Become Hokage with Zanpakutō

Chapter 99 The Majestic Mother

"Uzumaki-kun, are you really a ninja?" Xianglin couldn't help asking, looking at Naoto who kept pinching his flesh.

"Just call me Naoto, I'm Konoha's ninja." As he spoke, Naoto took out his forehead protector from his pocket, and showed the side with the pattern to Xiang Rin, "Look, this is mine. forehead."

Xianglin knows about Konoha, and also knows that the village is preparing for the Chunin exam recently, so it is not surprising that there are ninjas from other villages, but the ninjas in my impression are not as easy to get along with as Naoto, so it is a bit Doubt only.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have questioned you," Xianglin murmured as she lowered her head, looking at the piles of barbecued meat in the bowl, "Actually, I've also met pretty good ninjas."

Naoto has good hearing. Although Xiang Rin's voice is very low, he can still hear the other party's muttering clearly. Judging from the other party's tone, it seems that it is difficult to meet a good ninja.

But after all, this is the other party's private matter, and he, who has just known the other party for two days, is not good at asking, so he chose to pretend that he didn't hear it.

"Already, enough is enough, I can't eat so much." Looking at the pile of dishes getting higher and higher, Xiang Rin was finally born to stop Naoto's crazy feeding behavior.

Zhiren didn't force her, and eating too much meat wasn't that comfortable, so he ordered some fruits and vegetables, treating it as an after-dinner snack.

After lunch, Naoto settled the bill, which made Xianglin heave a sigh of relief, but it amused Naoto, wouldn't this silly girl think that I was here to blackmail her?

The whole meal was only 5000 taels. Since Zhiren already knew that the exam was at his own expense, he brought nearly 10 taels of cash with him when he went out, so he could still afford 5000 taels.

But I can't bear to eat like this every day. Depending on the duration of the exam, I might have to borrow some money from Quan or Zhishui in the last few days.

Naoto packed all the unfinished food in his hand, ready to take it back to the hotel microwave to heat up for dinner or supper or something, anyway, it’s not going to be wasted, and the brothers never wasted food since they were young.

For a moment, Naoto read the meaning of "want" from Xianglin's eyes. I don't know if it was an illusion, but after hesitating, he handed the packed food to Xianglin, "Take these back. ? I have to go to the library later, it's inconvenient."

Xiang Rin originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of her mother at home, and Naoto's reason of "it's not convenient to go to the library", she struggled a bit and accepted it.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality today, Xuan——Naoto-kun, thank you very much." Xianglin, who was carrying the food, bowed deeply to Naoto.

Looking at Xiang Rin who kept bending over, Naoto didn't know what to say, he just helped her up and said it's okay, then left with the excuse of going to the library.

To Naoto, Karin is just a girl of the same age who he meets by chance because of the same hair color and has a slight crush on her. It is just a whim to invite her to dinner. He will return to Konoha after the end of the Chunin exam. There is no second chance to come to Kusanagi Village again.

Maybe it's the hair color, or maybe it's something else, who knows?
After arriving at the library, Naoto didn’t think about that any more, and the whole person once again entered the state of learning, not to mention the Chunin exam that was in front of him, and his future plans were constantly urging him to acquire knowledge. I don't have so many fantasies. Some of these are not.

Xianglin was walking home with the food, and from time to time she lifted the packing box in her hand to check to see if she was in a dream.

She never imagined that the person she bumped into yesterday didn't criticize her, but instead treated her to barbecue, a luxury that even ninjas wouldn't eat every day.

For Xianglin, this kind of food is equivalent to a luxury, but when I think of the way I just ate in a restaurant regardless of my image, Xianglin feels a little ashamed. A shameless person who eats, right?
In the end, I also gave me the packed food. In terms of quantity, it is not much less than what she ate just now. Sure enough, there are still good people among ninjas?
Thinking of this, Xianglin has already returned home, saying that the home is actually just a dilapidated wooden house on the edge of the village. Although it is cool in winter and warm in summer, it can shelter from wind and rain at least, and the most important thing is that her mother is there.

As long as my mother is still there, Xianglin feels that there is nothing to be afraid of. The ninjas in the village also said that as long as I can become a ninja, I will not bother my mother anymore. My eyes are a little short-sighted when I read in the library.

Just when Xiang Rin was about to open the door, the door of the house was violently pushed open, and two dusty ninjas walked out from the inside, their clothes were a little torn and there were some bloodstains.

"It's really troublesome. It took three times to fully recover this time. This woman doesn't seem to be able to hold on for long." One of the ninjas said a little irritably.

"Isn't there a small one? It can be used for a long time if you save it. Don't complain." Another ninja said this.

"I'm just—" In the middle of speaking, the man obviously saw Xianglin, so he sighed and stopped talking.

The two ninjas also bypassed Xiang Rin and left the cabin.

Xianglin looked inside the wooden house, a woman with short red hair was struggling to sit up from the bed, she lowered her sleeves to cover the teeth marks on her arms, "Xianglin sauce, why did you come back so early today?"

Xianglin bit her lip, and after entering the house, she closed and locked the door, "Mom, I brought you something to eat."

Mother Lin froze for a moment and asked, "Where did it come from? Could it be—"

"No, I was invited to dinner by someone else, and it was left over. I didn't steal anything." Xianglin explained.

"Others? Who is it?" Mother Lin frowned and asked.

"Yes—it's a ninja from another village." Xianglin said.

"Ninja? From another village? He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Mother Rin stood up anxiously, but sat back because of her weakness. She knew that the vitality of the Uzumaki clan of her mother and daughter was in the ninja world. They are all well-known, and she was a little worried whether Xianglin was deceived by the other party.

After Xianglin put all the food on the table, she walked to the bed and said, "I'll cook, mom, take a good rest."

In fact, their family didn't have the habit of eating lunch. Even though they lived in the village, they were no different from those outside the village who lived by farming, or even worse.

"No, do you know the other party's name? Did the other party ask you for dinner? Did he do anything to you? Tell them all." Although Lin's mother was weak, she rarely asked in a majestic voice. Even standing up has become a little difficult for me, but I am still majestic.

　I'm shameless, that thing is worthless, please recommend!recommend!Still TM's recommendation!
