Chapter 12 - Overnight Stay at Tsunade's House

Some of the nonsense that Chishima Chiba said seemed to come true when they fell into Uzumaki Mito's ears.

  It's not that Uzumaki Mito is easy to fool, but Chishima Chiba's body has already proved it all.

  Lies can deceive people, but the body cannot. At least in Uzumaki Mito's perception, Chishima Chiba's physique is infinitely close to that of Uzumaki or the Senju clan.

  If his ancestors did not have the blood of Uzumaki or Senju, Chishima Chiba's physical constitution would definitely not make Uzumaki Mito feel friendly.

  The previous household registration check was just to confirm whether the blood flowing in Chishima Chiba's body was from the Senju clan or the Uzumaki clan.

  After all, the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan are both inheritors of the "Immortal Body" lineage. Although their physiques are different, they are basically the same, making it difficult to distinguish them.

  As for the issue of the Uzumaki clan's bloodline flowing out, Uzumaki Mito would not think about it too much, let alone delve into it.

  Because in the Warring States Period, various tribes migrated frequently. Not only the Uzumaki tribe, but even the Senju tribe would experience blood loss during the migration.

  There is a lot of blood flowing out, but the blood that can reach the concentration level of Chishima Chiba is rare.

  It is precisely because of this that Uzumaki Mito looks at Chishima Chiba differently.

  If before it was just pure curiosity, wanting to meet Tsunade's new opposite-sex playmate, then now Uzumaki Mito treats Chishima Chiba like a half-relative.

  Besides this, Uzumaki Mito had other ideas.

  After chatting about family matters for a while, Uzumaki Mito picked up a messy ball of wool from the bedside and looked at Chishima Chiba with a smile.

  "Qianye, grandma's eyesight isn't very good. I can't untie this ball of yarn. Can you help me?"

  "Okay grandma."

  Chishima and Chiba had no objection, but Tsunade on the side spoke up.

  "Grandma, how long has this ball of yarn been here? Why haven't you untied it yet?"

  Chishima Chiba looked up and glanced at Tsunade.

  But before Tsunade could continue, Uzumaki Mito took over the conversation, "It's just that you don't have patience. If you had patience, would grandma have to wait so long? And there would be no need to trouble Chiba-chan."

  Uzumaki Mito shifted his gaze away from Tsunade's unconvinced little face and looked back at Chishima Chiba who was lowering his head and patiently untying the knot of thread.

  "Chiba, solve it carefully and patiently. Don't be afraid of trouble." Uzumaki Mito warned meaningfully.

  "I will, grandma."

  Chishima Chiba answered without even raising his head, knowing in his heart that this was an opportunity, and he became more serious and meticulous.

  Uzumaki Mito looked down at Chishima Chiba, a smile broke out on his wrinkled face, and he pulled Tsunade over to the side, and the grandmother and grandson started to make a noise.

  The laughter of the grandfather and grandson had some impact on Chishima Chiba, but this source of interference was not a problem at all for Chishima Chiba. He didn't have much else but a lot of patience.

  After about two hours, Chishima Chiba's neck was sore, and he finally untied the ball of wool one by one and placed them clearly together.

  Uzumaki Mito also stopped talking with Tsunade at this time, and looked at Chishima Chiba with a smile in his eyes, "Chiba is a patient child, much better than Tsunade. If she wasn't so impatient, this ball of yarn of mine would have been untied long ago."

  "Grandma, you are too kind. After spending the past two days with Tsunade, I found that he actually has a good personality."

  Chishima Chiba leaned towards Tsunade, which made Tsunade smile. She even pointed at Chishima Chiba and raised her eyebrows at Uzumaki Mito.

  Uzumaki Mito ignored Tsunade, "I know Tsunade's temper better than anyone else. She won't change unless she encounters some setbacks."

  Tsunade was a little unconvinced, "Grandma!"

  "See, this is her temper. She can't be suppressed." Uzumaki Mito teased, causing Tsunade to stomp her feet repeatedly and then she snuggled into Uzumaki Mito's arms and rocked repeatedly.

  Chishima Chiba looked at the harmonious scene between the grandparents and grandchildren, and grinned and smiled, occasionally making eye contact with Tsunade.

