Chapter 243: Memory
Naruto looked at the ** Hokage Building, the look of surprise on his face became heavier, he originally thought that what he saw was just an illusion, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Tsunade's mother-in-lawβ" Naruto rushed into Tsunade's office, pushing the door open and shouting.
"Naruto?" Tsunade wasn't in the office, only Shizune squatted on the ground to pack up papers, "Tsunade-sama went to the hospital." β
"Oh", Naruto was slightly disappointed, but quickly recovered, "Shizuna-senpai, I saw a strange person today......" Naruto played a trick, only saying that he saw Kurama Yakumo painting on the mountain, and praised her words for drawing well, but he didn't mention anything about the encounter with the shadows, and wanted to talk from Shizune's mouth.
Shizune's hand stopped, glanced up at Naruto, didn't think too much, and said, "I just heard that girl you said about Hong, it seems to be one of her students, and when Red left, I asked her to help take care of it." β
"Yay? She's a student of Teacher Hong, so her illusion is very powerful, right? Naruto's eyes lit up, as if he had a new Big 6, which made him extremely excited.
"Awesome?" Shizune smiled and said, "Maybe!" β
"But, I saw her taken away by the shadows, did she do something? Why is there a dark part of her? Naruto asked cautiously.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Shizune suddenly became vigilant, Naruto This guy belongs to the typical Ado Without Nothing type, and he is so enthusiastic today, I'm afraid it's not just curiosity.
"I saw it with my own eyes." Naruto didn't seem to realize that Shizune was reversing his words.
"Really? What is the situation, you can tell me. Mute has a harmless smile on her face, and it's really easy to let down your guard.
Sure enough, Naruto, the idiot, was really fooled and told the truth about what had happened.
"I said, just now there was a sudden flash of thunder, hit the building, part of the room on the roof of the building was on fire, I thought it was an accident, I heard you say this, only to know that it was man-made, according to what you said, that girl is very suspicious." Mute tapped her chin with her finger and thought as she spoke. Although Tsunade had pointed out that the fire in the Hokage building was just an illusion, I don't know why someone did it to give people such a real illusion. And what Naruto said, she hasn't received a report from the dark department, so she was a little surprised, and now she knows that it was the genius of the Kurama clan.
"How so? It's so far away, even Uncle Zilai can't do it, it must be an accident! Naruto didn't believe that anyone could really control the thunder and lightning through that, and besides, he was standing next to the girl at the time, and he didn't see her perform any ninjutsu moves.
Perhaps, it was just a coincidence that she painted such a scene on the painting. It's just, just for that, to dispatch two Konoha dark parts, it's too much of a fuss, such a weak girl, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a bad person!
"Maybe! Since the dark department took her away, it must have appeared, you can rest assured, the dark part of Konoha will not arrest people casually, if it is really not what she did, it will naturally not embarrass her. Shizune thought about it, and it was better to appease Naruto first, and then go to find out the matter, so as not to cause trouble to Tsunade-sama with this kid.
"Oh!" Naruto thought about it and felt that Mute's words made sense, even if he didn't believe others, he should believe Tsunade's mother-in-law.
"Why do you care so much about that girl? You can't like her, right? Shizune winked maliciously and deliberately squeezed.
"yes, how could it be?" Naruto was frightened by Mute's words, and quickly shook his hand and said, "No, I just don't think she's a bad person." β
"So you sympathize with her! It's okay, otherwise let Sakura know, you're-" Mute looked at the embarrassed Naruto, smirking, sometimes, teasing the naΓ―ve Naruto is a good way to relax!
Naruto looked at Mute at a loss and stammered a little, "I'm still there-, there's still something to do, I'll go first." After saying that, he rushed out.
"Haha, that's cute!" Shizune covered her mouth and smiled, and she had a lot of contact with Tsunade and Jiraiya, and it was inevitable that she would get some bad taste, especially when facing Naruto, she didn't have the kind of stability in front of outsiders at all.
"Mute, you're going bad!" Rin knocked on the door and walked in, holding her right hand and gently rubbing her left arm, just now Naruto ran out in a panic and bumped into her without noticing.
"It's Lynn!" Mute had basically cleaned up and placed the papers on the table, "Why do you have time to come over, isn't the hospital busy?" β
Lin smiled and said, "It's okay lately, it's basically an ordinary disease, and there are very few injured people, and our medical team can almost take a vacation." β
"That's just right, while Kakashi isn't there, accompany me for a drink or two." Mute suggested.
Lin thought for a while and said, "Seeing that you are so pitiful alone, I will accompany you!" However, Ji Tu is almost out of school, and I won't be with you for long. β
"Got it", Shizune glared at Lin resentfully, and said, "I know that you are someone else's wife and mother now, but you don't have to remind me all the time!" It really hurts my heart when you say that! β
Lin knew that Mute didn't really take it to heart, so she took her arm and said, "Okay! Count me wrong, I'll have a treat. β
"You should have had a treat, you can be promoted now, you earn more than me, and your Kakashi, so desperately take on the task, the mission income should be a lot! It's like me, just a little sidekick, just enough to support myself. "It's rare for Mute to catch such an opportunity, how could she let Lin go.
