Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

Speaking of which, the flower shop I went to just now?

Is it from the Ino family?

Chiba looked down at a certain kind of petite sunflower that was growing well in her hand, with golden-yellow petals. Looking at the closed front door, a thought suddenly appeared in her heart.

This morning, at Nao's suggestion, after he bought the weight-bearing props and the list Hirohiko gave him, he went to the flower shop in the village to buy such a bouquet of flowers, and then at noon, which is now, Chiba followed According to Nao's order, she is here to guard Xue Nai with a "sincerity" attitude.

Xue Nai only needs to go to the defense force for one morning today, and the noon and afternoon are the rest time.

But why didn't I think of it?

Girls should compare things like flowers, so isn't sending flowers very effective? Seeing this, Xue Nai might not be angry anymore, and her mood will get better.

Looking at the golden flowers, Chiba nodded silently, deeply feeling that what Nao said was right, and also deeply felt that although living with Hirohiko and the others during this period of time, her communication skills had improved, but she was still struggling with communication. On the one hand, it is still its own weakness.

He even felt that this aspect might become his weakness forever. After all, except for some familiar people, he was still not very good at responding to strangers, especially strangers with good intentions.

but……

How do I send this flower?

Then, Chiba discovered a very serious problem. The flowers were bought and everything was ready, but how could she apologize to Xue Nai.

"sorry?"

Thinking about it, Qianye suddenly made a gesture of handing out flowers, and then said in a way that she found difficult.

Too reluctant.

An unsatisfactory thought came to his mind.

"sorry……"

Afterwards, he changed another one, but frowned soon, as if speaking a little bluntly.

"I was wrong, sorry..."

Uh, not sincere enough?

"I apologize for my behavior this morning."

Is this too grand?

"Anyway, I'm sorry!"

Isn't this too hasty...

Because she was dissatisfied with the tone of her apology, Chiba began to hand out flowers repeatedly, and apologized in various tones.

And all of this was reflected in the eyes of a head peeking out from the kitchen, Hong Yan.

At this time, looking at Chiba's Hirohiko, his poker face had already disappeared, and his face was full of snickering expressions.

puff……

This is the first time I've seen Qianye like this, no... I can't bear it anymore!

No no no no!

My stomach hurts!

I really don't know if Nao is teaching Chiba like this, or playing tricks on Chiba!

And in his heart, there were such unscrupulous thoughts.

Chiba...that's really shameful!

And at this time, Nao was holding a book in the kitchen, although his expression didn't change much, but a drop of sweat slowly left on the back of his head.

However, Xue Nai, I can only do this for you!

Next, it's up to you.

After that, a worrying thought came to her mind.

...

And at this time, on the other side.

"Master Xue Nai, the shift has started these few days, and everything is progressing smoothly. The wounded who came back from the front line have already...Master Xue Nai? Master Xue Nai, will you listen again?"

The young and serious female ninja of the defense force halfway through speaking, glanced slightly at her deputy commander, and saw this charming little princess who was destined to be a big beauty at a young age, who was stunned at this moment Looking out the window, it seemed that she hadn't listened to her final report at all, so she couldn't help but yelled a few times in a low voice.

What to do... Chiba started that kind of training again!

Also, did I overdo it in the morning, Qianye cried out in pain, did I overdo it!

But at this time, her eyes were unconsciously looking at Xue Nai outside the window, but a series of thoughts flashed through her mind. Her mind was full of how Qianye was covered in blood this morning, and how Qianye dragged her body all over the place in the past few years. The appearance of blood coming back.

There was even one time when Qianye almost fainted by the woods covered in blood, that time it frightened her, if she didn't find out in time, the consequences would be disastrous, this time it almost became her nightmare.

However, she also knew that she couldn't stop Qianye.

"Master Xue Nai... Master Xue Nai!"

But thinking of this, her thoughts were interrupted by the female ninja she had always called Sister Mako in front of her, with a pair of bare hands dangling in front of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sister Mako, I'll watch right away!"

Then, she lost her composure in shock, hurriedly lifted up the scroll in her hand, and read it, and after reading it for a while, Xue Nai raised her head a little embarrassedly, and asked weakly: "That...Sister Mako, can you talk to me again?" Shall I say it again?"

Looking at the embarrassed Xue Nai, the embarrassment and plea on that pretty face, Mako, who was a little puzzled about Xue Nai's state, instantly lit up her eyes.

so cute!

Such a thought filled her mind.

"Of course! Master Xue Nai!"

And in her mouth, she said in such a rather hasty way.

...

"well……"

Xue Nai let out a long sigh, looked at the slowly closed door of the Ministry of Defense office, dragged a little tired, and walked on the way back to the cabin.

How should I face Chiba next...

I don't know if Qianye is angry, after all, he deliberately hurt him, although he usually doesn't care about such things, but what if, what if he gets angry?

what to do?

Walking on the road, Xue Nai frowned slightly, but her heart beat faster involuntarily.

At this moment, she panicked a little.

what to do?

What if... what if Chiba gets angry?

"despair!"

While thinking about it, her steps slowed down until she stood still, her face was completely flustered.

...

Well……

At this time, Qianye, who was guarding the front door, half-closed his eyes, looked at the closed front door, and frowned slightly.

Why haven't you come back yet?

It's almost twelve o'clock, and you should be able to come back. Now the major ninja villages on the front line have basically entered a truce. I have also read the rotation table of the defense force. There is no problem, it is almost perfect, and every rotation It's normal, or if there is a tacit understanding, it should be impossible for any mistakes to take time!

At this moment, Qianye was slightly puzzled.

Not only him, even Nao and Hirohiko felt strange, and walked out of the kitchen without knowing it.

"what happened?"

Nao spoke first.

"I don't know, Xue Nai hasn't come back yet, it shouldn't be possible, there is nothing that will make her late."

Chiba turned her head and glanced at Nao.

"Do you want me to go and have a look?"

Hirohiko also opened his mouth and said, according to their calculations, Xue Nai should have gone home ten minutes ago. The office of the defense force is near the gate of the village. In fact, it is not very far from the cabin.

Xue Nai should have come back long ago.

"No, it's still me..."

After hearing Hirohiko's words, Chiba looked at the flowers in her hand, shook her head, and denied Hiroko's words.

"Squeak!"

Before he could finish the second half of his sentence, however, the front door opened.

"I returned……"
