"Then let's go, Kushina-sensei!"

It was already ten o'clock in the night, and before they knew it, the three of Chiba had been staying at Uchiha Mikoto's house for nearly a day, and the three of them were saying goodbye to Kushina.

"It's dark, be careful on the road."

Kushina was obviously in a good mood and waved goodbye with a smile. Because of the current situation of the Uchiha family, Kushina decided to stay and take care of Uchiha Mikoto and Itachi. According to her words, the people left by the current Uchiha family

Mikoto is not familiar with her either, so it is reassuring to take care of her by herself, both herself and Mikoto.

As for Uchiha Mikoto, she fell asleep with Itachi, so she didn't come to say goodbye. However, even if she wanted to see Chiba and the others off, she probably couldn't. After all, she was weak after giving birth and couldn't get up.

Therefore, there is only Kushina here.

The three people who had already walked some distance also turned around and waved.

"We got it."

Watching Chiba and the others leave, Kushina's lips curled up into a smile.

Have these three children grown taller?

As her thoughts turned, she returned to Uchiha Mikoto's house, looked at the sleeping Uchiha Mikoto and Itachi, gently lifted the quilt for them, then took out the quilt from the cupboard and spread it around the mother and son.

After the paving was completed, Kushina exhaled: "Next, it's time to prepare dinner!"

Then, she was slightly startled.

Oops, I was so busy watching Itachi tormenting Chiba that I forgot to ask them to stay for dinner.

Thinking of Itachi holding on to Chiba during the day and refusing to let go, crying loudly, and Chiba's face, Kushina smiled knowingly.

During the day, since being held by Chiba, Itachi was unwilling to let go. If someone else wanted to take him away, no matter how happy Itachi was smiling at the time, he would suddenly change his face and cry, unwilling to leave Chiba.

This made Chiba really anxious. To be honest, he would rather face a hundred-man ninja army than face Itachi as a baby. I really don’t know what Itachi saw in him.

He wouldn't let go.

Originally, he was a little afraid to hold such a small baby, for fear of making a small mistake and causing irreparable consequences, such as falling or losing it. Then he saw Itachi crying and laughing and insisting on him to hold it.

His heart was in a state of turmoil and he never calmed down. In the end, he was noisy for nearly a day, and Itachi didn't even let him go to eat. Chiba basically finished his lunch under Itachi's curious eyes.

Maybe Itachi is gifted. Babies usually go to bed around the same time. This guy managed to wait until sunset before falling into a deep sleep. It was also while he was asleep that Chiba was able to send him to her mother's side.

.

Chiba’s hands were sore from hugging him!

Of course, with Itachi's small body, Chiba would not feel heavy, and he would not be tired even if he hugged him for a whole day. However, he was so nervous that cold sweat wet his back twice, and his whole body was so stiff.

, the muscles are tense and the hands are not sore.

However, although Qianye felt like he was suffering when he held the child, Qianye also had a strange feeling in his heart.

Itachi's purest and most innocent smile made him calm down involuntarily.

Yes, the anxiety of facing the unknown fate calmed down at that moment. Looking at that smile, Qianye felt as if his whole body was lightened, and warmth arose in his heart.

At that moment, he seemed to understand something, why the ninjas of Konoha Village, and even the ninjas of other ninja villages, would fight bloody battles, risking life and death. In order to protect the village, they would do anything.

Maybe, just to protect this smile!

This "new" smile.

Chiba's mentality calmed down.

He himself found it incredible that just the smile of a baby, even though the baby had no blood relationship with him, could calm him down.

Although he was exhausted and complaining endlessly, he felt sincerely lucky to be able to see Itachi's voice and the innocent smile of this newborn baby.

Even if this newborn's hands will be stained with the blood of his own race and even his parents in the future.

Because now, when he thinks back to his previous situation, he finds that if he faces the next fate with his previous mentality...

Nine times out of ten, Kushina will die, and he...will die too!

Ninja battles are full of deceit, and the ninjutsu and illusions are very compatible with deception. If there is a slight difference or a mistake, the whole game may be lost. Although Chiba has not experienced many battles, However, most of the opponents he fights are today's top-notch ninjas. He knows it very well and can judge it. His previous mentality will inevitably affect his judgment during the battle, and he may even worry about gains and losses. This is a big taboo. If he encounters someone with a similar strength, Big opponents are basically mortal. Even if you encounter an opponent weaker than yourself, you may be unable to win or even lose your life.

To be honest, thinking about it now, Chiba almost broke into a cold sweat again.

At this time, the three of them were walking together. When they reached the village, Hirohiko said goodbye to the two of them and went home, leaving Chiba and Yukina behind.

However, the two of them were not in a hurry to go home, but went to buy groceries.

"Hey? Isn't that the little princess of the Hinata family?"

"Yes! I seem to be here to buy groceries all the time lately!"

"Oh, she really deserves to be Miss Xuena. She is just like a porcelain doll, so cute!"

"Yeah... I don't know who can marry this little princess in the future."

"Hey! Don't even think about the second half of your sentence. There is no hope for your boy to be obsessed with the little princess. The Hinata family has a strict family tradition and noble blood. I am afraid that only someone with the same noble blood can marry Yuki. Miss Nye."

…

On the way to buy vegetables, when I saw Xue Nai, almost all of them made such praises and sighs. Although the villagers selling vegetables tried to lower their voices, they still fell into the ears of Xue Nai and Chiba. Chiba was fine. Xuena's cheeks were slightly red, and from time to time she glanced behind her at Chiba, who was picking vegetables seriously.

Marry, marry, marry... marry someone?

"Xue Nai, this meat is good, should we buy it?"

Chiba walked to a meat stall and then stopped, unable to move any further.

Xue Nai walked in front and had been paying attention to him. She had stopped almost when Chiba stopped, and she couldn't help but smile.

I knew he couldn't get past this point.

"Hey? Look, isn't this the son of a traitor? Why is he with little Princess Xue Nai?"

"No way, from the looks of them, are they here to buy groceries together?"

"What? Little Princess Xuena and this brat are shopping for groceries together? I don't think there's something right about this situation!"

"Are you kidding me? Aren't the little princess Yukina and this brat both students of Kushina-sama? They must have been sent by Kushina-sama to buy groceries!"

…

As soon as Chiba spoke, it seemed that the uncles and aunties selling vegetables finally noticed him, and the topic of whispers shifted to him.

As for these whispers, Chiba of course ignored them. He only had eyes for the good pork belly in front of him.

Seeing Chiba's salivating look, Xuena couldn't help but laugh, and happily bought the large piece of pork belly.

At this time, Chiba discovered that Xuena went out to buy groceries, but...

Able to discount!

And it was discounted directly!

Needless to say, the boss automatically gave me a discount, and even the price quoted was the discounted price. Chiba also often buys groceries, so he knew the prices clearly, so the boss definitely quoted a half-discount price.

What's even more frightening is that not only this boss, but all the bosses will give Xuena a discount to some extent, and they all quote the discounted price without even asking for a bargain.

At this moment, Qianye finally knew what it meant to be a noble bloodline respected by the village!
Chapter completed!
