I write Hokage in Konoha

Chapter 97
"elder brother?"

Naruto looked at the distressed little girl, and then at Chu Ran who was standing beside him with the same astonishment.

For a time,

Naruto was a little dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"I see."

Chu Ran stood there and analyzed the general situation, and then carefully took out the color contact lenses of his left eye, revealing the white eyes that he had never used before.

When the little girl saw that white eye, she cried even harder.

It's not that Chu Ran intends to make the girl sad again, it's just to test his guess.

At this time,

Behind the dark grid,

An old lady with white hair, hunched over and slowly climbed out, sat with the little girl outside the dark space, with her legs dangling in the air.

The old man's face was peaceful and wrinkled, and there was a pair of white eyes under the sleepy folded eyelids, but the pupils lacked energy.

Although the movements of her hands and feet were smooth, they gave off a sense of powerlessness as if an old lamp was about to go out.

The old man gently rubbed the little girl's black and bright short hair with his withered palm, his lips moved slightly, and he made a dry and long voice in his throat: "Xiao Yunjian, don't cry, don't cry, when grandma is your age, don't cry anymore. Never cried."

Subsequently,

The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Ran's eyes deliberately with his dizzy white eyes, and then at Naruto who was wearing a black robe.

There was no expression on her face, as quiet as an old well.

"Grandma, um, I'm here to buy ninja tools."

Naruto spoke first, breaking the deadlock.

"At the beginning of spring,
There was a middle-aged man who recycled scrap iron, and he took all the scrap copper and iron in the shop for a one-buy price.

summer,

A girl with yellow hair lost her way in the alley, and Yunjian showed her the way. The girl said that as a reward, she bought all the broken copper and iron in the shop for the same price.

When the two of them came, they both used superb transformation techniques to conceal their true identities.

And now it's autumn,
This should be the third time you have come to the store this year, but it seems to be more than... Yunjian said that when the old man is away, there will be business in the store, so... "

The old man finished the lengthy words in one breath, as if he was talking to himself, and focused his eyes on Naruto.

"Oh well, yes."

Naruto originally wanted to try to think of some tricks and use words to cover up his purpose, but seeing the old man's calm and supercilious eyes, he was defeated in an instant.

"Hmph, grandma, that's a ninja tool I picked up hard, not scrap metal!"

Although the little girl named Yunjian was crying, her eyes kept on Chu Ran's left eye.

But after hearing the old man's left mouthful of broken copper and iron, and his right mouthful of broken copper and iron, she finally couldn't help but pouted her small mouth, wiped away her tears with a small arm like a white lotus root, and complained aggrievedly with a firm tone.

"Hehehe, okay, it's not broken copper and iron, it's not broken copper and iron."

The old man was amused by the little girl.

Even though the little girl was still crying a lot, the old man didn't show any impatience, or any idea of ​​how to make the child stop crying.

Her old and soft eyes were full of tenderness and tolerance.

one old and one young,
Talk warmly in a small shop.

And Chu Ran and Naruto standing in front of the wooden counter seemed to be blocked and ignored suddenly.

But not long.

The old man seemed to suddenly think of Naruto and Chu Ran standing in front of the wooden counter, looking down at his granddaughter, his eyes trembled,
Then he opened his mouth and said:
"This pair of old eyes can still see something clearly, is it the eldest lady who entrusted you to come here?"

"Well, yes mother-in-law."

Naruto didn't want to pretend anymore, so he had a showdown.

The voice just fell,

The old man stood up suddenly, bent slightly, and said sincerely: "Please also thank the eldest miss for the old man, and forgive the old man for not being able to accept this unnecessary charity."

finished,

With trembling palms, the old man took out a white card from his pocket, held it in both hands, and handed it to the outside of the dilapidated wooden counter.

"The money is in there, thank you."

"But, mother-in-law, but I have already used up those ninja tools."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, looked at the ordinary white savings card in front of him, and said with embarrassment.

