[Hokage] Long Night Shimmer

"Itachi, why is your expression so serious, what's on your mind?"

Seeing the bitter and bitter look on the little deputy's face, Minato Namikaze tapped the pen on the table upside down, assuming a posture of listening attentively.

Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask such a question, and then nodded slowly.He looked down at the document in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Master Hokage, sister-in-law came to Konoha a few days ago."

"Um... so what?"

"Did you know about it?"

"Yes, her sudden visit surprised me too." Minato propped her face and looked at him with a smile.

Seeing that he was clearly teasing him, Itachi hesitated to speak, wondering if he should ask that sentence.But the identity of the person in front of him is Hokage, if the other party can't answer, then I really don't know who to ask.

Itachi pursed her lips: "Auntie... can she come back in the future?"

Carrying the identity of a traitor, working for that kind of organization, after everything is over, can you return to Konoha as if nothing happened?

Even if people from Konoha agree, will people from other countries be willing?

Thinking of his father hearing that she was back, he was surprised but also a little bit happy, Uchiha Itachi felt powerless for a while.

He couldn't imagine what the future would be like.

"........."

Aware of the deep meaning in these words, Minato fell silent, and he withdrew his smile, his expression was dignified and complicated, with a hint of guilt mixed in.

"I can't give you a positive answer, but I will do my best to help her. And you have to know that when she decided to make this choice, she had already prepared for the worst. I have stopped , but failed."

Speaking of this, Minato smiled sadly: "Even if such a person returns to Konoha in the end, it is her own choice, not us choosing her. No one can influence her decision, and no one can hold her back Steps...this is Mao Uchiha."

"........."

"What kind of person do you think Mao Uchiha is?"

After sighing, the topic was thrown to Itachi. The young man pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "Sister, she is a person who can do whatever she wants and is not restrained..."

At the age of four, when he was still young, he met for the first time another relative who only lived in the dialogue between his parents——his father's sister, his aunt by blood.

The man came pacing from the periphery of the battlefield amidst the exclamation of the crowd, carrying the murderous aura that had not dissipated.When people see her, they will be overwhelmed by the astonishing aura at first sight, and then they will notice the appearance of the other party who is almost incompatible with the aura around her.

——Sister-in-law doesn't seem to be as scary as outsiders say.

This is Uchiha Itachi's first impression of Uchiha Mao.

But getting along with each other in the next few years made him realize that his sister-in-law should be even more unfathomable than he imagined, and those eyes that seemed to have experienced years of precipitation often looked at them as if they wanted to see through people's thoughts. Unbearable thoughts will be invisible in those eyes.

Later, he only saw similar eyes on the retired elders of the clan.

His father once said to him in private: "If Mao wants to be the patriarch, no one in the clan can compete with her, not even me."

Itachi takes such an evaluation seriously.

And the person whose face is changed by outsiders is just a kind elder in front of him, she will patiently teach herself ninjutsu, and will take him out to relax when she is in a bad mood, in places where her parents don't care Always show up in time to answer his questions.

Such days run through his entire childhood, and they are also an extremely precious memory for him.

Mao Uchiha in his mind is extremely talented, more reliable than anyone else, stronger than anyone else, and gentler than anyone else.

It is an insurmountable mountain in front of his life, and it is also a guiding light to dispel the fog ahead of him.

At the end of the month, early spring is approaching.

The cherry blossom trees by the lake stand sideways or leaning among the numerous petals. The wind gently brushes across the branches, bringing down a rain of cherry blossoms, which dance freely in the air and are fleeting.

The Zhu Nan team passed through the Kingdom of Flowers on their way back from their mission, so they stopped here to rest.It just so happened that the Cherry Blossom Festival was held here, and there were mixed people, and it was not very noticeable for them to be mixed in.

The woman stopped and watched under the tree, letting the petals blow down on the top of her head but didn't care, she only frowned and remained silent as if caught in some bad memories.

"Do you like cherry blossom viewing? You've been standing here for a long time."

Loquat Shizang came from behind, stopped beside her, raised his hand to brush the cherry blossoms on her hair, and sighed in his heart that the other party was not much younger than himself, but in some respects he had a different childish temper, That little girl Lin was right.

