Chapter 37 Retirement
Chapter XXXVII
Konoha 22 years.
Two years can change a lot of things, and in the big picture, Konoha has become more prosperous and prosperous.
If you look at the details, such as the clothing and decoration of the pedestrians, you will find a lot of new things that make you feel that the world is changing with each passing day, so that you feel a little uncomfortable, and then you can only slowly accept it while feeling that time flies.
However, there are also things that have not changed much, such as Chiyo's dress, and then Chiyo's home. Several of his friends have advised him on more than one occasion to the effect that he should change his living environment and clothing style a little in order to make his life more colorful.
Chiyo declined their offer because he felt that his life would not be enriched by that.
"I think my life is boring."
Chiyo withdrew her gaze from the farce downstairs, looked at the man talking beside him, and then continued to watch the play.
This is an upscale hotel in Konoha, and the two of them are standing by the railing on the fifth floor, looking down at the fight in the lobby on the first floor from the top floor.
Unfortunately, the farce didn't last long, as the Uchiha arrived quickly, separated the two sides of the brawl, and hurried away with two groups of people.
Shaking her head slightly, Chiyo returned to the box opposite.
"So, those Uchiha errands are quite easy to offend." The other party closed the door, sat down on the opposite side, and then said this seemingly casually.
Chiyo looked at the middle-aged man with a beer in her hand, signaling that she was interested.
"Because no matter how good they are, they will always make some people unhappy."
"This time, for example, they actually handled it very well, but it still attracted hatred. The hatred from the arrested, and the hatred of some onlookers, well, or rather dissatisfied. ”
Looking at the other party's meaningful expression, Chiyo realized that "some onlookers" should be referring to him, and shook his head, he denied this: "I have nothing to disagree with. ”
"Huh? Aren't you used to filming these scenes? ”
"It's not worth it."
The other party raised his eyebrows, a "I see" expression, "Okay." ”
"But there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied, and most of these people are villagers of Konoha."
After pouring a sip of beer, Chiyo agreed with this, and these Uchiha were indeed miserable by the second Hokage. However, they must admit that who let the Thousand Hands Clan disband, but the Uchiha, as an old rival, was not disbanded.
"Of course, the small family can not be dissolved, but the Uchiha, as a big family of the same level as the Thousand Hands, should be on par with the Thousand Hands Clan", this should be the opinion of many people in Konoha Village.
"However, it also makes people feel grateful, after all, they are contributing to Konoha."
"So, Chiyo, can you tell me why everyone still rejects the Uchiha?"
Essentially, this is because the Uchiha are the largest family in Konoha today, and when the entire Konoha advocated de-familialization, they naturally became a "stumbling block" of the times.
However, the other party obviously didn't want to hear this essential answer, and Chiyo felt that the other party wanted him to analyze it from the perspective of the "police department". So he spoke, "For disgust is obviously more impressive than gratitude." ”
Moreover, gratitude like this would generally be attributed to the Hokage, so the Uchiha were indeed miserable by the second Hokage.
Sure enough, the other party smiled happily.
Chiyo looked at the dark captain in front of him and felt that the other party had a lot more words than usual, but people who had just retired would inevitably be a little sad, so Chiyo expressed his understanding, although he didn't know what he was sad about.
"Huh. Chiyo you're smart, really smart. Both me and the Hokage think so. ”
"So what?" Chiyo smiled and asked rhetorically.
"So, such a smart person is very suitable to be the Hokage." The other party waved his hand and motioned for Chiyo to listen to him continue, "Of course, with what I know about you, you will definitely say "I don't want to be a Hokage", and when you say it, your expression will definitely be the same as usual. ”
"That weird look. You're a weird little kid too. ”
Chiyo was noncommittal.
The person in front of him took him on a mission for two years alone, and because of the special relationship, the two of them also had a close relationship in private, so they knew each other very well. For Chiyo, although he didn't regard this as an elder, he recognized it as a friend.
Therefore, the two of them get along very casually, such as the way they speak, and then the beer in Chiyo's hand.
"You call being in the midst of blessings and not knowing blessings." The other party opened a bottle of beer hatefully, "What's so bad about being a Hokage?" ”
Chiyo removed the mouth of the bottle and stared straight at the other party: "I can be if I want to be?" ”
"You want to be beautiful!"
……
"There's a good chance you're there, though. In my opinion, you are the most likely to be the Hokage if you want to. ”
After taking a sip of her beer lightly, Chiyo decided to change the subject, "Don't talk about me, today is your retirement party." In your boring life, have you figured out what you want to do in the future? ”
"Oh hehe, what I just said is true, my life is indeed boring."
"A person who has participated in the ninja war, how can his life be said to be boring?"
"Who would take that experience as a good memory."
Staring at the black bottle mouth, Chiyo was stunned for a moment, and then turned to the other party: "In the future, you will stay in the village and do nothing?" Don't look for a partner? ”
……
"I think it's weird to be asked this question by a kid."
"Besides, you know ......, well, you know what an object is."
The other party thought for a moment with a serious expression, then let go of his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly, "People like me are not suitable for starting a family." I'm fit to live alone. ”
"Chiyo, did I tell you why I have so few friends?"
Nodding, Chiyo gave the answer: "Because they all died in battle." ”
"That's right."
The atmosphere was a little solemn for a while, Chiyo put down the wine bottle and looked at the other side: "Do you need me to introduce you to a job?" ”
He was thinking of the moth, and with such a former dark army leader to help her barbecue restaurant, her business should be much less troublesome.
And this is also beneficial to the person in front of him, after all, more contact with people is conducive to the mental health of lonely middle-aged people. By the way, you can also get some salary, although this person doesn't need it.
After some explanation, the other party did not refuse or agree, but said that he would try it for a few days when he was bored.
That's not bad.
