Not long after, Butterfly and Taohua came back with hot meals and hot water.

Butterfly is anxious and urges Taohua to hurry up. Taohua was impatient by her urging, so she jumped up to the second floor with someone in her arms. But the human voice came from the bottom floor.

"Butterfly, Taohua."

"We are here~"

Izayoi smiled at them under the window, and Hashirama sat cross-legged next to her, smiling and waving to them.

The wooden window panels were opened, and the sound of rain rustled, but not a trace came in.

"Ji Jun! You're awake!"

The butterfly was fluttering to get down. Taohua rolled her eyes and easily jumped over the railing.

"I'm scared to death! Why does this happen again? Is the bedding too thin? I'll replace it with a new one for you right away."

"No. The windows were not closed before going to bed, and a bit of cold air came in, so I felt a little uncomfortable. Could you please help me clean that room? I'm a little tired tonight."

Izayoi comforted her warmly and assigned some things to keep her busy. When you are busy, you won’t think about it.

Butterfly wiped away her tears, took out a rope from under the counter, wrapped it around her ribs, fixed the sleeves firmly on her upper arms, and then tied a bow on her back.

"Leave it to me! Make sure to clean it thoroughly!"

"Then please leave it to my eldest sister!"

Izayoi imitated Hirata's tone and joked with her. Butterfly was finally amused, pouted proudly, and bumped Taohua with his shoulder before leaving.

Taohua ignored her with a straight face. The clan leader hadn't spoken yet, so her legs were shaking a little while standing.

Behind Izayoi, who could not see him, Hashirama stared at Mooka meaningfully, glanced at the roof, and shook his head slightly.

Taohua was already ready to jump up to repair the roof. When she saw him shaking his head, he just sank his feet and stepped firmly on it.

its not right! Does this mean - not repairing the roof?

Hashirama sometimes pouted, sometimes frowned, with colorful expressions like he was in a meeting.

Taohua asked with hidden gestures: Do something?

Hashirama: No!

Taohua: Don’t care?

Hashirama: Of course I have to take care of it!

What the hell is going on! Taohua has dead fish eyes.

If it weren't for the clan leader... her, she would write a letter to Lord Tobirama tomorrow morning to complain. Lord Hashirama interfered with her work!

"Momohana-kun."

"exist!"

Izayoi looked up at the roof and asked in an uncertain tone: "Is the leak on the roof serious?"

"I'll go repair it right away!" After saying that, Taohua was very motivated and wanted to go up.

Izayoi stopped her and said with an embarrassed smile: "You are already wet and I still need to trouble you. Maybe you can put on your poncho first before going? If you need any tools, I will find them for you."

At this time, Hashirama leaned into her ear and whispered: "The poncho was worn by Hirata."

ah? It wouldn't be good for Taohua to work in the rain.

Seeing her hesitate, Hashirama smiled proudly. It's finally his turn to appear!

"Just let me do this! Momoka, take Izayoi to take a bath. I can fix it right away!"

Really?

Izayoi looked at him suspiciously.

Hashirama patted his chest to confirm, helped the person up and pushed him towards Taohua. After Mookaxu vouched for the clan leader, Izayoi felt a little relieved.

It's not that she can't trust Hashirama, it's just that in her impression, his Wood Release scale has never been small. If he was really allowed to act freely, would it make the hole in the roof even bigger?

Go around the stairs to the second floor, where a hot water bucket is placed at the door of Butterfly's bedroom. Thick white steam emanated from the barrel, soaking the handle until it glowed.

Taohua held one hand in each hand and straightened her back easily. If I remember correctly, Butterfly and Hirata had to use their strength to lift a barrel of this size.

"As expected of a ninja." Izayoi sighed.

"What's so good about ninjas? You think too highly of us."

The same goes for Butterfly, and so does Ji Jun. They both spoke highly of ninjas. Taohua couldn't understand it and could only attribute it to a weak woman's yearning for powerful power.

