Chapter 257

~5 min read 839 words

Now that he has bought a Senju villa with the money he earned, his leisurely days are extremely comfortable.

Danzo says bluntly: "You have fallen!"

Hearing Senju Xingye's words, Senju Tsunade's eyes flash slightly.

She just hadn't noticed, but after hearing her husband say this, she quickly understands the ins and outs of the matter.

It still stems from her second grandfather.

"Sigh...?"

"Why does Second Grandfather hate the Uchiha so much?"

Senju Tsunade cannot figure it out no matter how she thinks about it.

Although the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were like fire and water before the village was built.

But since they have already worked together to find a path of peace in troubled times, why is the inside of the village like a pile of loose sand?

Senju Xingye smooths out her furrowed brows for her.

"This is a historical legacy issue, not something we juniors need to consider."

"We just need to let the family continue to survive."

Senju Tsunade straightens up and leans back into Senju Xingye's arms.

"You've worked hard. If it weren't for your efforts, I'm afraid the Senju clan would have disappeared in our generation."

Senju Xingye smiles.

"Why are you being so polite with me? We are all one family."

"Mm..."

Senju Tsunade responds, then closes her eyes and says nothing more.

…………

Returning home.

Senju Xingye sees that Pakura is already able to get up and move around.

"Are you planning to leave?"

He looks at the clothes Pakura is wearing and raises an eyebrow slightly.

Seeing Senju Xingye's face, Pakura blushes and subconsciously shifts her gaze.

"Yes, thank you for saving my life, but I must go and ask Rasa about this clearly."

Senju Xingye sighs.

"Although I don't want to stop your choice, but..."

"Have you really thought it through?"

"Since you know this was done by Rasa, what do you think you will face after you go back?"

Pakura is stunned, and then her expression dims.

At this moment, Senju Xingye takes a bounty poster from his pocket and places it in front of Pakura.

Pakura takes one look, immediately snatches the bounty poster, and stares with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

"This is impossible... Why?!"

The person on the bounty poster is none other than her.

"Rasa was prepared long ago; I'm afraid that among the Sunagakure ninja, you are already a hateful rogue ninja who betrayed the interests of the village."

"If you go back like this, you will die."

Pakura still cannot believe it.

"I was betrayed only today, he clearly..."

She suddenly freezes, instantly understanding many things.

Why has the bounty poster already appeared when she was only backstabbed by her subordinates today?

And given the distance between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, how could this bounty poster be in Senju Xingye's hands?

One day's time is simply not enough!

This is enough to show that this bounty order was already made several days ago.

Suddenly, Pakura thinks of a possibility.

"Could it be that they only... because of this bounty poster?"

"... No."

Senju Xingye dispels her thought.

"The bounty order only spread to the major ninja villages today."

"They could not have obtained this information in advance."

"Therefore, they must have been bribed by the Kazekage."

Pakura, who had originally pinned a glimmer of hope on it, is now extremely disappointed.

She did not expect that her own subordinates would betray her so easily.

"If you are determined to leave, I will not stop you."

"But I still advise you to stay here for a while."

"If you want revenge, you must at least survive, and then look for an opportunity."

After he finishes speaking, he brushes past Pakura.

As for what choice Pakura makes, that is Pakura's own business.

No matter what decision she makes, Senju Xingye respects her.

"Have I... nowhere left to go?"

Pakura says in a low voice, her expression dejected.

Just at this moment, raindrops fall from the sky, seemingly reflecting her current mood.

Overcast, with rain.

"Auntie, it's raining, here's an umbrella for you."

Luffy holds out an oil-paper umbrella to Pakura and asks curiously.

"Why isn't Auntie using an umbrella? It will be very uncomfortable to catch a cold from the rain."

Pakura looks down at the delicate palm stretched out by the two-year-old child Luffy, feeling a bit dazed for a moment.

She squats down and, instead of taking the umbrella, hugs Luffy tightly.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Tears stream down her cheeks, mixing with the rain as they fall to the ground.

Luffy asks in confusion.

"Is Auntie crying? Is there something sad?"

"Tell Luffy, Luffy will help you beat up the bad guys!"

"Luffy is very strong!"

Luffy says proudly, trying to comfort the crying adult in his own way.

But Pakura only hugs him tighter.

Under the eaves, Senju Xingye sees this scene, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Worthy of being my child, truly excellent! ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
