My journey to Konoha

"Silly boy, if it was my mother, why would you need to protect her in secret? Besides..." Inuyasha paused, then continued, "Besides, after she passed away, the feeling of protection did not disappear... What makes me more sure is..." His face showed nostalgia for the happy times in the past, "Every night when I returned home, there was always a bunch of freshly baked meat and souls... At that time, the happiest memory was tasting the delicious meat and souls..."

"Spiritual meat?" Kagome was also surprised when she heard this, "Is someone cooking spiritual meat for you without your knowledge?"

"Yeah." Inuyasha nodded, "And I felt that it was done by the person who secretly protected me... It was the most delicious thing I have ever tasted..."

"Really..." Kagome smiled. She certainly understood that the soul and flesh at that time were not only material care, but also the comfort of Inuyasha's soul. The soul and flesh may not be the best in the world, but in Inuyasha's heart, it is irreplaceable.

"Inuyasha, what brings you here?"

“I smell the aroma of the soul and flesh.”

"Ah?" Kagome was startled, and then she also smelled the rich fragrance of spirit flesh. Turning her head, she saw Chu Yue singing softly while refining spirit flesh.

"Senior Chu Yue!" Kagome was the first to speak, while Inuyasha just stood there in a daze.

"Hello, Kagome, Inuyasha." Chu Yue waved to the two and continued to refine the spirit meat. Beside Chu Yue, Di Nian'er and her mother each held a string of spirit meat, and the villagers rested on the side, and no one approached.

"Hey, it's Kagome." Di Nian'er's mother said, "Why are you back again?"

"This..." Kagome was about to explain, but was interrupted by Di Nian'er's mother: "Since you are here, sit down and have a rest first. He is the Chu Yue I mentioned to you." As she said that, she pointed at Chu Yue, who smiled slightly.

"Hmm, um..." Kagome had no choice but to sit down and watch Chu Yue refine the spirit and flesh.

"Here you go." Chu Yue handed Kagome a string of spirit meat.

"Ah, thank you." Kagome took the spirit meat, sniffed the aroma deeply, swallowed her saliva, closed her eyes and took a bite.

"It's delicious!" Kagome immediately opened her eyes and started to eat with relish.

Chu Yue waved to Inuyasha who was still stunned, "Inuyasha, come here!"

“…” Inuyasha was speechless and walked over to Chu Yue and sat down.

"Here you go." Chu Yue handed over a string of spirit meat.

After receiving the spirit meat, Inuyasha did not taste it immediately. He stared at Chu Yue for a moment and asked, "Why do you refine this kind of spirit meat?"

"I learned it a long time ago." Chu Yue answered truthfully, "After living for so long, it is necessary to master some skills of survival in the wild, right?"

"That's not what I'm asking!" Inuyasha seemed a little excited, "Did you figure this out by yourself? Didn't you learn it from someone?!"

"Hehe." Chu Yue naturally understood Inuyasha's doubts. She held the barbecue in one hand and patted Inuyasha's shoulder with the other hand. "It's okay, Inuyasha."

In an instant, memories came flooding back.

……

"It's okay, Inuyasha." Chu Yue helped the young Inuyasha up, "Are you hurt?"

"…" Inuyasha looked at Chu Yue, "Who are you...?"

"Hmm?" Chu Yue looked at the confused look in the puppy's eyes and said with a smile, "I am your father's friend!"

"Father, friend?"

"Yeah, let's go home." Chu Yue said, picked up Inuyasha and walked towards Inuyasha's home.

This feeling... is so warm... The puppy Yasha gradually fell asleep in Chu Yue's arms.

"Hmm..." The puppy InuYasha suddenly woke up, and when he saw the spirit meat on the table, tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.

"Father, Mother..."

……

"How about it, are you thirsting for power?" Chu Yue looked at the young Inuyasha, "Inuyasha, your father, does this easily."

"My father... is he so powerful..." the young Inuyasha muttered to himself.

"Not only that!" Chu Yue added, "Fighting with these ragtag monsters, it is impossible to show the true strength."

"!" The puppy Yasha immediately looked at Chu Yue and was stunned.

"If you want to become stronger," Chu Yue looked at the puppy Inu Yasha, and although she felt reluctant, she continued, "Go fight... This way, you can become stronger."

"…" Inuyasha clenched his fists, "I must become stronger!"

"That's great..." Chu Yue turned around so that the puppy Inuyasha wouldn't see his expression, "I'm leaving..."

“Wait, uncle!”

Chu Yue staggered, turned around and looked at the puppy Yasha with wide eyes, "Uncle, uncle?"

"Well... because my eldest brother said he was my father's friend... so I thought I should call him uncle..."

"No...just call me big brother..."

“Hmm? Is this okay?”

"Well... that's good..."

"Wouldn't this mess up the order of generations?"

“… Um… Who told you…”

“While in the castle…”

"It's okay... As a half-demon, you don't have to follow human rules..."

"Hmm..." The puppy Yasha looked at Chu Yue, "So, big brother, what's your name?"

"Me?" Chu Yue was a little surprised, thinking, by the way, I haven't told the puppy Yasha my name yet..."My name is Chu Yue!" After saying that, she teleported back to the Bone-Eating Well.

"Chu Yue, big brother..." The young Inu Yasha clenched his fists, "I will definitely become stronger!"

……

"Brother Chu Yue!" The next moment, Inuyasha shouted unconsciously.

"Huh?" Chu Yue looked at Inuyasha in surprise, then seemed to understand something and smiled with the same look that showed her concern for Inuyasha back then.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome was immediately shocked when Inuyasha suddenly called her like that, but when she saw Inuyasha's expression, she didn't say anything more.

Di Nian'er and his mother looked at Inuyasha and Chu Yue quietly. The other villagers were just background...

"You were, at that time!" Inuyasha shouted immediately.

"Haha, you finally remember it now?" Chu Yue smiled, "I thought you forgot it."

"How could I forget! Those things are..." Inuyasha suddenly fell silent, and then whispered to himself, "Those things have always been the reason why I pursue becoming stronger..."

Chu Yue smiled and reached out to touch Inuyasha's head, "What you are doing now will make you stronger than what you have done in the past two hundred years!"

"Really?" Inuyasha asked immediately, but then realized that Chu Yue was touching his head...

“Asshole! What are you doing!”

"What's wrong? I'm just showing my concern as an elder."
