Chapter 140 Timid Mushroom
Perhaps because the route was relatively remote, or perhaps because the Root organization had evacuated the crowd in advance, the journey back to the Uchiha clan's territory was smooth and unobstructed.
Uchiha Ike returned to his stone hut and was about to turn the key when he noticed a figure sitting on the steps.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he stepped forward, but the figure did not react at all.
As he drew closer, in the darkness of the night, he could see the other person's face clearly.
With her short brown hair hanging down, Nohara Rin lowered her head, looking exceptionally well-behaved. She closed her eyes and leaned against the bluestone wall, sleeping soundly and peacefully.
Looking at the other person's sweet profile, Uchiha Ike hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Rin?"
Her delicate shoulders trembled slightly, and Nohara Rin raised her head with a hazy expression, looking at him sleepily.
However, when she saw the person in front of her, the one she had been waiting for, Nohara Rin's first reaction was not to stand up.
She rubbed her eyes first, then carefully examined Uchiha Ike. Only after confirming that it wasn't a dream did a hint of joy appear on her innocent face.
"Chi-kun, you're back?"
"Yeah, you're back." Uchiha Ike responded, looking at the other person curiously. "It's so late, you..."
"I heard you finished your mission today..." Nohara Rin said shyly, her head down, "so I wanted to come and see you."
In fact, she had been waiting here since she was middle-aged.
However, Uchiha Ike never returned, so she went to the pancake stall. She remembered that Uchiha Ike really liked the pancakes made at this stall.
After quickly dealing with her stomach upset, she returned to her seat and sat there until it got dark. When she could no longer keep her eyes open, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
"Oh..." Uchiha Ike nodded, looking at the cardboard box in the other person's hand, "This is..."
'
"These are pastries I made!"
Nohara Rin held up the cardboard box with the bear pattern on it with both hands and said.
During the time that Uchiha Ike was away from the village on a mission, Nohara Rin would often recall the words that Yuhi Kurenai had said.
You can't expect someone to understand your feelings just by eating them; they'll only know if you say them out loud.
So, during this period, she would prepare a pastry every day, and if Uchiha Ike returned that day, she would give him the freshest one.
As a result, she has gained two pounds...
Nohara Rin shook her head; now was not the time to be upset about this!
It's time to tell the other person how you feel!
"Chi-kun..." She raised her head, cautiously looking at Uchiha Chi, her eyes shimmering with tears, "I..."
Uchiha Ike also quieted down, smiling as he looked at Shihara Rin, adopting a posture of patient listening.
Looking at Uchiha Ike's smiling face, Nohara Rin gently covered her chest, feeling her heart pounding wildly.
"I..
'
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word, and was on the verge of tears.
Say it already...
Just as she thought this, slightly heavy footsteps came from outside the bluestone cottage.
Who?
The question had barely formed in mind when a clear voice suddenly rang out, "Lord Uchiha Ike," "I've brought him here."
Nohara Rin turned her head and saw a masked ninja throwing Aburame Ryoma onto the grass.
Looking at the pharmacist Nono, who had instinctively stood in the shadows, Nohara Rin's mouth gradually formed an "O" shape. She covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "She..."
'
She could tell that the person behind the mask was a woman.
"She's an ANBU ninja," Uchiha Ike explained.
He wasn't exactly lying; Root was originally a branch of the Anbu, but now it's completely under Danzo's control.
The main point is that Uchiha Ike doesn't intend to let Nohara Rin know that Root is watching him.
He felt that this innocent girl shouldn't be exposed to too much of Konoha's dark side right now.
"He won a lot of money gambling and passed out," Uchiha Ike turned and pointed at Aburame Ryoma, saying without changing his expression, "So we're going to wake him up now."
Nohara Rin's attention was immediately drawn, and she asked curiously, "Do ANBU ninjas go to casinos too?"
"Yes." Uchiha Ike nodded. "Not only the Anbu ninjas, but even Tsunade's grandfather liked to sneak into casinos when he was young. By the way, don't tell anyone else about this."
"That's the first generation..." Nohara Rin blurted out, then covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
She will definitely keep this secret!
'
In the shadows, Yakushi Nonou glanced at Nohara Rin, then at Uchiha Ike, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
So, this guy who talks trash and can really mess with his opponents can also make this kind of face.
She could tell that when facing this brown-haired girl, Uchiha Ike's smile was not the fake smile he had shown before, but a genuine, relaxed smile from the bottom of his heart.
The only problem is...
This person's lying skills are too good! How come their eyelids don't even twitch?
Sensing the gaze, Uchiha Ike frowned and glanced at Yakushi Nonou.
Why does this new subordinate seem a bit gossipy?
He stepped forward, turned the key, and pushed open the door.
"Take him to the storeroom first, the room closest to the courtyard. There's a chair there that's just right for him to sit on."
""
Uchiha Ike waved his hand and said, "I'll come back later. I have things to do right now."
'
....yes."
Yakushi Nonou hesitated for a moment, then bent down to pick up Aburame Ryoma from the ground, accepted the order, and went into the blue stone hut of Uchiha Ike.
Soon only Uchiha Ike and Nohara Rin remained outside.
Where were we?
Uchiha Ike tilted his head.
Nohara Rin's face tightened again, and she subconsciously clenched the gift box in her hand.
"No rush, take your time, I'm listening." Seeing her like this, Uchiha Ike smiled and said patiently.
"call...
'
Nohara Rin breathed a sigh of relief and slowly relaxed.
A sweet smile appeared on her face.
What she liked most was seeing Uchiha Ike patiently listen to her no matter what.
"These are the new pastries I made."
Nohara Rin handed over the cardboard box, "Could you please try it for me?"
Her eyes were full of laughter, blinking as if stars were twinkling.
Uchiha Ike nodded slightly and took the box full of pastries.
Seeing that Nohara Rin didn't continue speaking, he hesitated and said, "By the way, you..."
'
Didn't you have something to say?
Seeing that Uchiha Ike had accepted the gift, Nohara Rin breathed a sigh of relief.
But bathed in the other person's gaze, she felt her face flush.
"I..
"6
Stop staring at me...
Nohara Rin felt the temperature rising, and without thinking, she turned and ran away.
"Go ahead and get busy. I'll contact you when you're done!"
