Hokage Doujin - Spring Water Ding Dong

'click, click'

Generally speaking, Shuo Mao would choose to use the key in his hand to open the door directly when Quanzhu was not around.

Because compared to doing that, Shuo Mao prefers that every time he knocks on the door, he can hear Quanzhu from inside the door, which makes him feel extremely warm, saying briskly and upwardly: "Here we come!"

And the picture that came out from the door was ordinary, but it made him feel a sense of comfort in his heart like a spring flowing through his fingertips...

Slightly raised the corners of his mouth, with anticipation, tenderness, touch, and love, Shuo Mao knocked on the door of Quanzhu Apartment, and heard some staggering walking sounds from inside, and the seemingly A cheerful, light voice that never changes.

Some sighed helplessly, mocking the little sense of dependence that he had never had and that was not suitable for him.

Perhaps, he couldn't do without this woman who made him regain the joy of life in almost despair...

"Ah da!" The door opened, as playful as starlight, with the softness of the moon and the warm smile of the sun reflected in Shuo Mao's eyes, "You are here!"

Had a good laugh.Like Shuo Mao, every time Quan Zhu sees Shuo Mao, it is accompanied by the sweetness flowing from the bottom of his heart that flows from which spring he never knows.

Quanzhu knew clearly that the eyes she looked at Shuo Mao were always full of admiration, because her heart was filled with love for Shuo Mao... Could it be that she really became a girl? !Why are you so innocent!

"Come in!" Quanzhu restrained the thought of jumping out of Shuo Mao's arms after seeing Shuo Mao, said, then turned around and rushed to the kitchen in a hurry, " Dinner will be ready in a while! There is just poured boiled water in the water bottle. I have already poured out two cups and served it cold. It should be ready to drink now! Also, Kakashi, I have bought everything you asked for! Myself Go count the numbers!"

Heh, Quanzhu is becoming more and more like a housewife... although she is not even a "wife".

But Sakumo and Kakashi did not pay attention to what Izumitake said, but stood there in a daze.

"Xiaozhu...your clothes..." Kakashi was the first to point out the reason why the two were stunned.

"Huh?!" Because of Kakashi's words, Izumitake turned his head, looked at his clothes, and then smiled, "Oh, this one, does it look good? When I went to buy you a kimono, Minato gave it to me. of!"

"That's right." Although half of his face was blocked by a thick black mask, from Shuo Mao's gentle eyes now, he could guess a little bit about his expression. The gentle and magnetic voice drowned in it, "It suits you very well... very beautiful."

"...Huh?" Her face flushed, her eyes suddenly became bright, and Quanzhu always felt that she liked kimonos more than before.

"Omon kimono?" Taking two steps forward, Sakumo raised an arm and easily wrapped Izumitake's slender waist.

Lowering his head slightly, Shuo Mao pressed a soft kiss on Quanzhu's eyebrows through the somewhat rough mask, then turned to look at Minato who was sitting on the side, smiled and said, "Thank you!"

The tone seemed to be that Quanzhu was already a family with him—he also wanted to thank others for the care Quanzhu received.

"Well, it doesn't matter!" He replied with a smile, and it seemed that only the spring breeze blowing the green grass remained on Minato's face.

'Gudu Gudu' a strange voice suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere.

"...Ah-my curry!!!" Xiaozhu suddenly reacted, opened Shuo Mao's arm, and took small steps that he hadn't fully gotten used to, and rushed towards the kitchen in a stumbling manner.

"Xiaozhu seems to like kimonos very much?" Kakashi suddenly raised his head, looked at Izumitake and said while eating hard.

"Huh?" Izumi Zhu, who was named, looked up, and then replied without hesitation, "I like it! I like kimonos since a long time ago! At that time, I could only hang around in the 65th area of ​​the soul world. , drag out an ignoble existence, and try my best to grab food to fill my stomach by the way..."

