Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

Next day, night, cabin.

"for you."

Xue Nai looked at the slightly tired Chiba who raised the gray cloth curtain, and handed out the scroll in her hand.

"This is……"

Qianye was slightly taken aback, looked at the scroll, took it subconsciously, and stepped inside at the same time.

"All the decisions made by Troop Commander Watanabe today, all the intelligence materials he consulted, and the relevant information of all the intelligence materials he consulted, as well as the changes in the defense force, and the intelligence records obtained from the investigation, are all on it."

Xue Nai rubbed her temples, and said, while speaking, she sat down a little tired, obviously a little tired on the first day of taking office.

That's right, today is the day when Yukina takes up the post in the defense force. After all, it is the order of the third Hokage, and there is an appendix from the head of the Hyuga clan in Yukina's appointment letter. Although Yukina is a bit reluctant, she still has to take up the post.

And judging by her appearance at this time, today, she seems to be a little exhausted.

"Tired?"

Qianye looked at the scroll in his hand, and then at Xue Nai, with some surprise on his face.

Yesterday, he asked Xue Nai to sort out the implementation of Kenshin Watanabe's plan and bring it back. Although Xue Nai was surprised, he still agreed.

It's just that Qianye didn't expect that Xue Nai would start to organize and bring back information for herself after the first day passed.

At this moment, a warm current surged through his heart for no reason.

In his mind, it will take some time for this scroll of information about Kenshin Watanabe to get into his hands. It will probably take two or three days or even a week before Xue Nai can adapt to the situation over there. Work, and bring the intel back to yourself.

Looking at Xue Nai's tired expression, one can imagine how much effort she has put in for this information, and it can also be seen how much she values ​​herself.

"It's okay, I'm going to take a shower."

Hearing Qianye's words, the tired look on Xue Nai's face seemed to subside, she shook her head, smiled slightly, and then stood up.

"Oh, if you go back upstairs, call Nao and let her get up, it's time for dinner."

Qianye hurriedly gave way, and when Xue Nai passed by him, he opened his mouth and said.

"oh."

Xue Nai responded, and went upstairs with tired steps to get a change of clothes.

After hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Qianye's eyes fell on the scroll, and his brows were slightly frowned.

To Watanabe Kenshin, he was still somewhat uneasy.

Originally, Chiba didn't have any doubts about Kenshin Watanabe, and he didn't have any doubts about his abilities. He didn't need Xue Nai to do this at first, but he saw the way Kenshin Watanabe went back that day. Regarding his own request, Chiba is very suspicious of Kenshin Watanabe's state, and his mentality can be said to be a bit bad.

Judging from his performance, Watanabe Kenshin has not completely overcome the previous failure, and even feels a little psychologically shadowed. What he shows is a little lack of confidence, even to the point where it doesn't matter if the command is handed over.

Qianye even felt that he was afraid, that he was evading the command and the responsibility of the command.

This made Chiba have to prepare a backup plan, and when he saw Xue Nai's letter of appointment, the idea of ​​asking Xue Nai to visit Watanabe Kenshin for him, so as to prevent him from making any big troubles came into being.

"Anyway, let's do this first. The annihilation plan will start in a few days. I hope nothing will happen."

Chiba murmured to herself, and then directly started to live and cook.

...

An hour later, after dinner, Xue Nai went directly back upstairs to rest, looking really tired, and watching Xue Nai's figure disappear behind the gray cloth curtain all the way, Chiba pursed her lips.

"Do you feel distressed now?"

And at this time, Nasu's teasing voice, as clear as ice water, sounded.

"Well……"

In this regard, Chiba's mouth twitched, but he didn't say much, just expressed embarrassment.

Distressed...

"So, both of you are idiots."

However, Nao didn't let go of his plan, and said very bluntly, and even brought Xue Nai in during the words.

"cough!"

Chiba coughed lightly, lowered her face hurriedly, spread out the scroll that Xue Nai gave, and treated Nao, he has always treated Nao as he did to Kushina.

Besides, he didn't have any reason to refute Nao. Although her words were blunt, there was no hostility in her tone. Still caring about everyone here in his own way.

There are even friends from the same period who often came here in the cabin during that time, especially the one who is of the same clan as her, who often likes to lean on the old and sell the old "Uchiha's crane tail" in front of Hirohiko, Uchiha Obito.

Basically, if you bring soil, you will be choked to death by her, and the phrase "stupid brother" has basically become a standard with soil.

However, with Nao around, most of the moments when Obito was stupid were almost gone.

It can be seen that Nao's way of caring should be this kind of undisguised scolding.

"When will Hirohiko come back today?"

Seemingly realizing that Chiba's silence was Jin's attitude, Nao didn't keep counting, but changed to another question. When she was speaking, her hand was still moving steadily on the book, as if asking inadvertently.

"I don't know. It's probably around nine o'clock. He's going to Hyuga's house today."

Chiba explained that after agreeing to himself yesterday, Hirohiko went to Hinata's house before dinner today, saying that Hinata Yukitaka happened to be looking for something with him, so he went to grab a meal by the way.

But Chiba knew that Hirohiko had already started to act.

"Huh? Isn't their sparring scheduled for the weekend?"

Hearing this, Nao's hand paused for a moment, and asked suspiciously.

Could it be... Nao could sense this?

With the tone of this sentence, Qianye seemed to hear the question "What are you doing secretly again?"

"Well, I don't know about that."

The cold air from behind slowly surged up, Qianye tilted his head slightly, and gave a universal answer of "I don't know".

"Oh, is that so?"

Nao raised her head and "looked" at Chiba.

"Well, after all, I don't know about their affairs."

Obviously, Qianye's body stiffened a bit, and her head lowered even deeper.

"Okay, then I'll go to bed first."

But after saying this, Nao didn't ask any more questions, but closed the book heavily with a "snap", then got up, and left the kitchen. Stopped, everything is quiet.

It can be regarded as a fool.

Chiba quietly wiped off her sweat. Hirohiko had made it very clear before that Nao should not know about investigating Hinata. He can't be exposed. At least, nothing can be said, even if Nao has already noticed something.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Chiba's attention was focused on Xue Nai's information scroll, but after reading it at a glance, Chiba's eyes slowly widened, and a look of surprise slowly emerged. .

This information...

Xue Nai, could it be said that he is very talented as an intelligence officer?
