"Originally, we were just resting in the town, planning to rush back to Konoha tomorrow."

Seeing that Sakura Haruno had already started to diagnose her adoptive mother, Naruto Uzumaki lowered her voice and explained to the rest of the room, "Who knew that when I was eating out, I happened to see Miss Kaga, who was looking for a doctor, and then I knew about Miss Kento."

Naruto is considered to be a more cheerful and outgoing Kakashi class, and he has a good relationship with the Mashu family.

Now that Sakura, who is the daughter of the Mashu family, is treating Minu Zhoujian, it is most appropriate for him to explain the reason to the people in the house.

As for the others......

Sasuke Uchiha, who was standing next to Naruto Uzumaki, kept his face on the ground as always, and judging from his face, he didn't know if he was worried about the situation of Minu Funakami; It's just that judging from his frequent probing to look into the house, this can be regarded as the young man who Zhou Jianwen has seen since he was a child, and he is probably worried about Zhou Jianwen.

And in addition to Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, there was another teenager standing outside the house.

The boy had black hair and white skin, and although he was not wearing a mask, the uniform on his body belonged to the "roots" of Bai Lan.

The boy is a fresh face to the shipwives in the house, but for him, there are still two familiar people in the house: one is naturally his direct boss Hakuran, who assigned him to Kakashiban.

The second ......

is lying in bed at the moment to receive his daughter's diagnosis.

As for the existence of Zhou Jian Min, no member of the "root" department is unfamiliar to him.

After all, everyone in the "Roots" department knows that their leader, Lord Bailan, attaches great importance to it—no, it should be said that he likes Zhou Jian Wen very much, which is not a secret in the "Roots" department.

The members of the "Roots" even reached a consensus that Dan Fan Bailan was not at the headquarters of the "Roots" Department...... Then there is a good chance that he will ||Nine is to go to Zhenzhou's house to find Zhoujianwen, the head of Zhenzhou's family.

The people in the "root" department said that the frequency of Lord Bailan's monthly visit to Zhou Jian Min was even more punctual than that of the great aunt.

While it would not be wise for a man of great power to expose his weaknesses, including those he cares about and value, the people of the Roots know that their rulers dare not shy away from this matter......

Then he naturally has the ability to protect the other party.

In addition, the real boat family's Kan Min-sama is not a good stubble in the first place - this is not a secret in the entire Konoha area.

Bai Lan is going to go out in the next few days, he has already informed his cronies.

Although the people who were notified did not include Sakai, who had temporarily joined Kakashiban on a mission because of his order, he was not surprised to see that Hakuran would appear here at this moment.

On the contrary, I think it couldn't be more normal.

Thinking of the matter between his own leader and the Lady Kan of the Mashu family, Sakai looked at the Sai Ken who was lying on the bed with his usual smirk and Sakura Haruno, who was diagnosing her, and then ......

Turning his head to look at Bai Lan, who was ostracized by the people of the Mashu family, he was still faithfully guarding the side.

- His immediate superior.

Sakai's undisguised gaze naturally couldn't hide from Bai Lan, and after noticing the gaze from the door that belonged to her own eyes, Bai Lan immediately turned her head to look at him.

Although Bai Lan still has that familiar smile on his face at the moment, Sakai, who is famous in the "root" department for not understanding human feelings and sophistication, let alone reading people's faces, still reads a little unkind in the expression of his boss.

Noticing this, the smirk on Sakai's face suddenly changed.

Bai Lan and Sakai - the affectionate look between the leaders and ordinary members from the "root" department was naturally not missed by several ship girls in the house.

For the ship girls, Bai Lan has long been included in the first-level alert list, but as long as he exists, the ship girls will never allow him to be alone with Zhou Jianwen, let alone miss his every word and deed.

At this moment, Veneto was communicating with Sakura Haruno with the prescriptions and potions that Funaka had brought with her, but she still paid half of her attention to Bai Lan's body.

As for Akagi and Kaga, not to mention, from the moment they entered the room, their attention never took their attention off Shiran's body.

Seeing Bai Lan and Sakai's eyes at each other at this moment, Veneto, who had already discussed with Sakura Haruno how to use the medicine, finally spoke, "Lord Ken can leave me and Sakura here, so the others might as well go to the next room to rest for a while." ”

Saying this, the ship's mother, who had been with Zhou Jian Wen for a long time, turned her head again and looked at Bai Lan, who seemed to be preparing to stay here.

