Hokage's strongest sword

The Most Precious Gift

Saying goodbye to Mebuki, Nangong Zhe was still thinking.

Not only about myself, but also about all the ninjas in this world.

In the written history of the ninja world, most of the time there have been wars, large or small. Countless ninjas have been cultivated, and they have been consumed by the meat grinder of war without a trace.

After so many years, about ninjutsu, about the art of attack, it can be said that it is very prosperous in the ninja world. But what about people’s livelihood? Almost still in a relatively low-level state. It is still a single family farming a few acres of Susukida.

Nangong Tetsu once lived in Konoha’s subordinate village for a long time. The farmers there are still facing the loess and their backs are facing the sky, and the hard work of the day may become fruitless under God’s dislike.

As for ninjas?

Indeed, ninjas can help farmers level the land and irrigate crops. But the cost of hiring a ninja is more than half a year’s food and clothing expenses for an ordinary family. Farmers who are already tight, how can they have so much money to invite ninja adults to help them grow crops?

Needless to say, most ninjas have a bad temper, and if they don’t take good care of them, they might risk their own lives.

Only those high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants have truly experienced the convenience that ninjas bring to life.

“Brother, what are you doing standing at the door?”

Just as Nangong Zhe was meditating, a familiar voice came from his ear. No need to guess, it was naturally his sister Nangong Rou. Looking up again, the gate of his own house was right in front of him.

“Why, have you finished your work at Konoha Hospital?”

Seeing Nangongrou standing behind him, Nangongzhe asked casually.

“I’m in charge of the inpatient department recently, and I just changed shifts. I’ll be back first. By the way, I have something else to tell you.”

Nangongrou slightly explained the reason why she came home so early, and talked to Nangongzhe excitedly.

“You called our old friend over, didn’t you?” Nangongzhe knew what she wanted to say when he saw the little girl’s appearance.

“Ah?” The little girl was also a little confused, she obviously didn’t tell her brother about these things, why did her brother know?

Nangongzhe looked at Nangongrou standing in front of him with a slightly dazed look, reached out and knocked on Nangongrou’s forehead, and then said:

“I saw Sister Yabuki on the way back just now. After chatting for a while, she told me everything.”

After listening to Nangong Zhe’s words, Nangong Rou didn’t have any surprise on her face, only regret:

“I knew I couldn’t tell Sister Yabuki so early. If Sister Yabuki knew anything, she wouldn’t keep it a secret for too long.”

If Ya Chui were here, I don’t know how to complain about these two brothers and sisters. The words that come out are almost the same.

“Okay, don’t talk about Sister Yabuki like that. Why are you still standing here, hurry up and go in.”

Nangongzhe took his sister’s hand and walked into his house without waiting for his sister’s reaction.

“Huh? Did you two come back together?”

Seeing that Nangong Zhe and Nangong Rou came back together, Zhenbai looked at the two brothers and sisters in surprise.

After all, Nangong Rou is going to work at Konoha Hospital, but Nangong Zhe said this morning that he would go to Hokage’s officeThere is something to do. It is indeed a relatively small chance for the two of them to go home together.

“I happened to see my brother in a daze at the door, so we came in together.”

Nangongrou said, but then seemed to remember something.

“Brother, how is the progress of what you are going to do?”

Nangongzhe looked at his sister helplessly. After all, this matter of mine is quite difficult, and Nan Gongzhe feels very helpless for his sister who knows what’s going on but doesn’t care enough.

“matter?”

In fact, seeing Nangongzhe get up early in the morning, Zhenbai knew that Nangongzhe must have something important to do. But seeing Nangongzhe’s slightly frowning brows, he didn’t ask carefully.

Now that Nangong Zhe has returned, he naturally wants to ask to satisfy his curiosity.

“It’s all right now. The third generation has promised me that I can stop working as a ninja indefinitely. But I also asked me one thing. I hope I can help take care of Kushina and her children.”

Nangongrou nodded, then said:

“Since Kyuubi attacked the village, Tsunade-sama has cured sister Kushina’s injury, but sister Kushina has never been to work at Konoha Hospital. I am also a little worried about sister Kushina, since the third generation entrusted us Take care of sister Jiuxinna. Then naturally it is not easy to refuse.”

“Speaking of…” Nangongzhe turned his head to look at Zhenbai: “Do you know that Rourou has taken on a lot of work for you?”

“Work?” Zhenbai was also a little confused, not knowing what Nangongzhe was talking about.

Sure enough… this girl didn’t even tell Zhenbai in order to surprise me. As a little girl, she naturally couldn’t prepare so many meals after many old friends arrived. In the end, I still have to trouble Zhenbai, and the little girl doesn’t even tell Zhenbai about this, isn’t it because she is afraid that Zhenbai will tell this matter to herself?

“Ahhh!” The little girl was also a little panicked: “Sister Zhenbai, it’s like this. Because my brother hasn’t come back for a long time, this time I will stay at home for a long time. My brother’s friends and I have invited everyone to have a meal at home.”

After listening to Nangongrou’s explanation, Zhenbai understood what Nangongrou wanted to do. Thinking it was acceptable, he nodded. But then I remembered something:

“When did you arrange it? So that I have time to prepare.”

Nangong Rou Shunjia’s little face turned red. If you really know that things are going to happen.

“E… tonight.”

Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Zhenbai just felt that he was not well. According to what Nangong Zhe and Nangong Rou said, quite a few people came. But now it’s time for dinner, and it’s only seven or eight hours. It was a bit hasty to prepare.

After all, when most Japanese people eat, they share food. Everyone has a separate dining table. In this case, it will be very cumbersome to prepare.

“Okay, okay, there is still some time. I will help too.”

Nangong Zhe rubbed his sister’s head, wanting to cheer up his sister.

“Well, then let’s hurry up and prepare together.”

Nangong Rou nodded her head, which was her agreement. Although they looked a bit bitter, they could do all kinds of trivial things in life together. For them, it was the most precious gift that no one could take away from them.
