Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Ding ding ding!"

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of construction stopping in the whole village, on this new year's winter day, in the old house of the Whirlpool family, which is close to the prosperous area of ​​the village but also in a slightly remote area, which has been uninhabited for a long time.

"puff!"

And somewhere in the old house of the Whirlpool Clan, a basket of weeds gently fell into a container similar to a basket.

"Cuckoo..."

Then, there was a sound from an empty stomach.

"Heh... didn't you say you'd bring me breakfast? Why are there no one around now?"

Under the slightly dilapidated back room, Chiba straightened up, wiped the sweat off her face, touched her belly that gave out some kind of signal, looked at the direction Kushina left, and let out a long sigh.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, a small thing jumped up from the roof, and with a "boo", it hit Qianye's feet.

Subconsciously, Qianye looked down, but it was a nail with a metallic luster.

"Hey, Hirohiko! Pay attention!"

Then, almost subconsciously, he shouted towards the dilapidated but partially repaired inner roof.

"Feel sorry!"

And soon, Hirohiko poked his head out from the roof, and apologized hurriedly.

"Take a break!"

Regarding this, Qianye didn't say much, just threw the water bottle at hand up, and then looked at the sky to make sure that she couldn't tell how long it had been since Kushina left, and then said.

To be honest, after pulling out all the wild vegetables around the overgrown back room, and pouring out two baskets of weeds along the way, and not eating breakfast, Chiba is now a little dizzy from hunger. I can't go down.

"Snapped!"

And the water bottle was thrown up, and it hit Hong Yan's hand precisely. Hong Yan also reacted quickly, and he grabbed the water bottle firmly, and then, without saying much, he started drinking.

Since Jiuxinna said that he had something to leave, he has almost finished repairing the dilapidated place on the roof, basically tearing off the roof and installing a new one.

The roof of the house here seems to have been attacked. Not to mention a big hole in the roof, there are potholes everywhere, and the wood has rotted due to the sun, rain and time. Basically, it has to be torn down and rebuilt.

"Hmm... that's not right! Today should be the New Year. We are here to celebrate the New Year. Why are we starting to work?"

After drinking the water and wiping off the hot winter sweat, Hirohiko suddenly frowned, said to Chiba below, and threw the water bottle in his hand down to Chiba.

"Snapped!"

Taking the water bottle thrown down by Hirohiko, Chiba didn't look back, just looked in the direction of Kushina's departure, took a few sips, and sighed again.

"You just found out! Teacher Jiuxinna, let us come earlier, just to rest the last room in this house."

After sighing, Qianye twitched the corner of her mouth and said.

"But... this room, we can't finish resting before dinner, the two of us, we don't have enough manpower!"

Regarding this, Hirohiko did not have the helplessness and bitterness shown by Chiba, but said calmly.

"Huh? Teacher Jiushina just said that the work is going to be finished today?"

And hearing this sound, Chiba was slightly taken aback, turned her head, looked at Hirohiko on the roof, and asked blankly.

In his mind, the scene when Kushina left just now flashed through, and he carefully searched whether the word "today" could be found in Kushina's simple words asking them to repair this place.

"I said it."

In this regard, Hirohiko said with certainty.

Then, the corners of Qianye's mouth turned up stiffly in an instant. According to the current progress, the repairs will be completed today?

Do not make jokes!

Even if you don’t eat or rest, you can’t finish it. The house here is one of the main buildings of the house. Although the house is not comparable to the buildings of the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan, it can be regarded as a courtyard at most. But after all, it is allocated to The Uzumaki Clan has a deep relationship with Konoha, the back room is quite big, and it is dilapidated enough that it is almost on the verge of being demolished and rebuilt. The two of them are determined not to be able to finish it today.

At least, it is absolutely impossible to finish before dinner.

"This... how can it be done..."

But thinking about it, apart from bitterness, Qianye's brows slowly frowned, but his eyes were full of doubts.

"You said, this doesn't seem like something Mr. Kushina would do? Why would you let us repair the house?"

At this time, Hirohiko's doubtful voice came from above his head.

"It doesn't look like something that Teacher Kushina would do? Uh... Teacher Kushina has always been willful."

To this, Chiba retorted almost subconsciously.

"Well, I know that Teacher Kushina is headstrong, but under normal circumstances, would Teacher Kushina let us do this at such a time? Even Xue Nai was taken away, saying that she had something to do , Generally speaking, would Teacher Kushina do this?"

However, Chiba's rebuttal drew even more doubtful words from Hiroko.

"Huh? In general?"

And Hirohiko's words also caught Chiba's attention.

yes……

No matter how willful Kushina is, she has always cared about us. Except for the improvement of our strength, she never made us tired or hungry. She only had good food and drink, and she never asked us to do anything that only benefits us. her personal business.

This repair...

It doesn't seem to be Kushina's usual style!

At the same time, he pondered in his heart.

"Well, I don't know, Teacher Kushina, what is the reason for being so abnormal..."

Following Chiba's words, Hirohiko's thoughtful voice slowly rang out.

Indeed, Hirohiko was right.

It's abnormal for Jiuxinna to do this, she must have a reason, what is it that made her spend so much time, and even us are at her mercy.

Um……

And listening to Hirohiko's words, Chiba also thought about it.

He believed that there must be a reason for Kushina to make them tired and hungry. Considering how much she loves the three of them, although it is inevitable, Chiba still feels that Kushina is the most important thing in the entire Hokage world. People who care about them are also the best people for them, there is no one.

He didn't think that Jiuxinna would let them do these things for no reason, and even if it was really too late to repair the house here, Jiuxinna would just leave it alone and would not really let them do this work.

There must be some reason.

As for the reason, Qianye at this time couldn't think of it for a while.

"Forget it, let's work, do as much as you can, and Teacher Jiushina will not harm us."

And at this time, Hirohiko seemed to be unable to think of any reliable reason, so he didn't think about it any more at the moment, and after leaving such a sentence, he withdrew his head and began to work bang bang bang.

"Oh...um."

Hearing this sound, Qianye only responded absent-mindedly with belated awareness.

Um?

wait a minute, this is...

Could it be?

At this moment, Qianye's figure paused slightly, as if he felt something, or sensed something, his face changed slightly.

But his heart suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he understood something.

If this is the case, it seems to be able to explain it!

Kushina, you have worked so hard!
