Morning.

The temperature is a bit low.

The ninjas may not have felt anything, they are dressed in the same way all year round, but ordinary people have already worn thicker and warmer clothes.

It's already winter.

"Really?"

"Well, it's said that the order will be given soon, Tsunade-sama has decided to expand the ninja forces on the border, and many ninjas have already been called to return to the army."

"This is a big deal!"

“……”

Early in the morning, the villagers of Konoha were talking about such things, generally speaking, after the expansion of the army, there would be war, otherwise there would be no need to expand the army.

What does Tsunade want to do?

War?

It shouldn't be.

As the granddaughter of the first Hokage, her philosophy should be in the same vein as the first Hokage, and the first Hokage longed for peace and did not want war.

Konoha's basic strategy is also "defense-oriented", so he has never taken the initiative to attack other ninja villages, and the previous ninja world wars can be regarded as self-defense counterattacks.

Now that's not quite right.

It stands to reason that Tsunade, who had experienced the war and had suffered the disasters and grief caused by the war, should have been against the war, but now he is doing this kind of thing.

Why?

Many people don't understand this, but many more people don't realize it at all and still support their beloved Tsunade-sama.

Unconditionally supported.

Morning.

Kakashi came to the coffee shop by himself.

"Welcome."

There is still no smile on Hinata Natsu's face, and even the tone of his speech is very flat, which has never changed over the years, but everyone has become accustomed to it.

"Good morning."

Kakashi raised his hand to greet her, of course there was no response, he didn't care, and walked straight towards the counter, and Kiyoshi's position didn't change.

"Yo."

Stand there against the counter.

"Qingming-kun, good morning, are you studying Kobayashi-kun's novel again? A novel that is good for nothing but water, and you can study it so many times. ”

"Life is originally water, and it repeats a boring life every day, and 70% of the human body is water, so water is healthier."

Qingming waved his hand.

What is the ......

It seems to make some sense, but it is said that the water content of the brain is still more than 80%, so it is good to fill it with more water.

Let's not talk about that.

"Why don't you have to do a task today?"

"Take a vacation."

found that Qingming was still looking at the book in his hand, so after answering, Kakashi also took out a book of Affectionate Heaven and looked at it, saying as he read it.

"There's been a lot going on lately."

"Hmm."

"Time is passing, and the world is changing, since Tsunade-sama became the Hokage, Konoha has changed even more, what does Qingqing-kun think?"

"Not bad."

"Yes, but Qingmingjun really hasn't changed much here."

Kakashi glanced at it.

Coffee shop.

Compared to when it first opened, there hasn't been much change, and if I really want to say it, I just didn't expect Hinata Natsu, a maid, to work here for so many years.

At first, she said that it was just a short-term task, but now, it seems to have become her own work.

The mission is gone.

Hinata Hinata and Hinata Hanabi have also grown up, and they don't need her to take care of them, and the Hyuga family doesn't need her to do anything, so they can only continue to be maids.

This is something that no one expected at the beginning.

It's like Qingming, who looks like an ordinary person, will be a strong man who can defeat the "shadow", which is also something that many people can't imagine.

Ninjutsu, body arts, illusions.

Well......

Let's say the same for the time being.

There is no chakra, and I don't know whether Qingming's "technique" is ninjutsu or something else, in the case that Qingming didn't say it, it can be regarded as ninjutsu.

But not to mention ninjutsu and body arts, what makes Kakashi, Nara Shikaku and others care about is the illusion of Qingming, and the five generations of Mizukage Terumi were all tricked.

And what about Tsunade? The change in her style of doing things, could it be that it has something to do with Qingming? Did she use illusion to change her personality? Or is it something else?

This needs to be investigated.

To be honest, what kind of deal exactly existed between Tsunade and Kiyoei, so far only the two of them knew, and the others had no way of knowing what they wanted to know.

That's a lot of concern.

But does this really have anything to do with Qingming? If so, what is his purpose in doing so? If it's true, why doesn't he care at all?

There are too many questions, so that many people in Konoha can't feel at ease with Qingming, but they can't take action because they can't deal with Qingming at all.

And, at least, Qingming didn't do anything on the surface.

"Hmmm......"

Qingming raised his head and glanced at the coffee shop with no customers, except for the time when it first opened, the coffee shop was basically deserted.

"Because I don't like change very much, it's troublesome."

He said.

He was too lazy to do troublesome things, so Tsunade's affairs had nothing to do with him, and assisting her in taking out Shimura Danzou was to reduce more trouble.

That's all.

As for why Tsunade did these things, only she knew, maybe it was really just to prevent the invasion of the enemy country and to guard against the Akatsuki organization.

"Yes, after all, Qingmingjun, you have always disliked troublesome things, and now it is very troublesome."

Kakashi shook his head.

Their conversation seemed to have little substance, but Kakashi knew what he wanted to know, though he couldn't tell if it was real or not.

It depends on the level of trust.

He believes, then the message is true; If he doesn't believe it, then the information is fake; If he is skeptical, then the message will be meaningless.

He is willing to believe in Qingming.

Because it's a companion.

Perhaps, only him, only they regard Qingming as a companion, and Qingming does not really regard them as companions, but this is sometimes irrelevant.

Recognition is also a process.

There is a first and a last.

Moreover, some people can easily identify with others, while others have a hard time.

For example, Naruto Uzumaki.

As long as it is a ninja of Konoha, he will treat the other party as a companion, but the ninja of Konoha will not necessarily regard him as a companion, this is not mutual.

Kakashi naturally understands this.

But what if you understand?

He's also helpless.

Everything about Qingming, so far no one is clear, the origin is a mystery, the identity is mysterious, the face is grinning, and in fact, no one will be approached.

If you want Qingming to open her heart and communicate with them sincerely, there is no way to do it, and the only ones who can do this may be these little girls every day.

But every day, they don't think about these things at all, they don't ask these questions about Qingming, and even if they do, they won't say Qingming's answers.

"Alas......"

Sigh to yourself.

Soon, Hinata Natsu walked out with coffee and cake, after all, Kakashi was a guest, and he came here, so he solved the problem of breakfast here by the way.

While eating, I chatted with Qingming.

Of course, this time there is no special meaning, it's just simple nonsense, life is not only the blood in the distance, but also the plain as water in front of you.

Insipid?

Everyday as always?

Inexistent.

The current pattern of the ninja world is destined to not last long, with many princes and endless wars, and ordinary life can only be an expectation.

Almost every generation goes through a war.

And even more.

From the establishment of Konoha to the present, in just sixty years, it has experienced three major wars, and it is about to usher in the fourth war, which is unavoidable.
