Hokage Doujin - Spring Water Ding Dong

"By the way, I have to go!" After finishing the task report and leaving Hokage's office, Minato suddenly stopped after not walking far.

"Huh? Why?" Hearing this, Quanzhu turned his head to look at the water gate that was only two steps away from him.

"Well...it's almost noon." Shuo Mao who was beside Quanzhu also stopped, looked back at the water gate, then raised his head to look at the sun hanging high above his head, and said.

"That's right, then I have to eat out by myself." Minato replied with a smile.

"Why not together?" Quanzhu tilted his head and asked, "What's so urgent?"

"Hmm...hehe, well, let me tell you!" Minato hesitated for a while, then bared his teeth again, showing a smile as bright and dazzling as the midday sun, "I am developing a new ninjutsu right now. Oh! When it's finished, it must be amazing!"

"Oh, yes." Hearing this, Shuo Mao raised his eyebrows, looked over, and chuckled, "Then I'll congratulate you in advance, Minato."

"So that's how it is!" Quanzhu also laughed, "Then, when the development is completed, you must let us see it!"

"Okay!" Suminya's teeth were dazzlingly white, "...Also, I won't bother you at night, it's better to eat outside!"

"Why?" Quanzhu put away his smile, and looked strangely at Minato, who couldn't find any faults in his smile, "Even if it's developing ninjutsu, there's no need to be in such a hurry!?"

"Well... Kakashi and the others just went out to do missions during this time, and they don't need me to help Obito practice, so I want to seize the free time..." Minato smiled, his blue eyes were free of any impurities, " Not only today's lunch and dinner...not in the future, either."

While speaking, Minato kept showing a very calm smile, but when he blinked, he closed his eyes for a while.

"Oh?" Before Quan Zhu could speak, Shuo Mao spoke first, "Do you mind explaining?"

"Heh... If your family is together, I'm afraid it's not good for an outsider to be there." Minato lowered his eyes, smiled slightly, and replied.

"But Minato is not an outsider!" Izumi frowned, and said, "Haven't we always been friends? And Minato himself said that Sakumo is the goal you want to surpass! People say that knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. If you are not together If so, how does Minato know about Sakumo's current situation?"

"Huh? Hehe, no way." Minato raised his eyes and looked at Izumi Zhu very carefully, "It's not like we'll never see each other again!"

"But..." Quan Zhu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Shuo Mao held him down, "Suo Mao..."

"Then, work hard!" Sakumo looked at Minato with sincere eyes.

Sakumo has always been very grateful to Minato, not only because the father and son have been living at Minato's house since Kakashi's mother passed away, but also because he helped him take care of the young Kakashi at the same time... Although it may often happen The more you help, the more busy you are.And when he was very depressed, Minato was the only one besides Kakashi who stood up, comforting and encouraging Sakumo with his own sunny temperament.

"Of course!" Minato nodded with a smile, then thought for a while, and then said, "Hey, during this mission, when Xiaozhu and I went to the witch's palace, Xiaozhu told me that he wanted to visit Hatake's residence!"

"Huh?" Quan Zhu was taken aback for a moment.

"Ah... um..." Shuo Mao was also taken aback for a moment, and then began to feel a little unnatural.

"That's it! I'm leaving!" Minato smiled and turned around, "Time is precious!"

"Ah... let's go." Quanzhu hastily raised his hand and shouted before he recovered.

Minato, who was leaving, didn't say anything, just raised his hand and waved it smartly, without looking back, let alone turning around.It just left a warm back, and the noon sun cast a shadow on his side face.

"Hey, Izumitake..." Shuo Mao stammered as he watched Minato leave, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two.

"...Huh?" Quan Zhu was stunned, and reluctantly turned his head to face Shuo Mao, but his eyes avoided looking at Shuo Mao in embarrassment.

"Quanzhu...do you really want to go to Qimu House?" Shuo Mao looked at Quanzhu with some unease, but also looked away, forcing his gaze to fix on the colorful butterfly flying by.

