Hokage Doujin - Spring Water Ding Dong

In this way, they spent a period of time in peace, during which Quanzhu also had a happy... 10th birthday... well, not ten years old.

Days like this have continued until now...

"Flag? Wood? Shuo? Mao—" As soon as the door was opened, Quanzhu roared.

"Ah?!" Shuo Mao was startled, and the scroll in his hand fell to the ground, "Quanzhu, you're back..."

"Speak! Who allowed you to take on this task?!" Quan Zhu ignored Shuo Mao's heartfelt greeting, rushed to Shuo Mao, stared at Shuo Mao, and questioned.

"Yeah?" Shuo Mao was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"It seems to be true..." Quanzhu said angrily, "Of course someone told me!"

==

Just now, Quanzhu came back from a mission, went to Hokage's office to hand in the mission report, and took a new mission by the way.

Coincidentally, as soon as I went out, I met Xia who had just temporarily returned to the village from the garrison position on the southeast front a day ago, and after saying hello, I wanted to return to the flag wood house quickly—so a small farewell is better than a newly married— — but was held back by Xayah.

"Xiao Yemu, let me ask you." Xia pressed Quanzhu's shoulder and said, "Is Hatake really going to do that task?"

"What task?" Quanzhu blinked, looking at Xia's beautiful face in confusion.To be honest, Quanzhu is willing to get close to Xia——this is a good senior who is stable and gentle! "I'm sorry, I've been away on a mission for the past two days, and I just came back..."

"Is that so?...ah, it's been hard work." Xia smiled gently, "yes, I heard: Sayagi and Hatake perform tasks separately...do you not get used to it?" Xia looked narrowly at Quanzhu and smiled, teasingly.

"...No...No..." Quanzhu shrank back, a suspicious pink appeared on his face, and his eyes began to dodge.

"Ah, it's too far away." Xia accepted it as soon as she saw it, not wanting to embarrass her cute junior too much, "About the task that Hatake is going to perform...it seems that Xiao Yemu doesn't know anything about it."

"...Hmm." After hesitating for a while, Quanzhu nodded.

"It's the assassination of the third Kazekage... Ah, hello! Sayoki—" Xia just spoke a complete sentence, and before she finished speaking, she saw that Quanzhu had turned into a puff of smoke, "Hey,

==

"Let's think about it... the only people present at that time were..." Shuo Mao listened to Quanzhu's words, thought for a while, and said, "Yuhi told you!"

"Yeah." Quan Zhu stared at Shuo Mao without blinking.

"Ah... this guy is really brave... he dares to reveal such extremely secret things casually, it seems that he is not a qualified jounin..." Sakumo sighed and talked about him.

"Stop interrupting!" Quan Zhu raised his hand, as if to hit someone.

"Hey..." Shuo Mao saw this, although he knew that the hand would not fall, he still raised his hand to block it cooperatively, "Okay, okay, let me say."

"It's not too bad." Quanzhu put down his hands.From the very beginning, she was not prepared to physically attack Shuo Mao...how could she be willing, "Say."

Shuo Mao smiled at Izumi Zhu, "It's okay! I'm stronger than the third Kazekage!"

"Why are you so sure?!" Quan Zhu raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, and looked at Shuo Mao, "Have you tried it before?"

"No!" Shuo Mao gave the answer very simply.

"..." Quan Zhu's face immediately turned black, and he raised his hand again.

"Don't slap your face!" Shuo Mao shrank back and raised her hand to cover her face.

"Why?" Quanzhu raised his eyebrows, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This is the capital of my wife!" Shuo Mao opened his fingers a little, revealing one eye.

"Heh." Quanzhu smiled, changing his gloomy expression just now.

"Ah, I'm finally smiling." Shuo Mao put down his hand and smiled too. Two perfect curves were framed on the same perfect face—it was the icing on the cake, "It still looks cute when you smile!"

"Idiot Sakumo." Quan Zhu scolded with a smile, his expression turned worried again, "Hey, is it really okay?"

"It shouldn't be a problem... I'm going with Zi Xiao, that guy is very good at assassination." Shuo Mao thought for a while and replied.

