Chapter 609: A New Mandate [II]
Fortunately, complaining is complaining, but in the bottom of his heart, Shikamaru is still happy for the unexpected promotion of his partners.
What's more, if you think about it carefully, Shikamaru, who has an outstanding IQ, it is not difficult to find that everyone can be collectively promoted to Zhongnin under this unexpected situation, which can be said to be a natural and normal development......
After all, what Naruto and the others brought back when they returned to the village this time was the good news that the three major ninja villages had joined forces to form an alliance! Even in terms of difficulty and contribution to the village, it is enough to be regarded as an S-level mission! Not to mention that in addition to the merit of facilitating the alliance of the three major ninja villages, he also captured the traitorous ninja Green Aoi and sent the unique hero water to the village!
In this way, although among all these feats, it was Naruto who made the most efforts. In the words of Naruto's previous life, it was Ninji who hired Naruto's group of substitutes to "open up the wasteland and farm monsters" for them in the front, and they only needed to share their experience in a team state, and sit back and wait for the upgrade. But it cannot be denied that they did their best in this operation. In addition, after Naruto relied on his own ability to conduct some physical training and physical strength for everyone, they were already close to the strength of the middle ninja, and compared with the middle ninja exam, they made significant progress. Furthermore, it would be no exaggeration to say that the strength of Ning Ci and the others has all reached the level of middle ninja.
In other words, because Naruto handed over the report to the three generations of Hokage, he shared all the merits he had received with everyone. And relying on his identity as a group pet, he was coquettish in front of the three generations of Hokage and said good things for everyone. They are already up to the standard, and it is natural that they can get this kind of reward.
As for Naruto, who did the most in this mission, they ......
Not to mention for the time being, Naruto and Xiao Tuan Fan, with the identities of "Ha Feng Mian Ma" and "Uchiha Charasuke", got the qualification of the upper ninja. So that these two little guys, who were already at the same level as Kakashi, naturally did not have much desire for promotion under this person and above 10,000 people. Just to keep a low profile as much as possible before he can fully grow up, it is destined that the two identities of "Naruto Uzumaki" and "Sasuke Uchiha" will continue to maintain the level of the lower ninja.
Of course, in order to avoid Ninji and the others, there were unnecessary doubts about Naruto and Sasuke's approach. even mistakenly believed that the three generations of Hokage had some kind of prejudice against the two of them, so they deliberately suppressed and prevented them from being promoted with everyone. As a result, Naruto and Sasuke, just after the three generations of Hokage's words fell, just glanced at each other, and then remained silent tacitly, and did not say anything more.
And Kakashi, who seems to have been deliberately ignored by the three generations of Hokage......
Don't forget, Kakashi himself is one of the best elite shinobi in the Konoha Ninja Village. With the help of Uchiha Fugaku, after completely mastering the power of the writing wheel, it can be said that he stepped into the shadow level with half a foot and touched the ceiling of the ninja class. And in the embarrassing situation of being able to give Kakashi the direction of promotion, only to become the Hokage, such a path, can only be selectively ignored......
Fortunately, Kakashi himself has long been aware of his embarrassing position. In addition, most of the insiders, including himself, believe that Naruto, who is the son of the fourth generation of Hokage, will inherit his father's mantle and become the fifth generation of Hokage, so that whether he can be promoted or not has long become an irrelevant matter for Kakashi. And when the three generations of Hokage spoke up and promised everyone a reward, Kakashi just put his hands in his pockets and put on a lazy posture that didn't care about himself, and he didn't say anything to protest and oppose something.
It's just that there is a question about himself who has no intention of competing for the position of Hokage, and he will be one step ahead of Naruto, and the matter of becoming Hokage is probably something that Kakashi can't guess no matter what......
……
Even if you know in your heart that from the moment this black-and-white covenant is handed over to you, the ceremony about the establishment of the covenant is just a formality to deal with the outside world. The three generations of Hokage are still determined to make all preparations when the day of the official alliance comes, so that Yunyin Village and Sand Hidden Village can feel the sincerity of Konoha Village, and further consolidate the strength of the alliance! So much so that after the reward for meritorious deeds and a little greeting, after a long period of leisure, the three generations of Hokage, who had already been idle, sent everyone out of the office. Then he dispatched troops, with that happy and satisfied smile, immersed in this painful and happy busy official business.
At this point, Naruto's temporary outing from the village can be regarded as a complete end. Immediately, after the fatigue of the journey, it was the people who needed a good rest to go back to their respective homes and find their mothers. Although Naruto had one bold idea after another about how to use the Tailed Beast Chakra that he had already obtained. But before taking action, he still followed the previous practice, followed the small group fan, returned to the territory of the Uchiha clan, and went to report peace to Fuyue and his wife in person.
After all, as early as during the entrance exam, Mikoto, who had been kept in the dark, accidentally learned that Naruto's parents were his "deceased" best friend couple, and under the thoughts of Aiya and Wu, he treated Naruto as his own son. It is not even an exaggeration to say that because Naruto was alone for the first three years, slowly suffering and enduring it, the distressed Fuyue couple treated Naruto with a slightly more affectionate attitude on weekdays than the real son Xiao Tuanfan! So much so that to this day, the Fugaku couple have already unknowingly assumed the role of Naruto's parents, filling Naruto's vacant fatherly and maternal love.
And this, for Naruto, who has suffered from injustice, has become more and more deeply aware of how happy it is for someone to care about and care about himself, it is naturally firmly in his heart. Even though Naruto didn't express it on weekdays, he had already treated Fugaku and his wife as his parents. So much so that every time they return from an outing, or after their practice, they haven't seen each other for a long time, the practice of saying goodbye to the Fugaku couple seems to be integrated into Naruto's daily habits, and it has become an indispensable thing.
