Hokage Doujin - Spring Water Ding Dong

"We are ninjas sent by Konoha to protect Miko-sama, please inform me."

Ninjas are fast in doing things, but they immediately start executing their tasks as soon as they have assigned them.

I don't know what happened to the others, but Izumi Bamboo and Minato have already arrived at Miko-sama's palace.

"Ah, are you the ninja of Konoha? Miko-sama has already predicted it, you two, please come with me!" After knowing the background of Izumitake and Minato, the guard immediately turned sideways and made a petition.

"It's like this, that's great." Minato smiled gently, then turned around and waved to Izumitake behind him, "Xiaozhu, they said that Miko-sama already knew we were coming, so they can go in directly!"

"That's really good." Quanzhu stepped forward, "In this case, it will save a lot of trouble!"

Follow the maids in the palace all the way through the secluded courtyard and winding corridors.During this journey, Quan Zhu had a feast for his eyes.

"Ah, that's how good life is!" Said the palace maid to report, but Quanzhu stood in place, looking at the surrounding scenery, and expressed such emotion.

"I guess Xiaozhu hasn't been to Hatake's old house before!" Minato smiled gently and took up Quanzhu's stubble, "That's not worse than here... Maybe it's even more beautiful than this!" After thinking about it, Minato He opened his mouth and added: "Of course, it's not as big as here."

"Is that so?!" Quanzhu immediately seemed to hear the interesting words, turned his head, and looked at the water gate.

"That's right! The Hatake clan was once regarded as a famous family in Konoha, and even in the Land of Fire!" Minato smiled softly, answering Izumitake's doubts, "Although the Hatake clan has always been sparsely populated, because every A descendant is a top-level genius ninja, so Hatake's clan has never lost to the Uchiha clan or the Hyuga clan in Konoha or the entire Fire Kingdom!"

"Sounds so powerful!" Quanzhu's face reflected the brilliance that stunned Minato, "But Shuomo has never heard of it before!"

"Hehe, this is normal!" Looking at the bright smile on Quanzhu's face, Minato suddenly felt a little glaring, "Sakumo never takes honor seriously, how can I put it...Actually, Sakumo gave me The first impression... I always feel that it is a bit noble..." Scratching the back of his head, Minato smiled honestly.

"Really!" Lowering his head slightly, Quan Zhu thought of something, and suddenly smiled softly.

"You two have been waiting for a long time, please come in." At this moment, the maid who announced came out and interrupted their contemplation.

"Ah, I'm sorry to trouble you." Minato politely bowed to the other party, with a gentle and warm smile.

"...No, this is my job, please be polite." The little girl obviously couldn't resist the electricity that Minato unconsciously released, her face turned red, and her voice became flustered, "Well, if If there is nothing else, I will go to make tea according to Miko-sama's wishes."

"We have nothing to do. Your Excellency, please go ahead." Minato replied very considerately.

The maid bowed her head and slowly backed away. When she turned around, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Minato, but immediately lowered her eyebrows, covered her blushing face with the sleeves of her wide palace gown, turned and left quickly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's unusual, Minato." Izumi Zhu, who had folded his arms from the beginning and looked at everything with a posture of watching a play, now bent down behind Minato to look at the departing maid, There are words in the mouth.

"Huh?" Minato looked at Izumitake innocently, not understanding what Izumizhu meant.

Seeing that, Quanzhu clicked his tongue, shook his head, and walked to the room where the witch stayed.

"Huh? Xiaozhu, wait for me." Minato looked puzzled, but he had to let go of his doubts, and trotted two steps to catch up with Quanzhu.

"Are these two envoys sent by Konoha——Namikaze Jominin and Sayo Kigami Shinobi?" The childish voice came from behind the bamboo curtain, and Minato and Izumitake were taken aback, "Your guests come from afar, Forgive me for not being able to go to meet you."

Such an immature tone paired with such mature words is really awkward.

Thinking of this, Quanzhu and Minato looked at each other, and both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

"Master Miko is too polite. It is an honor for us ordinary people to meet Miko. You don't have to do this." Quanzhu had seen the faces of those nobles a lot in his previous life, and he imitated them very well. Sample.

"..." There was a long silence behind the bamboo curtain, so long that Quanzhu thought he had said something wrong again, so he exchanged glances with Minato several times.

"Hua Shi." After a long time, Miko-sama finally made a movement.

"My subordinate is here. Miko, please order." A servant who had been kneeling by the side bowed down and replied respectfully.

"Take down the bamboo curtain, it's unnecessary." The tone was very calm. If it wasn't for this immature voice, Quanzhu would have thought that this was a hermit who had experienced all kinds of storms and saw through the world of mortals.

"Yes." The person who was called Huashi stood up, raised his hand and removed the obstacles between Quanzhu, the water gate and the witch.

"Go and open the door, let Qiu Deng bring the tea in, and let's go down together."

With the obstacle gone, Minato and Izumitake could clearly and conveniently see the true face of the maiden—it was a seven-year-old girl who was too strangled.

— No wonder the voice is so tender.

This is what Quanzhu and Minato thought in their hearts at the same time.

