"Zizi ......"

The sound of oil splashes popping one after another, and the whole piece of barbecued meat is on the rack, or it is skewered with various vegetables, and the charcoal grill emits this attractive aroma.

Chiba sat on the threshold of the front door of the cabin, his brows furrowed slightly, the skewers of grilled meat and vegetables in his hands still bubbling, apparently freshly grilled, exuding a mouthwatering aroma of meat.

However, Chiba, who has always had no resistance to meat, seems to have no appetite at the moment, and in his gaze, it is Obito, Ebisu and Genma who are frolicking together, Asma is in his pocket with one hand, taking care of the barbecue and vegetable skewers on the shelf, Red and Rin are helping him, and as for Kai, it seems that he is still trying to pose as the "Victory V" he gave to Chiba, bouncing on the ground, a happy scene.

"What's wrong? Looks like something is on your mind?"

And at this time, Kakashi didn't know when, he had already walked up to him and handed him the drink in his hand.

"Oh, nothing. ”

Hearing Kakashi's words, as well as the drink handed over, Chiba shook his head and took Kakashi's drink.

"Really?"

Looking at Chiba, Kakashi didn't leave, just sat down beside him and said, "Are you still worried about Taketake's affairs?"

"Nope. ”

Chiba shook his head, he had let go of Shiga's affairs, at least he had forcibly put this matter behind him, what he was thinking about now was indeed not something that Shiga betrayed.

"Really, but Shiga's business is really ......."

Kakashi frowned slightly, to be honest, when he heard that Shiga had betrayed, stabbed Chiba, and even killed Morino-sensei and Kento in battle, his first reaction in his heart was disbelief.

He and Shiga Taketake have also been on several missions together, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and Shiga Taketake's tactics and strategies have also impressed him, and even in terms of tactical arrangements, he has learned some from him.

Moreover, under the encirclement and interception of the enemy, they also fell into a desperate situation several times, and during the battle, they also cultivated a considerable comradeship, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are friends, and even, when he learned that the task of arming the map might be carried out by himself, one of the pieces of information he learned was that he was among the members of the intelligence force, and he continued to ask about the situation of the deployment map and the personnel involved after learning that he could not participate in the task of deploying the map.

He was still quite worried about Shiga in his heart.

And when he heard that Chiba had returned from his mission, he still had a big stone in his heart, and he only felt incredulous when he confirmed Shiga's betrayal, and even killed and injured his fellow villagers, as well as his teacher's best friend at the same time.

This kind of camaraderie that is hard to believe is unimaginable for ordinary people, and fighting side by side cannot be easily parted with even a mission-oriented ninja like him. And the kind of trust that comes from fighting side by side is even stronger than ordinary people can imagine. To this day, he has no real sense of Shiga's betrayal.

But I have to believe that the sword in Chiba's chest is even the Mizuto teacher who rescued Chiba when he talks about it, there is no doubt that Shiga betrayed and stabbed the village's partner in the back.

"It's his choice. ”

And hearing Kakashi's words, Chiba temporarily suppressed the worry in his heart and sighed.

"Well, his choice. ”

Kakashi nodded, agreeing with Chiba's point of view, with a slight sigh in his words. After that, he turned his gaze slightly, followed Chiba's gaze, and said, "From just now to now, you have been looking at Hirohiko and Nao, do you have anything about them that you are worried about?"

In Kakashi's eyes, the reflection was that Nao was carefully blowing the freshly grilled barbecue, while Nao was quietly leaning on Hirohiko's arm, frowning slightly, as if listening to all kinds of frolicking sounds around him, and at the same time, there was a touch of discomfort on his face in the face of the lively scene, and he looked like a shy girl.

"Nao has a strange illness on her body. ”

For Kakashi, unlike others, Chiba knows Kakashi, and even knows what he will face next, and they have also carried out missions together, Chiyo's antidote mission, if Kakashi didn't drag most of the enemies, his battle against Chiyo would not have been so smooth, and besides, he still liked the role of Kakashi quite much in his previous life, and the two were also familiar with each other, so Chiba was still relatively close to Kakashi, and he could say something to him.

"Strange disease?"

Kakashi frowned, looked at Hirohiko and Nao's intimate appearance, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, Nao should have been blind......?"

"Yes, because of her strange illness. ”

Chiba nodded, frowning even tighter.

"So you're going to heal her?"

Kakashi asked again, apparently understanding Chiba's worries.

"Well, I promised Hirohiko that I would definitely cure Nao. ”

Chiba nodded, and with a "snap", the oil flowers gathered into drops, dripping from Chiba's meat skewers, and slashing a few drops of oil in the ground.

"Is it cured?"

Hearing this, Kakashi's brow furrowed. He was keen to hear something.

Although Chiba said this sentence plainly, but in a sharp tone, it was not so much for him to hear, but for Chiba himself.

He could tell that Chiba had no confidence at all in this matter.

"I don't know. ”

Chiba shook her head dryly and said, "However, I have to do it." Even if it is not cured, the disease must be stabilized. ”

Stabilized?

Is this strange disease still unstable?

Hearing Chiba's words, Kakashi seemed to sense something, and looked at Hirohiko sharply, and his heart suddenly brightened.

It turned out to be for Hirohiko, this guy Chiba......

"Smack!"

And after thinking about this, Kakashi suddenly reached out and patted Chiba on the shoulder, causing Chiba to turn his head in shock. And he said: "Then, you need to eat and sleep well, don't you say? The next treatment is absolutely time-consuming and laborious." ”

Looking at Kakashi's slightly curved eyes, Chiba could imagine the smile under Kakashi's mask, and hearing his words, Chiba couldn't help but look at the meat skewers that had cooled down, and the frowning brows slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile.

"Yes!"

Then, take a big bite of a piece of grilled meat and chew it.

Yes, it's useless to worry now, the treatment must be carried out, and it may be a long-term process, I will not only heal Nao, but also train to improve my strength and face all the possibilities that will happen to change my fate!

Thinking of this, Chiba took another bite of the vegetable.

Seeing Chiba's appearance, Kakashi let go of his hand, took a slight breath, stood up, and said, "Then, let's return to the team!"

"Returning to the team?"

Chiba was stunned for a moment, her eyes raised slightly, only to find that everyone had already made a mess, and Nao seemed to let go of her guard, and talked to Lin and Hong, and in her words, it seemed that she often provoked Obito on the side's face to become bitter.

At this moment, the two of them, as if they had left the team, hid outside the joyful atmosphere.

"You're the protagonist of this celebration!"

Kakashi stepped forward.

Protagonist...... Is it?

Chiba looked at Kakashi's back, and his stunned expression slowly turned to a smile.

Thank you, Kakashi!

Thinking about it, Chiba took a slight breath and walked forward with Kakashi.

And at this moment, the others seemed to feel something, and they all raised their heads and looked at Kakashi who was walking and Chiba who was walking away.

Then, in unison, he raised his hand and waved it.

"Chiba is back, let's let go of our stomachs and eat!"

The sound of warmth and joy resounded again in the remote corner of the village.
