"Pocket...... My kids ......"

In perceiving the hug that Dou took the initiative to respond, and the choked words that came into his ears with a slight crying tone. made Ye Naiyu, who was originally in an unreal state of consciousness still half-asleep because he had just woken up, suddenly woke up completely in a spirit. Then he was stunned for a moment, and quietly moved his palm a little, pinching his thigh, and confirmed that the vivid medicine bag in front of him was indeed real. Fang Cai, as if he was afraid that the pharmacist pocket would disappear and leave again, instinctively quickly stretched out his hand, and hugged the pharmacist in front of him who seemed to have grown a lot compared with the thin and introverted child in his impression, and firmly hugged it in his arms. While pursing his lips, he turned the thousand words that came to his lips into the simplest response and reassurance with a vibrato.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back...... Over the years, you've worked hard ......"

For Ye Naiyu, who was born in the root organization, he naturally knows what kind of person Tuan Zang is...... Because of this, from the very beginning, Ye Naiyu almost had no hope that he could reunite with Yakushidou.

You must know that in the years when the root organization was in service, why in the end, the ending of the members who retired on their own often ended in many situations such as accidental death and unknown whereabouts, even if Ye Naiyu did not witness it with his own eyes, he could guess a thing or two......

In other words, in that guilt-ridden situation, the reason why Ye Naiyu accepted Tuanzang's invitation to return to the formation of the root organization again was not naïve to think that Tuanzang would see that he could be a good person and let his mother and son go out of the many contributions he has made over the years for the village, or rather, for the root organization. Instead, he hopes that after he brings all the information and secrets he has in his body to the grave as Tuan Zang wishes, he will be able to discover a little conscience and return his freedom to the medicine man's pocket.

Of course, Ye Naiyu knows very well in his heart that the possibility of this ending is also slim to the point that it is almost non-existent...... But even so, Yao Shidou has already devoted himself to the root organization, and he may die at any time because of those bloody and cruel training and tasks of the root organization. And clearly guessed that the group that took the initiative to inform himself of all this was not at all a good heart. Ye Naiyu also had to bite the bullet and take the initiative to follow the path guided by Tuan Zang and jump into this trap!

After all, even after doing so, the hope of a good death for the medicine man is still quite slim...... But in Ye Naiyu's opinion, it is better than doing nothing, watching this stupid child who is so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed, just stepping into the danger of ten deaths. And then let the rest of your life be immersed in endless remorse and self-blame!

It is precisely because of this that Ye Naiyu and Yakushidou, the mother and son who think about each other for each other, have long had the consciousness of death, but they were far from unexpectedly reunited. Naturally, I used my own personal experience to experience the joy and satisfaction of almost madness brought by the huge contrast of the ups and downs of life!

At the same time, there is a saying that after loss, you will cherish it extraordinarily......

After going through this ordeal, even if there is no blood connection between Ye Naiyu and Yakushidou. But from the moment the two met—or rather, from the moment Yakushidou decided to go to the root tissue instead of Ye Naiyu—the depth of the relationship between the mother and son was definitely no less than that of any pair of real mothers and sons who were connected by flesh and blood! It can even be said that it is more than that!

"By the way, kid, tell me about it...... What have you been through over the years? ”

hugged each other tightly, enjoying the ecstasy brought by the reunion of mother and son, and after soothing the originally restless soul a little, Ye Naiyu barely suppressed his mood swings. Then he let go a little to avoid being emotional, and he used too much force to tighten the pharmacist's pocket. He lowered his head and asked softly with curiosity on his face.

"Also, at first, I couldn't find you...... Where is it hidden? ”

The former question is what Ye Naiyu has wanted to know most over the years...... After all, the current situation of the "Medicine Master's Pocket" given by the group, not to mention whether the authenticity can be believed, even the photos given by feedback according to a fixed interval are all impostor fakes! So much so that after learning all the conspiracies and truths hidden in the group from Naruto who took the initiative to visit, it naturally made Nonoyu, who was already worried about Yakushidou, more and more eager to know everything that happened to Yakushidou under the dark experience of being a spy ninja!

