[Hokage] Long Night Shimmer

Time is the best medicine.

All the pain and longing gradually fade away with the passage of time, but it is not really forgotten, it is just hidden in the bottom of my heart and will not be told anymore.

More than half a year has passed, and Nohara Lin's whereabouts are still unknown, like searching for a needle in a haystack, in vain.The Konoha ninja sent out to look for it was recalled helplessly, and the matter was over.

But Kakashi didn't give up.

It took him a long time to get out of the shadow of Lin and Obito. After Namikaze Minato took office, Kakashi entered Anbu, and occasionally inquired about Lin's whereabouts during missions, although he couldn't get it every time. What useful information, but he didn't stop there, and even Minato secretly acquiesced to his approach.

"If a person is still alive, it is impossible not to find out any news."

Kakashi shook his head: "I believe Lin is still alive, but I didn't find it..."

"........."

Mao was silent, knowing that he couldn't make sense of him, he helped his forehead and sighed: "I also believe that she is still alive, it's just Kakashi... don't you think you are too persistent?"

"What do you mean."

"I mean—" She took a deep breath, "Try to forget about Lin, don't let her affect your life too much. Since Konoha's search efforts are all in vain, maybe the other party has never been found. mean."

"I know this will be cruel to you, but, Kakashi, you and us...you are not alone."

"........."

Kakashi opened his mouth, and said dejectedly: "Of course I know, the purpose of the teacher letting me into Anbu is to let me let go, but how can I let go?"

Yes, everyone understands this truth, but it is really too difficult to let go completely.

Mao took a deep look at him and lowered his eyes.

"I don't persuade you, and I'm not qualified to persuade you, you...you can do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he put down his exhausted teacup and walked away with his hands behind his back.

After that conversation, Kakashi seemed to have really figured it out, and he was no longer as persistent as before. Except for the mission to compete with Maitekai, the days passed like this.

But exactly how only he knows.

Minato was very pleased with Kakashi's change, and even chatted with Mao several times, but she was impatient and perfunctory every time, thinking that this person still has the time to argue with her, it seems that Hokage's affairs are not enough He was busy, so he kindly sent him a few documents related to the clan, and successfully shut the mouth of this person.

It's just that every time I go to Huoyinglou, the other party looks at me with a bit of resentment.

Regarding this, Mao felt no wavering in his heart and even wanted to laugh.

One must know that she doesn't have that much time. Some time ago, she was in a hurry because of Meiqin's second child giving birth. Now that her nephew is born, she has to find time to visit the hospital after work, so she has no time to take care of her little friend's fragile heart.

Speaking of which, in a few months, Kushina will give birth, right?

so good...

Mao raised her eyebrows and thought about it, before she knew it, she had arrived at the gate of the ninja school, surrounded by many parents who came to pick up their children, and she was quite out of place among them, attracting scrutiny or curiosity from those around her.

After all, whether it is the achievements on the battlefield or the joint competition for the position of the fourth generation of Naruto, these things are really famous. In addition, she herself does not seem to be as difficult to get close as other Uchihas. Some ninjas who recognize her are bold Step up and say hello.

Mao recognized one or two of them as ninjas who had been under his command before. When he saw her, his expression was both surprise and reverence, and he chatted with her familiarly.

"Captain, why are you here, are you passing by?"

"No, I'm here to pick up my elder brother's child from school... Ah, he's here." She turned her head and saw Xiao Uchiha coming out of the teaching building, and then raised her hand and waved, "Itachi, this way. "

"Little sister!"

Uchiha Itachi raised his head, with a look of joy on his expressionless face, he quickened his pace and trotted to the front, his soft hair was caught off guard.

Feeling the touch of the top of the child's hair, Mao said to the people next to him: "That's it, I'll go first."

Saying that, she bid farewell to the other party, took Itachi's hand and hurriedly left the crowd.

At this time, Itachi raised his face: "Why do you have time to pick me up today?"

Since he entered the Ninja School, he has been going home alone. His father is busy with family affairs, and his mother is pregnant and can't walk around at will. Both of them have to be busy with their own things without distracting him.Compared with his father, he still likes this gentle and introverted sister-in-law better, and Mao Itachi never expected Mao to come to the ninja school to wait for him.

After all, he is still a child, longing to be closer to his family. Although he doesn't say anything, no one can resist the expectant eyes.

So she still likes sensible and obedient children.

