Chapter 2542 Finalized

Latest website: "Already arrived?"

Hearing Qianye's sudden words, Metkai seemed to be a little unable to react. He glanced at Qianye subconsciously, then let out a sound of doubt, and finally turned his attention to the intersection leading to the cabin.

That is, near the sea of ​​flowers.

At this time, two figures appeared in his eyes, which were his disciples, Hyuga Neji and Tenten.

"Ah! Here we are..."

However, when he saw his two disciples, Metkai still seemed a little unable to react, and said in a low voice.

Well……

Although I agreed, what should I do next?

At this time, looking at Tenten and Hyuga Neji who also seemed to have some suspicious expressions on their faces in front of them, Chiba felt a little confused in her heart.

Yes, at this moment, unlike Metkai who was still unable to react, Chiba was in trouble.

And the reason for the difficulty is as simple as ever.

At this time, looking at Tenten and Hyuga Neji approaching, Chiba's old habit of being unsociable happened again after nearly twenty years.

Originally, or rather, before seeing Hyuga Neji and Tenten, he felt that his old habit of being withdrawn, unsociable, and ignorant of others that he had accumulated over the past two lifetimes had been cured by the bond between Kushina, Hirohiko, and Yukina.

At least, during that period, although he was still a little unfamiliar, he gradually began to adapt to being surrounded by friends, being trusted by others, and being consciously approached by others.

It can be said that during that time, he became more and more comfortable with ordinary interpersonal interactions.

There was even a time when he felt that he had escaped the shadow of being withdrawn and unsociable for more than twenty years.

He even confirmed it secretly before.

I quietly verified it based on the scene where I drank with Asuma, Kakashi and Metkai in front of me.

Prove that during this period of time, there is no gap between me and Konoha Village due to staying in the dark world for a long time.

I also made sure that there was no problem in my interactions with others and that I had not regressed to the past.

After all, he has now taken over most of the power in Konoha, and even if he has power, he still has to communicate.

Although communication from above to the bottom is more or less relaxed, subordinates should not be allowed to feel too dissatisfied.

Communication is also necessary political wisdom.

Before that, he had performed well, had no communication problems at all, and could even show the generous smile of a subordinate of his size.

It can be said that when he agreed to open the small stove just now, his confidence was overwhelming.

There are various signs that after so many years alone, he has not only not deteriorated in communication, but has even made progress.

And thinking about it, after all these years, he was not alone most of the time. He was still accompanied by No. 14 and No. 15.

However, at this moment, he realized that he was too conceited!

How can communication be such a simple thing!

This was an illness that Kushina, Hirohiko and Yukina had worked so hard to stabilize back then. How could it be something that could be overcome so easily?

too naive!

He thinks things are too simple!

It was simply a carelessness that could put him on the pillar of shame!

he,

Can't handle children!

Especially a child with an unusual psychology!

For example, the current Hyuga Neji, and Tenten.

At this moment, Chiba's mind was completely blank, and he had no idea what to say or what to do.

I even regretted agreeing to open a small stove for Metkai just now.

In fact, they even regretted allowing Asuma and Kakashi to give their team a small boost.

Indeed, his communicative skills have not deteriorated.

Even, there is some progress.

Moreover, he also has experience in dealing with children, and he has a lot of experience.

However, at that time, he was from the perspective of a child himself, but not from the perspective of an elder now.

Moreover, the most uncomfortable thing was that when he saw Hinata Neji and Tenten walking closer and closer in front of him, his increasingly clear faces always made him involuntarily associate them with those in the original work.

For a moment, he really had no idea at all.

Moreover, even if he is still standing from the perspective of a child, there is no good way to persuade him.

After all, among the people he had the most contact with back then, none of them were in a situation like Hyuga Neji.

Yukina, who was in the closest situation to Hyuga Neji, actually didn't let him worry about it. What he was worried about was how to unlock the caged bird and cure Yukina's blindness. Yukina didn't let him worry about psychological problems. question.

It should be said that Xuena has never had any negative emotions due to her situation. She has always been so strong, so strong that it almost makes people feel stronger.

Moreover, every time Chiba felt that this girl needed his protection, she would always do something that surprised him.

Looking back now, this girl seems to have always been so powerful. It is no wonder that the defense force is obedient to her, and the captain of the defense force has pampered her as his successor.

When Hirohiko lost Nao, although Chiba was also very worried, he was almost always cautious, fearing that his slightest mistake would turn Hirohiko into a black man.

However, in fact, apart from the sudden madness when he lost Nao, Hirohiko didn't let him worry too much. He also showed very strong afterwards and even broke the Uchiha clan's paranoid bloodline and ending.

Chiba did not see how Hongyan died.

However, Chiba saw the smile on the corner of Hirohiko's mouth that seemed to be the relief of Uchiha Nobuhiko's greatest irony.

And based on his understanding of Hirohiko, Hirohiko who showed this smile had surpassed Uchiha Nobuhiko before his death.

Even beyond the fate of the Uchiha clan, the deepest and most twisted bloodline of love and hatred that has been passed down for thousands of years seems to be passed down together with the power of the Six Paths.

Hong Yan finally chose to forgive.

In other words, he chose the love Nao gave him instead of the hatred caused by Nao.

At first, Chiba actually didn't understand why Hongyan showed such a smile in the end, that kind of satisfied and detached smile.

Even for a long time, he thought that Hong Yan died of an illusion.

Later, while drifting on the sea, accompanied by No. 14 and No. 15, when he had nothing to do, these memories would reappear again, and those scenes were clearly engraved in his mind.

However, because of the company of No. 14 and No. 15, and the cruel memory of that nightmare space, he will not go crazy because of repeated memories.

