【Meow!】
Hina and Tian Huo looked at each other with complicated expressions, and then disappeared into the room with a swish.
Because Grandma Cat's decision is related to the future direction of the entire empty area, they will choose to leave and go to the outside to guard against ears in the partition wall.
You know, the fundamental reason why the Kong District can exist on this land for a long time is because of the blessing of Grandma Cat.
Although the elderly mother-in-law may not have very strong direct combat ability, after a period of accumulation, she also has another weapon that is exclusive to adults:
Connections!
It is not only limited to large-scale ninja villages such as Kumogakure and Konoha at the official level, but also some wealthy families that have flourished since the Warring States Period also maintain certain cooperative relationships with them.
It is this intricate personal relationship that maintains the long-term stability of the Kong District.
Of course, such stability based on strength has another major prerequisite: that is, oneself maintains a neutral attitude!
We will never favor any party.
He will not choose to be loyal to any one force.
As long as they pay equal benefits, every guest who comes can get the information or weapons they want from here.
But just today, Granny Cat personally broke the rules she had set.
[As long as you agree to protect Xiaohuan,]
[Then, the empty zone will become a unique boost. 】
If such a message is passed on, then this desolate no man's land will inevitably be trampled by all major forces.
【intelligence,】
【arms,】
【Ninja cat. 】
All three are exciting resources! !
"Mother-in-law."
After hearing such words, Xiaohuan couldn't help but call out, and there was a touch of sadness on her lovely cheeks.
She couldn't understand the deeper meaning of her mother-in-law's words.
This is to use the entire empty area in exchange for a stable future.
However, Grandma Cat did not pay attention to her precious granddaughter's call as usual.
He just waited for the young man's response with a calm look and a solemn expression. Those weather-beaten eyes seemed to be able to see through all the lies in the world.
【No one can deceive her! 】
[Especially, when it comes to matters involving Xiaohuan! 】
After a short period of thinking, Huang had an answer.
"Xiaohuan is Xianglin's friend."
"Kora is an ally that Uchiha has formed for generations."
"Even if there is no such agreement, if Xiaohuan encounters trouble in the future, I will do my best to help."
He didn't explicitly ask for help in the empty zone.
In addition to the reasons mentioned above, Grandma Cat's gesture of "caring for the orphan" also moved her.
After all, in this life, what Huang cherishes most is family affection.
Such an answer made Grandma Cat's expression sluggish, and an inexplicable emotion roared deep in her heart.
He picked up the cigarette rod that had been placed aside, and a thick cloud of smoke slowly rose from it.
No one knows the nature of intrigue in the ninja world better than bystanders like her.
Perhaps it is not accurate to call him a bystander.
Because, although the Kongku is a neutral stronghold, it does not belong to any ninja village.
But in order to maintain her own existence and to give the ninja cats behind her a place to live, Granny Cat, who has a lot of information about the ninja village, is also a real participant in the game.
Interest is the essence of this world.
That's why she chose to exchange such conditions for the boy's promise.
And what he can be sure of is that whether it is Sarutobi Hiruzen of Konoha or Ai of Kumogakure Village, when faced with such conditions, they will not pretend to refuse, and they will definitely agree!
But precisely because of this,
It is precisely because of this kind of promise that is too easy to obtain that it makes it more hesitant and constantly waiting and looking for a better entruster.
Because what Granny Cat wants to find for Xiaohuan is not a simple shelter, but a living environment where Xiaohuan can become a true companion and a family member.
Now, she waited.
The boy in front of him had surprised himself enough in just two years.
Moreover, the information that can be obtained through its own intelligence network and the few words revealed by the person at Cat Castle is:
There is a strong force behind the opponent.
At least it's comparable to a regular ninja village!
Grandma Cat, who initially came to this conclusion, didn't believe it. After all, the only one who could give Uchiha Ara full help was the Uchiha family, but this family had fallen into irreversible decline in that incident.
Now, in this cruel world, no one would directly help this young man without any reason.
Even though he had a long friendship with the Uchiha clan, he initially treated him as a guest and did not provide excessive help.
