Hokage Doujin - Spring Water Ding Dong

After Izumitake left, the rest of the staff continued to follow Leo, the psychic dog summoned by Kakashi, on the way to hunt down Orochimaru.

I don't know if it was because there were no people who were chattering, Xiao suddenly became very silent, so silent that the subordinates next to him looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xiao’s silence, of course, was not because there was no one to quarrel with—although it was also because of Quanzhu’s silence—he just heard the words left by Quanzhu before he left:

'Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to Hongdou. '

Under the fox mask, Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth in a self-deprecating manner, sighing in her heart that she is such a sensitive woman.

That's right, as Hongdou's uncle and guardian, how could Xiao not worry about his niece.Even though he said "don't worry, don't worry" over and over again, Xiao has never underestimated Hongdou's position in his life - that is his only relative - ever since Xiao's brother and sister-in-law died on the battlefield where there was no grass In the morning, Xiao took it for granted that the only flesh and blood left by his brother and sister-in-law was Hongdou.The 16-year-old Mitarai Shaya is only half a child in terms of age, but she still has to be patient and pull the babbling little red bean to grow up.

For this reason, Xiao has never stopped complaining to his friend Yue Guangmi: how 'irresponsible' his brother and sister-in-law are, how naughty Hong Dou is, how hard he is...but all these are just 'complaints', Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Xiao cherishes his little niece extremely -- Xiao, who knew the cruelty of war early, how could he not know how great happiness it is to have relatives.

At the age of 20, Xiao became the Minister of Anbu under the admiration and anticipation of many people. After that, he became even busier and hardly had time to take care of his little niece. Fortunately, Yumi was able to take care of him.But even so, no matter how busy I am, Xiao will find time to visit Hongdou, maybe at ninja school, maybe at home.

Occasionally, Xiao didn't finish his day's work until late at night, and when he hurried home, he found that Hongdou had already fallen asleep at the dining table.At this time, Xiao also had no choice but to carry the red beans to the bed, tucked the corners of the quilt carefully, and then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the little girl. Xiao also seemed to be able to relax, showing a serene smile .

Get up and pack things up again, prepare lunch for the next day for the red beans, leave a note full of instructions, and when the first ray of sunlight shines into the room in the morning, cheer up your spirits and take a last look at yourself, which is rare, quiet and lovely He pushed open the door of his house, put on a mask, and fought on the battlefield in order to protect his cherished village and the people in the village.

It can be said that Mitarai Anko is not only Mitarai Yoko's niece, but also a treasure that Yoko would not want to lose even if she lost her life, and a close relative.

"...Please..." Xiao Yemu bit his lips under the mask, and said softly but heavily, "Xiao Yemu."

==

"This strange power...does it come from here?" Holding Hongdou, who had temporarily fallen asleep due to the pain, Quanzhu saw at a glance that the place where Hongdou's right hand was grasping was three comma-shaped spots on the skin on the side of the neck. pattern.

"Then, this is where the chakra is messed up?!... Huh? What is this?!" After noticing that there were two scars on the side of the pattern that looked like they had been pierced by sharp objects, Quanzhu paused for a while For a moment, "Wait... two?! The wound is inward... Oh, myGod! Don't tell me it's a snake tooth mark!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Orochimaru, don't blame the brothers for being unkind." Quan Zhu shook his head and sighed as he picked up the sleeping red bean, "You must be careful not to be bitten to death by a purple fur fox... ..."

==

On this side, Yoo and his party maintained their formation, held their breath, and followed the psychic dog summoned by Kakashi to jump among the trees.Suddenly, the psychic dog Leo stopped.

"What?" Kakashi asked, bowing his head.

"It's near here." Leo replied.

"I've noticed." It was Xiao's voice, but it didn't come from where everyone knew Xiao was originally standing.

All the Anbu personnel present looked around, but saw Isamu under the tree, had already pulled out the ninja sword, facing Orochimaru who appeared from nowhere and was dressed in a yukata and kimono as pale as his face, and was ready to fight.

"This speed..." Seeing this, the other members of the Anbu were all shocked—ah, this is the strength of the head of the Anbu... Even if they are among the strongest fifth teams, their strength is more than one step away from the head two steps away.

