Hokage Doujin - Spring Water Ding Dong

The sun shines in the valley, making the stream sparkle, as if you can hold a hand of crystals by reaching out for a handful.Not far away, birds are flying up and down, singing euphemistically or crisply, and unknown grass and flower fragrance are exuding around, which is peaceful and leisurely.

A simple wooden house is built in this valley. There are two small plots of land in front of the gate, where some vegetables and fruits are planted. It is a peaceful life like an outsider.Only a few wooden branches were loosely punched around the perimeter as a fence, and a firewood gate was ajar.

A blue and black figure was leaning on the wood gate, presumably one of the owners here, but for some reason he didn't enter in front of his own house.Looking closer, the man was trembling slightly, the small face between the black hair was pale and frightening, the lips were as dull as thirsty, slightly parted as if to shout, and the big eyes were wide open, as if he was thinking about something Feel unbelievable.

"How is it possible... how is it possible..." Quanzhu couldn't believe what he saw, so he shook his head weakly at the same time.

She made up her mind, ran a few steps outside, approached the stream, looked around, finally opened her hands beside her mouth, and shouted: "Water Gate—"

"Namikaze Minato—"

"Namikaze Minato—Minato—"

It was useless to cry like that, she knew.This is the enchantment she set up, she will feel anyone walking around, and she has mobilized all the spiritual particles in this area, but she can't feel anyone's breath at all.

It seemed that they were disturbed by human voices, even the birds stopped chirping, and after a while, they all flew away with a "flutter".

"Can't the world evaporate?!" Quan Zhu wandered along the stream without thinking, "Even if he walks out of the barrier, the amulet will sense and notify me!"

This is a dream?Or is this waking up, and the previous one was a dream?

Could it be that finding Minato again is just a dream, and only irony remains when I wake up?

It's ridiculous, hahaha...

Feeling exhausted, Quan Zhu closed his eyes and sat back down.

If you lose what you cherish, you may be in pain; if you get it again, you may be ecstatic; but if you lose it again, what will happen to you?

If God likes to joke, you are the object of the joke, but what you cherish is the tool of the joke.

"Where did Minato... go? Why, why didn't you tell me... I just came back late, why are you so stingy..."

If, if she had hesitated more when she received the communication from Konoha before, if she had rushed faster, if she hadn't been worried that something would happen to Sasuke because of Itachi's appearance...

Footsteps sounded behind her, and a big hand patted her lightly.

"Okay, don't worry, where can such a big person go?" Zilai really couldn't bear it, so he had to persuade her, "Maybe I remembered, I went back to Konoha by myself."

"..." Quanzhu buried his head between his knees and remained silent.

Seeing this, Ji Lai could only sigh, he didn't expect that the person Quan Zhu asked him to meet was Minato.

At first, Quanzhu asked him to go and see "A Person", seeing how solemn she was, he agreed.After he found the place with Quanzhu's knife, he walked into the barrier smoothly, and saw the scenery in the valley. He fell in love with it, and said that he would stay here for two days when he had the opportunity.

But after that, Zilai also went around the valley, but he couldn't find the person Quanzhu said - there was no one here at all!

She resented whether Quan Zhu was playing tricks on him, but after thinking about it, Quan Zhu had never made such an outrageous joke before.So Jiraiya had to call it a day, and rushed back to Konoha, found Izumitake who was training Sasuke, and explained the matter.

Unexpectedly, when Quanzhu heard this, his face changed drastically, and he immediately dragged Zilai to run to that valley, and if it wasn't for Zilai, he would also remind Quanzhu that Quanzhu forgot to ask Hokage for leave.When Tsunade learned that the two of them were going on a long trip, his face darkened, and he thought it would be bad, but Quanzhu directly reached out and said that he would give her all the backlog of S-level tasks and promise to complete them within half a month.So Tsunade nodded with a smile on his face.

Just like that, the two of them returned to the valley that seemed absurd and evil to Jiraiya.

Driving all night was really exhausting, but when Quanzhu arrived, he kept walking, searching inside and out, and when he finally came out, his face was as white as a piece of paper.

Afterwards it was like this now...

"Heh, heh... I didn't expect that the person you asked me to see was the Fourth Hokage!" To be honest, Jiraiya was really surprised, "Why, the Fourth Hokage is still alive?"

