Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

Page 284

Because of what happened last night, Aoki Pheasant's reputation has completely spread.

In just one night, everyone knew that the man who only lived in legends was back. As long as there was no urgent matter at hand, they came to visit Qing Pheasant and cast curious eyes.

Aokiji has white hair and stands out among the black-haired Uchiha clan. It is not difficult to find him.

"Senior Qing Pheasant..."

The Uchiha members all greeted Aokiji. After waving goodbye to a clan member, Aokiji said in a relaxed tone, "I can't believe that after all these years, I'm still quite popular in the clan."

After walking around in the clan, Itachi continued: "Next, shall we go to the center of the village?"

Qingzhi thought this proposal was a good one: "Okay, let's go."

Just as he was about to leave, a girl's voice came from behind, revealing joy, but it was not that he was looking for Qing Pheasant, but someone else.

"Itachi..."

"Izumi..." Itachi glanced at the pretty girl who called his name and had tear marks on the corners of her eyes.

"Your girlfriend?" Qingzhi also noticed this girl, raised his eyebrows, and said in a playful tone: "At your current age, puppy love is not allowed. Be careful I snitch on Fugaku."

When someone said these words in front of the person she loved, Izumi still felt embarrassed even though it was mostly in a teasing tone.

Itachi's eyes were calm: "We are friends..."

Izumi's clear eyes showed a disappointed look.

Aokiji patted Itachi on the shoulder like he was familiar with it: "You're kidding, I won't tell Fugaku. After all, uncle, I already have a girlfriend in your grade..."

Itachi:......

Izumi's eyes moved away from her crush and landed on the white-haired boy.

Because of what happened last night, Izumi also knew about Aokiji's return. He asked in an uncertain tone: "Aokiji...senior?"

Qingzhi hummed and teased: "Itachi's girlfriend?"

"Um, ah, no."

Izumi blushed.

Qing Pheasant chuckled twice.

After actually meeting and talking to him, Izumi found that this senior was unexpectedly easy to talk to. She thought he would be the taciturn type like Itachi.

And why does it look so small?

Quanmei was full of doubts about this.

She was a measured girl, so she didn't ask much about this kind of thing.

Because she had other things in hand, after saying hello to Itachi and Aoki and introducing herself, she left quickly.

Looking at Quanmei's leaving figure, Aoki pheasant was thoughtful.

He was quite impressed with this girl.

He turned to Itachi and teased: "She is a good girl, don't let her down."

"She and I really don't have that kind of relationship..."

"Then you don't like her?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Itachi was surprised to find that he hesitated.

If this had happened before, he would have given a negative reply without hesitation.

Even though Izumi supported him without hesitation, he saw it all.

Unknowingly, this girl has left an indelible impression on his heart...

After a long time, Itachi lowered his eyes and eyelashes and replied: "I am not very interested in this kind of thing right now."

"Lie...you were hesitant just now."

"...Uncle Qingzhi, why are you so concerned about my personal feelings?"

"Probably because I have experienced the pain of loss, so I hope that my descendants can be happy in this regard."

Qing Pheasant's voice became inexplicably sad.

"..."

"Just like parents always hope that their children can make up for their childhood regrets, right?"

"..."

"That person is gone, and my heart is dead... I think I won't be interested in other women in the future."

It's because of Tsunade...

Itachi could see the sadness from the tears in Aoki's eyes. This was different from the hypocrisy before. This time he showed his true feelings: "Uncle Aoki..."

"Itachi, can you fulfill uncle's wish?"

"Well, you tell me. I will definitely try my best."

"Be my son."

The blue pheasant stretched out its right hand like a white beard.

"???"

"I'm no longer interested in other women, so I will probably have no children in the future, so I thought... eh, wait for me, don't leave..."

……

Even though he tried every means to persuade him to stay, Itachi left regardless of his efforts to stay...

Qingzhi put his hands on his hips, shook his head, and laughed at himself a few times: "Now, this is the only way I can relieve the pain in my heart."

He looked to the horizon and secretly swore: Tsunade, I will definitely resurrect you.

352. Chapter 352 Kakashi

Chapter 352 Kakashi

On the street, Aokiji, accompanied by Itachi, looked around at the surrounding buildings and pedestrians as he walked: "The village is really lively."

Itachi looked around and nodded in agreement. The beauty and peace of the village was what he wanted to protect.

