Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Giving Gifts

Naori was so startled that she quickly put the lid back on.

"What is this thing, Torifū?" Naori asked quietly, afraid of attracting the attention of others.

"It's a family heirloom, said to prevent illness."

Hearing this, Naori quickly pushed the box back. "How can I give away such an important family heirloom? No, no, take it back, I will think of something else."

Torifū smiled. "This should have been made by an elder in my family; there are many of them."

"If you like it, I can give you one too."

Although Torifū said so, Naori still did not quite believe it, but after Torifū's repeated coaxing, she accepted the box.

Of course, this so-called family heirloom was just something Torifū made up to deceive Naori.

In reality, it was a Healing Necklace exchanged from the system store, costing two hundred Peace Points each, with an effective period of about five or six years.

It could only simply restore some minor injuries and avoid common illnesses, but it was still quite worth it.

Other customers watching the excitement saw that there was no more activity on Torifū's side, so they stopped paying attention and continued eating.

After Torifū and Naori paid the bill, they set off for the Senju clan grounds.

The barbecue restaurant owner's "Come again next time!" still sounded so friendly.

After a short while, the two arrived at their destination.

Torifū and Naori had been here more than once, so the people of the Senju clan were very familiar with them and greeted them warmly.

After all, this was their clan leader's disciple, so they were all considered family.

"Sensei, Mito-sama, Tobirama-sama, we're here."

Mito came out to greet Torifū and Naori and gestured for them to come inside.

Since having her granddaughter, Mito had been smiling every day, and she looked much healthier.

"Mito-sama, is little Tsunade at home? We're here to bring her gifts."

Before Mito could answer, a voice came from inside the house.

"Why are you like Tobirama, bringing gifts when you come?"

Hashirama said helplessly; his younger brother had bought a lot of gifts when he returned from the Land of Hot Water.

Not only him, but the other clan leaders also sent a lot of gifts.

It had gotten to the point where there was no place to stand now.

"Come in quickly, don't chat outside, and help me clean up a bit."

Hearing Hashirama's voice, Torifū and Naori immediately took off their shoes and entered the house.

Mito smiled gently and then went inside as well.

Opening the door, Torifū and Naori saw Tobirama holding little Tsunade, while Hashirama was cleaning up the gifts scattered all over the floor.

For a moment, Torifū couldn't tell who was the real grandfather.

"Sensei, we'll help you!"

Saying that, the two began to help Hashirama pick up the things all over the room, and the speed of three people working was much faster.

In a short while, all the gifts were sorted and placed neatly.

"Ah, finally it's done." Hashirama slumped to the ground and wiped away sweat.

In fact, Hashirama didn't want to do all of this. It was only because he wanted to see what gifts the clan leaders had sent to Tsunade. So he squatted in the room and unpacked them one by one, making the whole room a mess.

That's why Mito scolded him and punished him to clean up the room.

And after his younger brother came, he held little Tsunade and just watched coldly without saying a word to help him.

For a moment, Hashirama knew what it meant to be cold-hearted; his two disciples were still reliable.

"Big brother, don't blame me, sister-in-law wouldn't let me help you."

When Hashirama heard this, he wanted to get angry, but he saw Mito's 'kind' smile.

He immediately put on a serious look. "Ahem, the responsibility for this matter lies with me; it's right that you didn't help me."

"Only in this way can I deeply understand Mito's hardship, and I will be able to take better care of her in the future."

Mito leaned against the doorway, quietly watching her husband act.

She didn't believe a word of what Hashirama said; she knew best what kind of person Hashirama was.

When he's unreliable, he's even more annoying than a child!

"It's good that it's cleaned up, you guys chat first, I'll go cut some fruit."

After seeing Mito leave, Hashirama slowly got up, muttering something in his mouth; his voice was so small that people couldn't hear it clearly.

Torifū and Naori were also seeing Hashirama like this for the first time, and they felt a little novel.

After all, Hashirama was usually extremely dignified.

"Sensei, where's Hanaku-nii? Why isn't he here?"

Hashirama walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea and said while drinking, "Hanaku and his wife went to his father-in-law's house; they will be back in a while."

Torifū felt a little regretful upon hearing this; he hadn't seen Hanaku for a long time and thought he would be able to see him this time.

Sure enough, married people are very busy.

At this time, Torifū took out a very delicate cloth doll from his sleeve, which he had bought with Tobirama in the Land of Hot Water.

Although it didn't cost much, it was still a token of appreciation.

As for why not exchange one in the system store? Of course, it was to save as much as possible.

Naori had not had time to prepare a gift, so Torifū had exchanged one, but he had already bought it, so naturally, he didn't need to.

Hashirama looked at the cloth doll, feeling a little familiar, and looked at it carefully: it was the same one that Tobirama had sent!

"Put it over there, and pair it with Tobirama's."

Hashirama obviously had some resentment towards Tobirama, which Tobirama chose to ignore, carrying Tsunade around the room.

"Sensei, Tobirama-sama, this is the gift I brought for Tsunade."

Saying that, Naori took out the small box that Torifū had given her and placed it on the table.

"Oh? What is this?"

Naori imitated Torifū's tone and said, "You'll know when you open it."

Hashirama took the box and opened it directly, just like what happened in the barbecue restaurant; a green light flashed, making people's bodies feel warm.

Then the light gradually became restrained, and everyone could see what it was.

"Is it a necklace?"

A light green gemstone necklace lay quietly in the box; the style was extremely exquisite.

Naori followed what Torifū had told her and introduced the functions of the necklace in detail.

Hashirama immediately smiled when he heard this; he thought this was simply the most practical gift.

Children are most likely to get sick or get bumped. With this necklace, it is enough for Tsunade to spend a comforting childhood.

His little princess must grow up healthy and happy; Hashirama will teach her whatever she wants to learn!

"This gift is very good; Naori is still very thoughtful." Tobirama was obviously very satisfied with this gift.

Naori was a little embarrassed to be praised by them because this gift was not prepared by her at all.

It was Torifū's family heirloom, she looked at Torifū with apology.

What came to meet her was a smile. Torifū blinked and said to Naori with a smile, "Don't worry too much, I'm just filling in this time, you have to choose a better gift next time."
