Hokage Doujin - Spring Water Ding Dong

"What's good for dinner tonight?"

After a simple lunch, he ran to the woods to take a nap, avoiding the midday sun.Minato and Izumitake appeared on Konoha's main street again, and began to talk about dinner.

"Kakashi likes saury...then buy saury?!" Izumizu poked his chin with his index finger, and Izumitake looked at Minato, who was a little taller than him, but not much higher, and asked for advice modestly .

"Huh?" Minato turned his head, saw Izumitake, who was only as tall as his eyes, with a 'modest' face, and smiled, "It seems that Kakashi will be very happy... I'm a little jealous of him, so good mother!"

"I...I still..." Opened his mouth, then closed his mouth, Quanzhu's face flushed (with shame), "No...not yet..." Shaking his head, Quanzhu went to sell fish with a blushing face go to the stall...

"Ha ha……"

The color of dusk concealed the bitterness at the corners of the mouth, and the golden hair covered the melancholy between the brows.Minato shrugged, and finally chose to walk two steps behind Quanzhu.

"what?!"

Flip left, flip right.

"Ah?!"

Dig left, dig again.

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Quan Zhu turned to his back like a follower, holding a large bag of ingredients. From the door of the apartment where Quan Zhu lived, he saw that Quan Zhu kept digging out his pockets, putting on his sleeves, and grabbing his collar as if he was covered in lice... Izumitake, and thus Mizumon with a confused face.

The corners of his mouth twitched, Quan Zhu raised his hand a little cutely, but also a little ridiculously knocked himself on the head, and spoke.

"I seem to... forgot my key..."

"..." Minato's originally gentle smile froze on his face.

"..." Blinking his big cat eyes, Quanzhu looked innocent? !

Hanging his head down, Minato sighed helplessly.

"Hey..." There was a sigh almost at the same time as Minato. Accompanied by this sigh, Izumitake and Minato were surprised to see that the door opened automatically. I recommend that you go straight up to Chunin?!"

In a dragging tone, with a little disbelief, Kakasi opened the door unhurriedly, and said the above words with a stinking face.

"Ah! Kakashi!" With a dry laugh, Izumi directly avoided Kakashi's words and the contemptuous look he threw at him at the same time, "Hehe, the practice is over so soon! It's really timely!"

"Humph." Kakashi breathed out his nose, gave Izumitake a pair of supercilious eyes, turned around and walked into the house, "It's not because of you that I finished my practice so quickly."

"Me? What does it have to do with me?" Quanzhu changed his shoes at the entrance, followed Kakashi in, and closed the door behind him.

"What does 'have anything to do with you'?!" Kakashi walked into the house and sat down next to a pile of beautifully wrapped paper bags and boxes, "Look for yourself! Dad told me to ask you if you like it! "

"Ah?" Quan Zhu expressed his confusion, "But speaking of it, why didn't Shuo Mao come back with you?"

"I don't know." Kakashi rummaged through the pile of things, took out something like a sticky note, stuck it on Kuma, and walked towards Izumitake, "Dad said that we must first Go back to Qimu’s old house and say you want to get something.”

"Really." Izumitake stretched out his hand, easily caught the kunai thrown by Kakashi, took down the sticky note on it, raised his head and asked Kakashi, "What is this?"

"I don't know. Dad asked me to show you." Kakashi raised his eyes lazily, and leaned back casually.

"Oh." Shrugging, Quanzhu pulled the chair beside him and sat down.Pick up the sticky note and put it in front of your eyes for a closer look.

It's just an ordinary red letter paper, the only thing special is that the letter paper is folded into a delicate '?' shape.

There is also a very simple but very cute villain drawn on the surface. The villain wears a mask on his face, his eyes smile into two crescent moons, he has a very arrogant hairstyle, and a long hair is faintly exposed behind him. .The villain was sitting, holding a bamboo tightly in his arms, as if it was his most cherished treasure.

Looking at this simple painting, Quan Zhu chuckled and opened the letter paper.

