Chapter 178 Meeting
Early in the morning, Shiro and his companions rode a giant bird and stopped at the gate of Konoha. In order to prevent any accidents, they rushed back overnight.
There was no way. Takigakure's actions this time were too bizarre. They actually sent out a Jinchūriki for a small mission. Nakamura just couldn't believe that there was no conspiracy behind it.
Although Nakamura did not know about the existence of Black Zetsu, this did not affect his judgment.
Because if there is no conspiracy, then either Takigakure is a fool, or they don't want to live.
Obviously, Takigakure, who is below the top five, is not stupid and does not have such an idea.
Therefore, Nakamura was afraid that the person behind the scenes had other tricks up his sleeve, so he brought Shiro and the others back overnight.
After registering at the gate, Nakamura and the others took Kazuki to the Hokage Building.
Along the way, Xiangyue looked at the leisurely villagers in the village with a dazed look. In her memory, these scenes only existed in her childhood memories.
During the days when she and her mother were fleeing, everyone they met had an indelible sorrow on their faces, and some of them even lived in numbness.
Therefore, the peaceful life of the Konoha villagers still had a great impact on her.
After Shilang saw it, he smiled slightly and took a step forward.
"How's it feeling? It hasn't disappointed you yet, has it?"
Xiangyue glanced at him and said, "Not yet, but who knows what your intentions are."
"Hey, come on? Weren't you thanking me yesterday? Why did you change your mind so quickly?" Upon hearing this, Shiro said with a wry smile.
Xiangyue curled her lips and said, "I was impulsive yesterday, but now I've calmed down."
Shi Lang glanced at her and sighed, "Well, whatever you say. Facts speak louder than words. You'll know soon. But aren't you afraid of offending us by saying this?"
"If you have any intentions towards me, no matter how much I try to please you, the result will not change, right? You are ninjas."
"Tsk, you're quite insightful. But I have to admit, you've made a mistake this time. We have no plans for you. You'll see once you read on."
"Let's wait and see." Xiangyue shrugged and said casually.
After Shiro finished speaking, he glanced at Xiangyue, quickened his pace slightly, and walked to Nakamura's side.
Nakamura asked without turning his head: "How is it?"
"Tsk, not so good. They are still very wary of the village. They have been wandering outside for a long time and can't react for a while."
"Ha, I thought after yesterday's communication, there would be a lot of good feelings."
"How is that possible? I now think that she might have deliberately paralyzed us yesterday so that she could take the opportunity to learn Shadow Clone." Having said this, Shiro smiled and shook his head.
"It's troublesome, forget it, just leave her alone and report the truth. Let the Hokage worry about how to make her return to his heart."
"Too."
Nakamura and Shiro did not hide their conversation. After all, it was not a secret, nor was it something shameful. Therefore, when Xiangyue, who was behind them, heard these words, her eyes flashed.
Combined with everything she saw now, she began to believe what Shilang said.
After a while, Shiro and the others could already see the Hokage Building.
Taichi walked up to her and introduced her: "Look, that's the Hokage Building."
At this moment, Xiangyue was looking up at Yingyan in shock. Before, because of the distance, she hadn't felt it so deeply. Now that she was so close, Xiangyue suddenly understood why the people here were so leisurely.
This place really makes people feel at ease. However, Taiyi's words also drew Xiangyue's attention back. She looked in the direction Taiyi pointed and saw a building with the word "fire" written on it.
But other than that, there's nothing special.
It was so dull that the red figure walking towards them was not even noticeable.
At the same time, looking at the figure running towards him, Shiro smiled bitterly, shook his head, opened his hands, and said:
"Hey, big sister, even though we haven't seen each other for so long, there's no need..."
“Huh~”
Kushina ignored Shiro who had his arms open, and rushed straight to Xiangyue and hugged her!
"." Shilang was about to withdraw his hand awkwardly, muttering, "No, it's rude."
Seeing this, Nakamura and the others smiled, but it was not the first time they had seen Shiro being funny, so they just smiled and were used to it.
Fortunately, Minato came with Kushina. He walked up and hugged Shiro, preventing him from being too embarrassed.
"Thank you for your hard work. I should have been the one to do this mission."
"It's okay, Minato-kun, isn't it the same if I go? I'm not an outsider."
"Um."
After saying that, Shiro and the others turned around and looked at the two people who were still hugging each other.
"You've suffered all these years. I'm sorry I couldn't find you sooner."
Xiangyue looked at Kushina who was hugging her and crying, and her fiery red hair and familiar breath, and slowly raised her hands and hugged Kushina.
"It's okay, this is enough." As she spoke, tears gradually flowed from Xiangyue's eyes.
It has been a long time since she felt this familiar breath. Feeling the rich chakra of Kushina, Xiangyue's tears were getting more and more.
Ever since her mother passed away, she had never felt this chakra aura that came from the same source as her own.
Shiro and the others were tactful and stood aside watching without disturbing them. They had been waiting for these days anyway, and they believed that Sandai would not mind waiting a little longer, unless he didn't want his beard anymore.
After a while, Kushina calmed down, let go of Xiangyue, hugged her shoulders, and said sobbingly:
"Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you in the future. Don't be afraid. Let's go find the old man."
"Um."
After saying that, Kushina took Kazuki's hand and walked towards the Hokage Building. At the same time, she waved to Shiro and the others, indicating that they should follow.
Seeing this, Minato shook his head and bowed slightly to Nakamura, "I'm sorry, Captain Nakamura, for interrupting your mission."
"It's okay, I understand. Let's go. Lord Hokage must be getting a little impatient." Nakamura waved his hand and walked towards the Hokage Building.
Shiro looked at Kushina who was approaching and said with a smile, "Big sister, should I be able to see this time?"
"Humph! You can see it this time, but you dare tell others about it! Haha!"
Shiro looked at Kushina's snapping right fist, helplessly raised his right hand and moved it across his mouth, making a zipper-pulling motion.
Kushina then nodded in satisfaction and continued walking towards the Hokage Building.
Minato, who was standing by, shook his head and followed them.
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was smoking a cigarette while looking at Kazuki's expression in the crystal ball, and nodded with a satisfied smile.
From the current perspective, Xiangyue has initially returned to Konoha, and all the efforts have been worth it. As long as we treat her well in the future, there is no need to worry that she will not completely return to Konoha.
There are very few tickets. I will resume the update tomorrow and finish it at noon. So, here are the tickets for you to see.