"Ah... Actually this is Minato..." Quanzhu hesitated, trying to say that it was Minato's joke, but was interrupted by Sakumo.

"If you really want to go, it's okay." Shuo Mao pondered for a while, and then said, "But, please wait... I'll take you there later."

"Ah?" Quan Zhu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Shuo Mao, with disbelief and anticipation in his eyes.

"It's right here, don't leave! I'll be right back!" After saying that, Shuo Mao walked away.

"Eh? ... Mmm."

Standing where he was, Quanzhu's face was a little flushed by the midday sun, and his heart jumped.

At noon in Muye Village, it was so quiet that people could hear the heartbeat clearly, which was as clear as the happiness in front of Quanzhu's eyes.

"Okay, let's do it again!" In the quiet woods, a golden head shook and finally made up its mind.

"1-2-3!"

On the count of three, Minato pressed the expensive stopwatch in his hand that was accurate to 0.00001 seconds, and disappeared in place at the same time... But immediately, accompanied by a short scream of pain, he reappeared up.

"Wow!" Minato pressed his golden head tightly, and sat on the ground, as if in pain, "Damn it... I hit a tree again... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

After a while, Minato regained his strength, and then he fell back as if he had taken off his clothes, lying on the ground sprawled in all directions.

"Hey... Although I already have a general idea of ​​​​developing a new ninjutsu, until now, I can't even hide from the tree as an obstacle. How can I use a stopwatch to time it?"

With that said, Minato raised his hand and glanced at the stopwatch in his hand.

"I spent so much money to buy such a thing, and it's basically useless... hey..." Minato scratched his golden hair with both hands in distress, and then lowered his hands helplessly, talking to himself Said: "Who told you to save face and tell Xiaozhu that you can be accurate to 0.00001 seconds just by visual inspection?! You deserve it!"

"Well! Do it again!"

... So naturally I hit the tree again.

But this time, Minato was not as hysterical as before, but supported the tree trunk with his left arm and leaned his forehead against it.I remembered the scene I saw during this mission that I might never forget for the rest of my life:

==

Minato remembered it well.On the night of the battle against Mao Mata, when Izumitake was driving out, I slipped out of the tent, and then I was afraid that my companions who went with me would find me, so I used the transformation technique to become a cloud ninja and joined the battle.

Then I saw the scene where Quanzhu singled out Maoyou very smoothly.

To be honest, when I saw the scene where Izumitake was blown away like a leaf, Minato almost ran over excitedly, but was stopped by the sudden pain from the liver.

While pressing hard on the sore spot and constantly scolding himself who never drank alcohol for why he had to drink all of Jiraiya's teacher's wine on impulse, he could only weakly lean on the tree trunk and watch the situation on the battlefield nervously.

When he saw Quanzhu being stepped on by the cat again, he almost gritted his teeth.

Minato could feel that the tension and self-blame he felt at that time was only one step away from evolving into despair.

But when seeing Izumitake falling from the sky being caught by Sakumo, Minato breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time let the chest full of bitterness forget the pain for a moment...

In the end, Tsunade found Minato and brought him back, who was too painful to move.

==

"Never let that kind of thing happen to me again...never!" Gritting his teeth, Minato made up his mind, but then sighed with an unconcealable sadness, "Namikaze Minato, you ...Little Bamboo..."

For a moment, Minato couldn't figure out what he wanted to say. He just closed his eyelids, opened them again, stood up straight, and pressed the stopwatch in his hand again.

"If this ninjutsu is successful, it will be called 'Flying Thunder God'."

At noon, Konoha was so quiet that one could hear the sound of sweat streaming down the corner of her mouth with a wry smile, and it was as clear as the determination in Minato's heart.

"Follow me." Holding Quan Zhu's hand, Shuo Mao walked ahead.

"En." Quan Zhu nodded, and followed closely, every step was filled with excitement and anticipation, as well as sweetness that could not be ignored.

"It's here!" Shuo Mao stopped suddenly.