When the broken flowers on the hair were scattered, Uchiha Mao seemed to have come to his senses and noticed his problem, and shook his head lightly: "No, I don't like it at all."

Aware of Juzang's momentary shock, she thought for a while and walked away without explaining anything.

The two stayed in the country of flowers for one night, and set off early the next morning.

It was she who said she was resting in the country of flowers, and she was the one who left in a hurry after only staying for one night.

Mao smiled lightly, no longer thinking about those troublesome things.

"Let's go, let's go find Lin."

Nohara Rin is helping in a small medical clinic on the border between the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Country of Fire. The border of the country is doomed to be a mixed bag. Langren or some rebels will seek treatment in these unaffiliated medical clinics. It is inevitable that all kinds of people will come and go here. will reveal some information.

What outsiders don't know is that the boss of this medical clinic looks powerless on the surface, but in fact his ancestors are from the Qianshou family.

The father's generation is a side branch. In the early years, he was ordered to leave the village to set up a stronghold outside to collect information. This medical center is a product left over from the mission. Now it is taken over by his son, so he has been staying outside the village, constantly passing on for Konoha Information or take in Konoha ninjas passing by.

Before leaving the village, Uchiha Mao knew about Konoha's hidden intelligence base. It happened that this was another medical center, so he arranged the little girl here, which was also reassuring.

Mao asked Shizang to leave first, and then he would send a letter to inform him, while he entered the medical hall alone, nodded slightly to the boss sitting at the front desk, and then went straight to the inner room, and what he saw in his eyes was Nohara Rin who was helping to process the medicinal materials .

"Lin—" As soon as she entered the door, she felt a strange sense of discord in the room, and her raised hand stagnated in the air.Uchiha Mao frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Has anyone been here?"

Lin continued the actions of her subordinates, and didn't want to hide it, so she blurted out: "A Fei came to chat with me just now, and brought me some meatballs, do you want to eat, senior?"

Saying that, she reached out and took out a bunch from the oil paper bag on the table, and handed it to Mao.

"......thanks."

Looking at the glutinous rice balls, which were so delicious at first glance, Mao watched silently for a long time before taking them, biting the morning without any fluctuations in his heart.

During this period of time, the masked man ran over to help Lin when he had nothing to do, and was occasionally bumped into by her a few times, and then hurriedly said goodbye and ran faster than a rabbit. I really don't know when they hit the line.

And Lin's attitude is also very strange, as if she is aware of something and doesn't know anything, she gets along with the masked man very naturally.

Mao, who had some vague guesses about the real identity of the masked man, didn't comment on it, and didn't need to ask them what was going on. As long as the other party didn't act like a monster, she could pretend that she didn't know anything for the time being.

She solved a bunch of meatballs in twos and twos, and clapped her hands: "Lin, I'm going to meet an old friend, you come with me."

Lin was also cleaning up. Hearing this sentence, she was not curious about who she was looking for. The other party would definitely not hurt herself, so she raised her head and asked casually, "Okay, where are you going?"

"Go to the land of fire."

"Big! Big! Big!—Damn! Why small!"

The woman slammed her fist on the table angrily, and watched the croupier push the money to the other side through gritted teeth.There is nothing she can do if she is not convinced, the money just now is the last money she has on her, and thinking of the pile of debts chasing behind her back, she has no choice but to give up resentfully.

"I'm not playing anymore, let's go!" She glared at the croupier who was calm on the surface but his hands were trembling, and left the casino cursing.

The woman casually walked down the street, rubbed her hungry stomach with her hands, and thought about going back to the hotel to wait for Jing Yin to cook, but her eyes kept glancing at the shops on the street.Smelling all kinds of tangy aromas wafting from inside, I felt even hungrier for a while.

When passing by a restaurant, the woman stopped in front of the store just like that.Suddenly, she turned on her toes, moved to the window and lifted the curtain, and suddenly faced a familiar face that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Seeing that he was finally discovered, Mao Uchiha propped his face and greeted her with a smile.

"Hi Tsunade, long time no see."

The author has something to say:

It's another chapter, enough baa nasai, after seeing Tsunade, I'm going to write the Chunin exam next, you know the Shura field.

It's the end of the month, is there any nutrient solution for feeding?
