CHAPTER 11: Uzumaki Mito

"Come on! Tell me! Do my feet still stink!?"

  Tsunade's fierce voice came from the forest, but it was inexplicably shaking.

  {It's so comfortable to have your feet pressed!}

  Although this sigh was hidden deep in Tsunade's heart and not revealed, Chiba guessed everything through Tsunade's trembling eyes and red face.

  "It's not bad, keep up the good work."

  Chiba smiled slightly, "But you specifically washed your feet today, right?"

  As she spoke, Tsunade inexplicably felt a little embarrassed.

  "No, isn't washing your feet something you do every day? There's nothing worth stressing about, right?"

  Tsunade spoke with a cold face, but she was panicking in her heart.

  "It's actually a normal thing, but based on what happened yesterday, I have reason to suspect that you don't wash your feet every day."

  "Nonsense, I wash my feet every day!"

Tsunade tried to pull his feet away, but Chiba held him back, his grip was so firm that Tsunade couldn't free herself.

  "That's impossible to say." Chiba's conspiracy succeeded.

"To urge you to wash your feet every day, I will do it to the end and check for you every day."

  "Um..."

  Tsunade replied. But his tone was a little weak. In her heart, she really couldn't resist Chiba massaging her feet.

  Who would refuse something so comfortable?

  "I am doing good deeds and ask that you wash your feet every day to avoid foot odor."

  Chiba responded seriously, so seriously that Tsunade even believed it.

  However, Tsunade didn't respond, but turned her head and stopped looking at Chiba. But she secretly placed her left leg on Chiba's lap and kept swinging her left foot.

  Chiba laughed and naturally reached out to remove the clog from Tsunade's left foot. At the same time, she also took off the ninja fishnet stockings wrapped around her left foot.

  I have to say, it's a shame I can't wear fishnets with me.

  Shooting his bows left and right, Chiba was happy, and Tsunade also raised her head with a look of joy and narrowed her bright brown eyes.

  Not knowing what he thought, Tsunade curled her lips with a happy expression on her face.

  Chiba didn't ask, and the two just remained silent. The only sounds left were Chiba rubbing his feet and Tsunade's breathing movements that gradually became disordered.

  "It's getting dark."

  When the sunset was halfway over the horizon, Tsunade remembered with a look of pity on her face.

  "Yes, time flies so fast."

Chiba also sighed and patted Tsunade's little feet.

  Tsunade cooperated by pulling her legs, sitting down and putting on her shoes and socks.

  "Remember to wash your feet tomorrow, and I will check if your feet smell."

  "Hmph!"

  Tsunade raised her head and looked at Chiba who had already gotten up, Tsunade quickly put on her sandals and socks, and followed Chiba out of the forest.

  "Take some candy out of my pocket."

  After leaving the forest, Chiba asked Tsunade.

  "Don't you have hands of your own?" Tsunade seemed reluctant, just talking but not moving.

  "How can I take the candy wrapper off if I just touched your smelly feet?"

  "That's right..." Tsunade nodded, and in the next second she was furious again, "Who do you think has smelly feet?

  "hurry up! I need a piece of candy, I can't help it anymore."

  "You're the one who interrupted me!"

  "Huh?"

  Accompanied by Tsunade's soft sound, Chiba suddenly leaned forward, and her butt moved back a lot.

  "Hiss...wrong, another fluff!"

  "Oh."

  Tsunade didn't know why.

  Looking at Chiba, Tsunade pouted, with some discontent in her eyes, feeling that Chiba was secretly hiding something.

  Meeting Tsunade's gaze, Chiba's eyes were also very strange. She really wanted to ask Tsunade if she was stupid. Isn't it clear that the hand looks different?

  Fortunately, after changing the pocket, Tsunade finally didn't make a mistake. She took two pieces of candy, ate one alone, took the wrapper off the other and put it in Chiba's mouth.   

  At this time, Chiba straightened up and showed no other strange signs, pulling Tsunade on the way home.

  The two didn't talk or laugh along the way, but they communicated a lot, but most of them were Chiba asking questions and Tsunade answering.

  Furthermore, the questions asked by Chiba were all about ninjutsu knowledge. Tsunade quickly assumed the role of "sensei" and knew everything about Chiba.

  The trip was originally quite long, but Chiba felt that it was a little too short now. He arrived at Tsunade's door before even asking a few questions.

  "Goodbye Tsunade."

  "Goodbye Chiba."

  The two said goodbye and Chiba continued walking.

  But soon after walking less than 30 meters, Tsunade came back and appeared at the door of her house. "Chiba!" Tsunade placed her hands in the shape of a trumpet and shouted, "Come here, my grandmother wants to see you!"

  Chiba paused.

{Isn't Tsunade's grandmother Uzumaki Mito, Senju Hashirama's wife?}

  Immediately, Chiba felt a little dizzy and wanted to run away, but her heart was pounding.

  After thinking for a while, Chiba took a deep breath and turned to go back the same way.

  "Erm Tsunade...what does your grandma want from me?"

  "I do not know either." Tsunade shook her head, "I don't usually see Grandma talking to strangers, but you seem to be an exception."

  Chiba felt helpless, but still followed Tsunade home.

  As soon as she entered the house, Chiba felt completely uncomfortable. Although she couldn't see anyone, she felt as if there were needles in her back and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

  "Chiba, what's wrong with you?"

  "It's nothing. I just think your family is so hospitable... I feel a little flattered."

  "My uncles are very hospitable and treat me very well."

  But upon hearing Tsunade's words, Chiba's heart froze again.

  {Tsunade is the little princess of the Senju clan, I just stirred up a hornet's nest! }

  The more his aunts and uncles like Tsunade, the more they will want to kill him quickly...

  It's so hard!

  Regardless of what Chiba was thinking, Tsunade led him to the door of Uzumaki Mito's room with a bound.

  "Grandma, Chiba is here."

  "Don't let guests stay at the door. Bring them inside and let me have a look.

  "Hello Grandma!"

  Chiba's face was full of seriousness and she didn't lose her etiquette. She bent at a perfect 90° angle as soon as she walked through the door.

  "Okay, okay, Chiba."

  Uzumaki Mito really has no airs. When Chiba straightened up, he raised his hand and gestured for Chishima Chiba to come closer to her.

  When Chiba approached, Mito looked up and down, and her somewhat blurred eyes shone slightly.

  "Good boy, you are so beautiful."

  With a slight compliment, Mito took Chiba's hand and, just as he was about to say something else, his expression suddenly froze.

  The joy in her eyes slowly disappeared and her eyes became more curious.

  "Chiba, your surname is Chishima, right? What is your mother's original surname?"

  Although Mito seemed to be talking about everything, Chiba realized that the subject was not simple and her heart beat even faster.

  "Grandma, my mother passed away early and I don't know much about her."

  Chiba could only say this, but Mito had no intention of stopping there.

  "Is there any known person among your ancestors?"

  "I don't know very well. But I remember my father talking about an ancestor when I was very young."

"I also remember my father said it would be good if my hair color was red."
