I, Naruko, don't want to be Hokage

"come over."

"What else.. What?" Sasuke became a little impatient. After apologizing, he wanted to walk out of this infirmary right away... It's too shameful for his self-esteem!

"Call you over~"

But Naruko's call still made him retreat, he didn't want to be rubbed on the ground by a few shadow clones...

In desperation, Sasuke still walked to the bedside, seeing Sasuke walking over, Naruko just smiled.

"Put out your hand."

After saying that, Sasuke stretched out his hand, but saw Naruko pull up his fingers, clasping the index finger and middle finger and Shikamaru's index finger and middle finger together.

"This is the seal of reconciliation, and we will be friends from now on..."

Sasuke looked at the four interlocking fingers in front of him in a daze, at Shikamaru's surprised expression, and of course at Naruko's gentle smile at this time...

Everything...

all..

so familiar...

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe it was just a moment, but it seemed so long to Sasuke at this time...

"Okay! I'm leaving!"

Finally, Sasuke got a little angry, pulled his finger away with all his strength, and left the infirmary without looking back...

Once again only Naruko and Shikamaru are left in the infirmary...

Naruko just looked at Sasuke by the bed, and watched his back disappear at the door of the infirmary.. Finally, he closed his eyes...and said nothing...

"Hey, what did that mean just now?"

Regarding the silence of the scene again, Shikamaru raised a question this time. He didn't think Naruko would do something meaningless, and judging from Sasuke's reaction, things might not be that simple.....

"Sa...Shikamaru can I ask you something?"

"No, please..."

Knowing that Naruko is not in danger now, Shikamaru leaned his body against the wall at the head of the bed, showing deep disgust on his face, and decisively rejected Naruko's request...

"Sasuke...I always like someone...to be brave...so..."

Naruko ignored Shikamaru's refusal and continued talking...

"..."

"So... can you be his friend?" Naruko turned around, with a reassuring smile, and looked at Shikamaru on the bed again, only this time Shikamaru really felt Naruko's There's no danger in smiling...a little...

nothing...

Shikamaru looked at it in a daze, he felt a little strange, why he chose himself, he also doubted whether this was another prank, but unfortunately there was no trace of falsehood written on Naruko's face...

But I can't help but sigh in my heart: So you will show this kind of smile well...

"why?"

Again, Shikamaru chose to ask questions..

Why?In fact, Shikamaru can probably guess the reason. He has heard about the Uchiha massacre, so he can roughly understand that Sasuke is lonely and needs friends... But he is also very curious, why Naruko chose himself ?Obviously it could be someone else. Besides, when Sasuke left at the end, his expression obviously changed. Compared to these Naruko, he is Sasuke's friend...so...

why?

"Sa~~"

Naruko stood up again and walked towards the door.

The smile on his face gradually became calm, and he looked into the distance as if he was watching something..

Because I can't do it alone..

Sasuke needs more reliable companions to let him out of the shadows...

Let him now learn to believe, learn to rely on...

If it were you, your intellect will definitely come in handy... You will definitely become Sasuke's reliable partner...

Also...and because

"Because... I promised someone, I promised him that Sasuke would make friends at school..."

.......

...

"must..."

...

..

(so please...help me...)

Chapter 8 History is always strikingly similar

"The above is the report for this time..."

In Hokage's office, three ninjas in green shirts finished their report on the mission and were waiting for Hokage's answer, or the next step instructions...

And Sarutobi also hesitantly put down the document about the content of this mission after listening to the report, and after adjusting the direction of the body that was originally sitting on a slant, he had a headache and pinched his brow with his right hand, making it a little messy thoughts...

Orochimaru....his "protégé"....

Yes, the report he received was exactly information about the movement of Orochimaru, and the author of the report was also one of his apprentices - Jiraiya...

Every time he simply reads the documents related to Orochimaru, he can't help but fall into deep thought... He would never have thought that the person who had excellent ninjutsu accomplishments in terms of strength and reputation back then, even as Hokage The out-and-out genius who made up for it later defected from the village...

More importantly, as Hokage, or as his teacher, he failed to prevent this farce from happening...

Although I sent a lot of manpower to chase after him, I can't say that I don't have a soft heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reduced the number of investigators after he defected... so that now only Zilaiye is left alone, persistent Looking at my "best friend"...that's all...

But this is not the reason why he has a headache now, because he feels that he has done this kind of thing too much, but what makes him a little messy now is...

Yinnin Village...

Judging from the report written by Jiraiya, Orochimaru seems to have summoned ninjas for some purpose, and initially established a ninja village...

Of course, Sarutobi doesn't know the purpose of Orochimaru, but because of his understanding of his apprentice's obsession with forbidden arts, he can also guess at all... Now he is one of the reasons why he misunderstood his apprentice It's a pity, and the other is guilt for my own incompetence...

Besides, regardless of the impact of a ninja village, there are things in the report that make him suspicious...

Originally, there were not many pieces, but now they have appeared in his eyes or ears many times..

"dawn"...

An organization called "Akatsuki"...It was also mentioned in Jiraiya's report on Dashemaru's movements in the early days that Dashemaru joined this organization, but even Jiraiya, one of the "Three Ninjas", did not Can find out the details of this organization and related information... Even the simple purpose and specific members of the "Akatsuki" organization are not clear... The only thing I know is that only "Akatsuki" gathers people from ninja villages or countries Major criminals... that is, traitors...

