Naruto's Dark Dawn

"Brother Chiba, come and play with us."

A cute little girl dragged Qianye and acted coquettishly.

Qianye looked at the group of brats behind the little girl who were playing house, and his face turned black.

Just kidding, I'm not really only six years old, how can I play this kind of game with you.

"Well, I still have something to do, you guys play first."

After finally getting rid of the troublesome little girl, a little boy came over after a while, desperately wanting to show Chiba his special skills.

Immediately, Qianye's face turned darker, and it was completely torture for him to stay with these brats.

Thinking of this, Qianye turned her eyes full of resentment to Xia Mu not far away.

Perhaps it was because she felt that Chiba hadn't recovered from the blow of the previous disillusioned dream, or because she felt that Chiba's character was too withdrawn. Xia Mu thought it was wise to let the children get closer to Chiba, and let Chiba become a child. their leader.

God knows how Qianye survived the siege of these brats these days.

Seeing Qianye's face full of displeasure and grievance, Xia Mu walked over with a laugh, and regardless of Qianye's objection, he rumpled his hair violently.

"Why do you always look so mature? Children should be more lively and let the past pass... Come on, come on, I'll show you something fun..."

As he said that, Xia Mu flexibly tied a few weeds into a little mouse on his own, and kept teasing Qianye.

Xia Mu, who thinks that Chiba is still immersed in sadness, does not miss any chance to enlighten Chiba.

Slightly twitching the corner of his mouth stiffly, Qianye said helplessly: "How many times have I told you, don't treat me like a child."

"Haha, it's obviously a child."

Embarrassedly avoiding Xia Mu's claws stretching towards her hair, Chiba launched her own counterattack.

"Sister Quanshui, Brother Xia Mu has something to tell you!"

"Oh? What?"

An unusually gentle and intellectual beauty walked over from a distance, and looked at Xia Mu with a half-smile.

"Brother Xiamu said he likes you..."

Xia Mu immediately covered Chiba's mouth in panic.

"That, that, Quan Shui, don't listen to his nonsense..."

"Oh, so you don't like me?"

"no no..."

Quietly looking at Xia Mu not far away who was explaining something in a panic, and then at a group of brats not far away, the corners of Qianye's mouth curled up unconsciously.

These days, although Qianye has been saying that he doesn't like them to harass him, in fact, Qianye's heart has been filled with an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Here, Xia Mu experienced unprecedented warmth.

Whether it's the gentle Xia Mu, or the equally gentle Miss Quanshui, or those brats Chiba keeps saying she hates, they all give Chiba a sense of family.

Qianye could feel that each of them cared for him purely.

Sometimes, Chiba even thought that it would be nice not to be a ninja.

To become a ninja, you will inevitably face various killings and conspiracies, and you may die at some point.

Instead of that, maybe it's better to be an ordinary person and live a stable life.

Besides, he is not even sure about becoming a ninja now, and so far he only has a rough idea.

Even just setting out to find a way to learn ninjutsu

It may contain danger. There is no such thing as absolute safety in such troubled times. Do you really want Xia Mu to accompany you on adventures?

For a moment Chiba fell into deep thought.

If it's really like Xia Mu said, it might not be a bad idea to find a remote and peaceful place and find a gentle and beautiful girl to spend the rest of your life with...

And just as Chiba was thinking about something, the convoy had already arrived at a new town.

After a slight pause for supplies, Xia Mu led the team on the journey again.

After returning, Xia Mu's face was full of smiles.

"I met an acquaintance who sold me a lot of food cheaply. In this way, we will have no worries about food in a short time."

Speaking of which, Xia Mu excitedly gestured on the map.

"Our current position is probably here, and we have entered the peaceful zone. We are not far from our final goal, and we will be there in about three days' journey."

"Xia Mu, since we have arrived in the Heping District, why don't you stay here? I think the boss in the town has a good relationship with you. With him taking care of us, it will be much easier to settle down."

Xia Mu shook his head lightly: "Even if he can take care of us, it's only temporary. The prices here are too high, we can't survive for a long time, and there are too few resources."

Speaking of which, Xia Mu excitedly tapped a place on the map.

"My initial target is here. It is far away from the war zone, prices should be relatively low, and there are forests and rivers nearby. We can definitely make use of these resources..."

As Xia Mu continued to talk about something excitedly, the whole team became excited.

Especially after noon, Xia Mu hunted back a huge wild boar from nowhere, and people became more and more excited.

"Hey, as I said, I will definitely lead you out of the predicament."

While talking, Xia Mu messed up his hair again regardless of Chiba's objection.

"You little guy still doesn't believe me, so don't mention the matter of slipping away now. When you get to the place, you have to work hard for me and pay me back the money you owe me."

Seeing that the difficult journey was finally coming to an end, Xia Mu's face was full of happy smiles.

The rest of the team apologized.

"Xia Mu, I really have you. I'm really sorry for what happened before, for forcing you like that."

"Haha, it's okay, it's just..."

Suddenly Xia Mu became inexplicably sad again.

"If I had known, we might have been able to bring a few more children out..."

Thinking of those children who were unable to bring out because of his powerlessness, Xia Mu's voice gradually sank.

Seeing Xia Mu's depression, Quan Shui comforted him silently: "It's okay, when we settle down, you can find a way to bring them back again."

"Hahaha, that's what I said."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xia Mu's face again.

"Come on, come on, everyone, work hard, anyway, we are not far from the destination, we can definitely speed up."

"Oh--"

Soon the speed of the convoy picked up again, and they even started driving overnight.

After a whole night of rushing, not only was everyone not tired, but they all seemed quite energetic. Everyone was discussing the new home that was about to arrive in high spirits.

However, unlike everyone's excitement, Qianye suddenly felt an inexplicable depression.

This feeling...so familiar...