The two of them plus Red were very good friends when they were at school, and they almost talked about everything, but after graduation, because they were not in the same class, and because they were busy with tasks, there were fewer and fewer opportunities to meet, and then later, something happened, and Shizune followed Tsunade and left Konoha.
Over the years, following Tsunade's side, Shizune didn't have time to think about personal problems at all, maybe it was influenced by Tsunade, and before returning to Konoha, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this.
But after returning to Konoha, I saw that my former friends were all married, and only I was still alone, and I was still a little lonely in addition to my busy work, but she could only taste this mood alone.
The two walked casually, and unconsciously walked to the vicinity of Konoha School, at this time, the junior students had already finished school, and only the senior students were still preparing for the graduation exam.
"I really miss my old days at school!" Shizune sighed, his eyes swept forward, as if there was some treasure, and suddenly lit up, "Lin, your barbecue restaurant is still there." β
"It's not our family for a long time", Lin shook her head with a smile and said, "When I first moved to the back mountain, the leisure house on this side of the school was transferred to an uncle in the village, or let's go and have a look." β
Although the boss has changed, the layout of the leisure house has not changed at all, I don't know if the current boss is too lazy, or because the original leisure house is too well decorated, the boss is reluctant.
Sitting at a table facing the street, the two of them each ordered a drink, a snack, and a nut.
"Lynn, do you remember the first time we ate at this lounge?" Shizune asked with a smile as she took the straw in her mouth.
"Of course I remember", the scene of the past came to Lin's mind, and she couldn't help laughing: "To be honest, I really didn't expect our 'public lover' to look like that in a white hat and a white apron at that time, if it weren't for that time, I wouldn't know Brother Hanyu." β
"Speaking of which, it seems that Red took us there that time! Do you say that at that time, did you really not know whether the leisure house was opened by the hippo family or pretended? "It's really hard for women to gossip, and the past events of decades ago can make countless associations.
Lin shook her head and said, "Probably not!" You must know that Brother Hanyu was a famous crane tail at that time, repeating grades for three consecutive years, and they all repeated grades with the penultimate results, how could a person who was so arrogant at that time pay attention to him. β
"That's not for sure!" Shizune shook her finger and said, "At that time, in addition to the tuba of 'public lover', Hanyu also had the two equally famous code names of 'Late King' and 'Sleeping Fairy', but Hong never cared about this, but she cared a lot about the statement of 'public lover', which is not like her style." "Shizune's background is closer to Red, and they are both considered famous families in Konoha, so I know Red's character better.
"According to you, it's really possible!" Lin was a little hindsight, and always felt that everyone was so small at that time, how could they have so many ideas.
"It's not possible, it's for sure!" Shizune seemed to think of more things, and said, "Red is very shy in front of boys, but it's a little different when he treats Hanyu, and sometimes he makes some jokes." Moreover, I have seen Red quietly following Hanyu a few times, and now that I think about it, it is really suspicious. β
"Won't it?" Lin suddenly became interested and approached Shizun, to be honest, she had always been curious about the relationship between Hong and Hanyu, and she didn't even know when the two of them started.
Shizune nodded, and suddenly remembered Tsunade, at first, she couldn't figure out that Hippo Hanyu and Tsunade were completely people from two worlds, how could they have intersected? The complicated feelings between them are also like seeing flowers in a fog, and they are not very clear, until she knows that Hippo Hanyu is Yoshino Shota, she understands.
After the initial death, the young Shizune lost all her relatives and became an orphan, and Tsunade took her in and took care of her because of the break, and also taught her medical ninjutsu. During that time, she also often heard people mention Shota Yoshino, and vaguely guessed something unusual about Tsunade's attitude.
From her standpoint, when she was happy for Hong, she felt even more helpless for Tsunade-sama, and she could imagine how sad it was for Tsunade-sama to rush back to their wedding.
"Alas-", Shizun sighed, rubbed the cup in his hand with both hands, looked at the students who were out of school on the road outside, and said: "I thought that Hong had found a good home, but I didn't expect Hanyu to be, it's been almost half a year, and I don't know what happened to Red outside alone." β
"Mute", Lin saw that Mute was really worried about Hong, walked to her side, put his arm around her shoulders and whispered: "Actually, Brother Hanyu is not dead. β
"What?" Shizune hurriedly covered her mouth, this news is too scary!
"Really, Tsunade-sama, the three generations of adults, and Jiraiya-sama all know about this." Lin smiled and said, "Red has his children, how could he be willing to leave them like this?" β
"I'll just say it! Han Yujun was inevitably too treacherous, and actually deceived the whole village. Shizune tugged at her fist, she had been really sad for a long time because of his death.
"But Lynn, you're bad too! They have been hiding from me for so long, and I have been sad and sad about them. After digesting the news, Shizune hammered Rin twice on the shoulder, and she gradually understood why Tsunade was able to recover from the blow of Hanyu's death so quickly this time.
Lin smiled, knowing that Shizune was just pretending to be angry, and she didn't know how to be happy in her heart.
