[Comprehensive] If you don't agree with one word, you will dry the boat

They lived in the two chambers of commerce in the north and south of the country of tea for about a week respectively. The last group set off for the country of fire amid the little girl's nostalgia for this journey.

It will take a few days to travel from the Chamber of Commerce of the Manafune family in the north of the country of tea to Konoha Village. On the way, they will pass through a relatively prosperous inland city. A city that requires a stay of more than three days.

A group of people left Konoha in early spring, but it was already early autumn.Although the maple leaves are not yet completely red, the edges of the leaves of many trees have already been dyed a light yellow||color.

The transition of yellow and green is truly beautiful.

After a little reorganization in the hotel provided by the Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Jianwen finally stopped entrusting the little girl to Itachi under Veneto's persuasion, but took the little girl for a walk on the street in person accompanied by other people .

Although it's not a ninja village, this city is very prosperous, and it can even be said that it is not inferior to Konoha Village.

The light gray bricks and stones in the center of the road are paved evenly - unless there are often horse-drawn carriages to test, it is unnecessary and impossible to lay such bricks and stones; and there are many types of shops on both sides of the road, except for the necessary In addition to a few teahouses and hotels, there are also a variety of dim sum shops, pharmacies, and even jewelry.

The little girl has seen a lot of the world with Zhou Jianwen in the past half a year, but she still can't take her eyes off when she sees such a lively and prosperous city.

Seeing Haruno Sakura's gaze fixed on a dim sum shop, Zhou Jianmin and her own girls exchanged a glance, and then smiled knowingly at each other.

"I'm a little tired after walking around for so long," Zhou Jianwen said suddenly. Under the worried eyes of the little girl, she looked towards the dim sum shop she had been staring at earlier, "Why don't we go to that shop for a while? Bar."

Since Zhou Jianwen, the only one in the group who can call the shots, has said so, naturally no one will jump out to object—it's just that the little girl herself didn't notice that her thoughts had already been discovered by others.

The climate in autumn is dry, even in the country of tea, which is located in the south of the country of fire and is also a coastal country, it is no exception, let alone this city in the inland area.

As Zhou Jianwen expected, the little girl ordered a bowl of red bean ball soup that she seemed never to get tired of eating, and ordered a plate of pastries on the recommendation of the clerk.As for the others, whether it is the ship girl who is Zhou Jianwen's subordinate, or Kakashi and Itachi who are just doing escort work, after Zhou Jianwen said "you're welcome", they are indeed not polite.

Anyway, the big guys have been together day and night for more than half a year, and the time period for being polite has already passed.

Seeing the little girl who already likes sweets and Uchiha Itachi eating with gusto—it can even be said to have a happy face, and the girls of my own ship are not too restrained in this relaxed environment. Zhou Jianwen, who has been tired of eating these snacks for 100 years, suddenly feels that this is not bad.

Zhou Jianwen, who was not in good health at first and could hardly drink cooler green tea after autumn, ordered a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus scented tea, smelling the unique taste of sweet-scented osmanthus that dispersed with the mist of water. Zhou Jianwen suddenly felt that her mood improved a lot.

"I remember that there are still a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted at home. In the past years, I have ordered my family to collect them and make sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus." Seeing that the little girl seemed to like this fragrance too, Zhou Jianwen also poured her a cup of scented osmanthus tea, and continued, " This time, I asked Fusang to collect some before going out."

"When we get back, let's use the sweet-scented osmanthus to make a snack for Sakura."

Zhou Jianwen herself is not very good at making Japanese desserts—even though she tried to make Japanese desserts because she was idle and bored during the hundred years in the soul world, but the result... don't talk about it.

But the Chinese dim sum is different. Although Zhou Jianwen only made it a few times when they were still in the command post, at first it was Yixian and Ying Rui who taught her hand in hand, and later it was only when they were alone. I did it from beginning to end by myself without speaking.

As for the effect... It's not that she is boasting, even if she doesn't become a commander in the future, she can make a fortune by relying on this skill.

Hearing Zhou Jianwen said that she wanted to make snacks for herself, the little girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded heavily. She who was still wandering around the world outside Muye Village suddenly wanted to gone back.

Probably seeing that the little girl couldn't wait for the home—to be precise, the pastry, Zhou Jianwen shook her head amusedly, and then she found that the people around her, whether they were ship girls or ninjas, showed similar expressions.

