Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"It's okay, Commander Watanabe..."

Seeing Kenshin Watanabe walking out of the front door in a daze, Xue Nai couldn't help but said.

The back view was so lost, almost downcast, that she couldn't help but speak.

"Thanks……"

Hearing Xue Nai's words, Watanabe Kenshin turned around, smiled bitterly, nodded, and said: "I'm fine, this was originally a request, since Chiba didn't have this willingness, I think..."

"Qianye must have his reasons for doing this. I have never seen Qianye refuse a request related to the safety of the village. He must have his reasons for refusing you now. Please believe him on this point."

Watanabe Kenshin was halfway through, and Xue Nai interrupted: "Chiba is not the kind of person who does not care about the safety of the village. Please don't doubt this. It will not affect his view of the village because of his personal emotions." judgment."

Obviously, Xue Nai's second half of the sentence was added after hearing Chiba and Kenshin Watanabe's previous conversation and Kenshin Watanabe's apology. Kenshin felt that Chiba refused because of personal grievances.

"There is only a certainty, please believe him, Qianye is definitely not that kind of person."

Looking at Kenshin Watanabe, Xue Nai added another sentence.

Chiba... must have his reasons...

He will never put the safety of the village at risk...

Hearing Xue Nai's words, Watanabe Kenshin's eyes widened slightly, his whole body was shocked, and he bowed slightly after a while, and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Master Xue Nai."

"No, that's what I should do."

Seeing Kenshin Watanabe's reaction, Yuki Nai smiled slightly, shook her head, and her demeanor naturally revealed a kind of elegance.

"So farewell."

Kenshin Watanabe bowed solemnly, bowed his head, saluted solemnly, and then turned and left.

And Xue Nai kept watching Watanabe Kenshin leave before turning back into the house.

It seemed that he had caught something.

And in her heart, such a thought emerged.

"Hey—? So that's the case, you are too oblique."

At this time, in addition to the sound of bowls and chopsticks beating in the kitchen, Nao's somewhat teasing words also came from the kitchen.

"Well……"

Then, there was Chiba's slightly embarrassed voice, and Xue Nai could even imagine Chiba's wry smile.

Ever since Nao moved here, Yukina has discovered Chiba's weakness, that is, she has no way to deal with Nao, who is sometimes self-willed. Moreover, during this period of getting along, she also found that Hirohiko's girlfriend is really cute. Clever, sometimes Chiba's intentions are often guessed by her, no wonder Hirohiko was eaten to death.

The phrase "Master Nao", Chiba probably meant it sincerely.

Thinking of this, Xue Nai smiled slightly, opened the gray cloth curtain, walked into it, and asked, "Qianye, do you have any reason?"

But at this time, what caught her eyes was the appearance of Chiba and Hirohiko immersed in their meals, and Nao's indifferent expression of concentration on reading.

"Well, in fact, Kenshin Watanabe served as the commander of the defense force, and I recommended it."

Hearing Xue Nai's words, Chiba said vaguely while eating, he did not intend to hide anything from Xue Nai, although he spoke vaguely, but the reason was not concealed.

It turned out to be like this, Chiba believed in the strength of Commander Watanabe, that's why he didn't think it was necessary to take over the command.

Xue Nai understood immediately.

"What an awkward fellow."

And at this time, Nao made a complaint. Qianye hurriedly buried her head in her meal, pretending she didn't hear anything.

"However, this kind of thing can't be said that I recommended you."

At this time, Xue Nai sat down on the seat next to Chiba, facing the opposite Hirohiko who was also devouring, and spoke for Chiba.

"Yes, you can help your Chiba."

Nao said indifferently.

"What... what... my... Nao... you..."

As soon as these words with a different meaning came out, Xue Nai's face turned red, and she was about to refute immediately, but she faltered, but she couldn't speak coherently, her eyes went straight to Qianye's side, for fear that Qianye would What is Ye's reaction?

However, even though she was about to lose her composure, Chiba still buried her head in her mouth, as if she didn't notice what Nao said at all.

These two...

And at this time, Hirohiko, who looked up at the situation slightly, and Nao, who heard the sound of Chiba's hard-working bowl and chopsticks and Xue Nai's anxious words, came up with such a thought at the same time.

Really anxious!

...

At this time, Naruto's office welcomed a special guest.

"Misuke, why are you here?"

The Third Hokage raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face, and looked at the middle-aged man in white standing in front of the desk.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama, I am really sorry for taking the liberty to visit you during your busy schedule."

Hinata Shinsuke saluted slightly, and said very politely.

"Is there something wrong?"

Looking at Shinsuke Hyuga, the surprise on Sandai Hokage's face slowly disappeared, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, the third Hokage-sama, regarding that matter, our Hyuga Clan has decided to accept the appointment."

Hinata Shinsuke said solemnly, but some inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes.

Xue Nai is already ten years old. Thinking about it, it has been ten years. At the beginning, it was here that Zhenye asked for higher-level tasks with us.

But at this moment, in Hinata Shinsuke's mind, images flashed one after another, as if beside him, there was still that high-spirited man standing with one hand on himself and the other on him. My childhood friend said that nonchalantly in front of the Third Hokage.

Hey, three-generation old man, with Shinsuke and Sara's eyes, and me here, isn't it suitable for S-level tasks? You are not very old, why are you so old and confused.

Thinking of this, Hinata Shinsuke couldn't help but smile.

That guy was really daring at that time. The Third Hokage was still in his prime at that time, so he couldn't possibly be an old man.

However, that guy is really powerful, even Sannin-sama dared to shout, even though he was finally beaten by Tsunade-sama and lay in the hospital for half a year.

I don't know how Komachi fell in love with this arrogant and domineering guy.

But after this thought, Shinsuke Hyuga sighed in his heart.

If, that guy was here, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have when he saw that his son had made such a great contribution and completely surpassed him.

Xue Nai lives with them, isn't this kid going to be overjoyed?

"Oh? Has Zhenxin already decided?"

The Third Hokage said with great joy that Chiba's final addition was to let the direct descendant of the Hyuga clan serve as the deputy commander of the defense force. Although the Third Hokage didn't know why Chiba made such an "excessive move", he still chose to trust Chiba subconsciously. The third generation of Hokage did not ask much, and at this moment, he was quite happy to see Chiba's proposal succeed.

After all, the direct lineage of the Hyuga clan is very important, so although his letter of appointment has reached the Hyuga clan, there is still room for the order, and it is even stated that the Hyuga clan can refuse.

This is also the village's respect for the Hyuga clan, an ancient and noble family that has always been to the village, and it is also a reward for this family that has made many contributions to the village.

"Yes, however, the candidate has been changed by you, I hope the third Hokage can agree."

Hinata Shinsuke said.

"Candidates?"

Three generations of Hokage frowned slightly, this Qianye was referring to the direct line of the clan by name, if the Hyuga clan...

"Three Hokages, please rest assured that there is no conflict between this candidate and your letter of appointment."

Hinata Shinsuke said again.

Doesn't conflict with the appointment letter?

Sandai Hokage straightened up slowly, the doubt on his face faded.

"Okay, I agree."
