Itachi's immature tone made everyone present stunned, and then they couldn't help but look at Hoshino Mu.

Hoshino Maki's face did not change, he squatted down and looked at Uchiha Itachi with a smile: "I don't think so." But I've always had a relationship with some geniuses, and maybe we've met in a previous life. ”

When Fu Yue behind him heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at his son.

Kazekage-sama said so, isn't it.

Thinking of this, he wanted to test it, but Mikoto suddenly said, "Itachi and Kazekage-sama are really destined, and I must work harder in the future to live up to Kazekage-sama's expectations." ”

After speaking, he smiled and took the little hand of the Itachi, who was about to stop talking, squinted his eyes, smiled sideways to make way of the way, and said, "Don't stand here, come into the house, the meal is ready." ”

As a mother, her attention has always been on Itachi's body.

Based on her knowledge of Itachi, Itachi probably really met Hoshino Maki at one time.

Where would that be?

On the day of the escape, she and Itachi hadn't seen Hoshino Maki until they separated, and she also asked someone to take care of Itachi when they separated, and she didn't hear that Hoshino Maki appeared on the Uchiha's side during the period.

That could only be in Konoha.

And when it comes to Konoha and Hoshino Mu doesn't want to mention it, it's probably not a good thing.

She was afraid that the ferret would ask embarrassing questions, so she interrupted first.

Itachi wanted to say something, but felt the force coming from his mother's palm, and silently swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned, glanced at Mikoto, and could only leave the words at the table to test again.

Instead, he stopped the water, as if he thought of something, his eyes narrowed, staring thoughtfully at Hoshino Mu's back.

The house is not big, and everyone walked two steps to the restaurant to take a seat, although Hoshino Maki was a guest, but after pushing back and forth, he still sat on the top seat.

It's a family banquet itself, so I didn't talk about business, but talked about the unique geography of the country of wind and some interesting gadgets, and with the witty words of Hoshino Maki and the cooperation of the Uchiha Fugaku couple, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"That's right" Hoshino Mu seemed to suddenly remember something, put down his chopsticks, took out a small gift box from his sleeve, put it on the table, and slowly pushed it in the direction of Itachi.

"When we met for the first time, I prepared a meeting gift, I don't know if Itachi likes it or not."

Itachi glanced at Hoshino Maki, who was smiling at him, and turned to look at his mother.

Before Mikoto could speak, she heard her father on the other side say, "Since it's a gift from Kazekage-sama, let's accept it." ”

Hearing this, Itachi stood up and bowed respectfully to Hoshino Makaki, and then held the gift box in front of him with both hands.

"Let's open it and take a look."

Hoshino Maki's words drew everyone's attention to this small box.

Will the big guys say things that don't make sense?

Absolutely.

But people tend to make up their own minds and give him deep meaning.

And if this big man is Kazekage, then his every word needs to be treated with caution.

Itachi reached out to unpack it as everyone watched.

It was a beautiful ornament, and a red full moon hung in the air on the exterior wall of finely polished crystal.

Except for this moon, there are no common stars or clouds, only the red moon in the sky, exuding a strange and cold scarlet moonlight.

Under the red moon, with the black flames as the background, the flaming tongues of fire were like arms of pain, making a final humble prayer to the dark sky, praying that someone would put an end to their endless suffering.

The crystal mirror reflected the ferret's immature face, and the faint red light made him feel a sadness from his bones for some reason, gradually penetrating and enveloping him.

But oddly enough, he doesn't hate the feeling.

Everyone present was silent, speechless when they watched this scene.

Is this a gift for a child?

Which normal kid would love it!

Uchiha Fugaku's face changed, and his gaze wandered back and forth between Hoshino Maki, Gift, and Itachi.

Hoshino Mu's actions are so clear, it is impossible to say that there is no deep meaning.

Combine pre-arrival conversations. What he meant was that Itachi was very talented, but would that talent bring disaster?

"Kazekage-sama, it's better to say what you have to say."