"Snacks," Zhou Jianwen stretched out her fingers and tapped the little girl's forehead lightly, her tone was as pampering as she wanted, "Don't think about eating."

The little girl subconsciously raised her hand to cover her forehead, which had no red mark at all, and then looked at Zhou Jianwen innocently with blinking eyes, and was about to say something to refute herself, but the next second she His line of sight came into contact with a rather familiar figure outside the window.

Then he subconsciously said "ah".

Zhou Jianwen thought she was hurting the little girl—although she didn't use any force, she was a little unsure when she called her out like this—even if she didn't use force with her fingertips, her nails might have scratched the little girl's Maybe the skin too.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jianwen looked nervously at the little girl in front of her, "Did it hurt you?"

However, the little girl didn't know Zhou Jianwen's worry, her eyes were still glued to the figure outside the window, until Zhou Jianwen also felt something was wrong and wanted to look out of the window, then she used her The soft voice that was as soft as his own image said in confusion:

"Mr. Bai Lan?"

Long before the little girl opened her mouth, Zhou Jianwen had already realized that her low cry might not be due to her previous behavior, but that "Mr. Bailan" also made Zhou Jianwen feel a little lost for a moment.

Not to mention Zhou Jianwen, the others—including Kakashi and Itachi—after the little girl spoke, they turned their gazes out of the window in unison——

Then they saw a certain big man who really shouldn't be here in Konoha, wearing a blue kimono and a flaxen cloak, with his head looking messy|| His white hair...was dangling near the shop window.

After hearing the little girl's greeting, the man who didn't know if he had noticed their presence in the morning immediately raised his head to look at them, then showed a bright smile and waved to them through the open window .

To be precise, he waved at the silent Zhou Jianwen.

Looking at the man's bright smile as in the past, Zhou Jianwen, who hadn't seen him for more than half a year, tightly pursed her lips and did not speak, and looked at Bai Lan for a few seconds, then moved to the side.

Seeing Zhou Jianwen look away, the smile on Bai Lan's face immediately collapsed.

Since Zhou Jianwen's back is facing everyone, others can only see the suddenly collapsed smile of Bai Lan standing outside the window, but the girls who have been watching Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan's relationship for many years are seeing Bai Lan's smile. After reacting, he immediately turned his head to look at his Miss Commander.

In fact, let alone the ship girl, even Kakashi and Itachi who don't know the usual way of getting along with Zhou Jianmin and Bai Lan can actually more or less see the personality of this Bai Lan-sama who has a pivotal position in Konoha. Who is the change in expression for?

Even in the entire Muye Village, there are not many people who can affect this person's emotional changes, and among them, only Zhou Jianwen has such qualifications.

But judging from Zhou Jianwen's reaction...

Kakashi and Itachi suddenly recalled Haruno Sakura's rather strange reaction when Haruno Sakura mentioned Bailan at the beginning of the journey.

——Could it be that there is really some unknown quarrel between these two?

Probably because the object of the gossip is too special, even if it is Mensao... No, self-made Kakashi and Itachi couldn't restrain it all at once.

When Bai Lan left the window and was about to walk into the room, the two quickly adjusted their expressions and returned to their usual posture, but their eyes were still uncontrollable. After Bai Lan walked into the room and sat next to Zhou Jianwen The person dangled back and forth.

Although it seemed to others that a rift had arisen, under such circumstances, Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan were still able to pretend that they hadn't noticed anything.

One drank sweet-scented osmanthus tea in silence, while the other asked the clerk for some refreshments after he picked up the cup and poured himself a cup of tea very naturally.

Zhou Jianwen naturally knows how strong the person's preference for sweets is when someone forced to squeeze into her side - even if her daughter and Uchiha Itachi combined, they probably can't match him in this aspect, but the problem is...

"I can't hold you to death," snorted unceremoniously, facing Bai Lan who forcibly squeezed in, she didn't have the slightest tenderness when facing the little girl.

"Don't say that, Jianwen."

As if he had regained his confidence from the frustration just now, Bai Lan, who had regrouped, returned to his smiling appearance in front of others, and then smiled at him, wondering if it was really because of his arrival The unhappy Zhou Jianwen continued:

"I came here to see you, Jianwen, why can't you show a happier look?"

The word "deliberately" sounded a little strange, and Zhou Jianwen, who had noticed the problem keenly, frowned slightly, but quickly figured out the source of Bailan's news—it's likely| |Nine or Minato told him.

