"Long time no see, Kakashi-sensei. ”

Sasuke said this in an inexplicable tone. He was like a student who had graduated for a long time and met his junior high school teacher on a corner on the street, so he smiled and said hello.

"Ah, long time no see," Kakashi paused for a moment before saying in his characteristic lazy tone. Under the brim of his hat, he lazily looked at the young man in front of him.

"Sasuke, you, who once lived for hatred, have you grown to this point now? I don't know why, but your hatred for Konoha may have been put down...... I wish I could have stayed with you. ”

"Shikamaru, Ninji, long time no see" After greeting Kakashi, Sasuke greeted his old classmates again.

Kakashi's bodyguards were a little surprising to him by these two people, not in terms of strength, he had been collecting information on the ninja world, and he clearly knew that the two people in front of him at least had the strength of the elite ninja.

Whether it is the Grand Canyon recapture battle that Konoha trickster became famous, or the file of the Thunder Shadow sniper battle that Hyuga genius became famous, it can be studied repeatedly in the war intelligence department of the Star Palace.

Sasuke's puzzle was why he didn't choose the ninjas of the same era as Kakashi of the older generation, whether it was the old pig deer butterfly, or the oil girl Shiwei, etc., the political experience they had was not comparable to the two young people in front of them.

"Probably to maintain enough strength on the front line and train the new generation of successors, after all, young people are not good at fighting, although the war at the negotiating table will not kill people, but it is more dangerous. ”

"Yo, Sasuke" Shikamaru still looked lazy, he had a small goatee, and a scar spread from his temple to his jaw, next to the scar was a twig-like scar, which seemed to have been cut by a ninja who was proficient in lightning and swordsmanship, but it added a bit of maturity to him.

Compared to Shikamaru, Ning Ci was much colder, he just nodded slightly, and he still had that indifferent expression on his face. He was dressed in the plain white kimono of the Hyuga clan, and under the wide sleeve on the left side, the hand with the bandage wrapped around the palm of the hand was missing, missing part of the little thumb.

"The joint meeting will start tomorrow, I'll take you to your residence first, and then I'll take you to see the floating city if you're interested," Sasuke smiled politely, "Of course, if Kakashi-sensei has other arrangements, that's fine." ”

"Then trouble Sasuke-kun," Kakashi replied.

"That...... Sasuke-kun, is there a fire?"

Shikamaru touched his pocket, smiling apologetically with a cigarette in his mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm addicted to smoking." ”

The six-pointed star instantly appeared in Sasuke's right eye, and then the black flame of the cigarette disappeared in an instant, and a long line of smoke appeared.

Shikamaru enjoyed squinting and took a deep breath, the fireworks flickered in that instant, and then he opened his mouth slightly, and smooth smoke spat out of his mouth in an instant.

"Amaterasu lit a cigarette, it's really a great treat," Shikamaru said with a smile that seemed to be in good spirits.

The smoke blown away by the wind blew Xiangling who was standing beside Sasuke, and she could feel the hallucinants in the smoke, albeit in a small amount.

"Does it hurt anymore?" she silently jotted down the information.

At this time, Sasuke's attention was attracted by the cigarette in Shikamaru's mouth. Konoha brand, the cigarette with the same name as the village, is the best-selling brand in the land of fire. Uchiha Fugaoka, Sasuke's father, also smokes a bite or two in his spare time.

Once, when he was fishing with Sasuke, Tomioka was smoking by the river in Konoha as the setting sun reflected the lake in a golden red color, and the faint smoke blew from his father's side to Sasuke's eyes.

Perhaps because of the relationship of letting go of hatred, Sasuke occasionally reminisces about his childhood.

"Does Konoha tobacco still smell like it used to?"

"Well, just like Ichiraku ramen, the taste hasn't changed."

"You can go back to Konoha when you have time. ”

"Well, let's go back and have a look after this war is over. ”