Perhaps once people fall into memories, they will no longer be able to notice the reactions of others. At least, Izumitake did not see the reactions of Minato and Kakashi after hearing her words... If she saw the puzzled expressions of these two people, she must Will brake immediately... But, this is unlikely.

"I remember very clearly, that was the first time I saw a kimono, it was worn by a beautiful noble lady who lost her way to Area 65." Quanzhu began to recall, "That kimono is really beautiful! It's a Furisode kimono... …The orange-red underlay, the golden belt, the left shoulder and below the waist are embroidered with golden-pink cherry blossoms, the skirt is a little black, and embroidered with smoky golden lines on it...It’s really beautiful!”

"That's when I fell in love with kimonos! For a moment, I no longer hated those nobles who bullied others so much, but rather envied them!"

"Including when the noble lady was attacked by the so-called 'hooligans' of the group of nobles in Area 65, I rescued that weak noble lady for the first time... probably, it was all because Love the kimono!"

"Because I saved that lady, I was brought back by that lady's family in a very cliché way."

"Those people are very hypocritical and say they want to thank me, but even a child who has just turned one month can see that they despise me and want to send me away... But at that time, I met a god of death, He told me that I have spiritual power, so that noble family sent me to Zhenyang Academy of Spiritual Art..."

"But it's a pity. In the days that followed, I could only wear Mao's school uniform. After graduating, I joined the Goutei 600th squad, and I just changed into a death-fighting outfit... From then on, [-] For years, there was never a chance to wear a kimono that was like a dream from the start."

"Later, at a celebration meeting for a successful seat challenge, a teammate who is also from the 65th area of ​​​​the soul world told me that our guys in the 65th area will never be able to wear a kimono, and we are not worthy. Because Our hands are too bloody, our bodies are too dirty, our souls are too ugly... At one point, I believed it... That was really a tangled past..."

"Until I went to this world to perform a mission, in order to save a cute human girl who was born with powerful spiritual power, I ended my 'bloody', 'dirty', 'ugly' existence... I was reborn here ..."

"I sighed that after I opened my eyes, what I saw was not the devastation that I saw when I opened my eyes in the world of corpses and souls, instead of the dazzling blood... I didn't expect... There is such a place in this world ...The last thing I expected was that I was lucky enough to wear the 'kimono of my dreams' once in my life..."

Smiling lightly, Quanzhu finally returned to the real world, took a closer look, and saw the three people in various colors at a glance, but they all had expressions of surprise, confusion, and disbelief as the main axis.

Suddenly, Quanzhu had the idea of ​​raising his hand and slapping himself hard, knocking himself out...but it was too late...

"Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu..." Minato was surprised, but at the same time looked at Quanzhu suspiciously, and said, "Xiaozhu, you..."

"Are you a normal person?!" Compared to Minato's tact, Kakashi said bluntly, "You already have a second life?! What life did you just say?!"

"..." Only Shuo Mao, who knew a little about Quanzhu, was silent, but his eyes were serious and he stared at Quanzhu, as if he wanted to use those sharp eyes to capture Quanzhu's eyes through Quanzhu's pupils. The past in the mind.

"Hehe...hehe..." Quanzhu was not smiling anymore, then poked his own brain, and said hesitantly, "Can I ask you to ignore what I just said?!"

"..." Shuo Mao's posture and expression did not change, but the look in his eyes became more determined, and his brows frowned slightly.

"..." Minato fell silent, lowered his head, and did not look at Quanzhu, as if he was waiting for Quanzhu to explain the matter clearly with a kind of silent oppression.

"What do you think?" Only Kakashi responded, raised his gray eyebrows, which were the same color as his hair, and asked back.

"Well, in this case." Quan Zhu poked his cheek, and said again, "Then you can treat what I just said as a story, can you?"

"..." There was still no answer. This time, Shuo Mao changed his posture, crossed his arms, and leaned casually on the back of the chair behind him. Eyebrows, seeing Quanzhu burst into cold sweat.