Driven by this common thought, and because the territory of the Uchiha clan had already been transferred back to the center of the village from the remote edge, the small group fan and Naruto, after leaving the Hokage office building, even if they did not run at full speed, it only took less than two or three minutes to return to the territory of the Uchiha clan in that familiar shuttle.
"Speaking of which, Naruto...... You haven't told me who your parents really are, have you? ”
Perhaps because returning to a familiar and warm home can make people feel more relaxed and safe, so that in the past few days in the village, some people miss their parents, and even more miss their brother's brother-controlled small fan, and they can't help but gradually slow down their progress. As he walked with his head in his hands, the fan turned his head slightly sideways as if he had remembered something, and complained to Naruto, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Obviously, the old woman and the uncle are meeting you for the first time, but they immediately guessed who your parents are. And we've been together for so long, not to mention what your parents look like, and I don't even know your parents' names at all, it's too unfair, right? ”
Between the words, it is obvious that as he gets older, Xiao Tuan Fan feels more and more curious about Naruto, who is far more mature than himself, both mentally and practically. So much so that even though he was in Sand Hidden Village, he was prevaricated by Naruto's perfunctory response. But the little fan, who had already seen the opportunity, would not forget what he had said himself, and would wait until the matter was over before interrogating Naruto's decision. And in the eyes of Xiao Tuanfan, he has returned to the village, and it is rare to be alone with Naruto, isn't it a good time to "make trouble" to Naruto?
"Huh? Why did you suddenly remember this stubble again...... And, what do you mean by 'we've been together for so long'...... Don't say such things with a natural face, it's easy to misunderstand, stupid! ”
Of course, Naruto, who had expected this for a long time, knew that he would probably not be able to avoid this time when Xiao Tuan Fan opened his mouth to ask. So much so that while casually joking and teasing, while distracting the attention of the small fan, he bought himself more time to think about how to respond to this question. And then when he saw the eyes of the little fan, from beginning to end, he was staring at himself, and he didn't change in the slightest because of this ridiculous words, so that after Naruto's eyes turned around, he spread his hands innocently, and whispered mysteriously.
"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that, I'll just tell you secretly...... You must help me keep it a secret, and don't tell anyone else! ”
"Hey, hey, that's pretty much it!"
And after hearing Naruto's relieved response, the small group of fans, who were originally nervous and tight, finally couldn't hold back their laughter. Immediately, it seemed that the person who was about to reveal the secret was not Naruto, but himself, rubbing his palms together and nervously rubbing back and forth. On the one hand, under the leadership of Naruto, he also lowered the decibel of his words by a few points, and asked excitedly.
"Uh-huh! I promise, I absolutely...... Definitely not going around talking nonsense! So, tell me quickly, who are your parents? ”
"That's good, you said it yourself, if you lie, you're a puppy!"
Looking at the well-behaved and obedient in front of him, he almost had an extra tail, and when he shook back and forth behind him, a small fan that looked like a little milk dog, the smile that flowed in Naruto's eyes became more and more vigorous. Immediately, as if coaxing a child, he made an agreement, and paused for a while, until the small group fan nodded frequently, and after agreeing, he threw his true life experience as a heavy bomb directly to the small group fan without adulteration.
"Actually, my dad ...... It's the four generations of Hokage you've always admired, Bo Feng Shuimen! ”
Well, according to common sense, when he heard that Naruto's father, the great hero who he had admired since he was a child, saved the village, Xiao Tuanfan, who was already a little fan of Watergate, should be more and more excited. I couldn't even hold back this unexpected huge surprise, and just exclaimed directly......
“…… Ha? You said your father...... Is it the fourth Hokage-sama? ”
It's a pity that on the contrary, the small group of fans who were originally anxious to know the truth really knew Naruto's father's identity from Naruto's personal response, but the whole person's body was stunned in place. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes at Naruto while accusing angrily.
"Hey, who are you fooling, Naruto? Even if you don't want to tell me, you're going to have to make up a lie, right? ”
And Xiao Tuanfan's reaction was obviously in Naruto's calculations......
After all, it's like the most difficult to distinguish the true lie in the uttered words, only nine of which are true and one is false......
Although Naruto has used the identity of "Hakaze Face Ma" a lot over the years, he has been active with the small group fan. But because Naruto has been teasing and teasing the small group fan since he was a child, the small group fan not only named Naruto as his other identity, the reason for the name "Bo Feng Mian Ma", is just the product of Naruto's worship and longing for the wave Feng Shui Gate, just like himself.
What's more, judging from the experience summarized by Xiao Tuanfan's previous personal experience, it is not difficult to "see through" the answer that Naruto will easily confide in when he is alone with himself, that ten likely, it must be the "truth" of deliberately playing his own jokes! And then logically, it is naturally impossible to believe that Naruto's father is really the fourth generation Hokage!
"Huh? Why do you think I'm lying, Sasuke? Obviously, I just told the truth......"
In this way, after seeing the disdain of the small fan and putting on a wise appearance that he had seen through the truth, Naruto's face curled, and he couldn't help but tilt up slightly, revealing a planned smile. Immediately hurriedly retracted into the invisible, avoiding the small group fan from noticing the abnormality, and at the same time, he pursed his mouth and responded with a pretended aggrieved ridicule.
"Besides, it was you who asked me who my parents were, so I told you my father's name? How can you tell you that you don't believe me anymore? ”
I want to talk about "Naruto: Changing My Life" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
