Nangong Zhe took out a blanket from the house and gently covered the sleeping Sakura with the blanket.
Sakura was young and was at the age where she was fond of sleeping. Nangong Zhe told her about some of the things that happened outside the village, which made the little girl jump up and down in excitement. But after jumping up and down, she was very tired and fell asleep on her mother's lap.
"Thank you, Yabuki, for coming over to help me clean up the house when I left. Otherwise, I was really worried that no one could live in the house …"
Nangong Zhe looked at the person who had always taken care of him like a sister and smiled.
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter. You suddenly disappeared without a trace. You gave me a fright. I was worried about your safety for a few days. You're like my own brother, I'm also very concerned about your safety. "Ya Chui looked at Nangong Zhe and seemed to be a little angry that Nangong Zhe left without saying goodbye.
"Later, my husband told me that you're also a strong person. Even if something happens, you can protect yourself. I finally let go of my hanging heart. But I thought that you might come back at any time, but you don't even have a place to stay. So I came over to help you clean up occasionally when I'm free. This is nothing … "
He had already left Wood leaf, but there were still people who were thinking about him. This kind of feeling really made Nangong Zhe feel a little warm in his heart.
"Can I ask you what made you leave Wood leaf without any warning?"
Ya Chui was actually very worried about Nangong Zhe, so she hesitated for a while before asking.
Nangong Zhe was a little embarrassed because Danzō's question was indeed very sensitive. Nangong Zhe was not sure if he would implicate Ya Chui if he told her the truth. However, Ya's worries were real. Nangong Zhe still felt that he should let Ya know a little more.
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that some of the higher-ups in Wood leaf want to force me to do something I don't want to do. I couldn't afford to offend them, but I could still hide. So, I took Rourou and the others and left Wood leaf for the time being. Actually, it was a coincidence that I came back to the Wood leaf. I happened to run into Watergate who was going back to the Wood leaf, so I came back with him to take a look and talk about the situation. "
When Ya Chui heard that it was because of the dirty dealings of the higher-ups, a look of understanding appeared on her face.
In fact, Konoha's high-level officials had a lot of shady things circulating in the streets. In fact, everyone was well aware of it. Nangong Zhe put such a big black pot on the heads of Konoha's high-level officials, there was really no flaw.
Anyway, Danzō himself was also a member of Wood leaf's higher-ups. Letting Wood leaf's higher-ups take the blame together wasn't a loss, right?
Just as Nangong Zhe was about to continue chatting with Ya Chui, Nangong Zhe sensed that there seemed to be some movement in front of his house.
"Yabuki, I didn't think that someone would come just as I came back to Wood leaf … I'll go take a look …"
Ya Chui nodded and signaled Nangong Zhe to do as he pleased.
Standing up, Nangong Zhe held the God's Retribution Sword in his hand and slowly walked to the front of his house.
Creak …
As Nangong Zhe exerted force in his hand, the door slowly opened.
Looking straight ahead, there was no one in sight.
Nangong Zhe looked down again and found that Naruto was standing in front of his house. His eyes were red and tears kept flowing out of his eyes.
Nangong Zhe's hand that was tightly holding the God's Retribution Sword also slowly loosened. Nangong Zhe gently squatted down and pulled Naruto's small hand and asked, "Why are you here? Daddy finally came back, why don't you stay with your daddy? "
When Naruto heard Nangong Zhe's words, the tears in his eyes stopped. However, he lowered his head and looked at his feet without saying a word.
A gust of wind blew, bringing a bit of coldness. Nangong Zhe knew that he couldn't always let Naruto stand in front of his house, so he stood up and pulled Naruto into the house.
"It's cold outside, let's talk inside …"
Naruto nodded and followed Nangong Zhe in.
When they entered the living room, they saw Ya Chui sitting inside and Sakura sleeping soundly on her lap.
"Naruto … What's wrong? You look like you've been crying? "
Ya Chui and Shinna Kushina could be said to be living in two completely different classes. If not for Nangong Zhe's existence, perhaps the two of them might not even know each other. However, Naruto and Sakura had received training from Nangong Zhe since they were young. Even their mothers had unknowingly become good friends with each other.
So when she saw Naruto's abnormal appearance, Ya Chui asked.
However, Naruto still lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Ya Chui couldn't help but look at Nangong Zhe, obviously hoping that Nangong Zhe would give her an explanation.
"Watergate is back …"
When Nangong Zhe said the two words' Watergate ', Nangong Zhe clearly felt the small hand that he was holding tremble slightly.
When he was chatting with Ya Chui just now, Nangong Zhe had already told her about the news of Watergate's return. However, Ya Chui didn't immediately connect it to Naruto. Nangong Zhe reminded Ya Chui, so she naturally understood.
A father that she had never met, a stranger that was closest to her.
This kind of thing happened to such a young child. It was no wonder that the usually cheerful Naruto was silent.
Gently moving Sakura's head away, Ya Chui walked to Naruto's side.
She squatted down and hugged Naruto in her arms.
Obviously, she didn't say a word, but Naruto's tears flowed out again.
The crying was so loud that even the sleeping Sakura was awakened by Naruto's crying.
Sakura, who usually had a bad temper, looked at Naruto who was crying in her mother's arms, but it was rare that she didn't lose her temper. She just quietly looked at her mother and Naruto.
Nangong Zhe didn't expect that Watergate's return would have such a big impact on Naruto, but thinking about it carefully. He watched Naruto grow up. During the time he taught him, Naruto never once asked him about his father. It was as if he took the initiative to ignore the existence of such a person.
The knot in his heart had been formed a long time ago.
However, these things were Watergate and Shinna Kushina's family matters. No matter how much he pitied Naruto, these things must be resolved.
However, looking at the sky that had become a little dark outside, Nangong Zhe was worried about letting Naruto go back.
Why not let him stay here for a night?
