Chapter 16: Shinnosuke-san, you are a good person

"Ghana~"

As the sun set, Jiu Xing watched Uchiha Naoki limping away at the end of the road, then he picked up his bag and prepared to go back.

Ninjas are very efficient and they were able to repair his house in just one day.

Jiu Xing subconsciously looked up at the tree not far away. Through the gaps between the leaves on the tree and the animal mask unique to the Anbu, he saw a pair of pure white eyes looking at him unhappily.

Looking at the figure, Jiu Xing gave Nightingale a big smile.

The reason why he asked Sarutobi Hiruzen if he could keep Nightingale was that he was indeed quite bored on weekdays, and Nightingale was indeed not like another Anbu Qingluan who was like a wooden man.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of Hyuga Hinata aroused a lot of interest in Jiu Xing.

He really wanted to know whether Hyuga Hinata appeared because of him or because of Nightingale.

It's not that he is narcissistic, but the fact that he came to this world in just the blink of an eye is strange in itself.

Brat...

The nightingale squatted on the tree and looked at the red-haired boy who was waving at him, and complained in his heart.

However, she was not at all surprised that the little kid could discover her.

Based on the intelligence department's targeted analysis of all of Jiu Xing's actions, it has been concluded that the other party is very likely to have awakened the Uzumaki clan's unique bloodline limit.

Kagura's heart's eyes.

The strongest perceptual bloodline limit in the ninja world.

The detection range is dozens of kilometers, which is far beyond the Byakugan.

The previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Lord Uzumaki Mito, also possessed this bloodline limit.

Uzumaki Mito once used this ability in conjunction with the Nine-Tails' ability to sense good and evil, and at the suggestion of Senju Tobirama, he carried out a large-scale cleanup of spies in Konoha. This is something that Hinata Nao only learned recently.

It's not surprising that Uzumaki Kyuyuki could discover my existence, but...

Hinata Nao moved her eyes upwards, and a blonde girl who was standing at the classroom window looking at Jiu Xing came into her sight.

As if sensing Hinata Nao's gaze, Namikaze Kaoru gave her a friendly look.

Are all the kids nowadays so outrageous?
Hinata Nao couldn't help but complain.

It’s fine that Uzumaki Kyuyuki was able to discover me, but how could this Namikaze Kaoru also discover me?

Is my ability to hide so bad?
Without having time to think, Hinata Nao quickly caught up with Jiu Xing.

Looking at the three people going there, Namikaze Kaoru couldn't help but sigh.

I'm so envious...

I'm so envious of those two people who can always stay with Jiu Xing.

After I graduate from the ninja school, should I apply to become an Anbu, and then take on the mission of protecting Jiuxing and stay by Jiuxing's side?
But if this happens, Teacher Jiraiya will be angry, right?
Thinking of her teacher, Xun couldn't help but feel helpless. The teacher had been gone for a year.

The letter he sent back said that he had accepted three junior brothers and sisters in the Rain Country...

Really, has the teacher forgotten that he has a disciple like me in Konoha...

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xun prepared to leave after cleaning the classroom.

It's her turn to be on duty today.

"Hey, Xun, let me help you."

As always, Shinnosuke appeared before her again.

"No need, Shinnosuke-kun, I can do it on my own."

Xun knew what the other person was thinking.

But she really couldn't muster up any interest, even though the other party was the Hokage's son.

But if she refused directly, Xun was worried that it would make the other person sad.

"Oh, it's okay. Classmates should help each other, especially when it's just a small favor."

Under Kaoru's helpless look, Shinnosuke snatched the broom from her hand and started sweeping the floor vigorously.

Seeing Shinnosuke's energetic appearance, Namikaze Kaoru couldn't help but look a little melancholy. "Shinnosuke-san."

Namikaze Kaoru felt it necessary to have a serious and frank talk with the other party.

If Kaoru lets Shinnosuke continue like this, the longer it drags on, the more Shinnosuke will feel that by not rejecting his pursuit, she is tacitly accepting his existence.

This would not be good for either himself or Shinnosuke.

If this confusion continues, Shinnosuke will be working on her in vain and wasting a lot of time.

If she made her attitude clear and straightforward, she could let Shinnosuke know that the way she felt about him was just that of an ordinary friend, and that she was distressed that he kept pestering her like this.

"What's wrong? Kaoru."

Shinnosuke immediately dropped the broom in his hand and ran to Namikaze Kaoru with an auntie smile on his face.

Namikaze Kaoru looked at Shinnosuke who was smiling ingratiatingly in front of her, and sighed in her heart. Her blue eyes like the sky looked calmly at the boy in front of her and said:

"I think……"

—

Shinnosuke didn't know how he got home, and he looked completely distraught.

He thought of what Namikaze Kaoru said in the classroom, and couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

Shinnosuke, please don't bother me anymore. This is also good for you.

I just think of Shinnosuke as a friend and don't have any other thoughts about him.

Shinnosuke is the son of Hokage and should strive to be a role model for all his classmates so as not to bring shame to Hokage.

Shinnosuke-san, you are a good person.

Shinnosuke pushed open the door of his house listlessly, and then a majestic voice sounded.

"came back?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the sofa, looking at the newspaper in his hand, and took a sip of the tea on the coffee table with an expressionless face.

"Well, Dad..."

Shinnosuke responded dejectedly.

"I heard that you like a girl in your class named Namikaze Kaoru?"

Shinnosuke looked up at the majestic father in front of him and went straight into his room without any preparation.

"Don't bother her anymore. She's different from the others."

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored Shinnosuke's abnormality and continued speaking:
"Namikaze Kaoru is a good kid, but don't bother her anymore. You two are not suitable for each other."

"why?"

Shinnosuke asked subconsciously.

"You don't need to know the reason. You just need to know that you don't need to bother her anymore."

Perhaps because he had been Hokage for too long, Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously took on the dignity of a superior.

"Yes, because of Jiu Xing..."

Shinnosuke gritted his teeth and looked at his father in front of him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his son in front of him and said:
"Since you know, that's great. It also saves me the trouble of..."

Bang!
There was a loud slamming sound of a door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned as he looked at his son who slammed the door and walked out.

"Are you going too far? Do you want to explain the real situation to this child?"

Sarutobi Biwako brought dinner to the table and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen worriedly.

"No need. Ninjas need to face all kinds of pressure. He is my son, he will get through it."
