Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

Shikaku was still talking, but Sasuke could no longer hear him.

So, there were indeed many incidents and changes in the process of Mei Terumi being promoted to Mizukage.

Thinking back to the extremely oppressive and violent Naruto in the Valley of the End, Sasuke only felt a sense of fear.

"Besides, we still achieved our diplomatic goals without him. The holding cost is high and the utilization value is low. Such resources are not worth choosing. Right?"

"."

Sasuke was still immersed in his own emotions, and the scene was a little cold for a while.

"Ahem, come on, kid, have some soup."

After seeing her husband being ignored, Nara Yoshino suppressed her dissatisfaction, picked up the bowl in front of Sasuke, and filled another bowl of soup.

After being reminded, Sasuke came to his senses and quickly said to Shikaku:

"Then I really have to thank you for this!"

"Ha, where do we start talking about this?"

Nara Shikaku felt baffled.

"No! I've long seen that Terumi Mei-sama is a little fond of you."

Nara Shikamaru suddenly shouted exaggeratedly and tried half-jokingly.

"Haha, what are you talking about?"

Sasuke just found it funny.

He was open-minded and had never thought about it in that direction.

So I didn't feel shy, I just thought it was an outrageous joke.

"What, what?"

Temari was cheering on the side, asking questions non-stop.

The dinner table was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

The guests and hosts are having a great time, and the cups and plates are in a mess.

At the end, Nara Shikamaru suddenly mentioned something that Sasuke was very concerned about.

"Well, the boatman's uncle, Tanaka Ryota, do you remember him?"

Sasuke's heart suddenly sank.

During those days, I was always on the brink of life and death.

Later, it was Uchiha Itachi's matter that occupied his mind.

It has been delayed so far and this matter has been ignored.

"How could I forget? It's a pity that I couldn't personally hand over my uncle's body to his family."

Sasuke said sadly.

"This is what I told you. At that time, I saw all your anger. To be honest, I am also responsible for this matter. I have taken his head back and handed it to him with my own hands. family."

Shikamaru said seriously.

"real?!"

This surprised Sasuke, and his favorability towards Shikamaru also increased significantly.

Shikamaru nodded, sighed and continued:

"His family is very angry and sad. All I can do is leave them a sum of money."

“Imagine.”

Sasuke seemed to have seen the angry family members of the deceased before his eyes, and he felt a wave of guilt in his heart.

"How much? I should pay for it!"

Sasuke suddenly thought of this, raised his head suddenly, and said with some excitement.

The two struggled for a while, but in the end they couldn't resist Sasuke. After talking about the number, Sasuke immediately stood up and went back to get the money.

After the Kingdom of Water, Sasuke received another mission bounty, which was enough to pay this pension.

Under the cover of night, the Nara family stood at the door to see Sasuke off as he hurriedly left.

Afterwards, Temari and Nara Yoshino turned around to go back, but Shikamaru was quietly pulled back by Shikaku and stayed.

"Son, when Naruto was captured, we moved at full speed and returned to the village the next day. When did you go to express condolences to the boatman?"

After confirming that his wife and others had returned to the house, Nara Shikaku still stared at the direction where Sasuke left, and asked his son in a low voice.

"Father, I have to go to the Country of Waves in the next two days."

Shikamaru also continued to watch him leave and replied calmly.

"!"

Shikaku suddenly turned around, stared at Nara Shikamaru, and scolded in a low voice:

"Why did you lie to him about such a thing?! Why didn't you discuss it with me first before doing such a thing!!"

"Speaking of which, you have to find me a shovel. I'll bury the head in our backyard."

"what?!"

Shikaku was startled.

At that time, when leaving the Water Country, Shikamaru was indeed concerned about Sasuke's "last wish".

He deliberately took back the bag that Sasuke had been carrying.

But later, as Shikaku said, due to the incident of Naruto being captured, the time left for their group was further compressed.

After returning to Konoha, Shikamaru once considered whether to get rid of the heads.

But after a thought, he finally decided to bury it in his backyard.

To be honest, this matter is not Shikamaru's concern.

So, take advantage of this opportunity tonight.

Not only did he get closer to Sasuke, but he also settled his worries.

"That's okay."

After Shikaku understood what was going on, he couldn't help but expressed great concern about the state of the head.

"A late condolence is better than a constant absence."

Shikamaru replied slowly.

"In short, this matter must be kept extremely secretive."

"clear."

Shikamaru nodded and turned to go home.

-

Konoha, home of the Hokage.

Uchiha Sasuke hurried into the house and went straight to his bedroom, but suddenly heard the voice of Hatake Kakashi.

"It's not easy to see you now."

Kakashi held a copy of "Intimate Paradise" and teased Sasuke.

"Kakashi-sensei? Are you here to see me?"

Sasuke was startled.

"I was almost ready to go back."

Kakashi nodded.

"I've been waiting for you outside the Hokage Building for a while in the morning, but I couldn't find anyone. When I came home at night, you were still not there.

"I didn't expect that the always noble Nara family would rush to invite you. You are really the center of attention, little Sasuke."

Kakashi walked up to Sasuke, patted his arm affectionately, and said with a smile.

"That's too much! I will definitely pass the Chunin Exam this year! By then, I will also join the ANBU!"

Uzumaki Naruto groaned angrily from the side.

"What are you so excited about? I just went to have a light meal."

Sasuke was a little embarrassed by the ridicule of several people and said helplessly.

"Kakashi-sensei, what do you want to see me for?"

After hearing the question, Kakashi put away the novel, regained his serious expression, and said:

"If it's convenient, let's go into the house and talk. I want to talk to you alone."

"it is good."

Sasuke did not hesitate and led Kakashi to his bedroom.

"Sit anywhere."

Sasuke said hello and began to look for where his money was, not treating Kakashi as an outsider at all.

"It's indeed much better than your previous place."

Kakashi looked around and greeted.

"is it?"

Sasuke responded casually, having already found his wallet and started counting seriously.

"Well, although it's a little smaller than over there, it looks a lot warmer."

Kakashi commented seriously.

"Haha, indeed, Deacon Saito is better at taking care of things."

Sasuke carefully wrapped up the number of coins he counted and answered briskly.