According to the regulations of Konoha Village, ninjas who travel outside the village must communicate with Hokage on a regular basis.Although Zhou Jianmin has long since withdrawn from Ninja, but due to various reasons, she still kept in touch with Minato during this trip.

So Namikaze Minato naturally knew that their group would return to the village in the near future, and that she would stay in this city for the next two days.

As long as Namikaze Minato has the heart, then basically Bailan knows about it.

Zhou Jianwen, who could think of how the other party knew that she came to this city, did not show much surprise, but this did not make Bai Lan feel further frustrated——Zhou Jianwen's mind was better than those present, even if he said Anyone in this world should know.

If Zhou Jianwen couldn't figure out how he got the news, then Bai Lan would feel strange.

"So," Zhou Jianwen put down the almost empty teacup in his hand, and after slowly refilling himself a cup of tea, he squinted at Bai Lan next to him, "Why did you come here on purpose?"

Bai Lan didn't care if there were other people here, and who they were, she said directly to Zhou Jianwen, "I miss you."

"We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and finally got news of you, Jianwen, so I ran to find you impatiently," Bai Lan blinked at Zhoujian Wenba, but didn't make a move at all. The cute gesture of the little girl in Zhou Jianwen's eyes, how do you even look at it...

They all seem to be malicious.

Fearless of Zhou Jianwen's indifference, Bai Lan seemed to be used to it long ago, and continued to ask, "Jianwen, do you miss me?"

"...If you think you want it, then you think about it," Zhou Jianwen sighed softly as if she couldn't bear someone's stalking, then glanced at the side and pretended to be drinking tea and eating snacks Some people finally looked at Bai Lan again.

"I remember there is a shrine nearby," Zhou Jianwen continued after a pause, looking straight into the purple eyes of Bai Lanteng, "It just so happens that you are here too, let's go and have a look."

After understanding that Zhou Jianwen wanted to talk to her in private, Bai Lan's expression suddenly became a little subtle in the eyes of others.

The curvature of the corners of his mouth did not change, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and even the originally bright smile became a little elusive—whether it was Kakashi or Itachi, it was impossible to tell. At this moment, Bai Lan is more joyful, or is she playing some tricks.

"Well...Since Jianwen has said so, how can I refuse?" After about half a minute, Bai Lan, who still maintained that weird smiling face, suddenly said, "But Jianwen, you shouldn't Do you mind if I bring some snacks with you?"

Zhou Jianwen glanced at the dim sum on the table, most of which were ordered by Bai Lan, and nodded after a few seconds of strange silence, "You can do whatever you want."

Called the clerk to pack and pay the bill, while Bai Lan was busy telling the clerk what to take away and what to keep, Zhou Jianwen also looked at the other people who had gone out with her, "It is enough for Veneto and me to go. As for Sakura, I will trouble you."

No matter where Zhou Jianwen goes, she must bring Veneto, who is a secretary ship, let alone the ship girl, even Kakashi and Itachi, who have only been with them for half a year, know very well—in fact In recent years, every time Zhou Jianwen entered and exited the Hokage Building, there was always Veneto by his side.

Even in private discussions with Namikaze Minato, Veneto never left Zhou Jianmin's side.

Children are the most sensitive. Haruno Sakura, who sensed the abnormal atmosphere between Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan, frowned, and then pulled Zhou Jianwen's sleeve with some concern, "Master Jianwen..."

Haruno Sakura, who was raised by Zhou Jianwen's side since she was a child, is the person who knows Zhou Jianwen's private relationship with Bai Lan best besides Jianniang.

Although she had heard people mention Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan's close relationship more than once, but after all, seeing is believing. The little girl always felt that although her Master Jianwen was close to Bai Lan, but at the same time, she was so close. There are always some weird things that she can't tell.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright."

Zhou Jianwen reached out and rubbed the little girl's hair, comforted the little girl with soft words that had never been shown in front of Bai Lan, and then looked at Kakashi and Itachi who had never expressed any opinions from the beginning to the end, Then he said again:

"I'll leave Sakura to you, you can go shopping on the street again, we will finally meet at the hotel. If you have anything to do, you can tell Akagi Kaga, they will come to contact me."

The people of the Zhenzhou family have a special way of communication, which has long been no secret in the past six months of getting along—mainly Zhou Jianwen did not deliberately conceal them.

