Chapter 170 White Comfort
Chapter 170 White Comfort
On the other side, in the former Senju clan territory, Tsunade stared at her eldest and second grandmothers, who were still young and in their prime, lost in thought.
What do you mean they not only survived, but the eldest mistress even married Ningxia?!
"Tsunade, you've grown so much... You... know Ningxia... and... you even learned gambling from me..."
Hashirama's tone gradually shifted from nonchalant to guilty. She knew all too well how much Ningxia hated gambling, and that Tsunade had learned to gamble from her.
Oh no, will Ningxia be angry about this? Will they have to kneel on cacti? What if they get too angry...?
It seems pretty good?
"Tsunade..."
Tobirama was also in an awkward position. Fortunately, Tsunade was not related to them by blood. Although they were from the same clan, their blood ties were far removed.
"Please stop talking, I need some peace and quiet."
Tsunade covered her face in thought. Who was she? Where was she? What was the meaning of human existence?
"Grandma, Second Grandma, um..."
Just as Nawaki was about to say something to the two women, Hashirama raised his hand to refuse, indicating that he was going to find Ningxia and that they should go do what they were supposed to do.
"..."
Nawaki was almost depressed; it seemed that even his own grandson wasn't as favored as Tsunade.
"Nawaki, live a good life, and don't let your children take the surname Senju."
Tobirama reminded Nawaki that she didn't think there was anything wrong with disbanding the Senju clan; in fact, this was the only way to ensure that the Senju clan would forever remain part of Konoha.
"Yes……"
Rope Tree now wants to go and cry to Ningxia. He feels that in the entire Leaf Village, only Ningxia is like his own brother.
Madara and Izuna curiously surveyed the Uchiha clan's territory. Decades had passed, and during that time, the Uchiha had been expelled from their original clan.
Now, this place is completely different from what they remembered, and Fugaku, the guide, is already drenched in sweat.
Shisui had brought two Uchiha women back, and he was puzzled as to why they looked so familiar, and he even wanted to put on airs as the former clan leader.
Then Shisui said, "She is Uchiha Madara, she is Uchiha Izuna."
This frightened Fugaku so much that he knelt down. Looking at the two people in front of him who were trying so hard to be kind, he felt like an unfilial son and grandson.
Then, Shisui wanted to go find Ningxia, so he entrusted Fugaku with the task of showing the two girls around New Konoha.
"The Uchiha have changed a lot."
Izuna said softly that in her memory, the Uchiha clan didn't have many tall buildings; they mostly lived in low-rise buildings.
Fugaku explained that the Uchiha population had surged during this period, but according to clan rules, the Uchiha were not allowed to move away from the clan territory, and the surrounding areas were extremely valuable...
"So rigid! Our clansmen should have their own lives too. If they want to move out, then they should. How come you young people aren't as open-minded as I am?"
Madara's comments were dissatisfying, but she had learned these words from Ningxia. Although she didn't understand them at the time, she understood them after learning that the Uchiha clan was almost wiped out.
The Uchiha clan's strict adherence to the purity of their bloodline, yet their eventual gathering together, is clearly just a prelude to their enemies sharpening their knives.
You don't even need to look at the family tree to kill them; you can kill anyone who's on the family land.
"Yes……"
The former head of the Uchiha clan, once a powerful figure, was now being scolded by the two women, unable to lift his head. He felt incredibly bitter inside, thinking, "Clan head, you've really given me a huge problem."
"Ban~ Let's go find Ningxia!"
Before going to Ningxia, Hashirama made sure to call Madara first.
"That's settled then, we have more important things to do."
Upon hearing that they were going to find Ningxia, Madara didn't care about Fugaku anymore and prepared to follow Hashirama to find Ningxia.
"You know Ningxia, huh...?"
Fugaku blurted out something without thinking, but was immediately reprimanded by Izuna in an annoyed tone: "What right do you have to call yourself Ningxia? He's your great-grandfather!"
"……what?"
On this day, Fugaku felt that his worldview had been completely shattered.
In the end, Ningxia's house was filled with women, including Hashirama and Madara from the past, as well as Naruto, Zuoyue, and others from the present.
But one thing is certain: the Uchiha clan is the most numerous.
Ningxia~
The women stared at Ningxia, their feelings incredibly complex, but most of all, they were relieved that Ningxia had finally returned.
"Anyway... I can explain..."
Ningxia's tone softened, and her smile seemed forced. This was the terrible mess she had created!
But there's nothing I can do; after all, I brought this on myself, so I can only grit my teeth and bear it.
However, there were at least a few normal women among them, and they would still help stop or suppress the other women.
After dealing with everyone, Ningxia lay on the tatami mat, almost burned to ashes. Naruko was still by Ningxia's side, holding her tightly even when she was falling asleep.
"Lord Ningxia, would you like a cup of chrysanthemum tea?"
Bai, barefoot, gently stepped onto the tatami mat and handed Ningxia a cup of warm chrysanthemum tea.
"Thanks."
Ningxia felt gratified looking at Bai; at least Bai was obedient and sensible, which relieved him of any pressure.
"Lord Ningxia... You've worked so hard, always working so hard for everyone."
Bai Qingqing moved closer to Ningxia. There was no gravity on her body, only pure gentleness. Her beautiful eyes were full of affection, but she did not make Ningxia feel pressured.
Treated gently by the girl, Ningxia gradually relaxed. After experiencing so much chaos, she managed to suppress many of the things that had happened.
However, these pressures are still not easy to bear.
Thankfully, there's still white.
"Rest in my heart. I will take good care of Lord Ningxia for everyone."
Bai gently put his arm around Ningxia's neck. The girl's faint fragrance was refreshing and made people relax involuntarily.
"Come on, rest here for a while. Naruko is already resting, you should get some sleep too."
Bai spoke softly, gently rubbing his chin against Ningxia's hair, just like when Ningxia had once held him in her arms to comfort him, telling her that he was not a tool, but a living, breathing person.
Goodnight, Bai.
Goodnight, Lord Ningxia.
Bai Wenrou gently hugged Ningxia's head, letting him rest his head on her lap. She lowered her beautiful eyes and gazed tenderly at Ningxia, involuntarily reminiscing about the past.
In the snowy land of water, she sat alone by the bridge, feeling cold and hungry. She missed her mother and regretted having her ninjutsu talent discovered.
At that time, Ningxia appeared. It was the first time Bai had seen such a handsome man. She was momentarily stunned. When she came to her senses, there was a piece of still warm bread in front of her.
Ningxia treated her very well. She not only took her to the orphanage to take a bath, but also spoke with the director there to let her stay and live there.
Bai simply wanted to stay by Ningxia's side, even if only as a tool.
After demonstrating her medical talent through hard work, she finally convinced Ningxia and ended up following her until they settled down in Konoha.
Now, Lord Ningxia has finally returned.
