Chapter 599: Reaching a Consensus [II]
"Being human? When did I stop being a man...... You see, what I just said was just telling the truth. Even if something happens, it can only be said that she wants to be crooked, no wonder me? ”
After resolving the conflict between Chiyo's mother-in-law and Kakashi, Naruto's mood, although he has not completely come out of the psychological shadow brought about by the violent and uncontrollable state that he involuntarily fell into when he fought with Ai before. But the mood that pretended to be calm obviously became much more relaxed and enjoyable. So much so that when he heard Shikamaru's words and complained, Naruto, who was in a better mood, winked at Shikamaru with a [super] face [level] without [owing] Gu [bian], and responded with a straight response.
"The most important thing is...... Anyway, if you fight one-on-one, Temari won't be able to beat me. So, even if she is really annoyed and angry, then you will be the only one who will suffer at most, and it has nothing to do with me~"
Of course, it was precisely because of the change in mood that Naruto did not notice the complex emotions hidden in the depths of Shikamaru's eyes......
"Tsk, listen to it, listen to yourself...... Do you say what people say? Your conscience will not ache...... Ahem, I'm sorry, I forgot again, you didn't have a 'conscience' from the beginning! ”
At the same time, Shikamaru's response to Naruto's [thick] straight [face] qi [none] strong [shame] was obviously used to and adapted to it. So much so that as soon as Naruto's words fell, Shikamaru rolled his eyes at Naruto, and while jokingly complaining, he decisively gave up his plan to continue the topic. On the one hand, when they met before, they were already quite curious about the number of companions around Naruto, especially the two brothers Ai and Kirabi, who had never met before, but who could deter Raksha and make him dare not act rashly, and in the moment of conversation, he couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Anyway, I've been wanting to ask since I just started...... These people don't seem to be from our village, right? Aren't you going to help introduce it? ”
"Anla, even if you don't ask, I'll introduce you."
As for Shikamaru's reply, Naruto not only did not feel the slightest shame and shame, but as if he had received Shikamaru's praise, the smile in his eyes became more and more vigorous. Immediately, under Shikamaru's questioning words, although he knew that the other party was changing the topic, he still waved his hand, signaling everyone to go into the room, and then slowly discuss the issue of room allocation. While moving his palm, he gently patted Shikamaru's shoulder, and responded with a smile and a smile in his bent eyes.
"It's just that it's a little tricky to explain. In addition, there are many people on this street, so it is not a good place to talk......"
"So, let's go into the house first...... I'll tell you about it when everything settles down. ”
Of course, what Naruto didn't tell everyone around him in these words was that he vaguely felt that something was wrong......
The son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo's mother-in-law were killed by Kakashi's father. The only bloodline left in the world, that is, Chiyo's mother-in-law's own grandson, the Red Sand Scorpion, chose to defect to the village and became an extremely dangerous S-class traitor. Chiyo's mother-in-law, who felt that her life was full of failures, was in this discouragement, and Chiyo's mother-in-law, who had no nostalgia for everything in the world, to a certain extent, like Luo Sha, who doubted life at the moment, chose to retreat step by step into the background, and never asked about the world again. So much so that even Luo Sha planned to invade Konoha Village, which was originally an ally, to fight for a glimmer of life for Shayin Village, and at this emergency moment related to the survival of the village, Chiyo's mother-in-law did not come forward to stop or oppose anything, let alone agree to Luo Sha's request, and personally participated in it to earn more chances for Shayin Village......
After all, in the eyes of Chiyo's mother-in-law, it is no longer an insignificant matter what the future will look like in Shayin Village, which has lost most of her family and left only her younger brother, who is also very old......
Because of this, Chiyo's mother-in-law was in the original plot, but it wasn't until she knew that in the kidnapping of my Airo, the Red Sand Scorpion was also involved, so she was willing to come forward to help! So it stands to reason that if you want to successfully invite her, but you can't get the whereabouts of the red sand scorpion as a reward for luring the old man to "take the bait......
