When Nangong Zhe stood in front of his house, the sky was already bright. Although the sun had not directly revealed itself, a beautiful white color had already appeared in the eastern sky. Nangong Zhe's house was slightly away from the downtown area of Wood leaf Village, so there was still a large area of forest around it. The slightly cold morning air and the humid atmosphere in the forest combined to form a thin layer of mist that shrouded the earth, looking exceptionally gentle.
Gently pushing open the door of his house, Nangong Zhe did not want to disturb the rest of the girls at home. The wooden door that was painted with a layer of paint was slowly pushed open by Nangong Zhe's palm. Nangong Zhe also walked a few steps into the entrance of his house. Quietly taking off his coat and shoes, Nangong Zhe walked into the living room of his house.
To Nangong Zhe's surprise, the girls in his house were actually sitting in the living room. Whether it was Little Linger who loved to sleep in, Nangong Rou and Mashiro who usually woke up early to make breakfast for everyone, their eyes were slightly bloodshot at this moment.
Their eyes were still a little tired from staying up late. When they saw that Nangong Zhe was on duty, they quietly hid it. The faces of the three girls immediately changed into warm smiles as they looked at Nangong Zhe. The three girls and Nangong Zhe looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Mashiro seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so she slowly stood up, tidied up her clothes, and said to Nangong Zhe, "Last night, I was busy last night.
"I was busy all night last night and only just came back. I've already cooked porridge. It should be time to eat now. I'll go get a bowl for you. After eating some porridge, you should rest well too, Gong Gong. "
As she said that, Mashiro walked to Nangong Zhe's side and naturally took the robe that was stained with blood from Nangong Zhe's hands. She also walked to the entrance and took Nangong Zhe's dirty shoes to the laundry area. Obviously, she was going to tidy it up.
From the beginning to the end, Mashiro did not say much, and Nangong Zhe did not ask much either. After all, Mashiro was a top spy trained by Root. As one of the participants of the plan, Nangong Zhe naturally let Mashiro detect something. Not to mention other things, Nangong Zhe had concealed his presence time and time again. Mashiro was completely aware of it. Before this operation, Nangong Zhe had also collected a lot of information from the Blood Garment Pavilion. Mashiro had been helping Nangong Zhe manage the affairs in the Blood Garment Pavilion for all these years, so she naturally knew a lot about these things.
She watched as Mashiro went to the kitchen to get porridge for Nangong Zhe. Nangong Rou also carefully looked at Nangong Zhe's body. She did not find any injuries on him, so she did not say much and walked to her bedroom. It seemed like she wanted to catch up on some sleep.
After the two older sisters left, Little Linger relaxed a little. She affectionately pulled Nangong Zhe's arm and let Nangong Zhe sit beside her.
"Brother Nangong, Brother Nangong … Are those guys from Root very powerful? Little Linger really wants to hear the story of you fighting with those bad guys from Root. Can you tell Little Linger about it? "
Xiao Ling Er's pair of watery eyes stared at Nangong Zhe. Nangong Zhe couldn't resist for a moment. Therefore, Nangong Zhe decided to tell Xiao Ling Er everything that he knew about this matter to an unrelated person like Xiao Ling Er.
…
"Then … Are we safe from now on?"
After listening to Nangong Zhe's explanation, Ling Er's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light. She asked Nangong Zhe. "What's the matter?" Nangong Zhe explained a lot about this operation. She learned about the destruction of Root and the escape of Danzo.
"That's right, at least we're safe in Wood leaf. The current Hokage of Wood leaf, Watergate, has a good relationship with me, so with him looking after us, we won't encounter the same dangerous situation as before … "
Nangong Zhe did not tell Little Linger about the schemes between him and Watergate, because these small schemes could not change the fact that Watergate and Nangong Zhe needed each other's help. Even in such a relationship, Minato was still in a relatively weak position, because Minato had been tightly locked by Konoha, and Nangong Zhe not only held the power of the Blood-Cloak Pavilion in his hands, but he also didn't have much control over such power.
"Then … Little Linger, can Brother Nangong promise me one thing?"
Looking at Nangong Zhe, Little Linger said timidly to Nangong Zhe. Little Linger was usually a carefree girl. She usually said whatever she wanted to say, but now her timid appearance really made Nangong Zhe feel very fresh. It was just like when she left the village with Nangong Zhe, Little Linger was full of fear for the future.
Nangong Zhe felt that he might know what Little Linger wanted to ask of him, so he gently placed his hand on Little Linger's head and gently stroked her beautiful hair with the bell ornament.
"Little Linger, tell me … Now that everything is basically settled, if you have anything you want to do, brother can go with you."
Perhaps because of Nangong Zhe's attitude, Little Linger, who was originally a little nervous, slowly calmed down. Little Linger's eyes contained a rare bit of heaviness and sorrow.
"Grandfather, he … has been gone for many years. But I have never had the time to go back and see him. When you were in the Blood-Cloak Pavilion, you also sent some subordinates to dig up Grandfather's grave, but because of various things, there was no way to personally pull out a weed or light an incense for Grandfather's grave. So … I actually just want you to come with me to the village where I used to live and visit my grandfather's grave … "
After hearing Little Linger's words, Nangong Zhe also remembered that when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, Mashiro carried him through the forest with great difficulty. Fortunately, they met Ah Weng and he was able to receive treatment in time to save his life. When it was time to leave, Ah Weng knew that he was nearing the end of his life, so he entrusted Little Linger to him. With that said, Nangong Zhe also wanted to see the last traces left behind by Ah Weng in this world.
