In the city of wind and fire, the setting sun is like a shadow.
A steady voice suddenly sounded.
"I found it, come with me!"
The blue veins on Hinata Haimu's temples popped out, obviously his Byakugan was turned on.
He waved his hand, beckoning his companions behind him to follow.
With a "whoosh" sound, Hinata Haimu, who was riding a snow-white ninja dog, turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, "brush", "brush" and "brush" were heard several times.
A group of ninjas wearing green vests and riding ninja dogs followed Hinata Haiki's figure as they quickly shuttled through the city filled with houses.
…
Kurosaki Toshitatsu's home.
Uchiha Mitsuki sat idle on the wall of the courtyard, his feet dangling from time to time.
‘Sakumo and the others are probably coming, right?’
If the day after tomorrow doesn't come, Uchiha Mizuki will have no choice but to do it himself.
With two oil bottles in hand, Uchiha Mitsuki felt unsure.
Just when Uchiha Mitsuki was distracted, a white ninja dog flashed past like a white light, and directly threw Uchiha Mitsuki onto his back.
Uchiha Mizuki was stunned. Before he could react, the white ninja dog's big tongue was "sucking and sucking" to help him wash his face.
The more the white ninja dog licked, the more excited he became, barking with joy!
"Woof——!"
"Woof——!"
The barking of the dogs caused the ninja dogs not far away to run even harder. After a while, Hatake Sakumo, Hinata Haiki and others who were riding the ninja dogs landed steadily in the yard.
Hinata Haimu had just calmed down when he saw the somewhat unconscious Uchiha Mitsuki being greeted by the white ninja dog on the ground. His expression changed and he hurriedly helped Uchiha Mitsuki up.
The white ninja dog on the side turned a blind eye to Hinata Haimu's movements. It pressed its two front feet on Uchiha Mitsuki's shoulders, and still stuck out its big tongue excitedly and slid up and down Uchiha Mitsuki's face.
Hinata Haiki glared at the white ninja dog.
"Stay away from Mitsuki-sama!"
The white ninja dog continued to ignore it.
Seeing that the ninja dog was still going its own way, Hinata Haimu shouted in a more serious tone:
"Naruto Inuzuka, come and take care of your ninja dog!!"
Inuzuka Ming under the tree looked a little ugly when he heard Hinata Haiki's scolding.
"Chihong, stop!"
'Akahiro is not a ninja dog, but my brother!!!'
Inuzuka Ming felt that he was in the wrong and did not say the second half of the sentence.
At the same time, after hearing the call of his companion, the ninja dog Akahiro retracted his front legs obediently, sat down next to Uchiha Mitsuki, and stuck out his tongue towards Inuzuka Ming, as if he was laughing silly and asking for credit.
Inuzuka Naruto frowned, looking at Uchiha Mitsuki's delirious state from being licked, and looking at the silly smile of his friend who grew up with him on the right, he was extremely embarrassed.
In the Inuzuka clan, the ninja dog's behavior shows its trust and closeness to its companions.
But it seems that Lord Miyue is not used to it...
As for Hinata Haiki, Inuzuka Naru simply ignored it.
'Akahiro didn't do anything wrong, I won't apologize! I'll go find Mr. Miyuki to explain myself later!'
Inuzuka Naru felt a little emotional in his heart.
With the inhalation of fresh air, Uchiha Mitsuki slowly recovered.
He glanced at Chihong with lingering fear.
Last year, when Uchiha Mitsuki visited the Inuzuka clan, the snow-white ninja named Akahiro in front of him sprayed him with urine.
I only licked my face today, which was considered as giving him face.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Mitsuki wiped the thick saliva from his face and smiled bitterly to himself.
Is there shit on his face?
Otherwise, why would Chihong lick so deliciously?
To say that he was angry, Uchiha Mitsuki was not angry at all.
Being familiar with everything about the original time and space, he knew very well that this was just the ninja dog's way of expressing closeness, and there was no malice at all.
Seeing the snow-white Akainu, Uchiha Mitsuki thought of the boy who was scared to tears last year.
After looking around, he found the target under the tree.
Uchiha Mitsuki caught a glimpse of the boy with two camouflage lines painted on his cheeks sulking, and he suddenly had a suspicion in his heart.
He came to Chihong and used his four fingers to comb the hair of the snow-white ninja dog.
"Hey, it's Chihong. It seems like I haven't seen you for a year! You're getting better and better!"
"Woof woof!!! Woof!!!"
The dog barked excitedly, and the sound was full of surprise.
The depressed Inuzuka Naru, who had his head lowered, instantly relaxed his frown when he heard Uchiha Mitsuki's words and Akahiro's joyful cry.
Inuzuka Naru trembled and excitedly cast his eyes on Uchiha Mitsuki.
Last year, I took the opportunity of the Third Hokage to take Uchiha Mitsuki to the clan as a guest.
Inuzuka Naru and his brother Akahiro met Uchiha Mitsuki for the first time.
It was a sunny afternoon, and he and Chihong looked at the young man chatting with his father from a distance, their eyes full of admiration.
As early as two years ago, Inuzuka Ming heard from his eldest brother Inuzukao that this boy named Uchiha Mitsuki once broke into the Hyuga clan in order to save his friends!
And it worked in the end!
Inuzuka Ming's blood boiled with excitement at that time.
Even if he closed his eyes, he could still imagine the brave figure and soaring pride of the young man that day!
After that, more and more news about Uchiha Mitsuki reached Inuzuka Naru's ears.
For example, the Sharingan was opened in order to protect the village.
For example, support the ninjas at the bottom, Matt Dai, etc.
For this disciple of Lord Hokage whom he had never met before, Inuzuka Naru became more respectful the more he got to know him, and the more he admired him, the more curious he became!
