"First, directly refuse to continue doing this mission and return to Konoha to cancel it. But in this case, it will leave a 'failure record'." Uchiha raised a finger.

"Absolutely not!" Uzumaki Naruto shook his head decisively, "This is our first C-level mission out of the village. We must not fail! We must complete it well no matter what!"

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura nodded at the same time.

"Second, catch the people you think are suspicious and beat them up until they tell the truth. But a friendly reminder, if you can't be 100% sure, doing so may also leave a stain on your resume.

"Uchiha raised a second finger.

"Unless it's absolutely necessary... you'd better not do this, right?" Haruno Sakura looked at her two companions and whispered, "It's not a good idea to beat people and force them to do anything..."

"Then we can only choose three." Uchiha raised his third finger, "Hey, who can tell me what it is?"

"Ah!" Uzumaki Naruto was the first to react this time, "Clothes! Remember, right? The priest said that you are more likely to be attacked by ghosts when you wear clothes of priests or mikos! So, if you want to see ghosts, you have to wear those clothes.

clothes."

"You mean, that clothes might be weird?" Uchiha Sasuke asked.

"Yeah." Uzumaki Naruto nodded vigorously and gave a thumbs up, "So, let's borrow clothes tomorrow!"

"I think this is a good idea." Haruno Sakura nodded and said, "If the problem with the clothes is big, we can just take the opportunity to expose each other. Unlike talismans, unless we make the same plant paint, it will be difficult to explain to the villagers

Explain clearly."

"So, the third point is to use the plan to defeat the general's army?" The black-haired boy raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I think it's good."

"Yo Xi!" Uchiha Daizi gave a thumbs up with both hands, "Then do this!" No matter what they do, she and the other Meow Meows and the reliable elders will protect them well, "But,

Before that—"

"Before that?" The three little ones tilted their heads at the same time.

"It's getting late, you should take a shower and go to bed."

"..."x3.

"Hurry up, take turns to take a shower. You are still growing. If you don't sleep well, you won't grow taller." Uchiha said this while showing his own experience, "It was because of my irregular work and rest schedule that I didn't continue to grow.

Height. Originally, I could grow to at least one meter, hey..."

The others looked at her current body shape and recalled her appearance as a cat: "..." You are lying!

Even so, the cubs were obedient and went to take a bath separately.

Jiraiya and Tsunade also stood up and prepared to go back to their own rooms.

After a while...

The door to Tsunade's room.

"Tsunade, get some rest early. See you tomorrow." Jiraiya scratched his hair. After saying this, he paused and said, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" Tsunade opened her door and asked as she walked inside.

"Just..." Jiraiya said a little embarrassed, "We originally agreed to have a happy drinking holiday together, but..." He has always been a very heroic man, informal, bold and neat. But occasionally,

...Well, often, in front of the person in front of me, he will become like this, not knowing what to say or how to do the right thing, just like the young man he once was, stupid and reckless,

Then, I kept making mistakes.

He knew very well that the person in front of him...

Actually, you don’t really want to see your former companions or ninjas from the same village, do you?

It is precisely because of this that over the years...

In fact, he felt that she was able to agree to his invitation this time, as if he was dreaming. He was both incredible and worried that it would suddenly come to nothing. While he was extremely happy, he also despised himself: "At this age, he still looks like a young boy, disgusting.

"Dead". He was obviously thinking "I want to have a wonderful vacation with Tsunade no matter what", but now it has become like this.

Of course, this does not mean that he does not want to see little Naruto. In fact, he has thought of that child from time to time over the years and imagined what he looks like now. Back then... after hearing about Minato, he hurried back

He came to the village and offered to adopt and raise the child, but he was rejected again and again. On this matter, he and his teacher also had too many arguments, and the final result was

…

Like Tsunade, he didn't go back for many years.

Konoha is indeed home, but he is also a wanderer with nowhere to return and no desire to return.

Of course, there is no point in talking about these things now. He was sorry for the child, he was sorry for Minato, and he was sorry for too many people.

Because of this, I don’t want to go back even more...

Therefore, many times, he felt that he could understand Tsunade's mood. He even somewhat understood Orochimaru's mood, but it was impossible to understand everything. After all, the guy who was obsessed with various experiments was somewhat perverted...

"But, Jiraiya," Tsunade turned around and looked at the white-haired man standing at the door, her heart was slightly touched - so many years had passed before she knew it, and she had changed a lot, and so had Orochimaru.

A lot has changed, maybe only this guy who always looks like a fool has never changed. But, this is good. If time can really take away everything, then life will be too boring. I think so

She continued, "You didn't do it on purpose, right?"

"...It was indeed a chance encounter."

"Then there's nothing we can do about it." Tsunade chuckled, "Besides, don't you think those brats are a bit like us back then?"

Jiraiya rubbed his chin: "I think I'm more handsome than Sasuke."

"...Where did you get the confidence to think that you are playing the role of 'Uchiha Sasuke'?"

