Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 231 The Peaceful Life

Lan returned to the extremely clean room. He got a glass of water and lay down on the bed. He wanted to wait for it to cool down, but he never thought that he would fall asleep wrapped in his clothes like this. He was really sleepy. He needed rest.

While Lan was asleep, Minato had already left with his family and Danzo. Originally he wanted to say goodbye to Lan, but he didn't think that Lan was already asleep. In order not to disturb Lan, he had to leave without saying goodbye.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lan was still in a drowsy sleep. He was having a long dream. As for the content of the dream, only he who was lying on the bed knew about it, and no one else knew about it.

The north wind was howling, and Tsunade and Hashirama, who were drunk yesterday, ran out together again. The two probably went to the gambling house again. Shizune stayed in her small kitchen and boiled her rice wine with various ingredients. Porridge and rice.

Xiang Lin, who wanted to wake Lan to train with her, was called out by her mother before she reached Lan's door, leaving Quanmei alone. She sat in her room, on a chair in her room, with her hands in her hands Mieko, who holds a needle and thread, has been making clothes since she came to Luoxue City. Although she doesn't know who to wear, she can't control her hands.

Quan Mei sat in front of the window, looking at the white snow-capped mountains outside the window, thinking wildly in her mind.

Just as she was thinking, a voice that only she could hear suddenly came from the jade pendant in her arms.

"What are you thinking?"

Quan Mei poked out the jade pendant, looked at the jade pendant and said, "I'm thinking, what on earth has Lan shouldered to make him so tired? It's already afternoon, and he still hasn't woken up. , I went in early and woke him up."

Yupei did not respond, and after a while, a faint voice reached her ears.

"What he is facing is something that you and I have never imagined. Now that he is free, let him have a good rest. By the way, it is the end of the year, and you have no idea to prepare for the New Year?"

"Thoughts for Chinese New Year..." Quanmei was silent. Although most people in Luoxue City were preparing for the end of the year, she hadn't prepared at all. She didn't know what to prepare. In the past, she prepared gifts for Itachi at this time. And accompany her mother, but now, besides accompanying her mother, she really doesn't know what to do. Here, she doesn't need to do anything, no tedious tasks, no troublesome interpersonal communication, all this is what she once longed for Yes, but now, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

People always think about busyness when they are free, and think about leisure when they are busy. Quanmei has been idle for a long time now, and she is afraid that she will become lazy when she is idle.

At this moment, Yupei made a voice again: "Well, it seems that you still haven't adapted to this kind of life, you should do something, or you can try to make rice cakes, I remember when I was with my mother I did, I don't know if you have."

"Ah, make... make rice cakes..." Izumi thought of when she was in ninja school, when she came home, she pestered her mother to make rice cakes once, she was the one who hit it with a mallet, and Mieko kneaded it , I remember that time, she hit Mieko with the mallet directly, causing Mieko to stay in the hospital for two days.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Quan Mei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Mieko, who was weaving clothes, heard Izumi laughing, put down the things in her hand, walked to Quanmei and asked: "Izumi, why are you laughing, why are you so happy, tell me to make me happy too."

"Ah, Mom, it's nothing, I just remembered that I was pestering you to make rice cakes back then. I was so impatient at that time that I accidentally injured your hand." Izumi closed the window and held Mieko's hand and said.

"Beating rice cakes..." Mieko squinted her eyes and recalled for a while, she thought for a long time before remembering, and when she remembered, she smiled and asked Quanmei: "Do you want to eat rice cakes, then I will prepare the ingredients tomorrow Make us some."

"No, it's not, I just thought of it suddenly, but if you want to do it, then I will do it with you." Quanmei said.

"Do you want to do it together? I'm afraid you'll hit my hand again." Mieko smiled.

"What, how could I hit your hand now, anyway, I have Sharingan, no matter what, it is impossible to hit my hand, this time you don't worry." Quanmei vowed.

"That's right, let's wait and see." Mieko still smiled, being able to be with Quanmei would make her happy no matter what she did.

The mother and daughter just smiled like this. Now they have completely forgotten the pain brought by life. It is better to forget the pain. If you always think about pain, your life will be colorless.

In the yard, Xianglin is throwing kunai sullenly, damn kunai, god damn kunai, now she hates kunai when she sees kunai, why does she always throw kunai here, obviously her skills are already very powerful Why should it continue like this? Why can't her mother be kinder like Aunt Mieko, really.

Throwing the last kunai, Xianglin sat up and raised his chin and looked at the blue sky and said to himself: "When will this kind of training be good, I hate this kind of training."