He admired the young man's cherishing and devotion to his friends, and wondered what kind of young man could leave so many legends in Konoha.
Inuzuka Naru had imagined Uchiha seeing the moon countless times in his mind, until that day he finally saw it.
The young man has a tall and straight figure, and a pair of dark eyes that seem to have rivers flowing through them.
The young man seemed to feel his gaze and looked at him with a smile.
Shocked, Inuzuka Ming immediately looked away.
With just one glance, Inuzuka Ming felt that he was not disappointed at all!
In his mind, Uchiha Mitsuki should look like this, his eyes are full of wisdom, he is approachable when he is calm, and he is so heroic when he is angry!
Looking at the young man chatting happily with his father in the distance, Inuzuka Naru and his brother Akahiro moved closer to the distance between them little by little.
He sincerely hoped that this time we would not be so close together but so far away from each other!
He really needs someone's approval.
Inuzuka Naru has been waiting for someone who can recognize him and Akahiro at the same time. What is painful is that he has not waited until now.
Growing up, Inuzuka Naru's biggest wish was to protect Akahiro, who grew up with him in the wind and rain, just like Uchiha Mitsuki protects his friends!
Seeing the boy getting closer and closer, Inuzuka Ming was very excited.
In order not to let the young man be disappointed in himself, every expression and every word he said was carefully prepared.
It's a pity that God doesn't always follow people's wishes.
Just when Inuzuka Naru was about to speak, Akahiro, who was connected to him, suddenly rushed out first, jumped up suddenly, and with the boy's surprised look on his face, he drenched the boy from head to toe with urine.
At that moment, he was deeply desperate.
The reason why he has been so lonely over the years is because his friends in the village can't stand Chihong's closeness.
Inuzuka Ming knew very well that Akahiro had no ill intentions and that he was doing this to show his closeness.
But others always stubbornly thought he was playing a prank.
At the beginning, he was willing to explain, but then he gave up.
My heart is already full of distrust, and it is useless to let him talk nonsense.
For Inuzuka Naru, the existence of Uchiha Mitsuki is not so much his idol as it is his hope and sustenance to escape loneliness.
He hoped that this unique young man could give him an answer that was different from others.
He hoped that the boy could accept Chi Hong and accept him as a brother to Chi Hong.
But when his father's face was filled with worry, and when Akahiro hit the ground, it looked like the sky had fallen in Inuzuka Naru's eyes.
Seeing his father's facial features gradually knitting together, he ran towards Chihong crazily.
Inuzuka Ming knew very well that at this time, he was the only one who could protect Akahiro.
As he ran, his eyes were filled with tears of grievance and loneliness.
However, the next second, Inuzuka Ming stopped.
The boy is not angry, he is not angry!
He couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart and let the tears streak across his face and slide into his mouth.
Inuzuka Naru's long expectations were not disappointed.
He tasted the tears with his tongue, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
These tears are not the taste of grievance and loneliness, nor are they as bitter as coptis, but are the taste of emotion and relief, and are as sweet as vanilla!
Immediately afterwards, the young man's gentle words rang in the air, which completely dispelled the haze that shrouded Inuzuka Naru's head.
The young man said to Chihong:
"Are you welcoming me? Hahahaha! But it seems a bit too much!"
In his blurry vision, Inuzuka Ming vaguely watched the boy squat down and gently stroked Akahiro's head.
Chihong stuck out his tongue and smiled innocently.
This blurry picture has been forever in Inuzuka Naru's heart!
At that moment, he was crying and laughing at the same time, like a fool!
It turns out that he and Chi Hong will also be accepted by foreigners!
If it wasn't a dream, that would be great!
Just when Inuzuka Naru was enjoying this feeling, the boy walked up to him, smiled and patted his shoulder and said:
"The ninja dog is well raised! Can I know its name?"
The first one! Master Miyue is the first person to take the initiative to ask Chihong’s name!
Inuzuka Naru was so excited that his eyes trembled, his shoulders trembled, his hands trembled, his legs trembled, and his feet trembled.
He introduced in the proudest voice since his birth:
"Akahiro——!!!"
"Chihong? It's a very nice name! I remember it!"
Inuzuka Ming was filled with joy. After watching the boy leave, he rushed into his father's arms excitedly and wet the clothes on his father's chest with tears.
This is the first time someone accepted Chi Hong!
This is the first time someone asked Chihong his name!
This is the first time someone praised Chihong!
Inuzuka Naru giggled and was moved for a long time because of these simple firsts.
It wasn't until night that Inuzuka Naru realized that he had forgotten to tell the boy his name!
He stomped his feet in annoyance, stomping hard!
He didn't stop until his feet went numb.
Next time, he must introduce himself to the boy!
Inuzuka Naru set a goal in his mind.
At the end of last year, the clan members scorned Uchiha Mitsuki, who became a Jonin at the age of seven, and there was a lot of discussion.
All kinds of unpleasant words were blurted out, such as relying on connections, having a hard background, doting on people, taking jujube pills, etc. It made Inuzuka Ming extremely uncomfortable.
In his heart, Uchiha Mitsuki is definitely qualified to be a Jonin.
No matter what others say, he firmly believes in Uchiha Mitsuki.
Back in the room, Inuzuka Naru thought that Uchiha Mitsuki had become a jounin at the age of seven, and an unprecedented sense of urgency arose spontaneously!
He asked his eldest brother Inuzukao and his father to train him strictly, and he finally got his wish and got the title of Jonin not long ago.
It's just that there is a slight difference between this Jonin title and Uchiha Mitsuki's:
That means the word "special" is added in front of "jounin".
Look! The difference is really not that big at all!
