Chapter 233 The Best Mother in the World

"With the change of Hokage, there are a lot of changes in the Anbu. I'm sorry that I only found time to see you now." Takeuchi Mirei slurped her ramen and spoke very clearly.

"It's okay, I'm busy with other things."

Haruko poked the sluggish ramen in her bowl with her chopsticks to ease her nervousness.

This was the first time she had spent time with her young mother after regaining her memory. Even though they were the same person, Haruko somehow felt at a loss as to how to face her.

Noticing her nervousness, Takeuchi Mirei was a little surprised, but she didn't point it out. She teased her, "It's rare that someone as lazy as you is still busy."

"…The past is the past. I am mature now."

Haruko once again scolded herself in her heart for being lazy in the third round, her face slightly red, and she defended herself verbally.

"Oh~"

As soon as she heard it, she knew that Takeuchi Mirei didn't believe it. Haruko suppressed the heat on her face and glanced at her out of the corner of her eye.

Young mothers and future mothers look very different and get along very differently.

The future mother has a gentle and lively personality, with long, gentle hair. She looks at her with eyes that are filled with the greatest love. Sometimes she behaves childishly, but she is undoubtedly a great mother.

But now the young mother, even with the same features, exudes a fierceness for no reason, as if she is disguising herself with a calm appearance.

Haruko knew that from the first moment they met, Takeuchi Mirei didn't take her seriously.

This kind of arrogance is not arrogance of character, but indifference to the existence of life after experiencing countless blood. He is suspicious of everyone who approaches him and is always ready to become a sword to kill enemies for Konoha.

Perhaps it is because they have been in the Anbu for many years, whether they like it or not, they have to give up useless sympathy, put on masks and become tools of killing.

Haruko didn't know much about her mother's life in the Anbu, and her future mother had never mentioned it to her.

Looking back now, it seems like he doesn't want to mention this experience.

Mom is in the Anbu... is it painful?

"Mom...ah, cough." Qingzi swallowed the familiar name with difficulty, and laughed under her inquiring gaze, "How is Sister Meiling doing recently? Have you encountered any interesting things?"

"interesting?"

Mirei Takeuchi slurped her ramen, her furrowed brows showing that she was trying to find fun in her boring job.

It took a long while before her reply came, "Well... the target was a prince from a small country. He fell in love with a princess from a rival country, so I helped him."

"You... helped him die at the hands of the princess?"

"Almost. After the mission was completed, the princess gave me a sum of money. I didn't expect to earn twice as much money from one mission. The prince's life is really valuable."

...The prince said thank you so much.

I didn't expect my mother to be like this. Haruko opened her mouth and said something with a twist, "Didn't Meiling say before that she wanted to live an interesting life? What kind of interesting life do you want?"

Seeing that there was only some soup left at the bottom of the bowl, Takeuchi Mirei put down her chopsticks and looked at her with a pair of cold and confused eyes.

"I don't know. I've never thought about it."

As an orphan, her memory is almost gone. After her talent was discovered, she entered the Anbu training. Day after day, she carried out missions and killed people, and her life became fixed.

He fought on the battlefield when he was young, and awakened his pupil technique when he was on the verge of death. He transformed himself into an existence that made the top leaders happy and fearful.

“My life now is probably about changing from an ordinary tool to a handy tool.

She couldn't be said to have much freedom, but compared to the Root under Shimura Danzo, she was relatively safe in the Anbu. However, this protection was also very weak. Assassination attempts against her occurred frequently over the years, one after another.

Because I felt numb, I accidentally fell in love with listening to other people's stories.

Different from the world full of killing, it is a vivid, curious and attractive life, which they call "interesting".

She hasn't thought about what kind of future she wants. It will probably be no different from the present, but if possible, she also wants an interesting life.

"What is fun to you?"

Hearing her question, Haruko thought for a moment before answering, "An interesting life is one with family, friends, and things you like."

"Is that so?"

Even after hearing many answers, Takeuchi Mirei still couldn't quite understand what an interesting life was, but she also learned to expect like ordinary people: "Maybe one day I can have my own family."

Haruko caught the emptiness hidden beneath her appearance from her wishes, and her heart ached as she looked at her mother who seemed to have nothing.

All her love was learned from the mother in this world. The origin of all her emotions, all her vitality, and all her future expectations were born from her mother, the best mother in the world...

Have you been living in pain?

Haruko held back the sob in her voice and forced a smile, but she didn't know that her smile looked ugly.

Her eyelashes fluttered with tears, and she felt her eyes getting hot. She quickly turned her head away, picked up the ramen with the chopsticks in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth, letting her tears drip into the noodle soup.

The usually delicious ramen was hard to swallow at this moment. Haruko closed her eyes tightly, squeezed out her tears while her hair was covering her eyes, and raised her head the next second with a relaxed expression, pretending nothing had happened.

Under Takeuchi Mirei's deep gaze, Haruko made up her mind and told the truth in a joking tone.

"Actually, I am your daughter. I came back from the future to save the world!"

But she didn't expect that Takeuchi Mirei would stare at her for a few seconds and then smile, "It's strange."

Her brain seemed to slow down, and Haruko's smile froze. Her voice was filled with disbelief, "You... believe what I say?"

"Why don't you believe it?" The sharpness in Takeuchi Meiling's eyes gradually melted away, and she explained to her word by word, "If I really have a daughter in the future, I think... she will be like you."

The words of affirmation exploded in Haruko's ears like thunder. She could not express her emotions for a moment. She only felt her tears falling like pearls from a broken string. The happiness and soreness of being recognized filled her chest.

For a daughter, there is nothing more proud than being chosen by her mother.

"I...I..." Haruko sobbed and couldn't speak complete words.

Takeuchi Mirei thought casually, it seems to be true...

Her eyes followed every tear that fell, and Takeuchi Mirei's heart was calm, but for some reason she didn't want to see her continue crying.

So I asked without thinking: "Who should I marry?"

"Eh?" Haruko paused her sobbing and looked at her with her watery eyes, looking as if she hadn't reacted.

Takeuchi Mirei held her face in her hands, leaned closer and repeated, "My marriage partner."

After saying that, he wiped her tears with his thumb.

Finally coming to her senses, Haruko pondered for a while before replying with a trembling voice, "Is it... a tall and strong man with a lively personality? Um... active? Not serious?"

Although I wanted to create a good first impression of my father in front of my mother, when I thought about all the funny behaviors of my father, I really couldn't think of any normal way to describe him.

Takeuchi Mirei commented: "He sounds like a weird person."

Haruko echoed, "He looks like a weird uncle."

The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Takeuchi Mirei patted her head and stepped back, "What's his name?"

"It's morning." Haruko asked excitedly, thinking of something, "Are you going to go find him?"

"Let's talk about it later." Seeing her disappointed face, Takeuchi Meiling changed the subject and said, "Maybe I'll go and ask about it when I have time."

"!!!"

Haruko cheered up all of a sudden. Could it be that she could witness her mom and dad's love story this time when she came to the past? !
