Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

After quickly getting away from the crowd, Shirataki slowed down a little, lowered his head and walked silently in the middle of the road, thinking about what had just happened.

"It seems that among the people who spread the rumors is the woman who is sleeping with Kotsubaki. Was it under the orders of Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

"What's the purpose? To warn me? Or simply to disgust me?"

"Is it possible that even the Hokage faction is brazenly engaging in such little tricks now? It's obviously starting to target me. Do other factions know these things?"

"Aren't they afraid that I'll give up? As far as I know, apart from me, there shouldn't be any other ninjas who are proficient in the sealing technique in Konoha, right?"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through him quickly. What happened this time made him aware that at least Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't trust him as much as he saw.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a green figure behind him, quickly approaching his position.

Shirataki stopped walking again and looked sideways. The person who came was moving very quickly. Within a moment, he was standing two meters away from him. It was Matt Dai, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes wearing green tights. .

"You are." Although he knew who the other party was in his heart, Bai Taki still pretended not to know on the surface, with a look of doubt on his face, as if he didn't understand the other party's intention to stop him.

Matt Dai chuckled, straightened his back subconsciously, pressed his thumb on his chest, and replied with a smile on his face, "First time we meet, Mr. Shirataki, my name is Matt Dai."

After saying that, without waiting for Shirataki to react, Matdai bent down slightly, suddenly stretched out his palm to the latter, and at the same time praised loudly, "I heard the speech you just made at the gate of the Ninja School, and I have to say, I admire your courage very much, so I, Matt Dai, would like to make friends with you!”

The smile on Matt Dai's face was very pure, which made Bai Taki, who had just been thinking about various conspiracies, not used to it, and felt very awkward in his heart.

However, seeing that Matt Dai seemed to want to shake hands with him, Shirataki didn't think much. He stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and then smiled and said "Nice to meet you."

He noticed that Bai Taki's eyes looked at him, but he didn't show anything strange, nor did he look down on himself like ordinary people. Although Matt Dai felt very happy in his heart, his face did not show much abnormality, but the smile on his lips seemed more hearty and sincere.

Perhaps because he felt that Bai Taki had accepted him as a friend, when the hands of both parties loosened, Matt Dai walked to Bai Taki without saying anything, and said quickly as if he had opened a chat box, "Honestly, Bai Taki, I started Don’t believe the bad things they say about you.”

Matt Dai's voice sounds quite thick, and if combined with his rugged appearance and solid body shape, it can invisibly give people a strong sense of power. Shirataki felt that this might not only be because Matt Dai specializes in physical arts and has mastered the forbidden art of Eight Gates Dunjia.

The greater possibility is that the other party's passionate personality revealed unintentionally is like a fierce flame that burns all the time, dispelling all the darkness around him. The most important thing is that Shirataki didn't see any trace of restraint or fear in Matt Dai.

This made Bai Taki feel a little fond of Matt Dai out of thin air. At that moment, just when the other party finished speaking, Shirataki said, "So, Dai, do you choose to believe me?"

Matt Dai nodded, with a firm light flashing in his eyes. He straightened his expression, looked at Shirataki seriously, and said in an extremely serious tone, "Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village. And let the new leaves sprout. In my opinion, Shirataki, you are a respectable Konoha ninja who truly possesses the will of fire."

After hearing this, Bai Taki couldn't help but look at Matt Dai carefully for a while, and saw that the other person had firm eyes, a sincere face, a focused expression, and a sonorous and powerful tone. This...

Realizing that the other party did not seem to be joking, but said these words sincerely, Shirataki didn't know what to think in his heart, but he squeezed out a forced smile on his face and responded hesitantly, "You are exaggerating, Dai. "

Judging from the situation, Matt Dai obviously regarded him as a companion who was brainwashed by the Will of Fire. At this moment, Shirataki felt a little embarrassed, so he prepared to change the topic and talk to Matt Dai about something else. "Dai, let's talk about it. Let’s talk as we go.”

First he raised his hand towards the front, and seeing Matt Dai nodding, Shirataki moved forward first. Shirataki and Matt Dai were walking in the middle of the road, talking and laughing along the way, which surprised the passers-by who happened to know Shirataki or Met Dai, and obviously didn't understand how these two people got together.

Among them, there are quite a few people who are secretly pointing fingers at Matt Dai. Judging from his expression, it seems that they are not saying anything good. But whether it's Shirataki or Matt Dai, they are obviously not the kind of people who care about other people's opinions. They just talk to themselves about various things.

Sometimes they talked about anecdotes about the ninja world, mission arrangements, and sometimes they talked about their ideals. Mainly, Matt Dai was talking and Shirataki was listening. The conversation mainly focused on keywords such as youth and struggle. However, after more than ten minutes, Shirataki gradually gained a grasp of Matt Dai's situation and learned a lot of information about the other party.

