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

Even when faced with dangerous emergencies, he was always able to remain calm and handle the most urgent matters.

In those missions that Kagura did not lead the team personally, he almost always led the team as the team leader.

Even Hiashi and Kushina would follow his lead without realizing it.

If Kagura had to find fault with him, it would be that this kid really seemed a little dull in his daily life.

Unless he was on a mission, he was either practicing or reading.

Yes, this guy’s biggest interest is reading.

Although he did not aspire to be a writer like Jiraiya, he had a strange desire for reading.

This made Kagura, who knew that he had feelings for Kushina, feel a little anxious.

No, at this age, if you don’t fall in love, why are you reading novels?

What if you two can't get married? How will the protagonist be born?

Unfortunately, even Kagura cannot control emotions.

As a prophet, he could only watch and worry, but there was nothing he could do.

Unknowingly, as time passed, Konoha Village welcomed winter again.

After experiencing several heavy snowfalls, they are finally about to bid farewell to this year and usher in the new spring.

Today is New Year's Eve on this continent.

At this time, Minato and three others had just walked out of the mission center.

In order to welcome the New Year, they immediately rushed back to Konoha after completing this B-level mission.

Finally, we arrived successfully on this day and submitted the team's mission.

Holding the bounty for completing the mission, they walked out of the mission center.

Looking at the sky that was about to get dark, Minato reminded his companions on both sides:

“After you go home and organize your things, remember to gather at Kagura-sensei’s house.

By the way, should we use the bounty to buy some gifts to bring back?"

Long before setting out on this mission, they had already made an appointment with Kagura to have dinner at Kagura's house on New Year's Eve this year.

After all, for the three of them, Hiashi and Minato are fine, as their parents are still alive at home.

But Kushina was alone.

So every New Year in the past, Tsunade would take the initiative to invite her to come over and spend the New Year together at Kagura's house.

For Class 7, this year is also their first year as a team.

In order to commemorate this meaningful New Year, they decided early on to have dinner together at Kagura's house tonight.

After hearing what Minato said, the two of them said indifferently:

“Ah, that one.

We are ready.”

Nani?

After hearing this, Minato was surprised for a moment, but then he felt a sense of betrayal.

We agreed to spend the New Year together at the teacher's house, but you two secretly prepared gifts in advance...

But there was no time to complain. After curling his lips, Minato hurried away before the store closed.

Looking at the slightly aggrieved Minato, Hiashi and Kushina smiled at each other tacitly.

They were not fools like Minato, who knew he was going to visit someone but didn't prepare gifts in advance.

After agreeing on a time tonight, the two said goodbye to each other and headed towards their homes.

But no one noticed that after the three of them separated, several figures silently followed in the direction Kushina left.

Chapter 38 Gift

After traveling through time for so many years, Kagura has gradually become accustomed to some of the customs here.

The main reason is that many of the customs here are not very different from those of the China in the previous life.

For example, New Year.

Although it is impossible to compare the calendars, the date of the New Year here seems to be based on the history of the Sakura Country in the previous life, and the New Year is basically calculated according to the old calendar.

In fact, before the 18th century, the New Year in Sakura Country was the same as that in China, and time was calculated according to the old calendar.

It was not until modern times that people gradually began to use the new calendar to calculate the time of the New Year.

As for the customs of celebrating the New Year, many of them are very similar to those of the Chinese nation in the previous life.

For example, they would paste decorations representing blessings on windows and doorways in advance, and hang up shimeji ropes in the house in advance to ward off evil spirits.

And today, on New Year's Eve, Kagura got up early, which is a rare occasion.

Clean the house from top to bottom with Tsunade.

I don’t know if it’s Kagura’s personal problem or a habit of most men.

If you ask Kagura to spend several hours cooking a big meal, Kagura will not feel the slightest bit of tiredness.

But if you ask him to wash dishes or clean, he will find it a difficult job.

Before getting married, although Kagura was not considered clean, he would still clean his room from time to time because of his mild mysophobia.

But after getting married, since he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of cooking, the cleaning chores were basically taken care of by Tsunade.

As a highly skilled doctor, Tsunade obviously has high requirements for the hygiene of her living environment.

So over the years, Kagura has been enjoying Tsunade's achievements with peace of mind.

However, on this day of the year, Kagura still has to go out and do it herself.

After half a day's hard work, looking at the brand new room, Kagura couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

According to custom, they should go to the temple to worship this afternoon.

But because of Kagura, neither Tsunade nor he had been to the temple in the past few years.

In fact, since traveling through time and having this wonderful experience, Kagura can be considered a true theist.

After all, apart from the gods, it would be difficult for Kagura to explain what she was experiencing.

However, he still believed in the gods of China in his previous life, rather than the strange statues here that could not even be named.

Therefore, the two of them who skipped the sacrificial ceremony usually started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon.

It was said that the two of them were preparing together, but Kagura was basically in charge, with Tsunade just standing there in a daze.

Although Tsunade's cooking skills have improved significantly over the years under the influence of Kagura.

But it’s okay to make simple breakfast on weekdays, but when it comes to big meals like the New Year’s Eve dinner, Kagura has to do it herself.

As someone who is truly accustomed to and enjoys cooking, Kagura doesn't like anyone getting in the way while she's cooking.

So Tsunade, who was kicked out of the kitchen, could only sit on a chair in the living room, supporting her head with one hand and watching Kagura busying herself there with boredom.

The darkness of winter always comes especially quickly.

As the sun slowly sets in the west, night slowly and unknowingly takes over the dominant color of the sky.

At this time, the number of pedestrians on the streets of Konoha was visibly reduced.

On this important New Year's Eve, people are rushing home to enjoy the rare family time.

Since three disciples would also come over tonight, Kagura specially prepared more dishes.

Under Tsunade's admiring gaze, Kagura had cooked numerous dishes and placed them on the table in just two hours.

At this moment, he was making dumplings on the table while there was still time.

Of course, before he traveled through time, there was no such food as dumplings in this world.

But it is obvious that this traditional food from China quickly captured the hearts of the people around Kagura once it appeared.

Both Tsunade and Kushina, who often comes to eat, are addicted to the food made by Kagura.

But what made Tsunade discouraged was that she couldn't wrap this food, which looked simple enough.

Just like now, she could only watch Kagura making dumplings alone.

But just as she was staring at those big eyes and trying to study hard, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll go open the door~"

In order not to slow down Kagura's speed, Tsunade stood up and went to open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw two young men, Minato and Hiashi, standing respectfully outside.

Seeing that the person coming was Tsunade, they immediately bowed respectfully and shouted in unison:

"Hello, Master's Wife~~~"

Because of Kushina, Tsunade and Minato were already quite familiar with each other.

During this period of time, because of his two companions, Hiashi always came to Kagura's house to eat "reluctantly".

After a few visits, he and his master's wife became quite familiar with each other.

So after the two of them saluted, Tsunade said to them in a very natural tone:

“Okay, come on in.

Your teacher Kagura has already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner."

Having said that, he turned and walked into the room.

The two of them were not shy and after closing the door, they followed Tsunade into the living room.

At this time, Kagura had already wrapped the dumplings and was cleaning the table while casually saying to the two of them:

"Oh, here you come.

Sit down for a moment."