"Hmm..." Quanzhu puffed up his cheeks, with a look of resignation, but there was nothing he could do.

"Huh? What's the matter." Shuo Mao chuckled, raised his hand and gently poked Quanzhu's swollen cheek.

"Sure enough, I can't help but worry!" Quan Zhu frowned, his face puffed up into a bun.

"Wow, I don't trust your boyfriend's ability so much." Shuo Mao pretended to be frustrated, pinched Quan Zhu's 'bun skin', "I'm so sad..."

"No." Quan Zhu quickly waved his hand, "But..."

"Oh... well, well, don't talk about it, worry too much and you will become an old woman sooner!" Shuo Mao sighed, and pulled Quanzhu's body with his hands in a funny way, pushing Quanzhu towards the kitchen , "It's getting dark, get ready for dinner!"

"But but...!" Quanzhu reluctantly let Shuo Mao push into the kitchen, still unwilling.

"There is no 'but'!" Shuo Mao couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm hungry!"

After finally walking into the kitchen, Shuo Mao was about to turn around and pack up the things he was going to carry out the mission tomorrow, when Quanzhu ran out of the kitchen again.

Just as Quan Zhu was about to speak, Shuo Mao interrupted him.

"Oh my god, Quanzhu, there really will be no problem! Hurry up and prepare dinner!" Shuo Mao shouted.

"No..." Quanzhu said, just about to speak, but was interrupted by Shuo Mao.

"I assure you that nothing will happen, okay?!" Shuo Mao raised her voice again, stretched out her hand, and pushed Quanzhu into the kitchen.

"No! Listen to me!" Quan Zhu roared, "What I want to say is that there is no food in the kitchen! I'm going to buy food!"

"...Ah." Shuo Mao was stunned, sweating.

"Ah!" Quanzhu said angrily.

"Then... I'll go with you." Shuo Mao stroked his forehead, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Quan Zhu's rhythm.

"En." Quan Zhu nodded, picked up the vegetable basket with one hand, and hugged Shuo Mao's arm with the other.

"Ha ha."

"Yo hoo~ White Fang!" Just as the two of them were about to go out, someone shouted from outside the door.

"Huh?" Shuo Mao frowned when he heard that, walked over and opened the door, a purple figure flashed in, and he took a closer look, it was a guy wearing a raccoon mask, "...Zi Xiao? What are you doing here? ?”

"Of course I want to customize tomorrow's mission plan with you!" Xiao replied in a bored tone.But right away, he found something interesting again, "Huh? You two are going on a date?! It seems that I came at the wrong time... But there is no way... Or, you take me! It's okay, You make an appointment with you, and I'll be right next to you! Don't disturb!"

Having said that, through Anbu's mask, both Izumi Zhu and Sakumo could guess how gossip Xiao Xiao's expression was at this time.

——It’s strange if you don’t disturb me!

This is what Shuo Mao and Quan Zhu thought.

"You...couldn't have come to me because you had nothing to do." Shuo Mao looked at Xiao indifferently, and said in a declarative tone.

"Nonsense, nonsense! How is it possible... I told you that I'm here to discuss and make a plan!" Xiao Xiao, who had been seen through, choked and immediately explained.

As the saying goes, 'to explain is to cover up, and to cover up is to make up a story', Shuo Mao knew this well, so he didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao with lazy but sharp eyes.

"...Really! Look, I'm still wearing a mask!" Xiao was looked at a little unnaturally, and quickly began to make excuses everywhere, "It means that I just finished my work and came here in a hurry !"

"Hmph." Shuo Mao rolled his eyes, clearly not believing, "Well, but speaking of it, we really need to formulate a battle plan...you come in."

After finishing speaking, Shuo Mao turned to Quanzhu again: "Hey, I can't go with you...I'm sorry."

"It's okay! I'll be back soon!" Quanzhu said with a smile, "It is indeed necessary to formulate a battle plan..."

"Then, go and come back quickly." Shuo Mao bowed his head, lifted Quan Zhu's bangs, and kissed Quan Zhu's forehead.