"Mr. Bai Lan, please go and rest first, if even you are burned down, we can't explain to Lord Jianwen."

As long as they are people who have a slightly closer relationship with the real Zhou family, or those who know that there has been a little disagreement between Zhou Jian Wen and Bai Lan, they can hear that the meaning of Veneto's words is not for Bai Lan's body at all.

It's just that I don't want Bai Lan to touch Zhou Jian too much.

However, among the people present, except for Saii, which one is not related to Zhou Jian Wen or the real Zhou family? And in addition to Naruto Uzumaki, even Sakai heard the unkindness in Veneto's words.

So except for Naruto Uzumaki, everyone's eyes looked at Bai Lan on the side, as if waiting for this one's answer.

Hearing Veneto's obvious words, the smile on Bai Lan's face remained unchanged, and his gaze paused for a moment on Veneto's serious face, and then continued to look at Zhou Jian Min who was lying on the bed.

It's just that Zhou Jianwen, who is suffering from illness, how can she know Bai Lan's affectionate style at the moment?

Facing Bai Lan's gaze, Zhou Jian Wen couldn't give him any response.

Bai Lan naturally knew that even if he continued to stay here, it would not be of any use: he could not quickly reduce the fever for Zhou Jian Min—not to mention that now that Haruno Sakura, who was the teacher of Tsunade Ji and herself the adopted daughter of Zhou Jian Min, had arrived, it was even more impossible for him to be of the slightest use.

And in the presence of Veneto and the other ship girls, he also can't use any means to take care of Zhou Jianwen.

These loyal subordinates would never allow him to come into contact with Zhoujian in an unconscious state under their noses.

Seeing that Bai Lan didn't speak, he didn't mean to respond, but in fact, Veneto, who wanted to kick him out early in the morning, looked at Sakai on the side.

After noticing Veneto's gaze, Sakai immediately flashed a smile without the slightest emotion at her, and Veneto just glanced at him, and then looked at Hakuran again, "I guess that one is Mr. Hakuran's subordinate who was sent to Kakashiban, right?" ”

She said the fact that she had been subconsciously ignored by several of Kakashiban's children, and then showed a smile that looked so bright.

Haruno Sakura has been by Zhoujian Min's side for more than ten years, and her temperament and personality have been imperceptibly influenced by Zhoujian Min, and she is almost about to become the second Zhoujian Min; Veneto had been with Zhou Jian for a longer time, so naturally he still learned a lot of the essence of his own commander's miss.

She doesn't usually show this because she doesn't need to, but that doesn't mean she can't do anything at a critical moment.

"The two of you haven't seen each other for a long time," she said, the smile on her face even brighter than Sakai and Bailan, "If the boy from the 'root' over there wants to report to your family, you might as well take this opportunity to say everything you have to say." ”

Veneto's words obviously have ulterior motives, as for whether Bai Lan, Sakai, and the people of Class 7 can understand that meaning......

It's all up to the individual.

"That's right," Bai Lan also knew that Sakai's intention in sending Kakashiban couldn't hide from Minu Zhoujian, and Veneto, who had been following Minu Shujian, could more or less know some things that ordinary people didn't know.

Now seeing that Veneto did not hesitate to pierce this layer of window paper in order to drive people away, Bai Lan could only sigh in her heart that her impression in the hearts of these ship girls was really bad.

Well, he did it himself.

Realizing that he definitely can't stay and take care of Zhou Jian Wen tonight - the fact that Veneto was able to move out of the "roots" forced him to leave at this moment, who knows if he forcibly refused to leave, this girl would have moved out of the quilt after being provoked.

For example, the ship ||Cannons and stuff like that.

Bai Lan had a hunch that if Veneto really used the ship on him todayCannon, Zhou Jian Min will never say that Veneto is not a word after regaining consciousness.

- Maybe praise her for doing a good job.

"Since Sakura is here, I'll leave it to you next," Bai Lan said to a few people with a smile, and without the slightest irritation, he was even able to maintain a proper response posture that made people who didn't know him want to give him a thumbs up.

It's a pity that everyone present basically knows what kind of person he is, so naturally no one will praise him.

- The wax is pretty much the same.

With that, Bai Lan lost a smile for a moment, and looked at Veneto with vine-purple eyes, filled with a brilliance that only he and the ship's maidens, who had experienced the previous maps with Minu Funakami, understood.