"..." Hey, this statement is too disrespectful. Although he must admit that Orochimaru was indeed a handsome guy before he disfigured himself. Well, he was only a little worse than him.

"What I care about more than these is," Tsunade frowned slightly and silently said one word to her teammates with her lips, "ninja cat."

Slugs, clams|||toads, and snakes can be said to be creatures that stand at the top of the ninja beasts. People like him and Jiraiya who have signed contracts with top ninja beasts naturally know a lot about some inside information.

To them, girls and young men who claim to be members of the Ninja Cat Clan are somewhat strange.

Jiraiya nodded silently, indicating that he would check carefully later. He could see that the cat-eared girl had no ill intentions toward Naruto and the others. Although the cat-eared young man seemed proud and cold, he also did not show any malice.

Any malicious intent; at the same time, he also believed that Hatake Kakashi would not let suspicious people approach his disciples. But, if those two children were just ordinary genin... Nine-tailed Jinchuuriki and Konoha Uchiha

The last person in the group showed such closeness, trust and even dependence on this group of "ninja cats" that people had to pay attention.

the other side.

The two little ones also quickly finished taking a bath together and got ready to go to bed. Because both rooms have separate bathrooms this time, I have to say that they are much more relaxed and comfortable than before.

As for Haruno Sakura, because she is a girl, she will definitely be a little slower.

"Kakashi-sensei, we've finished washing!"

"You can go, Kakashi-sensei."

"knew."

Kneeling on the floor, Uchiha took out a change of clothes from his cub's backpack and looked at the two cubs with a smile: "I will lock the door between the two rooms when I go there, and I won't come here again.

You guys need to go to bed early at night, you know?"

"I know, Tou Sa-chan~" Uzumaki Naruto ran to the cat-eared girl with a smile on his face, "Good night."

"Well, good night." Uchiha nodded with a smile, then half-jokingly opened his arms, "Would you like a hug before going to bed?"

As a result, the little golden retriever immediately rushed over, leaned down, hugged her neck, and buried his head directly in her neck.

"..." The cat-eared girl was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and smiled. She raised her hand and gently touched the boy's soft and shiny hair, "Huh? My hair is a little wet. I don't want to take a shower.

Are you careful about getting water?"

"like?"

"Really, you have to pay attention to your health, you can easily catch a cold like this." As she said this, she picked up the towel on the side and raised her hand to wipe the boy's hair, "Yoshi, this is fine, but

To be on the safe side, it’s better to sit down for a while and wait until your hair is completely dry before going to bed.”

"Yeah~" the boy replied, swaying slightly.

"Um?"

"No... I just feel... Douzhajiang is sometimes like a sister and sometimes like a mother..." Naruto Uzumaki has had no parents or other relatives since he was a child, and he doesn't know what father's love, mother's love, and brother and sister's love are.

.But with his amazing intuition, he felt for no reason that if there was a mother or sister at home, it would be the feeling the girl in front of him brought to her. She was gentle, warm, and endlessly tolerant and loving. Well, a little bit...

A bit harsh that people don't want to resist at all.

"..." Uchiha's nose suddenly became sour, and her eyes filled with tears. She quickly blinked away the abnormality, and silently gently stroked the boy's hair and back, "Then little Naruto treats me as a sister."

It's okay." As for mom, forget it, because you already have the best mom in the world, little Naruto. One day, you will know this and be proud of her, just like she has always been.

Proud of you.

"Hmm~ Then Ketchup and I are brothers."

The young Sasuke looked up at the sky silently, thinking: You boy, the truth is revealed.

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, the carriers of Asura Chakra and Insura Chakra, aren't they "brothers for generations"?

Hatake Kakashi watched this scene quietly, his heart was sad and warm. If...if nothing had happened, then Naruto would have had a very happy family from the beginning, right? The best father in the world

And the best mother, and then, there are two brothers and a sister... Let's not talk about the brothers, but Lin... will definitely be a gentle sister. So, which sister will Naruto like more? Lin

Sister or sister bean paste?

Unfortunately, the cruelest thing in this world is that everything is impossible.

So, even if you want to compare, how can you compare the living and the dead?

After a while...

Uchiha untied the little golden retriever from his arms, and then opened his arms to the black-haired boy standing aside: "Come on, little Sasuke, let's hug you before going to bed?"

"...Yada." The black-haired boy turned his head decisively. He was not a clingy person like Ga Cranetail, so he didn't need this.

The cat-eared girl laughed, then stood up and walked over, opened her arms and hugged the other person - Hey, the little brother in the family is always so arrogant. He obviously wants it, but says he doesn't want it; if he really doesn't get it, he will

Quietly angry; when asked why he is angry, he will say "I'm not angry!". It can be said to be quite cute~

"..." Uchiha Sasuke pursed his lower lip, then lowered his head and silently rubbed the other person's neck, feeling the overly warm temperature and... the steady and strong pulse.

This is a family that lives well.