Quanzhu also stood still when he heard the words, and looked up at the palace in front of him, although it didn't look like the palace of the witches in Yunnin Village, but he could tell at a glance that it was the house of everyone and famous households.

Looking to the left and right, Quanzhu saw that the outer wall of the flag wood house was covered with vines, and vaguely saw a few shy budding roses hidden behind a large number of vines.

"Come in!" Shuo Mao, with affectionate eyes and a smile in his eyes, took a certain bamboo's hand, pushed the door and entered Hatake Hon's house.

"Wow--"

The goal is prosperity: the courtyard is full of various flowers and trees, all neatly trimmed, there is a winding path paved with small stones of various colors in the courtyard, leading to the house, and there are various kinds of flowers blooming along the path. little flower.

"It's so beautiful..." Quanzhu sighed, "Is this the original appearance of Hatake's house?"

"Huh...huh?" Shuo Mao was just about to nod his head, but suddenly felt that what Quan Zhu said just now was not right, so he paused again, and asked tentatively, "The original appearance?!"

"Hey, if Shuomo is willing, I can promise to Shuomo." Quanzhu didn't answer Shuomo's knowingly asking, but turned around and smiled, "I will restore Hatake's house to its original vitality! ... So , Get rid of the illusion! Although this illusion is relatively advanced, it will be troublesome to crack it. But don’t forget that I am also an illusion type, and since it is an illusion, I can tell it.”

"Hey? Why do you say that?" Shuo Mao was stunned for a moment, but immediately took chances and put on a serious face.

"Hehe." Quan Zhu walked towards Shuo Mao, smiling as he walked, "When I didn't enter the Hatake House just now, I saw a lot of wild vines on the wall."

"What does this mean?" Shuo Mao asked with a smile.

"Perhaps this doesn't really explain anything, but I also saw that behind the dense wild vines, I knew it was a man-made rose at a glance... Now that the roses have been planted, why don't you remove those wild vines? Don't be afraid of those with strong vitality. Do wild vines compete with roses for nutrients? Besides, the purpose of planting roses is for people to watch! But why hide them behind wild vines?" Quan Zhu paused, then looked at the prosperity around him, "The vines around the roses outside the wall have not been carefully taken care of, why are they taken care of so well inside the wall?"

"..." Shuo Mao raised his eyebrows, speechless.

"Actually, this is only second." Quanzhu walked up to Shuo Mao, folded his arms, and tilted his head to look at Shuo Mao, "The main reason is: I wouldn't believe that a cook could burn or Is it a big man who flooded the kitchen, who can take care of those flowers and plants carefully?"

"Hmm..." Shuo Mao nodded, with some smiles in his eyes.

"Of course it cannot be completely denied that there may be hired servants to clean. After all, according to what I heard, the Hatake family is also a well-known big family! Although it is not as large as Hinata, Uchiha, etc., there are still some A certain family property and power." Quanzhu shrugged, shook his head, hooked the corner of his mouth, "But since there are servants, why do some people bring their 'little master' to other people's houses to eat that pot of black meat? Huge, almost not a 'fan' of rice?"

Saying that, Quan Zhu stretched out his hand, and lightly poked Shuo Mao's chest.

"Hehe, that's right." Shuo Mao grabbed Quanzhu's hand and held it tightly.

"Exclude the above points, if Shuo Mao refuses to admit it." Quan Zhu tilted his head and raised a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows. With a deliberately dangerous atmosphere, he narrowed his cat's eyes and gritted his teeth on purpose, "That can only mean, Shuo Mao There are women in Mao's family, and they are not too old... Either Shuo Mao has sisters, or you are 'Golden House Cangjiao'!"

"Haha!" Sakumo laughed and finally gave up, "Yuhi, come out!"

"Ah, Xiao Yemu, I can testify for Hatake!" A low-pitched male voice appeared, "He definitely doesn't have a 'Golden House Cangjiao'! But there is a lovely girl living in his heart...it's you, Sayoki."

Xia came over, stood beside Quan Zhu and Shuo Mao, and said with a smile.And at the same time formed a seal, unlocked the illusion.