"..." Quanzhu buried his head and was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and told the whole process of meeting the fourth generation.

==

After being seriously injured, Quanzhu passed out.When he woke up again, a simple beam came into view, and then the whole interior of the house came into view.

"Ah..." Quanzhu opened his mouth, but let out a dry and hoarse voice. It turned out that he had been in a coma for a long time and was slightly dehydrated.

"Hey? You're awake!" The voice, which I haven't heard for several years, is far away and very familiar.

A human face poked out from above, with half-length blond hair, clear blue eyes, and a gentle smile... Quan Zhu was momentarily stunned.If the glimpse yesterday could be a dream, then what does it mean that there is a face in front of you that can almost completely coincide with the memory?

"Water..." Quan Zhu opened his mouth and spoke with difficulty.

"Oh, I'll get it for you right now!" The man smiled, turned and ran away.

Quanzhu reluctantly stretched out his hand to grab him, but only touched the man's clothes. Even so, he was unable to grab him, so he had to let the man go away. "Water...water...gate..."

The person who looked very similar to Namikaze Minato ran back again, holding a glass of water, and carefully lifted Izumitake up.It's just that when Fuquanzhu got up, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, maybe he was surprised that Quanzhu's weight was too light, or maybe he didn't expect that he was so strong.

As if worried that Quanzhu's strength had not recovered, the man held the cup and fed Quanzhu water with his own hands.Quanzhu couldn't refuse, so he had to hold the rest of the cup stupidly, and drank the water little by little with his head held high.After a while, he seemed to feel that this was too awkward, so he patted the man's hand with one free hand, signaling him to let him come.

The man probably understood what Izumitake meant, so he smiled apologetically, and let go of his hand, with the same expression as the former Fourth Hokage.

Now Quanzhu really opened his cat's eyes as if he had seen a ghost. While holding the cup and slowly drinking water, he was thinking about how to speak, whether he should confirm whether he is Minato—after all, in his memory, Minato was already dead It's been seven years... and this one, even if it's a fake corpse, shouldn't be exactly the same as seven years ago, it's still so young...

"Big sister, does the wound still hurt?" the blond man opposite said at this moment.

When Quan Zhu heard this, he was stunned for a second, and then "Pfft——"

"You...what did you call me?!" Quan Zhu was dumbfounded as he sprayed all the water on the bed without paying attention, and his voice became much louder if he didn't pay attention.After being in a coma for a long time without speaking, the sudden shock made my throat hurt.

"Ah!" The man escaped from Quan Zhu's "Water Escape" with great difficulty, and seeing Quan Zhu's appearance, he was also startled, with a look of panic on his face, he was in a hurry, "Yes, yes, yes... I'm sorry! "

"No, no, no, you are right!" Quan Zhu quickly waved his hand, put down the cup, lifted off the quilt covering his body, moved his hands and feet, and stood up, "Say it again! What did you call me just now?" ?”

"Uh... I, I..." The man took two steps back, and then remembered that Quanzhu's injury was just right, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support her, regained his composure, and said, "Big sister..."

"!!!" Quanzhu's eyeballs almost popped out, "You...don't you think...you are taller than me?"

Indeed, I didn't feel it just now when I was lying on the bed, but now that I got out of bed, the two stood facing each other, only then did I see that Quanzhu's height only reached the tip of the blonde man's nose.

"Uh, this..." The blond man tilted his head, also in a daze.

"Please don't be offended by the guest, he has some brain problems." An old voice sounded, and a rickety old woman who was nearly [-] years old walked in with a cane, "Minato, let the guest lie down quickly, and go change a mattress."

"Minato?" Quanzhu repeated, and looked at the blond man again.

The man was kind and kind, and he was not angry with Quan Zhu's direct eyes, but listened to the old woman's words and wanted to help Quan Zhu lie down again.

"No, there's no need." Quanzhu waved his hand, indicating that he could just sit down.

"Alright then." The old woman nodded and said, "Minato, go and see if the medicine in the kitchen is ready. Serve it to the guests when it's done."

"Well, good." Minato nodded and went out obediently.

"This... in the end..." Quanzhu watched Minato leave, feeling that his brain was not enough, "Can you explain it to me?"

"Oh, the thing is like this..." The old woman nodded and started talking.