The content of the letter is very simple, just a few lines:

Suddenly he felt too much money and was afraid of being targeted by thieves, so he decided to spend the money.

I found that there was no chain for the cat, so I simply bought some clothes and wanted to dress up our kitten.

Hope the kitty likes it.

Cat owner: Hatake Sakumo.

Biting his lower lip lightly, the smile on Quanzhu's face gradually deepened with every word he saw.

Quanzhu stood up, restored the letter paper to its original shape, and carefully stuffed it into the clothes on his chest.Then he walked to the pile of cardboard boxes, squatted down, picked up the pile of things, turned around and entered the bedroom.

Only Minato and Kakashi were left watching Izumitake entering the bedroom and closing the door with puzzled faces, then turned their heads back and exchanged doubts in their eyes with each other.

It is said that after Quanzhu entered the bedroom, he was not in a hurry to unpack those boxes and bags, but put down those things first, opened the pillow on the bed, and picked up a beautiful black background with gold pattern that was originally placed under the pillow. He took out the letter paper stuffed in his chest and put it in the cloth bag.

After changing everything back to the original, Quanzhu began to unwrap the gift from Shuo Mao.

Sure enough, as Shuo Maoxin said, all the boxes and bags contained clothes and some items decorated on clothes.

And all the clothes are uniform kimonos: Furisode, Rusode, Visiting, Fushita, Komon... Excluding the twelve orders and wedding clothes, basically everything can be considered.

After all, she is a woman, and she naturally likes beautiful clothes.

Quan Zhu's heart softened completely, not only because of the kimonos that almost filled the whole bed in front of him, but also because of the touch and love that welled up in his heart.

Sitting on the bed, holding an orange sleeve in his hand, covering his face, only revealing a pair of black eyes overflowing with spring water, staring at the wall in a daze.It seems to see nothing, and it seems to see far away.

"Sakumo..."

Ten miles away.A silent figure, but one that cannot be ignored, is walking unhurriedly on the Konoha street at dusk.

That person has been looking at the road ahead very intently, but he didn't really pay attention. Instead, he committed a ninja's big taboo, let his thoughts escape from his eyes, and wandered a few minutes ago.

A few ten minutes ago, Sakumo put Kakashi and the clothes to be given to Izumitake in the apartment where Izumitake lived.

Suddenly, I remembered the many jewelry in a certain room in Hatake House.

By the way, those are expensive jewelry!After all, it is the dowry of the famous Hatake family in Konoha Village, the country of fire, as a princess of the country of the moon.

Back then, on the first night of their wedding, Hatake Sakumo, who had just been crowned, watched the princess—his bride, the future Mrs. Hatake—walking towards him shyly, step by step, wearing this exquisite beaded hairpin. On the face is a beautiful and happy smile that is incomparable to all the jewelry and clothes put together.

The sky is jealous of her beauty, the young and beautiful Mrs. Hatake is doomed to die.Just leave an incense stick for the Hatake family, and then leave the mortal world.Since then, those jewelry have become lonely.

Shuo Mao understood that at that time he was just young and energetic.Now that he thinks about it carefully, Shuo Mao knows that his feelings for the princess are not true love, at least this love is not complete.

No matter how strong, no matter how 'genius', Shuo Mao is still human and a man.There will also be amazing feelings for beautiful princesses, but that is only temporarily captured by the princess's beauty and gentle words and demeanor.

When he heard that the princess who was four years older than him had admiration for him, Sakumo, who was a little superficial due to his lack of age, naturally caught the heart left by the princess.

Afterwards, a series of "vigorous" romantic plots that seemed to be two-way, but were actually wishful thinking were deduced.

It was only when the beautiful soul passed away that Shuo Mao finally realized that he had never given any sincerity.

What's the use of regretting, the fairy has returned to the place where she should have been.

The golden boy and jade girl in everyone's eyes are actually fake mandarin ducks.True love comes, but the woman is an ordinary girl with no attractive face, no noble background, and no talent? !

