It doesn't matter, Lord Kazekage will make a move

Chapter 44 Family
Tonight, it is raining in Shayin Village.

This sight, which is very common in other places, is extremely rare for people living in this land.

The dirt road was already muddy, and with the rushing caravan driving day and night during this period, the rain made the dilapidated road a 'trap'.

Outsiders frowned and avoided seeing it, while local children squatted on the ground, curiously playing with the wet mud.

"What a terrible weather~"

Chiyo and Ebino sat in the corridor of the courtyard, watching the rainwater hit the originally calm pool.

She held a cup of hot tea in her withered palm, and the quaint teacup contained light green tea soup. The dense mist was particularly obvious in this gloomy weather.

"Sister, everyone in the tribe is dissatisfied with the decision of the elders."

"What do you think?"

Ebizo didn't answer right away, but was silent for a moment, before he spoke: "I have no objection to being punished, but Kotaro is enough to punish one person. The tribe has paid so much for the village, but it was punished because of one person."

Ebino didn't continue to say the following words, but Chiyo didn't understand what he meant.

"Is that so, Ebino, do you still remember the cemetery in the village?"

Hai Laozang didn't know why his sister suddenly brought up this irrelevant topic, but he still replied respectfully:

"Of course I remember, we built it with our own hands. The conditions were not good at that time, the adults went out to fight, and we children stayed in the village. It’s incomparable to other villages.”

Hai Laozang raised his head, his eyes full of nostalgia.

"Yeah~ At that time, there was nothing but passion. But now, the residences of the elders are full of electric circuits at worst, bright day and night, green grass, and even compare beautiful concubines gems with each other, but Why hasn't anyone mentioned fixing up the cemetery?"

"Even the blood and bravery that was only there at that time are gone?"

Chiyo raised her head and looked towards the cemetery. Countless towering houses blocked her view, but she seemed to see something: "I went there a while ago, and there is a rough cross made of stone stuck in a small dirt bag. , a lot of people don’t even have names, they’re just forgotten~”

"Sister, I'm sorry, I will be there tomorrow."

Before Hai Lao finished speaking, Chiyo waved his hand: "I didn't mean to accuse you, in fact, I forgot too. I have no right to accuse you. Do you remember Brother Keen?"

Hai Laozang frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said uncertainly, "Is it the big brother who loved to laugh when he was young?"

Chiyo nodded: "That's right~ Without him, one of my arms would have been cut off by the robbers, and I would have no chance to become a medical ninja in the future. He was the first batch of warriors to enter the cemetery, but I... I found Nowhere is he."

After she finished speaking, she sighed:
"I have always felt that I have paid a lot for Hidden Sand Village, and I have made Hidden Sand Village better. I despise those fat pigs with vegetarian meals, and those who rely on the tribe to show off their power. Now that I think about it, what is so good about the Chidai tribe? "

Ebino seemed to understand what Chiyo was going to say next, and his expression was a little tangled.

"Brother~ My family is only you now. Um... only you are by my side now, and I only care about the few people around me. If the tribe becomes like those people, then to me, it is no different from a stranger ,do you understand?"

Hai Laozang closed his eyes and sighed: "I understand, sister."

He knew what his sister meant by saying this to him, but he didn't resist.

My sister's family is only me, so why not me?

At this time, a waiter respectfully walked not far away: "Master Chiyo, Hoshino Mu asks to see you."

"not see."

"Yes."

Looking at the waiter's back, Hai Laozang suddenly said, "Be more rude."

The waiter froze for a moment, nodded in agreement.

After the waiter left, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Sister, let's go to the cemetery tomorrow. I remember that Big Brother Ke En was buried about ten steps away from the wall. I just don't know that my old legs are still different from my gait when I was a child."

"It's okay, your intelligence has not changed."

"."

----

boom--!
Looking at the violently closed door, Hoshino Mu held an umbrella, his eyes were calm without any surprise.

His small actions may or may not be hidden from Chiyo, but the results are all acceptable to him, or tolerable.

"Then don't bother."

Hoshino Mu bowed deeply towards the gate, turned and left.

"Hoshino Mu and Chiyo broke up? Are you sure?"

Orange Juro looked at Anbe who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, and asked eagerly.

"The subordinates only saw that Chiyo refused Hoshino Maki's visit."

Orange Juro stroked his chin, his eyes flickering with thought.

If he followed his past habits, he would give an unforgettable education to this person who once contradicted him and prevented him from stepping down.

But now, after so many things, especially Hoshino Mu's exchange of those captives for so many benefits made him realize that people can be so useful.

Isn't that what makes people more useful?

Thinking about it from another angle, if you are an incompetent mediocrity, how can you let yourself hold grudges?
There is nothing more pleasurable than stabbing Chiyo with Chiyo's knife.

He suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked, "Did you find anyone else when you were watching?"

"Youta's subordinates also appeared near Chiyofu."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

"My lord, you only let me monitor Hoshino Maki."

Orange Juro glared at him, pointing at the other party, speechless for a long time.

Now, he firmly believes that what he needs most is talent.

"Go and call Hoshino Mu for me."

Seeing the back of the other party pushing the door open, he thought for a while and then ordered: "Keep it private, don't let others see it."

After his subordinates left, Orange Juro sat in his seat, thinking about what to say next.

Before I thought about it for a minute, I saw that my subordinates were already kneeling at the door.

"My lord, Hoshino Mu brought it here."

"So fast?!"

This speed, you use the flying thunder god to ask for it?

"My lord, when I went out, I found that he was already standing at the door of the mansion."

"...bring him in."

Not long after, Hoshino Mu walked in.

"Master Orange Juro."

Standing at the door, after Hoshino Mu greeted him, the two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.

This was the first time the two met alone, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and in the end it was Hoshino Mu who spoke first:
"Won't your lord invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Orange Juro didn't speak, but raised his hand to the side of the seat.

"Thank you."

Hoshino Mu sat down and looked at the decoration of the room.

The traditional Japanese style that is rarely seen in Shayin Village, tatami mats, sliding grille doors, mainly plain colors, and there are not many decorations.

He is not keen on enjoying, this is Hoshino Maki's first impression.

The second impression is old-fashioned.

All the items in the house are arranged according to certain rules, and there are almost no new items, and even the electrical appliances are only electric lights.

Hoshino Maki felt that this visit might take a lot of effort.