Not to mention that Ai, who is the fourth generation of Lei Ying, suddenly visited Shayin Village. Even if Naruto and them enter the state of tailed beast transformation and make a lot of trouble in the village, I am afraid it will not be enough to arouse the interest of Granny Chiyo, let alone let Granny Chiyo come forward and contact Naruto and them in person!
In this case, being able to be easily said by Kankuro to come forward, and in the process of fighting, he did not have the demeanor of a shadow-level powerhouse at all, but was more like a stunned young man with no strategy at all, and his strength was worried, and he was played by Naruto's Chiyo mother-in-law...... No matter how you think about it, it seems too abnormal and wrong, right?!
In other words......
This episode of contact with Naruto and their conflict in advance......
Was it a pure accident......
Or is it a good show deliberately staged under someone's arrangement......
……
At the same time, the words are divided into two ends......
Just as Naruto and his party, led by Temari, came to the residence arranged for them in Sand Hidden Village......
Let's shift our perspective to the other side and come to the house where Chiyo's mother-in-law is......
At this moment, Chiyo's mother-in-law, who had already resolved the misunderstanding, and achieved a certain goal, naturally didn't even say hello, and didn't ask Luo Sha's opinion, so she directly took her own peacemaker brother and went away by herself, returning to this secluded place where she had stayed for more than ten years. After sitting cross-legged and sitting by the pool in the center without saying a word, he picked up the fishing rod that he had thrown aside and continued to enjoy the leisurely time of fishing.
"Are you sure, you're okay? Sister ......"
Compared with Chiyo's mother-in-law, before and after, it seems that she has completely changed as if she is a person, and her face is expressionless and indifferent. Rao is on weekdays, and Ebizo, who is used to getting along with his sister, can't help but swallow his saliva. Immediately, while imitating Chiyo's mother-in-law's movements, he sat face to face with Chiyo's mother-in-law through the barrier of the pool. While raising his eyebrows slightly, he asked out loud uneasily.
"Do you want me to find a medical ninja to help you check your body?"
“……”
It's just that in the face of Ebizo's inquiry, from the moment she sat down cross-legged, Chiyo's mother-in-law, who was holding the fishing rod with both hands and drooping her head, was silent for a long time, and she didn't have any intention of responding. On the contrary, the whole body began to lean forward slowly and silently. Even the top of the fishing rod in his hand also popped and fell directly into the water!
"Sister......? Sister?! ”
This strange performance made Hai Laozang, who was also old and knew that he would not live long, suddenly chuckled in his heart. Immediately, under the foreboding premonition that emerged in his heart, he instinctively swallowed his saliva, and at the same time spoke again, tentatively calling for Chiyo's mother-in-law. It wasn't until after a short pause that Ebizo, who still hadn't been able to get a response from Chiyo's mother-in-law, was completely panicked and hurriedly screamed for help.
"No...... Oh no, someone! Come on......! ”
"Hahaha——! Lie to you, I'm just playing dead! ”
Just when Ebizo thought that Chiyo's mother-in-law had died after fighting again in person after many years, she was overwhelmed by her body. Chiyo's mother-in-law, who had been motionless, suddenly raised her head and pulled the fishing rod back from the water. Then, while throwing the hook out of the water, grasp it between your fingers with great precision. Like a child who has succeeded in his prank, he laughed proudly at Ebizo's worried gaze.
"How? Very realistic, right? Got tricked by me, didn't you? Hahaha——! ”
"How many times have you said it, don't pretend to be so like! Sister! Originally, when I was old, my heart was a little irritated. If you come a few more times, I'll have to be scared to death by you! ”
And when he saw that Chiyo's mother-in-law had resumed her movements and confirmed that the other party was just trying to make herself happy by pretending to be dead and scaring people as usual, Ebizo not only did not feel angry and dissatisfied with this, but breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, with a little grievance, he responded to Chiyo's mother-in-law's ridicule angrily, raised his hand, swayed slightly, and motioned to the sand ninjas who stumbled in after hearing his call for help outside the door, and then withdrew again.