But it was only a short moment, and just when Sakura Haruno, who was standing beside Veneto, wanted to dig deeper, Bai Lan still returned to her old posture and said in her usual flirtatious tone, "I think Veneto and Sakura will definitely be able to take good care of Kenwen." ”

Veneto nodded, "It's natural. ”

Since Bai Lan, who was the most difficult person present, had decided to leave Zhou Jianwen's room, there was naturally no need for the others to stay.

After watching Bai Lan turn around and leave first, and Sakai, who was Bai Lan's subordinate, also left at his signal, Akagi and Kaga, as well as Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, were also ready to leave.

However, before Naruto Uzumaki left, he still didn't forget to tell his companion who was destined to work hard tonight, "Sakura-chan, you should also pay attention to rest." ”

"This mission ended earlier than expected," Uchiha Sasuke continued with his companion's words when he saw this, and his words couldn't help but be mixed with a little bit of arrogance that belonged to Uchiha Sasuke, "It's not in the way to go back to Konoha in the evening or two." ”

If you weren't someone who knew Sasuke Uchiha very well, you wouldn't have heard the deep meaning of his words at all.

Knowing that this was the thoughtfulness of his two companions, Sakura Haruno, who was still worried about her adoptive mother's physical condition, also showed a light smile, "I know, you guys go and rest." ”

Kaga Akagi, who was the last to leave, looked at Veneto in the house, and then closed the door thoughtfully.

After seeing that everyone else had left and the door had been closed, Sakura Haruno also put down the prescription she was holding in her hand and sighed, and then looked at Veneto beside her, "Why did Lord Ken say that he was sick?" ”

As the adopted daughter who gets along with Funakami day and night, and is also a disciple of Tsunade Hime, Sakura Haruno naturally knows how her adoptive mother's health has been recently.

In her opinion, Zhou Jianwen's recent health has been good - although he is not in good health, he is definitely not weak enough to fall ill not long after leaving Konoha.

Something must have happened that made Zhou Jianwen fall ill all of a sudden.

After thinking about it for a while, Veneto, who was questioned like this, told Sakura Haruno about the purpose of Shukami's trip and the fact that she had solved the matter of the two members of the Xiao Organization in one breath today—if someone else asked, Veneto would definitely not answer so honestly.

But Sakura Haruno is no stranger.

Veneto is still quite confident in her own Commander's education model, and she also believes that Sakura Haruno, who was raised by Zhou Jian Min, will definitely be able to keep her mouth shut about many things.

Just as Veneto thought, Haruno's first reaction after hearing her answer was not what her adoptive mother had done to solve the two difficult members of the Akatsuki Organization in one go; But......

"It's too dangerous."

Sakura Haruno shook her head disapprovingly, "The people of the Xiao Organization are not easy to deal with at all, and it is too dangerous for Lord Jian Wen to do this. ”

"What Lord Jian has decided can we stop us from?" Veneto also knew how strong her commander's temper was, and as she spoke, she poured a glass of water for Minu Funaka at Sakura's beckoning, and then carefully fed her the instant potion.

When they go out, there are always times when it is inconvenient to cook medicinal soup. This instant antipyretic medicine was specially prepared by Tsunade for Zhou Jian Min, and after Haruno Sakura's judgment and confirmation that it was indeed the right symptom, Veneto dared to let Zhou Jian Wen take it with peace of mind.

"Lord Ken once said that there are ten members of the Xiao Organization," carefully wiped the medicinal soup from the corner of his mouth for Zhou Jian Min, and Sakura Haruno sighed again, "Kakashiban solved two more in the previous mission, and today Lord Ken has solved two more people, which means that there are six people left......"

Isn't her adoptive mother ready to take care of all the remaining six?

"No, it's seven," Veneto shook his head, correcting the mistake in her words for Sakura Haruno.

"Huh?"

>>>

"Huh?"

Sakai looked at the boss in front of him with some confusion, in fact, from a long time ago, as early as the time when he first joined the "root" department, he felt that he couldn't understand the leader of the "root" department.

At that time, he only felt that the other party was like hiding in the fog, which was not something that ordinary people could fathom.

Now, more than a decade later, he has grown from an ignorant child to a shinobi who can take charge of himself, but Sakai finds that he still can't understand this Hakuran-sama.