  After a short episode, Uzumaki Mito did not put away the ball of yarn that Chishima Chiba had untied. Instead, she stood up and led Tsunade and Chishima Chiba out.

  "It's so late, you two must be hungry."

  "Xiao Qianye, there's no need to rush back. Just eat here tonight. It won't be too late to leave after eating."

  "Listen to grandma."

  Chishima Chiba did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

  "Okay, okay, since Xiao Qianye is so obedient, then when you have time in the future, come over and accompany grandma and chat with her more often."  

  "Yes, I will, grandma. I hope you don't mind."

  Chishima Chiba was surprisingly serious, completely different from his usual self when he was with Tsunade, which made Tsunade, who was standing by, marvel at the sight.

  After going around to Chiba Chishima's side, Tsunade circled around him and said, "Chiba, you're not usually like this, right?"

  "I've always been like this, okay?"

  "No, you're not." Tsunade interrupted, "You can usually... um... can..."

  Tsunade thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't find the words to describe it. She remembered that her little face was puffed up and she glared at Chishima Chiba.

  Uzumaki Mito was watching happily from the side, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.

  Having followed Senju Hashirama in military service for half of her life, Uzumaki Mito is undoubtedly a shrewd person. In fact, she can see through Chishima Chiba's true nature at a glance without Tsunade having to ruin her.

  Although he is cunning, he is not bad. He is smart and has some tricks, but he uses them in the right places, and it is harmless to cross the line occasionally.

  The most important thing is that Uzumaki Mito can see that Chishima Chiba really likes this little girl Tsunade.

  "Tsunade, Chiba-chan is the guest today, please be a little more careful."

  Uzumaki Mito spoke, calling Tsunade back from Chishima Chiba, and started walking again, leading the two of them to the dinner place.

  There was no need for Uzumaki Mito to give any instructions. The Senju clan member who was responsible for taking care of Uzumaki Mito's daily life in the mansion prepared all the meals.

  Adding an extra pair of chopsticks is just a small matter, and there is no need to make things difficult for Chishima and Chiba.

  Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. Chishima Chiba chatted with Uzumaki Mito for a while before getting up and preparing to say goodbye and leave.

  "Grandma, it's very late, and I have to go to school tomorrow, so... I have to go back first."

  Chishima Chiba stood up and bowed, but Uzumaki Mito didn't want to let Chishima Chiba leave.

  The main reason is that Chishima Chiba is such a good talker. Uzumaki Mito is quite happy with him and seems to never want to chat with him enough.

  "It's so late, it's not safe for you to go back alone, so stay here tonight."

  "Ah?" Chishima Chiba was shocked.

  "Chiba-chan isn't happy about it?" Uzumaki Mito frowned. "It seems like I, an old woman, am overthinking. Since you don't want to..."

  "Grandma, you're joking. I'm not unwilling, I'm just too happy, so I'm... a little flattered."

  Chishima Chiba scratched his head and said, "I love chatting with grandma the most, especially the stories you told me. I never get tired of listening to them."

  Sitting down again, Chishima Chiba started talking, "Grandma, please continue with the last story. I haven't heard enough."

  "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

  Chishima Chiba is a very good listener and a good supporting actor. He doesn't talk much, but every word he says touches Uzumaki Mito's heart.

  This is incredible...

  Uzumaki Mito kept chattering and didn't want to stop, which made Tsunade so sleepy that she kept dozing off.

  "Grandma..." Tsunade couldn't hold it in any longer, "Let's go to bed. You and Chiba can talk tomorrow. I'll bring him over tomorrow."

  Smacking his lips with some regret, Uzumaki Mito stopped talking, "When you get old, you talk a lot. That's all for today. Tsunade, take Chiba to rest."

  "Oh." Tsunade nodded dazedly, and only reacted suddenly when she climbed down from Uzumaki Mito's arms.

  "I take him?" Tsunami pointed at Chiba, then at himself, "Take him to my room?"

  "What are you thinking, silly girl!"

  Uzumaki Mito patted Tsunade lightly, "Isn't there an empty room next to your house? Take Chiba over there to check it out. That house will be his from now on."

  Tsunade suddenly felt relieved, and a flash of sadness appeared in Chishima Chiba's eyes, but she was also quite content.

  I didn't expect that I would become neighbors with Tsunade so soon.

  What is this?

  Childhood sweethearts!
