I, Naruko, don't want to be Hokage

The light-colored cherry lips issued a soft guidance, but after hearing the answer, Naruko didn't move on, but stayed in place with a smile, waiting for Wakaba from behind to catch up with her.. .

"Hey! Sister Ruoye" When Ruoye stepped forward and came to Naruko's side, Naruko also took the lead in provoking the topic.

"What's wrong."

"Why is Sister Ruoye's name Tumi?"

Yes, Naruko is a little curious, she seems to have heard this is the name of a certain flower somewhere, but how do you say it?Unknown without much impression.

"Ah~~ name..." Ruoye smiled, closing her eyes slightly as if thinking about something:

"It seems to be the flower that my mother likes... I heard from my father that the tweed flower symbolizes softness and mystery. Although it is a rose flower, it is unusually inconspicuous..."

"Eh~ is it~"

After hearing the answer, Naruko also deliberately lengthened her ending sound, as if she had understood some secret of the sky, "not conspicuous" is very simple, and it fits Wakaba's attire very well.

Taking her own small steps again, Naruko trotted forward...

"Hey, isn't this Tumi? It's rare to come back." A somewhat old voice came from behind Naruko, Naruko turned around again, and it was an old woman in simple casual clothes who was smiling kindly at Ruozi. Ye greeted...

"Yeah." Luo Ye showed her signature polite smile.

"What, is the ninja working hard?"

"No, Granny Yao, it's quite easy."

"Hey, what are you talking about, it's easy for you to come back once a year!" The old man blamed him a little, he was probably Luo Ye's neighbor, and he knew Luo Ye's situation quite well...

"Haha..." Luo Ye smiled awkwardly:

"Then mother-in-law, let me go to my house and take a look first..."

"Ah! Okay, you go back first, I won't delay you..." The old man replied very cooperatively. I don't know whether it was out of enthusiasm or concern, but the old man showed extra kindness to Luo Ye's words...

Although Naruko heard the conversation between the two, she didn't pay much attention to them. Now it's time to come out for paddling, so she doesn't want to think east and west, for fear of this and that, besides, Ruo Ye is watching!So for Naruko, being able to come here now is enough for her to have fun. Not only can she get along well with Sister Ruoye, but she can also hang out casually outside. running around...

On the way to Ruoye's residence, it seems that all the neighbors will greet each other politely, showing a harmonious atmosphere that is rarely seen in the bustling area.

Naruko walked on her own, but her eyes would glance at the popular Wakaba behind her from time to time, until she was blocked by something in front of her, and her head bumped into it, but her body slammed into her ass due to inertia Sitting on the ground:

"Ouch!"

"Ala, ala, I'm sorry, little girl."

A rather hoarse voice sounded above Naruko's head, making Naruko, who had not had time to cover her buttocks, first look up at the big man standing in front of her.

Well... not too big or tall, on the contrary, it looks a little thin, but compared with Naruko, who is only about 1.3 meters tall, she looks a little tall.Naruko opened his eyes immediately and looked at the bad guy who hindered his progress. He was a rare pure gray hair color, with prominent cheekbones, and obvious scars on his right cheek. He was dressed in old clothes. A young man who was [-] years old, Naruko thought he was an old man when he heard the voice...

"It's okay." Seeing that Naruko was still sitting on the ground, the young man stretched out his hand and tried to help the little girl who was looking at him up.

Of course, Naruko stretched out her hand to put it on, but the weird touch brought to her by the rough palm made her feel inexplicably regretful...

However, when Naruko was still feeling inexplicable, the man's hoarse voice sounded again:

"Ah! Isn't this Ruo Ye? Why are you lucky enough to take off your mask today?"

"Please don't say such impolite words, Mr. Wuzhi." Regarding the seemingly unintentional remarks of the man, Wakaba followed up and answered as if nothing had happened, and then ignored the explicit gentleman, and stepped forward to ask Naruko status of:

"Miss, are you all right?"

"Ah!" Originally still in the 'eh?So you two know each other." Naruko in this state immediately realized something, and in the next second pulled out her white and tender hand that was still wrapped in this clumsy palm, and then nodded to Luo Ye:

"Uh-huh!"

The man was a little embarrassed by C's ignorance, but he still seemed to be apologetic, and apologized for his rudeness:

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, just pay attention next time... let's go, miss." Luo Ye just pretended not to care, and pulled up Naruko who was standing aside and listening to the conversation.

Seeing that she was held back, Naruko just obediently obeyed Luo Ye, left the spot and continued to move forward, only slightly hearing some helpless complaints coming from behind:

"Ara, it's really cold..."

......

.....

After advancing for a certain distance, Naruko saw that there seemed to be not many passers-by around, and curiously raised his own questions.

"Just now that person named...is called Wu or something, is it an acquaintance of Sister Luoye?"

Ruoye smiled, and looked sideways at the gossip brat:

"It doesn't count."