Zhishui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

As someone who has had a lot of communication with Hoshino Maki, he knows that instead of playing dumb riddles with the other party, it is better to ask directly, which can save a lot of unnecessary speculation.

"Yes~ Lord Kazekage, Itachi's child's writing wheel eye, could it be that it has something to do with this red moon?"

As the twin stars of his plan to revitalize Uchiha, although he doesn't show much love for Itachi on weekdays, he has actually always been very concerned about Itachi's affairs, and seeing Hoshino Mu's vague evaluation, Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly asked.

Hoshino didn't answer the two, but looked at Uchiha Itachi and said softly, "The more powerful you have, the heavier the burden on your body. If the shoulders are not broad enough, the burden can be overwhelming. Itachi, you are a kind, family-loving person, if you can't harness this power, how can you protect the person you want to protect? ”

"How the Uchiha clan opened the Sharingan, I don't think I need to say much. The more powerful the pupil technique, the stronger the stimulation it brings to the spirit. Red moon and black fire, they will constantly consume your will. But Itachi, you're a strong kid and I'm sure you'll make it through. ”

As he spoke, Hoshino Mu looked at the anxious Fuyue couple and said, "Itachi has the potential to open a kaleidoscope, and its ability is comparable to that of the shadow. As long as they are carefully taught, over time, the Uchiha clan will have one more powerful ninja. ”

As he spoke, Hoshino raised his glass and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the two of you, congratulations to the Uchiha." ”

This time, the others didn't raise their glasses.

Good news: the potential of the ferret is ceiling-level;

The bad news: he won't necessarily make it to that point.

Hoshino Maki revealed his appreciation for Itachi's talent, but he was obviously a little negative about whether Itachi could withstand the powerful stimulation of the writing wheel eye and the negative impact of the writing wheel eye.

If it was an ordinary person who said this, Fuyue might not care, but the person who said this was able to predict the Kazekage of the Kaleidoscope ability of stopping water, and from the perspective of the patriarch and a father, he didn't want to take any risks even if there was a one percent possibility.

"Kazekage-sama, you should have a way."

Mai Tamin grabbed Itachi's hand under the table and spoke.

This item was not bought here now, and it is said that the star Yemu must have been prepared.

In addition, Itachi had seen Hoshino Maki before, so it was foreseeable that Hoshino Maki must be sure to solve Itachi's problem.

Hoshino Mu shook his head lightly: "As long as Itachi's mind is firm enough, it's not a big problem, and it doesn't need to be intervened too much." ”

But these words did not reassure Mikoto.

'As long as' the latter words, often can't be done.

Even though she has always been very confident in her son, now, she is a little upset.

Just like a person who suspects that he is terminally ill, and the doctor says that he is fine, he just needs to go home and eat well, drink well and pay attention to rest, but he will feel that the doctor is obeying him and making him happy in the last days, but in fact, he is completely hopeless.

"It's not a big problem, it's just a problem, if there's anything you need us to do, you might as well say it."

"Mai Trito!"

Seeing that his wife's tone was so direct, Fu Yue couldn't help but whisper.

Mai Qin also reacted that her attitude just now was too rude, and bowed her head and whispered an apology, but the white palm holding Itachi's hand tightened its strength, which also woke up Itachi, who was intoxicated by the red moon, he glanced at his mother, and then turned his head slightly and looked into the distance.

That's the direction of Sasuke's bedroom.

Hoshino Mu waved his hand disapprovingly, still with a light smile on his face: "Aiko is sincere, understandable." It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that it's mostly psychological, and the growth of the ferret doesn't happen overnight, and I can't be here all the time. So. I can only say sorry. ”

"Then let me be with you."

Itachi's sudden words surprised everyone.

"Itachi!"

As soon as Fugaku was about to speak, he saw Itachi stand up, walk quickly to Hoshino Mu's side, kneel on his knees, and sincerely say in the posture of sitting under the earth (five-body throwing himself to the ground): "I know it's very offensive to say this, but I beg you to accept me!" ”

Hoshino Maki pursed his lips, things were going a little smoothly, but he was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Itachi, don't disturb Kazekage-sama!"

