Old man

[3 days after the conversation with Kurama in the Hokage building]

The next three days in Konoha were normal for our team in front of God Hands.

What they would normally spend looking at Guts' memories, they spent these 3 days thinking about what they could do against the God Hands.

If they could find out the strengths and weaknesses of the God Hands members, they could plan a counterattack. But they had almost zero information about the members' strengths.

So they decided to read the best source of information they could get. They knew from Guts' memoirs that Guts had somehow met the God Hands.

So as they continued to read Guts' memoirs, they would probably see God Hands at some point.

Hiruzen said, "We've been looking for information about the God Hands for 3 days, but there's no information about them."

"So we will continue to look at the Black Swordsman's memoirs."

Tsunade, "Where does the book go from here?"

"The last place he stayed was scary enough. Does it pick up from that scene?"

Orochimaru, "I read a little bit of the next chapter."

"I think it's Guts from the first book."

Kushina, "I was wondering if little Guts survived?"

"Maybe someone is saving Guts from that asshole Donovan."

That was the common thought of almost everyone in the room.

But one person had a different opinion. This person wondered how Kushina knew the ending of the second book.

Minato said, "Kushina, weren't you unconscious when we read the second chapter?"

"How could you know that?"

Kushina, "I heard it from Kurama after you knocked me out."

Jiraiya, "Well at least it makes sense that way."

Tsunade, "You can gather information even when you're unconscious. That seems like a useful skill."

"Does it work when you sleep?"

Kushina, "He was watching my every waking moment before I told him not to."

"But I warned him gently."

—------------------------------------—

[Kushina's mind]

If Kushina heard what Kurama was saying in her mind, she would not hesitate to give Kurama another warning

Kurama, "Fucking tomato head."

"Mild warning. He even used the Golden Chakra Chains to hurt me."

"And he calls it a mild warning."

"Stupid tomato head."

—-----------------------------------—

[In Hokage's office]

Hiruzen, "Then let's read the chapter."

"Who wants to read it this time?"

Minato, "I can read it this time."

Minato picked up the next chapter on the table.

He opened the first page and started reading.

—-----------------------------------—

(Guts continued to fight monsters in the dark of night with his huge sword.

He was covered in bruises, but there was no fear of death in his eyes.

As dawn broke, the glow of a small bird appeared.

On the bird was a small figure.

It was Puck, the elf who had healed Guts earlier.

When Puck was on the bird, he seemed to be looking for something below.

His eyes were always scanning around.

When the bird landed on a tree, Puck climbed down.

"Thank you, sir," Puck said to the bird.

The bird flew off again and they went back the way they had come.

After the bird was gone, Puck started talking to himself.

Puck said, "I was sure it was coming this way."

"I wonder if a pack of wolves ate it."

Puck's monologue was interrupted by a tremor in the tree that caused him to fall down.

When Puck looked up to see what had hit the tree where he had fallen, he saw the man he had been looking for the last few days.

Puck looked for Guts in the sky and found him on the ground.

Guts saw the elf looking at him.

After Puck saw Guts, he started to fly to land on Guts' shoulder.

But before he could land on his shoulder, Guts grabbed him by the wings.

Guts, "Bug, why are you here?"

Puck, "Sir, at least try to remember my name."

"My name is Puck."

Guts pretended not to hear Puck speak.

Puck, "Sir, I only left you alone for a few days and you already have many scars."

"What happened to you, were you attacked by a pack of wolves?"

"Would you like me to heal you?"

Guts spoke as if he had not heard Puck's questions.

Guts said, "Bug, why are you here?"

Puck, "Sir, you are a very interesting man.

"You're like the monsters in the stories.

"I thought if I stayed with you, I could experience a lot of interesting things."

When Guts heard Puck's answer, he threw him into a puddle of water.

Puck yelled from inside the puddle.

Puck, "Hey idiot, why did you throw me in the water?"

Guts, "I don't want a pet."

Puck, "Who do you call a pet?"

Guts, "Listen, I'm only gonna say this once. I don't like elves."

Puck, "But why?"

Guts, "Because you're weak. It makes me angry to see weak beings. It makes me want to crush them under my boots."

After Guts spoke, he turned away without looking at Puck who was crying).

—-------------------------------------—

(in the Hokage office)

Kushina, "When he talks about Puck as weak, is he remembering himself?"

Orochimaru, "That's probably how he motivated himself when he was weak."

Hiruzen, "It's not a foreign way of thinking since the great clans think the same way."

"Like the Uchiha clan, when they can't use Katon Goukakyuu No Jutsu, you're not even allowed to wear your clan emblem."

Minato said, "Last episode started so dark. This episode is very calm."

"Is this the calm before the storm?"

Jiraiya, "Keep reading and we'll know."

Minato, "Okay, okay, I'm going on."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

I normally tried to keep the chapters I wrote to more than 1000 words.

But when I continue to write like this, the number of chapters hardly increases.

When there are fewer chapters, people say that maybe I will read it later because of the number of chapters.

That's why I thought of dividing the 1 chapter I published in the day into two parts and publishing it in this way.

So please don't complain that the chapters are short.

I will stop using this tactic in the future if the number of chapters increases a bit.

AND

HAVE A GOOD DAY AND GOOD READING