The latter, on the other hand, is after calming down a little and letting reason return to the body. So that Ye Naiyu was able to calm down, think about it carefully, and find a truth that I don't know whether to be proud of Yakushidou or feel guilty and blame - that is one of the basic skills necessary for a spy ninja, Yakushidou's stealth and hiding ability has been faintly shown to catch up, or even surpass Ye Naiyu!

Don't forget, Nonoyu himself is also a spy ninja. And, as a chess piece that can still be reluctantly given up by the group after retiring, Ye Naiyu is definitely an expert-level existence in the spy ninja industry! And then empathy, even if Ye Naiyu's previous physical condition was in an extremely weak state where Chakra was exhausted. But Nonoyu's wealth of experience was still enough for her to find the most suitable places to hide her body after a cursory look around. So much so that in a sense, the experience is still just a fledgling pharmacist, and it should have been easily captured under the search and exploration of Ye Naiyu, a veteran!

But the fact is that Yao Shidou is not only looking around under Ye Naiyu's search, but also always maintains the concealment of his whereabouts. took advantage of the photo of Ye Naiyu staring at the medicine man's pocket, which led to the opportunity to be defenseless in a short period of time, and took the initiative to appear from the hiding place and get closer. Even walked directly in front of Ye Naiyu, but Ye Naiyu couldn't notice that something was wrong!

And this is enough to prove ...... Putting aside the strength for the time being, in terms of hidden form alone, the skills of the pharmacist have definitely reached the level of sophistication! But it is precisely because of this that Ye Naiyu is in a complex mood of not knowing whether to cry or laugh......

After all, this kind of skill is not a training that can be easily practiced on paper...... So much so that in Ye Naiyu's eyes, Yao Shidou performed so well, then, from another point of view, it is equivalent to telling Ye Naiyu what a huge life and death test Yao Shidou has experienced over the years!

Of course, it is worth rejoicing for Nonoyu......

Even if Yao Shidou is scheming or strength, he is no longer in Ye Naiyu's old impression that the thin little boy who barely spoke much from beginning to end when he first arrived at the welfare home can be compared to the existence......

But in the face of Ye Naiyu, the unreserved dependence and nostalgia shown by Yakushidou are enough to prove it...... In front of Ye Naiyu, Yao Shidou is still the same good boy who is quiet and quiet, but well-behaved and docile.

"Okay, Mom, I'll tell you even if you don't ask...... After all, I have some questions for you. ”

No, it's not ...... Almost at the moment when Ye Naiyu's words fell, Yao Shidou agreed without hesitation. Then he slowly raised his head with a smile on his face, enjoying the warm and doting gaze projected by Ye Naiyu's eyes impartially. As if opening a conversation, Xiang Ye Naiyu took the initiative to tell his experience.

"Hmm, what should I say...... Yes! That's right! Let's start with the day I left Konoha Ninja Village and started my mission! ...... day"

Under the simple and clear narration of Yao Shidou as much as possible, Ye Naiyu quickly understood Yao Shidou's experience over the years......

Of course, Ye Naiyu obviously knows that Yao Shidou doesn't want Ye Naiyu to worry, and on some key events that are enough to put Yao Shidou to death, almost all of them are briefly mentioned, or even skipped, and avoid talking about it......

But in order not to let the pharmacist take too much reminisce about those unbearable pasts, and also to let this child's kindness be useless. can only pretend not to know, silently acting as the pharmacist's pocket in these years, the first and only listener who can confide in his heart without reservation.

And after spending a lot of time asking the pharmacist to roughly tell Ye Naiyu about his experience over the years. Just like the second question raised by Ye Naiyu, the topic naturally shifted to what Yakushidou was doing in the previous period......

Because of this, after Yao Shidou responded to Ye Naiyu from his own first perspective without deception, Ye Naiyu was dumbfounded and got an answer that was enough to make Ye Naiyu cry and laugh......

