When Third appeared, Hanabi and Hikaru had already stopped.
There are more and more familiar faces.
It seems that everyone knows that Fireworks is the best place to watch.
Festival's Fireworks have begun to take off more densely, blooming brilliantly in the night sky, reflecting the faces on the top of the rock with different expressions, but also infected by the atmosphere of Festival.
"It's great that everyone is here!"
Hinata, who had no idea what had just happened, took his sister's hand.
Everyone knows that after tonight, the lights of Festival will eventually go out, and the gorgeous Fireworks will disperse into smoke.
The war did not stop, it just pressed the pause button because Naruto stopped.
When the sun rises tomorrow, the war will continue.
Seeing Naruto leaning comfortably between Karin and the light, he slowly closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
Shikaku is almost predictable:
After a while, Fireworks dispersed and the crowd dispersed. When Lord Hokage, who had "taken a nap" for a while, opened his eyes...
Absolutely, immediately, immediately, I will start a new round of work. Although this guy's salary is high, it is really hard work.
Naruto has never been a person who likes to procrastinate, especially when it comes to major threats and the safety of his partners.
Thinking of this, Shikaku sighed silently, his face full of resignation and helplessness.
He quietly pulled his son who was standing next to him, looking up at Fireworks as well.
Shikamaru felt his father's pull, turned his head in confusion, and asked with his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Shikaku didn't explain much. He just pointed at Naruto with his chin and shook his head again, showing a "you know" wry smile.
Shikamaru followed his father's gaze and saw Naruto's relaxed sleeping face. Combined with his father's hint, he was as smart as he and understood instantly.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and his face showed the same depressed expression as his father.
Okay, my lazy sleep tonight was wasted again.
The father and son exchanged a look of "sympathizing with each other".
As the "brains" of Konoha, they know all too well that once Hokage starts moving, the entire intelligence and strategic system must immediately operate at high speed to provide support.
Especially in this situation where Naruto personally takes action, the pressure is basically all put on them.
"Working overtime..."
Shikamaru muttered in an almost inaudible voice and rubbed his brows resignedly.
He always thought that the rumor in the village that Naruto would not treat Hokage until he could take charge of his own business was just a compliment to Nara, but he did not expect that the gossip might actually be right.
Shikaku nodded and said no more.
He pulled up his son, and the father and son, like deer blending into the shadows, quietly retreated from the lively crowd of spectators.
"Don't leave yet."
Kakashi put his hand on Shikamaru's shoulder and shook the camera in his other hand.
"Take a photo first."
"Let me tell you first, I won't work overtime today."
After taking the body replenishing prescription from Naruto, Adult Shikamaru said to Adult Naruto in a strong voice.
"Okay, okay, after the war, when did you get asked to work overtime on holidays?"
Naruto waved his hand.
His friends and children are here, and he won't do anything so disappointing.
The recipe given to Shikamaru was a gift from Tsunade to Naruto before he got married, although it has never been used.
He has excellent physical fitness, but he doesn't understand why Shikamaru needs such a thing when he only has one wife...
Is working overtime too much?
Why don't we just let Shikamaru become Seventh Hokage, then let him delegate the work to someone else and he won't be so tired.
"I usually work overtime a lot. I feel like I'm going bald."
Shikamaru muttered.
"Who asked you to tie your hair so tightly? It's normal for the hairline to recede. When I tie my daughter's hair, I don't tie it so tightly. You Kid are being very cruel to yourself."
Naruto lowered his head and glanced at his watch. There was a sticker with a robot's head on the strap of the watch. Sota put it on Naruto's watch once while Naruto was taking a bath.
He never revealed it.
"Okay, it's almost time. Go to your wife's place quickly. Don't leave for a while. Let's take a group photo together."
"Got it."
Shikamaru responded briefly, contentedly took the prescription and prepared to go home and try it.
It just so happens that Nara Clan is a herbal medicine dealer, and many of the above medicinal materials are available at Shikamaru's home.
We take group photos every year, and there is almost no room for them on the photo wall at home.
Not bad though.
"Remember, don't sneak away by yourself later!"
Naruto was behind him and added another warning with a smile.
Shikamaru turned his back to him and waved casually in agreement.
They all have their own families, jobs, and children.
It's nice to have a fixed time to get together every year.
Some of Naruto's children followed their grandfather today, and some followed Mother. Except for Pinzhu and Taichi who were caught by Naruto, they all came over one after another.
When Fireworks blooms in the sky of Konoha again.
A figure, like snowflakes blending into the night, appeared silently behind the gathering crowd.
It was Young Naruto, with eye-catching short silver-white hair, which glowed faintly under the reflection of Fireworks.
Click!
A crisp shutter sound appeared particularly clear in the gap between the Fireworks explosions, as if freezing the moment.
Almost at the same time as the shutter sounded, a gentle and smiling voice sounded beside him:
"Are the photos taken this year from the back, Hatake?"
Hatake was not surprised when he heard the sound. He just slowly put down the camera and turned his head. Standing next to him was a tall young man with the same striking white hair.
"Well, brother Miwakan, what do you think? I think... this angle seems to be more interesting than the frontal shot."
Hatake's tone contained a trace of uncertain exploration and expectation of recognition.
Photography is his hobby, and Parents also supports him, but the Miwakan in front of him is a master of photography.
Miwakan looked at it for a long time, the smile on his face deepened, and his eyes showed unabashed admiration.
He raised his head, stretched out his free hand, and rubbed Young Naruto Hatake's soft silver hair vigorously, his movements intimate and encouraging:
"The photo was very good, Hatake!"
Miwakan's tone is affirmative,
"This perspective is really unique and very thoughtful. Sometimes the back view can tell a story better than the front view, especially in scenes like this.
It tastes just right."
Young Naruto Hatake Hearing this, he went over to take a look, and touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly:
"Ah... it's a pity that it's from the back. The children all stood in front and looked at Fireworks..."
"It doesn't matter."
Miwakan smiled and handed the camera back to him.
"This one is already very good and deserves to be preserved.
As for the kids..."
He looked at the noisy crowd over there who had almost lined up and was ready to take a group photo, with a smile in his eyes.
"You can take some more frontal photos later.
Or, just use this 'back view' and leave some room for imagination, which is also good."
The photos in this back view are all adults, and there are also a few children being held or riding on their father's shoulders. It feels very interesting when put together with the photos taken in the past few years.
"Hmm!"
Young Naruto Hatake nodded vigorously, took the camera and held it in his arms.