However, with the news of the incident on the eastern border, the capture of Kisame Inigangaki, and the ban on the Konoha Ninja Village became useless.
Let her begin to gradually recognize this power.
Because it is absolutely impossible for one person to accomplish these things.
Behind Uchiha Ara, there must be some, a group of people who help, support, and follow him.
Just like the Uzumaki girl in the field of vision, Xiang Rin.
"So what you're saying is that you don't appreciate the power of the sky zone?"
After a moment of silence, Granny Cat slowly spoke out.
The boy's answer not only made her feel that her choice was right, but also made her feel uneasy, and the light in her eyes flickered because of this.
Gratitude is naturally the most important when it comes to giving someone timely assistance.
The icing on the cake after the fact will always be the icing on the cake, and this is what the empty area means to the other five ninja villages.
Grandma Mao has no regrets about not raising the stakes when they first met, or even drawing a line a year ago.
After all, no businessman would risk everything on a young man's future, not to mention that this young man has many potentially powerful enemies.
What she regretted was that her eyesight seemed to be declining.
The other party's growth, the other party's character, and the other party's attitude are all seen in his eyes, but he always maintains an uncertain attitude, pushing things like cooperation back and forth.
It was only today that she woke up from a dream and wanted to push everything forward.
But,
Such assistance does not seem to be a big temptation for the former.
[Intelligence], that guy Nekomata is collecting it.
[Arms], the arms dealer Oya Chengyan seems to have a certain connection with it.
[Ninja Cat], in terms of combat power, is still inferior to human ninjas.
Pieces of information about the boy were pieced together and gathered in his sea of consciousness.
Every piece of value belonging to the empty area was also easily banned and crossed out here.
Uchiha Ara,
This boy is growing up so fast!
In the end, Grandma Cat could only come to such a complicated conclusion:
The boy who was once demarcated by him has become a being that is difficult to grasp even in the air.
But for Xiaohuan,
She is willing to let go.
Grandma Cat put down the cigarette rod in her hand again, and the look on her face became more solemn.
But at this moment, Huang had an answer.
"no."
"As I said just now, Kongku has been on good terms with Uchiha for generations."
"It's just that since my mother-in-law wants to hand over Kongqu to Xiaohuan, then Xiaohuan should naturally decide on Kongqu's future choices."
He naturally wants the help in the empty zone.
Grandma Cat's information network, high-quality customized ninja tools, and well-trained ninja cats, these are all very precious assets.
But if it is such a straightforward transaction, Huang will feel a sense of discomfort.
This feeling is really strange,
Obviously he is the kind of person who follows the principles of giving, repaying, and equal exchange, but now he is hesitating here.
It was probably the family affection between Grandma Mao and Xiao Huan that made her feel relaxed.
"Besides, Xiaohuan is still very powerful. Mother-in-law doesn't need to worry. Maybe Xianglin will need her help in the future."
Huang said in a serious tone.
Such words not only caused the owner of this stronghold to fall into a brief silence, but also made the 'Kitten Girl' on the side look slightly sideways.
Previously he was saying that he was too weak to be attacked, but now he is saying that he is very powerful.
Is this the rhythm of first pulling the cat's tail and then giving it to a small fish?
Accuse!
But there is a point, this feeling of being noticed by others is really not bad.
The mother-in-law wants to protect herself through outsiders, but why doesn't she want to prove herself through her own strength?
[Wait and see, bad guys,]
[I will definitely protect the empty area! ! 】
Xiao Huan unconsciously curled up his hands into fists.
"If that's your answer, that's fine."
Grandma Cat put down her thoughts and uneasiness.
The boy in front of him is different, so letting nature take its course may be the best choice.
"You came to Kongzhong for other reasons, right?"
"intelligence?"
"No, you should also have your own intelligence network."
"So, it's a ninja tool?"
Grandma Cat, who returned to normal, instantly understood Huang's intention.
As for using dried persimmon Kisame as a way to show off, she had never thought about it, because it was not necessary for the young man in front of her.