Fuyue stood up and scolded in a low voice.

Itachi is the future of ZTE Uchiha, how can it be sent to Hoshino Mu.

Besides, although Uchiha and Sand Shinobi are now in a partnership, he has not let his guard down when it comes to Hoshino Maki.

What is the Uchiha's position in Hoshino Maki's plans?

It was a meat grinder that consumed Konoha's vital power, a sharp blade hanging over Konoha's head.

If Konoha really someday ceased to be a threat to the sand ninja, would the Uchiha clan still be valuable to him?

Fu Yue's perception of himself is very clear, so he has been wary of the other party in his heart.

After all, no one will tell you in advance when they stab them in the back.

"Itachi, you're an excellent kid, but I'm sorry, I'm usually really busy, and I can't even see the children of the Sand Hidden City Ninja School a few times a year, I'm afraid I don't have time to pay attention to your growth, so you might as well stay with your parents and stay in the Uchiha. After all, for the study of the writing wheel, the Uchiha is the authority. ”

Hoshino refused with a smile, and bent down to help Itachi.

"But they don't understand the kaleidoscope, they don't understand my abilities, do they? Otherwise, now the family would not have only two people, my father and the eldest brother of Zhishui, who opened the kaleidoscope. ”

Itachi was face down, and no one could see his expression at this time, but his words were loud: "Besides, the revitalization of the Uchiha can't just rely on the Hitomi technique, and the fact that they will leave Konoha in such an embarrassment already shows that stuffy cultivation cannot make the family strong." And under your remarkable leadership, the changes in the entire Sand Hidden Village, the entire Wind Country, are unheard of. As the eldest son of the patriarch and the leader of the future Uchiha, I also hope to stay with you, see the scenery above the mountaintop, and learn from the experience of the Great Ninja Village, so I beg you to accept me! ”

As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at Hoshino Mu with a firm gaze, and kowtowed heavily.

Hoshino Mu's outstretched hand hung in the air, a little stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that the weasel would also be so good at licking.

Maybe it's the contrast with the characters in my memory that brings a different experience.,In the same way,Itachi said it to make Hoshino Mu feel more comfortable physically and mentally than others said.。

Hoshino Mu pondered for a moment, withdrew his arm that was about to support Itachi, and said to Fugaku: "Mr. Fugaku, to be honest, Itachi's sincere words touched me a little. It's better to let him go to the ninja school in Sand Hidden City, and let him come back when the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is opened. Of course, if he hasn't opened it by the age of fifteen, you can also let him come back, and there will be no hindrance in Sand Hidden City. Moreover, Uchiha Shinobi Village is not far from Sand Hidden Castle, and Itachi can come back to reunite with you on holidays. ”

When Fu Yue heard this, he also hesitated a little in his heart.

If it's really like Hoshino Maki said, it's not unacceptable.

Itachi goes to Hoshino Makii's side, then the cooperation between the two sides will be closer, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Uchiha Ninja Village, which is currently in the initial stage of construction.

And with Itachi's talent, if there is a guide from the Wind Shadow, it is estimated that he will not be able to awaken the kaleidoscope at the age of fifteen, and it will not be too late to come back when the time comes.

At that time, the most difficult thing should have been passed, and it was just right to take over the banner of revitalizing the Uchiha from his own hands.

It wasn't that he didn't think about whether the other party might covet Itachi's writing wheel, but after a short thought, he put this idea aside.

The reason is very simple, if Hoshino Maki really wants to take away Itachi's eyes, the current Uchiha clan does not have a very good way.

You can't keep the ferret by yourself and the water stop 24 hours a day, right?

It is not safe to leave even one person to guard, after all, the other party is a terrible guy who can swallow Iwain Village, and there are countless powerful ninjas under his command.

Since it is useless to take precautions, it is better to trust the credibility of the other party.

