Chapter 35: The Name of the Flag Tree
…… No matter what man you are, being told that you look like a woman, no matter how great a woman, is probably going to have mixed feelings.
Seeing the subtlety of my expression, Zana opened her mouth to explain, but was speechless. As a result, she turned her face up, as if she was angry with herself—angry at herself for not being good at words.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, I know what you mean." ”
I hadn't been careful to be upset about this kind of thing, so looking at Saona's somewhat worried and annoyed look, I gently patted her on the shoulder and said, "You just haven't been taken care of in a long time." ”
Sana took one look at me, silently ate the rest of the toast, and then walked into the kitchen with a plate and washed the dishes.
So conscious!! of the washed dishes!!
I couldn't help but feel a lot of affection for her, and I thought to myself, what a good boy.
After Sana put the washed dishes in the cupboard, I picked up the ninja bag she had placed on the table, followed her, and carried her to the entrance.
Zana took the ninja bag in my hand, tied it around my waist and legs, and then raised his face, revealing an imperceptible expectation: "I'm out." ”
I was slightly stunned and replied with the standard answer: "Be careful on the road." ”
Hearing this, Zana pursed her lips and curled her eyes, seemingly very happy.
I suddenly had a flash of inspiration in my mind and said, "You asked me to wait for you just to hear this?" ”
"There's something else."
"What's the matter?"
"When I come back...... Zonai pauses, "someone can tell me that you're welcome back." ”
Her dark eyes looked at me, as if she wished I could give her an answer.
But my throat felt like something was choking, and I couldn't speak.
At the end of the day, the Uchiha Itachi is just a doppelganger, a trumpet. My main body and tuba are Masumi. That's the life I really want to live. It's fine to spend one night with Sana once in a while, but if you promise her to stay and become her family......
I just don't have the energy to maintain two identities at the same time.
Gradually, Zona's bright eyes dimmed, revealing a look of disappointment.
"I see." She whispered, "I...... I went to school. ”
Watching her figure gradually leave, I stood still and didn't move, until I waited for the person I wanted to wait for—
A few shadows reappeared. But they were wearing masks, and I don't know if they were the ones I met last night, or if they had already taken a shift and changed people.
"Good work." I sincerely greeted my Konoha colleagues, who were all working diligently for the construction of the village, even though they were from different departments: "If you haven't had breakfast, I can fry you some more egg toast slices." ”
Of course, the dark parts are very professional, and no one responds to me.
Looking at my uniform, one of the ninjas said in a hoarse voice in disguise, "Put down your weapons, we're going to take you to the Hokage." If there is resistance, they will be punished as trespassers, and they will be summarily executed at any cost. ”
"But," it sounded harsh, but when I stepped into the role of Uchiha Itachi, I just asked calmly, "How do you prove that you are the shadow of the Hokage, not the shadow of Danzo?" ”
It's not that I deliberately dumped the pot on Tuan Zang, I really wanted to ask - after all, I don't want to deal with Tuan Zang right now.
Now the Naruto plot is still in a relatively simple early stage.,I don't want to face the boss in the middle and late stages at this time.,What's the picture? Figure I live a leisurely life now? Safe enough?
It's not like it's nothing.
However, I still give a clear hint about the origin of the Uchiha Itachi - after all, it is not easy for everyone to come out to work, even if it is in the dark, they have to support their families.
So I paused and asked, "By the way, in this world, is there a group of treasures?" ”
With that, I ended the summoning directly.
The Uchiha Itachi disappeared completely, and my consciousness returned to its original body automatically, and I opened my eyes in the office, a little sorry that I didn't have time to observe the reaction of the dark parts after hearing that sentence - if they could realize the key word "this world".
But they were all masked and didn't seem to see anything......
I stretched and found that most of my colleagues in the office had arrived—except for Mizuki, who was still in the hospital.
Iruka is now my senior, probably because we are both orphans and he has always taken good care of me. Seeing that I was "awake", he took a cup of hot water and put it on my table, and said with some worry: "Didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Masumi? ”
And I happen to have a ready-made reason to be sleepy openly: "Alas, in the middle of the night, the senior Inuzuka of the patrol squad called me and asked me to pick up people. ”
As a fellow teacher, Iruka was obviously familiar with this situation, and naturally asked, "Which student?" ”
I shook my head helplessly, leaned back, slumped in my chair and said, "Uchiha Saona." ”
"Zona?" Iruka was also obviously surprised, not at all, "What did she do?" ”
"The patrol squad said she ran to the place where the person had appeared before at night." I looked out the window and raised my chin - after all, the Uchiha Itachi had first appeared not far from the school, and with almost everyone talking about it these days, Iruka quickly understood who I was referring to. "I may have heard that it was the Uchiha...... Just ......"
"Ugh." Iruka apparently agreed with my guess and sighed. "Zona...... It's not easy to be a poor child. ”
Speaking of which, somehow, I thought of her black and white eyes again.
What she wants is actually just a sentence of "be careful on the road" when she goes out, and "welcome back" when she goes home.
“…… Well. I sighed. I don't know what will happen to her in the future. ”
Will he be like Sasuke Uchiha, defect to find Orochimaru, and then embark on what can be called a displaced boyhood?
Going round and round all the way, constantly losing, suffering all kinds of blows, in the end, only Naruto was still firmly reaching out to him, and Sakura stayed where he was unconditionally, as long as he turned back, he would immediately forgive and accept everything he had.
Konoha may have become his only destination in the end.
Maybe in the end, he was tired too, so he wanted a home, but because he wanted to protect the home he had in the end, and the Konoha where this home was located, he had to run around all year round.
It's like a paradox.
But perhaps, it's not a paradox, it's just that he has a new belief - no longer revenge, but a guardian.
With faith, people can have a real place in the world.
"I don't know ...... after graduation," I muttered reassuringly, "who is her leader." ”
"The list is almost set." Iruka said, "I saw it the last time I sent the documents to the principal. ”
"Huh?! Who is it? ”
"It seems to be an elite shinobi called Akane Hagi."
“!??!” My eyes widened and I couldn't help but ask, "...... Akane Hagi? Which flagwood? ”
