Chapter 34: The Zerg
"What's wrong?" Tomoko Hippo, who heard the voice, ran in.
"Mother."
This title seems to have been buried in Tomoko Hippo's memory for a long time, so long that she has forgotten what it was like, and the whole person stands at the door, tears of happiness keep flowing.
Hippo Hanyu wanted to stand up, but he didn't move for too long, making his body a little uncontrollable. Red and Rin glanced at each other, helped him up, and walked towards Tomoko Hippo.
In two years, Hippo Hanyu seems to have grown a lot taller, and now he is about 1.6 meters tall, and with the help of Hong and Lin, he hugged Tomoko hippo hard.
"Mother, I'm sorry to worry you." Hippo Hanyu whispered in his mother's ear.
At this moment, Tomoko Hippo is surrounded by happiness, no matter how much hard work, no matter how much hard work is worth it.
The news of Hippo Hanyu's waking up spread quickly, which brought a trace of joy to Konoha, who was used to sadness, and the firecrackers of the hippopotamus family were set off all day, and relatives and friends who could rush back also rushed back to see him as much as possible.
After a period of cultivation, Hippo Hanyu's body quickly recovered, and due to the waste of physical skills for two years, both degree and strength were not as good as before.
Han Yu, the hippo who had just finished a long-distance run, took the tea handed over by the housekeeper Kenzen Yuanzuo, sat cross-legged in the aisle, drinking tea while looking at the blooming chrysanthemums in the yard.
"Uncle, thank you for the past two years." Hippo Hanyu said seemingly casually.
A lot of things have happened in the past two years, and if it weren't for the strong backing of Kenzen Yuanzuo, I'm afraid many things would have been worse.
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Kenzen Motozo continued to make tea without raising his head.
It's been two months since Hippo Hanyu woke up, and he hasn't mentioned anything about returning to the team, and his teacher Mitarai Zixiao has come to see him many times, but he seems to have forgotten about it.
He is happy to be idle, in addition to practicing, most of the time is digesting the things of the two years, and the most difficult thing for him to accept is that it seems that the war between Konoha and Shayin Village, which was born yesterday, has ended.
Konoha, who suffered heavy losses in the war, took advantage of this short period of peace to heal his wounds. These days, the most news that Hippo Hanyu receives is that the classmate died in battle, so-and-so friend is disabled, and there are missing.
Among them, the moonlight night mist, known as the "Night Dance", died of illness last year, and the "Blue Beast" that overused Qimen Dunjia was already a waste of people and could no longer use any physical skills.
Fortunately, Bo Feng Shuimen's "Flying Thunder God Technique" has been completed, and he has shown his might on the battlefield of the sand ninja, becoming the most eye-catching new star after the three ninjas, and even the reputation of Mitarai Zixiao has a tendency to be overshadowed by him.
In the past two years, Hippo Hanyu has not gained anything at all, at least, now his spiritual power has increased more than twice, and the chakra stock has not decreased because of his coma, on the contrary, it has increased a lot, and Hippo Hanyu can use ten shadow clones to cultivate without feeling tired, which was impossible to do before.
In order to make up for the losses of the past two years, Hippo Hanyu is fully open, his knot India has recovered to the heyday of Yoshino Shota, and the recovery of physical skills is also staggering, at least in terms of physical skills alone, he is on par with Kakashi, who has advanced in strength. And all this, he only took two months, and only Kenzen Yuanzuo knew his progress best.
Hippo Hanyu, who was cultivating in the Death Forest, saw a few bees, quite strange bees, and the Hippo Hanyu, who was more familiar with the Death Forest than his own home, immediately realized that these bees were not the natives of the Death Forest, and when they attacked those honeys, they unexpectedly appeared, and the bees would actually dodge.
Ninja bees, this is something that has only been seen in books. In this era, any clue may affect the lives of hundreds of people, and Hanyu Hippo did not ignore these ninja bees as a small incident.
"Hello, I'm looking for Shihiro the oil girl." The oil girl clan, one of the four major families of Konoha, finally found the home of the oil girl Shihiro after wandering around for a long time.
"May I ask who you are?" A girl who looked a little timid asked.
"My name is Hippo Hanyu, and I'm looking for him to ask for something." Hippo Hanyu explained.
"My brother is not at home, is there anything I can help with?" When the girl heard the name of Hippo Hanyu, her face turned red.
"He's not here!" Hippo Hanyu was a little disappointed: "Since he is not here, then I will go first, thank you!" β
"Wait!" The girl shouted.
"What's the matter?" Hippo Hanyu was a little strange, she was obviously afraid of life, how could she stop herself as a stranger.
"You really don't know me anymore?" The girl said strange things.
"Should I know you?" Hippo Hanyu asked rhetorically.
"My name is Nariori, and I'm a classmate of you." Seeing that Hippo Hanyu didn't know her, she looked disappointed.
"Oil Girl Ori," Hippo Hanyu knocked his head to collect his memory, "I remember, you are the oil girl who doesn't like to talk and wraps herself tightly like a masked woman all day long, it turns out that you look like this." β
Hearing that Hanyu the hippo finally remembered his name, the oil girl Nariori showed a smile on her face, but after hearing his evaluation, her face couldn't help but turn red.