The smile on his face was nothing more than a disguise, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking; His sweet voice and flirtatious tone also obscured all the true feelings he could reveal from his words, making it impossible to confirm his true emotions.

For the people of the "root" department, in addition to the fact that the feelings of Lord Bailan for Lord Kanwen of the Mashu family are true and can be confirmed......

Everything else related to Bailan is like a mirage.

But at this moment, after hearing Bai Lan's words, Sakai suddenly felt that his previous judgment of Bai Lan seemed to be wrong.

Just after leaving Minu Funakami's room, Shiran brought him to this room under the gaze of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha - in fact, Sakai was also surprised by Shiran's unabashedness.

But if you think about it carefully, the relationship between Bai Lan and the current four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate is not bad; And he and the Uchiha family's Uchiha Tanji, as well as the real boat of the Mafune family, are companions in the past. Perhaps for the rest of Konoha people, the leader of the "roots" department, Bai Lan, is a mysterious character.

However, for the three members of Class 7, Bai Lan is also an old acquaintance of her own family.

Although his relationship with his own parents may not be so harmonious - or even delicate, after seeing Bai Lan take him away, he did not cast a "traitor" look at him.

Also, after all, he was originally a person from the "roots".

This is no secret in Class 7.

After following Bai Lan to this room, Sakai truthfully reported his experience in Class 7 these days, including the attitudes of the other three people in Class 7 towards him, every word and deed to Bai Lan.

And after he finished his report, Bai Lan also gave him a follow-up order with that smile.

But it was this so-called follow-up order that made Sakai, who had always maintained a smirk in front of people, show a rare bewildered expression.

"If you want, you can stay in Class 7 forever."

During Sakai's entire debriefing, Bai Lan was eating the marshmallow that he didn't know when he had prepared it, and when Sakai finished his debriefing, he threw aside the third bag that was already empty, and poured himself a pot of tea.

The sweet aroma of the marshmallow has not completely disappeared from the closed room, and now it has added the characteristic smell of tea.

The delicate aroma of tea leaves and the sweetness of marshmallows intertwine in the air, creating a new scent.

Sakai, who doesn't have his own true emotions, can't say whether the smell is good or bad, but there is another reason why Sakai can't make any evaluation of this smell at this moment compared to the fact that he can't make the slightest emotional evaluation of it from a personal point of view.

Those were the words of Bai Lancai.

"Huh?"

The face that was either smirking or expressionless finally had a new expression; Sakai's surprised appearance made Bai Lan, who had many opinions about his expression management since the past, couldn't help but laugh.

But his laughter soon picked up in Sakai's blank eyes, and then he responded to the other party's answer that belonged to the leader of the "root" department:

"I listened to your report just now, and it seems that I really want Kakashiban's life."

Because of his own orders、Sakai, who joined Kakashiban during Kakashi's cultivation, will naturally cause the dissatisfaction of Kakashiban's members.

It's not just that there will definitely be people in Kakashi's class who will speculate about his intention to let Sakai join in order to spy on the Sharingan of the Nine-Tails and Uchiha clans - with Hakuran's knowledge of Kakashiban, there are only two people in Kakashi's class who can guess this, and that is Kakashi's captain, Kakashi, and Sakura Haruno, the adopted daughter of Minru Funaken.

But there are probably other reasons for Kakashiban's rejection and resistance to Sakai.

That is, Sakai is personality is definitely not a good object for ordinary people, especially ordinary people with intense mood swings.

In fact, he didn't care about the Nine-Tails' human pillar power and the every move of the holder of the Writing Wheel Eye, but these were not the most important things for Bai Lan in the end.

In contrast, he was more interested in what kind of waves Sakai would cause after joining Kakashi's temporary absence.

Although he would have asked Sakai to join Kakashiban at that time because of the instructions of the advisory group, if he really just wanted to monitor the Nine-Tails' human pillar power and the holder of the Sharingan......

I won't let Sakai join.

There are so many members of the "root" department who seem to be easy to get along with and can unknowingly detect important information, so why would he send a member who is the same age as the members of Kakashiban and who is not familiar with the world?

After all, his main purpose was to entertain the members of Kakashiban.

And judging from the current situation, the members of Sakai and Kakashiban seem to get along quite well.

"If you're willing, it's not impossible to leave Root and join Kakashiban."

Bai Lan put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile to Sakai in front of her.

"So, would you like to?"