That is the reason why he searched for it in the previous period of time, but he couldn't find any trace of Yakushidou, except that it was because of the sudden appearance of the Great Snake Pill, which caused Yakushidou to quickly stay away...... What's more, and it's also the most unexpected reason for Ye Naiyu, but it's because the pharmacist is going to take him ...... At! Eat! Vinegar!

And this candidate who makes Yakushidou feel jealous, if Yakushidou hadn't said it himself, I'm afraid that Ye Naiyu would never have thought of spending the rest of his life - because this candidate was trying his best to reunite the mother and son from beginning to end, but he never thought that he would innocently lie down like a gun, attracting Naruto Uzumaki, who was jealous and envious of Yakushidou!

The reason for this, if you want to talk about it carefully, has to come from the time when Yakushi Dou followed the orders of "Danzo" and meticulously monitored Jiraiya's actions. But suddenly, in his line of sight, he accidentally found the traces of Ye Naiyu and his party at the moment when he said......

Although it has been a few years, the image and memory of Ye Naiyu have begun to gradually become blurred. is also because of distance, perspective and other reasons, so that Yao Shidou could not identify Ye Naiyu's identity in the first time...... But just from Ye Naiyu's words and deeds, the temperament that makes Ye Naiyu feel inexplicably cordial and nostalgic is enough for Yao Shidou to judge that the person who suddenly appeared in front of him is very likely to be his adoptive mother who has been thinking about it for a long time!

Of course, in order to verify whether this intuitive familiarity and speculation inexplicably derived are true...... Yakushidou's original plan was to try his best to change the position he prescribed when he was sure that Jiraiya was busy chatting with Tsunade and should not be moving around at will for a while, so as to shorten the distance, observe and identify more carefully, and even show up directly at the right time to meet and recognize Ye Naiyu!

But this subconsciously decided action was interrupted and intercepted by two unexpected episodes. Even in a sense, the act of showing up and recognizing each other almost came to naught, and the best opportunity for this mother and son to meet was missed in vain!

And these two unexpected episodes, except for the first one, not long after the appearance of the four of Nonoyu's party, they suddenly appeared, and launched a surprise attack on the four of Nonoyu—to be precise, against the unsuspecting Naruto—and then completely disrupted the Yakushidou's plan of action. What makes Yakushi even more worried and jealous is Naruto's existence!

After all, after Orochimaru appeared and unabashedly showed his cold killing intent against Naruto, the three women, including Nonoyu, treated Naruto as an ordinary child, and did not dare to slack off to protect him with all their might! This allowed Naruto to deploy a counterattack plan and arrangement against Orochimaru during the short respite that the three girls had gained......

But at the same time, it was also because of Nonoyu's inadvertent expression, from that eyebrow expression, the care and worry for Naruto was too obvious. So much so that Yaoshidou, who didn't know the truth, naturally mistook this strange child who had never met him for another name who had also been adopted by Ye Naiyu and replaced his identity and status over the years since he left the village. So much so that Yakushidou, who had already retreated because of Orochimaru's unexpected appearance, and had not been able to see the scene of Naruto's strength exploding at all, naturally doubted whether he was still in the heart of Nonoyu.

In this way, it led to a scene where the mother and son recognized each other that should have appeared a long time ago, until Nonoyu, under the deliberate guidance of Naruto, left the team alone and acted separately, and showed an anxious look of what he was looking for. Driven by the pharmacist's nervous temptation, Fang regained some courage and took the initiative to appear from his hiding place!

In other words...... Although Naruto's actions did redeem the mother and son who were on the verge of despair......

But in a sense, it was precisely because of Naruto's intervention and appearance that his spirit was on the verge of collapse because of his dark career that had been lurking for many years, and then under the "truth" he had witnessed, Yakushidou, who had a deep misunderstanding, was disheartened and willing to fall......

Fortunately, Naruto followed closely behind, and in order to let the three daughters of Nonoyu get out of danger, he took the initiative to take the idea of splitting up, but inadvertently, made up for this unexpected situation that was almost out of control......

And this, probably the so-called, good will be rewarded......
