"We're back—"

Naruto raised the bag she was carrying and waved it, and trotted over to them as she waved.

"Ming......!"

My eyes lit up under the night sky, and he hurriedly stood up and ran to him, and fell face down in the middle of the way, and when he was about to gnaw on the yellow sand, he was held up by wisps of sand that were finer than the sand on the ground, so that he could continue to run.

Naruto put down all the things in his hand and opened his arms, ran over to meet my Airo, and gave him a big hug.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this way, it took me a long time to find this place......"

Naruto rubbed my Airo's messy hair, coaxing this kid who was older than herself now.

- When he first saw my Airo running over, he always had the impression that he had a puppy that welcomed him home.

Although he never had a dog, only a cat...... Well, if Kakashi's wasn't counted, he'd only had the kind of cat that ignored him.

"Hmm."

I hugged him tightly, for fear that he would run away.

Naruto always felt that something was wrong, but it was not good to push him away - such a person can easily feel lonely, Naruto is clear.

So he solemnly turned his face in front of him without pushing him away, and looked at him very seriously.

"I ...... It's not your hemp. ”

With a sad expression, the child was stunned.

"Ahh Yes, I know, but you said before, although friends are not allowed, but if it were you, it would ......"

I whispered.

“… That's it, I remember it pretty clearly! ”

Naruto began to think that his puppy was a milk dog again, and touched his hair again, taking it as a reward.

Although I'm a cat pie, the dog seems to be too... Not bad?

Someday, if Kakashi had one more one, there would be at least eight anyway, and it didn't matter if there was one more.

Naruto suddenly deserted, and Iairo felt the movement above his head stop, so he hugged him again.

He found that he loved it.

Although Naruto said no, it ...... He seemed to be able to feel the presence of a 'mother' that he had never seen in person.

It was a very soft, warm embrace.

Yakshamaru stood up when Iara ran away and followed him about three or four meters away.

Lu Jing also took his luggage and followed.

Soon, the two of them discover the fact that the other person doesn't seem to be coming back.

"Did you come back alone? Former...... What about the big brother? ”

The deer looked left and right in shock, and there was no one else outside of them, except for the yellow sand and the buildings hidden in the mist.

"Oh, my brother's stomach is uncomfortable, he can't walk, and I don't have much strength, so I can't help him back, so I can only carry these back."

Summoned back by this question, the song of God provoked the act of saying that it would not be perceived as sick, and stated half of the facts, and said it indifferently.

“…………”

The deer was startled and startled.

Kakashi-senpai, really, it's miserable.

He couldn't help but cry about it.

It's really unlucky enough to have such a little broken child on the stall.

Lu was shocked and didn't know what to say. Love to nibble on books

- Poor senior, just abandoned.

He sighed to himself.

You must look for it, otherwise the masked man will probably fork himself into a skewer.

Just as he wanted to propose to the little broken child who had so much affection that he wanted to find his eldest brother, a strange sound suddenly sounded around him.

It's below eye level.

The deer looked around again in alarm, but found nothing.

Yakshamaru was also vigilant, but he could see where the sound was coming from.

- A claw thinner than a fingernail of a little finger stretched out from the thing that Naru had brought back, and it trembled out of the bag, and tried to reveal itself as it gripped the edge of the bag.

It was a creature I don't know what it was, and it was a very small one...... Regiment? It doesn't seem to be as big as your own palm.

Lu Jing looked at Yashamaru's line of sight, and subconsciously compared it with his palm.

"I'm ...... Here......"

The weak voice that came from the strange creature was his senior, who thought he had been lost by the little broken child.

Ming didn't lie to Lu Surprise, because he really couldn't hold it, and then brought it back.

But there is also Tenzo that has become out of the way.

At first, Naruto thought it was fun so he held it in his hand, but because he couldn't find the way around and lost his temper, he almost didn't pay attention to let Tenzo end his life early.

In the end, Ming put Tianzang into the bag, and the Nine Lamas showed him the way, and finally took Tianzang back together.

The contents of the bag were messy, but it was safer than being pinched by Ming, but after such a toss, Tianzang, who had lost almost half his life, lost half of his life on top of this.

He felt that he was very lucky to be alive.

Yakshamaru knew that Shikatsu and Tenzo were ninjas, so he was only slightly stunned after seeing this group talking, and went over to help try to save him from the messy box.

Yakshamaru first put his hands together horizontally with his palms facing upwards and stretched out his hand in front of Tenzo, who raised his eyes to look at him, and without much hesitation, put his little claws on the tips of his fingers.

Yakshamaru, who had received 'approval', carefully used the hand that was being held to squeeze the little arm that could be broken with a little force, and with the other hand pulled the bag and the small box huddled around him, holding up the small belly of the mysterious creature and holding him in his hand.

Yakshamaru was curious about what it was, but it wasn't good to keep staring, so after just a few glances, he held the ball and handed it to Shika.

Lu Jing also took it into his hand with special care.

But he didn't have too many worries, and he could take a closer look at the mysterious creature.

It is round, and the fluff seems to occupy most of the body;

Big eyes - although the seniors are so tired that they are squinting their eyes, they can also see that if they open their eyes, they will be big;

The inverted triangular body has a small pointed head, and there are two small round ears on both sides;

There are tails, which are very short and somewhat rounded;

The arms are not long, but they are very thin.

“… Ming, big brother, what ...... changed? ”

Lu was frightened with the idea of letting the seniors take a break, and turned his head to ask, and the little broken child who was still coaxing a good child over there.

If you ask your seniors, he'll probably answer yourself, that's not good—if you ask a child, it's nothing even if the child doesn't say it, and he's not particularly curious anyway.

"Haven't you seen a creature like this?"

Naruto walked up to Deer Surprise with me in her arms like a doll and poked the creature at its tail.

"No, is it because it's portable?"

The deer shook his head honestly.

Tenzo curled up in his hand as he was poked by Naru.

Round velvet velvet, more like a ball.