How can this girl like to blush as much as that Hinata Hinata! Hippo Hanyu thought in his heart, wait, she shouldn't have a crush on me!
"If you are looking for something to do with my brother, maybe I can help." The oil girl Nariori plucked up her courage and said.
Now Hippo Hanyu was a little hesitant, in his memory, the oil girl Nariori was not very prominent, so he didn't know much about her strength, but Hippo Hanyu finally chose to believe her, "Well! β
"Can you please come in and talk?" Nariori, the oil girl, asked.
"Okay!"
Under the leadership of the oil girl Nariori, he walked through the entrance and sat down in the living room, watching her busy making tea and pouring water, Hippo Hanyu was a little embarrassed.
It is worthy of being born in the family, and there is indeed a set of tea making, the beautiful movements, the serious demeanor, and the bursts of tea fragrance, just looking at and smelling it, it is a kind of enjoyment.
"Han Yujun, could you please taste it?" Nariori, the oil girl, respectfully handed over the teacup, like a wife who served her husband.
"Uh-, that-, Nariori, I'll call you Nariori, right?" Hippo Hanyu took the cup and asked.
"Of courseβyes." The oil girl Nariori's face turned red again.
"It's okay if you call me Hanyu, we were originally classmates, don't always call me you, I feel very uncomfortable listening to it." After taking a sip of tea, Hippo Hanyu said to Hippo Hanyu very seriously.
"Alright then!" The oil girl replied in a low voice.
Looking at the demeanor of the little woman who was weaving the oil girl, Hippo Hanyu had a prankster heart and deliberately teased: "Then call it and listen to it." β
The oil girl Nariori lowered her head and shouted in a low voice, "Hanyu-"
"Are you calling me? I didn't hear anything. Hippo Hanyu said shamelessly.
"Hanyu." The oil girl Nariori's voice was a little louder, but it was still small, but at least it could be heard.
Originally, Hippo Hanyu was about to play with her again, but a loud voice came, "Chengori, are you a guest?" β
"Ahh My brother replied. When the oil girl Nariori heard the voice, she immediately stood up and headed towards the door.
"Brother, Han Yujun is coming to you."
"Hanyu, that Hanyu?" The figure of the oil girl Zhihiro wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses hiding half of her face in the collar appeared in the living room, and then saw the hippo Hanyu sitting there leisurely drinking tea, without any awareness of the guests.
"Oh no, I forgot that the person who is familiar with Shihiro the oil girl should be Shota Yoshino, and he doesn't know him at all." Hippo Hanyu, who suddenly remembered this very important thing, suddenly had a crash, and a mouthful of tea squirted out, almost pouring it on the oil girl Zhihong.
The oil girl Zhihong was full of doubts, who is this little guy, Han Yu, I haven't heard of it. I haven't heard of it, and I can't blame him, as the elite of the oil girl family's generation, his figure either appears on the battlefield or is on a mission, and there is basically no time to pay attention to the newcomers who have graduated in recent years.
"You are the oil girl Shihiro's senior! I'm so glad to see you, my name is Hanyu Hippo, and I'm a classmate of Nariori. Hanyu the hippo, who was still with a leisurely demeanor just now, had already stood up, looked at the oil girl Shihiro with a face full of adoration, and continued: "I heard my classmates say a long time ago, you are the most outstanding ninja of the oil girl family, and I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but unfortunately I have not had time, and I have encountered some problems today, and I want to ask my seniors for guidance." β
The so-called thousands of clothes are worn, horses are not worn, not to mention in front of his sister's classmates, he feels even more face-saving, although the small half of the face exposed outside can not see any changes, but the tone is no longer as blunt as just now, "You sit down first!" Since you're a classmate of Nariori, just ask if you have any questions, and I'll see if I can help you. β
"Great, then thank you Shihiro senior." It is also the first time for Hippo Hanyu to interpret the former and the latter so thoroughly, and the difficulty is no less than winning the Academy Award! Gently wiping the cold sweat that did not exist on his head, Hippo Hanyu sat down carefully.
"Senior Shihiro, today I was cultivating in the forest, and I accidentally appeared a strange insect that I had never seen before, so I wanted to ask you for advice." Hippo Hanyu carefully took out the insect containing the ninja bee and asked sincerely.
"This is-," Shihiro the Oil Girl took the bottle and looked at it carefully, "It's a mutated wasp, where did you come from?" "This mutated wasp is unique to a bug operator in the ninja world who is as famous as their oil girl clan, and Shihiro the oil girl quickly recognizes it.
"I showed up near the Forest of Death." Hippo Hanyu told a little lie, after all, the average Konoha Shinobi avoided the Death Forest and was afraid of it, how could he run into it.
"That's right! Han Yujun, can you leave this to me first? I'd like to look into it and tell you when we have the results. Shihiro the oil girl obviously has reservations.
"Then I'll bother you, I'll go first." Hippo Hanyu got up and retired, the goal has been achieved, why don't you leave yet, why stay here? Today's face has been lost, and if you meet the oil girl Nariori again in the future, I'm afraid that I will have to avoid it.
"I'll send you." The oil girl Nariori also followed, although the performance of Hippo Hanyu just now was very different from the impression of him, but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than three years.
