("Oiko Uchiha doesn't want to be Neptune");

The afternoon flew by.

Before I knew it, it was time to get off work.

"Tobirama-sama, it's time to get off work!" The girl was like a primary school kid on her first day of school. When she saw that the time was up, she couldn't help but be the first to remind her.

ANBU hiding in the dark: "..." This reminder is probably useless, because Tobirama-sama never gets off work on time.

However……

"Huh?" Senshou Tobirama looked up at the clock on the wall and said with some surprise, "It's true." He had always grasped the time accurately, but today he felt that time really passed unexpectedly fast.

Could it be the legendary...

He glanced at a little girl who was stretching her arms.

It was a long time to accompany you, but the years are suddenly too late.

When you're with the right people, time always flies.

...No, he is not such an idealistic person. Therefore, it must be because there are too many and complicated things in the afternoon and he does them too smoothly, so he unknowingly...

"Tobirama-sama, do you want to go home together?" The girl clasped her hands together and looked at the silver-haired man expectantly.

Senju Tobirama: "..." There is a saying that the off-duty hours in the Hokage Building are set for other workers, and he usually leaves late. Now he is used to going back to have dinner with the whole family, so he will be an hour late.

; In the past... when my eldest brother was still healthy, he would occasionally be even more late when he was busy or too busy with work.

Maybe it should be refused.

only……

Looking at the little girl's shining eyes, she couldn't say such a thing no matter what.

Thinking about it again, today is her first official day at work.

He brought her here in the morning, so naturally he should send her back safely in the evening. Well, this is called a good beginning and a good end.

So Senju Tobirama once again convinced himself naturally, smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go home from get off work together."

"Hmm~"

It snowed continuously all day long.

Fortunately, with the "enthusiastic participation" of the Kawaki family, the village's main road has remained open and the villagers are working and living relatively normally.

Senju Tobirama had just arrived at the door of the Hokage Building, and the gatekeeper had already brought the umbrella he had stored in the morning with both hands - the storage of umbrellas and other items was stipulated by him. After all, as long as he thought of the staff here,

When he got off work, he would walk around with an umbrella that kept dripping water, making the floor in the building wet and dirty. He would... well, his mysophobia would be triggered and he would feel uncomfortable. Moreover, this would also increase the cleanliness of the building in disguise.

personnel work.

Every time it rains or snows, soft mats are laid out at the door for people to wipe water and mud off the soles of their feet.

In addition, in case someone forgets to bring an umbrella during a sudden heavy rain, there are many borrowable items in the compartment where these items are stored at the door.

In fact, there are many, many similar matters...

After all, the village has been established for more than ten years, and the rules, regulations, legal provisions, etc. have also been gradually improved during this period.

Senju Hashirama has always cared about the feelings of the people in the village. As his younger brother, Senju Tobirama naturally does the same. Moreover, in order to better ensure the smooth progress of various tasks, the latter is especially concerned about the "daily life of the social animals."

"Tobirama-sama, the umbrella you stored this morning."

"Thank you."

Senju Tobirama smiled and nodded.

The girl put the little orange fox on her shoulder and took the green-and-white umbrella first. It was actually easy to recognize because there was the Senju Clan's emblem on the handle.

The two walked to the door together.

The girl raised her hand and opened the umbrella.

Qianju Tobijian reached out to get it and grabbed it empty.

"?"

"It was Tobirama-sama who held the umbrella this morning, now it's me." The girl said seriously.

Qianju Feijian couldn't help but smile: "No need." As he said this, he "pulled" the umbrella back from her hand, "I'll do it." The weather in the evening was colder than in the morning. How could he

How can I watch her holding an umbrella with cold little hands in this weather?

The girl puffed up her face and stood still.

Qianju Tobijian sighed helplessly, stretched out a hand and put it on her shoulder that was not squatting with a certain fox, and gently and deftly brought her under his umbrella, while "hugging" the person together.

As he walked, he comforted him and said, "How about you fight tomorrow?" If his observation is correct, it will be sunny tomorrow and it won't snow.

"...That's okay." The girl nodded and became happy again.

The two of them then walked back together.

Senju Tobirama asked in a good mood: "How do you feel about your first official day at work?"

"Okay, okay?" The girl scratched her cheek and replied with some embarrassment, "I just think, well, there are still a lot of things to learn." For some reason, she always felt that those work processes were familiar, and she took a look at them.

She can quickly understand and get started, and is keenly aware of the hidden dangers of problems. However, she does not speak easily about many things, because she does not know enough about everything in this village currently.

"Just take your time." Qianju Tobirama said with a chuckle, "This is only the first day." In fact, there were many things that she didn't need to do at all. After all, she was trapped in all kinds of trivial matters.

, but it is a huge "waste". However, it is indeed necessary to learn and understand.

Just like the eldest brother, he rarely focuses on dealing with small details, and is more responsible for guiding the future and direction of the village. However, even so, the eldest brother is very clear about the various processes of the village.

In the final analysis, only by understanding enough can you not be easily fooled.

The ninjas in the village and the heads of various departments are currently very honest, but the interests are very attractive. What if they one day find that their immediate superiors are easy to fool? Then, can they really resist doing anything?

So, why bother deliberately testing others’ bottom line?

Of course, as long as he is around, he will never allow this to happen.

In the future, one day, she may replace her eldest brother and become the eyes of the village looking at the ninja world and the future. And he will always be the pair of hands that help them control everything.

