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

Chi Qing didn't have much luggage to pack.

He always puts the necessities for missions in storage scrolls that he has prepared long ago.

Then, after categorizing and sorting a bunch of scrolls, put them all together in another higher-level scroll, which can reduce the baggage on your body.

In fact, under normal circumstances, other ninjas would travel light when on a mission, and they would only carry the weapons needed for combat.

Chi Qing would not bring so many things for a short-term mission, but he took a quick look at the content of the mission.

I won't be able to return to the village in a short time.

I don’t know if the Third Generation did it on purpose. After all, he had just promised Chi Qing that he could visit Naruto once a week.

But right now, he may not be able to return within a year: "It feels like being exiled to the frontier."

After all, this was a mission with a "punishment". Naruto's identity was too sensitive in Konoha, and Chi Qing was able to kidnap Naruto in front of the Anbu despite the obstruction...

Chi Qing understood that the third generation was protecting himself by asking him to temporarily leave the village in the name of a punishment mission.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Shisui for a long time." Having slept for such a long time, Chi Qing knew that Shisui must be worried about him.

But he hadn't seen Shisui all day today, so he probably wasn't in the village.

All the luggage needed for the mission was packed in one night.

The next morning, Chi Qing paid a visit to the Uchiha clan.

However, he was told that Shisui was not at home.

Having joined the Konoha Guard, Shisui did not have much free time, but he could sense that Shisui was in it.

As for why he didn't want to see him and said he wasn't at home, Chi Qing guessed several reasons.

"Please tell Shisui that I'm waiting for him 'there'." This trip out of the village would take a long time to come back, and Chi Qing always felt that he would regret it if he couldn't see Shisui.

"Okay Master Chi, I will convey the truth to Master Shisui."

Chi Qing left only after the servant agreed.

After buying a bunch of things on the street, I ran to the back mountain.

He also knew that the Uchiha would be subject to speculation after the Nine-Tails incident, and the Uchiha's situation in Konoha would become increasingly awkward.

Shisui will become the victim of this incident many years later, after all, he is the only close friend and Chi Qing values ​​him very much.

Uchiha House——

After Chi Qing left, the servant closed the door and he returned to the house.

Shisui, who was supposed to be "not at home", was sitting in the reception room: "I have already said what the young master told me to do."

"Well, thank you." Shisui hasn't adjusted his state yet and doesn't know how to get along with Chi Qing.

"Master Chi also said that he would wait for you there."

“…I understand. Thank you for your hard work.”

After the servants left, Shisui stood up and paced around the reception room anxiously.

To go or not to go?

Intellectually, Shisui told him that it would be best to avoid meeting Chi Qing during this period of time.

But what if Chi Qing has been waiting there?

The sun set, night fell, and Shisui could no longer endure it and walked out of the Uchiha household.

He was feeling nervous on the way there, hoping that Chi Qing would not be able to wait for him and would have gone back, but also hoping to see Chi Qing.

But if Chi Qing was still here, what would he say when he saw her?

When they arrived at the place behind the mountain, that was the place they came to every day when they first met.

Shisui looked at the pile of food under the tree, and his guilt reached its peak.

I didn’t see Chi Qing, so I felt relieved, but also a little disappointed.

"It's really not easy to see you now."