The prosperity just now dissipated, and everything returned to normal:

The courtyard is still the same courtyard, the scale is the same as before; the winding path is the same winding path, which is also very different from what was just now.The total number of flowers and trees has basically remained the same, except that except for a tall and straight cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, the others are all bare... Of course, it is not ruled out that there are a few trees with a few pitiful leaves hanging on them.

"Well, it seems that this is true." Quan Zhu looked around and nodded with a smile.

"Well, I'm sorry to let you go for nothing at noon!" Sakumo scratched the back of his head and said to Xia, "But thank you anyway, Yuhi."

"You're welcome." Xia smiled beautifully.It's hard to imagine such a veritable "beautiful" man, if he is used to looking in the mirror every day, I really don't know where other women can fit in his eyes? ...It seems that Xia's late wife must have been beautiful during her lifetime, and she might have been a peerless beauty——Quanzhu guessed so.

"It seems that you asked me to wait where I was, and ran to Yuhi Jonin to arrange the illusion for you?" Quanzhu raised his eyebrows, understanding why the illusion just now was so difficult to understand.

"Hehe, um." Shuo Mao smiled, the smile was not very natural.

"Hatake told me." Xia was a good old man, and she spoke up for Shuo Mao, "He did this because he was afraid that Xiao Yemu would be disappointed when he saw Hatake's appearance."

"Really?" Quan Zhu looked up at Shuo Mao.

"...Yes." Shuo Mao nodded.

"Idiot." Saying this, Quanzhu's face didn't show the slightest bit of blame, but was very gentle, "How could you be disappointed? In fact, I was already mentally prepared."

"I'm just afraid that Quanzhu will dislike it..." Shuo Mao raised his eyebrows, looking like a child who has done something wrong.

"Why do you dislike it?" Quan Zhu tilted his head and smiled.

"Hmm..." Shuo Mao raised his hand and scratched the back of his head again, unable to speak.

"Because Hatake heard that girls don't like men who are too sloppy." Xia interjected.

"Sloppy?!" Quan Zhu looked around, "It's okay, at most it's a little barren, but it's still quite tidy."

"Hehe, it's Hatake who is nervous about you. Sayaki." Xia is simply the love ambassador among men, "so she has high demands on herself: at the beginning, she said to tidy up. But then I stopped, I think that It would take too much time, so I volunteered to help use the illusion... I also specially used an advanced illusion array, I didn't expect Xiaoyagi to see it right away-it seems that Xiaoyagi knows Hatake very well!"

"Well...Actually..." Hearing Xia say this, Quan Zhu felt embarrassed, "Actually, it's really nothing... And after watching the scene in the illusion just now, it made me want to help me get the flag back again." The idea of ​​restoring the wooden house to its original prosperity."

"That's right, the illusion just now is not without proof!" Xia said, "I've visited here before, and the original Hatake House is so beautiful!"

"Then... will Shuo Mao agree?" Quan Zhu asked Shuo Mao as he leaned forward with his hands behind his back.

"If Quanzhu is willing, I welcome it!" Shuo Mao smiled and knocked on Quanzhu's hand.

"Well, it seems that it's nothing to do with me." Xia said with self-knowledge, "Then I should go!"

"Thank you, Yuhi." Sakumo nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"You're welcome, a gentleman has the beauty of an adult!" Xia smiled and waved her hands, "As long as Hatake is going to marry Sayaki in the future, don't forget to invite me to join in the fun!"

"Yes, I will." Shuo Mao nodded and made a promise as he embraced Quanzhu who was blushing.

"Hehe, then I won't disturb you." Xia looked at Quanzhu, then at Shuo Mao, and finally pursed her lips into a smile, "Farewell."

"Go well, I won't see you off." Shuo Mao smiled generously and calmly.

At noon in Konoha, the quiet atmosphere replaced the flowers before the moon.

When two lovers are together, they never need too much form, because the hearts are very close, and there is a dance of peach blossoms in the heart, which is enough to make up for the defects in form.
