[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

Late summer of Konoha 52

Five years have passed since the thrilling Third Ninja War. As the special seventh team, the Sarutobi team received a confidential mission labeled A-level.

"A-level mission, are you escorting a dignitary this time?" The team, which has been established for four years, has carried out many outing missions. Based on common sense, Hinata Qing deduced that some of the visiting personnel were about to return home.

"A-level is good. A-level gives you a lot of money, and you can also go on vacation." Uchiha Izumi was thinking about saving some more money to buy the new ninja tool that Neko Granny was interested in in the ninja tool shop.

"This is not a vacation. You are still nervous after sleeping in the open air. Aren't you tired?" Hayata Yu didn't want to leave the village. Before going out today, Chiri specifically told him that she wanted to help him celebrate his birthday and asked him to come back early.

"This time we are escorting scrolls and confidential documents. The location has not yet been determined. We will bring a month's worth of luggage with us when we gather tomorrow." Touching the paint on the mission scroll, Sarutobi Kino felt heavy.Taking into account the previous incident of the Land of Water trying to create a three-tailed Jinchuuriki, this renewal of the contract may not go smoothly.

"Okay, that's it for today. Let's meet here at this time tomorrow. Don't be late."

"Since we are going on a long trip, let's take a day off today and go back to our respective homes." As soon as Sarutobi Kino finished speaking, he heard the cheers of the students.

"Oh yeah!"

"Awesome, teacher!"

"Thank you teacher for understanding."

Phew~ The three students ran faster than the other.

That's all, I've been too harsh on them recently, so I should give them some relief.

After taking over the position of Hokage, I couldn't be their teacher immediately. I always wanted to teach them everything I could during this period, which was really a bit impatient.

"Kakashi, what do you think of my three students?"

"Sarutobi-sama, Hayata is calm and gentle, Hinata is cautious and modest, and Uchiha is lively and smart. These three are all very good ninjas." Kakashi, dressed in black, appeared silently behind him.

"This mission is of great importance. I have applied to the Third Generation to allow you to participate. After successfully completing this mission, you will retire from the ANBU and become their leader."

"Thank you, Sarutobi-sama, for your concern. I have no intention of quitting the ANBU position for the time being."

"Your friend Kai has asked the third generation many times. He has been in a dark and inhumane place like ANBU, which has also had an impact on your psychology. Try to be a team leader. You will have a new understanding of the profession of ninja. view."

"But……"

"Kakashi," Sarutobi Kino said earnestly, patting the thin back of this genius boy, "In addition to killing, ninjas also have a bright side. Killing is of course for the sake of peace on the surface, but ninjas are people first. It’s something else.”

First of all, people... and then the rest. He has been sinking in the darkness for too long and cannot return.Hatake Kakashi was stunned, and the senior had disappeared.

Is this... I'm afraid my wife will nag me, so I ran away first.This gentleman is good at everything except being a strict wife.

Kakashi looked at the Hokage cliff in the distance. Soon, Konoha Village will have another hokage who is a strict wife.

Under the eaves of the sunny day doll floating in the wind, the sun was just right. Nanako, with her belly bulging out, was busy in the kitchen all morning, just begging her husband to come back soon.

"Really, what's the delay this time?" Nanako, who took off her apron, complained softly. Her husband is very considerate and... can tell lies.

What excuse do you want to use for being late this time?

"Nanako, today I..." Sarutobi Kino, who knew he was in the wrong, stood on the porch, not daring to step into the living room.

"Okay, if you can't make it up, don't think about it. Just help me carry it to the living room." Nanako was an ordinary civilian. She put the kitchen window facing the door just to see when her husband would come back.

"Hey, then I'm coming in."

"When are you leaving?" Nanako asked as usual after the warm lunch.

"Eat more, you didn't eat much just now." At times like this, Sarutobi and Kino's advantage in lying was useless.The task this time was very important, and even he was not sure about it. The time and duration could not be determined.

"I can't eat anymore, this kid keeps kicking me." Nanako knew that once her husband changed the subject, it meant that he could not answer the question.

"If you are so noisy, you will definitely be naughty when you come out." He and Nanako had already lost a child, so they valued this child very much. "When I come back, we will hold a wedding ceremony." Sarutobi Kino had already planned to have Nanako stand with him on the top floor of the Hokage to receive the blessings of the people.

"Have you thought about the name of the child?" Nanako smiled softly. She was also looking forward to this child.

"Not yet. When I come back, let's choose one of the names that the Third Generation has prepared."

"The Third Hokage... also had a name?" Nanako was a little nervous when it came to the Third Hokage. She knew that the Hokage was not satisfied with her as his daughter-in-law.

"Well, take a few men and women each, and we will choose together when the time comes."

"it is good."

The sunny doll hanging under the eaves worked. The heavy rain in late summer never came, and the sunny sun lost a bit of its scorching heat and became a bit gentler.

"Well~ that's all, happy birthday, Hayata-kun." Uchiha Chiri can always make all the dishes delicious and delicious, and Hayata Yuya has to admit that she is a good wife.

It was her arrival that made him feel like home after being lonely for many years.

