Naruko told me something about what happened in the country of waves, saying that she had met a very beautiful enemy, and she thought it was a big sister, but she didn't expect it to be a little brother;

She said that he told himself that when people have people who want to protect, they become stronger;

She said that she trained with Zana and Sakura, and Akane taught them to climb trees with chakra;

She said that during the fight, Zana stood in front of her and was seriously injured, and she decided to keep Zana a good friend for life.

"Ouch, I don't know who said it before, Zana is really annoying." I teased her jokingly, which made Naruko blush slightly and said, "At that time! At that time, I didn't know her! ”

I smiled and stroked her hair, and continued to listen to her: "The person called Momochi Zai Bu Chop is super powerful—but Akane-sensei is even better." I thought he was terrible at first, but then I found him pathetic...... Brother Masumi...... Shouldn't I sympathize with the enemy......"

"No, I don't. Although there is no hesitation in fighting, outside of fighting, everyone is born as human beings and has their own sufferings...... This shows that we Naruko are a kind little girl, a good boy. ”

"Hey, hey." Naruko rubbed in my arms and curled her eyes in satisfaction, "Only Brother Masumi has praised me like this." ”

"How so? And a lot of people like you very much. As more and more people get to know you, they'll find out what a great person Naruko is - you see, Sakura and Zona, don't they like you very much? ”

"Does Akane-sensei like me too?"

"Of course."

"Because she's my dad's student, do you like me?"

"I think that's one of the reasons, but it should be more than that, right?"

"Then why," Naruko said in a somewhat low tone, "I've never seen her before?" ”

“……”

This involves my knowledge blind spots...... I can only ask Kishimoto.

Still, I tried to explain: "...... Well, there must be some reason. ”

Naruko closed her eyes and whispered, as if talking to herself, "...... They don't care about me......"

As she spoke, she was probably tired, and after she closed her eyes, she never opened them again—she fell asleep in a daze.

However, I think that although she doesn't want to be a hero now, heroes are not born to excel everywhere, as if they can save the world in the first place. 、

It's just that at critical junctures, there will always be people who come forward without thinking.

And these people may just feel that they have just done a small thing that is not worth mentioning.

But they are undoubtedly the real heroes.

I think that if one day, Konoha is really in danger, Naruko will definitely step up.

Because she's a good boy.

And stimulated by the four generations of Hokage, Naruko didn't want to go home and live alone for several days, so she stayed at my house for several days.

And then finally, the Zhongnin exam was close at hand in the blink of an eye.

……

I was working in the office that day when I suddenly heard the sound of fireworks exploding outside the window, and when I looked back, I almost thought that Dida had caused some kind of explosion.

Because of Saina, I've been very careful to avoid using Uchiha Itachi lately, so as not to accidentally bump into it too embarrassing, and the eldest sister Hinata usually only appears at Hinata's house, and I don't plan to use this image to be too active outside.

The fourth generation of Hokage is even more prone to causing riots, so I suddenly found that the most convenient character to use has actually become [Shippuden: Uchiha Sasuke].

And when I appeared in the Uchiha courtyard with Uchiha Sasuke, I found that Dida was being suppressed on the ground by the black soil crying and laughing, and the wolf cried and angrily scolded Sana for stealing the fireworks.

The kite didn't show up, it was Zana who was sending the signal.

It may be a bit narcissistic to say that, but my first instinct was that she wasn't trying to get Itachi's attention.

But in the next second, Zana hurriedly said: "The scorpion is out!" ”

I frowned, incredulous, "That's it?" ”

I hid in the toilet on the way to work and pinched the recess and rushed over thinking something big had happened, and you told me it was because the scorpion went out??

Fortunately, Zana quickly added: "After she knew that the lower ninja who came to participate in the middle ninja exam from Sand Hidden Village was coming, she went out!" Kite went to the hospital for a follow-up, and we couldn't stop her. ”

Seeing that I still didn't seem to pay attention, Zana suddenly said angrily: "She said that she was going to see what kind of person Kankuro was!" But her current identity can be regarded as a rebel in prison, right? If she attacks someone else in Konoha, even if it is a ninja from Sand Hidden Village, we Uchiha will be responsible! What's more, are you going to let her alarm the Konoha Shadows! Don't go find her yet! ”

“…… Is the tone of your envoy really reasonable? ”

"Or else?" Zana said coldly: "She and Dida were originally brought back by Uchiha Itachi, right?" Isn't it up to you to take responsibility? ”

…… Wow, it's really Brother Itachi doesn't call anymore, just call the name??

“…… Okay. ”

"After the Shinobi of Sand Hidden Village enters Konoha, he should first visit Elder Chiyo, so if you chase in that direction, you should be able to catch up!"

I sighed and replied, "I see." ”

……

There is only a 10-minute break between classes.

I'd have to get back in ten minutes, which may sound like a bit of a rush, but since Ultraman can kill monsters in under three minutes, it shouldn't be difficult for me to get the scorpion down - of course, if I can keep things under control and avoid fighting, that's the best.

I just hope Scorpion doesn't mess around.

……

"Huh?"

Sakura, who had just come out of the dessert shop with Ino and Naruko, suddenly saw a familiar figure running by, and her eyes widened, "Naruko! The man who just passed by the wall! Is it Sasuke-kun?! ”

"Huh?" Naruko, who had just lowered her head and happily looked at the delicate and cute desserts in the bag, looked up blankly, "I didn't see it." ”

"What! Is that Sakura-chan, someone you know!? Ino was surprised: "A handsome guy of that level!?" His name is Sasuke? ”

The more Sakura thought about it, the more she felt that she was not mistaken, and she hurriedly said excitedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't miss the opportunity!" Let's go ahead and have a look! ”

"Huh?!" Hearing this, Naruko suddenly let out a wail - she didn't have the slightest interest in what Sasuke was, she just wanted to find a place where she could eat dessert happily.

However, who made Sakura and Ino her friends? She had no choice but to follow and chase forward.

……

"Wow...... This is Konoha. ”

On the other side, the shinobi of the village of Sand Hide, who knew nothing about everything, were walking on the streets of Konoha.

Even though I had obtained a lot of information about Konoha in advance, what I saw with my own eyes now was still very different from the feeling of describing it on paper.

Kankuro looked around, and couldn't help but whisper to his brother Juya on the side to share his feelings, "It's so different from Sand Hidden Village. ”

The boy with his light yellow hair tied into a ponytail at the back of his head looked around, also quite curious and excited, but because he was the oldest of the trio, he was more reserved, and only let out a low "um" in response.

With the strict teacher Markey in front and the grumpy sister Sara in front of them, both of them tried to keep the communication to a minimum.
