Hokage’s strongest sword

Returning Home, Abnormal Little Linger

When Nangong Zhe stood at the door of his house, the sky had already brightened. Although the sun has not directly revealed its appearance, a very beautiful white belly has appeared in the eastern sky. And Nangong Zhe’s home itself is a little far away from the downtown area of ​​Muye Village, so there is still a not-so-small forest around it. The combination of the slightly cold air in the morning and the humid atmosphere in the woods formed a thin layer of veil that enveloped the earth, which looked extraordinarily gentle.

Gently pushing open the door of his house, Nangongzhe didn’t want the sound of his return to disturb the rest of the girls at home. The wooden door with a layer of lacquer was slowly pushed open under the slight force of Nangongzhe’s palm, and Nangongzhe also walked into the entrance of his house in a few steps. Quietly taking off his coat and shoes, Nangong Zhe walked towards the living room of his home.

To Nangong Zhe’s expectation, the girls in his house were all sitting in the living room. Whether it’s Xiao Ling’er who usually likes to sleep in very late, or Nangong Rou and Zhenbai who usually get up early to make breakfast for everyone, there is a little bloodshot in their eyes at the moment.

There was some tired look left in the eyes from staying up all night, and when they saw Nangong Zhe, they were quietly hidden by the three women, and the faces of the three women immediately put on a warm smile towards Nangong Zhe. The three women and Nangongzhe just looked at each other for a long time, and finally Zhenbai seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to look at each other like this, so he stood up slowly, tidied up his clothes and said to Nangongzhe:

“Last night I was busy all night, and I just came back now. I have already cooked porridge and it should be time to eat. I’ll get you a bowl. After eating some porridge, you should go and have a good rest, Gong Gong?”

Saying so, Zhenbai walked to Nangongzhe’s side, took the blood-stained robe from Nangongzhe’s hand very naturally, and walked to the entrance to wipe Nangongzhe’s dirty pair. The shoes had been taken to the laundry, apparently to be tidied up.

From the beginning to the end, Zhenbai didn’t say much, and Nangongzhe didn’t ask any more questions. After all, Zhenbai was a top spy cultivated by the roots before. As one of the plan participants, Nangongzhe naturally made Zhenbai aware of something unconsciously in many cases, not to mention the fact that Nangongzhe’s hidden breath left the house again and again The truth of the matter is still completely perceptible. And Nangongzhe also collected a lot of information from the Bloody Clothes Pavilion before this operation. Zhenbai has been helping Nangongzhe manage affairs in the Bloody Clothes Pavilion all these years, so he can easily know these things.

Watching Zhenbai go to the kitchen to serve porridge for Nangong Zhe. Nangongrou also carefully looked at Nangongzhe’s body with her own eyes, and found that there was nothing that looked injured, and she walked towards her bedroom without saying anything, apparently wanting to make up for it. feel like.

The two elder sisters who were older than her left for the time being, but Xiao Ling’er relaxed a little at the moment, and kindly pulled Nangong Zhe’s arm to let Nangong Zhe sit beside her.

“Brother Nangong, Brother Nangong… aren’t those guys at Genbu particularly powerful! Xiao Ling’er really wants to hear the story of you fighting with those villains at Genbu, can you tell Xiao Linger?”

Xiao Ling’er just looked at Nangong Zhe with watery eyes, and Nangong Zhe was a little overwhelmed for a while, so Nangong Zhe was able to tell some things he knew that could be said to unrelated people like Xiao Ling’er Tell Xiao Linger one by one.

…

“So… are we safe from now on?”

Listening to Nangong Zhe talking a lot about this operation, I know the rootAn inexplicable light flashed in Xiao Ling’er’s eyes, and then she asked Nangong Zhe.

“That’s right, at least we’re safe among Konoha. The relationship between the current Konoha Hokage’s Namikaze Minato and me is pretty good, so with his care, we won’t encounter the same kind as before. Dangerous situation…”

Nangongzhe didn’t tell Xiao Linger about the mutual calculations between himself and Minato, because these small calculations cannot change the nature of the current Minato and Nangongzhe’s need for mutual help. Even in this kind of relationship, Minato is still in a relatively weak position, because Minato has been tightly locked by Konoha, and Nangong Tetsu not only holds such power as the Bloody Clothes Pavilion in his hands, but even has almost no control over such authority. Not much desire to control.

“Then… can Xiao Ling’er ask Brother Nangong to promise me something?”

Looking at Nangong Zhe, Xiao Ling’er said this to Nangong Zhe timidly. You must know that Xiao Ling’er is usually a carefree girl, and she usually says something, but now such a cowardly look really makes Nangongzhe feel very fresh, just like she just met with her at the beginning. When Nangongzhe left the village where he grew up, the little Linger was full of fear of the unknown situation in the future.

Nangong Zhe felt that he might have slightly understood what Xiao Linger wanted from him, so he put his hand on Xiao Linger’s head lightly, and gently stroked the hair with the bell headdress .

“Xiao Ling’er, tell me… now everything is basically settled, if you want to do something, brother can also go with you.”

It seems that because of Nangong Zhe’s attitude, Xiao Ling’er, who was still a little nervous, calmed down slowly at this moment. Little Ling’er’s eyes were rarely filled with a little heaviness and sorrow:

“Grandpa, he…has been gone for many years. But I have never had time to go back to see him. When you were in the Bloody Clothes Pavilion, brother, you also dispatched some subordinates to clear the grave for grandpa, but because of various There is no way to personally pull out a weed and light a stick of incense for grandpa’s grave. So… I just want my brother to go to the village where I used to live with me to visit and visit grandpa’s grave That’s all…”

After being told by Xiao Ling’er, Nangongzhe also remembered that he was seriously injured and dying, and Zhenbai led him to walk hard in the forest alone. Fortunately, he met A Weng so that he could get treatment in time and save his life. When it was time to leave, it was A Weng who knew that his time was approaching and entrusted Xiao Linger to him. Having said that, Nangong Zhe also had some thoughts of wanting to see the last traces left by A Weng in this world.