Thinking like this, Senju Tobirama suddenly asked: "Is there anything you want?"

"……ah?"

He looked at the confused girl and explained patiently: "Today is your first official day at work, and you did a good job, so is there anything you want?"

"Well," the girl tilted her head, "is this a reward for my hard work?"

"Of course." Senju Tobirama nodded with a smile, and then spoke very decisively the second the girl's eyes lit up, "But overeating sweets is not allowed."

"Woo..." The girl who almost cheered suddenly let out a "sorrow" like a kitten being restrained. She puffed up her face and silently looked sideways at the silver-haired man beside her. After discovering that his will was indeed "indestructible"

After that, she puffed up her face again. However, her little depression went away as quickly as it came. In the blink of an eye, she thought of other things she wanted, so she said, "Sir Tobirama, Master Tobirama, the New Year is coming soon."

We’re here, right?”

"Um, yes, what's wrong?"

"What about that..." the girl's eyes wandered slightly in embarrassment, and she whispered, "I heard... that during the Chinese New Year, there was a fireworks display in the village?"

"...Yes." Senju Tobirama felt that he seemed to understand.

"Then, will it happen this year?"

Qianju Tojian: "..." No, in fact, this kind of thing has only been done three times so far, respectively in the first year of the founding of the village, the fifth year of the founding of the village, and the tenth year of the founding of the village. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

, somewhat with a commemorative meaning.

Because this matter is really troublesome to prepare, and the dry weather in winter can easily cause fires. However, it seems not very humane to have the police force patrol the village during the Chinese New Year. It cannot be because they are Uchiha night owls,

Is that what drives you?

Besides, there was already a fireworks display for the annual summer festival, and he felt that there was really no need to hold it twice a year. He had even considered it before, otherwise the "every five" festival would be canceled in the future, and only the "every tenth" festival would be retained.

"Tobirama-sama?" The girl looked at the man next to her with kirakira eyes, her small face full of expectation and desire, "Why don't you speak? Are you there?" After hearing Fan mention this before, she asked

I have always wanted to take a look - the bright and gorgeous flowers bloom in the night sky and fall with the snowflakes. What a beautiful scene it will be.

Senju Tobirama thought:...This really doesn't exist.

Qianju Tobirama said: "...Maybe there can be."

Jiuwei shook his big fluffy nine tails and thought: Fireworks?

It has been seen several times in the past, but it was always far away from human gathering areas. It is indeed a man-made and moving beauty.

Seeing it in the village will definitely give you a different experience, right?

"Really?" The girl subconsciously stretched out her hand, grabbed the sleeve of the person next to her, gently pulled it, and said happily, "Before, Fan said that the possibility of it was very low, is it really possible?"

Like a little black cat that is so happy that it pounces on its big snow wolf companion, or... a little meow that plays coquettishly to its owner?

Senju Tobirama thought: You are looking at me like this, you are looking forward to it so much, you are grabbing the hem of my clothes like this, and you are all smiling so much, can I still regret saying "no"? Anyway, Konoha's

There are also fireworks in the warehouse, and there is already a process for this matter, so it is not troublesome to arrange it. As for the Uchiha... just work hard and work overtime on New Year's Eve. Well, they will be given more overtime pay. This is considered, they

In an appropriate way to express love and loyalty to the village?

Besides, this is also the little girl's first year in Konoha.

She is also a powerful and important Wood Emissary.

Therefore, it is normal for the village to "welcome" her with the most solemn and lively etiquette, right?

This is reasonable.

So...

This man convinced himself smoothly and happily again, and expounded in detail what "once you take a step back, you will start taking countless steps back until there is no way back."

After all, for the current Senju Tobirama, for the Senju Tobirama who has clearly realized his own feelings——

The only problem between him and her, and the little girl in front of him, is that the age gap is really too big.

It is true that many people feel that... even he himself initially felt that...

The combination of Wooden Envoy and Wooden Envoy has a high chance of giving birth to a child carrying the Wooden Envoy bloodline.

However, probability is just probability after all.

Moreover, the eldest brother clearly said, "He doesn't want it", "He doesn't want to do it and refuses to do it".

The eldest brother said, "I only look at Xingxing the way I look at juniors" and "I don't want to tie the two of them together to get married because of external reasons and pressure."

Then the probability becomes 0.

Few people can force the eldest brother to do something he really doesn't want to do. Unless...but, he is still here this time, and he is very willing to help the eldest brother share the pressure on this matter.

Moreover, her own opinion should be taken into consideration in matters such as love and marriage, right? Who has the qualifications to turn such a well-behaved, cute, kind and gentle girl into a marionette who is forced to marry and have children in the village? He and his eldest brother both

It won't be allowed.

so……

Put aside the Wooden Messenger, put aside the Tailed Beast, put aside all other issues...

The most essential issue in this matter is actually——

As a man, he fell in love with a woman many years younger than him, almost morally corrupt.

He was really struggling.

But also...

Not as resistant as I thought.

In other words, rather than resisting, he was attracted more and more deeply.

He couldn't help but walked towards her and fell into the deep sea willingly.

At this moment, it's just... habitually, a little bit embarrassing, futile, meaningless...

Just resist, struggle and "do" a little bit.

While saying "I don't want it" over and over again...

Want it from the bottom of your heart.

The author has something to say: Don’t be awkward, old man~
