Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

"Okay, let's eat!"

As Kagura put down the wooden spoon in his hand, he announced the start of dinner.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been caught in the rain for a whole day in the Rain Country and it feels too cold and gloomy.

Kagura cooked a delicious porridge tonight with rice, dried meat, and mushrooms they found in the forest yesterday.

Ignoring the woman beside her, Kagura scooped up a bowl and began to enjoy it with a calm expression.

Kushina thought about it, then quickly scooped up a bowl of porridge and handed it to the woman.

The woman first looked at Kagura, and when she saw that he had no objection, she took the porridge from Kushina's hand.

But she didn't eat it herself. She blew on it twice, made sure it was not hot, and then handed it to the child in her arms.

The child, who had not eaten rice and meat for a long time, looked at the porridge in front of him and swallowed his saliva, but still looked up and asked his mother:

"Mom, don't you want to eat?"

"It's okay, Mommy's not hungry, you eat first."

Looking at her son, a trace of kindness appeared in the woman's eyes.

Seeing this scene, Kushina quickly filled another bowl and handed it to the woman.

Out of long-term habit, the woman wanted to refuse subconsciously, but in the end hunger defeated her reserve.

After a slight struggle, she took the food from Kushina and whispered a thank you.

Be it the people from Shuimen who had traveled a long distance, or the mother and son who had been hungry for who knows how long, at this moment they just wanted to slowly enjoy the food in front of them.

For a moment, the room fell silent, with only the occasional sound of people swallowing porridge.

After just a moment, the big pot of porridge cooked by Kagura was empty.

Especially the mother and son.

They were a little reserved at first, but due to long-term hunger and Kagura's superb cooking skills, they gradually ate faster and faster.

In the end, half of the porridge went into the stomachs of the mother and child.

Perhaps it was because he had filled his stomach, or perhaps it was because he truly felt that the people in front of him were different from the previous ninjas.

The mother and son had completely lost their previous nervousness and were chatting with Kushina and the other two.

"Ms. Satoko, since this place has become like this, why don't you consider leaving here?"

As the atmosphere in the field gradually became harmonious, Kushina asked in confusion.

Apparently, Satoko was the woman's name, and the little boy in her arms was called Shintaro.

Hearing Kushina's question, Satoko was silent for a moment, looked at the child in her arms, and then said with a hint of helplessness in her eyes:

"It's not that I don't want to leave, it's that I can't leave."

"No way, if you start from here and keep going east, you will reach our Konoha Village in three or four days at most.

Forehead...

What's wrong, did I say something wrong?

Why are you looking at me like that..."

Minato, who was originally speaking, suddenly found that Hiashi and Kushina were looking at him as if he were an idiot.

He hadn't figured out what was going on yet and looked at the two of them with a confused look on his face.

This is actually a matter of common sense.

Yes, it really only took Kagura and others three or four days to get here from Konoha.

But who are they?

They are ninjas.

To put it bluntly, even if people from Blue Star traveled back there, they might not be able to ride a motorcycle in that forest as fast as they do.

So what they call a three or four day journey would take at least two weeks for ordinary people.

Coupled with the shortage of food and the possible appearance of ferocious beasts in that huge forest, it was almost impossible for a woman with a child to get out.

After being looked down upon by his companions, Minato knew that he had said something wrong, so he stopped talking and remained silent.

Oh no.

He couldn't tell if Hiashi rolled his eyes at him or not.

Compared to their conversation, Kagura remained silent after dinner.

He did not look at the people here, but just supported his head with one hand and stared blankly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, he felt someone pulling at his trouser leg.

When he looked down, he found that the person pulling his trouser leg was Satoko's son, the little guy named Shintaro.

He left his mother's arms at some point and ran to Kagura's side.

He looked at the serious-looking uncle curiously and asked in a childish voice:

"Uncle~

Can you teach me how to cook?"

Obviously, a certain name in the child's words made Kagura frown unhappily.

At this moment, Satoko realized that the child was harassing Kagura. Her face changed, and she quickly came over and hugged Shintaro, apologizing repeatedly:

"I'm sorry, please forgive my child for being ignorant."

Although these ninjas have behaved very kindly so far, the experience of these years has made Satoko dare not bet on anyone's kindness.

Ignoring Satoko who kept apologizing to her, Kagura calmly asked Shintaro:

"Why do you want to learn how to cook?"

Shintaro, who didn't know why his mother kept apologizing, came to his senses, looked at Kagura with round eyes and said innocently:

"Because this way mom won't have to go hungry anymore!"

............

After dinner, everyone returned to silence again.

Later, everyone just quietly found a comfortable place in the room and went to bed early.

Silent all night.

As the sun rose again, Kagura and others prepared to set off again.

But before leaving, both Kushina, Hiashi and Minato silently placed their food in front of Satoko.

Just before everyone was ready to leave, Kagura, who had remained indifferent until then, walked up to Satoko with a bag.

After putting the bag of food in her hand, he was silent for a moment and gently slapped his hand on the floor.

As the smoke rose, a puppy-like creature with golden hair appeared in front of Satoko.

After doing all this, Kagura stood up again and said in a calm tone:

“Take this food and this creature and go east.

As for whether you can survive to Konoha, it depends on your luck."

After saying that, he turned around and left the house without paying attention to Li Zi's reaction.

Behind him, Kushina burst out laughing.

Looking at the slowly walking figure, she said with amusement:

"What a hypocritical teacher~~~"

Chapter 21: The Long-lost Sand Village

"hey-hey...

He also said something like 'Whether you can make it to Konoha depends on luck'.

The teacher has taken out his spirit beast and food, so there is no need for luck.

What a duplicity guy~~~"

"Teacher's summoning beast?"

"Oh, that's the little golden-haired dog."

"That thing is so small, is it very strong?"

“Um…I don’t know either.

But I heard from Sister Tsunade that the summoned beast is called Qilin.

After transforming, he can easily knock a jonin away with one slap."

"hiss...

Is it so powerful?

I can’t tell!”

“So, Kagura-sensei summoned all those things.

I think Satoko and the others will be able to reach Konoha Village easily."

............

At this time, Kagura was walking in front of the team with a dark face.

The sounds of Minato and Hiashi talking "quietly" could be heard from behind him.

However, these two guys obviously didn't understand what the so-called "low voice" meant, and Kagura heard almost word for word what they said.

As for Kushina, although she did not join them, she was looking at Kagura's back with a smile on her face.

Finally, Kagura's patience reached its limit amid Minato's incessant chatter.

He suddenly stopped and looked back at the two people who were still discussing excitedly.