"Then why did he know that you are wearing a mask, Sister Wakaba? Is he also a ninja?" Indeed, the identity of Anbu is actually kept secret by many village names. It should be said that members of Anbu will deliberately conceal it as much as possible The fact that I am Anbu, because I deliberately avoided many unnecessary troubles.

People who often know this identity are either relatives, friends or colleagues, so for Wakaba, who is still cautious in doing things, Naruko also put greetings on his head.

"It's not a ninja either." Like guessing a riddle, Wakaba continued to point to Naruko with a playful smile.

"Eh!? What's that?"

If he's not a ninja, he's not a colleague, and if Ruoye said that he doesn't know him very well, then there is basically no answer?

"Pfft~"

Looking at Naruko who seemed to have a few question marks on his head spinning around, his face was full of doubts, but he was trying hard to think, Ruo Ye smiled inadvertently.

"Ah~~ What's so funny!!" Naruko immediately puffed up her small face to protest, and her face became a little rosy, expressing her extreme dissatisfaction with Wakaba's rudeness!

"Okay, okay, I'm not satisfied with you, Miss." Luo Ye stopped the smile on her face, and then answered Naruko with calm words without the slightest emotional fluctuation:

"Yes, intelligence dealer."

......

.....

(I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that Naruko and the village girl are a bit similar, both have blond hair and blue eyes....)

(Then the next step may be the main line that everyone is talking about, but from my point of view, the main line may have started a long time ago, but you don’t think it has anything to do with the main line....)

Chapter 20 Rumors

Information dealers, as the name suggests, make a living by selling or conveying information. In fact, in this ninja world, the existence of such people is relatively rare.The abilities of ninjas can almost replace their positions, so this is actually not only a difficult job, but also an extremely high-risk occupation....

How to put it this way, if you are an intelligence dealer, first of all you must have a very good interpersonal relationship and be able to listen to the Quartet. It does not rule out that many intelligence dealers make a living by connecting with each other; secondly, you must have relatively high skills, no Simply referring to the aspect of obtaining information, let’s not talk about the difficulty of obtaining some similar commercial secrets or state secrets. If you are discovered after obtaining it, you may be chased and killed. The world is full of ninjas. , Give me some money, so I'm afraid I can't find the killer?Another situation is that after you trade the situation, it is not impossible that your trader will be against you, so this position is quite dangerous...

Of course, it was a wild one. Generally, a country or a ninja village has a special intelligence record and management organization. In Konoha, this feature seems to be the work of a part of Anbu. As for other ninja villages, it cannot And I know...

Eh?No, Anbe's work seems to be quite dangerous...

.....

"Information dealer..." Naruko was thinking about something thoughtfully, Ruoye thought that Naruko might be relatively new to this, so he slowly explained:

"Actually, to put it simply, they are just people who sell information. In Konoha, there are also members of Anbu who specialize in collecting information, but..."

"But what?" Naruko raised his head again, very concerned about Luo Ye's deliberately elongated ending sound.

"However, wild ones like this are quite rare, but for people like intelligence dealers, it's good to know them, and it's best to have less contact with them..."

"Why?" Isn't this kind of guy who can get favorable information a good thing?Naruko listened to Wakaba's explanation unexpectedly, but finally asked a question in confusion.

But who knows, Ruo Ye shook his head slightly, then looked at Naruko who was waiting for an explanation, and continued to add:

"Because, you will also become intelligence, won't you?"

Wakaba Brown Gold's eyes looked at Naruko, looking quite serious, as if teaching Naruko:

"Information dealers are the most honest, but also the least trustworthy professions. For example, Miss, you bought an information and you paid a hush money, but if someone else offered a higher price, your information would not be retained at all. necessary."

"Moreover, people who do this kind of job not only need to have a good eye for communication, but also have a sharp eye. Any small action of yours may be a valuable reasoning for him, and finally convert him into useful information. But again, the stakes are pretty high for them to do that."

"So, generally, the less you have contact with, the less you will be exposed, so Mr. Wuzhi must have already guessed that I am a member of the Anbu, based on my actions or other sources of information."

Naruko listened with gusto, showing an expression of "so that's the case", indicating that Naruko has understood!

However, this caused Luo Ye to show a smile...

"Okay, here we are."

Finally, after wandering for an unknown amount of time, Naruko and Wakaba also arrived at their destination...

It is a somewhat retro wooden house, but it is made of wood, and the walls and beams are still made of simple stone bricks. Compared with the surrounding old but obviously refurbished buildings, it seems a bit backward, but Quite a literary atmosphere.

Maybe it's because Wakaba seldom comes home, so although the handle of the wooden door in front of Naruko is very light, you can still see some dust sticking to it...

"Miss, let's go in." Luo Ye smiled, and finally opened the sliding wooden door casually, signaling Naruko to enter the room deliberately.

"Put on your shoes and go in."

After Naruko heard Luo Ye's invitation, she rushed in unceremoniously.

The inside is quite simple and tidy, except for some small dust accumulations, there is no messy place to be seen.