"..." Minato also changed his posture, put his arms on the table, folded his hands together to support his chin, and looked at Quanzhu seriously... Announcing Quanzhu's death sentence by chance...

"...cough..." Kakashi looked at the reactions of the two elders, coughed lightly, looked away, and looked at Izumitake again, "What do you guess?!"

"Crack", Quan Zhu patted his face with his hand.

Bow your head and compromise... Quanzhu began to tell his "history of heartache, blood and tears".

The "History of Blood and Tears" of more than 600 years was squeezed here and there, and it was compressed into essence, and told to Sakumo, Minato, and Kakashi.

But when Quanzhu's "History of Blood and Tears" comes to an end, the scenery outside has already changed from the initial "sunset" to the current "bright moon".

600 years... It's not easy to compress it like this...

With the end of the "History of Blood and Tears", the curry rice on the dinner plate has also become "Curry Jelly".

"Hey..." Quanzhu sighed with regret.

After taking a sip of water to moisten his thirsty throat and lips, Quanzhu got up and picked up the dinner plates of several people, and took them to the kitchen to reheat them.The three of them were left sitting in place, meditating, or in a daze.

Separate the curry and rice, pour the curry into the pot, cook it, then cover the rice with plastic wrap, prepare to put it in the microwave for a while, and mark each portion to avoid confusion... ...In other words, since the four of them ate together, Quanzhu has become more and more proficient at housework.

With arms crossed in front of his chest, Quanzhu chose a more comfortable standing position, stood still, and waited for the curry to be heated again.

Just as Quanzhu stood for a while, a pair of powerful arms stretched out from behind. While encircling Quanzhu's waist, they also encircled Quanzhu's thoughts that began to drift away.

As if startled, Izumitake reflexively stretched out his hand to the waist that usually wears the Zanpakutō, but found helplessly that he was wearing a kimono instead of a Shiba outfit, so he didn't bring the Zanpakutō with him ...Sure enough, the vigilance has dropped? !If you have time, take a few missions, or find someone to practice with...

But it was also at this moment that Quanzhu understood: the person who came was Shuo Mao.

I don't know if it's tired or what, but Quan Zhu relaxes, and leans against Shuo Mao's arms.

I just felt that the arms around my waist were tightened a bit, but there was still a delicate space left for Quan Zhu.

More than 600 years ago, I could only watch others pass by me in bright clothes; more than 600 years later, I can happily wear the "glamorous" clothes I dream of.

More than 600 years ago, I could only wrap my arms around my shoulders, huddle in a dark corner, lean against the cold and dilapidated corner, and enjoy a moment of peace; but more than 600 years later, I can lean on my lover's warm arms, relax my body and mind, and let my soul relax. It's rare to be able to settle down.

Perhaps this is what people call '30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi'... Is it because of the current port call that I have been tossing and turning and erratic for many years?

Who knows... happiness is too precious to have time to think about its true meaning.

Only enjoy the moment, only enjoy the moment.

No.30 Six, Human Scum and Insects

"Hmm... nothing to do..." Putting his hands into his cuffs, Quan Zhu stood on the street, staring at the sky in a daze.

Sakumo took Kakashi to practice, and Minato left early in the morning, leaving Izumitake alone, with nothing to do.

"No one to play with me, no one to go shopping with me... not even a single person to quarrel with me..." Pulling out his hand and scratching the top of his head, Izumitake looked bored, "Kakashi ran away with Sakumo, Minato also ran away... Well, let's go find Miharu-san..."

After making a decision, Izumitake turned around, shook his head and walked towards the Uchiha clan.

"Xiaozhu?" As soon as Quanzhu entered the territory of the Uchiha clan, he heard someone calling him in front of him.

Quanzhu stopped walking and lowered his head to observe the behavior of ants crawling by the roadside from time to time, and looked up to the front.

