Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 20 Awakening
On the sea, three ships with the flag of the Country of Tea were sailing back. The sun was high in the sky, and the bright sunlight made the sea glow.

In the cabin of the not too big and not too small wooden boat in the middle, Lan was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

Beside him are Uchiha Shisui and Senju Hashirama who are a little more familiar with him.

Hashirama sat on the wooden chair, looked at the sleeping Lan, and couldn't help but feel a little irritable. It had been three days, and he didn't expect that the overloaded Chakra would cause such a serious injury to this kid.

Because of his agitation, Hashirama couldn't help standing up from the chair, got up and walked to the window of the ship, opened the wooden fan protecting the window, and as soon as he pushed it away, the sea breeze with a slight fishy smell came in from the window.

The sea breeze blew on Lan's face, causing his long hair to cover his face.

Seeing this scene, Zhishui sitting next to Lan couldn't help but want to put down that hair for Lan.

Just as he reached out to grab the hair, Lan's face twitched involuntarily.

Seeing Lan moving, Zhishui ran to Lan in surprise and asked, "Are you awake? Lan, can you hear me?"

Hearing Shisui's words, Hashirama hurriedly turned around and ran over, stood on Lan's left side, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lan's wrist, and heaved a deep sigh of relief after feeling Lan's heartbeat became even.

Putting down Lan's wrist, stood up, and whispered in Lan's ear, "Stinky boy, open your eyes when you wake up, don't worry me anymore."

Lan, who was in a state of chaos, vaguely heard Zhujian's voice, his father's voice echoed in Lan's mind, and gradually, a burst of light appeared in Lan's dark world.

Lan frowned and opened his eyes, because the light in the cabin was not very good, so Lan quickly adapted to the environment after opening his eyes.

Turning his head to Hashirama, looking at the dark circles on Hashirama's eyes, Lan knew that he must have been in a coma for a long time, when he was about to sit up on the bed with both hands, Hashirama held Lan down and blamed: "What are you going to do? Although your injury is almost healed, you should rest a little more. Don't think about sitting up. You should rest well during the few days of your return trip, understand."

Hearing the concerned words of Zhu Jian, Lan smiled and shook his head, sat up the arm of Zhu Jian and said: "I'm fine, but you, you should have a good rest, look at the dark circles on your face, you must Haven't rested for a long time."

"Ahem... No, I..." Hearing the words, Zhu Jian coughed in embarrassment, just as he was about to forcefully explain.

Zhishui on the other side covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "Yes, your master has guarded you for three days and three nights, since he carried you to the cabin, he has guarded you without sleep for a moment. You are so lucky to have met someone who cares about you so much.”

Seeing Shishui finished speaking, Lan couldn't help but feel his nose sore, turned his head to look at Hashirama who was embarrassed, and immediately burst into tears uncontrollably.

"Zhujian...Master——" Lan put his arms around Zhujian's waist, and he crawled on Zhujian and cried bitterly.

The cry contains the loneliness and grievance of these 12 years, as well as the touch of this moment.

When Zhujian heard Lan calling him Master, his body couldn't help shaking, and finally regained his senses, Lan's tears wet his clothes.

Zhujian stretched out his hand stiffly, put it on Lan's back, patted it twice, and comforted him: "Okay, it's okay, I have everything, don't cry, be a man, let's not cry."

Hearing this, Lan gradually stopped her tears and let go of Zhujian. Lan blushed and wiped her eyes shyly. After drying her nose, Lan looked at Zhishui beside her and asked, "Why did you come to me?" What's the matter, Shisui-kun?"

Seeing Lan asking himself, Zhishui didn't come back to his senses for a while, and when he did, Zhishui shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just came to see you."

"That's it." Lan said, then looked at Zhujian and said jerky: "Zhujian...Master, I want to drink water."

"Ah, do you want some water?" Hashirama turned his head to look at the table, and when he saw the empty water glass on it, he scratched his head and smiled, "I drank all the water in the glass this morning, so I'll go up and get some for you. "

Speaking of Zhu Jian, he was about to pick up the water glass and leave, and the moment he walked outside the door, Lan thanked him strangely: "I'm sorry to trouble you..."

Hearing the thank you, Hashirama turned his head and grinned, and said, "It's okay, idiot."

Afterwards, Hashirama left with the water cup.

Smiling and watching Zhujian leave, after he disappeared before his eyes, Lan turned his head to Shishui and said, "You are here to inquire about my master's news."

"No." Zhishui shook his head habitually, then lowered his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm also following orders, please don't mind."

"Heh~, people in Konoha always like to hold everything in their hands, and I won't mind you. In fact, it's useless for you to know the details of my master. That old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen would not do anything to me, but I... shouldn't be bad for Konoha, after all, that's where I grew up."

As she said that, Lan turned her head to the window and murmured: "You probably don't know, in fact, although I lived comfortably in Konoha when I was young, I was very unhappy. Because I had no parents since I was young, I was often called Those kids bullied me, and when I grew up, I was always ridiculed by my peers because I couldn’t extract chakra.”