Mao couldn't hold back and patted his head affectionately: "By the way, I'll take you to see my brother."

"And Mom."

She froze for a moment, then said with a smile, "Yes, and mother...let's visit her together."

Itachi nodded obediently.

"it is good."

Because she was a ninja in the past, Miqin's physical fitness is very good. After more than a month of recuperation in the hospital, she was discharged from the hospital and returned to a normal life.

So Uchiha Itachi, who was successfully promoted to elder brother, had an extra task of taking care of his younger brother, and she felt ashamed of her skillful technique.Thinking of his elder brother who also took the responsibility of raising her when he was very young, Mao felt awe for a moment.

Sure enough, he was indeed his brother's child.

In recent days, Kushina Uzumaki's delivery date is approaching. As a Jinchuriki, she is the weakest during the delivery period, so the patrolling of the guards has become more cautious.

The night is dark and windy, and the moon is in the sky.

Mao Uchiha was at the back of the team, staring in a certain direction, feeling uneasy for no reason.

"Mao, what are you looking at?"

Seeing her stop, Fuyue followed her line of sight suspiciously but didn't see why.

She looked back and shook her head: "It's nothing...Sorry, I was distracted."

Although he was a little worried in his heart, Fuyue still said with a straight face: "You must concentrate during working hours, and keep up quickly. This is not an example."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, Mao quickly followed the team, cheering up and continuing the unfinished inspection.

In the distance, an uninvited visitor appeared in the village. The visitor was dressed in a black robe and a tiger-striped mask, and only his right eye was exposed.

He stretched out his hand and pressed his palm on the ground.

"The art of psychic!"

boom--

Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded from somewhere in Konoha, especially loud in the silent night, awakening thousands of sleeping people.Grass and trees fluttered, rocks smashed into the air, and a huge monster suddenly appeared in the center of the thick smoke.

The moment she heard the movement, Mao suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound source, and then the piercing neighing of beasts resounded through the sky, causing her to subconsciously frown.

"It's Nine Tails..."

How did the nine tails escape?Could it be that something happened to Jiu Xinnai? !

That Kushina...!

Thinking of this, she couldn't stay any longer, and just as she was about to leave, she saw a masked Anbu ninja descending from the sky, half kneeling in front of the patriarch Fu Yue.

"Uchiha patriarch, Kyuubi has escaped from the seal, the superior ordered Uchiha not to approach the center of the battlefield, and please evacuate the crowd as soon as possible."

Anbu's tone was cold, with a business-like look, Mao pursed his lips and stared at this person, displeased: "Is it Hokage's order?"

Hearing this question, Anbu paused slightly, and then replied: "Yes."

"...I understand."

As if not aware of her displeasure, the figure quickly disappeared in place after Anbu informed her.

"You..." Fu Yue noticed that her complexion was not very good.

Mao quickly interrupted him: "That person just now is not Anbu."

"What?" Fu Yue was stunned.

"If it was Minato, he couldn't have kept me on standby, so I guess that person is the root person. It must not be an accident that Kyuubi broke the seal this time, and it may have something to do with Uchiha."

Otherwise, the superior would not have issued such an order.

Kushina gave birth outside the village, but Kyuubi was in the village at this time, obviously being controlled by someone.And being able to control Nine Tails to cause this disaster, she was also the first to think of Uchiha.

"Brother, the situation is urgent, I'm going to Jiuwei's side."

Uchiha's situation had just started to improve, and then such a thing happened. If she guessed right, everything she had put in would be in vain after the matter was over, and she couldn't just sit idly by.

Since both left and right are suspected, it's better to take a gamble!

Hearing this decision, Fu Yue was not surprised, he looked at Mao firmly, his expression suddenly serious.

"Have you considered?"

"I've made up my mind. Now that the water gate is not here, I am the only one in the village who has the ability to fight against the tailed beast. Whether it is public or private, I must go this trip, even if I violate the order."

The other party's eyes were determined, obviously making a plan.

Knowing the little girl's stubborn character, Fuyue sighed secretly in his heart, and finally let go: "I see, you can do whatever you want, with my backing, don't worry."

His expression was gentle, not as cold and hard as before, and standing in front of her was no longer the Uchiha patriarch, but an elder brother who tolerated his sister infinitely.

Mao closed his eyes to dispel the tide in his eyes, nodded heavily at Fu Yue, and then rushed to the chaotic place.
