Chapter 94 Hanekawa and Tsunade's Birthday
Chapter 94 Hanekawa and Tsunade's Birthday (th update)
It's August.
As summer began, Konoha Village became much hotter.
"I'm going to the hospital first. See you tomorrow."
Hanekawa said goodbye to Asuma Sarutobi and others at the intersection.
After he left, Yuhi Kurenai, who had gone to Maruboshi Kosuke's house earlier, reappeared.
"Hong, are you sure today is Hanekawa's birthday?"
Asuma Sarutobi asked.
"Of course!"
Yuhi Kurenai raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "No one knows Hanekawa better than me!"
Asuma Sarutobi was suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food and immediately regretted asking this question.
It hurts, mama!
Uchiha Obito looked like he wanted to escape but couldn't.
He didn't want to stay to celebrate Hanekawa's birthday, but for Nohara Rin, he had to stay.
"let's go."
Nohara Lin glanced at Yuhi Kurenai, suppressed the envy in her heart, turned and walked towards the commercial street of Konoha Village.
"What are you going to give me?"
Matt Kay scratched his head and said, "I don't know what to give."
He thought about the green tights, but he had already given them to him before, so there was no need to repeat them.
"Send a book."
Hatake Kakashi had already thought about it before, and explained, "Hekawa likes to read in class."
"Then I'll send it too!"
Matt Guy's eyes lit up and he said.
"It's not nice to give the same gift."
Hatake Kakashi shook his head and said.
"Ah? Is that so?"
Matt Kay was suddenly confused.
"It's okay, we'll talk about it when we get there."
Looking at him scratching his head, Hatake Kakashi suggested.
"Lin, what do you want to buy?"
Uchiha Obito suddenly had an idea and said, "I can pay for you."
As long as he paid for it, it means it is his gift.
Did Nohara Rin send it? Yes.
"No."
Nohara Lin refused without thinking and said, "How can I let you pay?"
"Then go to the gift shop and pick something up."
Uchiha Obito said quickly.
"Birthdays only come once a year, so you can't be so careless."
Nohara Lin looked at him seriously and said, "And Hanekawa usually helps us a lot."
Uchiha Obito nodded reluctantly.
He knew that if he objected again, Nohara Lin would definitely be angry.
"Hong, what are you going to buy?"
Uchiha Shisui spoke at the right time, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"buying clothes!"
A smile appeared on Yuhi Kurenai's face. "I've seen a kimono before. It will definitely look great on Hanekawa!"
It is indeed close enough.
Nohara Lin pursed her lips.
Even if she wanted to buy clothes, she didn't know Hanekawa's size.
"I want to buy a set of medical ninja tools. I wonder if he likes it?"
Uchiha Shisui asked in consultation.
"He'll love it."
Yuhi Kurenai thought for a moment and said, "Besides, he often goes to Konoha Hospital, so he will definitely need it."
"That's good."
Uchiha Shisui glanced around and said, "I'm going to the ninja tool shop first. Everyone will meet outside Lady Tsunade's house in an hour."
Everyone nodded and watched him leave.
"We're at the bookstore."
Hatake Kakashi noticed the Konoha Lore Bookstore not far away and said, "See you later."
He walked right in.
As soon as he read it, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
There was a huge poster on the door.
"The Black Beast, written by the best-selling novelist Lei Huojian, will be made into a comic book next month. Welcome to pre-order!"
In addition to this line of words, there are two elf ladies with pointy ears, one of whom is actually dark-skinned.
Kakashi Hatake's attention was subconsciously drawn to it.
It was the first time he saw such an exotic elf that was different from humans.
Of course, the most important thing was that he was wearing too cool clothes, which made his mouth dry.
Especially the black-skinned elves, so cool!
"Little boy, minors are not allowed to buy this."
Just then, a young woman who was an employee of Konoha Bookstore came up.
Hatake Kakashi was shocked.
It turned out to be a book for adults.
Infinite curiosity arose in his heart, but he finally suppressed it.
"Little boy, what book do you want to buy?"
The young woman smiled and asked, "Tell me your requirements and I can recommend one for you."
"I want to give a book as a gift to a friend who just turned ten."
Hatake Kakashi said truthfully.
"Is he a student at the Ninja School?"
The young woman noticed the ninja sword on Hatake Kakashi's back and asked.
"Ah."
Hatake Kakashi nodded.
"I have a book here that he might like."
