The first ray of sunlight in the morning passes through the paper window and casts mottled light and shadow on the tatami.
Senju Chen opened his eyes, and there was no trace of sleepiness in those dark eyes, only the clarity after a night of deep thought. He listened carefully, and the whole mansion was so quiet that he could hear the sound of dust floating in the light beam.
This kind of silence was something he was not used to, because as long as Tsunade was at home, there would be the sounds of clinking wine bottles, the sound of drunken people sleeping soundly, and the nagging sounds that were a bit overbearing but extremely concerned.
Now, those voices have disappeared.
Silence has once again become synonymous with loneliness.
He stood up slowly, got dressed, and was about to go downstairs when a burst of noise came from the courtyard without warning, like a huge stone crashing into the calm lake.
"Minato! You idiot! Put that box carefully! Inside is my treasured ramen bowl!"
"Here, yes, move under the corridor! Be careful not to touch those pots of flowers, they are Sister Tsunade's favorite!"
"Oh, please walk slower!"
This full of vitality, full of vitality, and a somewhat unreasonable shout...
Senju Chen had a look of astonishment on his face. He quickly walked to the courtyard and took a look, and was immediately surprised.
In the courtyard, Kushina Uzumaki, who has eye-catching long red hair, has his hands on his hips, like the leader of Foreman, directing a blond young man to carry large and small boxes and packages.
And that blond young man was like a later porter of Lalamove, carrying several boxes of various sizes in his hands.
Sister Shizune was also standing aside, with a somewhat bewildered smile on his face, as if he wanted to help, but couldn't help.
"Sister Kushina? Brother Minato? What are you doing?"
Senju Chen shouted tentatively.
Kushina downstairs heard the sound and immediately raised his head. A bright smile instantly bloomed on his bright face. One second he was looking at Minato Namikaze with raised eyebrows, and the next second it turned into a spring breeze blowing on his face.
"Little Chen!"
She dropped the "project" she was directing, rushed into the entrance hall in three steps at a time, kicked off her shoes, and ran upstairs in a hurry.
"Let the teacher see if he has tanned or suffered any injuries after being out for so long." Kushina pulled Senju Chen over and looked him up and down, as if he wanted to check whether he was missing a hair.
"I'm fine, Sister Kushina." Senju Chen was a little helpless, but there was a warmth flowing through his heart.
"It's okay!" Kushina breathed a sigh of relief, then seemed to remember something, put his hands on his hips, and said angrily, "Tsunade That irresponsible guy! He left you alone in the village and ran away! She cried and asked me before she left, saying that she must move here to take care of you. I didn't want to agree at first, but because she was so pitiful, I reluctantly agreed!"
As she spoke, she secretly observed Senju Chen's expression with the corner of her eye, fearing that her words would make him sad.
Minato Namikaze who was following behind put down the box and added with a smile, "Lady Tsunade is worried that Little Chen you will be lonely alone, so please Kushina move here and live with you."
His voice is gentle and sincere, making people feel like spring breeze.
Senju Chen was stunned.
He lowered his head, his long eyelashes hiding the emotion in his eyes.
It turns out... even if my sister left, she still thought so much about him.
Shizune was left to take care of himself, and Kushina was also called over.
That sister who is always careless and addicted to gambling has such a delicate mind.
A warm current of sourness mixed with emotion suddenly surged into his nasal cavity.
sister...
He took a deep breath to suppress the surging emotions in his heart. However, when his eyes inadvertently fell on the gentle and handsome face of Minato Namikaze, a crazy idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
Now that Kushina has moved here...
Then Senju Chen doesn't need to guess. From now on, the frequent visitor to this house will definitely be Minato Namikaze.
He even felt that Minato Namikaze might come here more often than himself in the future, after all, he would often go out on missions in the future.
But there is one thing to say, won't I be able to see our future Lord Hokage more often in the future?
He just thought of replacing his skills last night.
The other party delivered it to your door today...
It's really hard to find anything even if you try hard to find it, and it takes no effort at all to get it!
This is a God-sent opportunity!
From now on, we will get along day and night, and we will have countless opportunities to observe and stimulate our future Fourth Hokage!
I still don't know how far the Rasengan developed by the other party has progressed, but we have prepared a big surprise for you.