Matt Dai also gained a deeper understanding of Uzumaki Shirataki, whom he had heard for a long time. Since both parties were interested in making friends, the conversation soon became heated, and the relationship gradually heated up unknowingly. But the happy time is always short-lived. A few more minutes passed, and the mansion where the reconstruction work was almost completed came into view.

"Let's stop here for today." Shirataki stopped and said to Might Dai with a smile, and at the same time extended his hand to shake hands with him again, "Nice to meet you, Dai. If I have time another day, I will definitely visit you."

Realizing that Shirataki might still have something to do, Might Dai did not pester him, and immediately responded with a smile, "Then I will be waiting for you, Shirataki."

It was their first meeting, and although they were not very familiar with each other at the moment, this nearly half-hour verbal exchange was obviously a good start. This was true for both Might Dai and Shirataki.

Watching Might Dai's back go away, Shirataki turned around and aimed his eyes at a shadow not far away from him, which was covered by the eaves, and asked casually, "Elder, why are you interested in looking for me today?"

In the narrow alley, in the shadow of the beams. But I saw a figure with his hands folded on his chest and his back leaning against the wall standing there quietly. Judging from his movements, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time. As Shirataki finished speaking, the other party opened his eyes and cast a gloomy look at Shirataki. Who else could it be but Shimura Danzo?

"It's really rare," a hoarse voice came, Danzo slowly stepped in front of Shirataki, glanced at the direction where Might Guy left, and asked jokingly, "You are actually interested in a Genin, don't the ninjas in the village want to associate with you?"

Shirataki glanced at Danzo and saw that the other party was wearing a loose kimono. When asking this question, his eyes were still fixed on him, obviously not taking Might Guy seriously at all.

So, Shirataki replied indifferently, "It's the same for you, Elder Danzo. You're not very popular in the village, are you?"

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly, and then asked in a tone without any emotion, "I believe you know that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not what you imagined. You don't have to..."

Seeing that Danzo was about to start nagging again, Shirataki was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just walked towards the mansion on his own, leaving a sentence at the same time, "I don't want to get involved in the fight between your senior executives."

"Hmph! This is not something you can decide. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not knowing how to hide." Looking at Shirataki's leaving back, Danzo subconsciously narrowed his eyes and murmured in a low voice.

Shirataki didn't care about Danzo behind him anymore. He walked to the front door of the mansion and silently took out the key to open the door. After a brief glance around and looking at the progress of the reconstruction, Shirataki walked straight to the room that originally belonged to Uzumaki Mito.

This room had been destroyed when the Nine-Tails went berserk, but under Tsunade's instructions, the craftsmen had already rebuilt this room first. There were several empty long-pole candlesticks and two exquisite wooden low tables in the room, and the overall style was almost the same as before.

There were bookshelves on the four walls, and the books that were originally densely packed on the bookshelves had all disappeared at this time. I don't know if they were destroyed at the beginning, or Tsunade hid them, or they were confiscated.

Not long after, Shirataki observed the other rooms, and after a slight sigh, he returned to his home on the commercial street.

The next morning, after sending Kushina to school again, Shirataki asked a few passers-by and found out where the Kato clan was stationed, and decided to visit the Kato clan.

After rescuing Kato Dan, Shirataki hurriedly left the camp because of his term of office. He didn't know about the subsequent situation of Kato Dan, so Shirataki decided to go and see what the situation of Kato Dan, whom he liked more, was like.

Shirataki walked hurriedly on the street, and along the way, there were many people who cast their eyes at him quietly, but few people dared to come up and talk to him. Perhaps because of the fermentation of yesterday's events, both ninjas and civilians in Konoha Village have a deep understanding of Shirataki's personal image.

In short, for Shirataki, the villagers of Konoha are now generally divided into two factions, and their evaluations of him are also mixed. Some people think that Shirataki is a meritorious official and can be regarded as a rare talent in the village.

But some people think that Shirataki has a very extreme personality, a bad temper, and is selfish. He took the power of the Nine-Tails for himself and is the number one unstable factor in the village. He will definitely bring more and greater troubles to Konoha in the future.

However, no matter whether the impression of Shirataki is good or bad, and no matter how enthusiastic the discussion is in private, no one dares to say any opinions or views to Shirataki face to face. Fear is perhaps the only attitude that most people in Konoha Village show when facing Shirataki.

To be more specific, it is probably to keep a distance. Shirataki himself does not care about his reputation in Konoha. For him, as long as the people close to him are safe, he does not care about other things.

As he was walking, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. Shirataki glanced at him and saw Jiraiya looking at him seriously. "Shirataki, Hiruzen teacher already knows what happened yesterday."

"He asked me to tell you that you don't have to pay attention to such trivial matters, just concentrate on doing your own things." After saying that, Jiraiya saw that Shirataki's face did not show any expression. He thought for a while and added, "Shirataki, do you have anything to say to the old man?"