It turned out that the water gate was discovered by a river at the bottom of the mountain more than six years ago. At that time, the old woman's son and other people in the village came down the mountain to sell the remaining crops in the market and wanted to buy some daily necessities.Unexpectedly, he ran into the unconscious water gate by the river.

It is said that the river is still very deep, if the water gate is not just stranded on the rocky beach by the river, I am afraid that it will drown and die.But because of this, maybe Minato's head hit a stone, something went wrong, and when he woke up, he looked at the "uncle" and "auntie" next to him who was not much older than him, and even looked younger than him. Call, call a group of people Mongolian.Later, when asked about his life experience, he said that his name was Namikaze Minato, he was from Konoha Village, and he was only eight years old in his memory.

Seeing that he spoke fluently and thought clearly, not like a fool, some people speculated whether he had amnesia.The kind-hearted villagers wanted to send him back to Konoha, but it was too far away from Konoha. They were just ordinary farmers, and they didn't have enough money, let alone hire a carriage.No choice but to take him in temporarily.

Fortunately, Minato is also happy with the situation, so he just lives there, and usually does some farm work in the village.Although his brain has amnesia, his body has not. As a ninja for several years, Minato has great strength, energy, and a generous and polite personality. Everyone likes him very much, so they accepted him.Gradually, Minato lived here for more than six years.

The only thing that confuses everyone is that in the past six years, Minato has not changed at all, and he is still the same as when he first met. Anyone who sees him will think that he is in his twenties.Everyone didn't think much about it, they just wondered if it was because Minato came from Konoha Village - in the eyes of ordinary people, ninjas seem to have a way of maintaining their appearance.

Hearing this, Quanzhu couldn't help rolling his eyes in his stomach.Resident?Do you think everyone is like Tsunade?This is also a forbidden technique!

However, after hearing what the old woman said, Quan Zhu was convinced that the blond man was Minato himself.As for why Minato had been away for seven years, but the old woman said it was six years, there may be some inaccuracies, or the old woman remembered wrongly, so it can be ignored.

"Oh, that's right." At this time, the old woman stood up on crutches, staggered to the side of the low cabinet, and began to writhe.

Quanzhu looked suspiciously.Not long after, the old woman took out a bag of things, walked to Quanzhu and handed it to her.

"This is what the child Minato was carrying when he was found." The old woman sat down and opened the bag, "I kept it, thinking that it might come in handy one day—our village is too small It’s too far away, and there are almost no ninjas passing by.”

"Oh, I'm sorry to trouble you." Quanzhu took the bag and checked the contents.

A forehead guard with the Konoha logo, a set of broken and wrinkled ninja uniforms, and some props that Minato used to bring.

Quanzhu picked out the Kunai among them and smiled.This is the earliest kind of kunai, made in the shape of a trident.Later, because such kunai is too big and heavy to carry, and it is not very easy to make (because it is necessary to ensure the balance of kunai), the craftsman removed the parts on the left and right sides of kunai and made it into an awl shape, that is, Now the kunai style.

But this is more certain, it is Namikaze Minato himself who is good.It is the golden flash and the four generations of Hokage that once shocked the five great powers.

Hokage? !

Quan Zhu was taken aback.No, Minato was wearing a Hokage cloak before his "death", and the words "Fourth Hokage" were written on the back. If you saw the words, these village names must understand the importance of Minato's identity, and they would send people back anyway.

So Quanzhu lowered his head to look again, and finally found one... What is this thing called? !Quanzhu sweated violently.

I saw this dirty, wrinkled cloth strip with holes everywhere. If you look carefully, you can see the word "four"... This, this... I don't think I have a clue about making diapers for children!No wonder then.

"I see, he is indeed from Konoha." Quanzhu put down the things in his hand and nodded.

"In this case, you can take him back." The old woman nodded and said.

Quan Zhu turned his head to look at the old woman for a while, then nodded hesitantly, "I understand, I will pay him all the money he has spent here for seven years. I am really sorry."

"Oh, that's not what I meant." The old woman waved her hand, let go of her cane and patted Quanzhu's hand, "Shuimen is a good boy, and no one in the village is dissatisfied with him, he really wants to leave , I am quite reluctant."

Quanzhu listened quietly, without pulling his hand away.