At that moment, the loss and emptiness caused by Tsunade's departure seemed to be diluted by this huge surprise.
An uncontrollable excitement rose from deep in his heart, almost making him laugh out loud on the spot.
The dead Senju mansion seemed to have been injected with hot blood called "life" in an instant.
At the breakfast table, Senju Chen and Shizune were no longer eating quietly.
"Minato! Pass me the plate of omelettes!"
"Little Chen, eat more of this and you will grow stronger!"
"Shizune, your cooking is so good, it tastes much better than mine!"
Kushina alone can create as much excitement as ten people.
While she was eating the rice, she kept picking up the dishes for Senju Chen and Minato, waving her chopsticks in the air, and chirping various anecdotes about the village.
"Little Chen, this Tamagoyaki, Shizune's craftsmanship is amazing, try it quickly! Eat more, it's the time to grow taller!"
"Minato! Don't just drink the soup, pass over the plate of grilled fish!"
Minato Namikaze looked at her with a smile, letting her command go. He looked at Kushina from time to time, with tenderness almost overflowing from his eyes. He picked up the plate of grilled fish, carefully picked out the fish bones, and put the fattest piece of fish belly into the Kushina bowl. The whole movement was smooth and smooth, and he was obviously used to it.
Shizune sat next to him, watching this noisy and warm scene. His face, which had originally looked pale due to Tsunade's departure, finally gained a touch of rosiness, revealing a heartfelt smile.
Senju Chen obediently ate the vegetables piled in the bowl, feeling the long-lost smoke of fireworks in front of him.
This is what home feels like.
If my sister were still here, she would probably think Sister Kushina was too noisy...
Senju Chen's thoughts drifted away, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Huh? Who could it be?" Kushina poked his head curiously.
Shizune put down the dishes and went to Gate of Opening, and found two ninjas, one old and one young, standing outside the door.
It is Senju Chen's teammates, Maruboshi Kosuke and Shisui Uchiha.
Yesterday, Uchiha Fugaku specially called Shisui over and told him to come and visit Senju Chen. What he meant was that Lady Tsunade had left the village and Senju was in a weak lineage. Uchiha should express "sympathies" and get closer to each other.
Shisui is not too fond of this kind of family politics, but he is really worried about Senju Chen. After much deliberation, he decided to bring Grandpa Kosuke along with him.
There is power in numbers, and the same goes for comforting people.
When Maruboshi Kosuke was approached by Shisui Uchiha, after listening to the child's ideas, he immediately agreed. He also wanted to come and see how the child Chen was doing.
"Grandpa Kosuke, Shisui?"
Senju Chen was quite surprised when he saw the person coming. He stood up quickly and said, "Why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Maruboshi Kosuke and Shisui Uchiha walked into the entrance. Before they had time to change their shoes, they were stunned by the lively scene coming from the restaurant.
This... is completely different from the deserted and sad Senju mansion in your imagination?
Shisui even brought up a box of the famous three-color meatballs in the clan. Holding it in his hand at the moment, it felt a bit redundant.
"Oh? He's a guest, here to see Little Chen!"
Kushina said vaguely with a rice ball stuffed in his mouth.
Shisui Uchiha was choked by her, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his handsome face, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
He can't say, "My clan leader asked me to come to comfort you," right?
Seeing this, Senju Chen quickly smoothed things over and introduced with a smile, "Sister Kushina, these are my teammates, grandpas Shisui Uchiha and Maruboshi Kosuke, they came here specially to see me."
As he said that, he gave Shisui a wink.
Shisui reacted immediately and quickly handed over the snack box in his hand, saying nervously, "Chen, I heard that Lady Tsunade left the village. We... we were worried about you, so we came to take a look. This is a little bit of my thoughts."
Minato Namikaze stood up at the right time and smiled gently, "He is a teammate of Little Chen. Please come in quickly. We will have breakfast together."
In one sentence, this little disturbance was resolved into nothingness.
Maruboshi Kosuke smiled and waved his hand, "No, we have already eaten."
His eyes fell on Senju Chen, and when he saw that he looked good and his eyes were bright, he was completely relieved.
It seems that with adults Kushina and Lord Minato here, even if Princess Tsunade leaves, this child will not be alone.
