Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

After consultation between Shirataki and Tsunade, they finally decided to arrange Naoki into Kato Dan's team. Kato Dan was Tsunade's boyfriend in the original work, but at this time he was just a special one under Jiraiya. He was just a jounin, and it was Jiraiya's suggestion to arrange the rope tree for him.

At this stage, Kato Dan's spiritual transformation technique is not as powerful as in the original plot, so his position on this battlefield is equivalent to that of a special sensory ninja. In the case of war, the sensory ninja faces The danger is minimal. Moreover, Kato Dan is not an ordinary person. The special nature of the spiritual transformation technique makes even Sarutobi Hiruzen jealous. Of course, Jiraiya will not let Kato Dan rush to the front line, so Jiraiya proposed to place the rope tree. In Kato Dan's team.

Tsunade was very satisfied with this arrangement. Strangely, Tsunade was not angry when she learned about Orochimaru's situation. Instead, she looked at Shirataki with a strange expression. She must have had her own thoughts in her heart, and Shirataki didn't ask any more questions.

On the other side, after Shirataki returned to the tent, he saw Uchiha Fugaku, who had been waiting for him. The two chatted in the tent for a long time. Although they did not talk about anything substantial, Shirataki also roughly Knowing the purpose of the other party's visit, he just wanted to get closer to him so that he could prepare in advance for Uchiha Fugaku's rise to power.

Time passed quickly, and a full month had passed since Shirataki's arrival.

During this period of time, Konoha's battlefield in the Land of Rain was relieved. Thanks to the shrinkage of the defense line of the Hidden Rain Village, the Mito Gate Flame no longer caused Konoha ninjas to pursue and attack fiercely, so this battlefield The Konoha ninjas were only performing simple patrols and intelligence gathering tasks, and even small encounters did not occur a few times.

While Shirataki was still studying the Flying Thunder God Scroll in his tent, Jiraiya led a young man with long lavender shawl hair into Shirataki's tent.

Seeing this, Shirataki quickly put away the half-turned scroll in his hand, glanced at Jiraiya and the other two, and said helplessly, "What's the matter with you, Jiraiya?"

After saying that, Shirataki helplessly stretched out his hand to support his chin and stared at Jiraiya. Ever since Jiraiya and Shirataki settled their feud, this guy has often come to disturb Shirataki's training, either to seek out Shirataki to vent Jiraiya's bitterness, or to ask Shirataki to help him with advice because of Tsunade's affairs.

"Shirataki, don't be so outspoken! We are good friends, aren't we?" Jiraiya said with a smile on his face. While he asked the young man behind him to sit down, he picked up the teapot from the table next to him and poured tea for the three of them.

Although Shirataki showed that he was neither salty nor cool towards the two of them, he kept looking at the lavender-haired young man from the corner of his eye. Jiraiya obviously knew Shirataki quite well, so he didn't say anything when he saw this. He just laughed and introduced them to both parties.

"This is the Uzumaki Shirataki I told you about. He can be said to be the most outstanding figure of the younger generation."

"This is Kato Dan, a powerful jounin in Konoha. He is famous for his spiritual transformation techniques."

When the young man with long lavender hair heard Jiraiya praising him, he immediately smiled helplessly and said modestly, "What kind of fame? It's just a little trick." After that, Kato Dan picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth. He touched it lightly, then raised his head and said to Shirataki, "Compared to Uzumaki Shirataki-sama, my strength is still far behind."

Kato Dan's modesty and shyness made Shirataki feel good about him. Compared with all the peers Shirataki had come into contact with, Kato Dan's character was obviously to his liking. He immediately said, "Sir, your age is the same as yours." I’m pretty much the same, just call me Shirataki.”

While Shirataki smiled and tried to make peace, he walked around to the other side of the round table, pulled up a chair and sat across from the two of them. Kato Suan originally thought that Shirataki would be difficult to get along with, but he did not expect that the other party would be so approachable, even a little beyond his expectation, and this seemed to be different from the rumors he had heard in the past.

From this, Kato had to lament that the gossip was unreliable. Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Kato Dan maintained a calm smile and said to Shirataki in a warm voice, "Then I won't be seen outside, Shirataki."

"Yes." Bai Taki also nodded with a smile. For a while, the atmosphere in the venue was cheerful, and it felt like the guest and the host were enjoying themselves. The three of them chatted and drank tea from time to time. During the whole process, Kato Dan behaved politely and gracefully without making anyone feel pretentious. He speaks elegantly and has rich experience. He vaguely gives Bai Taki a feeling of spring breeze during the communication, which shows that he has a lot of self-cultivation.

"Amegakure is now vigorously building defenses, making it clear that he can't retreat, and Elder Menyan doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking. Alas." A trace of sadness flashed in Kato Dan's eyes, and he sighed, "I don't know when this war will end. . I really hope the war can end soon so I can go home and see my sister as soon as possible.”

Since the three people here are all elite ninjas in Konoha, and their status is not low, it is impossible for family gossip to appear in the chat, so the topic, of course, unknowingly came to the war. above.

Shirataki twisted his body in embarrassment, coughed and said, "I guess I still have to fight, after all, Sunagakure is not easy to deal with." During this period of time, apart from the matter of the rope tree, Shirataki concentrated on studying the Flying Thunder God. Technique, so he didn't know much about the current situation on the battlefield.