Maybe they feel that with strong force, everything can change for the better. But it's no use. Not to mention that she also has a lot of troubles, just look at the ninja clan.

Are ninjas strong, Senju strong, Uchiha strong?

Ninjas can fly to the sky and escape from the ground, their thousand hands are as powerful as mountains, and Uchiha's Sharingan can be opened at will regardless of gender or age.

But are they living happily? Not as good as ordinary people, who might live to see their grandchildren at random.

Even adults as powerful as Buddha could not live to see their children grow up.

She sincerely hopes that this gentle Lord Ji can live a smooth life until old age. Don't be like yourself, a murderer who will die at the hands of others sooner or later. And that dead duck with a tough mouth, Butterfly, guarding her izakaya and turning into a toothless old woman!

Nothing is better than staying alive.

There is a big bathtub in Butterfly's house. After pouring all the hot water into it, it is only a third of the way. The boiling heat has little effect on her, but Ji Jun's skin and tender flesh must not be washed so hot.

Fortunately, this house had a window facing the backyard. Taohua jumped down and picked up two more buckets of cold water, pouring them all in at once.

She leaned forward and tested the water temperature. She nodded with satisfaction, turned around and shouted: "It's almost done. Ji Jun, you can take off your clothes..."

There was no other person in the room except herself.

Taohua went crazy, why something went wrong again.

She ran out to find someone, but she saw Izayoi leaning on the railing, looking up at the hole in the roof. There was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound on the roof, as the clan leader was repairing the roof.

Izayoi shouted worriedly: "If you really can't see it, come down and repair it again during the day tomorrow."

The sound of urn and urn came in from outside the roof. “What should I do if the house is flooded?”

"Get a bucket and continue."

"Hahahaha. That's not okay. Last time a corner of the table was knocked off, and you were so distressed that you beat me up. Now if the floor is soaked, I won't be able to kneel down at the gate to apologize."

"I promise I will never hit you again. If not, come down."

"Hey! A man can't say no! He still has to fix it today."

This guy doesn't listen to others! Izayoi was so angry that he slapped the railing. The slap was so strong that the palm of my hand still hurt a little. hateful!

Momoka sighed and advised: "You go and wash up first. Have some confidence in Lord Hashirama. He must be fine."

More than okay? That guy can run hundreds of miles in the snow and have nothing to do. All he needs to do is repair a roof, which can be repaired in the blink of an eye. The reason why I haven't come down for so long is simply because I want to enjoy the feeling of being cared for more.

Taohua rolled her eyes and pushed the person into the house, sending him into the steaming tub in three strokes.

It was much hotter than the hot water Butterfly had prepared, but it was just right for Izayoi.

She sighed comfortably, leaned against the tub and started scrubbing.

"Do you need help?"

"I can do it myself."

In a short time, Izayoi finished washing and was ready to get dressed.

Taohua poured out all the water in the bucket. When she came back, she was already wiping her hair.

"I really can't see it."

"what happened?"

"I thought it would take a long time."

"Does Mr. Ji here take a long time to bathe?"

"I don't know. They won't let ninjas get too close. The maids are responsible for these things."

"Everyone's habits are different."

Izayoi put down the cloth in his hand, and his wet hair spread over his shoulders. The white lining was wetted by water vapor and became slightly transparent, revealing part of its soft texture.

Taohua couldn't help but look up at the sky. She would be happier if someone were here.

"I'm a little embarrassed to always have to let Momoka-kun adapt to me. Maybe you'd rather go out to the streets to show off your abilities? Tamako and the others are still young after all, and adults may not listen to them."

"This……"

Taohua hesitated.

Before today, she would have insisted on staying by Ji Jun's side. In addition to Uchiha, even Nara in the west appeared on this street. She had to watch a little more. Women are always more convenient.

But Lord Hashirama is here tonight, will the clan leader let her stay? Especially if you make a mistake.

"If I'm worried about what happened before, I have to apologize to you. Because it's just a minor problem, but the incident suddenly scared you."

