Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

Chi Qing never hid the matter between Haku and Kimimaro from Naruto.

So Naruto had been listening to their stories since he was a child, and had always been interested in the stories of Haku and Kimimaro.

Likewise, Bai and Kimimaro had been listening to Chi Qing mentioning Naruto.

Bai has always envied Naruto because he is Mr. Chi's true family.

The fact that they were related by blood was enough to make him envious, but not jealous.

Because he saw that Naruto was indeed very outstanding, and even had some of Mr. Chi's shadow on him.

This is the impact that comes from living together for a long time.

But Bai was also surprised that Mr. Ike would mention himself and Kimimaro to Naruto, and was a little flattered.

Bai's cheeks were slightly red, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "I didn't expect Mr. Chi to mention our affairs."

Naruto knew from his expression that Bai must like his uncle very much, so he also laughed: "And..."

"Naruto, who are you talking to?"

Sasuke's voice sounded behind him, and Naruto turned around: "Sasuke! Can't you sleep either? Let me introduce you, this is..."

Looking back, Bai, who was originally sitting in front of him, had left at some point.

"Ah... he's gone." Naruto felt a little regretful.

"Who was there just now?" Sasuke asked with a frown.

"It's Brother Bai~" Naruto looked at Sasuke, "Maybe he had to go first due to an emergency. Ah... the box that my uncle asked me to pass on to him, he hasn't taken it away yet."

Sasuke's frown deepened: "How can you be sure that he is the 'Bai' that Brother Chi Qing mentioned before?"

"How could he appear here by such a coincidence?"

It’s no wonder Sasuke is suspicious. Now Kakashi is seriously injured and still in a coma, so he can only keep his mind tense.

Naruto was a little at a loss when asked: "I always feel that... he is not a bad person, and I can be sure that he is Brother Bai! Uncle said he would be here."

As for how Chi Qing found out, there are many possibilities, after all, they have been in contact all the time.

Sasuke sighed slightly, "Try not to act alone in this place."

They were not familiar with the Land of Waves, and the danger level of the mission had also increased a lot.

Any accidents may happen.

"Got it~" Naruto held the hand that Sasuke extended to him, used the force to stand up, and then went back with Sasuke.

Bai, who was hiding in the dark, saw them leave and prepared to return to the base.

A voice came from my ear, and the thousand books were thrown out, and were easily caught by the person walking towards me: "Long time no see, Xiaobai."

"..." The familiar aura made Bai's eyes widen. Even though he was just a teenager when they last met, and now he had grown into a young man, Bai recognized him at the first sight.

He trotted to Chi Qing, unable to believe what he saw was real: "Chi, Mr. Chi!" He stared at him, his eyes slightly red: "Long time no see, are you okay?"

Chi Qing put Qianben back into Bai's hands and rubbed his head: "Not bad, you have grown a lot taller. I am fine. Thank you for your concern. I am very happy to see you here."

Bai was a little confused and took back the thousand books: "I am really sorry, I offended you... I..."

Chi Qing shook her head: "You are very alert. You have grown a lot. I am happy for you."

There were so many things they wanted to say, so they sat down by the clear river: "Are you here for Master Naruto?"

Chi Qing didn't plan to hide it from Bai: "Yes, but there is also a mission. I am a little worried about Naruto's first time out, but you can't tell Naruto that I came to see him~ I just plan to watch secretly. If Naruto knows that I followed him, he will be unhappy."

Bai shook his head, "I don't think Master Naruto will be mad at you. Is there anything I can help you with? I'm more familiar with the Land of Waves."

"Thank you, but it's not necessary. It's a very simple task. Please be careful here." Chi Qing knew that Bai was doing a bounty mission, so he urged him a few more times.

Bai didn't feel annoyed at all after hearing this. Instead, he felt warm in his heart. This was the feeling of being cared for by family.

They talked more about recent things and what Kimimaro and the others were doing. Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai would be suspected if he didn't go back, so they had to part with reluctance.

"It's okay. There's a long way to go. We'll see each other again." Chi Qing rubbed Bai's hair again and tied his hair before he left: "Be careful."

"I will, and you too." Bai touched his hair and smiled with a red face.
