I ended up quietly putting the decapitator into the game space.

It's like a collection game, there are some things that you may not need in your lifetime, but if you don't light them up, you just feel that something is missing.

And on the way back, the seventh class should no longer encounter any danger, so I am happy to relax, no longer use the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and always check the situation.

The next day, Sister Dou came to the school again to wait for me to get off work - she was going out on a mission again, so she came back to see me before leaving.

As soon as I remembered that Mai had said that there was a time when I didn't know that Danzang had taken me hostage to threaten Sister Dou, and I felt very sorry.

"Sister Dou!"

Seeing that she had spotted me and smiled at me as always, I couldn't help but rush over and hugged her in one fell swoop.

When I think of when I was a child, she did her best to protect me with such a casual smile, I would regret thinking - why didn't I find anything?

"Oops?" Sister Dou was obviously a little caught off guard by me, she let out a surprised syllable, subconsciously raised her hand, hugged me back, and patted my back hesitantly, as if I was still a child. "What's wrong? Did you have any problems at work? ”

“…… No. It is...... I feel very much thank you. ”

"What!" Sister Dou smiled inexplicably: "Why did you suddenly say that?" How strange! Have you encountered anything bad lately? Can you tell me? ”

I didn't know how to express the complicated gratitude in my heart, so I could only hold her silently for a while before I let go of my hand and shook my head, "It's nothing." ”

Sister Dou looked at me suspiciously, in order not to worry her, I showed a bright smile and said, "It's really fine, but I haven't seen Sister Dou much recently, so I feel a little lonely." ”

"Hahahaha, I'm glad you say that. I'll feel lonely if I don't see him—"

"Let's go eat Ichiraku ramen today!"

"I can do it all."

"By the way, isn't Sister Dou going to prepare for the Zhongnin exam? What else do you have to go out on now? Will it be hard? Can you catch it back? ”

"Well, I guess it's okay. It's still a while before the middle ninja exam. Can't you just stop performing tasks at all during this time? Sister Dou looked at me thoughtfully through the round lenses, and replied in a normal tone: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Naruko in the past few days, hasn't she come back yet?" ”

"I think I'm back in the next few days." The last time we met, I told her that Naruko had moved out, and she nodded and said, "That's fine." After all, Naruko is also older. ”

But I didn't mention the holiday with Mizuki - after all, he had already been beaten by me with the Uchiha Itachi, and it wouldn't be so long, and he would have to be taught another lesson by Sister Dou.

"Naruko, they'll also take this shinobi exam." Speaking of this, Sister Dou sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that I was so backward that I had to compete with the children I watched grow up." It feels so bad. ”

"There is no such thing!" I hurriedly said, "Sister Dou is very powerful." ”

"Really? But how do you say that sentence - the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. I heard that this year's Uchiha Sana is very strong, and he has only just graduated from the ninja school, but it is said that he already has the strength of the middle ninja. ”

"Well...... Even if it's a middle ninja, there is a difference in strength. Sister Dou's words, I think I definitely have the strength not to lose to the forbearance! ”

"But I'm in my twenties, right? Zana and Naruko are only in their teens this year. Alas...... It's so envious to be so powerful at such a young age. ”

……

No, if you have to compare yourself with these two and be jealous now, you'll have to vomit blood later......

“…… I feel like Sister Dou seems to be very confused now. ”

"Huh? Did you find out? ”

"Hmm...... Because it became very sentimental. ”

"I'm at that age after all."

"What, I'm in my twenties, why do you say it's like menopause!"

"That's it...... I wondered, what should I do in the future? ”

"Aren't you going to be the director of an orphanage?"

"Poof. Are you really quitting your job? Sister Dou sighed, "But I just think, what is the meaning of life?" Entering a ninja school, graduating successfully, becoming a lower ninja, being admitted to a middle ninja, or dying in a dangerous mission, or accumulating enough merit to be promoted to a ninja, and then performing more dangerous missions to get a good reward, but maybe the savings haven't been spent yet, and people don't know where to die. ”

"So, it's good for Sister Dou to be the director of the orphanage."

“…… However, I always feel a little unwilling. ”

"Sister Dou...... Sure enough, he's still a young man. ”

"Huh?"

"Young people, they always want to go out and have a good time, like me, I just want to live a plain and peaceful life."

"Why do you describe yourself as an old man?"

"Because the mentality has gone through vicissitudes." I said, "Everyone will be confused, about the future, about life...... I won't advise you anything, because everyone ...... You have to go through and experience it yourself in order to find your own way...... But, Sister Dou. ”

"Huh?"

“…… Don't do things that hurt others or hurt yourself. That's the bottom line, right? ”

"But...... We ninjas do things that hurt others and ourselves. Sister Dou smiled helplessly, "You, you've been in school for a long time, and you've forgotten how ninjas fight, right?" ”

……

Except for being accused by Sister Dou of staying in the ivory tower for a long time and thinking a little out of reality, the atmosphere of that meeting was generally good.

And even if Sister Dou felt that I had become too naïve and idealistic, she also promised me that she would complete the task well, protect herself, rush back in time, and then work hard to get admitted to Zhongnin, and the follow-up will be talked about later.

Anyway, I'm really afraid that if she doesn't pay attention, she will take the forehead guard of the sound ninja village and run away with Orochimaru.

But if she really said that the most important person is in Konoha and doesn't go anywhere, I think I should be able to accompany her through this period of confusion.

……

When Sister Dou left Konoha, Naruko and the others returned.

I once wondered if this perfect missed coincidence contained some kind of worldly malice.

"Brother Zhencheng!"

That afternoon, when I got home from work, I saw Naruko sitting wilted in front of my house, holding her knees and staring at the ground in a daze.

"Naruko?!" I was surprised, "Why don't you go to school to find me to get the key?" ”

"Well, because the place where Teacher Qian took us to have dinner is very close to here, a little far from the school. I thought to myself, Brother Zhencheng is coming back soon, so I just come over and wait. ”

I was a little worried, "You didn't wait long, did you?" ”

Naruko stood up and shook her head, one side of the ponytail flicked to her chest as she moved.

"You look very bad, are you tired?"

She was visibly depressed and unmotivated, and I watched worriedly as I took out the key and opened the door.

"It's okay......" Naruko replied in a rare, faint voice.

She followed me into the hallway, changed her slippers obediently, and followed me towards the living room.

Naruto ran over affectionately, coquettishly around her ankles, and when he saw that she was not squatting down and touching himself like before, he immediately ran in front of her, slumped to the ground, and exposed his belly like porcelain.

"Naruto misses you so much." Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh.

Naruko remained silent.

She bent down and picked Naruto up, touched him quietly a few times, narrowed his eyes when he touched him, and when he made a comfortable snoring sound, she finally looked at me, and her always bright and flamboyant expression actually looked a little sad: "...... Brother Masumi, do you know anything about my parents? ”