While complaining, Nanako's figure appeared behind her.

Nanako looked at Xianglin who was looking up in pain with her head up, sighed and said: "Xianglin, people must have a sense of crisis. Mom did this for you. I'm afraid that one day others will bully you. If I'm not here, The only one who can protect you is you, I hope you become strong, at least you can protect yourself."

"Ah, Mom." Xiao Xianglin turned around, she stood up and patted the snow on her body, lowered her head and said, "I know it's for me, but I don't want to practice today, brother Lan is not awake yet, He hasn't eaten the dishes I cooked with my own hands."

Hearing Xianglin mentioning the dishes she made by herself, Nanako couldn't help but think of the dark thing on the plate. Her daughter doesn't seem to be suitable for cooking. It's just a simple dish, but she doesn't know how to do it. It's dark.

Could it be that Lan didn't wake up because he knew that Xianglin had cooked for him?
Nanako thought about it for a while, then shook her head and said, "How is it possible, he's just tired."

"What are you talking about?" Xianglin asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just said that your big brother Lan should be a little tired, let him sleep more, anyway, he is a ninja, it's okay to miss a meal, it's almost the end of the year now, have you What gift do you want, you can bring it up now, and mom will buy it for you." Nanako asked with a smile.

"Gifts..." Xianglin struggled to remember. When she was in Cao Ninja Village, the children in the same village had gifts, but she didn't have any. Her mother had no money to buy them for her. Not even a full meal.

Thinking of this, Xianglin thought of Lan again. It was he who rescued her from hell. The feeling of being rescued was too subtle.

She squinted her eyes happily, shook her head and said: "No, I don't want anything, as long as my mother and brother Lan can do well, if possible, I want brother Lan to practice ninjutsu with me, he I said that he wanted to test my strength, but the result is that he hasn’t done so until now, what a guy who doesn’t count.”

"Is that so?" Nanako smiled sweetly. She looked at the still closed window in Lan's room and said, "Since you want to find your big brother Lan, then go find him yourself when he wakes up."

"Well, I will look for it naturally. Speaking of which, what are you going to do now, Mom?" Xianglin asked.

"Your aunt Maitreya sent some oranges purchased in other countries. I came to you to deliver oranges to you." Nanako smiled and took out a peeled orange from her pocket.

Looking at the crystal-like orange, Xianglin took it and stuffed it into his mouth after expressing his thanks. His teeth bit the orange skin, and the sweet Zhishui and refreshing flesh filled the taste buds.

Xianglin narrowed her eyes, this orange is too sweet, she likes this kind of orange.

Looking at Kaorin who squinted like a kitten, Nanako showed a happy smile. Since she came here to manage Luoxue City on behalf of Lan, she spent much less time with Kaorin. The sense of indebtedness, now like this, the sense of indebtedness is getting more and more, if you have time in the future, let's spend more time with Xianglin.

Nanako was thinking, and just as she was thinking, Xianglin picked up a piece of orange and stuffed it into Nanako's mouth. While chewing the orange in her mouth, she muttered, "You... eat it too."

"Well, thank you." Nanako closed her eyes and bit off the tangerines fed by Xianglin. The sweet juice made her feel extremely satisfied. Sure enough, she still likes to eat sweet things.

An orange was quickly eaten by the two of them. After eating it, Nanako looked at the target filled with kunai not far away and said, "Okay, Xianglin, you should take a good rest these few days. Just do it every day." Moderate training is fine, when your grandpa Hashirama is free, take him to the mountain in the north to find a beast to test your level, if you pass the test, you don’t need to practice like this in the future.”

"Ah, this is really great, I think Grandpa Hashirama has time today, I'll go find him." Xiang Lin said and ran to find Hashirama.

Seeing Xianglin running away, Nanako couldn't help but said: "He went to the casino today, you should go to him tomorrow."

"Ah... I went to the casino again, damn it, why does he go there every day, it's really annoying." Xianglin complained.

"Okay, okay, stop complaining, do you still want to eat oranges, there are still plenty in the storeroom, if you want to eat, you can get it yourself." Nanako said.

"Is there a lot, then... I'd better eat oranges, I'm leaving first." Said Xianglin, picked up Chakra and jumped and ran away.

Watching Xianglin run away, Nanako shook her head helplessly, turned around and returned to the house.

The sky in Luoxuecheng was cloudy, and it looked like it would snow anytime. The north wind was blowing as usual, and the temperature now was not as cold as before.