If he continues to be ordinary and stable like this, he will also reap earthly happiness, but...

Uchiha Chiri, surnamed Uchiha.

"What's wrong? It's not delicious?" Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Uchiha Chiri became a little nervous.

She always strives to do her best in front of the people she likes.

But her husband was always hesitant to talk, and there were many things he couldn't share with her.

"You did a good job, Chiri, I like it very much."

"It's been a long time since anyone celebrated my birthday. I'm very happy."

"But you don't look very happy." Uchiha Chiri was a little confused. She rarely saw vivid expressions on her husband, except...in front of her teammates.

"I'm introverted and not very expressive, you know."

With Ruoyou's explanation, Uchiha Chiri sighed. Except for the newlywed period, they had always respected each other as guests.Although she had expected it before she got married, she was still a little frustrated when facing this gentle and calm sweetheart.

She has reached the limit of her abilities. She is not a ninja and cannot... fight alongside him.

"Why have you eaten so little recently? You have lost weight." Sensing the other party's disappointment, Hayata Yu gave her a piece of sturgeon, "I remember you love this most, eat more."

"My appetite is not very good, I'll eat more." Uchiha Chiri's disappointed look disappeared, and his eyes slowly lit up, "You remember that I like to eat sturgeon."

But the overwhelming feeling of nausea soon broke the peaceful lunch.

On the other side of the Hinata family, the lunch atmosphere was more serious.

"Have your recent missions gone well?" When Hinata Hizu spoke, the two children immediately sat up straight.

Although the ignorant Hinata could not understand the conversation between adults, she knew that when her father asked questions, she had to sit up straight and stop eating and drinking.

"Everything went well. We have a mission to leave the village tonight, and the return date is uncertain. Please rest assured." Hinata Qing sat up straight and replied.He has always had respect for the patriarch who raised him after his parents died.

"You have always been a reassuring child. Have you visited Neji?" Hinata Hizashi has always been reassured about the heir he chose. Although he was opposed by the die-hard elders, he insisted on his own opinion. , and raised Qing Bao to the Zong family.Although Hinata is his eldest daughter, her temperament is completely unsuitable for being an heir.Hinata Qing's character and abilities are enough for him to take up his position.

"I've seen it... the caged bird technique is still too cruel for him." Although Ningci is a young man, Hinata Qing can already see his future talent and hard work, so he should not be restrained by the caged bird.

"Wait until you are in my position before trying to change." Hinata Hizu understands what this young man is thinking. The difference between the main family and the branch family has restricted many people. He can withstand the pressure and choose Qing as his successor, except In addition to his parents being kind to him and making great contributions to the family, he had no choice but to comply with his uncle Ri Xiangruo's request during his lifetime.Now it seems that his decision was right.

"When you come back, we will make arrangements for your marriage to Hinata." Not letting Hinata bear the pressure of being the heir is already a kindness of his father, but it does not mean complete freedom.

"Hizu-sama, I think..." Thinking of that adventure in the ice and snow, Hinata Qing subconsciously retorted.

"You know the debate in the clan. You are a genius, and Neji is a genius too. It is not yet time for the caged bird to be completely abolished."

"Yes..." Hinata Qing looked at little Hinata's round, confused face. Hinata still didn't understand anything.Forget it, it's still a long time before Hinata reaches adulthood, he still has time.

He still has a long way to go before he wants a Hyuga clan without caged birds and strict divisions between clan families.At least... there must be a peaceful and stable Konoha Village first, and he is working hard for this.

night.

The late summer nights are no longer sultry, but have a touch of coolness.

Carefully getting out of the thin quilt, Izumi Uchiha was about to take away the luggage that he had hidden beforehand, but found that there was an extra pair of watching eyes in the dark night.

Don't be alarmed, it must be Itachi's - "What? Did I wake you up?"

"Well, where are you going? How long?"

"I don't know, let's go first."

"Come back soon, Sasuke's birthday is coming, and I want you to spend it with him."

"I can't say for sure. Besides, Sasuke with his tough mouth would say this?"

"...Don't go too long, Granny Cat's ninja tools are out of date."

"Then you buy it for me first."

"I don't have that much money..."

"I'm really gone, do you have anything else to say?" Uchiha Izumi, who was about to close the door, asked again.

The moonlight was just right, hitting the other person's long eyelashes, and Itachi's eyes were so beautiful.

"Come back soon, I will remember you."

"Ha~" Izumi Uchiha smiled so hard that his eyelashes curled up, and the other person's small figure was in his eyes, "I will miss you too."

"Cuckoo~Cuckoo~"

"Teacher, everyone is here." Four people wearing night clothes arrived at the meeting point.

Sarutobi Kino frowned, and the ANBU also sent a small team to follow and protect them secretly, but the leader was not Kakashi as they had agreed with before.

Forget it...this personnel change is not worth asking him anymore. Maybe Kakashi has a more important mission.

Compared with this, the scroll in hand was delivered in a tighter time.

"The escort agreement for this mission is strictly confidential. Now, hurry to the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Water."

"Under the Zhongnan Valley, Muzhiyu Village."
