The strong man who came out of the fire shadow

"Aoki, what's wrong with Tsunade-sama asking you to go?" Shizune asked curiously when Aoki came back.

"It's nothing. I just performed well recently. Tsunade-sama specially encouraged me."

As he spoke, he raised the curler in his hand.

"Wow, Aoki, you are so awesome." Shizune looked at Aoki with envy.

Aoki touched his nose in embarrassment. Could I tell you that I was quite frightened?

"Okay, go to work, you can do it if you practice hard." Aoki encouraged Shizune.

"Yeah" Shizune nodded fiercely, and then went to work enthusiastically.

As for the curls in his hands, Aoki had already taken a look at them on the way back. They were all some medical ninjutsu experiences and tips. They were the foundations Aoki lacked the most, and they were just right for Aoki's current situation.

……

three days later

For Konoha's New Year's Festival, the hospital also gave them a few days off, so Aoki got up early.After praying for the parents in this world, I got ready to go out.

"Heidou, come on, let's go out." Aoki shouted to Heidou on the table.

"Meow~" Aoki felt his shoulders sink, and Heidou had already jumped onto Aoki's shoulders deftly.

"Heidou, you have gained weight." Aoki teased Heidou on his shoulder.

"Meow~" Black Bean stretched out his paw and slapped Aoki's fingers off, as if to protest Aoki's statement.

"Hehe~"

Aoki was invited to Yuhi Hong's home, holding a prepared gift in his hand.

"Happy New Year, Hong."

"Happy New Year, Aoki."

At Kurenai Yuhi's house, Aoki saw Kurenai whose face was flushed with excitement. She was wearing a brand new pink kimono with a white cherry blossom pattern painted on it, which made Kurenai Yuhi's face even cuter.

Aoki couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched Yuhi Hong's little face.

"Hong, you look beautiful in this outfit."

"Really! Aoki."

Yuhi Hong pulled up her dress happily.

As if inspired by Aoki's words, Kuro Dou on the shoulder also stretched out his paw and patted Hong's cheek.

"Meow~"

"Yeah, Heidou, I miss you so much."

Saying that, Hong extended her devil's claws towards Black Bean.

"Meow~?"

Entering the house, there was a festive atmosphere with lights and colorful decorations, and Yuhi Mahong, wearing a loose kimono, was busy.

"Uncle Zhenhong, happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Aoki, wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Let me help you, Uncle Zhenhong." Aoki hurriedly stepped forward to help.

With Aoki's help, they quickly had breakfast and went to play on the street together.

Konoha's New Year's celebration is very lively. Although it has not yet reached the festival time in the evening, there are still many festive things hanging on the road.

For example, there are fountains made of straw and leather ropes, and some people place pine and bamboo in front of their homes.

On the street, children are running on the road with toys, and their laughter can still be heard.

Yuhi Hong also smiled very happily, holding in her arms many snacks and gadgets that Yuhi Ma Hong bought for her, and Aoki also gained a lot by the way.

Black Bean had long been abandoned by Kurenai, and could only return to the shoulders of its master, Aoki. Its meowing sounds seemed to accuse Yuhi Kurenai of liking the new and hating the old.

Time passed unconsciously, the weather began to get dark, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street.

In addition to a few people who need to be on duty, the usually busy ninjas also took off their ninja uniforms, put on brand new clothes, and participated in the night festival together.

Various performances began to appear on the streets.

There are open-air dramas, where people dressed in strange costumes perform various bizarre stories of gods and ghosts.

There are various puppet performances, and the lifelike little puppets always attract children's shouts and screams.

"Aoki, this candy man is delicious, you should try it too." Hong kept talking, and the candy man in his hand had been stretched out in front of Aoki's eyes.

"Thank you"

"By the way, why haven't you seen Asuma lately?"

Aoki wondered, Asuma would usually appear next to Yuhi Kurenai during this busy time.

"Asuma is going to participate in the family festival. The Sarutobi family is a big family in Konoha. For such an important occasion, direct subordinates like Asuma have to participate in the whole process." Yuhi Mako explained at the side.

Although the Sarutobi clan in the original squadron is rarely introduced, the Sarutobi clan is actually a big family. It is only because of the control of the third generation Hokage that it appears to be more and more low-key.

After shopping, it got late, and Yuhi Mahong took Kurenai and Aoki to a popular barbecue restaurant.

'BBQ Q'

It is said that this shop is owned by the Akimichi clan of Konoha. They are proficient in all kinds of delicacies and are a veritable foodie clan in Konoha.

Because it was a rare festival, Yuhi Zhenhong also generously ordered a lot of ingredients.

This is also the best meal Aoki has had since traveling through time.

As expected of a foodie family in Konoha, there are indeed unique ways to prepare ingredients for various delicacies, even black beans can make your stomach bulging.

It wasn't until two hours later that a few people walked out of the barbecue restaurant after eating and drinking.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Uncle Zhenhong."

"Haha, come to my house more often when you have time."

Yuhi Mahong smiled and patted Aoki's head.

"I will, Uncle Zhenhong."

"Goodbye, Aoki." Hong returned the black beans in her arms to Aoki.

"Bye, Red."

After saying hello, father and daughter Aoki and Yuhihi Mako went home respectively.
