Uchiha Mikoto, you should return to your normal self. When you treat him, you should treat him in the same normal way as before.……”

He patted his cheek gently with his palm.

Uchiha Mikoto got up and got out of bed again, walked to the edge of the cabinet, and rummaged through the cabinet to find the dress that Kushina had agreed to buy together.

“……It’s better to dress more modestly.”

After looking at the new skirt in front of the mirror for a long time, Uchiha Mikoto took the clothes back into the closet and took out a more homely sweater and trousers.

“No, it’s too plain.……”

A slim-fitting sweater is fine, but dark-colored trousers are still too plain and frumpy.

Even if it wasn’t for…

I shouldn’t be wearing such tacky clothes now.

The belly of the mistress her husband brought back is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and now she is becoming more and more unbearable in the clan.

What kind of patriarchal wife is she?

Occasionally, her husband would come over to see her when he remembered her, as if he were looking at a rare thing in a zoo.

I stayed in that woman’s house without remembering it, and even asked her to name the unborn child in order to make her, the real patriarch’s wife, feel involved.

“Ah……”

Don’t be angry, you can’t be angry.

Fugaku’s brain was broken because of Shisui, she couldn’t be angry.

Moreover, she also has Itachi……

“Itachi?”

Isn’t Itachi not at home today?

He put on his slippers and walked out of the bedroom. Uchiha Mikoto knocked on her son’s room.

But there was no response.

She probably went out to practice ninjutsu.……

“Um?”

Uchiha Mikoto, who walked to the door of the house and was about to open the door to look for Uchiha Itachi, happened to see the pregnant woman who had returned from Konoha Hospital walking with her husband and her son Uchiha Itachi in the clan grounds. , talking and laughing…

This scene of happiness, as if there was a family over there, made Uchiha Mikoto’s heart hurt. Unexpectedly, even Itachi…

After taking a look, the married woman quickly closed the door. She opened her own door, and then subconsciously hid behind the door panel.

She didn’t dare and couldn’t look over there anymore. She even began to be afraid that people over there would notice her.

She was really an embarrassing outsider.

——

“teacher?”

Hino Hikaru quickly arrived at the door of Kushina’s house.

The door was unlocked.

“Teacher, am I coming in?”

After walking into the living room, Hino Hikaru discovered that the bedroom room was locked.

Through perspective, you could clearly see Kushina herself curled up in a ball on the bed in the bedroom.

Facing his arrival, and There was no sign of getting up or any other reaction to his voice.

When he came to the locked door, Hino Hikaru saw the food placed at the door without touching a bite.

“Did you really not even eat?”

Hino Hikaru turned the door handle of the room and found that the door was locked from the inside.

But this could not stop him at all.

Using his telekinesis tentacles to penetrate the door panel, Hino Hikaru easily opened the locked door.

“teacher?”

When he opened the door, Hino Hikaru saw Kushina’s body curled up on the bed still motionless.

Kushina’s state was indeed very wrong.……

“Are you really planning to starve yourself to death?”

Hino Hikaru walked to the edge of the bed.

Only then did he notice that Kushina’s eyes were always open.

��I……”

Kushina did mean to punish herself.

She felt that if she had not rejected Namikaze Minato so outright that day, maybe Namikaze Minato would not have gone so deep into the enemy’s territory.

Moreover, she knew that Namikaze Minato was too obsessed with perfection, and the Third Hokage had used her freedom of marriage as a reward for completing the mission, so he, who had never failed a mission before, was so determined to capture Uchiha. Shisui’s mission.

Then she missed because she was too aggressive…

She had a hunch before. How could there be anyone in the ninja world who never failed a mission? Minato’s perfection was also his shortcoming.

Even though she knew this, she failed to stop Minato…

Moreover, she also failed to save Minato from the hands of his enemies like when Minato saved her from the ninjas of Kumogakure Village when she was a child.……

“I’m a loser, I killed Minato……”

Thinking like this, Kushina’s body curled up even more, and tears began to accumulate in her already red and swollen eyes again.

It made Hino Hikaru feel a little distressed.

“No, it was Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito who killed the Namikaze Jonin.”

Sure enough, Kushina is indeed blaming herself, and she seems to be blaming herself very seriously.

“Watergate……”

It seems that she didn’t hear Hikaru’s words, Kushina still cried and blamed herself while calling Namikaze Minato’s name

“No wonder even Lin showed that expression……”

Seeing that Jiuxin in front of him has completely entered the self-hypnosis self-blame mode.

Hino Hikaru felt a little dizzy for a while

“��The Feng Shui Sect is dead. Are you planning to die for him now?”

Anyway, let’s say something serious first to make her wake up a little bit.

“Martyrdom……”

Kushina, who had been murmuring Minato’s name, finally showed some signs of coming back to her senses.

With tears in her eyes, Kushina shook her head subconsciously, and finally turned her head from lying on her side on the bed to look at Hino Hikari’s figure.

“Light……”