And from another point of view, it is safe to stay with Hoshino Maki.

Konoha's targeting of the Uchiha clan will not stop for a short time, and various conflicts and assassinations are inevitable.

Itachi's current age and strength, once it becomes the key target of the other party, it is self-evident that it is dangerous.

Fugaku's hesitation was undoubtedly a signal, Mikoto glanced at Fugaku's expression, and understood her husband's attitude, she stood up, saluted Hoshino in a dignified manner, and said sincerely, "Then please." ”

Uchiha Shisui watched this scene, and a hand placed under the table clenched silently.

He didn't know why, he always felt that something was wrong, but there was no evidence, so he had to watch Hoshino Maki help up Itachi, and invited Fuyue and his wife to come to Sand Hidden City to visit more if they were fine.

——

"Violet, Deidara, Dou, and now this little imp called Itachi, do you like the little guy very much?"

After the family banquet, returning to the temporary residence prepared by Uchiha Fugaku, there was only a dark part left next to Hoshino Mu, and the dark part suddenly spoke, and under the hood, Furui Mubo's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Poof——!

Hoshino was about to take a sip of tea, but before he could swallow it, he was shocked by the scorpion's words.

"Don't talk nonsense~ I'm not a French priest. I just like to collect potential ninjas under my belt, which is a good thing to do to the detriment of others. ”

Hoshino Mu hurriedly waved his hand to explain, and after speaking, he shook his head regretfully: "Forget it, you won't understand the happiness of the cultivation department." ”

Hearing this, the scorpion frowned slightly, thinking about where this country called France was.

It seems that the last time I heard Hoshino Maki mention this country, he said that many of the people there have dark skin and like to salute.

It's probably on a small island near the Land of Thunder.

The scorpion secretly guessed in his heart.

After Hoshino Mu finished speaking, he drank two sips of tea to suppress his shock, looked up at the clock on the wall, and said, "I'll go back and do something first." ”

The scorpion nodded, and vanished.

When Hoshino opened his eyes again, the wooden ceiling above his head had turned into a metal panel.

He turned his head sideways, and through the window, he saw that it was overcast, and it was raining lightly, and the moisture in the air made the bed under him a little cold and damp.

"It rains all day long, and people should get rheumatism in this kind of weather, right?"

Hoshino couldn't help but mutter.

"That's not something you should worry about, Kazekage-sama."

The metal door creaked open, Xiao Nan walked in with a cold face, and said in a flat tone: "Besides, the puppet won't get sick, right?" ”

Hoshino Maki shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just because you're healthy doesn't mean you won't get sick. Watching this monotonous and boring scene often, I will have psychological problems. ”

"Don't worry, today is the last time, and I hope you don't get a chance to see this scene again."

Xiao Nan turned to the side, made way of the passage, and continued, "Nagato has great expectations for this treatment, and I hope you don't disappoint him. ”

"Of course, I hope you don't let me down either."

Hoshino Maki walked past her, passed by, turned his head and smiled at her.

Xiao Nan pursed his lips, did not speak, and silently followed behind him.

Hoshino Maki walked through the winding metal corridor, the cold rain hit him, Hoshino Maki lowered his head, looking at the pitch-black, black hole-like world below.

I still remember that when I first came to Yunin Village to negotiate with the four generations of Ai, it was not like this, although the whole village was not very energetic, but it was not as lifeless as it is now, and there were not a few pedestrians on the road at all.

"Xiao Nan, do you think Yahiko will like the current Rain Ninja Village?"

Hoshino raised his head and continued to walk forward as he spoke.

After a while, Xiao Nan's voice came from behind him: "When the tumor is pulled out, it always carries some flesh and blood. In any case, the current country of rain is no longer the cowardly ghost who was once bullied. ”

"It's okay to take flesh and blood, but. What if it's connected to the heart? ”

Hoshino Maki's questioning was not answered until he came to the room where Nagato was.

