Chapter 148 Return

"You, you..."

The Kusagakure ninja was frightened now and began to stutter when speaking.

Maybe he didn't even know what to say next.

"What are you?"

"Get lost right now, I can pretend nothing happened."

Rope Tree suddenly pulled out the sword, and in an instant, the tip of the sword was firmly against the Kusagakure's throat.

Feeling the chilling murderous intent of the young man opposite, cold sweat ran down the Kusanagi's forehead.

But now no companion dared to speak for him. Several people didn't even dare to say anything harsh, and just carried him away without stopping.

"Haha, idiot."

Fugaku sneered disdainfully and looked at Misaki behind Nawaki.

She is really a pretty girl, comparable to Mikoto.

"Um, can I call you Misaki?"

Nawaki turned around and looked at Misaki, scratching his head a little embarrassedly.

I felt a little embarrassed, but when I thought about what my brother-in-law said, it was just a small matter.

"Okay, I'll call you Rope Tree, too."

Misaki heaved a sigh of relief when she saw all the Kusa ninjas disappear around the corner.

"Will you come with us?"

Sheng Shu hesitated for a while, but still asked directly. He didn't like beating around the bush.

"Where to?"

Misaki blinked, she had her own thoughts.

"Misaki, go with them."

At this time, an old lady came out of the store with a crutch, and it was obvious that she was familiar with Misaki.

"I can't protect you. If you don't leave, those ninjas won't let you go."

"Grandma Xingzi, what will you do if I leave?"

Misaki stepped forward and supported the old lady, without any sign of blame.

I drifted here from the Land of Whirlpools, and I am very grateful to be adopted by Grandma Anzi.

"Don't worry about me. I'm an old man and they won't do anything to me."

The old lady kindly tidied up Misaki's messy long hair.

"But I can't bear to leave you."

It seems that the old lady is usually very nice to Misaki, and now she is hugging the old lady and crying.

Although she has no relatives, she has already regarded this old lady as her real relative.

What is missing is just that dispensable blood relationship.

"Sir, Misaki is still young, so I'll be in your care from now on."

The old lady was quite perceptive and she said this to Sheng Shu.

She saw how Nawaki stood up for Misaki just now.

"Don't worry, my grandmother and Misaki are from the same clan."

"I will definitely not treat her unfairly."

Nawaki agreed readily, and Minato stood aside with a slight smile on his face.

It’s also interesting to see my friends getting embarrassed.

"Yeah, that's good."

The old lady pulled Misaki away and wiped her tears.

"Misaki, please follow this master."

"Just come and see me again when you have the chance."

When the old lady said this, tears started flowing from her eyes. If she could protect Misaki, how could she bear to let her go with a stranger!

She also didn't know whether she would be able to live to see Misaki again after she left.

It's a pity that she can't leave. No matter how bad this place is, it is her root.

"Grandma Xingzi, I'll listen to you."

Misaki looked at the old lady deeply for a few times, then slowly walked behind Nawaki and said nothing more.

"Grandma Xingzi, let's go then."

Sheng Shu didn't know what to say, so he just said goodbye and left.

"let's go."

The old lady watched the red-haired girl follow the team away, and only when she disappeared from her sight did she slowly walk back to the house with her crutches.

His hunched back makes people feel sad. He is really a lonely man.

......

After leaving the town, Nawaki remembered that bringing Misaki along would affect the team's speed.

I opened my mouth to say something, but didn't know where to start.

It turned out that Minato and he had the same idea.

When brothers are in trouble, Little Sun will do his utmost to help.

"Uzumaki Misaki, we can't go any faster with you."

"Do you think this will work?"

"Find someone to carry you? That way you won't be tired, and our speed won't be affected either."

Minato came over and took the initiative to talk to Misaki, his tone was gentle, completely negotiating.

"what?"

Misaki looked around the team and didn't see a single woman. This time, Minato and his team were the singles team.

Rope Tree saw the look in Minato's eyes and swallowed the words in his mouth.

I almost blurted out “This is inappropriate!”

"We still have a mission and can't delay it for too long."

Seeing Misaki's conflicted look, Minato added fuel to the fire.

"Then, can you carry me on your back, Rope Tree?"

Misaki chose Nawaki as Minato had thought.

Fugaku found this duet a bit funny as he watched the two of them.

I just folded my arms and watched the situation unfold, just like watching a show.

"Ok, Ok."

Nawaki agreed hurriedly, which made Minato sigh.

Brother, you are too impatient!

Seeing Nawaki squatting in front of her, Misaki blushed and climbed up nervously.

As soon as Rope Tree stood up, Minato gave the order to set off.

There was no room for Misaki to regret.

Being brothers can only go so far.

"Are we going to Konoha?"

Misaki lay on Nawaki's back, having never felt such a fast speed before.

"Uh, we can't go to Konoha right now."

"Go to the Land of Rain first, and then I'll arrange for someone to take you to Konoha."

Nawaki had already made up his mind to send Misaki to her grandmother even if he had to ask his sister for help.

His hands were very polite, just supporting Misaki's thighs.

With the help of the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, he didn't feel tired at all.

"The Rain Country is at war."

Misaki also heard from the townspeople about the war in the Rain Country.

"We are at war, but don't worry, my sister and brother-in-law are very powerful."

Nawaki didn't feel comfortable bragging about himself, so he brought up Kawakaze and Tsunade.

No one in the entire ninja world would refute that they are powerful.

"Since you say it's amazing, then it must be amazing."

In Misaki's eyes, Nawaki is already a great master.

"That's not..."

Nawaki was originally planning to brag about it, but after thinking about it, he realized that Misaki might not even know who people like Hanzo of the Salamander and the Third Kazekage were.

He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Is that little blond-haired guy your brother?"

Misaki was a little curious when he heard Minato call him "Rope Tree Brother".

She is two years older than Nawaki, so there is no problem with her calling Minato "brother".

"To be precise, he is my brother-in-law's disciple, but we have our own opinions."

Nawaki thought for a while before answering Misaki's question seriously.

"Is that so? Then he is a generation lower than you."

Misaki laughed softly into Nawaki's ear.

“We don’t count this.”

Sheng Shu explained it in a naive way.

Perhaps because he heard the two people talking about him, Minato looked back.

Rope Tree has learned this skill well from his teacher!