"Hehe, I didn't expect... I could also alert Anbu Minister Zi Xiao to go out in person..." Orochimaru smiled charmingly, his brown eyes narrowed like a snake, just like a snake looking for its prey.

"Huh? Didn't Orochimaru come here for you?!" Ira said in a tone of 'today's nice weather', "Abducted the red beans..."

"Ah, I'm so sorry." Orochimaru stuck out his weirdly long tongue and licked his lips, "I almost forgot."

"Almost forgot?!" Xiao's eyes narrowed dangerously behind the mask, "That means I haven't completely forgotten!"

"You could say the same."

"That's good." Xiao pretended to be relaxed and shrugged with a smile, "This way it won't prevent me from settling accounts with you... Orochimaru, die!"

As the voice fell, Xiao quickly bullied Orochimaru and escaped Orochimaru's oppressive small attack all the way.

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to the fight with Minister Anbu." Orochimaru saw that he couldn't avoid it, so he also set off.

"I'm very honored for this." Xiao replied unhurriedly, put away the ninja sword, and quickly formed seals with both hands, "Fire escape—the technique of the big fireball!"

Yue Guangmi sat on a chair, looking at Mitarai Kodou, the niece of his best friend Mitarai Yoko who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed not far away, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Mi suddenly felt that Konoha's ward should be redecorated—it really shouldn't be so pale everywhere.

With such thoughts in mind, Mi gradually recalled the past...

==

20-year-old Konoha Ren Yueguangmi is sitting at the dining table in his home, waiting for the steaming bowl of medicinal soup on the table in front of him to cool down before drinking it.Suddenly, he heard that something smashed the window of his house, and there was a "bang", but the window glass was not smashed.

Raising his head in surprise, Mi smiled, stood up, went to the window and opened it, unexpectedly saw the person downstairs who was waving to him.

"Hey, Mi!" The 17-year-old Konoha Special Ninja Mitarai Sho stood on the ground, looking up at the second floor of the apartment building in front of him, which was the third open window from the left, waving his hand while Shouted to Mi who pushed the window and poked his head out after hearing himself hitting the glass with a ball of paper: "Moonlight Mi—"

"Is there something wrong?" Mi asked weakly, and Mi answered as loudly as possible.

"Come down quickly! Come on!" Xiao seemed to be very excited, waving his hands non-stop.

"Come right away." Mi smiled helplessly, nodded to his good friend Xiao, closed the window and walked back to the house, picked up the soup that was not very hot, and drank it in one go, which could only be used to delay himself. Life expectancy, but can never eradicate the bitter medicine of hereditary diseases in her family.

After changing her shoes, Mi opened the door and walked downstairs.

"Oh, I'm slowing you down." Seeing Mi going downstairs, Xiao immediately ran up to grab Mi and run outside.

"Hey, I just finished drinking the medicine, so I can't do strenuous exercise right away." Seeing this, Mi hurriedly stopped her.

"It's really troublesome." Xiao curled his lips, and let Mi go in a reasonable way.

"Hehe." Mi smiled with a good temper, and didn't care about it, but turned to ask Xiao: "What do you want from me? You are in such a hurry."

"Of course I need your help!" Xiao said with a smile again, showing some of the childishness shown physically by a 17-year-old who has not retreated, handsome and energetic.

"What's the matter?" Mi Wenyan, with a calm and mature smile, his slightly haggard face due to illness couldn't cover up his handsome face, "How can I help?"

"You'll know when we get there!" Xiao squinted his eyes and pretended to be mysterious with a smile, taking figure-of-foot steps and leading Mi to walk in one direction.

"This is..." Mi stood in front of an apparently new western-style multi-storey villa in confusion.

"Hey, looks good!" Xiao Xiao smiled triumphantly, "I just bought it! From now on, this will be the home of Hongdou and me!"

"Did you find the money?!" Seeing this scene, Mi slightly frowned, and looked suspiciously at the excited Xiao.

"Hey! Even if I'm a little lower than you, you don't have to be so suspicious of my ability to make money, right?!" Xiao Wenyan stared at Mi in displeasure.

"Oh." Mi raised her eyebrows, shrugged and said indifferently.

"What is 'oh'?!" Mi frowned, "What kind of attitude is that?!"

