Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Eat?"

The little girl held out both hands, and a round candy lay quietly in her hands. In those bright eyes, there was a clear reflection of Chiba, who was wrapped in bandages and had a slightly stiff and kind smile from the corner of her mouth.

But at this moment, Qianye's eyes fell on that candy, and the slightly stiff and kind smile on his face was slowly restraining.

This is a somewhat melted candy. Although it is roughly round, it can be seen that there are some sunken tooth marks on it. It is obvious that a small part was carefully bitten off by someone, and it was bitten off several times. That's why these sunken tooth marks are left.

It can be seen that this candy is cherished by people, even if it is tasted, the person who tastes it will just bite off a small piece every time, and is reluctant to eat it.

As for this cherished person, Qianye knew without thinking, it was naturally the little girl in front of her.

This is her, give me the candy that I have been reluctant to eat?

And at this moment, Qianye, looking at the little girl in front of her who was holding out her favorite candy with both hands to give to herself, suddenly, Qianye found herself, as if speechless, with mixed emotions in her heart.

Does such a little girl live in a war zone?

Haven't most of the residents of the Country of Grass been evacuated?

Looking at the appearance of the house, it should be in a relatively front-line war zone. The fighting is fierce. There should be no residents here!

Why... such a little girl lives here. Is there anyone else in this town?

How did she survive as a little girl...

Why, not leave here?

Qianye frowned slightly, and in sight, there were gray stains on the little girl's nose, forehead, and cheeks, the old gray clothes on her body, her bare feet covered in mud, and her slightly trembling eyes. Thin stature, difficult to speak.

This is……

war?

"Brother, don't you want to eat?"

Seeing that Qianye hadn't spoken for a long time, and didn't come to pick up the candy, the little girl hesitated for a moment, took two steps slowly, moved closer, raised her hands holding the candy, and said, "It won't hurt if you eat the candy." La! Really!"

Seemingly feeling that Qianye didn't believe her words, the little girl emphasized it again.

"No, you can keep it. I don't hurt."

The little girl's emphasis pulled Qianye back from his thoughts, and he shook his head.

"Really?"

The little girl obviously didn't believe it. She looked up and down at Chiba's bandaged appearance, and there were a few faint blood stains on the bandages. She looked up at Chiba, blinked her eyes, and asked uncertainly. road.

"real."

Chiba pulled out a slightly stiff and kind smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in a very positive tone.

"But, it's all bleeding."

The little girl's eyes fell on the smeared blood stain somewhere on the bandage on Qianye's left hand, her forearm, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, she quickly looked away, and she spoke in disbelief.

"It really doesn't hurt. If you don't believe me, you can come and touch it." Chiba said.

As soon as the words came out, the little girl blinked her eyes, looked at the bloodstain, dodged her eyes a few times, then looked at Chiba, and then at the candy in her hand, her mouth pouted slightly, as if hesitating, as if still A little unbelieving, he moved his footsteps a few times, and every time he took a step, he seemed to think of something frightening, and shrank back in fright.

Qianye watched the little girl's movements, and the fear and shivering in his eyes when he glanced at the blood on his hands from time to time, for no reason, made his heart heavy.

He pursed his lips, closed his eyes, took a slight breath, then opened his eyes, smiled and said, "It really doesn't hurt, and the blood doesn't flow anymore."

Seeing the no longer stiff smile at the corner of Chiba's mouth, the little girl looked at the bloodstain, then at the candy in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then carefully put the candy back into the small pocket, patted it with her small hands to make sure the candy was put back after.

The little girl took a deep breath, as if mustering up her courage, she took a step, and then, the second step... step by step, she walked to Qianye's side, raised her head, looked at Qianye, with a little dissatisfaction in her eyes Confirmed, said: "Is it really not painful? Can I touch it?"

"sure."

Qianye smiled more kindly, took half a step forward, and took the initiative to get closer.

Looking at the bandage-wrapped left hand that came close to her, the little girl blinked, glanced at Qianye again, then stretched out her hand, trembling and cautiously leaning towards Qianye's left hand.

The little girl's index finger poked lightly on the smeared blood, then withdrew her hand like an electric shock, and suddenly looked up at Qianye.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

The little girl looked at Qianye with fright in her eyes.

"No pain!"

Chiba smiled and shook her head.

Hearing Qianye's answer and seeing Qianye's smile, the horror in the little girl's eyes slowly faded, she stretched out her finger again, poked on the blood stain, and looked up at Qianye.

Chiba smiled and shook her head.

Then, the little girl poked again and looked up at Chiba.

"It really doesn't hurt!"

Chiba's smile grew wider.

This time, the little girl seemed to be completely relieved. After poking it twice, she opened her hand, gently held Qianye's hand, squeezed it, and suddenly laughed "giggle", a smile like a silver bell. The sound resounded in this shabby house.

The little girl looked at Chiba, grinning openly, revealing a row of neat white teeth, inexplicably cute.

Looking at it, suddenly, Qianye also smiled, showing a row of white teeth.

He suddenly felt that all of a sudden, the distance between him and this little girl was much, much, much closer.

"Is big sister all right?"

After laughing for a while, the little girl turned her eyes to Xue Nai, pointed at Xue Nai, and said crisply.

"Big sister will be fine."

Qianye followed her gaze, nodded and said.

"Then brothers and sisters, will you stay here and accompany Qianqiu?"

Obviously, at this moment, the little girl had already trusted Qianye a lot, and she no longer doubted his words. When she heard Qianye say that she was fine, her smile bloomed again, and she asked crisply.

However, as soon as these words came out, Qianye's heart tightened. He looked at the little girl and saw her grinning innocently, her eyes filled with the joy of having found a friend.

Slowly, his smile faded away, and he remained silent for a long time.

"What's the matter, big brother?"

After not hearing Chiba's answer for a long time, the little girl looked away from Xue Nai and looked at Chiba, but seeing his smile disappear, she blinked her small eyes and asked.

"Yes, I will."

Looking at the little girl's bright eyes and the hope in them, Chiba did not tell the truth "they will definitely leave" after all, nodded and said with a smile.

"Very good!"

Hearing Qianye's words, the little girl almost jumped up, and the giggling sounded again in this shabby house.

But looking at the cheering little girl, Chiba's smile restrained again.

Put it this way...

really good?
