Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 229 The descendants of the savior

"Well, is there anyone else in this fishing village?"

Xuehui asked.

"It's gone. After my grandfather's incident, everyone moved away, and only our family stayed in accordance with my grandfather's will."

"Your grandfather's will?"

Xuehui was curious.

"Want to know? Uncle, pull me up first!"

The little girl laughed mischievously and stretched out a slender arm.

Xue Hui smiled helplessly, stretched out his right hand, and carefully pulled her up.

"Uncle, your hands are so cold, they froze me to death!"

After getting up, the little girl let go of Xue Hui's hand in a hurry, rubbing her hand in her bosom.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot to withdraw first."

It was only then that Xue Hui belatedly realized that it was his body-protecting frost armor, apologized, and took off the ice armor from his hand in front of the little girl.

"This way it won't freeze you, but my body temperature should still be as cold as you."

"Hee hee, it turns out that uncle is the same as me!"

The little girl didn't mean to blame at all, but said with a smile.

"What's the same?"

"That's it!"

The little girl stretched out her hand, and under her control, a layer of crystalline protective film gradually formed on her hands.

"This is something only me and grandpa can do, neither my parents nor my parents can do it!"

The little girl said proudly.

"This is--"

Xue Hui looked at the crystal in her hand in surprise.

"Oh, it's too bad, grandpa ordered that as long as it's not an emergency, you can't use it in front of others!"

The little girl suddenly yelled and covered her mouth with her hands.

"Uncle, you should help me keep it a secret!"

The little girl blinked her eyes, and the supplicant looked at Xuehui.

Xue Hui reached out to the top of her head, stroked her purple hair, and said:
"Of course not, but can you please take me to your house to have a look? I think the person my mother wants me to come here to look for should be your grandfather!"

"Huh? So, the person that grandpa said that our family should wait here is you, uncle?"

While leading Xuehui into the uninhabited village, the little girl said in surprise.

"wait for me?"

Xue Hui pointed at himself unexpectedly.

"Yes!"

The little girl nodded, walked around in front of Xue Hui, walked backwards with her back on her back, and said to Xue Hui:

"Grandpa said that there will be a child who will come to find his mother in the future and ask us to give him the letter left by grandpa."

"I see, please let me read your grandfather's letter, please!"

Stopping at the door of the little girl's house, Xue Hui solemnly asked the little girl.

After a while, the little girl handed the well-preserved letter to Xue Hui.

Xue Hui opened the envelope tremblingly, and looked at it seriously.

As Xuehui expected, the little girl's grandfather was the one who promised Xuehui's mother to send Xuehui to Weichao Village safely.

Moreover, he turned out to be a retired powerful ninja, which is why he was able to evade Wunin's pursuit and send Xuehui to Uzuki Village without a sound, but no one found out.

At the end of the letter, Xue Hui's savior asked Xue Hui to help take care of his descendants if he wanted to repay him.

Xue Hui closed the letter, closed his eyes, and meditated for a long time.

The little girl also stood not far from Xuehui, looking at Xuehui quietly and curiously.

"My name is Xuehui, what's your name?"

Xue Hui opened his eyes again, looking at the little girl.

"Honglian, my name is Honglian! It sounds nice, it's my name given by grandpa!"

Honglian said proudly.

"Red Lotus?! Sure enough."

Xue Hui showed an unexpected expression, and then asked:

"How long has it been since your parents came back?"

"It's been a long, long time. It disappeared shortly after the start of the War of the Kingdom of Water. I should have come back a long time ago. I have to go out to the forest to find food by myself these two days!"

Speaking of this, Guren recounted her recent hard work with a dissatisfied face.

Xue Hui opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Uncle Xuehui, tell me, are mom and dad already the same as grandpa—"

Honglian suddenly said hesitantly.

"Don't think about it!"

Xue Hui quickly rubbed the opponent's head and said:
"Honglian, it's not good for you to live here by yourself, or you can live with me in my village, where there are many people of the same age who can play with you!"

"As for your parents, we can leave a letter to tell them where we are going. I think it is not a big problem to find Uzumaki Village with their skills of going to sea all the year round."

Xue Hui suggested.

"That……"

The little girl was troubled, her eyes moved back and forth between Xuehui and her surroundings, finally, she took a deep breath and decided:

"Okay! Then please uncle!"

Seeing Honglian's cheerful smiling face after going through a hard life, Xuehui also showed a rare smile.

"Don't worry, I will treat you like my child!"

Xuehui promised.

"After all." Xue Hui looked at the humble house and sighed, "My life was given by your grandfather."

"Also, you don't need to hide your abilities anymore. On the contrary, you have to work hard and try to use crystallization proficiently. This will be the foundation of your future."

Xuehui said.

Guren nodded half-understood.

After leaving a letter, Xuehui took Guren back to Kurenin's army.

"The problem is solved?"

Fei Jian looked at Xue Hui who looked much more relaxed.

"Ah, yes, thanks to Guren."

Xue Hui looked at Honglian who was curiously looking at so many people around.

"Who is this child?"

Feijian asked.

"I want to take her as my adopted daughter. On the one hand, it is to repay the kindness of my mother and me. On the other hand, Honglian has a high potential, and she is also the owner of the Blood Succession Boundary Crystal Escape."

Xuehui replied.

"Crystal escape? Isn't that the lost blood successor?!"

After hearing Xue Hui's words, Fei Jian looked at Hong Lian with a different look.

Sensing the searching gaze of the scientist in Tokima, combined with his mask, Hong Lian hid behind Xue Hui with some fear, shrinking her body.

"Don't be afraid, the teacher is like this, and you will get used to it in the future."

Xue Hui comforted him.

After hearing this, Honglian bravely walked up to Feijian, cupped her hands together, and slowly formed a rough crystal red lotus in her palm, and handed it to Feijian.

"Hi, it's the first time we meet, this is for you."

Guren looked at Feijian with timid eyes.

On the contrary, Xuehui and Feijian were stunned by this place, and Feijian immediately reached out to take the red lotus crystal, and returned:
"I accept it. When I return to the village, I will give you a gift in return."

Xue Hui could clearly feel the change in Fei Jian's tone, and looked at the happy Hong Lian in surprise.

All the things in the country of water were completed, and with the joy of victory and rich spoils, two days later, Xue Hui took the Uzumaki back to the border of the country of Uzumaki by boat.