The young woman turned around and after a moment, she pulled out a book, "The Legend of Strong and Perseverant Ninja, written by Master Jiraiya."
"Is it Jiraiya-sama, one of the three ninjas?"
Hatake Kakashi asked in a surprised tone.
"That's him."
The young woman smiled and said, "Many ninjas love this book very much."
"Then this one!"
Kakashi Hatake bought it without hesitation.
The smile on the young woman's face became even more intense.
The backlog of inventory is finally reduced by one book.
But she didn't lie, she just omitted half of the sentence.
That is, except for some ninjas, no one bought it at all, and the sales were so poor that only one batch was printed and they were not sold out.
However, Jiraiya's second novel "Interspecies Intimacy Paradise" is quite good, although it is suspected of imitating the Thunder and Fire Sword.
The remaining three people came to the front of the gift shop.
It was none other than Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, and Might Guy.
Yuhi Kurenai went to a clothing store because she wanted to buy clothes.
Asuma Sarutobi said nothing mysteriously about the gift, but he didn't go with them and just left.
"Lin, what are you buying? Let me have some advice."
Uchiha Obito suddenly remembered that Nohara Rin didn't say what she wanted to buy.
"Pen."
Nohara Lin said without hiding anything.
She often asked Hanekawa questions, and sometimes he would write his answers by hand.
Besides, as a student, a pen is indispensable.
"That's it."
Uchiha Obito secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Giving a pen as a gift sounds more ordinary and not that intimate.
"Then I'll give you a notebook!"
Uchiha Obito said excitedly.
Because the notebook and pen are a set.
"Ah."
Nohara Lin nodded slightly and walked into the stationery store next door.
Uchiha Obito quickly followed.
"Wow! So many presents!"
As Matt Guy walked into the gift shop, he couldn't help but exclaim.
He doesn't have many friends usually, and Hatake Kakashi doesn't care about gifts. He came here just because he heard it was Hanekawa's birthday.
For him, visiting a gift shop was the first time.
"Hello."
The clerk walked up and asked, "Would you like to buy anything?"
“Is there any gift that is very youthful?”
Matt Guy asked excitedly.
"youth?"
The clerk was thoughtful, and soon brought many cherry blossom gifts, saying, "These gifts are suitable for girlfriends."
"what?"
Matt Kai was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "It's not a gift for my girlfriend."
"???"
The clerk's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Boyfriend?"
"No, it's my classmate's birthday."
Matt Guy looked at her with confusion.
He didn't quite understand why the clerk reacted so strongly. "I recommend sporting goods."
The clerk resisted the urge to complain and kept a smile on his face as he spoke.
"This is good!"
Matt Guy's eyes lit up and he said, "We can have a youthful sports showdown with Hanekawa!"
Is there something wrong with your youth?
The clerk finally couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Matt Kay picked and chose and bought a tennis ball.
An hour later, everyone who had bought their gifts gathered at the training ground outside Tsunade's house.
Since Hanekawa hasn't come back yet, they are not in a hurry and continue training.
They didn't finish their training until Tsunade came home with a big cake and went into the living room.
"This kid is indeed welcome."
Tsunade couldn't help but smile as she watched everyone hide behind the couch.
Just yesterday, they came to the door and said they wanted to give Hanekawa a birthday surprise.
Tsunade naturally would not refuse, so she agreed to help them.
Night falls.
Hanekawa left Konoha Hospital.
Today was a little busier than usual, and he had to do an extra surgery, so he was delayed.
"I guess the teacher is hungry again."
Hanekawa couldn't help but smile and quickened his pace.
Having been with Tsunade for almost four years, he had long been accustomed to feeding her every day.
"You haven't come back yet?"
Hanekawa was surprised to see that the lights in the house were not on.
However, this happened several times because Tsunade came back late from gambling.
Hanekawa took out the key and opened the door.
He suddenly raised his eyebrows, a look of alertness on his face.
Just then, the lights came on.
Not a light above your head, but a candle.
"Happy birthday, Hanekawa!"
Yuhi Kurenai, Nohara Rin and others gathered around a cake and shouted to him in unison.
"Thank you."
Hanekawa was stunned, his heart felt warm and a smile appeared on his face.
"Make a wish and blow out the candles."
Tsunade smiled and said.
She was quite happy to see this scene, which reminded her of Hashirama Senju's ideal.
Maybe Hanekawa can do it after he becomes Hokage.
"Ah."
Hanekawa walked forward, put his hands together, made a wish, and blew hard to put out the candle.
