Naruto's Career

After extinguishing the slender cigarette in his hand, Tianma stood up and turned around to look at the girl standing quietly behind him. The sun shone through the slightly thick clouds, and the wind blew stronger at high places.

xing.

Before he opened his mouth to speak, a strong ray of sunshine shot straight down through the clouds blown away by the wind.

"Disappeared...disappeared?!" The girl who seemed to be exuding a cold aura actually followed the sunshine and slowly faded under the gaze of Pegasus, and then disappeared completely, as if she had never been there.

It never appeared before, just like a dream.

"What...is going on? Is it a hallucination?" Pegasus, who was completely focused, felt the surrounding environment. He was the only one on the empty water tower. He was obviously there just now, how could he...

Chakra surged suddenly and violently in his body, "It's not an illusion!"

Seeing Mingzaki Ming, he silently recited this somewhat sad name. For some reason, Tenma always felt in his heart that he would meet this strange girl again.

Shaking his head, Tianma turned around again and sat in his original position, lighting the remaining cigarette again, but the calm inner lake seemed to be broken by a stone falling into the water, ripples rolled up, and it could never return to its previous calm state.

I was shocked and felt lost in my heart.

After smoking a whole cigarette with some dullness, Pegasus jumped from the water tower. The strong wind brought by the rapid fall rolled up the white windbreaker. Feeling the fierce wind pressure and the rapidly amplifying ground, the somewhat stuffy chest felt better.

many.

Halfway through the fall, Pegasus stretched out his left hand with a thin layer of chakra and pressed it against the body of the water tower that was passing by rapidly. His whole body was absorbed by the water tower, hanging in mid-air to stabilize the speed of his fall. From the top of the tower to the ground, it was like this.

If you fall from a height, even a ninja will be injured.

He gently relaxed his hands and dropped his hovering body again. When he was still two meters above the ground, Pegasus was already ready to unload his force. His knees were slightly bent, his spine was in a straight line with the entire center of gravity, and he landed heavily on the solid ground.

above.

The knees bent with the momentum to relieve the pressure, and then stood up straight. The white windbreaker swept back slightly, and the Pegasus walked slowly and slowly along the road and further away.

But he didn't realize that as another cloud layer passed by the sun, on the high tower behind him, a girl with short hair and red eyes was looking at him quietly. The wind from the height was caressing the girl's flying hair and skirt, and her pale cheeks.

There was no expression on his face, "Igarashi...Pegasus."

Relieving his sadness, Tenma walked casually along the surrounding roads around the central area of ​​Konoha, and unknowingly came to the area around the ninja school where he had studied for five years.

It was already past 1 p.m., and after stroking his empty belly, Tianma found a small restaurant where he had had lunch for five years.

I walked into the small shop. The shop is not big, about forty square meters. I usually only do business for students from ninja schools who live far away from home. The taste is very ordinary, but the portions are large and there is a bowl of broth as a gift.

, so it is very popular with some student ninjas.

Ninja school started at 2pm, and there were only a few students eating at this time.

I found an empty table and sat down. Before I could order, a familiar voice came from behind me. It was not the voice of the familiar boss.

"Ah~ It's Igarashi-san!" His voice was as gentle as ever.

The person who came in was Ika, Umino Ika.

She was still dressed in a long ponytail and a green chuunin vest, her delicate nose was slightly twitching, and she was holding an extremely short and thin girl with her left hand. Her silver-white hair reflected the same white and tender skin.

The slightly thin lips were pursed tightly, looking very stubborn. The light lake green eyes seemed to contain a thin layer of smoke, and there was a timid dodge in the depths of the aloof eyes, like a deer pretending to be fierce.

.

This is a stubborn and weak child, and Tianma defined the girl in his heart.

"Teacher Ika..." Tianma stood up politely and nodded to the visitor.

Wrinkling her delicate eyebrows slightly, Ika looked at Tianma with a gentle and watery look. "I haven't gone back to school for so long after graduation. That kid Mingxue has been here many times, although every time

If you want me to treat her to ramen... I won’t worry about whether she will grow taller.”

The nagging Ika has deep feelings for Pegasus, no, I should say, every student, and can complain and nag to each student for a long time. This is Ika, gentle, kind, and motherly.

"Ah~ I'm sorry, there have been some things recently, plus tasks and training. So..." Tianma touched his nose in embarrassment. This is a bad habit. A person will do this subconsciously when lying.

action.

Seeing Ika who was still a bit reluctant after his random explanation, Tenma quickly changed the subject, "Have you had dinner, Teacher Ika? And this is..."

"Saruwatari, Saruwatari Ginbei." A voice that pretended to be tough but still looked very weak sounded. The girl seemed to be stubborn and took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Ah? Ah~ I am Igarashi Tenma, just call me Tenma." Tenma, who was shocked by the girl's stubborn expression, introduced himself in a panic.

"Ah, Igarashi-san has become different!" Ika was a little surprised and seemed to have thought of something. Ruoshui's eyes blinked with a trace of ridicule, "I never agreed to let others call me

What about your first name? Only others are allowed to call you Miao!" The word Miao refers to the surname, and the first name is the first name.

"It'll be good if you become more cheerful!" As he spoke, Ika led Saruwatari to Pegasus' table and sat down. "In the past, teachers often worried that Pegasus was too withdrawn and would not be able to find a girlfriend in the future!"