"Then again...... Since you're pretending to be dead, you should have heard what I just said, right? ”
"Hahaha——! I'm sorry, but every time you react, it's so funny, I can't help but want to tease more! ”
When she heard Ebizo's complaining words, Chiyo's mother-in-law, who had already figured out her brother's good personality, was like a bear child who was pampered and connived, and had no fear, although she responded perfunctorily, but from the more and more smug smile, it was enough to prove that she had no intention of reflecting and repenting. Then there was a brief pause, after softening the slight suffocation caused by the repeated laughter. Granny Chiyo flicked the rod again, tossing the bare hook with no bait into the pool in front of her. While raising his eyebrows slightly, he continued in a puzzled voice.
"What did you just say? Did you just say something to me? ”
"Sure enough, I knew it was going to be like this...... Forget it, looking at you like this, there should be no injuries in your body. ”
For the only relative he left in this world, the sister of an old naughty boy who is more and more naughty, it makes Hai Laozang feel a headache, as if the relationship between sister and brother, in the passage of time, unconsciously reversed into a brother-sister relationship, so that Hai Laozang looks at Chiyo's mother-in-law's helpless gaze, there will always be a little bit of spoiling. So much so that he raised his hand to his forehead and sighed briefly. Ebizo reorganized the logic of the language, and repeated the questions raised before to Chiyo's mother-in-law word by word.
"So, I'll ask you the first question again...... Are you still satisfied with the results of this sale? ”
"Well, so-so......"
Fortunately, playing is fun, but when talking about business, Chiyo's mother-in-law is still able to grasp the measure. So much so that after hearing Ebizo's inquiry, Chiyo's mother-in-law changed her face like a Peking opera, and just by blinking her eyes, she restrained the playful look on her face. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking about the details he had personally observed up close when he fought with Naruto and his party not long ago, and replied pointedly.
"Although it is not certain for the time being, there is really one of those people who, as the man said, has the ability to find the child of the scorpion...... But in terms of the overall strength, it is still quite amazing. ”
Between the words, it is obvious that ......
Just as Naruto suspected, the reason why Chiyo's mother-in-law, who had retreated into the background from the moment the Red Sand Scorpion defected and never asked about the world again, was so easily persuaded in this incident and chose to rush to the scene in person was not because Kankuro's three-inch tongue was enough to move Chiyo's cold heart. It's because, long before Kankuro, who wanted to be on the safe side, came to try to persuade Granny Chiyo to come forward and help Luo Sha, Granny Chiyo had already been in contact with other people, and was stimulated by the conditions offered by the other party, which stimulated her interest for a long time......
And this man's approach is also very simple and rude......
That is, after uninvited, after finding Chiyo's mother-in-law. Through one-on-one battles, he showed a strong strength that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. And with the hidden rule of respecting the strong, he won the respect of Chiyo's mother-in-law. Later, as if premeditated, she told Chiyo's mother-in-law that in Naruto's party, there was not only the biological son of her enemy who wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, Kakashi Hachiki. There is even a person who has the ability to accurately locate the traces of her biological grandchildren that she thinks about day and night in just a few days!
In this way, in the original plot, I just heard that in the incident of attacking the village and kidnapping Iro, after the Red Sand Scorpion was involved, even though she knew that the other party was far away, even if she left immediately, she might not be able to meet and reunite, and still decisively chose to make a comeback...... The defection of the Red Sand Scorpion has long been regarded by her as the biggest regret in her life, and she has regretted it for most of her life. So much so that suddenly, the opportunity in front of her to meet the Red Sand Scorpion again, whether true or not, was a fatal temptation that she absolutely could not resist and refuse!