Shuo Mao thought so, shaking his head and chuckling.

Of course he didn't dislike Quanzhu, but he finally understood the real sign of falling in love with someone, not just seeing the beauty of the other person in his eyes, but experiencing the beauty of his lover with his heart.

Shuo Mao opened the door of the room where Shuo Mao and the princess used to be in Hatake House, walked straight into the dusty room that had not been lived in for a long time, and took out a rosewood from the cabinet next to the dressing table. Classic brown-black box made of wood.

Opening the box, all kinds of exquisite jewelry appeared in front of Shuo Mao.

Seeing that, Shuo Mao frowned immediately.

At first, he just wanted to take a few pieces from here to distribute the kimonos that Quanzhu bought.

But now... he really can't pick...

Sometimes people just can't demand too much from things.

For example, now, Shuo Mao, who always wanted to pick out the best jewelry for Quanzhu, felt dizzy when he saw the box full of jewelry.

At this moment, the doorbell from the gate of Hatake House rang.Shuo Mao glanced at the box, and finally decided to take the whole box away and open the door.

The person who came was something Shuo Mao never expected, and it could even be said that he was someone who had been hiding.

"Lie... Iron-blooded forbearance?!" Shuo Mao panicked seeing the serious and slightly hesitant expression of the people outside the door.

"...Suo Mao." Lie twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he was regretting something, and then immediately changed into a face of death, "I have something to ask you, can you let me go in and talk about it like before?"

"Eh?" Shuo Mao froze in place, then stepped aside, "Please."

"Excuse me." Lie also looked very stiff, but he still stepped into the threshold of Hatake House with difficult steps.

"...No, it's nothing." Shuo Mao was taken aback, but replied politely, "Iron-blooded Shinobi, please do it inside."

As he said that, Shuo Mao was about to go in, but was stopped by Lie.

"No, I'll leave after I finish speaking..." Lie also felt a little unnatural.

"Ah." Shuo Mao had no choice but to turn around, "Then, Excuse me, Iron-Blooded Jōnin...do you have any... advice..."

"No, no, no... Shuo... Hatake is holding back..." Lie waved his hands in a panic, "I just... just..."

"Iron blood can endure but say...it's okay..." Shuo Mao felt like he was about to chew his tongue.

"I just...just..." Lie Yue trembled as he spoke, he simply closed his mouth, and slapped himself under Shuo Mao's surprised gaze.

"..." Shuo Mao was stunned.

"Suo Mao!" As if he had regained his strength, Lie raised his head and looked straight into Shuo Mao's eyes as if he was about to die.

"Uh...ah?!" Shuo Mao was startled awake.

"I came here this time to actually apologize!" Lie's eyes flickered, but was immediately replaced by firmness, "I'm sorry that I've misunderstood you all this time, I'm really sorry!"

With that said, Lie Xing bowed at a standard 90° angle.

"...Iron Blood Jonin?" Shuo Mao began to waver between sluggishness and sobriety.

"I understand that this is difficult, and it will be a little unreasonable. After all, I was at fault first..." After saying the apology, Lie looked relaxed, "But, even if the result may make me... um... But I still I want to ask for your forgiveness, Shuo Mao, and I hope that everything can go back to before that incident happened, and I hope that you can call me by my name directly!"

"...Lie?!" Shuo Mao regained consciousness, and spoke uncertainly.

With just one address, Lie suddenly straightened up, raised his head, and looked at Shuo Mao with excitement.

Seeing Lie's expression, Shuo Mao was startled, but then calmed down again.

"Thank you, Lie." In just one sentence, Shuo Mao knew that his heart had completely opened the window following the words.

"Suo Mao..." Lie was startled, "Perhaps I should say 'thank you'...you saved my life..."

"It's nothing." Shuo Mao's expression eased, "You are my companion."

