Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

"Hmm~ I won't beat around the bush."

If you keep listening to it, your mind will explode!

"Uzumaki Kaoru, and your mother, come with me to a place where there will be no disputes and no one will bully you."

"???"

Xiang Lu tilted his head in confusion.

Because she was still young, she didn't think there was anything to be surprised about when Ye Cang suddenly said his last name. She was just curious about what she said about "not being bullied".

However, her innocence does not mean that her mother is not wary;

After hearing the word "whirlpool", the mother who was so polite just now seemed to have changed. She hurried over and protected the phosphorus behind her.

"Who are you? How do you know...you are not just passing by!"

"Don't worry, I don't mean any harm."

Although he is quite confident in his own fighting ability,

But after all, we are in the hinterland of another country,

And considering that Senju Maysuki's "career" was just getting started, Ye Cang asked himself that no matter what the task was, if it could be completed successfully, it would be best not to cause him any trouble.

"I admit that I came to the Country of Grass to find you."

First, throw out the core of the problem, and then immediately continue to talk while the other party is nervous:

"You should know about the Senju clan of Konoha Village, right?"

"!"

Hearing the words "Konoha Village", Xiang Ling's mother's mood suddenly paused, and an indescribable look appeared on her face. When she later mentioned the Senju Clan, her whole person gradually calmed down.

However, he didn't know if it was his own misunderstanding, but Ye Cang always felt that while the other party was calming down, a trace of impatience and ridicule seemed to flash across his face?

"Mom, where is Konoha Village?"

Xiang Lian has only grown up in this dilapidated house since he was a child. Not to mention things about the ninja world, being able to understand some common sense of life is the result of his mother's hard work.

But when faced with her daughter's question, this middle-aged beautiful woman seemed not to hear it, and just protected her more tightly in her arms.

"Konoha Village, it's just..."

Seeing Xiang Ling's diverted gaze, Ye Cang could only pick out a few key points and say:

"It's a beautiful, peaceful place with lots of friends to play with, and no one will bully you... Do you want to go?"

Xiang Phosphorus's eyes immediately lit up when she heard what she said, but she also knew that it didn't matter whether she wanted to go or not, what mattered was her mother's attitude, so she could only turn her longing eyes to her mother.

But even though her heart ached at the longing in her daughter's eyes, Xiang Phosphorus' mother still shook her head decisively.

"No need, we are very satisfied with our life here and don't dare to have such extravagant expectations of 'beautiful' things."

As soon as these words came out, the light in Xiang Ling's eyes dimmed instantly, but he still forced a smile and smiled at Ye Cang,

"Thank you, auntie, but since my mother said she can't go, I don't want to go either."

"..."

Ye Cang was silent, still a little confused.

Because as far as she knows, the Senju and Uzumaki have been in-laws for decades. Logically speaking, they should be very excited and welcome when they hear about the Senju clan, but now no matter how she looks at each other, they don't seem to have good intentions. What does it look like?

However, doubts remain doubts. It is still impossible to give up the task that needs to be completed just because of her words. Since the adults have difficulty here, they simply turn their goals to the main goal.

"Xiang Phosphorus, can you tell me where these... marks on my mother's body came from?"

"Are you done with the tea? I'll ask you out when you're done! I'm tired and need to rest!"

"..."

Ye Cang raised his head, and then suddenly teleported behind Xiang Ling's mother, then reached out and pressed hard on the artery in her neck. The next second, he saw this middle-aged beautiful woman who had been tense and nervous fell down softly. In her arms.

And it wasn't until she carried this boneless body to the bed that she heard Xiang Phosphorus' tentative inquiry:

"Mother?"

"Your mother is too tired, let her rest first."

He carefully tucked the quilt away, and then Ye Cang took Xiang Lu's hand and returned to the main hall.

"Okay, now can you tell me what you really think? Also, your mother's injuries..."

Upon hearing her question, Xiang Ling did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at his sleeping mother.

After being out of her mother's sight, this little girl seemed to be much quieter. The sadness in her eyes was so heavy that Ye Cang couldn't help but think that the innocence and romance of this little girl just now might just be for her mother. watch……

"Those people... every time someone gets hurt, they ask mom to come over..."

"When you come back, you will have many, many more teeth marks on your body..."

"I was very scared and begged her not to go anymore... But my mother said this is the price we pay for staying in this village..."

It was like someone who had been holding back for a long time suddenly opened up his conversation box. Before Ye Cang could ask any more questions, the young Xiang Phosphorus said all the words he had hidden in his heart for a long time:

Including the poor but happy life of mother and daughter,

And my mother would be called out every once in a while,

And what I occasionally hear from those ninjas is, 'If your physiques weren't still of some use, who would be willing to take in you, the rioters who had their villages and countries destroyed'...

Looking at Xiang Ling who was stubbornly holding back his tears, Ye Cang couldn't help but feel speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Because really speaking, except for the time when she was betrayed by Sunagakure's senior management, her life could almost be described as smooth at other times. Compared with Xianglan, she was undoubtedly extremely lucky.

"Take your mother and go with me...I really didn't lie to you. The place I want to take you to will definitely not allow anyone to bully you again!"

However, Xiang Phosphorus looked at her mother again, and finally shook her head gently.

"Wherever mom is, I will go~"

Ye Cang was a little helpless when he heard this, but he could understand it. After all, for children, family is definitely more important.

"I don't know why you are so resistant~"

Looking at Uzumaki Miyuki who seemed to be sleeping soundly in bed, Ye Cang suddenly spoke.

Uzumaki Miyuki is the name of Kaoru's mother. Kaoru mentioned it during the conversation just now~

Ye Cang knew that she had actually woken up a few minutes ago.

"But what I want to say is, would you really rather let Xiang Lu live a life of dependence with you here every day than give her a chance to choose her own life?"

Hearing her words, Uzumaki Miyuki also understood that his pretense had been discovered, so he had no choice but to open his eyes and just looked at the ceiling above, silently without saying a word.

"Mom~"

Seeing his mother wake up, Xiang Ling, who was wondering what Ye Cang suddenly meant when he said these words a second ago, immediately ran over.

"..."

silence.

Ye Cang didn't speak, waiting for the other party's answer.

Miyuki Uzumaki didn't speak, but she seemed to be expressing her determination with this attitude.

"Huh... I'm really touched by your experience, and I also envy the relationship between your mother and daughter."

In the end, it was Ye Cang who sighed first,

This mother and daughter are indeed worthy of sympathy, but in her heart, the task assigned by Senju Mayuki is undoubtedly more important.

"But there is no other way. The order I received is, 'No matter what method is used, Uzumaki Kaoru must be brought back to Tonika Village to train her properly'..."

"So if you are still so insistent, then I can only take her away. Although she may suffer the pain of being separated from her mother, fortunately she is still young now, five or ten years After that, she will slowly get used to it..."

"Tony...what village were you talking about...?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Uzumaki Miyuki straighten up and asked in surprise:

"Isn't it Konoha Village?"

“Tonika Village~”

Ye Cang was a little confused by her sudden scene, but it was a good thing that the other party reacted, so he immediately continued:

"Although the person who gave me the task is a descendant of the Thousand Hands clan, our base is in Tonika Village. It is a very beautiful small village where every household is very friendly."

"Oh... just go to Konoha."

Miyuki Uzumaki looked obviously relieved,

"Well, if you can really take us away safely, then we are willing to go with you!"

Ye Cang: "???"

what's the situation?

Isn't that right?

After all, the Uzumaki clan and the Leaf Village have been in-laws for decades, so why does she act like such an enemy that cannot be avoided?
