[Hokage] My Bamboo Horse is always doing things

Naye was a little disappointed that there were no huge cacti, no camels and magic lamps.

The wandering in the Kingdom of the Wind didn't last long. In the towns close to the desert, half of the people would not be there after dark.

"Going back?" Itachi asked Nanoha who was walking in front.

"Itachi." The person in front suddenly turned around, she seemed to be in a good mood, her eyes as bright as stars were full of smiles that couldn't be concealed.

"I think I've finally found someone who wants to protect just like you," she said.

Her hair was blown by the wind, and she stood in front of her. The moonlight without clouds cast her shadow on the concrete road on the ground, and the sky full of stars became her background board.

"Congratulations," he replied.

Itachi didn't know, maybe at that moment, a small seed had already taken root in his heart.

After returning to Konoha, Naye couldn't wait to go home and take a bath and lay on the bed with her pillow in her arms. The bedding smelled like orchid grass that she liked.

Rolled happily on the bed, and sure enough, only in my own home can I sleep with peace of mind.

Kasuga's team had handed in the task the day before, and it saved her another trip. Kasugase reported the process to Hokage-sama, and the third generation didn't expect such a thing to happen, but fortunately, they all returned safely.

But Kasugase didn't tell the third generation about Naye, he let Naye think about it for herself, even if she wanted to say it, she should say it by herself.

Nanoha nodded, saying yes.

I haven't been home for more than a week, and I miss her bed every night. I finally fell asleep today, and I didn't expect to have insomnia.

Getting up and opening the window, the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus came in with the breeze. She leaned on the window sill and quietly looked at the round fans carved on the wall by the roadside. She didn’t know what was used to dye them, and the color could still be seen after being weathered. .

"A person who is good at controlling flames..." She used her hand to trace the shape of a round fan in the air, one circle at a time.

Then she saw a person blocking the base map she was drawing.

"Yo! Naye-chan." Zhishui smiled and waved at him.

He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a tube collar, his curly hair was a little messy, and he was carrying a shoulder bag behind his back, as if he had just finished a mission.

"Why are you here?" Naye stood up and asked strangely.

"I heard from your teammates, I just came to see you after work, how is it, are you moved?" The visitor leaned on the round fan she had painted, with a look of sarcasm on his face.

Naye was too lazy to chat with him, picked up the gift bag that was randomly placed on the table and threw it at the guy below.

"Here, a souvenir, brought back from the Kingdom of Wind."

"Eh? Nanoha will bring me a souvenir, it can't be a bomb." He said and opened the paper bag.

Nanoha glanced at the clock.

3--

2--

1--

She jumped directly from the window and came to Zhishui.

"Happy birthday!"

Looking at the pendant in the palm of his hand, Zhishui's mouth was curved, he picked up the little crow and said to Naye: "See if it looks like you."

Then he was chased by Naye for a few streets.

"I used Mudun, in front of my teammates." Naye said while lying on the grass, looking at the stars.

Uchiha's training ground, usually they seldom come here, Naye and Itachi came a few times a long time ago.

"It seems that your teammates didn't even say anything to Hokage-sama." Shisui sat on the side, looking down at her.

"Well, Mr. Haruhi said to let me decide by myself." Naiye looked back and wondered, "How did you guess that?"

Shisui froze for a moment, turned his head and stared ahead.

Because they regard you as the most important person, believe in you, and are willing to hide little secrets for you, just so that one day you can proudly tell everyone about the power you have.

"Because they're great teachers and teammates."

Zhishui didn't answer her directly.

"Maybe I won't have time to practice with you in the future, well, I can come to you occasionally when I'm resting."

"It's okay, I can go with Itachi." Naiye felt that Itachi must be in a bad mood because of his companion, and it happened that he could accompany him. When he has a new teammate, it should be much better.

She didn't know that what Itachi and she thought was not the same thing.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you."

She got up and looked at Zhishui with a smile and said, "I also have someone I want to protect."

"Oh? That's good, who is it?" Zhishui picked up a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, and put his hands behind his head as a pillow.

"Shishui!" Naye followed his example and leaned against him.

"Pfft ha ha ha..." Zhi Shui laughed so hard that the grass fell off.

"Wait until you can beat Itachi before you think about saying something like that."

"Hmph! Although I'm not as good as you, I can still protect you!" She grabbed him angrily.

"Of course it's not just you, but also my teacher, teammates, and Itachi."

"Oh? When did Naye and Itachi have such a good relationship?" Zhishui turned his head and looked at her gossipingly.

So Naye pinched her thigh again.

"What! What are you thinking about?"

Naye stared at the curly-haired black belly and explained: "Because Itachi saved me last time, it should be!"

"Oh? A hero save the beauty."

"We're still young!"

"Yes Yes..."

"It's enough to say it once!"

"Yes Yes..."

- the next day

The next day, Naiye and Sandai Hokage proposed to move to a single apartment. Sandaime said that there was no problem, and handed Naiye a form, asked her to fill it out, and asked the Uchiha patriarch to stamp it, and then handed it to him. Make arrangements for her.