"You mean—" Looking at the wall brush that Xiao forcibly stuffed in his hand, Mi felt a little embarrassed, "Let me help you paint the walls of the newly bought house together?!"

"Well, it seems that you listened to me just now." Wearing a disposable mask, Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the paint bucket in his hand, and said energetically: "Okay, come on!"

"Why don't you find a decoration company." Mi held back for a long time, and finally said something.

"You have to do your own thing!" Xiao squatted down and began to adjust the paint color, "What's the point of asking outsiders?!"

"Then you still looking for me?!" Mi's eyes began to twitch.

"You are not an outsider!" Xiao replied quite naturally, "We have been friends for several years."

"Why are you only looking for me..." Mi continued to twitch.

"I went to see Bai Fang too." Xiao shrugged, and suddenly became filled with righteous indignation, "That impolite guy! He threw me out directly?!...Cut, what should I say, it's the same in Anbu A small team... What's so great about the captain?! Sooner or later, I will be the head of Anbu!"

"If I had known...I would have thrown you..." Thinking of this, Mi still sighed. After putting on the mask, she resigned herself to squatting down to help Xiao color the color together, and said lukewarmly: "You Think about it slowly..."

"What do you mean?!" Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"It's not interesting." Mi didn't even bother to look at Xiao.

"However, let's talk about it." Unhurriedly brushing the wall, Mi said, "Why did you think of buying a new house?"

"Ah, it was because of a whim—ah, hey, why don't I answer you properly?! Don't go!" Xiao stepped forward and grabbed Mi, who immediately put down the paint bucket and turned to leave after hearing her unserious answer. , keep the road.

"Then tell me." Mi nodded, turned around and picked up the paint bucket and began to paint, ignoring Xiao who was behind him with black lines on his face, and said without any disturbance.

"Cut... because the colors in that house were too monotonous." Xiaoya turned around and continued to paint the walls, and the reason for moving came from under the mask, "My irresponsible brother and sister-in-law are really too! Now that we are ready Having a child, when you bought a house, why did you paint all the walls in white so simply, and the furniture you bought were all brown and red... I can’t stand it!"

"Isn't ordinary homes decorated like this?" Mi looked back at Xiao indignantly for no reason.

"That doesn't work either!" Xiao put down the brush, "Children are only interested in brighter colors! Besides, Hongdou will soon be able to recognize colors...I don't want her to have only two colors in her childhood." ! I will make her world colorful!"

==

"Yeah, it needs to be colorful." Mi looked up at the white walls all around and sighed.

He remembered that after hearing Xiao's words, he once laughed at him, saying: "If it is colorful, is it still home?" !Wouldn't it become a dye workshop? ! '

But Xiao replied: "As long as Hongdou and I are together, it is home!" '

That’s right, as long as there are relatives around, it’s home...

"Mitarai Shaya, don't you feel bad for saying that kind of thing?" Mi looked at the red bean who had been sleeping on the bed, and slowly said to the air, "Now you have left the red bean and left...you have let me Hongdou has lost her home."

"Moonlight?" At this time, a woman's voice came from the door, "So you are here."

Mi heard the sound and turned around, only to see Quanzhu in a black deadly costume standing at the door of the ward, holding something in his hand.

"Ah, Xiaoyemu." Mi raised his hand to greet Quanzhu, and smiled faintly, "Are you coming to see Hongdou too?"

"En." Quanzhu nodded, walked to Hongdou's hospital bed, sat down, "I'll bring this to her."

Saying that, Quan Zhu put the thing in his hand beside Hong Dou's frowning face, which was frowning uncomfortably even in a dream.

Mi heard the words, looked up, but found that what Quan Zhu put down was the fox mask that Xiao used when he was in Anbu.At the same time, Mi also noticed that Hongdou's expression was much more peaceful in her sleep.

Looking at Hongdou's peaceful sleeping face, Quanzhu finally sighed, and supported his forehead, recalling the scene about one day and two hours ago:

==

When Izumi carried the sleeping red beans and followed the spiritual power left on Kakashi's body to the place where Xiao and the others were, he was shocked to find Xiao lying in a pool of blood... and seemed to have lost consciousness, Kakashi being held by another Anbu member.