"yes."
"I need to customize a batch of new ninja tools for the tribe, from kunai and shuriken to katana and ribs."
Although ninja tools can be purchased at Oya Castle En, the standard ninja tools are mostly used by adults and are not suitable for the younger generation to practice.
In actual combat, the impact of a handy ninja tool on the user cannot be underestimated.
If he hadn't been accustomed to using the horizontal sword, he would have chosen one of the seven ninja swords in Kirigakure Village as his weapon.
"Well, I understand."
"Xiaohuan, go with Huang Yi and write down the required quantities and specifications."
Grandma Cat nodded slightly, and at the same time, she was also promoting the relationship between her granddaughter and the boy without leaving any trace.
Since the other party has also said that he will let Xiaohuan make his own decisions in the future, then there is no problem in building friendship and tacit understanding from now on, right?
What's more, the age of the two children is not much different.
If only...
After all, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
Thinking of this, Granny Cat picked up the cigarette rod again, and the ripples in her eyes completely subsided.
"Yes, mother-in-law."
Xiaohuan didn't think much about this and responded crisply immediately.
"Well, that's troublesome, let's go together."
Seeing that Xiaohuan had no objection, Araya naturally had no objections.
But when he turned around and pushed open the half-open door, a tall girl slowly appeared in his sight.
The girl has long bright red hair that almost reaches her ankles, her soft cheeks are fair and clean, and her dark eyes reveal a hint of panic.
She seemed to have heard something she shouldn't have heard just now.
Because in the final analysis, I am just a passerby in this stronghold, an outsider who should leave on his own after teaching Xianglin [Vajra Blockade] according to the agreement.
She wanted to go in early,
But after seeing Xianglin's desperate attitude for the boy, she stopped outside again.
Such a situation should not be destroyed.
later,
Later came the time period involving the interaction between the two forces.
At that time, she had missed the best time to go in and could only stand outside the door at a loss.
During this period, two ninja cats stayed out, but the two little guys just looked at me and hurried past without making any special movements. Perhaps it was because they had met several times in the stronghold. Bar.
"me........"
Honoka hesitated in her words, as if she wanted to explain something.
But looking at the strange yet familiar boy in front of him, everything seemed less important.
so,
"The Sharingan has the ability to change memory, right?"
With such a nonsensical opening sentence, the girl's heart seemed to become more determined.
"Just now, I heard something I shouldn't have heard."
【I've arrived a long time ago. 】
"I also taught Xiang Rin the secret techniques of the Uzumaki clan. Her qualifications are very good."
【Better than me. 】
"Then, please erase my memory from the moment we met."
【You may have forgotten my name. 】
"Then I'll leave."
[Anyway, just a passerby. 】
After putting all her worries aside, Honoka breathed a sigh of relief.
it's over.
Her unrequited love has only a beginning, but no process or ending.
"Master Huang, please don't, don't let..."
After listening to the girl's monologue, the expression on Xianglin's face changed instantly. She suddenly pulled the boy's arm and spoke hurriedly, as if she wanted him to leave the former behind.
"Xianglin, this is my choice."
However, before the girl of the same clan could finish speaking, Honoka immediately interrupted her.
"That's it,"
"Have you figured out where you are going after that?"
Huang replied softly.
Neither the words nor the facial expressions showed any special emotion.
There is no retention or reluctance.
After all, this was the agreement in the past. After he taught Xiang Lin the [Vajra Blockade], he could stay or go as he pleased.
"Where?"
Such rhetorical questions instantly made the girl a little dull, and her muttering to herself was filled with a trace of confusion and sadness.
She had thought about saying goodbye, but she had not thought about where to go from now on.
The country of the sea?
Or the homeland of the Country of Whirlpool?
Like duckweed, I have nowhere to go.
"If you haven't decided yet, you can stay."
"This will always be your home."
"Also, everyone is special, Xianglin is special, Xiaohuan is special, and you are no exception..."
"Honoka."
What broke the sadness in the girl's heart was the man's voice.
And he,
Still remember my name.
