Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Huh? Why are there so many dishes?"

Opening the gray cloth curtain, Yukina who was helping Hirohiko serve the dishes to the dining table, and Nao who was sitting on the dining chair waiting for the meal came into Chiba's eyes. Obviously, today's dishes seem to be a bit too much. Above, half the table is full of dishes, and Xue Nai is still bringing them over.

Obviously, the four of them can't finish these dishes, er... It can't be said that they can't finish them. It should be said that generally speaking, it is impossible to cook so many dishes.

After all, today is not a special holiday, nor is it a moment worth celebrating,

"have a guest?"

After blurting out the question, Qianye asked again.

"Um."

Hirohiko nodded, but without looking back, he was stirring the dishes, looking a bit in a hurry.

"You just came back, go to the river and call them."

Almost at the same time, Xue Nai also spoke, and at the same time, put a plate of snow-white tofu on the table, and glanced at Chiba who lifted the gray cloth.

riverside?

Chiba was slightly taken aback.

Kakashi?

Then, Kakashi's name popped up in his heart. Apart from Hirohiko, Yukina, and Kushina, the only guests who came to his cabin were Kakashi. For a while, Kakashi I often come here to fish. Basically, when it is raining or snowing, I will have a meal here in Chiba before going back.

And if the rain or snow is too heavy, Kakashi will choose to stay overnight, but this happened only once.

The quilt that Chiba was sleeping at this time was actually the one that Kakashi slept on when he was staying overnight. It's just that Qianye didn't care about it at the time, and didn't have anything to say, so this matter was never mentioned.

Moreover, Xue Nai also said that it is by the river, so it is probably Kakashi, but he is still a little confused. Here, Xue Nai refers to "them", who else besides Kakashi.

"Um."

However, Qianye didn't ask any more questions, but responded, put down the gray cloth, and walked towards the back door of the cabin. The back door went straight outside, passed through the woods, and arrived at the small river. Water and the like are drawn from this small river.

It's better to call them to eat now. After eating, I can start gymnastics training early, and I have already wasted the whole morning.

Today seems to be a little faster, and there is also sword swing training to be added... The two self-created ninjutsu also need to be perfected, and even a basic plan for drug improvement needs to be figured out today. Time is very tight, and today is not enough At one or two o'clock, I guess I won't be able to sleep again.

And in his heart, he was thinking like this, and while thinking, his walking speed accelerated a little, and he quickly stepped into the woods. In less than five minutes, he had already reached the middle of the woods, faintly After a while, he could also hear some familiar voices coming.

"Haha! Kakashi, look, I caught it!"

"oh……"

"Hmph, this is the third fish I've caught. Admit it, you lost! Now it's time for dinner."

"oh……"

"What's your attitude? Are you unconvinced? I have three points, but you only have two points! Admit defeat!"

"oh……"

"Are you ignoring me?"

"Um……"

"Ka! Ka! Si!"

"Bring soil!"

"Huh? Lin..."

"I never said that I want to compete, why are you working so hard..."

"What did you say?"

"Quarrels are prohibited!"

And listening to this series of voices, Qianye sighed slightly, knowing it in his heart.

It's them...

Speaking of which, apart from Kakashi, the two of them are also together and come as guests, which seems very rare.

Hearing the voices of young girls coming from ahead, Chiba's footsteps became faster, and soon, the trees on both sides faded away, and the eyes began to brighten, and the gurgling sound of the river became clear.

But at this moment, the moment the backs of the three boys and girls came into view, Qianye suddenly stopped, and the emerald green brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes, almost instantly, Qianye entered the injury mode.

someone?

In this subconscious reaction, Chiba's heart also trembled.

Just a moment ago, he keenly felt a gaze staring at him from behind and above him, and almost subconsciously, he entered the injury mode.

And in the strengthening of hearing in the injury mode, no movement within a hundred meters could escape his ears.

However, in Humono mode, except for Obito's indignant thoughts, he didn't hear anything, and there was no movement, as if nothing happened.

After a while, Qianye turned her head slowly, looked at the place where the gaze came from, and frowned slightly.

Could it be that it was an illusion?

Gently pursing his lips, a trace of doubt flashed across Qianye's heart.

However, that gaze... I clearly felt it just now, and it was definitely not a kind gaze.

At this moment, there was no sign of anyone obliquely behind and above him, not even in the rear half circle as far as he could see, or even in the front half circle. Obviously, no one was watching him.

"Huh? Chiba?"

But at this time, Kakashi's voice came from the front.

"Chiba?"

At the same time, Obito's slightly puzzled voice also came.

These two voices pulled Qianye out of his doubts. He turned around and saw two teenagers sitting on stools on the muddy and pebbled shore of a rather wide river covered with dry yellow grass. Holding a fishing rod in their hands, they seemed to be fishing, and behind them was a beautiful girl with brown hair and brown eyes, and a purple face. At this time, the three of them turned back and looked at him.

It was Kakashi, Obito, and Rin.

"It's time to eat, are you all right?"

Looking at the three of them, Chiba said with a slight smile.

"Is it ready?"

A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on Lin's face, and she said, "I'm sorry, but I still need you to invite us to dinner."

"Haha! You lost, Kakashi!"

But upon hearing Chiba's words, Obito stood up abruptly, pointing at Kakashi with a proud expression.

"Ah……"

Hearing Obito's words, Kakashi let out a long breath, and even leaned over, looking helpless and unwilling to answer, but finally said lightly: "I said it, when will I compete with you?" fishing..."

"Hmph! Don't play tricks if you lose, no, no, it should be, Kakashi, you are someone who can't afford to lose."

Seeing Kakashi's movements and hearing Kakashi's words, Obito didn't jump this time, but showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and said "with malicious intentions" in his mouth, and that sneak peek at Lin, looking Her small reaction eyes did not escape Qianye's eyes.

I don't care about you...

Kakashi was speechless, but such a thought crossed his mind.

What a poor way of belittling.

In Qianye's mind, there was such a thought.

"Then go back."

In this regard, Lin didn't seem to see Obito's small eyes, and didn't seem to respond to the words between Obito and Kakashi, but smiled apologetically at Chiba.

"Time is not tight."

Seeing Lin's apologetic smile, Chiba hurriedly said.

"Um!"

Lin smiled and nodded, and then greeted Kakashi and Obito to pack their things and prepare to go back.

The two were obedient, and started to tidy up as they said, but Obito looked a little... "sorrowful"?

Reflecting all this in his eyes, the curve of the corner of Chiba's mouth slowly converges.

Just now, was that really an illusion?