When Quanzhu saw it, he almost went crazy, and he was about to rush to the Anbu member who was holding Kakashi without thinking about anything, but suddenly heard Xiao who was in a pool of blood speak.

"Xiao Yemu..." Xiao's tone was weak, but still maintained a cynical tone, "Xiao Baiya is fine! It's just that he lost a lot of blood and passed out... I've already given the blood-enriching pill."

"Ah, that's right." Quanzhu let go of his heart that fell in mid-air when he heard it, and turned to look at Xiao, "Then...you..."

"Me?" Xiao said with a smile in his tone, "I'm dead."

"..." Quanzhu became very uneasy when he heard Xiao's short and very light tone, but immediately expressed his distrust, "Hey, there is no need to joke anymore!"

"Hey..." Xiao smiled, raised his hand with great difficulty, and took off the fox mask, revealing a handsome but pale face, "Hey, Xiao Yemu, can you bring Hongdou here? I want to see her Let's go."

"...Your niece, can I not let you see it?!" Ignoring Xiaoxiao's last words of "going again", Quan Zhu walked over with Hongdou in his arms, knelt down and put the red bean beside Xiao, Take two steps back.

"Hee hee... the little girl's life is much tougher than mine." Stretching out her hand to test Hongdou's breath, Xiao grinned palely, "Well, in this way, I won't be hunted down by my brother and sister-in-law for a while. Now... Hey, Sayoki, can I ask you something?"

"What?" Quanzhu heard the words, stepped forward, and asked while kneeling on one knee.

"This mask..." Xiao didn't have the strength to raise his hand anymore, so he naturally couldn't lift up the fox mask he just took off in his hand, so he could only lower his eyes and look over, "When Hongdou saw it before, she would always look at it I'm going to play, but I never promised... This time, it seems that if I don't give it to her, there will be no chance... Can you help me give it to her?"

"My God, you are half dead, and you can still talk so much." Quan Zhu picked up the mask and sighed.

"Because Hongdou is here." Xiao smiled again, "With relatives... I will have strength..."

"Well, then your strength is really easy to come by." After hearing Xiao's words, Quanzhu's heart twitched, and he immediately adjusted his mood and began to tease the dying Xiao.

"Hey, I paid it off...Little Baiya." Xiao Hearing said, he reluctantly raised his eyes to look at Quan Zhu, "I'm just sorry, but I have to ask you to pass on the mask to me... I can't repay this favor. "

As soon as Izumi Zhu heard it, he immediately reflected, and looked back at Kakashi who was holding in the hands of Anbu, and realized that Kakashi's life was saved by Isamu, and what Isaac called "paying off" means He pointed out that he brought the red beans back safely.

"...You." Feelings of gratitude surged into Izumi Zhu's heart immediately, but when he turned around, he found that Xiao had already 'slept' peacefully, "Hey! Zi Xiao! Mitarai Xiao..."

Trembling, Quan Zhu stretched out his hand under Xiao's nose and probed, closed his eyes with impatience, then picked up the red beans, stood up, and said the last word to Xiao before leaving: "Okay, let's go!" deliver……"

Turning around, after hearing Xiao's corpse spontaneously combusting behind him, Quan Zhu clenched his teeth, unwilling to look back.

This is the fate of Konoha Anbe...'If you live to see people, you will die without leaving a corpse'.

==

"I heard that you are going to adopt Hongdou?" After recalling, Quanzhu lowered his head and spoke.

"Yeah. I don't want to adopt, who will adopt?!" Mi smiled lightly, "That guy Xiao... always complains about how irresponsible his brother and sister-in-law are. I don't think he is much better himself. .”

"Then I'll trouble you." Quan Zhu said, stood up, walked to Mi, and patted his shoulder, "I still have some things to do, so I'm leaving first."

After finishing speaking, Quan Zhu walked out of the ward, but said a word before leaving, which shocked Jiang Mi.

——"The paint in this ward is too white. Tell Minato later, it's best to allocate some funds to repaint the walls of the hospital...to make it colorful."

In the 46th year of Konoha, Anbu Minister Mitarai Sho, died in the line of duty while chasing down the treacherous ninja Orochimaru.Died at the age of 27.