Originally, when Orochimaru first entered this organization and Jiraiya mentioned it for the first time, he didn't pay too much attention to this organization Sarutobi, but one day two years ago, he heard the same from other people. The name "Xiao"...

Two years ago, Uchiha's annihilation...

It was Itachi who asked Itachi about his future plans before preparing to perform the mission..

And Itachi also mentioned that he will be taken in by an organization named "Akatsuki"...

Then it is impossible not to pay attention to this top-level traitor from all over the world...

I don't know how long Sarutobi has been meditating, but the ninjas at the desk are still waiting calmly. They also know that the information sent back by Jiraiya, one of the "Three Ninjas", may not be that simple, let alone let him know. Their Hokage fell into deep thought for a long time...

"Ugh..."

Some heavy sighs echoed in the closed office. Sarutobi finally broke away from the original state of contemplation. After shaking his stiff neck slightly, he looked at the three people waiting at the desk again, and then Immediately picked up the pen, wrote a letter, and it was so heavy that it was stamped with Hokage's office seal..

"Give this letter to Jiraiya."

Without any hesitation, the leader of the three stepped forward to receive the letter. It was not so much a letter as a scroll, and it was specially sealed with a ninjutsu seal...

"Yes!"

The leader replied loudly. He didn't know what was written in the scroll, but he knew that what they had to do next was a very important task. After the leader nodded and signaled, the three left the room...

Sarutobi shook his head after seeing the three leave, and sighed again. In fact, the content in the scroll was very short, only a few short sentences, but he was also very helpless, this time it was necessary to do it so formally. ..

Because Sarutobi wants Jiraiya to go to investigate the organization "Akatsuki" and give up his attachment to Orochimaru, he knows that this may be difficult for others, but from his judgment, this is the right choice.....

I deliberately used a scroll instead of an ordinary letter, and stamped it with a seal to let Jiraiya understand——

This is a mission, a mission from Hokage....

As for Orochimaru, it can only be handed over to the village temporarily...

......

......

Accompanied by the sound of metal collisions, the pitch-black Kunai changed its original trajectory in the air and hit the distant target, to be precise, it hit the edge of the target...

"Tsk..."

Sasuke snapped his tongue, he was very dissatisfied with this result, his ability is really far from Itachi's...

And this is not the training ground where I came here with Itachi...

After Uchiha was destroyed, Sasuke may never have been to that field in the forest again...

The field full of memories for Naruko, in Sasuke's view, the memories that may be left behind will only make him more painful...

Of course, Naruko is not very clear about whether Sasuke has been to that site. Maybe he visited it when he didn’t know. She doesn’t know, but the target hanging on the tree now is still Naruko. She took it from there, she can see Sasuke every day, and she never sees Sasuke leave her sight except at night...

Going to the toilet doesn't count! !

And Sasuke has been practicing desperately, whether it's shuriken or kunai, he began to try to use his Sharingan to explore the moves that Itachi didn't fully give him....

And Naruko was just practicing on his own. Although he hasn't expressed his strong intention to change Sasuke's revenge, at least it is not completely hopeless...

At least in his opinion Sasuke is not so cold and heartless...

Besides, judging from the performance of the previous few days, Shikamaru did not completely ignore his request...

Thinking of this Naruko can't help but smile...

However...

"Why are you giggling all by yourself..." Sasuke saw it...

"..I want... I want you to manage!"

The stuttering but loud answer stimulated Sasuke's eardrums, and Naruko roared inexplicably. After hearing Sasuke's voice, she suddenly felt an indescribable sense of shame that made her blush...

Sasuke, who was also yelled at for no reason, was also stunned. He just accidentally saw this scene, so why was he yelled at again! ? ?

Why? ?

Naruko was so embarrassed that she closed her eyes and stopped looking at Erque, as if she was afraid of revealing something, she turned her head away and continued to practice controlling the chakra in the water polo...

"Humph~"

Sasuke did see Naruko sitting on the branch of the tree with the target under the tree, he just didn't understand if he did something wrong again?But after thinking about it for a while, he really doesn't know what is in Naruko's mind, and he doesn't want to know, because it is completely impossible for him to guess according to common sense, so...

Let's continue to practice, after all, I am not her opponent!It's embarrassing to think about it!

The sound of metal clashing, it didn't take long before I remembered it again...

After refocusing her attention on chakra control, Naruko also calmed down...

I can feel that the chakra injected into the water polo is flowing in the direction I expected, and it starts to rotate in a single direction...

Then speed up, speed up to the faster flow rate that I can control now, not the fastest speed, because I need to try to control some of the chakras to rotate in other directions, if it is too fast, it will affect my control.. .

The clear sky-blue pupils closely observed the changes on the outside of the water polo, and finally the smooth spherical surface of the water polo began to shake slightly, and finally undulated under the action of Naruko Chakra!

After a week, finally after a week of hard work, Naruko finally mastered the preliminary control of the flow of chakra, which made me really excited!I couldn't help holding the water polo with both hands and lifting it high, and my body also subconsciously fell backwards.

"yeah!!!!"

The childish and lovely cheers of the children echoed by the woods by the lake, Sasuke was also attracted by Naruko's cheers and turned his gaze to the tree, but compared to Naruko's joy, his pupils began to gather and shrink ...

"Stupid! Dangerous!!!"

"Eh!!??"
