Yunokuni, Kusatsuhara, a town famous for its hot springs in the ninja world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is also the last stop on the Iruka and Izumi tours.

It's been three weeks since Ichinojuku left, and during that time, in addition to the five major countries, almost all the other small countries such as Tanokuni, Takinokuni, and Kawanokuni have walked all over on foot, and I don't know why Izumi would rather sleep in the wilderness than let Iruka use his abilities to fly and hurry.

"Hmm... Hot springs? It feels like it's pretty good. ”

Walking down the bustling streets, looking at the pedestrians who were mostly dressed in various yukata around him, Iruka said boredly.

Long-distance travel or something, it's boring for Iruka, it's better to have a famous place to eat, Iruka is still more interested in food after all, but he is not interested in those famous attractions, and he can't see what there is to see about those so-called famous places, every day is not to visit here and there, or to watch those circuses play monkeys, the so-called travel is simply aimless wandering, so that Iruka, who has no homesickness at all, begins to miss Konoha.

"The hot spring at the end of the trip is the best, Iruka-sensei, I'll let you do it once, you can choose the hot spring."

Izumi clasped her hands behind her back, slightly puffed up her chest, and followed Iruka with light steps, I don't know if it was an illusion, Iruka always felt that Izumi had become much more active since she left the country of stone than when she was in Konoha.

"Huh...... Thank you so much~"

Iruka replied insincerely, then suddenly stopped, and turned her head to look in a certain direction as if she had noticed something, a look of concern on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"I've met an acquaintance, let's go, let's go over and say hello."

With that, Iruka walked towards the corner street, as if he didn't bother to say who his acquaintance was.

Seeing this, Izumi glanced at Iruka's back with some dissatisfaction, she didn't doubt Iruka's words, after all, Iruka had already told her that he could sense the location of people he remembered within a certain range, and seeing his reaction was obviously to know who was nearby, the reason why he was dissatisfied was not because Iruka didn't tell her who the acquaintance was, but because she was very unhappy that the rare double trip ended early because of the relationship between the so-called acquaintances.

After a short time, Iruka and Izumi crossed several streets and soon came to a very luxurious hot spring restaurant that could be called the most luxurious in the area.

Before she could walk inside, Iruka heard a familiar voice:

"Teacher Hong, let's go to a cheaper place, I'm really sorry to let you break the bank."

"It's okay, Hinata, it's rare to pass by the country of Yu, how can you not soak in the hot springs once? Even if you don't come, I'll come, and the first time you complete the C-level mission, you have to have a commemoration, okay, okay, don't think too much, just let the teacher and me be generous once. ”

"This ...... All right. ”

Hearing the conversation inside, Izumi immediately knew who the acquaintance Iruka was talking about, although she and Hong were not familiar with each other, but they had only cooperated to complete a few tasks, and they usually had no contacts, but they didn't know each other, and they belonged to the kind of relationship between them that would nod their heads to each other when they met by chance.

"Huh? Iruka-sensei, the acquaintance you are talking about is the red senior? Tsk, if I'm not mistaken, the red senpai is a lot older than Iruka-sensei, right? And I heard that Asma-senpai has that meaning to the red senior.,Could it be that even if it's like this, Iruka-sensei, you don'......"

A look of disbelief appeared on Izumi's delicate face, and when she heard this, Iruka suddenly gave her a chestnut slap to the door of her head angrily, and said with a smile:

"I said, what did you become a love brain? How can you think about everything in terms of the relationship between men and women? Although I barely knew her, I was not an acquaintance, let alone a friend, and how could I possibly be interested in a woman five or six years older than me? ”

Izumi rubbed the place where she was hit by Iruka, rolled her eyes, and said seemingly casually:

"Huh...... Iruka-sensei's criteria for choosing a mate are really age, although I'm not very interested, but let me ask, Iruka-sensei, what is the approximate age deviation between the woman you will be interested in and you? ”

Iruka, who had just wanted to walk in, heard Izumi's inexplicable question, and couldn't help but stop for a while, looking at her with some doubts, but still replied very casually:

"Under two years old, whether it's two years older or two years younger than me, I'm not interested, why are you suddenly asking this? Are you calculating the dangers of living with me? If that's the case, then you can rest assured, I have always treated you as a sister, after all, I am four years behind you, and even if I have been living together, I will never be interested in you in other aspects. ”

"Sister... ......"

Izumi groaned for a moment, and then snorted dissatisfiedly for some reason, a look of chagrin gradually appeared on her face.

"Shhhh Who wants to be the sister of a sullen man like you who tries his best to hide H books and periodicals at home, it's super shameful to say. ”

Hearing this, Iruka shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and then raised her steps again and walked in, and the next moment, he saw Red who was paying at the counter and Tooth sitting in a chair not far from her, Shino and Hinata.

As soon as Iruka and Izumi entered, they were noticed by Red.

"Iruka-sensei, Izumi, why are you here?"

After paying, Red walked up to the two of them, greeted them politely, and then asked with some confusion.

"I happened to pass by here on the way back to the village after completing the mission, and I wanted to soak in the hot springs and go back, are you too?"

Izumi smiled slightly, replied in a gentle tone, and Iruka nodded on the side, and then Hinata and they also noticed Iruka, and immediately walked over and said hello politely.

After two months of not seeing each other, they seem to have grown a lot, and the most obvious change is that their little faces are a little less childish, a little more resolute, and much more reliable than when they just graduated.

The few people chatted for a while, and then when Izumi said that it was almost time to get ready for a hot spring, Hong suddenly proposed:

"Izumi, I have two hot spring rooms, why don't you go with me and Hinata, Iruka-sensei, Ya and Shino? Originally, we felt a bit wasteful when we were few people, but now with you and Iruka-sensei, it's almost the same. ”

"This ......"

Izumi's face was a little embarrassed, to be honest, she didn't really want to soak in the hot springs with unfamiliar people, don't look at her usually always talking to Iruka, she seems to be very cheerful, but she has always been the image of a cold girl in front of others, not to mention normal socialization such as eating together in hot springs, when Iruka is not next to her, others may not be able to get a response when they talk to her, so Kakashi and Kai, who are also elite shinobi seniors, can communicate with her normally.

After hesitating for a moment, Izumi suddenly turned her head and looked at Iruka, obviously giving him the decision, as long as Iruka agreed, then she would naturally not object.

Seeing Izumi's appearance of being dominated by Iruka, Red suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at this junior who was extremely arrogant in front of the vast majority of ninjas with great interest.

"What are you looking at me for? You can just make your own mind about this kind of trivial matter, anyway, it's not me who pays for it, my opinion doesn't matter~"

Iruka's attitude was as casual as ever, and when he heard his words, Hinata Kazuya and Shino's eyes suddenly became a little weird, and in addition to respect, there seemed to be something that made Iruka himself very unhappy.

"I'm an idiot to expect Iruka-sensei to come up with ideas, forget it......"

Izumi sighed helplessly, and then said politely to Hong: "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Hong." ”

"Hehe... It's nothing. ”

Red chuckled, glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and then walked to the counter to go through the formalities. (To be continued.) )