The old woman continued: "I just don't think this kid looks like a mortal. Letting him stop in our small place really bury him! If he can go back to the ninja village, he will definitely become a great ninja. "

"...Oh, I understand." Quanzhu nodded, raised his other hand to hold the old woman affectionately, and said sincerely: "On behalf of Minato, I thank you for taking him in. Thank you so much !"

After chatting with the old lady about the family affairs for a while, it happened that Shuimen came in with a medicine bowl.

"Guest, your medicine is ready." Minato smiled warmly.

"Shuimen." Quanzhu smiled at him.

"Shuimen, come." The old woman let go of Quanzhu's hand, stood up and beckoned to Minzumen, "Speak to Xiaozhu." Quanzhu has already reported his name and identity, and based on his appearance, he is a junior , So let the old man call himself Xiaozhu. "She is also from Konoha, and I'm afraid she is an old acquaintance with you."

"Oh, good." Minato put the medicine aside to cool down, and walked forward, "That..."

"My name is Xiaoyemu Quanzhu, call me Xiaozhu or Bamboo." Quanzhu took the initiative.

"Yeah, Xiaozhu." Minato just imitated the old woman's call, and just opened a smile, and wanted to announce his family name, but his shoulders tightened...

"Minato..." Like a sigh of satisfaction, Quanzhu used the greatest strength he could exert after being injured now, tightly hugging the old friend who had been separated for a long time, and naturally buried his face in Minato's body along his height. On the shoulder, "Finally... Finally seeing you again... Great..."

"Uh..." Minato was a little stunned, raised his hand and froze for a moment, and had no choice but to hug Quanzhu's back...so slender...

The room fell silent, Quanzhu quietly embraced his former friend who was suspected to be dead, and Minato was hugged quietly even though it was inexplicable.The old lady had left at some point.

Later, Quanzhu's injuries healed, and he left the village with Minato, and almost all the villagers came to see him off. They were really reluctant to leave Minato... Suimun is still so popular.

Later, considering the safety of Minato, Izumitake took Minato to a secluded valley, and the two worked together to build a simple but strong house, and lived here together until the Konoha Chunin exam five years later. held.

==

"Hmm." After listening to Izumitake's introduction, Jiraiya rubbed his chin, lost in thought, "So, you just hid the Fourth Hokage?"

"Am I wrong..." Quanzhu thought, if Minato had been brought back to the village earlier, perhaps today's disappearance would not have happened.

"In theory, it's outrageously wrong." Jiraiya walked up to Izumitake and sat down, "Don't tell anyone except me, not even Tsunade."

"But now I've lost him!" Izumi Zhu raised his head and looked at Jiraiya, frowning deeply, "If he, a person with amnesia, walks around with the face of Fourth Hokage on his face, something will happen!"

"Forget it. Don't worry, don't worry." Jiraiya patted her again, "After returning to the village, I will apply to Tsunade to bring Naruto out for a tour, and help you find Minato along the way. You often go out on missions , and pay attention everywhere.”

"Wouldn't it be more efficient if we reported it to the village and let everyone look for it together..."

"Forget it!" Jiraiya immediately told her to stop, "Making the noise bigger will only make the trouble worse! Sigh... Now that the two organizations, Otonin Village and Akatsuki, are becoming active again, it's really... troublesome! "

"..." Quan Zhu buried his head again.

"...Don't be like an ostrich." Jiraiya saw her amused, got up and patted her on the back, "Let's go, I've been away from Konoha for two days, if you don't go back, Tsunade is going to kill someone."

"Okay..." Quanzhu stood up, his expression still in a daze.

"Let's go." Zilai also urged, and the two walked out of the valley together.

As soon as he stepped out of the enchantment, he suddenly heard the cry of an eagle.Quanzhu raised his arm reflexively, and a goshawk just bent down and landed firmly on the wooden leaf forehead tied to Quanzhu's arm.

"News from Konoha?" Jilai also spoke.

Quanzhu nodded, she was very familiar with this goshawk, it kept the connection between herself and Konoha for many years.

Take down the letter familiarly, spread the letter and read it.Immediately, Quan Zhu frowned, his expression became serious.

"What's wrong?" Ji Lai also came over.

The letter read like a line: "Sasuke Uchiha defected. 』

"what?!"
