Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"I'm back."

With a creak, the door of the Japanese-style cabin was slowly opened, and then Chiba's slightly tired voice came from outside the door.

Fortunately, it was one minute before the closing time of the ninja shop, otherwise, I don't know when I would have to wait.

Unexpectedly, even the ninja shop had to be demolished and rebuilt, and it was really drastic for the fourth generation to come to power.

And following this sound, Chiba, who was sitting on the corridor outside the door, took off her shoes and socks, and stepped into the Japanese-style log cabin with slightly heavy footsteps.

"Welcome back."

At this time, Xue Nai's warm voice came from the living room.

What followed was the fragrance of vegetables that belonged to Jiu Xinnai's craftsmanship.

Sure enough, it is better to eat at home.

Hearing this sound, such a thought suddenly popped into Qianye's mind.

Although the food cooked by Sarutobi Lake Biwa is also delicious, but after all, he is a guest at someone else's house. Although Chiba also devours the food, in terms of atmosphere, it is still the best at home.

"Where is Teacher Kushina?"

Walking into the living room, Chiba looked at the kitchen, and saw that there was no one inside, the table and the carpet had not changed, and the room was so quiet that even the sound of the pendulum could be heard clearly, subconsciously, Chiba felt Jiu Xin Nai is not at home.

"Going to get things, how about you? Have you bought the weight-bearing props?"

Hearing Qianye's words, Xue Nai gently put the book in her hand on the table, and looked in Qianye's direction, but there was a long-lost smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Well... I almost didn't buy it. I didn't buy it this time. Maybe I don't know when I can buy it. The ninja store is going to be demolished and rebuilt."

Hearing this, Chiba nodded, subconsciously looking in Xue Nai's direction. After leaving the Sarutobi clan's clan, he went straight to his Japanese-style cabin. When passing by the bustling area on the way, it happened that a young ninja who was in charge of distributing ninja allowances was a young ninja who had served in defense missions. Familiar with each other after a few encounters, after meeting him, he was unbelievable at first, and then conveniently settled his ninja allowance including the salary he received from missions during this period of time. In an instant, he There is a lot of money in the account.

After saying goodbye, seeing so much money, Chiba also thought about changing the weight-bearing props. After all, with his current strength, the previous ones were a bit ineffective. However, because it was getting dark and he had dinner immediately, he also I went back to the Japanese-style cabin first, and didn't go directly to buy weight-bearing props. After all, if the aunt at home was angry, the consequences would be disastrous.

After returning to the cabin, she found that Kushina had just started cooking, so, thinking that instead of waiting for a meal, it would be better to buy weight-bearing props first, Chiba went straight after notifying the two of them. Ninja shop.

Unexpectedly, this trip was considered lucky. The ninja shop was going to be demolished and rebuilt. Today was the last day of business. If it was a minute late, he didn't know when he would be able to buy the weight props.

At this time, Chiba was also wearing a new specification weight-bearing prop.

"Is that so? That's really great. Let's eat first. Teacher Jiuxinna said that he would come back late and asked us to eat first. I have already eaten."

Hearing Qianye's words, Xue Nai smiled even more, and said.

"Um!"

At this time, Qianye also noticed the dinner for about five people placed in front of Xue Nai, and amidst the heavy footsteps, he also sat down directly and picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

Why didn't I think before that, Xue Nai was really born as the young lady of the Hinata family!

At this moment, even though he picked up the bowls and chopsticks, Chiba's eyes did not fall on the delicious dishes, and he still looked at Xue Nai in a daze.

At this time, Xue Nai was sitting behind the low table, with her back straight, and in her snow-white kneeling posture, a dignified and elegant temperament in her bones rushed towards her face. Although her eyes were empty, there was also a kind of softness Missy aura.

"What... what's wrong?"

And at this time, as if feeling Qianye's gaze, Xue Nai's cheeks blushed slightly, and she opened her mouth and asked falteringly.

"No, nothing."

Regarding this, Qianye was slightly taken aback, then shook her head as if awakened from a start, and hurriedly opened her mouth to speak.

After all, it is impolite and inappropriate to stare at people like this, especially at Xue Nai who is blind.

That is?

Then, after speaking, Qianye's face changed slightly, and her eyes fell on the books in Xue Nai's hand.

Hirohiko made for Nao...

Suddenly, his heart became heavy, and a clear thought floated in his mind.

At this moment, Yukina's hand, and the book she was reading just now, are clearly novels written by Hirohiko to relieve Nao's boredom, Braille novels.

Seeing this, thinking of Nao and Hirohiko again, Chiba's bowl and chopsticks were slowly put down without knowing it.

In his mind, the scene of Nao's death suddenly emerged. Before he knew it, his fists were clenched tightly.

"What's the matter? Chiba? Can't eat?"

And at this time, as if aware of something, the smile on Xue Nai's face and a little unnaturalness suddenly retracted, and she asked with concern.

"No! It's okay!"

Hearing Xue Nai's concerned words, Chiba quickly shook her head, immediately restrained her emotions, and said in a very normal tone.

As he said that, he also picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and quickly slapped two mouthfuls of rice. It seemed that he was afraid that Xue Nai would be worried.

"Oh, it's fine, you can eat quickly."

Hearing the sound of bowls and chopsticks, and realizing that Chiba didn't have an appetite, the worry that had not yet surfaced on Xue Nai's face disappeared instantly.

"Um……"

Seeing Xue Nai's face returning to normal, Chiba nodded again and again, but kept talking, taking food and vegetables bite by bite.

"After eating, tell me, what happened to Nao, you know Nao's situation, right?"

Then, just as Chiba nodded again and again, the second half of Xue Nai's sentence came suddenly.

"Cough! Cough cough cough!"

And as soon as these words came out, Qianye almost spat out the food in his mouth, and even coughed repeatedly as if he was choking.

how?

How did Xue Nai know?

His heart skipped a beat.

Regarding this matter, about Nao's death, he didn't tell anyone about it, and he just came back for a day, and he didn't mention Nao, and Yukina and Kushina didn't ask about it, plus Nao For Xue Nai, it should have nothing to do with him. Nao disappeared in the village, and he was performing the mission of Kannabi Bridge just like them. If he hadn't seen Nao die in the In front of her, it is impossible to connect him with Nao, this sentence, this question about Nao, it is impossible for Xue Nai to say it!

Here, what's going on?

impossible!

Xue Nai, why would you ask such a question?

But at this time, while coughing, Qianye's eyes slowly widened, and beads of sweat appeared on the forehead.