"Hey, good morning! Obito." Pulling out his hand that was in the wide sleeve of the Siba suit, Quan Zhu waved it listlessly in the direction of Obito a few times.

"Well, early." Obito ran forward, looking at Quanzhu with a sunny face, "Why did Xiaozhu appear here?"

"Hmm... I don't have anything to do, come here to play with sister Meiqing..." Quanzhu replied lazily with his cat's eyes half open.

"Huh? Xiaozhu knows Auntie Miharu?" Obito blinked twice and asked.

"Yeah." Still unable to cheer up, Izumitake's eyes reminded Obito of Kakashi, "I used to be neighbors with Miss Miharu."

"Oh..." Obito took a weird look at Izumi Take, who had a completely different bored face, and then said, "What is Xiaozhu doing with Auntie Miharu? And Auntie Miharu is not at home right now! I just saw Aunt Meiqing leaving with Itachi, saying she was going to practice."

"Huh?" With a disappointed sigh, Quanzhu's eyes drooped again, "What a coincidence...then I'd better go back to sleep...uh...it's almost moldy...I really want to find someone to fight Ah..." Saying that, Quanzhu was about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, Obito spoke.

"Eh? Xiaozhu really has nothing to do?" Obito scratched the back of his head, his face flushed a little.

"Yeah." Nodding, Quan Zhu stuck a note of 'so boring' on his face.

"That...that..." Obito scratched his cheek with his index finger, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, "Well, since Xiaozhu is fine...can you help me practice...ah, Xiaozhu is really powerful, It took only about a month between graduating from ninja school and becoming a ninja...so...so..."

"Ask me to practice?!" Quanzhu scratched his head, a little puzzled.

"Hey...um." With a little embarrassment and a little hope, Obito slightly raised his head to look at Izumi Zhu, who should be smaller than him, but much taller than him, and nodded.

"Yes, yes, but I have never helped others practice, so I don't know if helping you practice will help you..." With a twist of his mouth, Quan Zhu looked at the sky, then lowered his head and answered.

"Ah! That's great!" Obito looked very happy, "It's okay, Xiaozhu just agrees to help me practice! As for the specific method of practice, Minato-sensei has already formulated it for me!"

"Okay, let's go." Shrugging, Quan Zhu regained his spirit, "Where are we going?"

"Xiaozhu come with me!"

"That is to say, Minato helped you practice in the past?!" While walking and chatting, Quanzhu followed Obito to the place where he often practiced, half asking, half declaring.

"Yeah!" I don't know if it was because I was in good spirits early in the morning, or because Izumi Zhu agreed to help me practice, Obito looked very happy, "But Master Minato is very busy and often has something to do, so he can't help me practice often."

"Then, what's the effect?" On the one hand, he was infected by Obito's elation, and on the other hand, he found something to do. Although his hands were still in his sleeves, Izumitake had regained his spirit.

"Very good!" Obito nodded excitedly, and suddenly found that although he will become a mother and son in the future, Izumitake is much easier to get along with than Kakashi. The speed has also increased a lot, and the ability to control Chakra is also stronger!"

"Hi?! That's great!" Quanzhu chuckled, "It seems that Minato is a good teacher... It also shows that you still have a lot of prospects for development! Come on!"

"Yeah!" Obito is now sure that Izumitake is much easier to get along with than Kakashi! "Ah, here we are! This is it!"

"Huh?" Turning his head to look in front of him, Quan Zhu scanned the forest up and down, left and right, and affirmed, "It's a forest... This place is quite suitable for cultivation."

"Hehe, it's okay!" Obito scratched the back of his head, a little shy.

"In this case, let's start!" Quanzhu took out two hands, changed positions, and hugged his arms in front of his chest, "Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

"56, 57, 58, 59..." Almost as soon as Quan Zhu finished speaking, he heard someone counting rhythmically.

