"Sure enough, in the New Year, there are a lot more familiar faces in Konoha. 』

On the way home, Mizuki had already greeted several people who had passed by. It seems that people who are usually rare to see can get together, but no, there are mountain castles Aoba and Shiranui Genma in front of them.

"Mizuki, long time no see!" Yamashiro Aoba greeted Mizuki from afar.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, and I've been too busy lately. ”

"I've heard, the middle ninja exam, we're about to be driven crazy by Tsunade-sama, and there are endless tasks. Saying that, Yamashiro Aoba also showed an exaggerated expression.

Mizuki replied with a smile, "You're going to tell such a bad joke too?" I thought only Hurricle would do such a thing. What are you and Genma going to do?"

"Let's have a drink with Ebisu and Nakazo!"

"You're going to drink? I went to Takishinobi Village, I froze half to death, and I just came back today!"

"Oh, so you're free now, do you want to go and have a drink with you?"

"No, I'm going home first. Mizuki said refused.

"I almost forgot, you're not like us, you're a family man. ”

Yamashiro Aoba's pretentious expression made Shiranui Genma and Mizuki both smile.

"Next time, I've been away from home a lot lately, so I'm going to spend more time with Tsubaki, I'm sorry. ”

"Understood. This time, we are just a bitter exchange between like-minded people. Yamashiro Aoba lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I, Genma, and Ray Tong will be the leading teacher next year to teach the newly graduated Shinobi, so I want to talk to Ebisu, an experienced teacher!"

"Then you'll have to be busy in the future. ”

In particular, upper ninja is also upper ninja, and it is not a problem to teach the abilities and qualifications of new shinobi people.

"Yes," Yamashiro Aoba sighed and said, "Don't talk about it, let's talk about it later, the appointed time is almost up." ”

Saying goodbye to Yamashiro Aoba and Shiranui Genma, Mizuki sped up his journey home.

"I always feel that the idle Yamashiro Aoba character is becoming more and more broken, and the facial expressions are much more exaggerated than before, could it be said that it is also influenced by me?"

……

When Mizuki got home, it was still early, and Tsubaki was staying at home, and unexpectedly, Tsubaki was not only alone at home, but also Xianglin, and when Mizuki pushed the door in, the two were cooking dinner.

"Mizuki-senpai, are you back?"

"It's Xianglian, I haven't seen him for a while, and he seems to have grown a lot taller!"

Mizuki said as he walked into the back room and put away the things he was carrying.

"I came back just in time, and it was almost time to eat. Is the mission going well?"

"It's quite ordinary, nothing special, it's just too far away, it's just a waste of time!" Mizuki turned around and walked into the bathroom, took a simple shower, changed into clean clothes, and then prepared to eat.

The three of them sat at the same table to eat, once or twice before, but this time, Xiang Lian was not as reserved as before.

Tsubaki smiled and said, "Mizuki, when you're not there, Xiang Ryu also occasionally comes over to talk to me, but it doesn't seem boring, by the way, your disciple Sakura has also come twice, but you are not there." ”

"Sakura-chan, it shouldn't be a big problem, there should be my clone in the flower shop, and any trouble should be solved. ”

Sakura should have a difficult problem in her cultivation that needs to be solved, after all, the technique given to her by Mizuki is not so easy to master.

In comparison, the red-haired eye-catching Xiang Lian has come a lot more often. Although the relationship with Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka is not bad, it is impossible for the lonely Xiangren to always go to their house to disturb them. There is also a home that takes great care of Xianglian's silence, and it is also a very good place, but as the assistant of the fifth generation of Hokage, she has too many things to do, and she doesn't have much time to take care of this little sister.

Therefore, Xiaochun, who has been together for a long time and is familiar with each other, is the most suitable for people who often come to nag with Xianglian. Just like the last time I met in the hospital, I came to Mizuki's house to help out when I had time. And when Tsubaki is bored, it's also a good thing to have someone to get along with.

"Xianglian, it's really a lot more cheerful!"

At the dinner table, Mizuki and Tsubaki ate quietly, but it was the originally timid Xianglin who began to chatter about the interesting things in her work, the satisfaction of reaping gratitude after using medical ninjutsu to help others, and the joy of being needed and feeling that she began to merge into Konoha was vividly displayed on her smiling face.

Mizuki looked at the red-haired little girl's gradual appearance of the temperament of a child of this age, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Konoha has inherited values for a long time and is still very affinity, the will of fire that promotes love and justice, and the consistent attitude of the hegemon of the ninja world, which has created the pride and self-confidence of the Konoha ninja, and the mentality of the small country and widows in the grass ninja village is completely different, xenophobic, arrogant, and introverted is a portrayal of those people.

In Mizuki's eyes, if Taki Shinobu is still barely maintaining the dignity of a strong man, the other small country ninja villages are some flies struggling to survive. If you can't take care of it yourself, how can you have a good impression of outsiders who take refuge? It is a common thing to squeeze out their value and then abandon it.

Only Konoha who takes maintaining the order of the ninja world as his own responsibility will have an eclectic bearing, not only because of the great value of the Uzumaki family's adaptation to the body of the human pillar, but also because of the confidence that he can accept and influence the world, even if it is the other four major ninja villages, there will not be such a strength as Konoha.

Jirai can also teach Yahiko, Nagato and Konan for a few years, even if he saw Nagato's reincarnation eye, he didn't wait to bring back Konoha, but let it grow freely. If you are in other ninja villages, this is simply impossible, and teaching ninjas from other ninja villages in private and accepting them as disciples may be recognized as traitorous ninjas. There is also Yakushidou, if it weren't for the death of Yakushi Nonoyu, this clever genius ninja might have become the pillar of Konoha.

"It's really nice to bring the incense to Konoha Village. 』

To save a good business from disaster, Mizuki, who has a lot of affairs, will not deliberately force it, but a good deed that is easy to do is also a thing that makes him happy.

"Listen to me, Mizuki-senpai, Sister Tsubaki......" Xiangren couldn't help but show off: "Shizun-senpai told me that if I continue to behave well, I will become an official Konoha ninja in a while!"

"Yes!" Tsubaki was particularly pleased with the change in Xianglian, "It's a good job, you must wear it when you get the forehead guard for me to see." ”

"Hmm. Xiang Yan nodded heavily in agreement.
