Chapter 22: Zhang Miao's Determination
Konoha's Anbu was founded by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, whose full name was "Special Assassination and Tactical Squad".
The main task of Konoha's Anbu was to protect the Hokage and defend the village against the invasion of foreign enemies. Sometimes, they were also responsible for enemy scouting and assassination. The nature and content of their missions were mostly extremely harsh and dull.
Therefore, the members of the Anbu were all excellent ninjas handpicked by the Hokage himself. The fact that Ying could join the Anbu also proved her excellence.
And here, Zhang Miao actually dared to poke fun at her, an excellent female Anbu elite. This was undoubtedly a very serious provocation!
A serious provocation would inevitably lead to serious consequences, and the final result of Zhang Miao's actions was Ying pinching him ruthlessly, leaving his face swollen.
"I am still just a child!"
Zhang Miao lay down on his bed, holding his swollen and painful little face, somewhat wanting to cry.
At the same time, he maliciously speculated that under the Nightingale Mask, there must be an ugly face that people hated and disliked!
"I hope you won't be able to get married for the rest of your life!"
At this time, Zhang Miao suddenly missed Kakashi, who was very obedient to him, and his delicious meals.
"Kakashi's fish dishes are very delicious..."
As he thought about it, he tilted his head and fell asleep.
What Zhang Miao didn't know was that not long after he fell asleep, the door opened again. A purple-haired female Anbu walked inside his house.
She walked to Zhang Miao's bedside and looked at the pouting Zhang Miao, who was sleeping soundly. She smiled underneath her mask.
"This little brat is only cute when he is asleep!"
As she spoke, she covered Zhang Miao with his blanket and walked out of the room.
Perhaps because his body was too young, Zhang Miao's sleep had always been very good. He slept from the afternoon to the morning of the next day, and as usual, he was woken up by Naruto's loud cry.
"Oh... It's already the next day!"
Zhang Miao rubbed her eyes, then got down from his small bed, walked to the baby bed next to her, and carried Naruto out of it.
"Oh... don't cry anymore. Big brother will call that ugly Ying to feed you."
Just as Zhang Miao's said this, the door opened with a bang. A familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him and quickly reached out her two fingers to pinch Zhang Miao's cheek.
"Who are you calling an ugly woman? Hmm?"
"Ouch... It hurts!"
This time, Zhang Miao finally experienced the consequences of speaking ill of others behind their backs. Feeling the pain in his cheek, Zhang Miao suddenly wanted to cry.
"Big sis Ying, you heard it wrong. I am talking about a great beauty. How can Big sis Ying be an ugly woman?"
"Humph! You know what's good for you!" After being convinced by Zhang Miao, Ying nodded with satisfaction. She let go of his little face and stretched out her hands to him. "Come, give the Jinchuu... Naruto to me!"
Ying originally intended to say "Jinchuuriki", but just as she said those two words, she suddenly found that Zhang Miao's eyes had changed. His eyes became fierce, completely unlike the eyes of a baby.
Seeing Zhang Miao's eyes, Ying's heart trembled, and she quickly changed her words. Then she was surprised to find that Zhang Miao's eyes reverted to an innocent look.
The change in Zhang Miao's eyes reminded her of the last time Zhang Miao was angry. This also made Ying realize that Zhang Miao might understand the meaning of Jinchuuriki!
"It seems that I can't say this word in front of him in the future!"
Thinking of this, Ying secretly decided that she must tell the other Anbus later that "Jinchuuriki" was a forbidden word in front of Zhang Miao in the future.
In fact, Ying had guessed correctly. Zhang Miao indeed knew the meaning of "Jinchuuriki".
Jinchuuriki was a ninja possessed by a Tailed Beast.
To put it bluntly, Jinchuuriki was a vessel of a Tailed Beast!
Before he crossed into this world, Zhang Miao didn't really feel anything when he watched the anime, but now it was different.
Now that he had traveled to the world of the Naruto, and Naruto was his younger brother, how could Zhang Miao tolerate his younger brother being treated as a mere vessel for a Tailed Beast?
Yes, Naruto was indeed the Kyubi's Jinchuuriki, but he also had his own name. His name was Naruto!
He was a living person, and Zhang Miao could not forgive anyone who regarded him as a vessel of the Nine-tails!
At this moment, Zhang Miao suddenly remembered Naruto's tragic childhood in the anime. Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly clenched his fists.
"Naruto, don't worry, big brother will become stronger, very strong. As long as I'm around, no one will dare to bully you!"
When Zhang Miao made up his mind, Ying had already finished feeding Naruto. After eating, Naruto smiled happily and stretched out his hand to let Zhang Miao hug him.
Zhang Miao smiled and took Naruto over. Then he gently rubbed his yellow hair. Naruto responded with a small cry and arched into Zhang Miao's arms.
Seeing this warm scene, Ying smiled, and her face showed a bit of emotion.
"The bond between brothers is really enviable!"
When Ying thought of this, she suddenly found that Zhang Miao raised his palm and then hit Naruto in the face with lightning speed!
The slap of love!
"Slap!"
"Wow..."
Ying: "..."
What happened with their brotherly bond?
Just as Ying was stunned, the door opened again, and the new guy came in from outside.
"Ying, someone came to look for Ryunosuke, but he did not have the letter from the Hokage!"
"Huh?" Hearing his words, Ying immediately frowned, "No letter from the Hokage? Who is it?"
"He's a Genin. His name seems to be Guy!"
"It's him!"
Hearing the new guy's words, Zhang Miao suddenly showed a look of realization.
At first, when Zhang Miao heard that someone had come to pick him up, he was a little bewildered because he remembered that Kakashi had already gone on a mission since yesterday, and he also had a handwritten order from Hiruzen.
Now that he heard that it was Guy, Zhang Miao suddenly understood that this guy had always been careless. He must be forcing his way here and naturally would not have the letter from the Hokage.
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao raised his hand toward Ying.
"Big sis, I know that guy. He is a trustworthy person. Help me take care of my brother first. I will go and see what he wants to do!"
After that, before Ying could respond, Zhang Miao stuffed the crying Naruto into her arms, then turned and ran out.
Looking at Zhang Miao, who ran out in the blink of an eye, and Naruto, who was crying in her arms, Ying gritted her teeth again.
"This annoying brat!"
Ying had no mood to pay attention to Zhang Miao. At this time, he was staring blankly at Guy, who was standing at the door.
Guy was still wearing his usual green skintight clothes, and he was holding several paper bags full of chestnuts in his arms, which looked at least a dozen pounds heavy.
Seeing Zhang Miao come out, he immediately gave Zhang Miao a thumbs up and then grinned.
"Young man, burn your youth and have a hot showdown with me!"
Zhang Miao: "..."
"Showdown my ass. You just wanted to treat me to some chestnuts!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly slapped Guy's thigh.
"Good! I have never lost in terms of food. If you can defeat me today, I will never call you Big Bro Acorn again!"
"Really?"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Guy's eyes immediately lit up!
