Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

In the early morning, rays of morning light are scattered and the stars are twinkling.

Hongdou's eyes were sleepy, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her slightly red face was filled with unprecedented peace of mind.

The fresh scent of grass and trees lingering at her nose and the soft and comfortable bed made her subconsciously forget her worries and relive the high-quality sleep she had in those theoretical classes at the Ninja School that she couldn't understand.

Wait, I feel like I've forgotten something, this doesn't seem to be my home...

At this moment, Hongdou suddenly woke up from her dream, subconsciously looked around, and finally looked at the familiar voice beside her. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she asked in a trembling voice.

"You...what are you looking at?"

“Hmm… this immature and green scenery may become one of the most beautiful scenery in the world, hehehe.”

Subconsciously pulling the quilt over herself, Hongdou's face was full of suspicion. She just felt a headache. After burying her head in the quilt to take a look, she asked without showing her head.

"We...what happened?"

"What happened? In this short period of time, many unforgettable memories occurred, and I also experienced the youthful splendor and immature scenes..."

Without waiting for Huayue to speak again, Hongdou froze in the quilt for a moment, feeling extremely ashamed and angry.

"Damn you, who told you to describe it in such detail? Pay the price, you Snake Hand!"

Four brown and black pythons suddenly shot out and didn't wait to tie Huayue up. The following words made several small snakes droop weakly.

"Eh? Didn't you say that you would rather take responsibility than give me up to someone else? I didn't expect that Hongdou, who always likes desserts, has no resistance to chocolate with liquor filling, hehe."

Upon hearing this, Hongdou, who was feeling a slight headache, then remembered that she seemed to have eaten something extraordinary last night, and then she completely lost her memory.

In a trance, my face felt like it was burning. I grabbed Uchiha Huayue's collar and said something shameful, and then... we rolled together.

"Wait! Chocolate with liquor filling, why do you have this kind of thing in your house, you bastard?"

After revealing her head, Hongdou couldn't help but glare at her, baring her teeth, with an expression as if she wanted to bite Huayue to death.

"You mean chocolate with liqueur filling? It was a gift from Hong to celebrate my official promotion to jonin. Didn't you also send me a tri-colored dango that day?"

After hearing what Huayue said, Hongdou also remembered that the guy in front of her had become one of the only two ninja trainees in their batch who became jonin.

The other one is a senior two years older than them, Hatake Kakashi, the hero of Konoha, and the son of White Fang.

"I see. Then I can't let it go. Damn Red. Why did she give me chocolate with liquor filling for no reason? She's such an oddball among desserts. She made me..."

Gritting her teeth, Hongdou stared at the handsome face with a lazy expression and a half-smile.

The sun was shining, illuminating that rosy little face. Hongdou's chest kept rising and falling, and she finally made up her mind.

"Hmph, I've fallen into your hands. That's fine. I, Hongdou, will take full responsibility. From today on, you are my man."

"If you dare to attract other men again, I will...I will cry in front of you!"

Realizing that she was most likely unable to defeat the other party, and had no way of stopping him, Hongdou could only grit her teeth and make threats that didn't sound like threats at all.

"Really? Then you can only cry for the rest of your life. Do you need a hug?"

"You! Pervert, pervert, playboy..."

Leaning against that not-so-broad chest and sniffing the reassuring scent, Hongdou wanted to sleep a little longer. She looked lazy and seductive.

Huayue couldn't help but sigh that the expression revealed inadvertently was the strongest weapon to seduce men to commit crimes. Unfortunately, it was only possible to look but not to eat. Huayue didn't want to bear the name of the Dragon King and spread throughout the ninja world...

As the days passed, Orochimaru chose to stop after being warned by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but no one knew what he was planning secretly, not even Danzo.

With the supply of the Land of Earth cut off near the Kannabi Bridge, the successive defeats of the Kirigakure, and Orochimaru's apparent restraint, the Third Ninja World War gradually came to an end.

However, small-scale battlefield conflicts continued, not only between Konoha and other ninja villages, but other ninja villages were also pulling each other's feet, making the entire five major countries in a relatively stable state.

Dark part, 'root'.

The intelligence collected by the Root Anbu was placed in front of Danzo's desk. After Danzo read through them one by one, his long-term ninja vision made him notice an insignificant movement in the Rain Country.

"Akatsuki? An organization founded by a few young people? Wants to bring peace to the Hidden Rain Village?"

His eyes flickered. In the eyes of the five major ninja countries, a mercenary organization of this level was nothing more than a small fight by small brats. However, as the "root" of Konoha, any existence that could threaten the interests of the major countries would be the target of reconnaissance.

After pondering for a moment, Danzo marked the document with information worthy of attention, then looked up and around, his eyes lowered and his expression flickering.

There are many good players among the Root, but because the training of ninjas often takes a lot of time, the secrecy of the Root and the special nature of the mission are destined to not be "translucent" to Sarutobi Hiruzen's Anbu.

"There is a lack of talent. If Sarutobi Hiruzen, that old stubborn man, could have gotten Uchiha Kagetsu into the Root, this child's play Third Ninja World War would not have dragged on until now."

Above the 'root' headquarters, dead leaves were falling, and a slight autumn breeze blew away the scorching summer heat.

In the Hokage office building, inside the mission issuing hall.

Nohara Rin, who had just evacuated from the battlefield and was helping at the Konoha Hospital, was called into the hall and received a mission.

"A medical mission on the front line... I'm going to the front line again. Will I see anyone familiar to me this time? It's better not to see them. After all..."

As a ninja of Konoha and a rare female medical chunin, Lin had no objection to the mission of going to the battlefield. She had learned to live with the blessings of her friends, but she still did not want to go through the same pain.

Unconsciously, Lin walked aimlessly on the path.

The sky gradually darkened, and a drizzle fell on the grass leaves that refused to bend. Drops as big as beans accumulated, slid down the roots, and moistened the soil.

At the edge of Konoha, near a seldom-visited training ground, Lin stopped unconsciously and looked at the familiar figure, a bright smile appearing on her hesitant face.

"Hanazuki? Is that Hanazuki? What are you doing here? Practicing?"

The person sitting on the boat turned around and smiled brightly under the familiar three-eyed fox mask.

"If a flower represented a person, what would you be?"