"Eat cake first."
Tsunade was diligent for once, she took out a knife, cut the cake and gave it to them.
After eating the cake, it’s time to give gifts.
"Hanekawa."
Xihihong took out an exquisite gift box and said, "Open it after you get home."
She wanted to see Hanekawa put on new clothes with her own eyes.
"Row."
Hanekawa looked at it curiously and then put it away.
"Let's have a tennis match tomorrow when we're free!"
Matt Guy took out his tennis racket and said excitedly.
"Thank you."
The corners of Hanekawa's mouth twitched.
You bought this gift for yourself, right?
"this is for you."
Hatake Kakashi took out a book.
"...?"
Hanekawa looked at "The Legend of Strong and Perseverant Ninja" in silence.
He had read this novel written by Jiraiya a long time ago, but from a modern perspective, it is hard to describe.
"Hekawa, thank you for your guidance all along."
Nohara Lin said seriously.
"And my gift."
Uchiha Obito didn't wait for Hanekawa to answer Nohara Rin before he handed it to her.
Finally it was Asuma Sarutobi's turn. He didn't say much, just said that you will definitely be satisfied.
Because most of them were wrapped in gift boxes, Hanekawa had no idea what they were giving.
Uchiha Shisui did not use a gift box, but gave a set of ninja tools used by medical ninjas.
"See you tomorrow."
An hour later, the birthday party ended and everyone said goodbye and left.
"Your friends are all pretty nice."
Tsunade smiled and said.
"Indeed."
Hanekawa said as he cleared the table.
"What did you wish for this year?"
Tsunade crossed her arms and complained, "Don't be the same person as last year again."
"You guessed it right, but there's no reward."
Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and said.
“It’s the same wish every year, is it still a wish?”
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's called a curse."
"It's good that the curse can be successful."
Hanekawa said nonchalantly.
"Do you really want me to be Hokage?"
Tsunade asked in confusion.
"If you become the Hokage, I can walk around Konoha Village like a tyrant and no one will dare to mess with me!"
Hanekawa coughed lightly and said.
"You are a dreamer!"
Tsunade raised her hand in dissatisfaction when she heard this and tapped his forehead.
"Ah? Is it impossible to achieve this?"
Hanekawa blinked and asked.
"Just wait!"
Tsunade stood up, looking speechless, and said, "It depends on my mood!"
"teacher."
Hanekawa juggled a gift box and said, "Happy birthday."
Tsunade looked slightly stunned.
She took the gift box and said, "I didn't prepare any gifts, so take this instead."
Tsunade leaned down and kissed him on the cheek.
"Eh?"
Hanekawa was caught off guard by her sudden attack.
It was only after she left that he realized what was happening and revealed an expression of pity.
It was too fast! He didn't even have a chance to fight back!
Absolutely abominable!
But the only good news is that it’s not on the forehead this time, so probably nothing will happen.
Hanekawa finished washing the dishes and reappeared in the living room.
He sat opposite Tsunade and took out all the gift boxes.
Unboxing is undoubtedly a pleasure.
Especially for blind boxes, it means double happiness.
"Remember to ask for leave tomorrow."
Tsunade said as she suddenly thought of something.
"Ask for leave?"
Hanekawa opened Nohara Lin's gift box and asked, "Is there a new mission?"
"Ah."
Tsunade explained, "The Anbu just came to inform me that the old man has a mission he wants to assign to me."
There are two types of ninja missions.
One way is to go to the task hall and choose by yourself.
One is designated by Konoha’s top leaders, especially the Hokage.
In the latter case, it is generally impossible to refuse.
"The Anbu didn't tell me what the mission was."
Tsunade said nonchalantly, "Since it was your birthday, I wasn't in a rush to see the old man."
"The mission you were asked to take on is not suitable for me, right?"
Hanekawa looked at Nohara Lin's gift, which included a pen and a sachet.
"We'll see what happens tomorrow."
Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "If it's too difficult, then refuse."
"Teacher, aren't you afraid that Hokage-sama will be angry?"
Hanekawa couldn't help but laugh.
"Whatever he wants."
Tsunade said confidently, "Jiraiya is outside every day, and he doesn't care."
"The teacher is right!"
Hanekawa echoed.
He finally understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen had no authority in front of Tsunade.
In addition to his own personality, the main reason is that he has not established the image of a Hokage and a teacher.
This is probably what it means when the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked.
Four thousand words.