As for Kakashi and Itachi, they have never been rude to ask what this communication method is. The blood inheritance boundary and the secret technique of the clan cannot be easily spread to the outside world. Even asking questions is quite powerful. This is in the world of ninjas common sense.

Although there are other methods to replace them, those are still a minority after all.

After ordering the two young ninjas who had been with them for more than half a year, Zhou Jianmin finally looked at Akagi and Kaga.

Although she didn't say anything more this time, for the two sisters who have been with Zhou Jianwen for many years, Zhou Jianwen doesn't need any words, just a look, and they can understand.

Unanimously, they nodded towards Zhou Jianmin to express her reassurance, Chicheng and Kaga looked at Bai Lan beside him calmly, at the moment the other party was holding a few packets of snacks wrapped in oil paper, and then directed at Zhou Jianmin. Jianwen smiled innocently.

"Let's go," Zhou Jianwen, who had long been resistant to Bai Lan's smile, nodded, and then left the dim sum shop first with Veneto, who had already got up.

Bai Lan raised her foot and was about to follow, but then she seemed to remember something again, then turned her head and showed a weird smile at Kakashi and Itachi who were pretending to be wooden figures from beginning to end.

"In the past six months, Jianwen has been protected by the two of you."

It's still Prynne's iconic smile, the same sweet voice and slightly frivolous tone, but it makes Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi, who are well-informed and mature, can't help but show up. cold sweat.

Obviously the other party was just saying words of thanks, and obviously the other party did not exude any murderous intent or malice towards them, but Hatake Kakashi still felt the uneasiness and... …

An indescribable sense of trembling.

He didn't have much contact with Bai Lan, and the only few contacts were also because of his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, but he never thought that this person who seemed to be smiling all the time seemed to be unserious, but never serious in business matters. Mr. Bailan at the unambiguous "root"...

There is still such a side.

Could this be the real Bai Lan?Or did he have other intentions?

Kakashi, who was overwhelmed by the aura exuded by the other party, was a little thankful that he had been wearing a mask all year round. He opened his mouth slightly, and finally let out a slightly dry voice, "Master Bai Lan, you are welcome, this is our task."

"That's right, the task..." Bai Lan sighed meaningfully, and then nodded with a smile, "Then the task is hard work, both of you."

According to the relationship between Bai Lan and Zhou Jianwen, the few words he said successively should be very common, just expressing personal thanks, but to Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi, how can they be All mixed with a dangerous atmosphere.

Just when Kakashi, who was a little older and also the captain of this two-person team operation, was about to say something, a soft voice that belonged to a young girl suddenly broke in:

"...Mr. Bailan," the little girl who was drinking the second bowl of red bean ball soup put down the spoon in her hand, then raised her head and said to Bailan who was already looking at her, "If you don't go out again, Jianwen I'm afraid the adults are really going to be angry."

Bai Lan, who was still wondering why Haruno Sakura would speak at this time, was taken aback for a moment, and then after hearing her mention Zhou Jianwen, she subconsciously turned her head and looked towards the door following her gaze and words...

Then, he met Zhou Jianwen's cold gaze with a cold face.

If Bai Lan is really asked to choose a suitable adjective to describe Zhou Jianwen's eyes at this moment, then he can give no more than two descriptions:

Either Zhou Jianwen's gaze made him feel as if he was frozen by the zero-point breakthrough of a certain old enemy, the original version; or it was Zhou Jianwen's gaze comparable to his subordinates in the soul world Toshiro Hitsugaya uses the swastika.

"Oh, this is really distressing," Bai Lan sighed with a wry smile, although his wry smile didn't seem real to everyone.

"Thank you for your reminder, Sakura," Bai Lan felt that two holes were almost shot out of his body by Zhou Jianwen's cold gaze. The girl's hair, but his movements froze in the next second.

Not only because of Zhou Jianwen's gaze, but also because of Veneto who had come to his side when he said those words.

"Mr. Bailan," Veneto didn't call him by his name directly in front of other people, but used a slightly more respectful address, "Master Jianwen said, if you don't go there again, you don't need to show up in the future." in front of her."

Veneto faithfully relayed Zhou Jianwen's words, and successfully made Bai Lan's body stiff.

Then everyone just looked at Bai Lan, who was releasing a strange aura to them for unknown reasons just now, and rushed to Zhou Jianwen's side at a speed that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, as if flying Thunder God, and then rushed to Zhou Jianwen with a smile. Zhou Jianwen said:

"Let's go, Jianwen."
