"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 just in time for the minute before the ninja shop closed, otherwise, I don't know when it will be.

Unexpectedly, even the ninja shop had to be demolished and rebuilt, and the four generations came to power really drasticly.

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

"Welcome back. ”

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

Along with it, there is also the aroma of the dishes that belong to the craftsmanship of Kushina.

Sure enough, it's better to eat at home.

Hearing this, such a thought suddenly popped into Chiba's heart.

Although the food cooked by Sarutobi Lake is also delicious, after all, it is a guest at other people's houses, and although Chiba eats it with a wolf, in terms of atmosphere, it is still the best at home.

"Where's Kushina-sensei?"

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

"I'm going to get something, what about you?

Hearing Chiba's words, Yukina gently put the book in her hand on the table and looked in the direction of Chiba, but the corners of her mouth were smiling for a long time.

"Hmm...... I almost didn't buy it, I didn't buy it this time, I may not know when I will be able to buy it, and the ninja shop is going to be demolished and rebuilt. ”

Hearing this, Chiba nodded, and also subconsciously looked in the direction of Xue Na. After leaving the clan land of the Sarufei clan, he went straight to his Japanese-style cabin, and when he passed through the downtown area on the way, it happened that a young ninja who was responsible for distributing the ninja allowance had a few encounters on the defense mission, and he was familiar with his face, and after seeing him, he first made a standard of incredible, and then he settled the ninja allowance that belonged to him during this time, including the salary from the mission, and in an instant, he had a lot of money in his 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 effect was not good, but, because it was getting dark, he ate immediately, so he went back to the Japanese-style cabin first, and did not go directly to buy weight-bearing props, after all, if he made the aunt and grandmother at home angry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And after returning to the cabin, he found that Jiu Sinai had just started cooking, so in the spirit of not waiting for a meal in vain, it would be better to buy weight-bearing props first, Chiba went straight to the ninja shop after informing the two of them.

Unexpectedly, this trip can be regarded as good luck, the ninja shop is going to be demolished and rebuilt, today is the last day of business, if it is a minute late, he doesn't know when he will be able to buy this weight-bearing prop.

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

"Is that so? That's great, let's eat first, Teacher Jiu Sinai said that he would come back late, and told us to eat first, I have already eaten. ”

Hearing Chiba's words, Yukina smiled even more at the corner of her mouth and spoke.

"Hmm!"

At this time, Chiba also noticed the dinner for about five people placed in front of Yukina, and in the sound of heavy footsteps, he also sat down directly and picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

Why didn't I think before, Xue Na, was really born as the eldest lady of the Hyuga family!

At this moment, although he picked up the dishes and chopsticks, Chiba's eyes did not fall on the dishes that were full of color and fragrance, and he still looked at Yukina in a daze.

I saw that at this time, Xue Nai was sitting behind a low table, her back was straight, and in the snow-white kneeling posture, a dignified and elegant temperament in her bones came to her face, although her eyes were empty, but there was also a weak aura of the eldest lady.

"How...... What's wrong?"

At this time, as if sensing Chiba's gaze, Yukina's cheeks flushed slightly, and he opened his mouth and asked a little hesitantly.

"No, nothing. ”

In this regard, Chiba was slightly stunned, and then shook his head as if he had woken up, and hurriedly spoke.

After all, it is somewhat impolite and inappropriate to stare at people like this, and at Yukina, who is blind.

Is that?

Then, after speaking, Chiba's face changed slightly, and his eyes fell on the books in Yukina's hand.

Hirohiko's ...... for Nao

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

At this moment, Yukina's hand, and the book she just read, are clearly made by Hirohiko in order to relieve Nao's boredom, Braille.

Seeing this, I thought of Nao and Hirohiko again, and unconsciously, Chiba's dishes and chopsticks were slowly put down.

In my mind, the scene of Nao's death suddenly appeared. Unconsciously, his fists were clenched tightly.

"What's wrong? Chiba? Can't you eat it?"

And at this time, as if sensing something, the smile on Xue Nai's face and a slight unnatural flicker, asked with concern.

"No!

Hearing Yukina's concerned words, Chiba hurriedly shook his head, immediately restrained his emotions, and said in a very ordinary tone.

As he spoke, he also picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and quickly snapped two mouthfuls of rice, looking like he was afraid that Xue Nai would be worried.

"Oh, it's okay, you can eat quickly. ”

Hearing the sound of dishes and chopsticks, realizing that Chiba was not without an appetite, the worried look on Yukina's face that had not yet risen disappeared in an instant.

"Hmmm......"

Seeing Xue Nai return to her usual face, Chiba nodded again and again, but her mouth didn't stop, eating and eating vegetables one bite at a time.

"After eating, tell me what's going on with Nao, you know Nao's situation. ”

Then, just as Chiba nodded repeatedly, the second half of Yukina's words came suddenly.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

And as soon as these words came out, Chiba almost squirted out the rice in his mouth, and coughed again and again as if he was choking.

How?

How did Yukina know?

His heart thumped.

This matter,About Nao's death,He didn't say anything about it.,And he's just come back for a day.,He didn't mention Nao.,Yukina and Kushina didn't ask about it.,Plus Nao's thing.,For Yukina.,It shouldn't have anything to do with himself.,Nao disappeared in the village.,And he's on the same mission as them on the Kamino Bridge.,If you don't see Nao die in front of him.,It's impossible to connect him with Nao.,This sentence,This question about Nao.,Yukina can't say it. ！

This, what's going on?

Impossible!

Yukina, why do you ask that?

At this time, while coughing, Chiba's eyes slowly widened, and the corners of his forehead were covered with beads of sweat.
