Chapter 171: Breaking

Belch......

An awkward, eerie, almost silent atmosphere shrouded the dilapidated and shabby room, Chiba lowered her head, the corners of her mouth had completely stiffened due to frequent tugging, and her head seemed to be sweating.

And on the other side of this dilapidated house, six orphans shrunk on the body of the eldest girl, some of their eyes were closed, and they buried their faces directly in the girl's body, a "so scared" wooden being, and some were small hands subconsciously grasped the girl's clothes, a pair of eyes glanced at Chiba from time to time, but often after a glance, they quickly buried their faces in the girl's clothes, and after a while, they turned their faces again, glanced at them, buried their faces after looking, and then looked at them again...... As for the girl, there was also a little fear in her eyes, but she was naturally much better than these young orphans, and the whole time she opened her hands, hugged all the children, and stared at Chiba, looking like a mother who was protecting the child, and if Chiba made any moves, she would take the necessary protective measures.

So much so, under this "scorching" gaze, Chiba had the illusion that he couldn't raise his head as if he was a heinous bastard who bullied children.

Then, this scene has been going on for nearly twenty minutes, and to be honest, Chiba feels that he has been keeping his head down like this, and his neck seems to be a little sore.

What to do?

And while feeling sour, Chiba's heart is difficult.

He understands the orphans' fear of him, after all, it is this war that makes them orphans, and it is the ninjas who started this war, and this is the battlefield of Iwakure and Konoha, so that these children become orphans, displaced, and even now in order to face the catastrophe of annihilation, it is the ninja, of which the Konoha ninja is half of the responsible person, and he is also a member of the Konoha ninja, and it is understandable that these children have any strange emotions towards him.

And at this time, for him, rationally speaking, these children are already bound to him, if this group of children starves to death, he will also starve to death here because he can't walk, and now he can't even refine the chakra, without relying on these children, he can't heal his legs, they are already grasshoppers tied to a rope.

Emotionally speaking, he also feels responsible, the guilt of these displaced children, struggling for survival, although the war Konoha is also a passive party, but after all, he is not a passive one, he feels that all the consequences are deserved, and, these children are all children of the country of grass, and the country of grass is also a victim, and it is also passively caught in the war, and even because of this war, the land has become a battlefield, and he doesn't have that reason to be confident, so, whether it's the Virgin or an idiot, although he has endured a lot of cruel battles, but in the bottom of his heart, there may be a bit of peace in his previous life"Two", if he hadn't seen it, he might not have cared, but now that he saw it and felt it personally, he couldn't leave it alone.

And now, whether it is rational or emotional considerations, what he has to do is to eliminate the other party's fear and jealousy of himself, only in this way can he help them, and they can also help him.

However, it's a pity that he has a lot of friends and partners around him, but he is definitely the one who can't socialize, and even, he now doesn't even know how to deal with other people's solemn requests and apologies and thanks, which is really difficult for him to eliminate such a strong vigilance and fear of jealousy.

That is, now he is at a loss again.

This "what to do" fully reflects his distress and his lack of what can be done.

Speaking of this, I'm afraid that except for Konoha, no ninja village would believe that the little monster of Konoha and the treacherous and difficult Takaki Chiba in the battle would be made helpless by a few children, and if someone was around, they would almost have to whisper for help.

"You...... You ......"

However, at this moment, when the beads of sweat in Chiba's distressed head were about to fall, a slightly mature and hoarse feeling, but a soft voice, sounded hesitantly.

Although the tone was tempting and trembling, it was full of courage.

The eldest girl, known as "Harmony", spoke.

Breaking the silence and embarrassment of the present.

"Sister Wain......

"To ...... Do you want to talk to him?"

"It's amazing, Sister Kazuin. ”

And hearing this, before Chiba could react, a series of eager whispered children's voices sounded, compared to the fear of Chiba, the whispers that sounded this time were full of dependence and longing.

It can be seen that this harmony, although it seems that he is only twelve or thirteen years old, is younger than Zong Mi and Yu Ze, but his status in the hearts of orphans is not necessarily lower than Zong Mi and Yu Ze, and even, to some extent, even beyond Zong Mi and Yu Ze.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Chiba almost trembled, his heart jumped violently, and he immediately raised his head in a stiff posture and spoke in a tone that he tried to be as kind as possible.

"Hah!

"It's scary!"

"Don't look at me!"

And this sentence, before Harmony could reply, the orphans reacted first, one by one, they all shrank behind Harmony, trembling, and a series of exclamations came out of their mouths.

However, this can't be blamed on these children, Chiba here is indeed a little "scary", at this moment, the stiff smile on the corner of his mouth, combined with the stiff "kind" look that he is not good at but deliberately wants to express, makes Chiba look like, it is really a little, how to say it?

The expression is terrifying!

"Uh......"

For the reaction of the children, and seeing that even Kazune was so frightened that he shrank back half a step, Chiba's entire body was completely stiffened, and his hands were subconsciously raised, but he didn't know how to say it, and the whole person was basically in a state of injury and despair.

Finished......

It seems to make them scared of me even more......

This......

How, exactly?

And in his heart, there is hurt and despair above this.

"Poof......

However, just when Chiba thought that the gap was opened and closed again, the sudden laughter shattered the embarrassing atmosphere that was about to accumulate again.

"You...... It's kind of funny. ”

In the next second, the hoarse mature but soft girl's voice full of laughter sounded again.

"Uh......"

Subconsciously, Chiba looked up, his face stunned.

But seeing that Heyin covered her mouth, as if she was snickering, those fears and fears had completely disappeared from her face at this moment, Xu is desperate expression on his hand was a little funny, and Heyin, the oldest girl, was amused.

Invisibly, the atmosphere of fear and fear of the orphans towards Chiba immediately dissipated most of it.

"Really, what an interesting expression!"

Then, there was a bold child, hearing the laughter of harmony, couldn't help but poke his head out and take a look, under the infection of his eldest sister's reassuring laughter, at this moment, his fear of this ninja suddenly dissipated a lot, and in the eyes without fear, the ninja's expression was really funny.

"Ahh

As the child spoke, some children poked their heads out to peek, and then, the so-called childlike words, in the case of fear disappearing, the child's first intuitive feeling blurted out.

"Yes, yes, like a fool. ”

"It's funny!"

"Giggles!"

Then, as if a series of chain reactions, the children, who had been jealous of him a moment ago, laughed out loud one by one.

In the laughter, the awkward and stiff atmosphere is gone.

Suddenly, the distance between the two sides in this room was shortened a lot in an instant.
