Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

I don't know if Hongyan is still open to visitation at this time...

Walking out of the Hokage Building and walking towards his Japanese-style cabin, Chiba raised his head to look at the darkened sky, and frowned involuntarily in the dim night.

Originally, he planned to go to see Hong Yan, but now it is obvious that he didn't pay attention to the problem of time, so now he doesn't know if he can still visit in the confinement room.

Tsk!

Sure enough, every step is wrong, every step has flaws!

Thinking of this, Qianye, who was frowning, couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

well……

I'm sorry, Hirohiko, I should have seen you today, but I don't know if I can see you until now.

really...

sorry!

Afterwards, he sighed softly. As a close friend, Hongyan is suffering from great torture both physically and mentally. The most important person died at his own hands and was imprisoned. Originally, he should be with Hongyan By your side, even if you can't stay by Hongyan's side all the time, you should visit Hongyan from time to time, give Hongyan hope and care, so that Hongyan has enough strength to get out of the shadows.

But now, the plan to visit Hirohiko is because he made a wrong decision and may have to delay it, and even in the two days since he came back, he didn't visit this best friend who has been supporting him behind the scenes. The mood is quite heavy and guilty.

still……

Let's go back first, even if I can visit, I don't know where Hirohiko is being held, so I have to go back and ask Kushina.

hateful!

Didn't even ask where it is!

After this sigh, Qianye's footsteps suddenly accelerated a few steps, and her teeth were already clenched.

And as the footsteps accelerated, coupled with the muddy rain during the day and the time when it was already dark, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and Chiba quickly returned to the Japanese-style log cabin.

At this moment, candles were already lit in the cabin, and in the flickering dim light of the fire, Qianye could vaguely see a figure sitting in the room, holding a book in his hand, with the other hand resting on the book. groping around.

Is it... Xue Nai?

Seeing this scene, Qianye, who was eager to open the door, paused for a moment, with a bit of hesitation on his face, but his hands were still in front of the door, and he didn't dare to open the door in a daze.

"Is it Chiba?"

And at this moment, the figure in the cabin seemed to be aware of his presence, and a familiar voice came through the door.

This voice, without a doubt, was Xue Nai.

"Um……"

To this, Qianye responded, since he had already been discovered, then he didn't hesitate to open the door and enter directly.

Kushina... isn't there?

And after entering the door, Qianye took a look, but saw that besides Xue Nai, there was a stack of novels and a good meal for about 5 people in front of the low table, and the heat was still rising. , This meal has just been prepared not long ago.

However, Kushina was not there. Except for the living room, it was dark and there were no lights. Obviously, Kushina was not there.

"Ms. Jiuxinna just left the house. I want you to eat first. We've all eaten."

At the stall where Chiba didn't speak after entering the door, Xue Nai seemed to have noticed something, and spoke.

"Um……"

Regarding this, Qianye didn't say much, but carefully sat down opposite Xue Nai, and then picked up the chopsticks pretendingly, and observed Xue Nai's expression.

"Don't look, I... I'm fine."

However, at this stall, Xue Nai seemed to have seen Qianye's actions, with a slight smile on her pretty face, and then she said seriously.

Well……

Although Xue Nai couldn't see it, why did she feel that she was more sensitive?

Regarding this, Qianye was slightly taken aback, and his face became slightly hot. After all, it was a bit impolite to look at the little girl's face. After being told the truth, Qianye was also a little embarrassed.

"Um……"

And even though she was embarrassed, when Qianye heard this sentence, she still took another look at Xue Nai. From her facial expression, Chiba noticed that on the surface, Xue Nai still showed a slight smile, but it was just to comfort him. That's all, behind this smile is an indelible sadness, and it is this sadness that makes Xue Nai's smile look a bit forced.

However, even so, a big stone fell heavily in Qianye's heart, and now she can barely smile, which shows that Xue Nai's situation has really stabilized.

Sadness and grief are naturally impossible to eliminate, but Xue Nai is not unbearable.

Although I don't know what Kushina said, but Chiba, don't worry.

I am also really...Xue Nai, she is by no means such a fragile girl, she has always been very strong.

And at this moment, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"How was work today?"

At this moment, when a thought flashed in Qianye's mind, Xue Nai slowly put down the book and asked.

"Fortunately, I've gotten used to it."

After hearing this, she felt relieved, and Chiba, who started to cook rice, responded.

"Yeah?"

Hearing this, Xue Nai nodded, and there was nothing unexpected on her face. It is very common for others to be surprised or even shocked when they hear something like "adapting to the position of Assistant Hokage in one day".

Even, in her words, it is a matter of course to adapt to the position one day.

"Um."

To this, Chiba also nodded, as if Xue Nai's attitude of taking it for granted was also taken for granted. And after this opening, Chiba asked again: "Do you know where Teacher Kushina is?"

After all, the matter of learning the spell seal is still on Kushina. Chiba needs to know the current situation of the spell seal. Take a trip to the Sarutobi clan's clan, and learn the basics first from the third generation of Hokage, as much as you can learn.

"have no idea."

Facing Chiba's question, Xue Nai shook her head and said, "Teacher Kushina didn't say anything."

Didn't you say it?

Hearing this, Qianye frowned slightly, and after eating, he said again: "Do you know which confinement room Hirohiko was locked in? I want to visit him after dinner. Can I still visit him now?"

"You eat first, and I'll go with you after eating. Teacher Kushina is cooking dinner tonight, and Hong Yan hasn't delivered the food yet."

And hearing Qianye's question, Xue Nai seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said.

"Um."

However, Chiba didn't pay much attention to the tone and appearance of Xue Nai who had expected him to ask such a question. He said yesterday that he was going to see Hirohiko today. Although he said it to Kushina, Xue Nai knew it too Not unusual.

Later, when I contact Hirohiko, what should I say...

And now he is already thinking about the situation after seeing Hong Yan.

It was still Teacher Jiushinai who was so good that he specially delayed the time to make dinner.

At the same time, such a thought flashed through Xue Nai's mind.
