Three poles in the sun.
Nobuhiko gradually woke up from his deep sleep.
Vaguely, he seemed to feel an inexplicable feeling of fullness in his right hand. The touch was like touching a warm water slurry bag in the winter.
There was also an itchy feeling on my face.
Nobuhiko opened his eyes.
Qinno didn't know when she had woken up. She was looking at him quietly with her head tilted, and she stretched out a finger to poke his cheek gently.
Nobuhiko gently opened a corner of the quilt and saw what his hands were doing that couldn't even sleep peacefully.
Too much!
Kotono blinked.
The two looked at each other.
In the end...Kotono was defeated and looked away with her cheeks burning.
"Should we... get up?" Qinno looked like a shy little daughter-in-law.
"Don't worry, sleep a little longer. I didn't get much sleep last night." Nobuhiko stretched out his hand and hugged Kotono into his arms.
Women can affect the speed of drawing the sword, right?
Kotono is so fragrant that you don’t have to pull it out.
Now that he has her, Nobuhiko feels that the hand holding the knife has more strength.
Kotono buried her head in Nobuhiko's chest.
after awhile.
Kotono suddenly thought of something and gently pushed Nobuhiko away: "No! You have to get up quickly."
"Why?" Nobuhiko looked at her doubtfully.
"I said last night that you were injured and I came to take care of you, but... if I don't get up now, Mito will definitely laugh at me!" Kotono said angrily.
"No, I feel like I had a good rest. Coming to this...is the best night of rest I've had in the past few years." Nobuhiko said with a smile.
Kotono sat up from the bed, and the quilt slipped from her body.
Under the sun, her body looked like a carefully carved work of art.
Viewed horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, with different heights near and far.
Nobuhiko also sat up.
"How is your injury? Why don't you rest for a while?"
Nobuhiko picked up his coat and put it on Kotono, covering up the bright spring light, "It's all gone."
"Didn't you see everything? And there are only two of us in the guest room near this courtyard." Kotono pointed to the half-open window on the right side of the room.
After being shy when she first got up, Kotono looked more natural now.
Nobuhiko turned his body slightly to block the direct sunlight from the window, "Even if the sun sees it... it won't work!"
Kotono's eyes widened slightly. Suddenly, she leaned over and pecked Nobuhiko on the lips, then pushed him down and whispered in his ear:
"Then we'll wait until the sun goes down."
"?"
****
noon.
Nobuhiko and Kotono got up.
The two didn't really wait until the sun went down.
I can't do it without Nobuhiko.
But Kotono, who wanted to ride on his head, was defeated.
Because Hashirama came to Nobuhiko himself to inform them that lunch time was up.
Nobuhiko came to the courtyard dressed neatly.
The two of them looked at the faint red mark on each other's neck and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
At lunch, we had a family dinner.
There are only Hashirama, Mito, Tobirama, Nobuhiko, Kotono, Senju Grand Elder and Third Elder, and Uzumaki Second Elder.
During the dinner, Hashirama and Nobuhiko chatted all over the place.
From the Warring States Period, the Ninja clan, and war, we talked about weapons, population, and peace, then we talked about friendship, love, and then we talked about forbidden arts.
Topics vary greatly, and there may be no correlation between the two topics.
As he drank more and more, Hashirama and Nobuhiko's voices became louder and louder.
Tobirama, who had been forced to do business, showed great interest when Nobuhiko talked about forbidden arts.
With the addition of Tobirama, the atmosphere became more lively.
As the three of them drank more and more and chatted more and more animatedly, the three elders who were drinking there because of their age also joined the battlefield.
"If you want to say that my Uzumaki clan...the sealing technique is unparalleled in the Warring States Period! Which ninja clan can...be compared to me?!" The second elder suddenly slammed the table.
"Bullshit! Our Hyuga clan's sealing skills are not bad either!"
"When it comes to combat power, my Senju is the strongest! Uchiha is no match at all!"
"My Thousand Hands clan is born with a strong physique, and none of you can match it."
"What's wrong with our Uzumaki clan?!"
"Stop fighting!" Tobirama, whose face turned red, suddenly grabbed Hashirama's wrist and said:
“If you want to say you have a strong physique, you have to look at my eldest brother!
