[Hokage] Dark Flower

Naruto and Sasuke walked out of Sakura's house, shoulder to shoulder.

"Thank you, Auntie, the dinner is delicious!" Naruto waved his hand and smiled extremely happily. Today, Sakura invited him and Sasuke to eat at home. Auntie Haruno's food is really delicious, with a taste of home.

Sasuke nodded at Sakura with a relaxed expression, "We're going back."

Then he pulled Naruto, and the two left Sakura's house.

Xiao Ying stood at the door of the house, watching the backs of the two leaving, and felt the wordless loneliness.

Suddenly, a big hand patted on the shoulder.

Sakura turned around, "Father?"

"Your partners are all very strong!" Sakura's father is a man in his 40s. He is only a Chunin, but he has survived to this day without any injuries. This is enough for him to be proud.

Sakura lowered her head, "Yes, they are all very strong!"

"Does Sakura want to chase her up?"

"Of course I want to!" Sakura blurted out, but then she said dejectedly, "But...don't mention Sasuke, even Naruto is very powerful!"

During the Zhongnin exam, she hid behind, in name to appease and take care of the innocent spectators, but in fact, it was because she couldn't intervene in the high-intensity battle. She watched Naruto shine and become a little monster general The opponent's tanuki flew away, and she watched Sasuke help Kakashi-sensei to defeat the incoming Sand Ninja and Otonin from time to time, but she could only hide behind and tremble, unable to do anything.

"Not every ninja is strong from the beginning." Haruno Sakura's father rubbed his daughter's hair and smiled brightly, "The strong men you see undoubtedly have a reason to become stronger, and this reason is always Whip them all the time and keep them fighting."

"Sakura, tell me, why do you want to be a ninja?"

"...I am Konoha's child, my father's child, of course I am a ninja!" Haruno Sakura didn't seem to expect her father to ask such a question, she blurted out without thinking, "Shouldn't I be a ninja?"

"Of course not!" Haruno's father sighed, "Sakura, you are already a ninja, so do you have any goals or ideals?"

Haruno Sakura pursed her lips, and said word for word after a while, "I...I don't want to encounter such a battle next time. I can only stand behind and watch them, but I can't do anything!!"

Haruno's father showed a satisfied smile, "Then you have to think carefully about what they need and what you can do. Once you have determined your goal, think about how to do it."

Haruno Sakura stared blankly at her father, all kinds of thoughts were churning in her heart, almost jumping out of her chest.

"I believe in Sakura, she can do it!!"

Haruno Sakura took a deep breath, her eyes became firm, she nodded heavily, "I got it!!"

Walking on the road, Sasuke asked casually, "Aunt Uzumaki hasn't come back yet?"

Naruto shook his head, a gloomy flash of light flashed in his sky blue eyes, "Mom has been out for almost two months..."

"Why don't you go ask Lord Gokage?" Sasuke came up with a bad idea, "Maybe Lord Gokage will tell you as soon as he's happy!"

Naruto pursed his lips and said after a while, "I guess I will leave the village tomorrow."

Sasuke was taken aback, "You want to go out too?!"

"Well, the teacher who taught me before said that he would take me out to practice."

Sasuke was a little envious when he heard the words, "It's great! You can go out of the village to practice!"

Naruto curled his lips, "Although I like Toad Immortal's works very much, but... isn't he a novelist? Can he really guide me in my practice?"

"Didn't you learn spiritism from him?" Thinking about his eggs, and looking at Naruto's big toad, Sasuke felt envious and jealous.

Naruto shrugged, "It's just to sign a name on the scroll and use five seals. It's easy to learn, and you won't learn it right away!"

Sasuke was dumbfounded. Indeed, spiritism is not difficult. You only need a scroll and five seals, and you can learn it immediately. The only trouble is that spiritism requires a lot of chakra, which is fatal to Uchiha. of.

"If you don't want to go, you can refuse!"

"...But Kakashi-sensei told me that it's best to go out with Toad Sensei." Naruto said in a tangled voice, "He said that Toad Sensei has a higher seniority than him. Think about it, if I don't go out with Toad Sensei, Kakashi What should I do if Teacher Casey doesn’t teach me anymore?”

Sasuke said impatiently, "What are you trying to say?"

Naruto blinked, and looked at Sasuke expectantly, "Hey, Sasuke, you go out to practice with me!"

Sasuke sneered, "Stop making trouble with Naruto, that Toad Immortal is going to teach you, not me!" After a pause, he continued, "Besides, I have to stay at home to help my brother. Some shops and yards in the clan area have been destroyed, I am busy!"

Naruto looked at Sasuke in disappointment, "... Is our seventh class torn apart like this?"

The corner of Sasuke's mouth twitched, "It's still the same sentence, if you don't want to go, just go to Lord Wudai!"

Naruto clenched his fists, "You're right."

He patted Sasuke on the shoulder, "Thanks!"

Sasuke waved his hand, "It's okay~"

Naruto held Sasuke's hand, "Then you can help to the end, come with me!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sasuke to answer, he suddenly pulled Sasuke up and ran!

Sasuke staggered and almost fell, he was so angry, "Let go!!"