Kato Dan was about to say something, but unexpectedly Jiraiya spoke first, "It's not just Sunagakure. I heard that Iwagakure had a truce with Kirigakure a while ago, and recently it has once again increased its intensity against our Konoha. War is officially declared. It should be a matter of time." After saying that, Jiraiya looked sad, obviously worried.

"Iwagakure? Is this news accurate?" Kato Dan's news channels were obviously not as wide as Jiraiya's. Hearing this, he quickly turned to look at the latter, his tone slightly anxious.

Jiraiya nodded solemnly and said, "It's true."

Kato Dan didn't speak for a while, but subconsciously picked up the tea cup again, but this time he didn't put it to his mouth in a hurry, but just lowered his head and remained silent, as if thinking about something.

But the slightly trembling hands revealed that Kato Dan's heart was not at peace. The change in the other party was so obvious that it was difficult for Shirataki not to notice, so he quickly asked Kato Dan, "Zan, what's wrong with you?"

Shirataki's sudden question suddenly woke up Kato Dan, and the teacup in his hand accidentally fell to the ground, smashing into pieces with a loud bang.

"Sorry, sorry." Upon seeing this, Kato Suan quickly bent down and wanted to pick up the scattered ceramic shards. Or maybe he just didn't want the other two to see his extremely ugly face.

Shirataki and Jiraiya looked at each other, but seeing that the latter was also confused, he had no choice but to reassure Kato in a gentle voice, "It's okay, it's just a cup."

Perhaps the nonchalance in Shirataki's tone was successfully conveyed to Kato Dan, who stopped insisting and got out from under the table.

"Haha." He smiled awkwardly, and Kato Dan subconsciously scratched his head. Seeing Shirataki and Jiraiya looking at him with puzzled expressions, he knew that he would be unable to do anything without an explanation.

After a while, when his mind calmed down, Kato Suan sighed slightly, and then he spoke to Shirataki and apologized, "I'm sorry for making you laugh. I will pay for the damaged tea set later."

Shirataki waved his hand indifferently, and then asked in a consulting tone, "I think something was wrong with you just now. Is there something wrong with you?"

"If you have any difficulties, please tell us, maybe I can help." Jiraiya said quickly.

Perhaps he was infected by the sincerity of the two people, or perhaps he was planning to vent his worries. Kato Dan didn't hide anything and directly told the truth, "That's it. My sister, she is nineteen years old this year, and she just got married." , has a husband who loves her very much.”

"She is a chuunin. Her usual task is to patrol near the village. It is very common and safe." At this point, Kato Dan paused and said with a slightly ugly face, "But there is a prerequisite, and that is war. It will not continue to expand.”

"Today, the military strength on all fronts is somewhat tight. If the village officially starts a war with Iwakaku again, my sister, she probably won't be able to escape the forced recruitment." Kato Suan smiled bitterly, and said slowly in a low tone, "Although it is Fighting for the village, but as a brother, I still don’t want to see her go to the battlefield.”

After saying that, Kato Dan fell into a long silence. The look on his face flashed with guilt for a while, and then with reluctance. The feeling in it was hard to explain to outsiders. His dream is to become Hokage, and Hokage's duty is to do everything he can to protect the village, no matter how much he sacrifices, without any regret.

But at this moment, faced with family ties that he couldn't let go of, Kato Dan couldn't make a choice. He just doesn't want to let his only remaining relative in this world encounter any dangerous situation and eventually lose his life. For an ordinary ninja, this kind of selfishness is perfectly normal.

But for Kato Sudan, who aspires to become Hokage, at this moment, his selfishness is so dazzling, as if he is silently mocking his dream. "I thought I had already made the awakening, but this awakening turned out to be so unbearable." One blow. Are you really qualified to become Hokage?"

Although Shirataki and Jiraiya didn't know the complex emotions hidden deep in Kato Dan's heart, they understood the other party's request.

"If you just don't want your sister to go to the battlefield, maybe I can think of something." Jiraiya had a smile on his lips. He was just a chuunin, and Jiraiya believed that as long as he told Hiruzen-sensei, it would not be difficult to accomplish such a small thing.

But before he could continue, Kato Dan suddenly raised his hand and stopped Jiraiya's words, "My sister." Kato Dan's eye circles were slightly red, but his gaze suddenly became extremely firm, It was as if some kind of realization had been made.

"I probably don't want to, as my brother, wantonly interfere in her life, after all." Kato Suan raised his head slightly, as if he was recalling something, and murmured softly, "From the day she became a ninja, she was ready to contribute to the village. The consciousness of life.”

"Whether it's taking advantage of my status, power, or using connections to get through the back door, I think that as long as I do that, it will be considered an insult to her consciousness." A touch of bitterness flashed across the corner of Kato's mouth, but he put away his weak expression in an instant With a strong face, he said, "I don't want to be looked down upon by her, let alone betray my dream and become an unqualified Hokage in the future!"

"If you want to be a Hokage recognized by everyone, being fair is the minimum attitude."

"For this reason, no matter how much pain I endure, I will move in this direction and never regret it until my death!"

Kato Dan's speech was shocking. Although Shirataki admired the other party's selfless attitude, he also secretly sighed in his heart, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are so powerful, your will of fire is so awesome."

On the other hand, Jiraiya's face changed slightly after hearing Kato Dan's words.
