Three years have passed by in a flash.
Konoha is still lively. After the Madara incident, it has become more prosperous and peaceful.
Yūto is sitting in the office. Compared with how he looked a few years ago, he seems a little thinner and has a little dark circles under his eyes.
This is not all because of work, but mainly because his two girlfriends, Tsunade and Pakura, who really want to be mothers, have squeezed him a lot during this time in order to have children of their own.
Tsukimi went out on a mission today, and temporarily entrusted their lovely daughter Eri to Yūto.
Yūto looked at his daughter who was having fun playing with toys in the office, and suddenly thought of something.
Then he called ANBU, and then ordered, "Call Chino to the office and tell him that he has an important task."
After a while, Chino arrived. Now Chino is completely different from three years ago. He is tall, tall and graceful.
After moving to Konoha, my nutrition kept up and my life became stable. The short girl in the original book has grown into a beautiful girl.
When she saw the teacher calling with a serious expression, her heart suddenly lifted, and she asked nervously, "Teacher, what kind of task is it? Is it important?"
After all, three years ago, the teacher personally killed the legendary Madara Uchiha and saved Konoha and even Shinobi World. In the eyes of many people, he is a well-deserved Hero. The important task he mentioned must be related to the village and even the entire Shinobi World!
Yūto nodded seriously. "Well, it's very important and related to the future."
He looked at Chino's tense face, suddenly grinned, and relaxed his tone. "The task is... to help me take care of the children. Tsukimi will come back in a few days."
Chino was stunned, blinked his big eyes a few times, and was a little confused.
After a few seconds, she reacted and pointed to her nose exaggeratedly. "Take care of the children! Why is it me, teacher? You obviously have three disciples! Why is it me!"
"Quan?" Yūto waved his hand, "She, at this point, is probably dating Itachi. It's a big event in life, so don't bother her."
He looked at Chino and showed a narrow smile, "No, you are the most leisurely, single person."
Chino almost choked on the word "single dog" and almost turned red in the face. However, looking at Yūto's mean face and looking at the ignorant and cute little Eri next to him, he could only sigh helplessly and accept this important task resignedly.
"Okay, okay, why don't I go..."
Chino picked up Eri resignedly, left the office, and went for a walk on the street of Konoha.
The sun was just right, and the little girl looked curiously at the lively street scene in Chino's arms.
"Chino sister!" came a crisp voice.
I saw Naruto and Hinata carrying schoolbags just after school and were greeting them.
The two little guys have grown taller, with the vigor of the Ninja Academy students.
"Good afternoon, little sister!"
Naruto came over and looked at little Eri with a smile.
"Good afternoon, sister Chino, and my little sister."
Hinata also blushed and greeted gently.
"Naruto, Hinata, just after school?"
Naruto nodded repeatedly. After the three chatted for a while, Hinata suddenly remembered something. "Ah, no, Teacher Pakura is still waiting for me at Training Ground. I have to hurry over!"
"Oh, yes, yes! Bye sister Chino, bye little sister!"
Naruto quickly waved goodbye and the two trotted away.
Chino continued walking while holding Eri, and met two more people, it was Tsunade and her assistant Yíngsháo who was helping to carry the medical kit.
Tsunade glanced at the child in Chino's arms and was a little surprised. "Hey, isn't this Eri? Why are you carrying it?"
As she spoke, she naturally reached out and hugged Eri.
Chino shrugged helplessly. "The teacher thought it was troublesome to take care of the baby, so he delegated it to me directly."
Tsunade gently pinched Eri's pink little face. The little guy seemed to like her very much. He giggled and stretched out his little hands to grasp her clothes tightly.
This intimate gesture made Tsunade's heart melt, and the smile on his face became even bigger. When he returned the child to Chino, his eyes were bright and his tone was extremely firm:
"This little thing is really painful! No, I have to give birth to one by myself! Let's go, go back and look at my Potion. This time the formula is the key!"
She greeted Yíngsháo enthusiastically and walked quickly in the direction of Laboratory.
Chino stood there holding Eri, watching the backs of Tsunade and Yíngsháo leaving, especially Yíngsháo's eye-catching red hair.
A rumor suddenly flashed through her mind. A while ago, someone seemed to say that the teacher had lost several pieces of clothing that she had been wearing, and it was said that they were stolen by a red-haired woman.
Everyone was still talking at the time, saying that it must not be Mr. Kushina, because Mr. Kushina has long red hair, while this thief is said to have short hair.
Didn't Yíngsháo, who just walked over, have neat short red hair?
Could it be that...
Chino quickly shook his head to drive away the ridiculous idea.
How is this possible!
It must be a coincidence that Sister Yíngsháo is such a gentle and serious person!
"Little troublemaker, let's continue shopping!"
Chino tapped the tip of the little girl's nose in his arms and continued walking along Konoha Street
As she was walking, Chino's stomach suddenly growled, and she remembered that she hadn't eaten lunch yet. She rushed here without even eating for the teacher's task. She didn't expect that it was such a task as taking care of children.
Just ahead is Ichiraku Ramen Shop, with a familiar sign waving on the street corner.
Chino quickly opened the door and went in. The smell of soup came from the store. She found a seat and sat down, putting Eri on the stool next to her.
Looking up, she saw two acquaintances sitting in the corner: Kisame and his wife.
After Kisame was rescued by Yūto when he was Third Shinobi World War, he has been settling down in Konoha with his girlfriend.
In these years of stable life, they have all given birth to children. The little one is five years old and will be admitted to the Ninja Academy in one year.
Kisame's shark face is particularly conspicuous under the lights of the noodle shop, but his wife is gentle and gentle, wearing a homely kimono.
Chino waved. "Hey, Kisame-san, what a coincidence!"
Kisame grinned, showing his fangs. "Chino kid, are you taking your baby for a walk?"
His wife also smiled and nodded.
Just after saying hello, Eri turned his head and met Kisame's face.
The little girl's eyes widened and she burst into tears.
Chino panicked and quickly picked up Eri and patted his back. "Don't cry, don't cry, that's uncle!"
But it was of no use at all. Eri cried more and more fiercely, and Chino's clothes were wet with his tears.
Kisame's wife rolled her eyes at him. "It's all because of your scary face!"
She reached out and hugged Eri, and her voice was as soft as cotton wool. "Good baby, Auntie, give me a hug. Don't be afraid."
Kisame's wife has a gentle temper and has a good way of coaxing children. After a few seconds, Eri really stopped crying and just buried his head in her arms.
Kisame scratched his head helplessly. "Oh, I'll stay away."
He stood up and moved to the table in the corner, with his back to this side.
Kisame's wife hugged Eri, patted her gently, and suddenly sighed, "This child is really well-behaved. He's not like that brat in my family who climbs trees and fights all day long, so loud that the roof almost breaks down."
Chino was slurping the ramen that had just come out, and responded vaguely, "Yes, yes, children, everyone has their own troubles."
She finished eating the noodles in two or three bites, fearing she would hear more complaints.
Putting down the bowl, Chino quickly took it from Eri: "Thank you, it's time for the little one to go to bed. I'm leaving first!"
Holding Eri and stepping out of the Ichiraku Ramen door, Chino just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a loud noise in the distance.
She turned her head and saw dazzling lightning flashing in the sky in the direction of Uchiha Clan Compound, followed by another burst of black smoke.
