For Zhang Miao in the past, being woken up by a system notification about the Kyubi fragments every morning was a kind of happiness. At that time, whenever he heard this notification, he would be full of vitality for the whole day!
But now, Zhang Miao's heart was full of complex emotions.
"There is still more than a month before I can recruit the Kyubi. At that time, I should go to the Land of Wind to find a way to revive Minato and Kushina. But Naruto..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao turned to look at Naruto who was playing with a tailed beast wooden statue, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
"This guy is so cute. I wonder if everyone will bully him after I leave. Recently, there seems to be rumors in the village saying that we are not real brothers. This is not a good sign. What should we do?"
Just as Zhang Miao was deep in thought, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Boss, let me help you wash up!"
"Huh?" Hearing this voice, Zhang Miao came back to his senses from his contemplation. He looked up and found that Neji was already standing in front of him with a basin of water.
Seeing this scene, he immediately smiled and nodded. "Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Neji!"
"Boss, you're too kind!"
Nowadays, Yoshi was assgined to guard the Land of Waves, and the Homura was responsible for the affairs of the Wood Sculptures shop, so now only Yuji remained by Zhang Miao's side.
Yuji came from a famous family, and he had a kind of gentle temperament. He was very careful. He also handled the housework in a good order. After a few months, Zhang Miao was somewhat unable to leave him.
Looking at him wiping his face and carefully combing his hair and tying his hair, Zhang Miao could not help but laugh.
"Haha, Yuji, now that you are serving me like this, I am afraid that I am not used to you not being by my side one day!"
"Boss, you are too serious!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Yuji immediately shook his head with a smile, "To be able to die for Boss is the my life goal. When that time comes, there will naturally be someone more outstanding than me who will serve Boss by his side!"
"You..." Looking at his serious face, Zhang Miao shook his head helplessly again.
"I mean when I go far away and you are not by my side, I will not be used to it. It's not about your death! Really..."
When Zhang Miao said this, before he could finish speaking, Naruto suddenly ran over and hugged him. "Where is big brother going?" "Can you take Naruto with you?"
"Uh..."
Looking at Naruto's begging face, Zhang Miao was stunned and then touched his little head with a smile.
"Naruto, didn't you always want Daddy and Mommy?"
"Big Brother, can you find them back?"
"Well..."
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Naruto frowned and thought for a while, then nodded. "Okay, then big brother will take me to find Daddy and Mommy, okay?"
"I'm afraid that won't do!" Looking at Naruto's expectant face, Zhang Miao shrugged his shoulders and then spread out his hands toward him.
"Dad and Mom are far away. Naruto is too small to walk. I still have to carry my rations, so I can't bring you with me. You just wait at home for me to come back, okay?"
"Yean..." Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Naruto bit his finger and thought again. After a long time, he raised his head to look at Zhang Miao again.
"Then big brother, don't go to find mom and dad. Let's wait at home for them to come back. Naruto doesn't want brother leave!"
"... "
At this moment, Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly became moist. He hugged Naruto and put his face on his forehead. Then he let out a long breath.
"Naruto, my love for you is no less than Itachi's love for Sasuke. I will give it my all."
"I only want you to be less painful and sad. One day, you will become the hero of all attention. For that day, even if my hands are stained with blood and my feet are piled with bones, I will have no regrets in falling into the darkness forever!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Yuji, who was standing at the side, suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"The boss' will is our mission!"
The atmosphere in the room became inexplicably heavy. Even the young Naruto realized something was wrong, but he was too young to tell what was wrong. So he could only blink his big eyes, showing some doubts.
Naruto could not tell, but Hiruzen could tell. Looking at the scene in the crystal ball, he immediately frowned and called an Anbu in front of him.
"Go tell Ryunosuke, tell him that I am looking for him and ask him to come to my office!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, the Anbu immediately agreed, and then immediately turned to find Zhang Miao.
Looking at the door of the office that was closed again, Hiruzen put the pipe into his mouth and took a deep breath. Then he spat out a long string of smoke, squinting his eyes and thinking about something.
Not long after, the door of the office was knocked again, and at the same time, the voice of the Anbu came from outside the door.
"Hokage-sama, Uzumaki Ryunosuke is here!"
Hearing this voice, Hiruzen immediately came back to his senses from his meditation and nodded.
"Yes, let him in!"
"Yes!"
After getting Hiruzen's permission, the Anbu outside the door pushed open the door of the office and signaled Zhang Miao to enter. After Zhang Miao entered, he bowed slightly to Hiruzen and closed the door of the office from outside.
Looking at the closed door, Zhang Miao suddenly shrugged his shoulders and grinned at Hiruzen.
"Grandpa Third, why did you call me here so early today? Could it be that you haven't seen me perform the Harem Jutsu for several days, so you can't wait anymore, hehehe..."
"Cough cough..." Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Hiruzen couldn't help but cough twice, then waved at him.
"Forget about your boring ninjutsu. I have something to talk to you about this time. Look at this!"
After saying that, Hiruzen handed a scroll to Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao took it and looked at it. Suddenly, he frowned. "Peace agreement? What do you mean?"
"Just as written!" Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe and let out a long puff of smoke, "The Fourth Raikage of the Kumogakure has decided to sign a peace agreement with Konoha!"
"Uh..." Hearing Hiruzen's words, Zhang Miao was stunned, "Since it is related to Kumogakure and Konoha, you can settle it. Why are you looking for me? Do you want me to be the welcoming ambassador?"
"That's right!" What Zhang Miao did not expect was that just as his voice fell, Hiruzen immediately nodded. "I have this plan!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Zhang Miao was stunned again.