The crackling sound echoed in the not-so-empty corridor. Naruko seemed very interested in the intelligence dealer's question:

"Then, such a high-risk occupation, how to ensure the safety rate..."

Of course Ruo Ye heard Naruko's question, but she seemed to be leisurely, gently arranging the little shoes that Naruko kicked off, and after finishing the work at hand, she slowly raised her head, with a gentle smile:

"Isn't it okay if everyone who knows is dead?" (Do you know what assassination is? If everyone is dead, no one knows who killed it!!)

"......"

Silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva, I don't know why, facing Ruo Ye's peaceful expression, Naruko felt a chill unintentionally when he said such words, the original smile was still stiff on his face, and he forgot to breathe The general blankly stood in place.

I promise!Guarantee yourself that you will never kick your shoes indiscriminately next time!

After Luo Ye also walked into the house, Naruko waited for Luo Ye's next move, ran around and ran into it, or bumped into something, it would be bad; for example, there are those rooms that cannot be entered. Yes, it would be too rude to run around by yourself.Although I have already lost face, it is necessary to behave not to lose face once in a while!

"Okay, okay, miss, you can go shopping for a while, it's not big, you can probably have lunch later, I'll cook." Seeing Naruko who was holding back something, Ruo Ye lifted Carrying the ingredients she bought in her hand, she didn't know what to say, she had already buried her image as a well-behaved little girl in the soil...

"Yeah!" Hearing Wakaba's instruction of 'casual', Naruko let go of his courage and began to explore in this small wooden house...

"Excluding the living room and kitchen on the right hand side of the corridor, there are four rooms..." Looking at the structure of this wooden house, Naruko opened sliding doors one after another, as if hunting for treasure.But in this kind of simple house, even the decoration looks retro, so there is not much that can arouse Naruko's interest. In the end, Naruko simply opened the door and closed it...

But you still have to finish reading it. When you reach the end of the corridor, Naruko opened the last mysterious room according to the force you remembered before...

Indeed, the decoration of the last room is quite different from the plain before, with the same beams and the same floor, but thanks to the small mirrors, small cabinets, some curtains and the color matching of tables and chairs, it reflects the Sentimental teenage feelings...

But the most conspicuous thing is the black counter leaning against the corner very neatly, the burnt incense leaves gray roots, the withered flowers are tilted in the dark vase, and the gray and white photos about two decimeters are in the dark frame Inside, it hangs vertically on the wall, and there is a small wooden tablet standing there...

"This is Poppy's room."

Just as Naruko was still immersed in thinking, Ruo Ye's voice broke the silence at the moment, and then Naruko took the lead and walked into the house...

"She...that's..." Looking at the girl with a bright smile in the gray and white photo frame, she also noticed the inexplicable slight sadness on Luo Ye's face, and Naruko probably had a number in her heart...

"Well, my sister..." After finishing speaking, Luo Ye listened in front of the portrait, and finally pulled out the withered flowers on the side from the water, and replaced them with the cherry red bouquet prepared in advance...

"Because it's the same as her name, my sister likes poppies very much..." Ruo Ye's tone was a little lonely, but she was still doing all the work diligently, re-igniting the new incense, the portrait I knelt down on the mat in front of me, and my clear pupils showed loneliness and nostalgia, as if telling everything about myself...

Naruko can also feel the slight depression in the atmosphere at this time, but she can't destroy it without thinking. At this time, it is much better for Luo Ye to recall and think about it than to deliberately break the silence ...

In the end, Naruko also came to the front of the portrait, and when was the appropriate time to worship with both hands, to show his etiquette as a guest...

"Okay, miss...you don't need to stay here anymore, let's cook..." After finishing speaking, Luo Ye stood up, trying not to let herself be immersed in this silent sadness, with a smile on her face Indicating that Naruko doesn't need to cooperate like this anymore...

Knowing Ruo Ye's call quite clearly, Naruko also immediately recovered her previous spirit, and raised her little hand:

"I can help too, and I can cook too!"

"well...."

For Naruko's volunteering, Ruo Ye still benefited a lot. Of course, she could feel Naruko's encouragement to her, and then walked out of the room...

Seeing Wakaba regained her spirits, Naruko also sighed, and looked around casually, except for some huge cracks on a certain wall that she was a little concerned about, there was nothing strange or interesting, and she also kept up with her go ahead....

......

.....

But compared to Naruko's comfort, a certain place is extraordinarily noisy...

"What!!" Sarutobi's stern reprimand echoed in the small office, and he bowed his head a little humbled to the two ninjas standing in front of him at this time.

"Why did you report it now!" Supporting the table with both hands, Sarutobi began to calm down, but he still couldn't hide his anger...

"I'm sorry! Hokage-sama, at first I thought it was just a common rumor, and if you don't pay attention to it, it should calm down, so I didn't expect this to happen, after all!..." One of the ninjas explained the reason in a concise way. ..
