The girl slept from morning to noon.

She woke up due to the smell of rice, and when she woke up, she saw Senju Shige holding a tuna rice ball dangling near her nose, dangling it...

She puffed up her face and, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, opened her mouth and said "Ah woo!" and bit off half of the rice ball.

"...My rice balls!" The little Shiba Inu suddenly let out a mournful cry.

The little black cat then smiled proudly while chewing the rice ball, and then heard the "animal friends" complaining -

"You actually took such a big bite, Hoshi-chan, your mouth is too big."

"...You have a big mouth." She was so angry that she stretched out her hand to hit the person, and then the other person grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit up.

It was lunch break time for the traveling team, and because we didn’t have enough time, we didn’t do much serious cooking. Everyone just lit firewood to boil hot water or soup, and then ate the rice balls prepared in advance.

type of food.

But to be honest, this is considered a good treatment for ninjas who go on daily missions or sleep in the open during battles.

Not to mention, Senju Tobirama had already arranged his night's accommodation along the way before going out. After receiving the order, the Konohagakure garrison in various towns had already been prepared, just waiting to welcome them.

The arrival of this group of people. After all, this is the territory of the Land of Fire, the serious "turf of Konoha Village", so it is reasonable to make arrangements in advance.

Therefore, when going out this time, although the safety factor is still unknown as always (after all, the life of a ninja is always accompanied by danger, no one dares to say that it is absolutely safe), the traveling environment is actually quite comfortable.

Qianju Tojian, who had gone and returned, opened the curtain and looked at the girl who wanted to wake him up in person. He suddenly felt a little pity for some reason, but he said: "Fan, it was you who woke up Xingxing?"

"It's not that I didn't, uncle, don't talk nonsense." Senju Shige denied Sanlian seriously, "I just shook the rice ball in front of Hoshi's nose, and then she woke up on her own."

The girl glared at him.

Senju Tobirama looked at the little girl holding the rice ball in her hands and taking small bites. He felt from the bottom of his heart that the way she was tempted by the food until the tip of her nose trembled slightly and then slowly opened her misty eyes must be very cute, but... what she saw

He is not the only person.

Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes slightly and entered the car again.

Senju Shigeru, who was eating another pork and tamagoyaki rice ball, suddenly felt a chill down his spine for some unknown reason. He quickly raised his head and looked left and right like a frightened puppy.

"What's wrong?" The girl looked at him in surprise - her intuition and perception were very good, but she didn't feel any hostility. She subconsciously lowered her head and looked at Kyuubi, grabbing a Senju hand handed to her.

The little orange fox eating the chicken rice ball shook his head, indicating that he felt nothing.

One of Kyuubi's abilities is to "perceive malice", and he is quite authoritative in this regard.

"...No, it's probably an illusion." Senju Shige scratched his head and muttered, "I just suddenly felt a chill running down my spine. Maybe someone was scolding me behind my back. Tsk, he is definitely a despicable person."

Qianju Tobijian: "..." Haha.

Just at this time.

Uchiha Kage opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Brother Fan, thank you for treating us to the rice balls. Teacher, we cooked miso soup, do you want to drink some?"

"Thank you for your hard work." Senju Tobirama nodded with a smile and turned to ask the other two people in the car, "Do you want it?"

"Yes!" x2

The two raised their hands at the same time in a tacit understanding.

"Copy that." Uchiha Kage then turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen who was serving soup and said, "Hiruzen, three bowls of soup."

"Come on~~~" Hiruzen Sarutobi responded in the style of a small shop clerk, then quickly filled three bowls of soup, put them on a tray and handed them to Uchiha Kagami who came over, and said jokingly, "This

Guest, thank you for your patronage, the total is three hundred taels."

Uchiha Kage gave him a roll of his eyes: "Are you robbing money?"

Akimichi Tifeng, who was eating rice balls at the side, complained: "If you are really willing to buy it, you can make more money than robbing money."

The rest: "..."

Not long after.

The three people in the car drank the hot soup and ate rice balls of various flavors that Senju Shigeru carried with him. He brought a lot, and after giving a bunch to his second uncle's disciples, he also

There are a lot of them. But in a sense, this is normal, because the people of the Senju family have really good appetites.

Ninjas consume a lot of energy and are bigger eaters than ordinary people.

The ninjas of the Senju family are even more famous in the ninja world for their physical strength.

After lunch, everyone took a short rest and then continued on their way.

The girl looked at Kyuubi's bored expression. After hesitating for a moment, she asked Senju Tobirama in a low voice: "Tobirama-sama, can you let Kyuubi Lama go out for a walk by himself? I mean, without leaving the convoy." She said in the afternoon.

I plan to continue to study the Flying Thunder God Scroll. This is better in the car than on the back of Kyuubi, otherwise it will be a bit "artificial".

