Chapter 22: Let go

Kurayoshi didn't go to the Hokage Building to register the damage to his property, but kept rummaging through the rubble for something.

Time passed, and the sun rose to the middle and shone on the earth.

Kurayoshi dug through a piece of rubble and finally found what he was looking for.

A photo.

It's just that a large piece of the photo is missing, and only one person's legs can be seen.

Kurayoshi continued to rummage through the rubble, and pieces of rubble were turned out and thrown away.

He had a cold, had just finished the infusion, and was not in very good shape.

The head is dizzy.

But the photo he was thinking about kept digging and searching.

Finally, as the moon hung high, he finally found all the fragments of the photograph in the ruins.

Putting all the pieces together, a picture of an ordinary-looking but delicate young couple holding a baby appeared in front of me.

Kurayoshi reached out and stroked the photo, a smile on his face.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

The photos that were finally gathered were blown away and flew away.

Kurayoshi quickly stood up and reached out to grab the direction in which the photo flew away.

It's just that there are too many fragments, and although one or two fragments are caught, more are flying away with the wind.

He froze.

Looking at the pictures flying in the sky, rising until they completely disappear into the night, I lowered my head and hands as if I had lost my strength.

"Ahh There are some things that you won't get back if you lose them. Kurayoshi muttered to himself.

He stood still in the night, letting the cold wind blow and not moving.

I don't know how long it took.

Kurayoshi looked up.

The sky, the full moon shimmered with stars all around.

I don't know if it's a delusion, or if that's what it is.

Kurayoshi found two particularly dazzling stars, and he felt very affectionate, and he was shining at him.

"Is that you?"

"No, no, no, I didn't miss you, I just...... Somewhat lonely. ”

"Well, I'll definitely take care of myself."

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a beautiful and virtuous girlfriend in the future, don't worry!"

"Hmmm! I'm fine, you don't have to worry. ”

Kurayoshi muttered to himself to the sky, and did not stop until a dark cloud came in and obscured the starlight.

A relieved smile appeared on his flushed face.

It's faint and quiet, making people feel at ease at a glance.

"The long-lost farewell is over, so go to the third generation grandfather to register the property loss, do you want to report more?"

Kurayoshi walked towards the Hokage building with a faint smile, as if he had encountered something very happy.

After he left, Uchiha Itachi walked out from behind a large tree not far away.

He looked at Kurayoshi's departing back, his eyes flashing with a complicated look.

He didn't know what secrets Kurayoshi was hiding, but he could be sure that Kurayoshi wasn't a spy planted by another village, and that he was a good guy.

However, good people don't necessarily only do good things, and bad people don't necessarily only do bad things.

What's more, the world is not made up of black and white, and he can't be sure what Kurayoshi's position is, and what his attitude is after knowing the Uchiha coup.

If you ask him for help, will you get help, or will it ......

Does he have what it takes to help me?

……

Perhaps because the beast broke into the village and destroyed a street, the Hokage building is still lit up.

Kurayoshi came to the Hokage Building, and after reporting his identity to the guards, he was let in.

After walking through the narrow hallway, up the spiral staircase at the end, and after walking for a while, Kurayoshi finally arrived at the Hokage's office.

I sorted out my attire and mood at the door, and then knocked on the door.

"Please come in." The old but powerful voice of the three generations came from inside.

Kurayoshi pushed the door open.

Inside, there were two shadows standing at their desks, apparently discussing something with the third generation.

Seeing Kurayoshi come in, several people turned their eyes to Kurayoshi.

Sarutobi slashed his face with wrinkles piled up together, revealing a kind smile, "It's Kurayoshi, I'm wondering when you're coming, and the residents of that street haven't come to register the property damage yet." ”

"Delayed by a little thing." Kurayoshi scratched his head, then put his hands between his legs and bowed to Miyome in apology, "I'm very sorry to come so late and cause you trouble." ”

"Don't be so polite, it's not a big deal."

Sarutobi took his pipe in his mouth, rummaged through the papers on the table with both hands for a while, and then pulled a form out of it.

"Konoha doesn't have any extra single rooms now, so I'll give you this yard as compensation, the furniture and daily necessities inside have been prepared, you can just live in it."

As he spoke, Sarutobi handed the form to a dark person in front of him, "You take Kurayoshi to that courtyard!" ”

"Yes."

The dark part took the form, and then looked at Kurayoshi.

After Kurayoshi was stunned for a moment, he bowed to the three generations again, "Thank you very much." ”

There are no vacant houses......

Hehe! The ninja's hands-on ability is not fake, even if there is no spare house, he can build one for you in an hour.

The so-called replacement of a single room with an independent yard if there is no vacancy is just a means to buy people's hearts.

It seems that I still underestimated the talent and will I showed. ’

"Thanks for what?" Sarutobi took two puffs of his pipe and said with a slight smile: "As the Hokage, it is my dereliction of duty to let this kind of thing happen right under my nose, so you can live in it with peace of mind!" ”

"Got it, three generations of grandpa."

Waving goodbye to Miyoshiro, Kurayoshi followed the shadows in front of him and left the Hokage Building.

The two of them walked all the way west, about three kilometers or so, and walked in at a fork in the street.

About 100 meters or so, a small courtyard came into view.

This courtyard is a few years old, and the walls are all old style in black and white.

However, judging by the absence of cracks in the walls and the new gate, it is clear that the yard has been renovated.

"This is the courtyard." The dark department handed over the document sheet in his hand, and there was a bunch of keys on it, "This is the deed and the key inside, the furniture and daily necessities in it have been prepared, you can slowly get familiar with it!" ”

Kurayoshi took the deed and keys and said "thank you" to the dark department.

The dark part didn't care, just nodded, and walked away in an instant.

Kurayoshi stood in the doorway and looked left and right, there were no other houses around, only sparse trees and vegetation, and behind the courtyard was the Hokage Cliff.

Not directly below, of course.

Going out of the trail, there is a shopping street, and the flower shop of the Yamanaka Ino family is located on this street.

"This lot ......"

Kurayoshi held one hand to his chest and pinched his chin in the other, lost in thought.

Although the current housing prices in Konoha are not as high as in the Boruto period, as the largest village in the ninja world, it is located in a commercial street close to the Hokage Building.

You don't have to think about it, you know it's worth a lot.

"That's a lot of money!"

Kurayoshi shook his head, not thinking about this mess.

He just needs to keep getting stronger, and if he has power, he can have everything, and the rules of this world are so simple and cruel.