"No! I left the illusion trigger in the room. It was originally intended to be a protective effect..."

Taohua couldn't argue anymore. She can put the illusion outside the window, just take one more step. Still not well thought out. Damn it! That guy from Butterfly got it right.

"Is that so..."

Izayoi was silent for a while and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, I discovered the fatal weakness in advance. I will be particularly careful next time I encounter a similar situation. What is the name of that technique?"

Taohua is a little confused, does the illusion need to be named? Aren't they all about disturbing the senses and scaring people?

"If it doesn't have a name yet, let me give it a name. Just think of it as Moohua-kun to compensate me!" Izayoi suggested enthusiastically.

"...please."

It must not be something like Taijutsu Mystery, Super Fire Release, Illusion Slash, Great Shuriken, and Double Knockdown Technique.

It can easily bring back the most fearful memories buried deep in the heart, and the power of illusion is more powerful than originally imagined. It's really a weapon that kills people invisible. No wonder so many people were afraid of Uchiha's eyes.

"If there are ghosts in the heart, ghosts will come. If there are no ghosts in the heart, people will be at peace."

Izayoi slowly moved the beads on his wrist.

The beads were not removed when washing, which shows that they are important to Jijun.

Taohua kept this in mind.

"But there are no ghosts here, but there are rumors that monsters can be found through the fox window. Otherwise, it is called the 'sense of seeing in the fox's mind'."

Izayoi lowered his eyes slightly, with a compassionate expression. Holding a Buddhist bead and sitting cross-legged, Taohua seemed to be seeing the incense statue enshrined by the clan.

She recited Buddhist verses in a low voice that others could not understand, as if she was lost in her own thoughts again.

"Nothing is true, and it is impossible to see the true. If you see the true, it is not true at all. If you look for the true, you will not move, and you will not move when you move. Being immobile is immovable, and there is no real seed for being emotionless. Sentence is the solution to movement. To be ruthless is to be immovable. If one cannot practice cultivation, it is the same as being ruthless and immovable..."

The water vapor in the room gradually solidified with her vague words. Taohua breathed hard, feeling even more suffocating than in front of the steam barrel.

Ji Jun didn't know what he thought of, but the aura he exuded even calmed her down.

Although it was inappropriate, Taohua once again recalled the instructions of the two adults before departure, especially the patriarch.

"Try to stay by her side, but don't interfere too much~"

Oh his size!

The door opened with a bang, and Hashirama burst in happily.

"It's fixed!"

Izayoi, who was almost in trance, was interrupted from his thoughts and stood up to smile at him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hashirama-kun..."

Hashirama strode forward, held her hand, and added with a smile: "Hashirama, let's call him Hashirama."

His arrival caused the frozen atmosphere in the room to flow again, allowing Taohua to breathe and become vigilant in defense.

This Ji Jun is no ordinary person! This strange force suppresses people and prevents them from moving. The patriarch must be warned!

Hashirama gestured with his back to her, Momohua gritted her teeth, and finally smiled and greeted her.

"It's getting late. Ji-kun has to rest. Lord Hashirama, look..."

Hashirama turned around, very puzzled. Didn't he ask her to leave first?

Taohua bravely stood behind Ji Jun and whispered, "It's time for you to rest. You have to go to the outer streets tomorrow."

Her words were all for Izayoi's sake, and she was immediately convinced.

"What you said makes sense. Let's squeeze in with the butterflies tonight. There are three girls, and there is no need to shy away. Hashirama-kun, Hashirama, please choose a guest room and rest first. After tomorrow, I will find a way to arrange it. Your accommodation.”

Hashirama waved his hands carelessly to show that he didn't need to worry about him. Before exiting, he winked at Taohua meaningfully.

Taohua closed her eyes and pretended not to see anything.

Now that we know there is danger, we must of course obey Tobirama-sama's instructions and not put the clan leader in danger. It's not that the weak Ji Jun has harmful intentions, but she will never let the two of them go further until they find out!

Even if Hashirama-sama cries and acts, it won’t work!