"..." Lie was stunned, and then said, "That's why I want to thank you." Lie looked up at the sky, took a deep breath with emotion, lowered his head, and looked straight at Sakumo, "Since the ninja At the beginning of the school, you were the best, and later on, you were the first in our class, and achieved a series of achievements that cannot be ignored... You are worthy of 'Konoha Shirato', Sakumo, you are a real hero! I Admitted."

"That's right." Shuo Mao said lightly, what Shuo Mao cared about was no longer those so-called fame or achievements.

"..." Blinking, Lie seemed to be planning something, "Although I admit it, it doesn't mean I'm convinced! Shuo Mao! Come and fight with me!"

In fact, what Lie wanted to say was to reconcile with Shuo Mao, but because he couldn't express it, the words he said completely changed.

...This is also suffering from being uneducated...

"Huh?" Shuo Mao was taken aback, and then understood what Lie meant. After all, he had known Lie for so many years, it was impossible for Shuo Mao not to understand Lie, "Lie, you still haven't changed... But, I refuse your invitation!"

"..." The hot and blood-boiling feelings were instantly cooled...it was hit.

"Sorry, I have more urgent matters." Shuo Mao smiled heartlessly, "So let's put this matter aside for now!"

"Don't put on such a cool expression! Let me tell you, no matter how good-looking you are, I still have an age advantage! Girls should like more mature and charming men!" Lie pointed at Shuo Mao's nose, shouted.

This guy definitely suffers from Congenital Disconnected Mind Syndrome...

"Okay, okay." Shuo Mao Heixian nodded disingenuously, "In this case, please turn around, go to the street, and use your mature manly charm to find Kai a stepmother... I should go to Quanzhu's... ...It's time for dinner."

"Damn it! You graduated from the ninja school together, why did you become a chunin two years earlier than me, why did you do everything much earlier than me... and now you have found your second spring earlier than me?!" Lie began to grow rich Bits of resentment.

"Huh?" Shuo Mao said lazily, "No, I'm more than three years younger than you!"

"..." Lie was stunned, turned around and left, "Sakumo Hatake, I won't let you go! Just watch! I must get married earlier than you!"

"Okay." Shuo Mao could not help but smile as he watched Lie leave.

"Oh, that's right." Lie suddenly stood still, and said with his back to Shuo Mao, "Suo Mao, you picked up something good... Be sure to cherish that bamboo with a sharp mouth, thick skin and hollow belly..." Lie After finishing speaking, he continued to walk in a seemingly deep manner.

"Ah, of course I know." Shuo Mao chuckled, his eyes were clear, "But compared to this, Lie."

"Huh?" Lie turned back while walking.

"A telegraph pole was just installed here a few days ago, so be careful to bump into it...and don't walk like this without looking at the road..."

"Haha! Shuo Mao, you underestimated me as iron-blooded Lie... Ah!" With a 'slap', Lie, who didn't look at the road, bumped into the electric pole.

"...I reminded you..." Cold sweat slipped down, and Shuo Mao turned to the room.

With his back turned to Lie Shuo Mao, his shoulders began to shake violently.

As if he had made some decision, Shuo Mao decisively picked out a piece of jewelry from the jewelry box this time. Compared with the others, it was the most common and least valuable hair tie.

It was a headband with a white background, and the pattern on it was a string of leaves embroidered with gold thread. In the middle of the headband, there was a small pure white pearl embedded.

A very plain headband, with no special features at all, placed in a box full of eye-catching exquisite jewelry, it is almost like an 'insignificant' pear blossom falling into a group of gorgeous peonies.

But Shuo Mao was sure that this was the most suitable for Quan Zhu.Because it is attractive, because its color is soft, because it does not have so many complicated embellishments, because it is quiet, because it is comfortable...

Thinking of this, Shuo Mao laughed, quickened his pace, and rushed towards the direction of Quanzhu Apartment.

Raising his hand, Shuo Mao touched the hair tie on the left chest - where the heart was - through the clothes.

"Spring Bamboo..."

Well, whether it's Quan Zhu or Shuo Mao, it's obvious that they're both fallinlove.
