Chapter 55: Choose one of the adopted daughters and sisters
In the entire Hokage building, only the Hokage's office seems to have the lights on.
Sarutobi stood up and opened the window, dispersing the smoke in the room, and then turned around, looked at Nohara Lin and smiled:
"Why, don't you recognize me, a bad old man?"
He had the same kind smile on his face as before.
Nohara Rin hurriedly shook his head and shouted respectfully, "Three generations of Hokage-sama." ”
She already knew about the death of the fourth Hokage-sama, but she didn't expect that even if she died, Konoha would also be attacked by the tailed beast.
And the third Hokage-sama in front of him...... It looks a lot older.
"Congratulations on your return to life."
Sarutobi slashed past the Hokage's desk, and suddenly, bent down and bowed slightly to Nohara Rin.
"Hokage-sama!"
Nohara Rin's shrill cry that was characteristic of a little girl suddenly rang out.
She raised her hand, but she didn't know what to do, and looked a little flustered.
Three generations of Hokage-sama, bow to a little girl to yourself?
"You deserve it." Sarutobi slowly raised his head, with a heartfelt thank you on his face, "For everything you have done, I have already learned from Kakashi that you did not hesitate to give your young life for Konoha not to be threatened by the tailed beast, and I, as the Hokage, must express my gratitude on behalf of the village for your dedication and your will." ”
"Hokage-sama......" Nohara Rin's little face flushed, "I, I just did what every ninja would do, it's very ordinary......"
In Nohara Lin's heart, such a thing is indeed not enough to praise.
After all, there are too many ninjas who died for Konoha in the war.
She is nothing more than an insignificant one of them.
Not only did they fail to save too many people, but they even almost brought disaster to the village.
"Huh." Ape Fei Ri chuckled twice, "Konoha can have a junior like you, and I can grow old with confidence." ”
"Hokage-sama......"
Nohara Rin's eyes were a little red.
"Hokage-sama." Kakashi said softly, his voice was obviously more than the previous carelessness, and he said, "I'm here now to ask Rin about his identity, is it going to spread in the village if someone who has died is resurrected?" ”
Shen Yun's words just now gave him a great warning.
Nohara Rin is just an ordinary girl.
The talent is not strong, and the background is not deep.
If such a girl is said to have darkness, war, and intrigue on her body...... The first thing that Kakashi thought of was that she was a resurrected person, and once the news spread widely, I was afraid that ninjas from other countries and secret organizations would all target Rin.
"That's right." Sarutobi also nodded, and said as if with emotion, "The secret of resurrection is too tempting,"
Kakashi didn't answer.
He said everything he had to say.
All that remains is to follow Hokage-sama's arrangement, which seems to have been the case for the past ten years.
But—
Sarutobi Hizashi looked up at Kakashi, still seemingly aware of the difference.
Gaze.
In the past, Kakashi's eyes were scattered, but now, they are condensed.
Really......
When it comes to protecting the people you cherish the most, the true power of a ninja ...... will show it.
Ape Fei Ri took a slow puff of cigarette, "That mysterious merchant, I also did some research, it seems that he has not been to the rest of the villages, it seems that he should have just come to our world not long ago, so before his news completely spreads, it is best to hide Lin's identity first." ”
Kakashi nodded.
That's what he thought, too.
At least, it will have to wait until the mysterious merchant is already known to everyone and has attracted most of the attention, and at that time, people's eyes will naturally no longer focus on a small resurrected Shinobi.
"And your two disciples." Sarutobi seemed to have thought of something, and was a little helpless, "Naruto is fine, but Sasuke...... The power he now possesses and his mind, if he is not guided, can easily go down the wrong path. ”
Kakashi nodded again.
He was indeed a little worried about Sasuke.
This teenager's hatred is too great, for the sake of power, it is easy to go down the evil path, the key is still young, and he doesn't understand anything.
"So, I've got an outing for your seventh class." Sarutobi handed over a scroll that was placed in the office to Kakashi, "The task is very simple, escort a person to the country of waves, and by the way, arrange an identity for Rin that can withstand the investigation, just say...... It's your adopted daughter over there, and others will only think that it's because she looks alike with Rin. ”
"Adopted, adopted daughter?" Kakashi and Rin exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time.
Ape Fei Ri looked at the two of them a little strangely, and then suddenly realized, and said with a smile:
"It seems that I'm really old, and my righteous sister is okay, anyway, it's an identity that I'll declare to the outside world for the time being, it's all the same."
"It's still a righteous sister." Kakashi smirked and stroked his hair, "Rin and I are the same generation after all. ”
Lin next to her, her little face seemed to be slightly red.
"Come over tomorrow to pick up the mission." Ape Feiri waved his hand, the charity smile on his face remained unchanged, "Pay attention on the road, don't let ordinary people see it." ”
"Yes!" Kakashi replied.
After they left, Ape Fei Ri subconsciously looked out the window.
It seemed that a figure was moving through the darkness at great speed.
There was a hint of worry in his gaze.
In the Hokage's office, the lights were still bright this night.
......
The silence on the other side, after Kakashi left with Rin, turned his head to look at Tsunade and the others, and said with a smile, "Since there is no business, then I will leave first." ”
Although it is only a day and a night.
But he had the feeling that a long time had passed.
At this time, some people want to go back to sleep.
"Oh? Do you have a place to rest? Tsunade looked at the silence that was about to leave, pursed his lips slightly, put his hands around his chest, and said casually, "If not, why don't you go to me, I also just want to know more about the paladin." ”
Compared to last night.
Today's invitation is the real staycation invitation.
Tsunade, who witnessed the resurrection, still has the excitement of witnessing a miracle in his heart, and that's not all.
She has experienced so much today.
One of the biggest changes is the transfer to the Paladin.
The test of the Light was a spiritual transformation for her. The despair and struggle of the past seem to have been swept away today, and it has become more relaxed and hopeful than ever.
She did want to know something about the Paladin, but more-
Tsunade is curious and dependent on the silence that brought about all these changes, as well as the mysterious jar.