Hoshino Maki walked into the door that had been opened, and the long door was no longer fixed to the shelf as it had been, but in a wheelchair, holding a newspaper from Ichigo Hidden Castle in his hand, and when Hoshino Maki approached, he could still see the date on it.

It was yesterday.

"You're here."

Nagato put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "The newspaper said that "Desert Rose" is about to be released, and I hope to have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes. ”

"Of course, the cinema in Rain Ninja Village shouldn't refuse you, right?"

Hoshino Maki also responded with a smile, and naturally put his hand on the other party's arm, and began to check Nagato's physical condition while continuing to chat with the other party.

"Looks like you're in a good mood?"

"It's ok. Because of loss, we will cherish it more. The thought of being able to re-experience the feeling of stepping on the ground makes me feel good."

Halfway through his words, Nagato shook his head: "You won't understand." ”

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, and I'm worried that it will be too easy to regain it, and it will make you forget the pain you once had."

Hearing this, Nagato looked up at Hoshino Maki, whose eyes were slightly closed.

Is it your own delusion?

I always feel like Hoshino Mu has something to say.

Nagato blinked, looked at the gloomy rainy day outside the door, and said softly, "It is precisely because the pain I have experienced is too much and too deep that I don't want more people to survive like a wild dog like me when I was a child." ”

"Great idea."

Hoshino Maki took his hand from Nagato's arm, responded casually, and began to prepare the medicinal herbs next to him.

Nagato looked at Hoshino Maki, who was concentrated, and said, "Aren't you the same?" From an orphan to a Kazekage, and then to let the people of Sand Hidden City live a well-fed and clothed life, in a way, we are the same kind of people. ”

"No, I'm a selfish person. Those people don't know that I eat high-end ingredients every day, and daily necessities are the most high-end, and my daily expenses can be enough for an ordinary family of three for half a year or even a year. ”

Hoshino Maki picked up the mixed concoction and observed the color, and continued, "Helping them is just to make my life better. The cake in Sand Hidden City is too big for me to eat. Instead of wasting it, I should give them some and they will be grateful to me. ”

Hoshino Makaki's unexpected answer caught Nagato off guard, and after a while, he said, "Your answer is indeed different from ordinary people. ”

Hoshino Maki handed the potion to Nagato and said, "Learn to love yourself first, and then think about loving others." I don't believe that a person who is even worse in his own life can do anything big. Some of the seemingly grand visions that come out of the mouths of those people are nothing more than an escape from reality. ”

Nagato didn't take the potion immediately, but looked up at the other party's eyes, looking at each other, and just when Xiao Nan was nervous and wanted to step forward, Nagato took the potion and drank it all.

"Thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes.

Hoshino Mu looked at the gradually thinning rain curtain outside, nodded, and placed the palm burning with chakra flames on the other party's somewhat shrunken leg.

Nagato felt a warm current spread from his chest to his limbs, as if his body was soaked in a hot spring after a tired day, but when this warm current flowed to his lower limbs, it turned into an extreme pain from the inside out, and his forehead was instantly soaked with sweat.

Immediately, the extreme itching caused a dense layer of goosebumps on his skin.

The numbness and pain alternated, making Nagato's face red, and the loose robe on his body was also wet with sweat, clinging to his bony body.

But Nagato's expression was extremely excited, and he could feel that his control of his lower limbs was rising, and the ups and downs of the muscles in his thighs were also showing that the situation was improving.

Finally, when Hoshino Maki released his palm with a pale face, Nagato propped up the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands and couldn't wait to take the first step.

He staggered and looked like he was about to fall at any moment.

Xiao Nan stepped forward to help, but Nagato waved his hand to signal the other party not to come.

He took a deep breath and took another step, this time visibly calmer than the last.

In the end, although his steps were a little messy, Nagato walked to the gate, and he held the door frame with one hand and looked at the whole picture of Rain Ninja Village.

"Hahaha!!"

With Nagato's maniacal laughter, the already dripping rain became dense again, even more violent than before.

The next chapter will be added tomorrow