"Okay!" Quanzhu nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Shuo Mao watched Quan Zhu leave with gentle eyes, and then Shuo Mao turned his face, "Go into the room and talk!"

"Hey, why don't you go with Xiao Yemu?! I won't talk nonsense..."

"You don't talk nonsense?! Hmph... If you don't make a lot of publicity, you will really be called hell."

"Hey, that's too much... Bai Fang, you..."

It was dusk, but there were more people on the road: they were all returning home from get off work after a busy day.

Single people pick up some ingredients on the road with bags or baskets; some people simply choose to have dinner at a roadside restaurant.

Those who have a family will walk faster.Occasionally passing by a store, I glance at the things displayed in the window from the corner of my eye. I may stop, hesitate for a moment, maybe start to walk again, or turn around and enter the store with a smile, carefully select some gifts, and look forward to the future. After the gift is brought home, it can win the smile of the family after a surprise.

Through the window of the izakaya, you can see two or three ninjas who have just finished their mission, enjoying a moment of leisure there.The occasional noise is a sign of their love of life.

There is also a family who came out holding hands. They may have enjoyed dinner early and went out for a walk, even if they have seen everything that happened on the road more than once or twice-as long as there are family members by their side, everything in their eyes will be clear. It is so beautiful because of the joy in my heart.

Under the same sky dyed red by the setting sun, everyone is the same at this time, and some of them are calm.

The same is true for Quanzhu walking under this piece of sky, with a happy and contented smile on the corner of his mouth, carrying a heavy thing in his hand, remembering that he will return to the Hatake House in a while, while the smile on his face deepens, his footsteps also Speed ​​up a bit.

"I finished shopping for vegetables... It seems that there is no salt left! Buy a bag and go home!" Quan Zhu turned around and walked towards a shop. He just raised his head to enter the shop, but he paused as if he saw something. , "Huh? This is... Minato? What are you buying? Well, let's go over and say hello!"

As he said that, Quanzhu stepped up his pace and walked into the convenience store, walking towards the sunshine by the window.

When he was about to approach, Quanzhu slowed down again, and approached quietly on tiptoe.Tiptoing to the back of Shuimen, Quanzhu's mouth hooked slightly, and with a bright smile, he slowly stretched out his hand...

"I've discovered you a long time ago!" Quanzhu's hand was about to touch Minato's shoulder, but Minato suddenly turned around, which startled Quanzhu... Speaking of which, Quanzhu originally wanted to scare Minato..."Xiaozhu. "

"Ah ga..." Quanzhu quickly withdrew his hands, and faced the smiling face of Suimun with an embarrassing smile, "Ah~ indeed it is Minato! The result is exactly as I thought! Wow Kaka..." Quan Zhu sneered and explained in embarrassment.

"That's right, Xiaozhu is really powerful!" Minato smiled, and was kind enough not to expose Quanzhu.

"..." Quanzhu raised his hand, pretending to caress casually as he walked along the road, his bangs were blown a little messy by the wind, but actually wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Is Quan Zhu here to go shopping?" Maybe it was a question like a greeting, or maybe it was to give Quan Zhu a step, Minato looked at the full basket in Quan Zhu's hand and asked with a gentle smile.

"Ah, yes!" In any case, Quanzhu had returned to normal, "Is it the same with Mizumon?"

Quanzhu looked down at the supermarket shopping basket in Minato's hand, and was stunned.

"It's all... what..." The corners of his mouth twitched, Quan Zhu pointed to the buckets of...cup noodles in Minato's basket, sweating.

"Oh, this." Minato was still very calm, "Cup noodles!"

"You don't need to tell me, I know it's cup noodles..." Quanzhu pursed his lips, his cat's eyes narrowed into two lines.

"Huh?!" Minato was dumbfounded.

"Eating so many cup noodles...Aren't you afraid of malnutrition?!" Quan Zhu leaned over, his eyes showing a little bit, and he looked at Minato unkindly.

"Yeah?!" Minato was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the longing face in front of him, he hurriedly leaned back and opened the distance, "No, it won't be! There are Bingliangwan!"

"Ah? When you eat, you eat cup noodles and Bingliang balls?" Quan Zhu's face was in disbelief.