Zhishui heard Lan's emotionless words, so he lowered his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to apologize, it's not your fault, blame me for being too weak at the time, from that moment on, Konoha was no longer warm to me, it became like the moment I was ridiculed Like this cabin, closed and dark,

The moment I awakened Chakra, I fled there resolutely. On the day I left Konoha, I felt like a seagull, free to soar in the ninja world. Unfortunately, I was just a young eagle. I can't even stretch my wings, but fortunately, I met my master, Qianshou Zhujian..." Lan said half-truthfully.

Zhishui knew whether Lan's words were true or not. He believed Lan when Lan told her about his experience, because he heard from Itachi that Lan was enduring the discrimination at school.

Although he believed Lan's words, he was still shocked by Lan's master's name, Senju Zhuma, who was as famous as Uchiha Madara, the most powerful person in their family history.

It stands to reason that he should have died as early as Uchiha Madara, why would he appear here.

Zhishui looked at Lan suspiciously, hoping he could explain.

Seeing the doubt in Zhishui's eyes, Lan understood that he believed his words, smiled secretly in his heart, and then made up: "Actually, my master was left behind by a philandering thousand-handed clan after an accident. He was wandering Awakened Mu Dun, because he worshiped the god of the ninja world, so he changed his name to Senshouzhujian."

"Oh! So that's how it is. Your master is indeed very strong. If you practice for a few years, I'm afraid he will reach the shadow level, and then there will be another strong man in the ninja world." Zhishui boasted with a smile Kua Zhujian.

Lan heard the words and nodded with a proud face, and replied: "That is, not only my master will become a strong man, but I will also become a strong man in a few years."

"Haha." Zhishui was amused by Lan's words, and after rubbing Lan's hair habitually, he said in agreement: "I believe in you, and itachi and I will become shadow-level powerhouses by then. At that time, our Konoha will become extremely powerful."

Lan pulled his head out of Zhishui's hands, looking at the happy Zhishui, Lan couldn't help showing a trace of sympathy.

When the time comes, I'm afraid you...

At this moment, Hashirama ran in with boiling water in his hands.

"Alright, alright, here comes the water."

Hurriedly running to Lan's side, Hashirama was about to hand it to Lan.

Seeing that the water glass was still steaming, Lan frowned and said to Hashirama, "Hey! You're not hot, put it down quickly, don't burn you."

"Ah~ I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me." Putting down the water glass hastily, Hashirama let out a sigh of relief at the reddened hand.

Seeing that Hashirama's hand was hot and red, Lan took out a bottle of scald medicine from the system while blaming him.

Before handing over the burn medicine to Hashirama, Shisui stood up and said goodbye: "Then I won't bother you, I'll go back first."

"Well, goodbye." Lan nodded to Shishui, and then wiped the scald medicine on Zhujian's hand.

The redness and swelling on Zhujian's hands subsided before she finished wiping it. Seeing this scene, Lan put away the scalding medicine that felt distressed, and said while scraping: "I even forgot, you have the body of a fairy , this little injury won’t do you any harm at all, really, it’s a waste of my fifty gold coins.”

Hearing Lan's words, Zhuma narrowed his eyes and smiled.

At this moment, a burst of drowsiness suddenly flooded Hashirama's head. Feeling the drowsiness, Hashirama shook his head, turned around and walked to the other bed, and then he fell asleep. After a while, The sound of even breathing spread throughout the cabin.

Lan, who was receiving the scald medicine, heard the sound of breathing, so she looked at Yan Zhujian, and seeing that he was asleep, Lan shook her head and stored the scald medicine in the space.

Turn on the system and check the notification sound when you are unconscious.

[Congratulations to the host, destroy the deep-sea giant crab, get [-] gold coins, hundreds of thousands of ninja points, reward special items, deep-sea giant crab eggs, and activate the pet system. 】

Um?The egg of the deep-sea giant crab, could it be a pet that gave me a reward?

Lan casually opened the information about the egg of the deep-sea giant crab.

【

Deep-sea giant crab egg—as the name suggests, it is the egg of a deep-sea giant crab. As long as it is stored in the pet space for 30 days, and when it hatches, the host can obtain an elite Jonin pet deep-sea giant crab. It can produce more than ten chakra crabs per day, according to According to the system budget, the host can obtain ten gold coins and ten ninja points out of thin air every day when the deep-sea giant crab hatches.

】

After browsing the information about deep-sea giant crabs, Lan casually clicked on the pet system, thinking that pets would be sold like before, but as a result, there were only rows of eggs and eggs of various colors in it.

Seeing the row of zeros behind the pet eggs, Lan dismissed the idea of ​​keeping a pet, clicked on the ninjutsu interface, and after looking at the ninja points, Lan exchanged Chidori's follow-up ninjutsu Chidori sharp gun.

After finishing these, Lan picked up the cup and drank the water slowly.

At the same time, Zhishui has already told Lu Jiu exactly what he learned from Lan.

After hearing Zhishui finished speaking, Lu Jiu touched the stubble on his chin and said: "So that's the case, it seems that I have to tell Lord Hokage well when I go back, it is really hard work for you, Shishui, your credit I will report the truth to Lord Hokage."

"Thank you, it's all for Konoha." Shisui nodded, then turned and left.

Watching Shisui go away, Lu Jiu said something to Ding Zuo, then turned around and went out to send a message to Konoha.