The girl sat down on the stool that was not high next to Ika with some effort, her little feet dangling in the air. Although she pretended to have a cold expression, she was actually listening quietly with her little head lowered.

"Hehe...hehe..." He smiled awkwardly, and then changed the subject again, "What do you want to eat, Mr. Ika?"

"Me? I've already had lunch. I'm here with Gin." Ika was completely fooled and stopped teasing Pegasus, "The little guy doesn't eat well, that's why he grows so thin!"

Although it was a bit strange, Tenma didn't delve too much into it and asked without asking, "Then...what would you like to eat, Ginbei-san?"

"Please call me Saruwatari." The girl replied somewhat coldly, but the next sentence immediately revealed the truth, "Eat dessert."

"Ah? I'm sorry!" When Tianma is embarrassed, he doesn't scratch the back of his head stupidly, but smiles and apologizes.

Ika, who was watching tenderly from the side, unconsciously nagged to lighten the atmosphere, "Yin is just as withdrawn as you were before! She always doesn't like others calling her name."

“The most important thing is that I don’t like eating on time!”

Tenma decided to ignore Ika's nagging, and calmly ordered a dessert and mung bean soup for Saruwatari. He also ordered a soda for Ika who had eaten, and ordered fried noodles, salad, and red bean soup for himself.

Because there were few people in the store, the ordered items were brought out quickly. Tenma clearly noticed the girl's eyes lit up with happiness when she saw the dessert.

"Well, I'm very satisfied." Nodding her head heavily, the girl's originally deliberately cold face showed a happy smile, and then she covered it up again and expressed her opinion seriously.

Tenma couldn't help but feel a little funny, and started to deal with his lunch amidst Ika's nagging.

After finishing the fried noodles and salad, Tianma picked up the chilled red bean soup and tasted it. The only signature of this small shop is a variety of sweet soups, mung bean soup, red bean soup, and black rice soup.

"Ah! By the way~ I remember Tianma, you seem to live alone?"

Tenma, who was drinking soup, suddenly heard Ika's inquiry. He put down the bowl in surprise and asked strangely, "Yes! What's the matter?"

"Is the house you live in big?" Ika seemed a little excited and asked again.

Frowning slightly, he noticed that the girl next to him who was quietly drinking sweet soup froze slightly. He had a vague suspicion in his heart. He took a big mouthful of mung bean soup and replied hesitantly, "Well, it's okay!"

"Ah! That's great!" Ika shouted happily, clasped his hands on his chest, and asked Pegasus with a slightly pleading look in his eyes.

"Then can you help me take care of this child for some time?"

Although he had already made a guess in his mind, he was still so surprised that he almost spit out the red bean soup in his mouth. He swallowed it with some difficulty. Tenma looked at Ika with a begging face in disbelief. Is he so kind and natural? So casual.

Just entrust a cute loli to a man!?

"Can't it?!" Ika was a little disappointed, and her gentle eyes dimmed slightly, "There are already five students living in my house, and it's a bit too crowded. They live alone just like you..."

"Well, it's not impossible, it's just..." Tianma was interrupted by a series of compliments before he could finish his words.

"I knew Pegasus was the best! The kindest! The most sensible..." Ika's whole body immediately became elated, as if he had completed a super S-level mission, and his eyes became bright.

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't live in my house... Yin is a bit withdrawn, and I really don't trust her to live alone."

"...It's just that it's not too far..." Although Ika felt that the image of Ika suddenly changed and became a bit cute, but listening to her words, waves of warmth and emotion filled Tianma's heart. She is indeed a kind and gentle person.

Where is the woman! Although she seems a bit stupid...

"What do you mean, Saruwatari-san?" Tenma ignored the flattering, adorable and stupid little woman next to him, and turned to ask the girl who was still drinking mung bean soup.

"Anything is fine." Gently putting down the empty bowl after drinking, Saruwatari replied expressionlessly, "I've finished eating."

"Ah~oh!" Ika hurriedly drank the remaining soda in his hand, while Tenma took the opportunity to get up and walk to the counter to pay the bill.

"Ah! How can we let the younger generation pay the bill!" Ika took a big gulp of the soda in the bottle, stood up in a panic and took out his wallet.

After waving his hand, Tianma collected the balance that the boss found and said, "It doesn't matter, that's right! At worst, I'll ask the teacher to come back next time!"

Seeing that Ika was still talking, Tianma decisively changed the subject for the third time**, "It's almost 2 o'clock! Aren't there any classes in the afternoon?"

"Ah!" Ika was suddenly startled. He looked up in a panic at the alarm clock hanging on the wall. Sure enough, he was getting angry. Then he pulled Saruwatari, who had already stood up, and hurriedly walked out the door.

After walking out of the door, Ika remembered something. Since he didn't know how much he spent on lunch and had no time to ask, he simply threw the entire wallet to Tianma who was still in the store, "I'm going to class!" he said.

After picking up the small Saruwatari, he rushed towards the school.

Somewhat funny and touching, he caught the pink cat wallet in the air, "I will pick up Saruwatari after school..."

"Got it!" came the vague answer.

"What an idiot!" Pegasus muttered, "There is also a new little guy here."

"I wonder if this counts as living together...?"
