Konoha: Sage Body

In the afternoon, after school, at Hokage Rock, Kirito, Chizuru, and Kawaki were cleaning the heads of the three hokage with their cleaning tools.

All three had mastered the skill of walking on water with chakra and could stand on the rock wall to clean it, which was convenient.

However, the three of them were too small compared to the hokage rocks, and the amount of work was not small if they wanted to completely clean them.

Especially working in the heat, that was a bitter feeling.

"It's all your fault, if you hadn't run away without permission, i wouldn't have to be punished together to come here to clean the hokage rock."

Kawaki grumbled as he stood upside down under his big grandpa's nose, holding a cleaning mop.

It wasn't really that he was displeased about coming here to do this, it was mainly that Kirito wasn't brotherly enough to actually sneak off without him, his best buddy, and instead took that pesky Uchiha with him first.

What's so good about that violent woman, is it because she's a bit cute, his good buddy isn't that shallow.

"Don't say that, Kawaki, Chizuru was injured, I brought it to the infirmary, as a classmate, it's something that should be done, don't you think it's right, on the contrary, Ms. Aoi is really too insensitive, and afterward, actually punished us to come here to do this, it's really not a good teacher."

Kirito, who was cleaning up the second hokage rock, heard Kawaki's complaint and decisively put all the blame on Mikado Aoi, whom he disliked, not thinking he was at fault at all.

That's for sure.

He was just a victim who clearly did nothing, and to be punished all together as a result just didn't make sense.

Later on, he took the injured Chizuru to the infirmary for treatment, it was only right that he should receive praise, and as a result, he was punished for coming here after school to clean the hokage rock.

Kirito's heart was now aggrieved, at this time of the day, he should be in the library while enjoying the delicious tricolor buns and reading a book.

Chizuru, who was standing on the third generation Hokage Rock's nose, ignored Kawaki's words and just continued to silently poke at the Hokage Rock's nose with a cleaning mop, but when she heard Kirito's words, she subconsciously looked at the bandages on her elbows and knees, then nodded her head.

"That's right, Ms. Aoi isn't a good teacher, it's too unclear what's right and wrong to punish me for coming along here to clean the hokage when I've already done 100 rounds of frog jumps."

Kawaki nodded his head quite agreeably.

Meanwhile, the nearby Mikado Aoi, who had transformed into an ordinary staff member with her Transformation Technique, heard the conversation between the two Kirito and Kawaki, her fists hardened again, and she almost couldn't hold back from jumping out to violently beat them up before punishing them for doing something else.

"Next time, they'll be punished for cleaning the public restrooms of the entire village."

Mikado Aoi made up her mind and revealed a grim, bad smile.

Kirito and Kawaki immediately felt a vicious chill coming on, their bodies trembled with a very bad feeling, and they quickly gave up slacking off and continued to work hard.

...

Near sunset, the three of them were finally successfully completing the work of cleaning the hokage rock, all three of them were a little tired at this time, and their stomachs began to growl.

"Kawaki, let's go eat fried dumplings together."

Kirito suggested as he rubbed his parched stomach.

Yakushi Nono had already opened a small snack bar in the village food court, and because of the novelty and cheap and tasty food introduced, along with the fact that Kirito had mobilized his own small network of friends to promote it in the village, the business was currently very good, and it had already become a stable source of income for the orphanage.

"Fried dumplings, it's the new kind of food that appeared in the village right, I've eaten it a few times, and it's delicious, let's go now before it's too late."

Kawaki happened to be hungry, and when he heard the offer, he licked his lips and agreed decisively.

When Kirito saw that Kawaki had no problem with it, he looked at Chizuru, who was packing up and preparing to go back, and smiled, "Chizuru, want to go together?"

Chizuru immediately shuddered, revealing an astonished face.

Going to dinner with other children, this kind of thing had never happened to her before, ever since her parents died, she had been eating alone.

A longing brewed in her heart.

But she hadn't finished her training for the day, and there was no time to waste.

"Come on, the fried dumplings are delicious, you'll absolutely love them."

Just as she was about to refuse, Kirito continued, then took her hand and led her away piece by piece.

"Wait."

Chizuru said hurriedly as she was taken by the hand and walked up a few steps before reacting.

Kawaki happened to interject as he said in a disgusted tone, "Ha~, why invite her along."

"Kawaki, that's where you're wrong, we were punished together, we're now considered companions in the same cause, isn't it only natural to go eat together, wouldn't the future hokage-sama be willing to eat with his village companions?"

Kirito immediately said.

He didn't have any deep hatred with Uchiha Chizuru, and the same was true with the Uchiha clan, on the contrary, because the Uchiha didn't take advantage of him for free, he still had a good impression of the Uchiha clan.

So he does not intend to develop a relationship with Chizuru as an enemy, it is better to be a friend.

The Uchiha's were not like the Sandaime and Danzo, they were a clan with a high sense of honor, arrogant but loyal.

If you could really become friends with them, then it is really worth trusting your back, do not have to worry about being stabbed in the back.

Unless it was an Uchiha who had opened the Mangekyo Sharingan and had become insane in the head, then betrayal would be impossible.

At the mention of Hokage, Kawaki immediately came into the mood, he immediately changed his words and said with bravado, "Of course not, let's go, let's go eat fried dumplings together, this time it's my treat."

Saying that, the future hokage-sama rushed ahead in high spirits.

"What did you just say?"

Kirito smiled when he saw Kawaki take the bait, then turned to Chizuru and asked.

"Nothing, just let go of your hand, I can walk by myself."

Chizuru opened her mouth as she said awkwardly.

Kirito hurriedly let go of his hand before quickly catching up with Kawaki in front of him before turning to Chizuru and beckoning her to follow quickly.

Seeing this, Chizuru's small mouth curved slightly, running at the left side of Kirito, the trio went over to the village's popular food street.

At the same time, using camouflage art hidden in a nearby tree Uchiha Kari watched the three slowly fade away, he looked at Chizuru with tender eyes, and then coldly glared at Kirito before disappearing in a body-flicker technique.

Soon after, Uchiha Kari told Uchiha Homura about Chizuru going to dinner with Kirito and Kawaki.

"Homura-sama, do we need to stop this?"

Uchiha Kari said as he dropped to one knee and bowed his head.

"No, there is no need to interfere, just let nature take its course, but the training must be completed, you will be in charge of supervising Chizuru when she returns, and you are not allowed her to rest until the training is completed."

Uchiha Homura listened to the report, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, then quickly hid this hint of surprise and said in a cold voice.

"Ha."

Uchiha Kari said in a respectful voice, and then made an Body-Flicker Technique to disappear in the same place.
