Chapter 36 Jade

Some time later, Moth began her move.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's the hot season. One day in the summer, Tsunade's mother gave birth to a child, a male named Rope Tree.

That night, after the guests had all said goodbye, Chiyo honestly walked into Tsunade's house through the main entrance.

The mansion in front of me is huge, and in the past, the Senju people lived here. Now there is only the direct bloodline of the first generation, that is, the Tsunade family lives here. As she traveled, Chiyo saw many uninhabited houses, all of which had closed doors and open dark windows, making the courtyard look empty and deserted.

In the room in the center, he meets Tsunade's father: an ordinary-looking man.

After a few small talks with each other, Chiyo was taken to a small room.

The lights in the room were dim, and there was only Tsunade inside. When they had left, he looked at the simple walls around him, and thought that it was supposed to be a makeshift room, and as for what it was for, look at the crib in the middle of the room.

Tsunade seems to really like her brother so much that he still doesn't plan to get up, still squatting there and teasing the baby.

"Come here, Chiyo. Look at him, how cute he looks! ”

In fact, the newborn child is not cute in any way, but looking at her happy appearance, Chiyo did not refute it.

Pulling a small gift box from her pocket, Chiyo shook it in front of Tsunade's eyes, caught her attention and handed it over.

"A gift to the rope tree."

"How do you know your brother's name? …… Oh! ”

I saw her mouth open, as if she remembered something. Then he lowered his voice and turned his face to look intently at the child, presumably embarrassed by a conversation in the past.

"Do you remember what I said?"

The sound is much quieter than just now.

"Well, I have a good memory."

With that, he sat down on the floor beside the low crib, and then looked at the big bright eyes.

It is said that when a vicious person touches a baby, the baby will cry. Because their pure hearts are very sensitive, and they hate the smell of evil.

Chiyo curled her fingers and scratched on that little face, which felt very good, and the other party didn't cry, just looked at it curiously.

Does this mean that you are not too bad? Or is this kid too big?

After a while, the sound of dismantling things came from Tsunade.

"Chiyo, what is this?"

"Jade pendant."

"I know it's a jade pendant, but who is the god engraved on it? How come I've never seen one? ”

He was still teasing the baby, and he didn't even raise his head: "Of course you haven't seen it, this is a character I saw in a novel." ”

In fact, this is his friend in a certain world, the other party has a good personality, is blessed, and most importantly, it also symbolizes the luck of that world, and Chiyo feels that it is appropriate to use that as a statue.

"Does this god have any meaning?"

pinched the little big nose, "For children, of course, it means peace and happiness." ”

Tsunade nodded, pleased with the gift.

Then she remembered a gift from a companion, and the contrast between the two made her unconsciously raise her forehead and lament.

"What's wrong?"

"Chiyo, why can't he be a little more mature?"

Tsunade gestured to the other side of the room, where some gift boxes were placed. "Guess what he sent?"

"I don't know."

"A ninjutsu scroll."

Seeing that Chiyo seemed to think of something, Tsunade was a little helpless, "There is a ninjutsu recorded in it." As she spoke, she opened her mouth and realized that she was really embarrassed to say the name of that ninjutsu, so she muttered, "About that aspect of ninjutsu." ”

"Can you imagine? I don't know what he thinks of how he dared to give that kind of thing as a gift to my brother! Panting, Tsunade was a little excited.

To be honest, if it weren't for her brother's birth today, she would have dragged that guy from Jiraiya over and beat him up.

"It shouldn't have been intentional."

Could this not be intentional?

She stared at Chiyo, curious to see what he said.

"He's bored, and he's bored in the real sense of the word."

"Anyway, you just need to know he's not targeting you."

Touching the jade on his hand, Tsunade couldn't understand what the other party was talking about? Not against her? It's clear that it's aimed at her.

As she was thinking about something, the touch from her hand made her feel that something was wrong.

Holding the piece of jade in front of her eyes, she looked at it carefully, "Hey, Chiyo! You can't carve it yourself, can you? ”

Seeing that the other party really nodded, the joy was like blood, instantly filling the whole body, and then I was at a loss.

It takes a long time to carve such a piece of jade, she knows that.

He spent a lot of time preparing a gift for her, although it was for her brother, but it must have been for her, and she knew it.

So far, the girl's thoughts are clear.

Then, did he do it because he was a friend, or because he liked her a little bit?

That's where the girl's confusion lies. Intuitively, Chiyo definitely didn't like her, because she never felt the other person's feelings in the process of getting along.

But the conclusion of rational speculation is the opposite of intuition: Chiyo should like her. After all, Jiraiya also said that the reason why Chiyo took her as a friend was because of her "pure and beautiful girl".

When he says, "Admire my beauty," doesn't that mean liking me? "For what Chiyo said to Jiraiya, that's how Tsunade who is still ten years old understands it.

Thinking jumbled in his mind, Tsunade stared at Chiyo's face. Suddenly, a very strange idea appeared: Chiyo's face seems to be like this forever, so could it be that his character is the same, that is, he is more wooden in terms of feelings?

In this way, intuition and reason become aligned: he must like her!

“…… Carved with chakra, it doesn't take time at all. Hey, Tsunade? Feed! Come back to your senses. ”

Suddenly, the other party's voice suddenly became louder, pulling Tsunade out of a daze. She clutched her chest, visibly startled.

"Are you awake?"

Nodding.

"After talking for a while, I took my leave."

Nodding, Tsunade was still in a trance, she sat on the ground, and even forgot to send Chiyo.

She looked at the rope tree, then at the jade pendant in her hand, and then continued to be in a daze.
