Chapter 53 Mingzi, come and help...

Hatake Sakumo just glanced at the girl who was pressing Jiu Xing to the ground and crying bitterly without saying anything more.

His instinct told him that the girl didn't look like she had any intention of hurting Jiu Xing.

He turned to look at the silver-haired man beside him and said with a smile:

"Kakashi, I didn't expect to see you grow up so early."

Kakashi looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression.

To him, the man in front of him was the man who had the greatest influence on his life.

He is both his kind and gentle father and his serious and responsible teacher.

"Father……"

He felt that the trip was worth it just to be able to see his father again.

"Hehe, the me on your side is no longer here."

Hatake Sakumo smiled at the man in front of him who was vaguely taller than him.

"you?"

"How did you..."

Kakashi looked in astonishment at the man in front of him who seemed to care nothing about his life or death.

"Your eyes have everything written on them..."

Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi's exposed eyes, a slightly emotional look appeared on his face and he said:
"You must have had a hard time these years..."

"Father……"

Seeing Kakashi hesitant to speak, Hatake Sakumo understood.

He patted Kakashi's shoulder and said:
“Those hardships will pass.”

"We will become stronger after going through all kinds of hardships. No matter what difficulties there are, they will not defeat a man."

"Kakashi..."

"You are my son..."

Kakashi looked at the man in front of him whom he hadn't seen for sixteen years. He opened his mouth but nothing came out.

He just lowered his head and uttered a dull,

"Ah."

—

"Go early and come back early..."

Jiu Xing watched Hatake Sakumo taking Kakashi to the Hokage Building, and then looked at the shy Uzumaki Naruko beside him.

At this moment, Mingzi was like a little kitten, with tear marks on her face. She blushed and didn't dare to look at him, but kept looking elsewhere.

But he still carefully and secretly observed his "father".

"Naruko?"

Jiu Xing called her name.

"What, what are you doing..."

The girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails pursed her lips, her face flushed a little, and turned her head away from Jiu Xing.

"We go home."

Naruko was a little stunned.

Home……

This word only appeared in her dreams.

She once dreamed that she had a father, a mother, and a younger brother...

But I couldn’t see their faces clearly in the dream. Every time I approached them and wanted to see their appearance clearly, I woke up...

Now, as a twelve-year-old "father", should I take her home?
Even though he had realized that the boy in front of him, who was younger than him, was not his real father.

But she could feel the other person's chakra...

So warm, so lively, just like me...

Whether it was the blood flowing in the body, the chakra on the other person, or the face that was similar to that of the boy in front of him.

Without exception, they all told her.

The person in front of her is really her father...

"What are you doing standing still?"

Seeing Naruko standing there in a daze without moving, Jiu Xing grabbed her hand and led her towards her home.

Mingzi stared blankly at the boy who was pulling her away. For some reason, she couldn't help feeling a little sour in her heart.

"Um, father, father..."

Naruko wanted to call out for her father, but she couldn't.

After hearing what Naruko said, Jiu Xing turned around and looked at her, showing a strange smile and said:
"Don't worry, I don't mind having such a big daughter all of a sudden."

"But don't you find it weird?" "Just call me Jiu Xing."

"certainly……"

Jiu Xing suddenly came up to the blonde girl, pinched her face and said with a smirk:

"If you insist on calling me dad, I'd actually be happy with that."

"You, what are you doing!"

Mingzi blushed and pushed away this unreasonable "father", rubbing her face angrily.

How can there be such a person...

He looked concerned about me one second, and made fun of me the next.

Looking at the angry look of the girl in front of him, Jiu Xing couldn't help but smile.

"Let's go and see my house."

"Of course it's your house too."

Looking at the boy in front of her who still had a bit of baby fat, Mingzi felt a little more relieved.

Humph, a strange guy, but surprisingly I can't hate him...

Soon, they arrived at Jiu Xing's so-called home.

As Jiuxing pushed open the door, everything in the room was revealed in Naruko's blue eyes, which were exactly the same as Kaoru's.

The brown floor of the living room, the green potted plants by the window, the dolls on the warm-colored sofa, the unwrapped paper towels on the coffee table, the neatly arranged tableware in the kitchen...

Everything seems to reveal the breath of life...

Mingzi's azure eyes trembled slightly, and she was a little afraid to go in.

Jiu Xing just said that this is also her home...

Is it possible for her to have such a home full of life?
"What are you standing there for? Come in quickly. I think Xun will be here soon."

"We're going to prepare a surprise for her!"

Jiu Xing looked at the girl with golden twin ponytails in front of him and couldn't help but smile widely.

Kaoru...

What a familiar name.

Naruko thought hard about where she had heard of this name.

Suddenly, she saw the Hokage Rock outside the window.

In her world, there is a fourth rock statue.

The fourth Hokage, Namikaze Kaoru...

But why is the Fourth Hokage with his "father"?
Is it possible...

Mingzi's heart trembled, and she couldn't believe her own guess.

If, if that's the case...

Then why...

Why……

Why do you treat me like this...

Did I do something wrong...

Seeing that Naruko was still standing there without moving, Jiu Xing pulled her in.

Then he took out slippers from the entrance and put them on her, then said with a smile:

"Naruko, what do you want to eat?"

"My cooking skills are very good~~"

Looking at her young father who was looking at her expectantly, Naruko opened her mouth, her voice a little dull.

"It will be all right……"

"Eh?"

"It's the most troublesome thing to be able to do anything and be casual~~"

"But that's for others. It doesn't bother me."

Jiu Xing smiled knowingly. As smart as he was, he naturally knew what Mingzi was thinking.

This is a girl who shows her thoughts on her face.

Although he felt sorry for the girl, this was all he could do.

He couldn't keep Mingzi, all he could do was try his best to take good care of her...

Uchiha Obito has eaten the food cooked by Kushina, so Naruko eats the food she cooks, which is no worse than Kushina's.

"Naruto, come and help~~"

Hearing the boy's familiar greeting, Mingzi responded sullenly and walked into the kitchen with warm lights...

　Please read on. I have put the picture of Naruko in the book circle. If you are interested, you can take a look.
