"Dong dong dong." Kaede Haruno knocked on the office door.
"Please come in." A deep voice came from inside the room.
Kaede Haruno pushed open the door and walked in.
This was his first time entering Naruto's office. He saw that this place was not as luxurious as he had imagined, nor was it as magnificent as he had expected. Instead, it was a little simple and simple.
The room wasn't big. There were bookshelves filled with scrolls and books around the room. There was nothing else. The third-generation successor was wearing a Naruto Bamboo Hat and sitting behind a desk. He was holding a pipe with one hand and smoking with his head lowered. He did not show any reaction to Kaede Haruno's arrival, but Kaede Haruno did not care about that. Naruto's office desk was a solid wood table with a piece of silk cloth with the word " Shadow " on it. " Shadow " was divided into " Scene " and " Three ", with Naruto's logo in the middle.
The third-generation successor exhaled a mouthful of smoke and slowly raised his head. He looked at Kaede Haruno, whom he had not seen for three years, and said,""Kaede Haruno, can a person change a lot in three years?”
Kaede Haruno wasn't used to hearing the third generation's words that seemed to imply something, so he could only reply ambiguously,""Although many things will change in three years, there are still many things that will not change.”
The third-generation successor did not comment on Kaede Haruno's answer, as if he was not going to answer the question in the first place. He continued,"Time can change a lot. It could turn a pauper into a millionaire, and it could also turn a kind and gentle person into a vicious person. It could turn a weak ant into a powerful existence.”After saying this, he paused for a moment, as if to give Kaede Haruno some time to think. Then, he slowly asked,"What do you think? Lord Feng?"
Kaede Haruno could clearly feel that the third-generation successor was hinting at something and could not help but panic." That shouldn't be. My plan should be foolproof, right?”He wanted to explain something to the third-generation successor, but he didn't know how or how to explain it. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
The third-generation successor did not seem to be in a hurry to get an answer. He just lowered his head and smoked silently. From time to time, the smoke would cover the third-generation successor's face. It was hazy, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
" In these three years, I…" Kaede Haruno finally decided to confess after a fierce mental struggle. However, he was interrupted by the third-generation successor.
"I don't want to hear about your experiences in the past three years because I don't want to hear lies.”
Kaede Haruno was just about to explain when the third-generation successor stopped him."Of course, I still think you will tell me the truth, child. But I don't want to know where you've been or what you've done in the past three years. I just want to know what your return to Muye will bring to this village. Prosperity? Or…perish?"
Kaede Haruno hurriedly explained,"No, I…" However, he was interrupted by the third-generation successor.
"Child, let me finish. Do you still remember what I told you four years ago?”The third-generation successor's voice sounded distant, as if he was recalling the scene from four years ago.
"I remember." Kaede Haruno replied with certainty," You told me back then: As long as there were leaves flying, the fire would burn. The shadow of the fire would illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout. The true power of a ninja would only be revealed when he wanted to protect the people he cherished the most. "Ninjas are not as simple as you think…" Her thoughts flew back to that morning four years ago.
Yes, the true power of a ninja would only be revealed when he wanted to protect the person he cherished the most. Kaede Haruno had truly experienced the truth of this sentence. He couldn't help but think of Zhaomei Ming's beautiful figure, but that figure was getting further and further away from him, making him feel a little unwilling and sour.
"At that time, I saw yearning and anticipation in your eyes. The yearning for a better future. I think no matter how much a person changes, his essence will not change. Perhaps my words are not entirely correct, but I am willing to believe that you are still as kind as before.”
Kaede Haruno was touched by the third-generation successor's words. He was so excited that he didn't know how to thank him.
"Child, I don't care why you returned to Muye. I hope that you will be able to reap happiness and happiness here. However, if you do anything to hurt Mu Ye, I will not forgive you!”At the end of his sentence, his tone was mixed with a hint of killing intent.
Kaede Haruno was no longer the young boy who was so frightened by the murderous aura that he couldn't move four years ago. Feeling the murderous aura locked onto him, he smiled faintly and said,""Don't worry, I came back to find warmth and happiness. Why would I do something that would harm Mu Ye? I always saw myself as a Woodleaf person.”
The third-generation successor saw that Kaede Haruno was not affected by his killing intent at all and could not help but think more highly of Kaede Haruno. He teased and probed,"Although I don't know if I've improved in other areas these past few years, my strength has improved quite a bit.”
"Yes, it's alright." Speaking of his own strength, Kaede Haruno revealed a rare trace of pride.
This was caught by the third-generation successor who had been observing him closely. "With your current strength, why do you still have to endure school?”The third-generation successor voiced his doubts.
"I told you, I came back to Muye to find happiness, and among those companions, I can find warmth.”Kaede Haruno smiled happily." Besides…I can't see anything now, so my strength has been greatly reduced. I want to start from the basics and see if there's any way to break it."”
"Yeah." The third-generation successor seemed to be very satisfied with Kaede Haruno's answer. He smiled and nodded. He also knew about Kaede Haruno's blindness through his crystal ball." You can observe the outside world through your own perception. You still have to figure out the specifics yourself."
"Well, I think I'm getting the hang of it now.”
"Alright, let's stop here for today. Enjoy the good time here.”The third generation gave the order to leave.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave first, Lord Third Generation.”Kaede Haruno's attitude was extremely respectful. If Kaede Haruno's attitude towards the third-generation successor had been somewhat disdainful in the past, he was now filled with admiration and gratitude towards this old man.
Kaede Haruno opened the door and was about to leave when the third-generation successor's voice, which sounded like he was talking to himself, suddenly came from behind him."I don't know where Tsuneo went, but he didn't come back to see me. Sigh, if there was Okami, that medical ninja who can cure all diseases, my old stomach disease might have been cured long ago…"
Kaede Haruno didn't hear the rest of the sentence, but he received an important piece of information. There was a person called Okami who could cure all diseases. If that was the case, perhaps his vision could be restored? This undoubtedly brought a spark of hope to Kaede Haruno, who was struggling in the darkness. Kaede Haruno knew that the third-generation successor was telling him this on purpose. He turned around excitedly and bowed to the third-generation successor."Thank you, Lord Naruto!" Then, he closed the door and left quickly. He had to hurry home and tell Haruno Sakura and the others the good news.
Meanwhile, in Naruto's office, the third-generation successor looked at the tightly shut door with a gratified smile on his weathered face. He muttered softly to himself," I hope I didn't misjudge you this time.”After saying that, he raised his pipe and started smoking.
