Chapter 174

After many twists and turns, Pillar and Mito finally arrived at the mainland of Vortex no Kuni.

Then, without stopping, they headed for the Vortex Clan.

Whirlpool Village.

Grandma Uzumakien lives in a small wooden house in a remote corner of the village, and as an elder in the village, she could have had better living conditions.

But the elderly only like to stay in their own rooms, and most of the elders do this.

Entering the village, Mito went straight to Grandma Sonomi's residence, but as she approached the house, she stopped outside and straightened her makeup.

The successive hurries made Mito look a little embarrassed at this time, and naturally there were a lot of dust marks on his body.

Pillar followed her, and also adjusted himself slightly.

After one battle after another, the white robe of the god was not resistant to dirt, so he took off his clothes and put them away.

Then, Mito led the pillars into the door.

The room is not big, but it can accommodate two or three people, except for the tables and stools necessary for life and some other utensils, the only thing that is special is that there is a small table in the middle of the room, on which is placed a broken kunai.

When they entered, the Vortex who was accompanying the old man's bedside had already noticed it and immediately got up.

The woman was probably in her thirties, with long, striking red hair that was the most obvious sign of many of the Uzumakis.

Mito walked quickly to the bed, nodded at the woman, and turned his gaze to the old man on the bed.

The old man's hair was white, her face was dry and wrinkled, and her body was covered with a thin quilt, and judging from her neck, she was already as thin as skin and bones.

The Vortex people are naturally strong, but as they grow older, they become weaker than normal people in the final moments of their lives.

Grandma Sonomi was clearly asleep, and her breathing was soft.

"Thank you, and I'll leave it to me."

Mito turned his head and whispered to the Uzumaki people beside him.

Grandma Yuanmei's relatives have all passed away, and the woman in front of her is just a clansman who has come to help.

The woman retreated.

And Tsuruma just accompanied Mito to stand in front of the hospital bed, not to disturb the sleeping elders.

It wasn't until he sensed a chakra outside the door that he left temporarily.

...

"Patriarch."

The pillar closed the door slightly, turned around, and bowed slightly to the whirlpool Ashina in front of him.

"You and Mito had a lot of trouble on the way back." Uzumaki Ashina looked at the pillars.

"It's all a small problem, and it's been solved." The pillars smiled lightly.

"Well, Mito she... She has a deep relationship with Yuanmei's mother-in-law, so for the next period of time..."

At the age of Grandma Yuanmei, Uzumaki Ashina has to be called her mother-in-law.

"I know, I will accompany her to send Grandma Yuanmei on her last journey." At this moment, Tsuruma seemed to empathize with Mito, and his eyes revealed the most real sadness.

At such a moment, Uzumaki Ashina naturally couldn't laugh, but he was extremely satisfied with Tsuruma's answer and nodded in agreement.

Immediately after that, Uzumaki Ashina left, and the reason why he came to see Tsuruma and Mito was probably to observe the situation of the two of them, and then pass on their situation to the Senju clan in the Fire Country.

For both clans, the safety of both the pillars and Mito is important.

Then Tsuruma stayed in front of the old man's hospital bed by accompanying Mito until just after dawn in the morning, when a ray of gray sunlight fell on the earth, accompanied by a slight cough in the wooden house.

Grandma Sonomi woke up.

She looked very difficult to raise her eyes, looking at the beautiful face of the girl in front of her, Yuanmei's mother-in-law was not surprised, but the pair of old and already a little lost their luster in their eyes, but also naturally showed a look of joy.

"Mito, you're back."

Although Grandma Yuanmei's physical condition has run out of oil, her speech is still very clear, and her speech speed is normal, but her voice is a little soft.

Mito spent the night thinking about how she would talk to Grandma Sonomi when she woke up.

She didn't want to show obvious sadness and sadness in front of her grandmother, that would only make her more worried.

"I'm back to see you!"

Therefore, the girl pretended to be as light as she had always been with Grandma Yuanmei, and her beautiful cheeks were as light as possible.

But despite how well she controlled it, the smile still looked a little forced.

However, Grandma Sonomi didn't care about this, she slowly raised her palm, and Mito leaned her head over in time.

The old man stroked Mito's supple hair as he turned his gaze to the pillars.

"Hello grandma, my name is Senju Tsuruma."

Pillar is also a little unnatural, although his mental age seems to be more mature than Mito's, but in this situation, he is more nervous.

"Hmm."

Grandma Yuanmei replied softly, and then he looked the boy in front of him up and down, and a smile appeared on his dry face: "It seems that you two get along very well." ”

"It's good, but I'm a little clumsy with my hands and feet, and the food I cook is not delicious." The pillars looked at the old man, and they felt very cordial, so they said it casually.

"Then you're similar to Mito." Grandma Yuanmei smiled.

Mito, who was leaning next to Grandma Sonomi, suddenly protested in a low voice: "Grandma, the food I make is not so unpalatable, is it?" ”

It's been a long time, and of course Mito can't be self-aware of her cooking skills, but she's never been convinced.

"If it's not unpalatable, it should be a big improvement." Grandma Yuanmei continued.

Mito certainly wouldn't be angry about this, and she pouted, "I know, but I'm going to keep trying." ”

Grandma Yuanmei responded: "Everyone will have things that they are good at and what they are not good at, and in the face of things that they are not good at, hard work may not necessarily achieve the best results, but those are not important." ”

"The important thing is that I believe that your intention to do this has been truly reached."

"In that case, you'll have to prepare breakfast."

"Good!"

Mito nodded, although she is not good at fancy cooking, but the most basic cooking, after doing it for so long, even if it is not delicious, it will not be difficult to swallow.

Then, for the next few days, both Pillar and Mito were by the old man's side, accompanying her through this time.

When she got up early in the morning, Mito began to prepare breakfast again, and in the house, the pillars chatted with Grandma Sonomi, and they got along very well.

"What a funny little guy..."

Grandma Yuanmei was amused by the joke told by the pillars, and suddenly, the old man looked at the pillars with a straight face: "Have you thought about it?" How do you want to spend your next life? ”

"What kind of way are you going to completely dissolve those things in your heart?"
