In the fruit shop on Konoha East Street, Bai Yu, Uchiha Maki, and Hinata Hideto were leisurely carrying fruits.
The three of them made an appointment to buy some fruit and go to the hospital to visit Oshima Shuichi.
Yesterday, Bai Yu went to see the Third Generation, and was informed that Class 12 would be given a long vacation, and then their teams would be rearranged. The guiding jounin would definitely have to be changed.
Despite this, the friendship between the original Class 12 and Shuichi Oshima still exists.
During this period of time, the team members have gotten along well with each other. As a mentor, Shuichi Oshima treats them well.
Especially after experiencing a life-and-death crisis together this time, the atmosphere in Class 12 is more harmonious. It would be perfect if Shuichi Oshima was not injured.
"Teacher Shuichi seems to like eating grapes, buy him more grapes, and this..."
Hideto Hyuuga rarely spoke more.
"Okay." Bai Yu nodded, and he and Uchiha Chiho picked out good ones.
At this time, a middle-aged man came forward. He was the owner of the fruit shop. He held a fruit basket in his hand and asked, "Excuse me, is your teacher Shuichi Oshima?"
"Yes." Bai Yu responded.
"Hide-sama, Sakumo-sama, and the others smashed Sunagakure's conspiracy together. Now that he is injured, we are all worried." The boss stuffed the fruit basket into Bai Yu's arms, "This is a little bit of my heart."
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
"Please accept it and express my condolences to Mr. Xiuyi on my behalf."
"Okay then, I will tell Mr. Xiuyi." Bai Yu saw that the other party had a firm attitude, so he did not refuse.
"And these!"
The boss stuffed other fruits into the fruit basket. When it could no longer be stuffed, he took out a new fruit basket and handed it to Uchiha Chiho.
"Uncle, that's enough. If there are too many, the teacher won't be able to finish them." Bai Yu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Thanks to you for protecting Konoha, ordinary people like us can live such a stable life. Compared to the ninjas who shed blood and fight, there is only so much I can do. I hope you don't dislike it." The boss said in a sincere tone.
"Okay then, I'll thank you uncle on behalf of Teacher Xiuyi." Bai Yu said with a smile.
"Thank you." Chiho Uchiha and Hideto Hyuga also expressed their gratitude.
At this time, the smile on the boss's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became a little unnatural.
Bai Yu and Hinata Hideto were both stunned, and followed the boss's gaze to look at Uchiha Chiho.
Bai Yu: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Hyuuga Hideto: Σ(°△°|||)︴
Uchiha Chiho was seen lowering her head slightly, the smile on her face was a bit "sinister", and the provocation was mocking.
Hinata Hideo and Bai Yu looked at each other, and they both came to Uchiha Chiho at the same time, blocking her figure.
"Well, that boss, you misunderstood. In fact, she..." Bai Yu tried to explain.
"I know that what I have done is very insignificant. You should go and visit Mr. Xiuyi." The boss smiled and expressed his understanding, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.
You don't understand at all!
Seeing the boss turn around and leave, Bai Yu looked helplessly at Uchiha Chiho.
Chiho Uchiha saw Shiro Yu and Hideto Hyuga looking strange, and she was also confused. She blinked her beautiful big eyes, and her eyes were full of doubts, as if she didn't understand why the boss's attitude suddenly changed so much.
"Let's go first."
On the way out, Bai Yu handed the fruit basket to Hideto Hyuga.
On the way to the hospital, Bai Yu suddenly stopped.
Chiho Uchiha and Hideto Hyuga also stopped.
Bai Yu suddenly said: "Chiho, I want to ask you something."
"What?"
"When do you usually laugh?"
"..." Uchiha Chiho looked confused, "Maybe... it's when I'm happy."
Hearing her uncertain tone, Hideto Hinata seemed to suddenly understand something and asked, "Then when do you think it's time to laugh?"
"When expressing friendship." Uchiha Chiho's answer was very definite this time.
"So you just showed your friendliness to the boss, so now you can smile again and show me." Bai Yu twitched the corner of his mouth.
"..." Although she was a little confused, Uchiha Chiho still showed a "friendly" smile obediently.
However, in the eyes of Bai Yu and Hideto Hyuga, her expression was too unbeatable - a sinister smile with mockery in the provocation.
Case solved!
Bai Yu finally understood why Sarutobi Keita said before that Uchiha Chiho was ostracized by the Uchiha clan.
Bai Yu wasn't sure whether it was because she was an outsider.
But it's a miracle that I can smile like this without getting beaten.
"?" Hyuuga Yingren was also confused.
He had a poor relationship with his former teammate and Uchiha Chiho, mainly because when they first met, she showed the same smile as before, rarely spoke at all, and was full of the arrogance of a genius.
So she wasn't being sarcastic, but was being friendly? ? ?
There are people who don’t even know how to laugh?
Even the fake smile isn’t that outrageous!
"Chiho, have you ever looked in the mirror and seen yourself smiling?" Bai Yu asked.
Uchiha Chiho nodded: "I just practiced in front of the mirror, what's wrong?"
"..."
"..."
"Chiho, promise me you won't smile like that when you express friendship in the future, okay?" Bai Yu said solemnly. He was afraid that when he met the new leader Jonin, Uchiha Chiho would express friendship like this.
Chiho Uchiha asked seriously: "If I don't smile, will others think I am unfriendly and difficult to get along with?"
"Others will think you are difficult to get along with only if you laugh!" Even Hideto couldn't help complaining.
"Chiho, look at how I smile when I express my friendship." Bai Yu reminded, giving a demonstration to Uchiha Chiho.
I saw a warm smile on Bai Yu's handsome face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing the eight upper teeth, giving people a sunny and cheerful feeling.
"Is that so?" Uchiha Chiho felt that Bai Yu's smile was a bit fake, but she still smiled like him.
However, in Bai Yu's view, her smile was not much different from before.
On her pretty face, the smile was sarcastic, and she really deserved a beating!
"Control your facial muscles, like this."
Bai Yu looked at Uchiha Chiho's stiff look, stretched out his hands and gently pinched her cheeks, and then slowly lifted them upwards.
Then, he said to his side:
"Yingren, help me take out the small mirror from the medical bag and show it to her."
However, Hideto Hyuga took a few steps back holding the fruit basket.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Bai Yu looked at him doubtfully, and suddenly his body stiffened.
There is murderous intent!
Bai Yu turned around and looked——
Kushina, who was wearing an orange top, was slowly walking towards this side, with bulging veins on her forehead.
"Kushina, don't get me wrong, I'm teaching her..." Bai Yu quickly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.
"What's the misunderstanding? It seems that you get along well with your companions - I mean, huh?"
Kushina had a kind smile on her face.
However, you can't hide the look in someone's eyes.
Suddenly, Kushina's expression froze, her eyes suddenly widened, her red hair rolled up automatically, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Bai Yu.
Bai Yu was stunned, glanced at Uchiha Chiho, reacted immediately, hugged Kushina's waist, and said hurriedly: "Kushina, don't be impulsive, it's a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
"This sneaky cat actually provoked me to beat her up! Don't stop me." Kushina was furious, but Bai Yu hugged her tightly.
Uchiha Chiho still maintained a "friendly" smile on her face.
Bai Yu shouted to Uchiha Chiho:
"Please stop laughing!"