"Well... I don't have time to cook because I'm in a rush to develop new techniques." Minato explained, "And every time I finish training, I'm very tired, so I don't bother to prepare dinner... Besides, I cook it myself. Not tasty either."

"Oh?" Quanzhu raised his eyebrows, looking suspicious.

"It didn't matter at first, but later I got used to the rice made by Xiaozhu... Now I can't eat that dark ball of food..." Mizumon looked ashamed, secretly said, "Habits are really scary", "It's true... Bamboo, trust me..."

"Well... well, I believe you." Quanzhu slanted his mouth, blinked, and suddenly smiled brightly, "I didn't say I didn't believe you! You never lied to me—I know that—— That's why I like Minato so much...you are always sincere to the people around you!"

"I like it..." Minato was taken aback, and the temperature on his face couldn't help but start to heat up rapidly.

"Why is your face so red?" Quanzhu stepped back and looked out, "Could it be the setting sun?!"

"Uh... ah! It's the setting sun!" Minato found a reason and quickly grabbed it and used it. "Xiaozhu's face is so red!"

"Really." Quan Zhu muttered and touched his face, then put down his hands indifferently, and continued the topic just now, "So! Put the things back!"

"Things? Put them back?" Minato didn't quite understand.

"Ah, ah... It seems that my expressive ability is very problematic..." Quanzhu sighed, stepped forward, took the things in Minato's hands, and handed them to the shopping guide next to him, "Excuse me Put these back...there's no need."

"Okay, please leave it to me!" The shopping guide lady smiled gently, with a good service attitude.

"Yeah? Why don't you need it?!" Minato was dumbfounded again within a day, "I don't have anything to eat in my apartment..."

"Let's go." Ignoring Mizumon's unconvincing protest, Quanzhu pulled Mizumon out of the convenience store.

Passing by the condiment showcase, Quanzhu took a bag of salt and walked towards the toll booth.

After paying the payment, he walked out of the convenience store, pulling the water door all the way to the apartment building where the two were neighbors.

"...Huh?" Realizing that there was something wrong with the direction, Minato grabbed Quan Zhu, "Xiao Zhu, I went wrong... Hagi House is in that direction."

"I didn't make a mistake! My memory isn't that bad." Quanzhu smiled, dragging the water gate and continued walking, "I'm not going back to the Hatake House... let's go, don't stick around!"

"Xiaozhu... have you moved back again...?" There was a kind of trembling and cautious expectation in the words.

"No!" Quanzhu replied, denying it, "Has Minato forgotten that I have returned the house?"

"...I haven't forgotten..." Minato's voice dropped.

"However, I really miss it!" Quanzhu said to himself, not noticing the pair of blue eyes flickering under the golden bangs, "Every time I was scolded by the teacher of the ninja school, it was Only at this time can I go back... Whenever I draw the curtains, I can always look up and see the fiery red sky outside—it’s beautiful—a little sad, but full of hope for the coming new day!”

"Well, yes." Minato nodded, looked up at the fiery red sky following Izumitake's gaze, and his blue eyes were also dyed red by the sunset that was "somewhat sad but full of hope for the coming new day" .

"Speaking of which, I don't know if anyone has lived in the house I used to live in!"

As she said that, Quanzhu raised her head and began to look for the window of the room where she used to live.

It's a simple apartment building: not fancy, but clean enough, affordable, and with kind landlords.And the geographical location is well chosen, there are no buildings around, the view is wide, and the lighting is good.It's a good place to live.There are many people who choose to rent in this apartment building, so the houses in the building are almost full.

Now that night is getting closer and closer, the curtains of many homes have been drawn, and bright lights are lit in rooms without curtains—it seems that everyone is ready for the arrival of night.

But on the southwest side of the apartment building, the two adjacent houses on the fourth floor looked a little special at this time: the curtains were not drawn, and the lights were not turned on, and the room was also dark.

"Huh? It seems that no one lives in it?" Quan Zhu tilted his mouth, looking at the right one of the two rooms.

"Ah, yes." Minato replied lightly.

Along the way, you said that I should have passed.