"... These days, you don't have to work so hard to count in the woods early in the morning to learn mathematics, right!?" Quan Zhu said abruptly, freezing Obito.

"This cold joke is not funny at all..." Obito faced Izumi Bamboo, sweating, "Someone is practicing... Hearing the sound, it should be kicking a wooden stake."

"Oh?! It looks like this..." Izumi Zhu shrugged without paying attention to Obito's contemptuous eyes, "Is this someone you invited to practice together?"

"No! And there's never been anyone here..." Obito frowned, "It's because there is usually no one here that I choose this place to practice..."

"That's right..." When he opened his mouth, Quan Zhu was about to say something, but was interrupted rudely.

"Who is sneaking around there?!" It wasn't Izumitake or Obito, the voice came from another person.

"Huh?!" Quanzhu was taken aback, "Why is this voice so familiar?!"

"Who the hell?!" The owner of the voice came out...

Quanzhu was struck by lightning...

By the way, why do I meet 'enemies' one after another these days? !First Uchiha Fugaku was paralyzed with two hundred and five faces, and this time there is another half-hearted fanatic...

"That... Obito, you're already a chunin, right..." Quanzhu looked at the person coming from the corner of his eyes, and clenched his hands tightly.

"Huh?! Yeah... what's wrong?!" Obito faintly felt that something was wrong.

"It's nothing." Quanzhu said gloomyly, "If you are a Chunin, you should be able to withstand the pressure of murder... If I can't take care of you for a while, you protect yourself..."

"Hey?!" Obito was taken aback, and then began to feel some pressure faintly.

"Hey, Comrade 'Beast', do you remember me?!" While releasing the Reiatsu little by little, Quan Zhu gritted his teeth.

"You?!" Keenly feeling the pressure, Lie was obviously taken aback, and after seeing Qingquanzhu's appearance, he also began to release murderous aura, "Xiaoyemuquanzhu..." Lie almost squeezed out the spring bamboo from his teeth name.

"Ah la, remember me... Should I be honored?!" Dao is one foot tall and the devil is one foot tall. pressure.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Lie was a little surprised at the strength of the pressure that Quanzhu could release.Without neglect, Lie began to resist with all his strength.

"Cut, it's fine..." Quanzhu felt the strong reaction, twitching the corners of his mouth, and also opened up his full strength.

That's it, the two of them didn't talk, they didn't do anything, they just kept releasing murderous aura or soaring spirit pressure.

"..." Obito, who had been sitting on the ground because he couldn't bear the pressure a long time ago, began to tremble non-stop at this moment, but the two instigators didn't hold back at all.

But the two of them will not be much better, no matter how strong they are, no one can continue to release the murderous aura with all their strength, and at the same time bear the opponent's powerful murderous aura.

Just like now, Quanzhu and Lie have begun to struggle, but they both gritted their teeth and resisted.

"Smelly girl, I'll ask you, and you answer me." With cold sweat all over his face, Lie opened his mouth, his tone weak.

"Who are you?! Why do you listen to me?!" Quanzhu's face was a little pale, but he still held his arms stubbornly, and tightly grasped his sleeves because of the difficulty, "Will you answer your question?" The question depends on the mood of the old lady."

"Listen up!" Without the energy to ignore Quan Zhu's provocation, Lie now just wants to answer the questions in his heart, "Why do you defend him so much?"

"Who?" Quan Zhu narrowed his eyes with a look of vigilance.

"You know it very well." Lie raised his hand and supported the tree beside him, barely supporting it.

"You said Sakumo?!" Raising his eyebrows, Izumi Zhu pulled out the Zanpakudao with difficulty, stuck it on the ground, held it stubbornly, and refused to succumb to his body's instinct to want to sit on the ground, "Of course I want to sit on the ground." Protect him! He's my man!" He said without blushing, just because Quan Zhu didn't have the extra strength to talk nonsense at the moment.