Hearing this, Kyuubi's ears immediately stood up, and his eyes were bright as he looked at the Senju Tobirama.

Before the latter could answer, Senju Shige raised his hand: "Xing, if you are not free, I can accompany the Nine Lamas."

Kyuubi pouted: "You just want to ride me, right?"

"Yeah~" Senju Shige said seriously, "After all, you are the strongest tailed beast, the Kyuubi. Being able to ride on your back once is enough to boast for a lifetime, right?"

"Uh-huh." Kyuubi crossed his arms with his paws a little proudly, "I guess you are sensible."

"So?" Senju Shige rubbed his hands.

After Kyuubi hesitated for a moment, he nodded and replied: "...Okay." After all, this boy can be regarded as a descendant of young master Ashura, and his father is still the Senju Hashirama. Besides, this white hair still seems to be worried.

It, please stop causing trouble to Hoshi-chan. However, it warned seriously, "You are different from Hoshi-chan, you are not my contractor, so don't touch and move around on my back, otherwise I will throw you away."

Come down!"

"Hi~~~" Senju Shige responded "especially sincerely".

Ever since, the scene in the morning was repeated again, but this time the person riding on the back of Kyuubi was replaced by Senju Shige.

Of course, Kyuubi didn't have such a good temper towards him, nor did he take the initiative to lean down, but let Senju Shige jump up on his own. Moreover, instead of walking steadily, this time Kyuubi chose to go back and forth around the convoy.

I ran away, as if I wanted to get back a little bit of that "wind-chasing tailed beast" feeling...

But this seemed to be in line with Senju Shige's thoughts. He raised his hands high and shouted excitedly from time to time. He looked really happy.

The others watched this scene silently, and I have to say that they were still a little envious. After all, this was Kyuubi...

At this moment, Senju Shige is like a wealthy young man driving a Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom in front of a group of poor people who can only walk, and expounding on his own words what "inhumanity" means. Are you envious? You can't be envious.

Who makes my father really awesome...

Qian Ju Tojian looked at this scene through the car window and couldn't help but shake his head: "This kid is really..."

"Well, as long as Fan is happy," the girl who was lying on the car window watching this scene said with a smile.

"You like Fan very much?" Qianju Tojian asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, I like it." The girl nodded happily.

"..." Qian Shu Feijian's eyes widened slightly.

She continued: "Everyone in my family is very nice to me, but among my peers, only Fan is the same as me. Therefore, when Hashirama-sama asks me to go out to play, Fan is usually there.

Stay with me."

Qianju Tobijian suddenly realized: This is indeed the case. The other children are from two couples, and they are either pregnant or working, so how can they have time to play with her? In comparison, Fan will obviously spend more time with her.

Moreover, that child... is actually quite lonely, right?

As the youngest son of the contemporary Hokage, he can have countless "friends" if he wants to. However, at this point, he seems to have the same idea as his biological father - people who seem to have a good relationship can have

There are many, but it is better to have few friends than too many, otherwise I would rather be alone.

Hiruzen and Kagami are both good young people, but they get along more with each other as teammates, so they only maintain an ordinary friendly relationship with Shigeru. Well, Hiruzen and Kagami seem to be better, and only

They both call Fan "Brother Fan".

"Tobirama-sama, don't worry too much," the girl whispered.

"Huh? What?" Senju Tobirama asked, turning his head.

The girl lowered the curtains, then approached the silver-haired man, put a hand on her lips, and said in a low voice: "I think Fan is a very good person who takes care of himself, and he loves his current life very much." She said.

At this moment, it felt a bit like "talking about others behind their backs", so I tried very hard to lower my voice.

Senju Tobirama lowered his eyes and stared at the girl's face close at hand, sighing "Yes, Shige is indeed a good boy who lives a clear and transparent life", but at the same time he was a little distracted——

His face is so small, it seems to be as big as his palm.

The eyes are so big and round, so cute...

Hmm? What’s that on the inside corner of your mouth? Is it the shredded seaweed you accidentally picked up after lunch?

…

"...Tobirama-sama?" the girl let out a low exclamation.

Qianju Tojian came back to his senses and found that his fingers had unknowingly touched the corner of the girl's mouth. He secretly regretted it, but had to bite the bullet and finish the action. His thumb gently brushed her lips.

He picked up the bit of seaweed from the corner of his mouth, and then showed it to her: "It's stained."

"..." The girl quickly raised her hand and wiped her mouth in embarrassment.

Qianju Tobirama also lowered his eyes, took out a white handkerchief and wiped his fingers. After that, he unconsciously rubbed the thumb that was covered by his sleeves, looked at his hands and covered his face, and whispered, "It's so embarrassing... so good."
To be continued...
