Evening.

Konoha Hospital.

This kind of thing to comfort a person and enlighten a person, Qingming is not good at it, in the end, he doesn't talk away, and he doesn't plan to do it.

Didn't stay in the ward for long.

"I'm leaving."

After just a few words, Qingming left with Hinata Hanabi, and even Sakura Haruno and a few children left together, leaving only Naruto Uzumaki himself.

But soon someone will come looking for him.

Self also.

I guess he can understand Naruto Uzumaki's mood very well, when Orochimaru defected, he also chased him out personally, and of course he failed.

Yes.

In Jiraiya's opinion, he himself is a very failed person, he failed to protect his apprentice, and he failed to prevent his good friend from going down the evil path, and his relationship has always been unhappy.

Until now, he is also old.

"Alas......"

In the world, there is always too much helplessness, perhaps we are too weak, so in the face of many things, there is nothing we can do, only in exchange for a sigh.

And then life goes on.

A sucker?

Or smart people?

After going through so many things, Jiraiya, who learned a lot from them, thinks that he is also a smart person, so he persuaded Naruto Uzumaki to give up.

But Naruto Uzumaki, he'd rather be a fool for the rest of his life.

"Heh......"

Hearing that firm tone, Zilai, who had been silent for a long time, only laughed self-deprecatingly, it was really hard to say who was stupid and who was smart.

All in all, he had a new apprentice.

It's stupid though.

……

Evening.

Kiyoshi took Hinata's hand and wandered around the crowded streets, where many people were discussing the defection of Sasuke Uchiha, which had just been announced.

This was a surprise.

The orphans of the Uchiha clan, who are still very well-known among the residents of Konoha, now say that they have defected, which makes them feel incomprehensible.

Life is difficult, no one is more miserable than anyone, and no one is luckier than anyone, and one thing everyone is doing is trying to keep themselves alive.

The world is still cruel, but we still need to live, because only by living can we have everything, and if we die, there is nothing.

Talk.

But no one cares too much about this matter, instead of caring about these, it is better to care about what to eat for dinner, Qingming is thinking about this issue.

"Sure enough, it's still ramen."

"Hmm."

"It would be nice if there was a girl sauce ramen."

“……”

Hinata Hanabi looked at him and didn't speak.

Sister juice?

She doesn't understand this kind of thing, anyway, Qingming always says things that people can't understand, and always does things that people can't understand and can't understand.

"Strange" is one of the labels of Qingming.

She didn't speak, and Qingming didn't care, holding her hand and moving forward, while thinking about something, while thinking, talking to herself.

"If you are a ramen shop, I don't know if you will meet Koizumi-san."

“……”

Hinata Hanabi still didn't speak.

Koizumi-san?

A person who hasn't heard of it, but there's nothing worth caring about, and sometimes, Qingming will always say some names they haven't heard of.

For example, Cang (beep~)......

……

Ichiraku ramen.

Hinata Hanabi came here with Qingqing, she didn't plan to go back for dinner tonight, and she didn't even plan to go home if she could, but that wouldn't work.

"Welcome."

Kanban Niang Iris is still so beautiful, standing there with a smile, since she grew up, she has been helping her father work, that is, the big barrel of wood......

Well, it's just a joke.

I looked at it.

Suddenly I found that there was another person in the store.

Temari.

The girl ninja of the sand hidden that I saw in the hospital before.

"Shh

She also saw Qingming and Hyuga fireworks, and felt a little unhappy, of course, this unhappiness was purely for Qingming, Qingming is not very likable.

Qingming glanced at her.

Hinata Hanabi glanced at her as well.

Leave her alone.

Sit down directly in your seat, and then Qingming smiles and raises his hand to greet the calamus, while explaining the ramen he wants.

"Girl-juice ramen."

“……”

"Well, I've thought about it a lot, and sure enough, it's the girl juice ramen that suits the most taste."

“……”

It was as if he had eaten it.

Calamus didn't speak, but secretly complained to herself, Qingming is like this every time, and it doesn't look like he wants to eat ramen here, but he seems to be here to make trouble.

"Char siu noodles."

Hinata Hanabi on the side said.

"Hey! Two bowls of barbecued pork noodles, please wait a while. ”

“……”

Qingming pouted.

Sure enough, everything hasn't been going well lately, and I can't even eat a bowl of ramen with sister juice.

"Alas......"

Shaking his head and sighing.

Then, turning his head to look at Temari, who was sitting on the side, he also reached out and patted him on the shoulder, looking familiar.

"Now."

“？”

"Borrow some girl juice for me."

“……”

……

Sakura Haruno.

A maiden ninja who belongs to Konoha Village.

Twelve years old.

Of course, winter has arrived, spring is coming, in other words, she will soon be thirteen years old, although it is useless to increase this year.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed since graduating from the ninja school, and in this short period of time, he has performed a lot of tasks and gained some growth.

Although it's still a lower forbearance.

Moreover, her strength is not very powerful, Kakashi has never taught her much, and Qingming has never taught her anything seriously.

After all, in Qingming's heart, her status and her importance are far inferior to those of Tian Tian and Hinata Hinata, and even Yamanaka Ino is not comparable.

Yes, too.

The reason why she met Qingming was also the blessing of Ino in the mountains, if she hadn't dragged her to work with her, she and Qingming wouldn't have been able to talk.

So what kind of position does Qingming occupy in her heart?

Teacher?

The one who pays her salary?

Maybe.

But it wasn't important, and now she was like Naruto Uzumaki, worried about her "defector" companion and thinking about what to do.

But there are also some things I don't understand: in what capacity and what position does she care about Uchiha Sasuke's affairs? Just a companion?

It's just a companion, indeed.

But do you really need to be so concerned about this matter?

Don't understand.

She's also a nymphomaniac who has done it to Uchiha Sasuke, so sometimes she thinks she likes Uchiha Sasuke, but sometimes she doesn't feel that way.

Why is this so?

She couldn't figure it out.

So, before figuring out this kind of thing, she did things according to her current thoughts, such as going with Naruto Uzumaki to bring Sasuke Uchiha back.

……

Hokage's office.

Tsunade hasn't gotten off work yet, and the matter of the adaptation of the ninja force is too troublesome, so that most of her Hokage and Konoha shinobi are dizzy.

As for the matter of Sasuke Uchiha......

Whatever.

I don't have time to pay attention to a little kid now, although he is quite talented and may become very powerful in the future, but that is also for the future.

As the Hokage, he wouldn't block the future of the village with someone who didn't necessarily have the future, and it didn't mean that without him, Konoha would be worthless.

If she really had to say it, she was more optimistic about Naruto Uzumaki.

"Come out."

Suddenly, he spoke.

Then, he appeared at the window, and I don't know if I wanted to peep or something, although it was impossible to see anything in such a place.

But that's not the point.

"I'm here because there's something I want to discuss with you."

He said.

Of course, what I want to talk about is something related to Naruto Uzumaki, he cares a lot about Naruto Uzumaki, after all, he is the son of his beloved apprentice, and now he is also his apprentice.

Speaking of which, the name "Naruto" also got from the protagonist of his novel.