"Ha ha."

The old man smiled, glanced at the broken ninja tools on the wooden counter, and said nothing.

"Sorry old lady, I can't take this money back!"

Naruto was a little anxious, his eyes and tone were extremely firm.

Naruto knows,

The old man also knows.

After all, those so-called ninja tools are a pile of scrap metal. As for whether they are useful or not, everyone knows in their hearts.

Seeing that the two sides have reached a stalemate.

Chu Ran sighed softly, walked forward, and reached out to take the white card.

"you"

Naruto's face was full of doubts.

The old lady standing behind the wooden counter was also slightly taken aback by Chu Ran's actions.

In his heart, Chu Ran has already analyzed the outline of the whole matter based on the conversation between the two of them.

The old lady of the Hyuga family in front of me may have been expelled from the family because of some reason, and then Hinata, the always kind eldest lady of the Hyuga family, asked Naruto to help the pair in secret. The lonely grandparents who endured life.

Since it is so obvious,

For Chu Ran, it is easy to solve, after all, it can also make Naruto and Hinata, who has not met, owe him a favor.

"Cali's money, let me ask you to borrow it now."

Chu Ran glanced at Naruto,
Subsequently,

Chu Ran's tone was calm, and then he pushed the white card behind the wooden counter, and then said: "Mother-in-law, I will use this money to buy the same amount of ninja tools in the store, and they are out of stock for now, it doesn't matter, the money is paid first, and I will come regularly for the goods Pick."

Naruto's expression gradually softened, showing relief.

"Oh, I haven't seen anyone so single-minded, okay, okay."

The old lady Hyuga raised her head and subconsciously glanced at Chu Ran's left eye, but she didn't get the expected feedback on Chu Ran's face, and then sighed, acquiescing to this behavior.

"Also, I still have money here, do you want to borrow it together to buy ninja tools?"

Naruto cast his eyes at Chu Ran excitedly, hinting.

Just when Chu Ran was about to reach out his hand.

Suddenly finding that the old woman's gaze had gradually turned cold, Chu Ran immediately dismissed the idea.

And Naruto also sensed this change, and quickly shut up and dared not speak again, for fear that the old man would push back the white card on the table again.

The little girl named Yun Jian who had been sitting on the dark space before had stopped crying.

After seeing Chu Ran's actions, she immediately jumped from the half-meter-high dark space to the ground, put on her slippers, opened her red eyes from crying, and stood timidly behind the wooden counter, Nuo Nuo said: " Big brother, open your space scroll, and Yun Jian will help you clean up the ninja tools."

"Okay, hard work."

Chu Ran smiled warmly, and did not refuse the little girl's request. After all, humility would appear artificial at such a time.

Take out the No. [-] space scroll,

Spread it out on a wood counter.

Chu Ran made seals with both hands, released the restriction, and let the little girl pack up all kinds of ninja tools in the store and pile them inside.

"Grandma, you should know my white eyes, right?"

Chu Ran thought for a while, but still cut to the chase and asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"How could I not know, I thought I would never see it again in this lifetime."

The old man's eyes drooped, and the wrinkles on his face looked even more vicissitudes under the dim light.

"This is."

Even though Chu Ran knew that this might touch the sadness of the old man, he still asked.

Knowing the bottom line of his own body is responsible for himself, and it can also be regarded as responsible for this supercilious eye.

Muye Hospital will not tell the patient the information of the donor, Chu Ran has confirmed it before.

It is said that the donor left a will after his death, and he did not want the beneficiary to bother his family.

"Those are the eyes of my eldest grandson, Hyuga Yunyi."

The old man looked up at Chu Ran's left eye, his eyes were soft, and there was a trace of tears in his cloudy eyes, but the blink of an eye was fleeting.

Simultaneously,

The little girl Hyuga Yunma, who was packing ninja gear at the side, paused when she heard her grandmother mentioning her brother's name, and tears fell from her eyes that were originally red from crying.
