Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Chiba, are you... all right?"

Kushina looked at the empty table of dishes, and then at Chiba, who seemed to be content with eating, frowned, and couldn't help asking.

this……

Although I know that Qianye must have a bigger appetite than before, but this is a bit too exaggerated.

That's almost enough food for ten people...

How big is this child's stomach?

But in her heart, there was such a thought.

"No... nothing!"

At this time, hearing Kushina's words, Chiba shook her head hurriedly and said.

However, when he spoke, his brows frowned slightly.

Is it my illusion?

Eat so much?

Still not feeling overly full?

However, there is no such hunger, would you want to eat?

this……

What the hell is going on with my body?

But at this time, such a thought flashed through his mind. At this time, although he ate a table of meals, which was almost enough for ten people, he did not feel full. The feeling of food falling into the sea like mud cows, and now he neither feels hungry nor full, this feeling is quite weird.

However, apart from this weird feeling, there was no other discomfort, and Chiba was a little confused for a while.

Of course, it's okay to be fine.

"All right……"

And after hearing Chiba's reply, Kushina didn't see anything unusual after carefully looking up and down Chiba, and could only nod in the end.

Then, she stood up and prepared to clean up the dishes.

"Are you full?"

At this time, Qianye seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly asked. Just now he was patronizing himself to eat, driven by the inexplicable hunger, he did not consider the situation of the two of them at all, and then looked at the clean bowls and chopsticks of Kushina and Xue Nai next to him, for fear that he would eat them all, Kushina And Xue Nai didn't eat anything.

"We have eaten a long time ago. We saw that you were sleeping just now, so we didn't wake you up."

Regarding this, Xue Nai on the side spoke.

"oh……"

Realizing that he seemed to have asked a meaningless question, Qianye answered in embarrassment.

After all, it was almost eight o'clock when I woke up, and it was impossible for the two of them to have dinner so late.

"Xue Nai, you go back to rest first, let me and Chiba clean up here, Chiba is here to help!"

At this time, Kushina also spoke.

"Um."

Regarding this, Xue Nai nodded, got up and walked towards the stairs.

This is also what she has been used to since this period of time. Because of her blindness, what she can do is limited, and Kushina is also afraid that her blindness will have some physical complications, so she has always let Xue Nai Go to bed early and get up early, pay attention to rest.

Although Chiba returned today, she intends to go to bed late and stay with Chiba for a while, but thinking of the possibility that Kushina will be angry, and Chiba is also exhausted, she still remembers Chiba's sleepy snoring just now, Chiba Ye was probably quite tired, so she finally endured it and planned to wait until Qianye had rested tomorrow.

"yes!"

At this time, Chiba looked at the empty dishes on the table, and immediately stood up, helping Kushina to clean up.

After a while, there was already a stack of empty dishes in his hand.

"Chiba..."

Just when the dishes in his hands were stacked up to a certain height, Xue Nai who had reached the stairs suddenly turned around and said to his position.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Xue Nai's voice, Chiba hurriedly responded, and her eyes fell on the beautiful girl who was holding the stairs with one hand, covered in snow, and was faintly visible at the extreme position illuminated by the candlelight.

"Welcome back."

And at this time, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xue Nai's mouth, and she said in a gentle voice that she had never seen before.

"Ah, I'm back."

Hearing this sound, Qianye was stunned for a moment, then, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, he spoke in a deep and soft voice.

Regarding this, as if she got the best answer, Xue Nai smiled, turned her head, and went upstairs with a thump.

It seems that Xue Nai is in a very good mood, and the unhappiness that happened today did not affect her.

Very good……

Watching Xue Nai go upstairs, Chiba withdrew her gaze and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"let it go."

And at this moment, Kushina's voice came suddenly.

"ah?"

Hearing this, Chiba subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, only to see that Kushina had sat down opposite him at some point and was looking at him seriously, but what Kushina meant, Obviously to ask him to put down the empty dishes.

In this situation, Jiu Xinnai asked Xue Nai to rest just now, but pushed Xue Nai away, and wanted to ask him something.

"Sit down."

Seeing Qianye's appearance, Kushina said again, with a more dignified tone.

"yes……"

Looking at Kushina, Chiba hesitated for a moment, put down the stacked empty bowls and chopsticks, and sat down in front of Kushina.

"How is it? Xue Nai's eyes."

After he sat down, Kushina's words came from the opposite side with a little eagerness.

Sure enough, Kushina wanted to ask Xue Nai's eyes!

And at this moment, upon hearing Jiu Xinnai's words, a flash of clarity flashed in Qianye's heart.

"Mr. Jiushina, do you know the curse mark of the caged bird?"

Knowing this in her heart, Chiba didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, but didn't answer Kushina directly.

The problem with Xue Nai's eyes is really because of the bird in the cage?

And hearing this sentence, Jiu Xinnai frowned and her face changed. When she went to call Chiba for dinner, she saw that Chiba was asleep, so she didn't wake him up. Then, when she was about to go downstairs, she didn't wake him up. Found a scroll on Chiba's desk that resembled the pattern of the Caged Bird Curse Seal.

Originally, she didn't want to ask this question today. After all, Qianye just came back, and she didn't want to make him too nervous.

However, when she saw this scroll, she vaguely guessed that the curse seal of the caged bird might have a lot to do with Xue Nai's blindness.

As for the curse mark of the bird in the cage, she is naturally very clear and understands what the curse mark of the bird in the cage is used for.

Knowing that the curse mark of the bird in the cage was connected with Xue Nai's eyes, she couldn't sit still.

"Really, it has something to do with the caged bird?"

But a thought flashed across his mind, and Kushina hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Um."

Looking at Kushina's appearance, Chiba knew that Kushina already knew something, and didn't hide it right away, just nodded in affirmation.

"How...how did this happen?"

And hearing Chiba's affirmation, Kushina felt as if struck by lightning, his whole body trembled, and a bit of despair almost burst out in his eyes.

Could it be...

It's impossible for Xue Nai to recover her light all her life?

And in her heart, there was such a thought.