So Naye, who was wandering around the door of the patriarch's house with the form given by Hokage, was bumped into by Itachi who was returning from a walk with Sasuke.

"Nanoye?"

Itachi didn't expect to meet Naye at the door of the house, and thought he was looking for him, so he asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"I'm looking for the patriarch, is he at home?" Naiye was relieved when she saw Itachi, she was really a little scared of Fuyue.

"Father should be back in a while, you can wait in the room first." Itachi opened the door and let Naye come in.

"excuse me."

"I'm back. ×2"

Mikoto came out of the kitchen, apparently preparing dinner.

"Nanoha is here."

"Hello, Aunt Mikoto." Naye greeted politely.

Meiqin saw her eldest son obediently preparing tea for the guests, showing a satisfied smile.

Sasuke had been staring at Naye with a hostile look, his cheeks flushed with anger, and he was holding on to Itachi's trouser legs for fear that she would snatch his brother away.

"Sasuke-kun's expression is so cute!"

Nanoha pinched Sasuke's small face. Sasuke didn't expect this stinky woman to do something like this, and was so scared that he threw out the wooden Kunai that his brother bought for him.

Nanoha tilted her head to avoid it, then hugged Sasuke crazily, with a =w=-like expression, chanting kawaii ~ pink bubbles all over her back.

Itachi pulled Sasuke over and silently saved his lovely Ododo, thinking that Naye was indeed naturally black.Then calmly asked Naye what he wanted from his father, so as to divert Naye's attention from Sasuke.

Nanoha took out the application form and handed it to Itachi, explaining his purpose.

"Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, eat here." Mikoto's voice suddenly came from the kitchen, interrupting what Itachi was about to say.

"No, don't bother me..."

She doesn't want to have dinner with a certain patriarch, she will suffer from indigestion!

"It's okay, Itachi is bringing a girl back for the first time."

Miqin came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, and her smile gradually deepened when she looked at Naiye. Naiye suddenly felt that if she directly rejected this woman, it would make her sad.

"Yes, is that so..." Naye sneered, then turned her head to send a distress signal to Itachi.

Itachi shook his head, expressing that he was helpless.

He secretly avenged Sasuke, his face still showed no ups and downs, but his eyes were full of gentle smiles.

"So stay for dinner?"

Mikoto asked again, but Nanoha finally gave up her resistance.

"Ah good, good."

After getting Naye's answer, Mikoto picked up Sasuke and said to help her mother choose vegetables, and went back to the kitchen to continue working, not forgetting to leave a look (you know) to her eldest son, leaving the dull Naoye and Itachi watching the show.

In order to break this inexplicable embarrassment, Itachi took the initiative to ask: "Is Naiye going to take the Chunin exam this time?"

"The Chunin Exam?" She hadn't heard of it.

"However, with your strength, there is no problem. If you are ready to participate, you can sign up." Itachi took out a form.

"Captain Kasuga asked me to give this to you yesterday."

After Naye took it and put it away, Fuyue came back just as soon as he said thank you.

During the meal, Nanoha silently ate the rice in the bowl, Mikoto said enthusiastically that Itachi would often invite Nanoha to play, and Itachi nodded yes.

From time to time, Fu Yue asked about Itachi's recent progress in cultivation, and then praised him a few words, saying that he really deserves to be my son. Sasuke looked at his father with bright eyes, and looked at his brother with envy.

Naye is also very envious of the happy appearance of this family.

After the meal, Naiye said that he had something to ask Fuyue for instructions, so he came to the study.She handed the form to Fuyue, and after explaining her intentions, Fuyue silently looked at the neatly filled application form, took out her seal and stamped it.

Naye didn't expect that the patriarch didn't ask anything, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Itachi is excellent." After Fuyue finished speaking, he left the study.

Naye got up in a daze, and saw Itachi standing not far from the door as soon as she went out.

Itachi said he would send her back and had already greeted Mikoto, so he led Nanoha around the front hall, avoiding Sasuke.The patriarch's house is much larger than the average family's house. The Japanese-style house has a long corridor around the house. When passing by, you can see the garden landscape in the yard and the artificial mountains and real water.

Itachi seemed unusually silent along the way, and Naye also knew that he had something to say to herself.It wasn't until he reached Naye's house that he finally spoke.

"What do you think of Uchiha in Naha's words?"

Itachi suddenly asked such a question, which surprised her a little.

"I probably know that everyone is very repulsive to outsiders, including me. And recently, I occasionally see groups of people walking together at night. Maybe I shouldn't participate in this kind of thing, but..."

She suddenly became serious, looking at Itachi's calm black eyes.

"You and Shisui are my best friends, and I also hope to help you. It doesn't matter about the family or any mess, I just hope that you, Itachi, can smile as much as you did before."

After Naye finished speaking, the air became silent again.

"Well, I will." Itachi told her when he opened the door for her, and left without waiting for her to look back.

"It's going to change."

Itachi looked up at the round full moon and said.