"It's just a pity..."

The green pheasant drawled a long note meaningfully.

Itachi asked: "What's the pity..."

Qing Pheasant said casually: "Nothing has changed."

Even after decades, the village remains unchanged.

Itachi lowered his eyes slightly, chewing on the meaning of these words, wondering if Aokiji was sending a message of dissatisfaction with the village.

If one sentence is understood in two ways, there will be no two different meanings.

There is no change. At best it is called stability, at worst it is called decay.

Itachi looked at Aoki's face without revealing anything, and regardless of the other person's fake mask of smile, he felt that the other person might be expressing more of a secondary meaning.

Aokiji had no intention of expanding on the topic, so he changed the subject: "But having said that, do you know where Orochimaru is now?"

Itachi was silent...

"How come you don't know him?" Qingzhi smiled and said, "Don't tell me that he is dead. Otherwise, he should be very famous in the village for his talent. It is impossible that you don't know him."

"That's not true, it's just..." Itachi didn't know what to say next.

"It's just...what..." Qingzhi followed these words and asked.

Itachi swept around silently. The streets were full of pedestrians. The matter about Orochimaru's defection was really inappropriate to start here.

He planned to take Qing Pheasant to a quiet place to have a detailed conversation, but a familiar lazy voice came from in front of him, interrupting his actions.

"Hey, isn't this Itachi? It's really rare that you can walk on the street with such a big show, and you're with other people..."

Itachi looked forward. Standing in front of him was a thin young man with white hair, a mask covering his face, and a forehead protector hanging diagonally to cover his left eye.

In addition to him, there was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing next to him. He was already dressed in green and had a watermelon hair style, which could not help but give people the impression of a watermelon.

Kakashi...

Itachi looked at the young man with his face covered, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Kakashi is both a prestigious elite Jonin in the village and a member of the Hokage ANBU.

If he appears here, does it mean that the top management has taken action and started testing?

He was overly concerned about this, Kakashi and Gai were just passing by.

Itachi had already organized the words in his mind to respond, but unexpectedly, the uncle Aoki Pheasant next to him took action one step ahead of him.

I saw him walking forward and patting Kakashi on the shoulder familiarly: "Huh? This is not Shamo. It's been a long time since I last saw you."

Being called that, Kakashi looked confused.

Hatake Soshige is his father's name.

He looks very similar to his father, so it is understandable that some people mistake him for his father.

But it was very strange that the question came from the mouth of a child who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, and he still looked very familiar.

Aoki looked at Kakashi and said strangely: "Speaking of which, why are you still so young?"

He wasn't so clumsy as to admit his mistake, but he said it deliberately out of fun, and also to pave the way for what would follow.

The young man with watermelon hair approached Kakashi: "Kakashi, do you know this guy?"

Kakashi shook his head: "I don't know him at all. Didn't you hear what he called me?"

After saying that, he looked at Itachi with a questioning look in his eyes.

Perhaps Uncle Aoki mistakenly recognized Kakashi as Kakashi's father. Itachi was helpless that such a funny thing would happen. He introduced:

"Uchiha Aokiji...the elder of my clan."

The young man with watermelon hair looked at Qing Zhi's childish face, with a confused look on his face: "Elder? Are you kidding me?"

Itachi probably knew what Kai was thinking, and explained further: "Don't look at him like this, but he is actually several years older than my father."

"Uchiha Aokiji...?"

Kakashi was quite familiar with this name, and he matched it slightly in his mind. He didn't know if he didn't search, but he was shocked when he searched: "Wait a minute, you said this is... that person?"

Itachi nodded: "Yes."

Kakashi suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder the white-haired boy in front of him mistook him for his father.

But hasn’t he been dead for many years?

And why do you look so young...

There was a mystery in Kakashi's mind.

Qing Pheasant said strangely: "Shu Mao, you have been acting strange since just now..."

Itachi explained from the side: "Uncle Qing Pheasant, this is not White Fang, he is White Fang's son..."

"White Fang's son?"

"Yes." Aokiji suddenly understood: "Oh, no wonder..."

Kakashi said in surprise: "This is really surprising."

Qing Pheasant asked: "Where is your father?"

When this question was mentioned, Kakashi looked a little sad, but he quickly cheered up: "Father, I have been gone for many years..."