"Your man?!" Lie was slightly taken aback, and then said again, "Don't you know about him?"

"His business?!" Quanzhu repeated, and then he looked arrogant, "Of course I don't know many things about him, because he never told me, so I won't ask. But there are also some things, I There is a way to get news. If you are talking about you becoming a white-eyed wolf, I know it clearly!"

"In this case, why do you still defend him desperately?!" Lie skipped Quan Zhu's rude address to himself, "You are a student of ninja school who just graduated this year! Then you should know very well "Ninjas should put their tasks first in everything", "Ninjas who can't abide by the rules will be treated as scum"!"

"Ah, that's really embarrassing!" Quanzhu replied with a disingenuous shrug, "When I was in theory class at Ninja School, I was always sleeping, or just in a daze!"

"...Are you proud?!"

"I'm pretty good if I didn't skip class, okay?" Facing Lie's unbelievable expression, Quan Zhu rolled his eyes to hide his embarrassment, "But even if I didn't attend class, I still know what you said Very good!"

"then you……"

"I know this, but it doesn't mean I agree with it!" Quanzhu interrupted Lie, regardless of Lie's dissatisfied glaring, "It's important for a ninja to obey the rules, but it doesn't mean that you can just watch your companions get into trouble and remain indifferent !"

"..."

"Ninjas should never be what people call 'weapons'. They are all human beings with their own feelings! Do you dare to say that you are no longer bound by any feelings?! That kind of person is a monk!"

"No matter what you think or say, in my opinion, the feelings of a ninja are also very important. No one can really be strong enough to protect the whole world. Even a ninja, in this world, is nothing more than small or even inferior The creatures of ants are only stronger than ordinary ants... So, what we have to do is to protect the people in front of us, the people around us, the ones we love, and the people who love ourselves... Just like Shuo Mao saved you Same. You are his companion, which is why he would rather give up the mission to save you, because you are his companion who gets along with him day and night."

"But ninjas are meant to obey..."

"Emotions are always contradictory to the rules!" Quan Zhu interrupted Lie again, "As far as I know, Shuo Mao was once a genius and hero that people passed on by word of mouth. Do you know this damn rule?!"

"He flouts the rules!"

"That's not contempt! It's just choosing a more suitable option between 'rigid and worthless rules and regulations' and 'priceless team spirit and companionship'! Although ninjas who violate the rules will be called scum, But in my opinion, a guy who doesn't know how to protect himself and remains indifferent to the dangers of his companions is not even a scum, he is destined to be an ant that will always be trampled under people's feet!"

"..."

"That's why I like Sakumo, because he conforms to my true understanding of the existence of ninjas. And I'll tell you, if you dare to find fault with Sakumo, I will never be polite to you!"

"...what do you want?"

"I'll blow you away!" Quan Zhu replied without changing his face.

"Aren't you afraid of punishment?"

"Not afraid."

"why?"

"I like Shuo Mao... No, I should love him."

"...so you want to protect him?"

"..." There was no answer, but Quanzhu's firm eyes told Lie that he had the answer.

Lie closed his eyes, and sat down on the ground as if he had collapsed. Quanzhu felt the invisible pressure on his body disappear in an instant, so he also withdrew the spiritual pressure, put away Zanpakutao, turned around, hugged and sat curled up Obito on the ground, left.

Leaving Lie complexly looked at Quan Zhu's leaving back, then sighed softly, and closed his eyes.

"Dad?!" A voice appeared next to Lie's ear.

"Ah—" Lie exclaimed, turned his head, and just saw his son Tie Xuekai's face full of inexplicable writing, "Bastard! I told you several times not to run to me when I am not concentrated enough!"

Almost jumping up, Lie punched his son who looked very similar to him, almost a condensed version of his own son.

"Ah——" Kai was thrown far away, "I just want to say that I have kicked the stake 200 times according to my father's request~~~~"
