Chapter 139 You guys aren't... you know..., are you?
“I…I don’t know how to express my gratitude. If we were in the village, we would definitely be better off.” Wang Shan lowered his eyelids, his expression looking conflicted.
Deep down, he was unwilling to simply represent the Hatake clan or anything like that.
The so-called Hatake clan is just a title; he doesn't actually have the qualifications to join Konoha. At least, he believes that this spot is extremely valuable.
With each new family joining the village, the number of things to coordinate increases dramatically. They now only have the father and his two sons; how can they possibly own any so-called clan land within the village?
"Uncle Wangshan, don't overthink it. Our Uchiha clan will provide you with assistance and help you build your own house," Yan Yi assured him, patting his chest.
Although the Hatake clan is currently in dire straits, it has a history of producing powerful clans with numerous Kage-level ninjas. Even if Nozomi is currently only an elite ninja, his son, A-Feng, might have a very bright future...
Like Yan Yi, Banma nodded repeatedly and added, "Our Senju clan will also provide assistance. I will ask my older brother to help you; he is the best at repairing houses."
Having said all that, even though he didn't want to owe anyone anything, Wangshan had no choice but to agree.
He glanced at his youngest son's face again; his large, blue eyes were pure and untainted by any worldly corruption.
"Alright! I'll go back to Konoha with you!" Wang Shan made up his mind and immediately stood up.
Yan Yi was a little confused, but when she saw the uncle about to bow and thank her, she was startled.
"No, Uncle! I really can't accept this! It was just a small favor..." Yan Yi quickly ran over to support the other person and continued, "Once our village is officially on the right track, we will absorb a lot of civilians from the surrounding villages, so Uncle Wangshan doesn't need to thank me so earnestly."
Yan Yi didn't quite understand, but Wang Shan understood perfectly.
Joining a ninja village where he could protect his family would bring him immense convenience. Furthermore, he would have more opportunities to search for medicine to cure Kirito, which would essentially save Kirito's life.
Ah Feng was stunned... He knew his younger brother's situation best, and now there was actually a turning point. Ah Feng, who was somewhat strong and proud, was also overcome with emotion.
He lowered his head, and two tears silently dripped down his cheeks... He never expected that the two boys he had unexpectedly brought back would actually be there to save his family.
He wanted to thank Yan Yi, but after hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't quite find the right words to express his gratitude. So he chose another way...
Ah Feng slowly walked up to Yan Yi, and without saying a word, hugged her tightly...
"..."
When Banma saw Afeng hugging Yan Yi, his heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, stammering for a long time without being able to utter a single word...
"Ah! Ah Feng, let go first, I... you don't need to thank me!" Yan Yi felt as if he had been electrocuted, and embarrassment instantly rushed to his head.
Ah Feng was puzzled, but he still let go of Yan Yi and looked at him... Now he was even more puzzled.
"I'm sorry, that hug was my way of expressing my gratitude. If you didn't like it, I apologize..." Ah Feng lowered his head, beginning to regret his impulsive actions.
Ah Feng used this friendly hug to convey his feelings, but Yan Yi didn't seem to like it.
Yan Yi was genuinely startled and quickly laughed it off, saying, "Don't mind me... well, I'm just not really used to it... haha..."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Itama beside her... Sure enough, Yan Yi keenly caught the jealousy emanating from Itama.
Kaname blinked her big eyes, glancing between her brother and father, and asked curiously, "Are we moving? Are we leaving this place...?"
Ah Feng's attention returned to his younger brother. He turned around, gently rubbed his brother's face, and whispered, "Yes, Tongtong, we're moving to a bigger place. There are lots of kids your age there, lots of good food, and it's very safe..."
His tone was so gentle that Yan Yi felt his usual cool demeanor was just for show.
The girl next to her, Itama, secretly tugged at Yan Yi's hand, squeezed his fingers, and said nothing...
Yan Yi glanced apologetically at Ban Jian and said softly, "Sorry, Ban Jian, I'll definitely be more careful next time and won't let anyone touch me so easily again..."
Itama was taken aback, then quickly explained, "That's not what I meant! There's nothing wrong with a hug between friends..."
"Ahem...you...you wouldn't happen to be...you know what?" Ah Feng gave the two of them a strange look, then instantly realized what was going on and his face turned red.
Thinking about his stupid actions just now, he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. He'd only offered a hug, and yet this had happened?
Wangshan had already gone back to his room to pack his things, and the remaining four children remained silent in the living room.
Only Hatake Kirito seemed somewhat confused, still munching on his pancake...
Not long after, Wangshan came out of the room carrying a bag of luggage. The conditions at home were so simple that there was not much need to tidy up.
Aside from clothes and blankets, there doesn't seem to be any need to bring the pots, pans, and other utensils.
“This house will stay here. It’s a very secluded and safe area near our home, and we also have some ninja tricks, so it’s fine to leave it here,” Wangshan explained.
Ah Feng quickly overcame his shock, reverting to his cool demeanor, and returned to his room to tidy up...
The ninjas were incredibly efficient; in no more than half an hour, the group was already standing at the front door of the house, ready to leave.
Kaede Hatake carried his younger brother on his back, Nozomi carried their luggage, while Itama and Genichi were empty-handed...
The group didn't travel very fast because they had to consider Tongtong's physical condition; going too fast would make him uncomfortable. So they chatted as they traveled in a relatively relaxed manner.
"I should have brought an extra scroll, then Uncle wouldn't have had to carry all that luggage," Yan Yi said.
Wang Shan asked with some curiosity, "Oh? There's such a useful ninjutsu?"
Itama chuckled shyly, "My second brother did it, he's really good at it!"
When Yan Yi mentioned her second brother, she couldn't help but think of Izuna... She missed her brother a little.
My mind conjured up my second brother's cute and handsome face, and his most distinctive little braid...
Yan Yi's mind wandered. Although her second brother strongly opposed her coming out this time, he was just too concerned about her. She wondered if this would cause a fight with her older brother Tobirama.
Yan thought to herself that she would have to find a way to mediate the relationship between her second brother, Izuna, and her brother, Tobirama, once she got back...
At this speed, if we continue downstream along the Namga River, the village will be less than two days away.