"I won't let it go!!" Naruto laughed loudly, exerting all his strength, Chakra flashed, and the next second, he took Sasuke and leaped into the air, stepping on the roof of someone else's house.

Before Sasuke came back to his senses and found a support point, Naruto pulled him into the air in the next second, and with just a few swishes, the two of them had already landed in front of Hokage.

Sasuke's face was livid, and he desperately wanted to pull out his hand, "Go by yourself!!"

Naruto looked at Sasuke sadly, "Sasuke, are you going to abandon me and let me go up alone?"

"Master Wudai is very kind, you went alone and didn't ask!"

"Oh, that's what you said."

"Enn, you go!"

"Since you have said that you are kind, let's go together!"

"Nani!!?"

"Am I so scary?" Xia Chuanyu sat behind the table, listening to the noise of the two small animals below, put down his pen speechlessly, and stopped correcting the document. He picked up the beef offal soup brought by Uchiha Shinichi next to him, He drank it in a big gulp.

Tornado rubbed his temples, working overtime for several days made his head noisy, "How about I ask someone to take them away?"

Xia Chuanyu sucked the vermicelli, and Uchiha Shin, who was sitting on the side, brought over a bowl of torn sesame cakes, Xia Chuanyu took it and poured it into the bowl, and said while eating, "Forget it, let them come up, listen What's the matter?"

Tornado nodded, put down the scroll in his hand, got up and walked out.

Xia Chuan Yu Chong Uchiha Shin said, "Sasuke is afraid of me?"

Uchiha Shinichi smiled, he shook his head, looked at Natsukawa Yu, and said softly, "Even if the most powerful lion in the lion pride is yawning, that kind of silent majesty will make the nearby cubs shudder."

Xia Chuanyu almost choked when he heard the words, he shook his head, "You are exaggerating."

Uchiha Shinichi said lightly, "I'm not exaggerating, Captain. In fact, they are just in awe of you, happy and proud of your praise, frustrated and sad by your disappointment, so... just a little scared."

Xia Chuanyu thought for a while, "In other words, they care about my opinion?"

"Well, you are right."

As the two were talking, the tornado had brought Sasuke and Naruto up.

Seeing his uncle sitting aside, Sasuke let out a sigh of relief. He looked calmer, but Naruto, who was usually carefree, became a little awkward.

"What's the matter?" Xia Chuanyu put down the bowl and looked at the two little guys in front of him.

Sasuke coughed and glared at Naruto, "Hurry up!!"

"Well, Lord Wudai..." Naruto said in a hesitant voice, "I want to ask, when will mother come back?"

Xia Chuanyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. He pondered for a while, "I'm afraid it will take some time. Your mother's task is very important. I can only tell you that she is fine now, so don't worry."

Naruto seemed to be relieved, he patted his chest, "It's good that mom is fine."

Then he said again, "Master Wudai, tomorrow I am going out of the village to practice, what if my mother comes back and I am not here, what should I do..."

Xia Chuanyu raised his eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, "It's okay, I will let you know."

Naruto drooped his head, looking frustrated.

Xia Chuanyu sighed, "Okay, just tell me, what do you want to do?"

Naruto looked at his toes, took a deep breath, remembered what his father said, and said vigorously, "Master Wudai, I, I want to learn gymnastics from you!!"

Sasuke was stunned, he opened his mouth wide, looked at Naruto suddenly, and then shook his head desperately under Uchiha Shinichi's murderous gaze.

He really didn't know at first! !

Xia Chuanyu pressed Uchiha Shinichi's hand and patted it comfortingly. He looked at Naruto firmly and said softly, "Why do you say that?"

"...Father said."

Tornado and Uchiha Shinichi gasped at the same time after hearing this, Lord Four?

Xia Chuanyu's expression became complicated, "Really? It was the fourth generation who told you?"

"...Dad said, I have a lot of chakra, and I can learn some ninjutsu, but one day... one day, the nine lamas will leave, and by then, I am afraid that there will be nothing left of my strength. Already." Naruto scratched his head embarrassingly, and said dryly, "Dad said that I am the kind of person who can't calm down. Walking skills improve faster than ninjutsu. As for illusion..."

He had a horrible look on his face, "I don't have extravagant hopes for illusion."

Xia Chuanyu said leisurely, "...We are ninjas, and ninjutsu is a must."

Naruto raised his head suddenly, and said loudly, "But walking on the path of the strong is not just about ninjutsu!!"

"...Who told you this sentence?"

Naruto said embarrassedly, "I thought of it myself."

Xia Chuanyu looked at Naruto with subtle eyes, "You thought about it yourself?"

"Uh, mom's sealing technique is also very powerful, otherwise how could dad survive? Dad also said that the five generations of adults are better at physical and sword skills, and can also defeat tailed beasts... Even if I have nine lamas, But if you want to defeat Gaara, you also need the help of the big toad..."

"So, so I think there should be many paths to become stronger, I... I just want to choose the one that suits me best."

Speaking of this, Naruto looked at Xia Chuanyu expectantly, "Master Wudai, can you give me a chance?!"