The man named Huashi bowed his head respectfully, moved to the door, opened the door, and saw the maid who led the way just now standing there with a plate, her eyebrows downcast.

"Wow, Miko-sama can hear footsteps more accurately than Xiaozhu." At this moment, Minato leaned into Quanzhu's ear and whispered this.

After hearing this, Quanzhu gave Minato a blank look, "I'd bet with my fingernails that I didn't hear the footsteps."

"Why?" Minato looked like a good student who was diligent and inquiring.

"If this is heard by the sound of footsteps, how many footsteps does the witch have to remember... Besides, generally speaking, many things of the maids in the palace must be unified, especially the sound of footsteps, which are all heard when entering the palace. specially trained."

"That's right." Minato suddenly realized.

"Nonsense, look at that crystal ball in front of the witch." Quanzhu is a good teacher, and solved the problem for Minato completely. "That's the real reason why she knew there was someone outside the door."

"That means we learned about our visit in this way!" Minato is also a good student, and he can infer other things from one example.

"Yeah." Quan Zhu nodded, and answered Minato.

At this moment, the maid who delivered the tea put down the tea and some snacks in front of the maiden, and walked up to Izumitake and Minato.

It was the person who was electrocuted by Minato with a smile just now.

"Please take your time, both of you." Putting the tea and snacks in front of Quanzhu and Minzumen, the lovely court lady said in a soft voice, it seemed that she had received strict training.

"Thank you." Minato thanked very politely.

On the other hand, Quanzhu sat silently, but pretended to appreciate the exquisite dim sum. From the corner of his vision, he noticed that the court lady named Qiu Deng had been sneaking at Minato with her beautiful almond eyes. After smiling, his eyes immediately floated up again.

——Tsk tsk tsk, blushing again... Hehe, the shy girl is really cute!Autumn lights, right? !remember.

Quan Zhu secretly smirked unscrupulously in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all... In some respects, Quan Zhu is also a very oily guy.

After serving the tea, Xiao Qiudeng hugged the tray and left with Hua Shi just now. When he left, he reluctantly looked at the water gate for several times before leaving.

The door was closed, and only Miko, Izumitake, and Minato were left in the room.

"Looks like I'm going to trouble you two." After closing the door for a while, she probably confirmed that the people outside the door had gone far away, so the witch finally spoke.

"Master Miko, you are being polite, this is our responsibility." Quanzhu seemed to be very polite.

"In that case, as a priestess of the Land of Thunder, I would like to ask you two to risk your lives to protect me during this period." The priestess was still sitting there, as comfortable as sitting on a chair.

On the other hand, Quanzhu, because he was not used to kneeling, began to stretch his hands under his knees and knead.

"I've said that this is my responsibility, and Miko-sama doesn't have to make such a request. I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't bear it."

"That's right, that's great." The little witch's tone was still as calm as still water, "If Sayo Kisami is not used to this, you can sit cross-legged, no need to worry about it."

"Ah, that's right!" Feeling ashamed, Quan Zhu changed his posture... No matter how indecent it was, it was all because of his knees.

Speechless for a moment, in order to cover up his embarrassment, Quanzhu had no choice but to drink tea.

"Well, Shinobu Sayoki seems to be very familiar with court life?" The little witch spoke out of nowhere.

"Pfft—" Hearing what the little witch said, Quan Zhu spit out all the tea that he hadn't swallowed yet, "cough, cough...I'm not familiar with it, I just know a thing or two...cough cough."

The Minato next to him was not surprised, and kindly patted Quanzhu on the back.But the witch has lived in a place isolated from the outside world since she was a child, and she is used to seeing the gang of refined scholars, so she was stunned for a while.

"May I ask for your advice, cough, how did you know about this, my lord?" Quanzhu finally couldn't help asking out, shouting evil in his heart.

"Oh, I was born with a good ear, and I happened to overhear the conversation between the two just now, so..."

There was another 'poof—', this time the water gate was changed.

Izumi Bamboo Heixian stretched out his hand to pat Minato's back while thinking in his heart:

——Sure enough, whispering is not a good habit... especially in front of similar priestesses...

"Cough, cough, cough-cough-cough-"

It seems that Minato choked more seriously, coughing all the time, and his face turned red... I just don't know if it's because of the choking redness or the redness of being photographed... Maybe, a mix of both? !

The little witch was stunned again, no matter how precocious a child is, he can't accept many similar accidents in one day...

"Ah, I finally found you."

The moon has not yet risen, and the dark blue night sky is full of stars, twinkling and playful like elves.

The people under the stars, sitting on the ancient roof, looked up at the elves in the night sky in a daze, wondering what they were thinking.

When everything was silent, brisk voices came from the ground.

Minato lowered his head and saw that the smile on Izumi Zhu's face below was brighter than the stars in the sky, and he couldn't help being dazed.

"What are you doing here? Looking at the stars?"

When Minato came back to his senses, at some time, Quanzhu had already run to the roof and sat side by side with him.

"Well, it's beautiful." Nodding, Mizumon leaned back, put his arms on his head, and lay down on the roof.