You can recall this period relatively calmly.

Or learn from the experience of failure, or recall the deep-rooted sorrow, to increase his motivation to move forward, to get rid of the motivation to drift at sea, or to recall the good things they gave him... Gradually, in the constant recollection, he finally became Understood.

Whether it was Yukina or Hirohiko, they all surpassed themselves in the end.

Beyond this ninja world, he also surpassed Chiba himself.

Yes, Yukina and Hirohiko surpassed him after all.

It was also the realization that their death was not so painful that gave him a lot of comfort at that time.

In other words, among the children he had the most contact with, there was no typical one like Hyuga Neji.

However, Hyuga Neji has mastered Yukina's improved version of Soft Fist.

He had to seize the time to untie his knot, even if it was just to keep him by his side to prevent him from being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

Um……

To be precise, lest he be taken advantage of by Nobuhiko Uchiha.

This world is not the original work. The existence of Uchiha Nobuhiko, his existence, in fact, is no longer the original work.

The timing of the Kannabi Bridge was advanced more than ten years ago, but he has not forgotten it yet.

If he had thought about the next thing according to the original work and considered the next progress of the situation, I am afraid that he would have died in the dark world long ago.

So, even if his mind is blank now and he still has a little regret, there is nothing he can do.

Even if you don’t know how to deal with it, you still have to bite the bullet and start dealing with it.

well……

If I had known better, I should have spent more time with Itachi.

Thinking of this, Qianye couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind.

At this moment, he couldn't help but regret a little, regretting that he didn't teach Itachi properly. Although Itachi was also a child who didn't need to worry about, even the 4-year-old Hokage's mind might have surpassed him as a time traveler in some places. .

If only he had some experience in teaching children, he would not be in this dilemma of not knowing where to start and his mind going blank.

Even though, that little child didn't actually need any teaching from him.

Even if he gave that little man everything he needed to teach, it was the correct way to teach that type of genius.

A genius like Itachi only needs to be taught the basics. As for more advanced things, he is destined to awaken the Sharingan. However, the Uchiha clan's best talent and greatest reliance, the Sharingan, cannot be taught to him. Even if you don’t know how to teach, someone will naturally teach Itachi.

There's really only so much he can do.

"Then, the next step is up to you. Thank you! Chiba!"

And at this moment, when Qianye started to think about little Itachi, a hand suddenly slapped on his shoulder.

A word of thanks came later.

Then, Chiba felt his shoulders go empty. When he subconsciously turned his head to look, Metkai beside him had disappeared.

This guy!

Suddenly, the corners of Chiba's mouth twitched again.

Yes, at this time, when Chiba's mind was blank, the instigator next to him...

Ran!

For fear that he would regret it...

Ran!

And he is worthy of being a person who has reached the level of physical skills that can normalize the six doors, and can also open the seventh door for fierce fighting and still stand up. This guy was so fast that he didn't notice or see it at all. Even he Wherever he ran, Qianye didn't even see him.

At this moment, Chiba was almost stunned and didn't know how to react.

"Kai...teacher?"

At this time, like Chiba, Tiantian, who was about to raise his hand to say hello, also looked dumbfounded. Although the words came out according to inertia, in the end, he was already in a state of silence.

It was full of surprises and surprises.

"call--!"

Then, the breeze blew by, and silence fell quietly among the raised strands of clothes and hair.

The three of them were speechless as they looked at the place where Metkai disappeared.

Then, silence gradually spread.

The three of them began to look at each other with almost visible embarrassment, and slowly moved away.

Chiba's mind was originally blank and he didn't know how to deal with it. At this moment, Metkai's sudden move made Chiba even more blank.

Although his eyes turned to the two of them subconsciously, they were in a completely dazed state, and there was no way they could speak.

And Tiantian and Hyuga Neji were suddenly notified to gather here today. They didn't know what was going on at first, and they were about to ask, but their teacher ran away as if running for his life, and they also looked confused. .

Naturally, there will be no words.

Ever since, the three of them stared at each other in confusion.

…

"despair!"

At the same time, just as the three of them started to look for goods, Metkai, who had run away over there, was already standing at an inconspicuous small tree in the woods quite far away from the Japanese-style cabin. on the branches.

At this moment, Metkai, who knew that he was out of Chiba's sight, slowly turned back and glanced in the direction of the Japanese-style cabin, but there was a heavy look on his face.

Chiba...

What have you experienced during this period of time to be able to show such a look?

At this time, he felt a little sad for some reason, and at the same time, a question flashed across his mind.

In his mind, the calm smile Qianye showed just now flashed across his mind.

This is a kind of smile that has seen through something, and the years have passed quietly.

However, for some reason, it made him feel slightly sour.

After all, he had to consider his disciple's business of opening a small stove just now, so this sour feeling was also suppressed.

Now that the matter of opening Xiaozao was settled, the smile and the sour feeling in his heart became more and more clear, and finally reached the point where he could not ignore it.

For him, Chiba has always been an existence that he can't match. Even Kakashi, he now feels like he has caught up.

But only Chiba, he always felt that it was impossible to defeat him no matter what.

However, what he is most concerned about now is not this invincible feeling, but the meaning behind Chiba's smile.

That kind of peaceful smile after seeing something through the years.

It made him feel like he was no longer in the same world as Chiba.

If the previous feeling of never being able to defeat was related to strength, then the current feeling of not being in the same world is the difference in spiritual heights.

This sense of gap suddenly made him a little uneasy.

Chiba, are you planning something again?

And in this uneasiness, at this time, he couldn't help but have such a thought flash in his mind.