Back then, he almost cut off his wrist with a knife, but Nobuhiko was almost healed before treatment! "
Hashirama's lips twitched when he heard his younger brother exposing his dark history.
"That's because my ninja sword is not sharp enough." Nobuhiko retorted.
"The Ninja Sword you are wearing now is the one I proposed to give you. I also participated in the design. It is definitely the top Ninja Sword in the Warring States Period. If you slash my brother again now, I promise you will be fine!" Tobirama was completely drunk. Holding Hashirama's hand, Nobuhiko would chop it off.
"?" Hashirama looked confused.
"I don't believe it! Try cutting it!" The second elder of Uzumaki also started to cheer.
"Quick! Cut Hashirama down quickly and let us see." The first elder and the third elder also followed suit.
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more ridiculous, Mito said angrily: "Okay! Stop making trouble!"
Although her voice was not loud and her tone was not harsh, Hashirama, Tobirama, and the second elder were all excited.
Everyone's drunkenness subsided a little.
"Sister-in-law, I'm just kidding." Tobirama smiled and let go of Hashirama's red wrist.
Hashirama also quickly apologized and said, "Yeah, don't be angry Mito, it's all a joke, it doesn't matter even if it's real."
"I'm not angry." Mito rolled his eyes at Hashirama. He just didn't want them to go too far. Did he still want to see blood at the family banquet?
Before, she valued Hashirama's emphasis on friendship, maturity and stability.
Now it seems that emphasis on friendship is true, but 'stability' is not necessarily so.
Seeing that Mito was able to kill the two brothers as soon as he married into the Senju clan, the second elder Uzumaki was certain.
However, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly sighed again.
"Hey~"
On the other side, the two elders of Senju also let out inaudible sighs.
The three of them looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Everyone is the same.
Nobuhiko on the side looked at this 'tracheitis' scene with a smile on his face.
"Hiss~"
Suddenly, Nobuhiko took a breath of cold air.
Kotono suddenly leaned close to his ear, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Nobuhiko shook his head repeatedly.
Only then did Kotono take her hand back from under the table.
It was a great meal for both host and guest.
In the evening, Hashirama even proposed to sleep with Nobuhiko and talk by candlelight.
But he was ruthlessly rejected.
...
the next day.
morning.
Kotono got up early and left the yard.
Nobuhiko, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, and then opened his white eyes.
"Come out, Chen Xiang."
As soon as Nobuhiko finished speaking, a pool of black fluid material emerged from the floor.
"What happened?"
Before he left the clan, he asked the Black Zetsu clan to monitor Masato Hyuga. Now that he is here, there is obviously something going on.
"Hyuuga Masato is walking in the clan, and there is news that you were seriously injured by Uchiha Madara. In addition, he is planning to set an ambush on your way back." Black Zetsu said in a deep voice.
Nobuhiko's face turned cold, "How about what I asked you to do?"
"It's been done. The dose is so small that it won't be detected, but it's still effective."
"Very good, good work."
"It's not hard to work for dad!"
"You should step back first."
"yes."
After Black Zetsu left, Nobuhiko sneered.
"Masato Hinata, since you are looking for death, then I will not be polite. The material delivered to your door..."
****
Two days later.
Nobuhiko, who has been with the Senju clan for four days, is finally ready to return to the clan.
"Nobuhiko, how about I take you back?" Hashirama looked reluctant.
"That's good!" Nobuhiko nodded with a smile.
Everyone who came to see him off was stunned.
Hashirama was also stunned. He certainly wasn't saying polite words, but he didn't expect Nobuhiko to agree.
"Then I'll go stay with the Hyuga clan for a few days and then come back! This way we can talk more." Hashirama said happily.
But his eyes were glanced at Mito aside.
Mito nodded slightly, "Go early and come back early. There are still many matters in the clan that need you to deal with."
"It's okay, you can leave these matters to Tobirama!" Hashirama smiled and waved his hand.
Tobirama's face darkened.
He also wants to go...
He wanted to discuss forbidden arts with Nobuhiko.
It turns out that there is someone who shares the same goals with him.
In the past, Tobirama only thanked Nobuhiko for saving his brother's life.
And now, he feels that he has made Nobuhiko his friend!
