Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Chiba..."

Seeing Chiba whose eyes fell on Hirohiko and slowly clenched his fists, Xue Nai couldn't help but leaned down, and lightly pressed Chiba's shoulder with her slender hands, and there was a concerned murmur in her mouth.

"I'm fine."

Regarding this, Qianye turned around, looked at Xue Nai, showed a smile, and said calmly.

Chiba...

Is this a smile that I forced to show so I don't worry...

Really... are you okay?

However, this sentence, as well as the smile that hoped that Xue Nai could rest assured, did not reassure Xue Nai, but made Xue Nai more worried.

"Xue Nai... Do you still remember the day the three of us graduated early?"

But at this moment, seeing Xue Nai's slightly frowning brows, which was obviously more worried, Qianye slowly suppressed her smile, turned her gaze to that smile without regret, and changed the topic.

The day you graduated with Hirohiko?

Hearing this, Xue Nai was slightly taken aback.

"Well, how could I forget that was when the three of us first met. I still remember that when we said goodbye at the end, Hirohiko was half a beat too late. After we left, he stupidly added goodbye. Actually, that At that time, I didn't know whether to respond or not to respond, and later, when I realized that I wanted to go back and respond to Hirohiko, he had already left."

Then, as if recalling that time, Xue Nai smiled slightly and said.

"Yeah, me too."

Regarding this, Chiba's mind flashed the appearance of the three of them saying goodbye after graduating from the ninja school. At that time, the three of them were in three directions. After he and Xue Nai said goodbye, Hirohiko didn't seem to think of saying goodbye. Then after they said goodbye to each other, Hirohiko remembered to say goodbye after a while.

In fact, they all heard it that day, but they didn't realize it, and when they realized that they wanted to respond to Hong Yan, Hong Yan had already left.

That goodbye, after all, still did not come out.

Although it was just a farewell, a goodbye, it was not an important thing at all, and they didn't know each other very well at the time, and they were both used to being lonely, and they were not good at communication, so it's no big deal if they missed it.

However, at this moment, looking at Hirohiko's smile, for some reason, such a picture always lingers in Chiba's mind.

Just like the current situation, Hirohiko said goodbye first, and when they wanted to say goodbye back, he had already left.

"This guy, it's not a good thing to laugh."

And at this time, thinking of this, Qianye pursed her lips, without moving her eyes at all, and said while smiling slightly.

"yes."

Regarding this, Yukina, who was also looking at Hirohiko's smile, also showed a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, nodded and said.

"I think we should have reminded him earlier."

Hearing this, Qianye took a slight breath and spoke again.

"I feel so too."

And hearing Qianye's words, Xue Nai smiled and nodded.

But, unknowingly, a layer of mist was covered in her beautiful white pupils.

"We can't show a sad look in front of him! This guy is very sensitive."

At this time, Qianye took another deep breath and said.

"Um."

Regarding this, the corners of Xue Nai's smiling mouth trembled slightly, and the water in her eyes suddenly thickened, but she didn't speak, but nodded heavily.

when……

When did you get so close with this guy?

Is it that time?

Did you see him practicing shuriken so hard?

But at this time, Chiba didn't seem to notice Xue Nai's response, she just looked at Hirohiko's smile, and one scene after another flashed in her mind.

During Kushina's free training, the boy who happened to catch a glimpse was practicing shuriken hard, and his eyes showed the spirit of not admitting defeat.

After he had a battle with Yeyue and was admitted to the hospital, he took care of himself every step of the way, and desperately helped him find out information and assist him.

Later, every night, with silent companionship, when we shared the livelihood after living together...

All the memories related to Hongyan flashed by like a fast-moving movie at this moment.

Although most of the time with Hirohiko was silent and didn't talk much, if Qianye didn't speak or ask, this guy would never say a word.

I won't ask a single word.

If I have something to do, everyone may shirk because of their own affairs, but he alone will not.

He didn't speak, and didn't ask much.

However, as long as he is needed for what he wants to do, he will always appear in front of him at the first time.

Almost on call.

Moreover, absolutely reliable.

Although it looks a bit like his subordinate, even in the eyes of some people, it is a bit humble, but Chiba knows that Hirohiko has pushed aside everything, even the time with Nao, to cooperate with him.

This is not humble, but sincere.

Although Hiroko has always had a poker face, looks very cold, and definitely has that kind of cool energy, but in his heart, he is the most warm-hearted.

Moreover, Chiba believes that anyone who is regarded as a friend and partner by Hiroko will receive such treatment.

Because, he is such a person, a guy who can go through fire and water for a friend, give one friendship, and get ten friendships from him.

Calm down, Chiba, you have to calm down!

But at this moment, as scenes emerged, Qianye tightly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Chi... Chiba?"

Seemingly noticing Chiba's lowered head, Xue Nai, with misty eyes, hurriedly said.

"It's okay...I'm fine..."

And hearing Xue Nai's voice, although Chiba kept her eyes closed and bowed her head, she still spoke calmly.

"But...but..."

However, this sentence still didn't play any role in alleviating Xue Nai's worries, but made Xue Nai more worried.

At this moment, Xue Nai's hands had already touched his shoulders, but she suddenly hugged him up.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

But at this moment, a sound of hammering on the chest suddenly sounded.

"Chiba..."

Hearing this voice, Xue Nai's hands tightened, but she hugged Qianye tightly, two lines of tears, but they had already welled up in her eyes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

And in this sound, the sound of hammering the chest sounded again.

At this moment, without knowing when, Chiba's hand was already tightly holding Hirohiko's pale hand, clenched into a fist, hammering his chest again and again.

hateful!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

My best friend!

That's it!

It's gone!

There were no tears in her tightly closed eyes, no sobs on her trembling lips, but, Chiba...

Already distraught!
