"Dad, where are we going this time?"

"Hmm... It's the southeast of the Fire Country. ”

"There's a place called Treasure of the East, and according to the current season, it's a big canyon full of flowers all over the mountain."

"By the way, your mother and I fell in love there."

"Commitment?"

The little girl in the carriage tilted her head for some reason, and the woman next to her said with some embarrassment: "It's not good that you are talking to such a young child now." ”

The man who was sitting in front of the carriage and driving the carriage did not think so, but smiled and said: "Oh, what's wrong, now the children are very precocious." ”

"Our family's Sakura will soon grow into a big girl, and when you meet a handsome guy like Dad, don't let go."

"As for why, let me tell you a story."

The man cleared his throat, looking like he was going to tell an educational story.

"One day the stone and the rice cake fought, and the stone kicked the rice cake into the sea in a fit of rage."

"Later, a pair of lovers, the boy of whom was going to a distant place, made a vow with the girl, and gave the girl a ring as a token of the two."

"Three years have passed, and the boy has not been heard from for three years, and the girl has been waiting for three years but cannot wait for the boy, so the sad girl throws the ring into the sea and leaves the agreed place."

"But in fact, the boy has been waiting for the girl, but the girl misunderstood the place of dating, and the fate of the two was missed."

"A few more years later, the boy went out fishing, and guess what he caught?" The man turned his head to the mother and daughter in the carriage and asked.

"Fish!" The little girl with pink hair was the first to answer.

The man shook an exaggerated hairstyle like cherry blossom petals, "No".

"It's the promise ring of the two, right?" This time it was the girl's mother's answer.

"Not really."

"What's that?" This time, the mother and daughter in the carriage asked in unison.

"Rice cakes, of course!"

"Hahahaha! I'm laughing to death! It's so funny! ”

The man leaned back with a smile, and almost didn't catch the reins of the horse in his hand, while the mother and daughter behind him looked helpless.

"Husband, it's so cold."

"Daddy's jokes aren't funny at all."

...

This is an ordinary family from Konoha Village.

The man's name is Haruno, and he is a cheerful, joke-telling man who used to be a ninja in his early years, but now he is just an ordinary person who is engaged in an ordinary profession in Konoha Village.

And the woman's name is Haruno Meibuki, and she is a housewife with a strong personality.

The child of the two is called Sakura Haruno, and like the other three-year-old children in the village, Sakura Haruno now has neither medical ninjutsu nor strange powers, but is an ordinary little girl born in an ordinary family and enjoying the warmth of the family in the swaddling clothes called "parents".

This is a long-agreed family trip, and unlike the usual family hikes near the village, this time the family of three specially rented a horse-drawn carriage and traveled to a place far away from Konoha Village to relive the good memories of those days.

Along the way, the family talked and laughed, and Haruno Zhao occasionally told some cold jokes to liven up the atmosphere, or bragged about his deeds back then.

"You know what? Sakura-chan, back then, your dad and I could run on those big trees, and we could run faster than this carriage. ”

Haruno, while driving the carriage, pointed at the trees on both sides of the road with his whip.

Sakura followed Haruno's horsewhip and looked at the trees on either side, which were as tall as giants for a three-year-old child, and the branches on them were so narrow that they were untenable to stand by common sense.

So Sakura shook her head, "Daddy bragging, it's absolutely impossible." ”

"Oops, how did Dad brag? I don't believe you ask your mother if there is such a thing. ”

Sakura turned her head to look at Mei Fuki, who smiled and nodded, "It's true, your dad was a ninja back then." ”

"Ninja?" Three-year-old Sakura doesn't have a clear idea of a ninja.

"It's the people in the village who fly on the wall, they not only do tasks everywhere, but also protect the people in the village, and your father used to be one of them."

Sakura-chan looked at her father with a little more admiration when she was blown by the bud, but it dimmed after a few seconds.

"But why isn't Dad a ninja now?"

"Uh..." was stunned by Sakura's sudden question, and Haruno didn't know how to answer for a while.

Bud Blowing took over the question at the right time, "For a variety of reasons, so..."

Suddenly, the carriage Haruno Zhao raised his whip, pointed to the other side of the forest and said, "Look! That's the land of bears. ”

The appearance of something new immediately attracted the child's attention, and Sakura quickly moved her young body and looked into the distance through the carriage window, but there was no forest but a forest.

"Dad, there's nothing there." Sakura didn't see anything new in her mind, and turned to Haruno.

"There is a hellish canyon on the border between the land of bears and the land of fire, which is full of poisonous gases and poisonous thorns, and it is too dangerous for us to lean forward to see."

"But if you continue south along this hell canyon, the canyon will become shallower and shallower, and there will be no poison gas there."

"There's a section of the canyon that's full of flowers, and that's the 'Treasure of the East,' and that's where we're going."

"That's not there yet." Sakura turned her head and muttered a cherry mouth.

"Well, Sakura-chan, bear with me."

...

The boring carriage ride lasted almost the whole day, and finally before sunset, the Haruno's family saw the dawn of victory.

"I can see it!"

"Sakura-chan, look, there's the treasure of the East!"

Bud blows Sakura awake from sleeping on his lap, and then carries Sakura, who is sleepy-eyed, to the carriage window.

At the end of this forest, there is a shallow and wide canyon.

The twilight of the sun shines a chrysanthemum red glow through the fiery clouds on the horizon, and these rays shine into the canyon, making it clear that there is a beautiful sea of flowers in the canyon.

This is a wonderful scene that Sakura has never seen before, and it instantly catches Sakura's eyeballs.

"Wow! It's beautiful! ”

"yes, it's still the same as it was back then."

Sakura and Meibuki, mother and daughter, were looking out at the beautiful scenery in the distance, but suddenly the whole carriage came to a stop, and Sakura's head hit the window frame of the carriage due to inertia.

This angered Mei Fuki, moved to the carriage, lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "Why did you drive the carriage, you hit your daughter's head when you stopped so quickly." ”

And Haruno, who was driving the carriage, didn't care about Bud Blow's accusation, but raised his hand to the road ahead.

When she looked up, she saw several thick trees lying horizontally in the middle of the road ahead, blocking the entire road.
