Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Ha...
Looking at the King chess pieces in his pocket, a trace of emotion appeared in Shingen's yellow eyes, and before Shikamaru turned around, Shingen repeated Shikamaru's previous words, which made Shikamaru laugh.
"Excuse me, I just met you, but is this okay?".
Kakashi unexpectedly came to Shingen and put an orange book in Shingen's hand the poker expression on Shingen's face couldn't help but change.
I don't know if I should thank Kakashi.
"Kakashi !!".
But before he could answer, a loud shout interrupted his thoughts, and he saw Tsunade's angry eyes staring at Kakashi.
"Oops..."
Kakashi immediately turned into an afterimage and vanished, leaving only an angry Tsunade and Shizune trying to stop her from chasing Kakashi.
Ino also followed, and she pulled Shikamaru after Kakashi as Kakashi tried to corrupt Shingen.
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Shingen just shook his head and turned to leave, but his back no longer seemed to be as lonely as before.
~two months later~
At the top of Hokage Rock, under a beautiful blue sky, a figure sat cross-legged with his black sword resting on his shoulder.
The breeze swayed his black hair, and his yellow eyes stared at the bustling village below.
"Before I knew it, I was starting to like the view... "The figure said, his eyes still calm, and the poker face on his face did not change.
Another gust of wind blew, black hair fluttered, and the figure closed its eyes, enjoying the rare tranquility. It has been two months since Shingen became a Jonin
His lonely life has changed a lot.
In the past two months, he has taken on many difficult tasks, all because of his strength.
It even included three S-class missions and a dozen A-class missions, completely filling his previous free time.
Choji has been sick for nearly half a month, so he completed three tasks with Shikamaru and Ino and completed the tasks very easily. But even after the separation, Shikamaru and Ino kept in touch with him, especially Ino, who would definitely come to say hello every two days.
Just yesterday, after completing his mission, he was about to go home and pass by the barbecue restaurant, when he happened to run into Ino and her friends Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata also passing by on the same road.
Seeing him, Ino was not afraid of his strength and pulled him into the Yakiniku Kyū restaurant, where Sakura, Ten, and Hinata were also present.
He was a very quiet man and barely attended social gatherings, so being alone among the girls, listening to their constant small talk, was more terrible than fighting with Big Mom.
"Who do you like? Do you have a particular favorite?" The girls asked him the same question in different ways.
But fortunately, following the principle of "as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed", he avoided disaster and did not make jokes.
"Hey...".
Shingen couldn't help but sigh, thinking of this, so much had changed since the day he went out on a mission with Ino and Shikamaru.
"But it's not bad...".
Even though his life has changed dramatically, Shingen knows that he doesn't hate all this in his heart, and he likes this change a little.
"It's time to go back!" After reviewing his life over the past two months, Shingen stood up and was about to go back, but suddenly a shout stopped him.
"Everyone, Naruto Uzumaki is back!!".
Shingen's yellow eyes flickered slightly, and he looked towards the source of the sound and found a blonde boy standing on a pole with his arms outstretched.
"It seems that the gears of fate have turned. "
Shingen muttered to himself, his face still poker face, he knew that the wheel of fortune had begun to turn.
Tsunade was busy working on the documents in the office, and when she heard a familiar voice, she immediately walked to the window with a smile on her face.
"Sure enough, it's Naruto!" Tsunade couldn't make out who was on the pole, but his trademark blonde hair convinced her that it must be Naruto.
"Bring Naruto here, and call Kakashi!".
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!" Tsunade still looked out the window.
"Huh?".
Looking out the window for a moment, Tsunade finally decided to retract her head, but in her peripheral vision, she still saw a figure on the top of Hokage Rock.
The Hokage building is just below Hokage Rock, so Tsunade can easily see someone from such a close distance.
Shingen's eyes and hears domineeringly sense that someone is watching him, and from the breath, he immediately recognizes that it is a stalk.
But there was no change in expression, he calmly turned around and prepared to leave, when suddenly he had a feeling that trouble was approaching.
"Stop, Shingen!" Seeing Shingen turn around, Tsunade immediately understood that he wanted to slip away, and shouted at him.
"Ha ...".
Whoosh!!
Hearing the voice, Shingen sighed inwardly, he knew that his intuition was right, but his poker face did not change, and Shingen disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"Tsunade-sama!".
The next moment, Shingen appeared by the window, stood in front of Tsunade, and greeted her calmly.
"Hehe, where do you want to slip to?".
Tsunade said with a smile, rolling up her sleeves and pretending to be tough, but Shingen's poker face did not change, and he stood quietly in front of her.
"Hah... You're so boring... Come on in... I have some work for you!".
Seeing that he didn't care, Tsunade sighed and rolled down her sleeves, because the only thing she hated about this kid was his lack of interest in everything.
Seriously, you're a young man, don't your hormones drive you to take different actions to get people's attention? Sometimes she thinks that this kid has the soul of an old man in it.
Shingen did not know what she was thinking, he calmly entered the office through the window and stood aside waiting for her orders.