"The night can always cover up everything, no matter it is beautiful or ugly." Quanzhu looked up at the sky, "I used to like the night the most, because at this time, everything seems to stop and be quiet. It seems that there is no need to worry about whether you will be attacked... Where is Minato?"

"Huh?" When the name was suddenly called, Minato withdrew his gaze from the night sky and turned to Izumitake.

"Do you like day or night?" Quanzhu didn't look back, but kept staring at the starry sky.

"...at night." After thinking for a while, Minato replied with an uncertain tone, "at night, no matter what it is, whether it is killing or war... it will stop, and everything will belong to you. For the tranquility. It seems to be able to enjoy a moment of peace at the same time."

"That's right." Quanzhu smiled and responded, "Does Minato long for peace?"

"Well. War will only bring misfortune to more people, and peace may be the source of people's happiness." Minato thought for a while, and then spoke.

"That's right." Hugging his knees, Quanzhu put his chin on his knees and remained silent.

Everything seemed to calm down, and I was speechless for a while.

It's just that Minato seems to be possessed by a demon, and he can't take his eyes off Quanzhu anymore. It seems that in his heart, the spirits on the ground are much more beautiful than the spirits in the sky.

The soft night wind blew up.It seemed to be an inevitable coincidence, the hair band on Quanzhu's head was untied, and the black hair on his head immediately fell apart because he lost the restraint.

The wind blows, blowing hair.Minato could only feel a mild sweet fragrance covering his face.Raise your hand, as if you want to grab the intoxicating incense.Na Xiang deliberately resisted, and slipped away from between his fingers, and opened his fingers, all that Minato could see was the calluses on his hands that had been worn for many years.

Looking up, Minato saw that the elf was holding down the hair next to his ear with one hand, so that it would not fly around and block his sight.

"Ah, hair band!" Quan Zhu exclaimed, turned his head, looked behind him, stretched out his hand, but couldn't find the white hair band that was blown away by the wind, which was cherished by Quan Zhu like a treasure.

Hearing the sound, Shuimen stood up, and then disappeared.

In less than a second, Minato stood in front of the stunned Izumitake again, holding the naughty headband that was blown away by the wind.

"Hey, take it!" Handing the hair tie to Quanzhu, Minato smiled softly, "This is very precious to Xiaozhu! Don't lose it again!"

"Hmm." Taking the headband blankly, Quanzhu still couldn't believe what he just saw, "Minato, you just..."

"Huh? Well, it's okay." Smiling lightly, Shuimen sat down next to Quanzhu.

--fine? !This speed, even the family of Sifengyuan, may not be able to catch up...

Thinking so, Quan Zhu shook his head, seeing his gaze retracted, he raised his hand, trying to put the hair tie back on.

A hand reached out and pressed Quan Zhu's hand.

Raising his head, Quanzhu looked at Minato suspiciously, his face full of bewilderment.

"It's better not to tie it up." Minato's smile was still so gentle, like the moon about to rise in the night sky, "Maybe it's not suitable to wear a hairband tonight! I finally got it back and said..."

"what?"

Blinking and blinking, Quan Zhu seriously considered Minato's proposal, so he put the hairband back into his clothes, letting Changfa dance with Ye Feng.

"Hehe." Seeing this scene, Minato smiled. Dang always felt that there was a little bit of helplessness and sadness in the smile.

"Can you give it to me?" After a long time, Minato opened his mouth.

"Huh?" Turning back in confusion, Quan Zhu looked at the side of Minato, still gentle and warm.

"Izumitake's hair is so beautiful!" Minato also turned around, "Can you give me a strand?"

"Yeah?! Okay." The inexplicable Izumi Zhu was puzzled by Minato's nonsensical request, but nodded in agreement.

Pulling out the Zanpakutō with his right hand, he grabbed a strand of flying hair with his left hand, and Izumi Take cut off the strand of hair with the Zanpakutō without thinking at all, and handed it to Minato.

"Thank you very much." Minato took the hair and put it in his arms carefully.

"What do you want hair for?" Quan Zhu only remembered to ask at this moment.

"Keep it as a souvenir!" Minato replied somewhat nonsensically.

"Huh?" Quanzhu didn't understand at all, so he looked at Minato, hoping to get a thorough explanation.

"Look!" Minato didn't answer Quanzhu directly, but pointed forward, "It's the moon! The moon has risen."

"Huh?!" Quanzhu looked in the direction pointed by the water gate, and sure enough, the last quarter moon was slowly rising from the sky, "Ah, it really is!"

It's so easy that it's unbelievable that Izumitake, who is almost as old as the old tree spirit and is Konoha's elite jonin, was so easily diverted.

"Heh..." Minato sweated a little after realizing this, and then continued to smile.

"It's so beautiful!" Quanzhu didn't notice anything yet, shouting like a child.

"why?"

It was late at night, and Minato was lying on the tatami mat in the room he was allocated, thinking about everything just now.

"Xiaozhu, I'll tell you why now...if you can hear me."

"That's because, Xiao Zhu, you are several times more beautiful than that moon."

Of course, Quanzhu couldn't hear it.Moreover, I am afraid that there will be no chance to hear it again in the future.
