Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

The three of them agreed to buy some fruit together and visit Hideichi Oshima at the hospital.

Yesterday, Bai Yu went to see the Third Hokage and was informed that Team 12 would be given a long vacation, and their squads would be reassigned afterward. The Jonin instructor would definitely be replaced.

Nevertheless, the bond between the original Class 12 and Shuichi Oshima remains.

The team members have gotten along quite well during this time, and Oshima Shuichi, as their instructor Jonin, has been very kind to them.

Especially after going through a life-or-death crisis together, the atmosphere in Class 12 became even more harmonious. It would have been even more perfect if Oshima Shuichi hadn't been injured.

"It seems that Mr. Shuichi likes grapes. Let's buy him more grapes, and these too..."

Hyuga Hideto became unusually talkative.

"Okay." Bai Yu nodded and picked out the ones that looked good with Uchiha Chiho.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward. He was the owner of the fruit shop, holding a fruit basket. He asked, "Excuse me, is your teacher Hideichi Oshima?"

“Yes,” Bai Yu replied.

"Hideaki and Sakumo-sama thwarted the Sand Village's plot together, and now they're injured. We're all very worried about them." The shopkeeper stuffed the fruit basket into Shiraha's arms. "This is just a small token of my appreciation."

"How could I possibly accept this?"

"Please accept this and convey my condolences to Lord Hideichi."

"Alright then, I'll tell Mr. Shuichi." Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Bai Yu didn't refuse.

"And these too!"

The shopkeeper then stuffed all the other fruits into the fruit basket, and when it was full, he took out a new fruit basket and handed it to Uchiha Chiho.

"Uncle, that's enough. If it's too much, the teacher won't be able to finish it either," Bai Yu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Thanks to your protection of Konoha, we ordinary people can live in peace. Compared to the ninjas who fight and bleed, this is all I can do. I hope you won't find it offensive," the shopkeeper said earnestly.

"Alright then, I'll thank you on behalf of Teacher Xiuyi, Uncle," Bai Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you." Uchiha Chiho and Hyuga Hideto also expressed their gratitude.

At this moment, the smile on the boss's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Both Bai Yu and Hyuga Eito were taken aback, and following their boss's gaze, they looked at Uchiha Chiho.

Bai Yu: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Hyuga Hideto: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Uchiha Chiho lowered her head slightly, her smile somewhat sinister, a hint of mockery in her provocation.

Hyuga Hideto and Shiraha exchanged a glance, and the two of them simultaneously stepped in front of Uchiha Chiho, blocking her view.

“Um, boss, you’ve misunderstood. Actually, she…” Bai Yu tried to explain.

"I know what I did was insignificant. You should go and visit Lord Xiuyi." The boss smiled awkwardly, indicating his understanding, but his expression was very embarrassed.

You don't understand at all!

Seeing the boss turn and leave, Bai Yu looked helplessly at Uchiha Chiho.

Seeing the strange expressions on Shiraha and Hyuga Hideto's faces, Uchiha Chiho was also bewildered, blinking her beautiful big eyes with confusion in them, as if she didn't understand why her boss's attitude had suddenly changed so drastically.

"Let's go first."

As they were leaving, Shiraha handed the fruit basket to Hyuga Eito.

On the way to the hospital, Bai Yu suddenly stopped.

Uchiha Chiho and Hyuga Hideto also stopped.

Bai Yu suddenly said, "Qian Sui, I want to ask you something."

"what?"

When do you usually laugh?

"..." Uchiha Chiho looked confused. "Probably... when they're happy."

Hearing her uncertain tone, Hyuga Eito seemed to suddenly understand something and asked, "Then when do you think it's appropriate to laugh?"

"When expressing friendliness." This time, Chiho Uchiha's answer was very certain.

"So you were just being friendly to the boss? Now, smile again and show me." Bai Yu's lips twitched.

"..." Although somewhat puzzled, Uchiha Chiho still obediently showed a "friendly" smile.

However, in the eyes of Shiraha and Hyuga Eito, her expression was incredibly irritating—a sinister smile that was both provocative and mocking.

Case solved!

Bai Yu finally understood why Sarutobi Keita had said that Uchiha Chiho was ostracized within the Uchiha clan.

Bai Yu wasn't sure if it was because she was an outsider.

But it's a miracle you won't get beaten up for laughing like that.

"?" Hyuga Eito was also dumbfounded.

He and his previous teammate had a poor relationship with Uchiha Chiho, mainly because when they first met, she showed that kind of smile, and she rarely spoke, displaying the arrogance of a genius.

So she wasn't being sarcastic, but rather trying to be friendly?

Is it possible that someone doesn't even know how to laugh?

Even a fake smile wouldn't be this outrageous!

"Chiho, have you ever looked in the mirror and seen yourself when you smile?" Shiraha asked.

Uchiha Chiho nodded: "I was just practicing in front of the mirror, so what?"

"..."

"..."

"Chiho, promise me you won't smile like that when you're trying to be friendly in the future, okay?" Bai Yu said solemnly, afraid that when they met the new Jonin leader, Uchiha Chiho would express friendliness in that way.

Uchiha Chiho asked in a serious tone, "If I don't smile, won't people think I'm unfriendly and difficult to get along with?"

"People will only think you're difficult to get along with if you smile!" Even Hinata Eito couldn't help but complain.

"Chiho, watch how I smile to show friendliness," Bai Yu reminded her, giving Uchiha Chiho a demonstration.

A warm smile appeared on Bai Yu's handsome face, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing eight upper teeth, giving people a sunny and cheerful feeling.

"Is that so?" Uchiha Chiho felt that Shiraha's smile was a bit fake, but she still smiled back like him.

However, in Bai Yu's view, her smile was not much different from before.

His pretty face had a mocking smile that was incredibly irritating!

"You need to control your facial muscles, like this."

Seeing Uchiha Chiho's stiff expression, Bai Yu reached out and gently pinched her cheeks, then slowly lifted them upwards.

Then, turning to his side, he said:

"Yingren, could you take the small mirror out of my medical kit and let her take a look?"

However, Hyuga Hideto took a few steps back while holding the fruit basket.

"what happened to you?"

Bai Yu looked at him in confusion, then suddenly froze.

There's a murderous aura about him!

Bai Yu turned around and looked—

Kushina, wearing an orange top, was slowly walking towards them, veins bulging on her forehead.

"Kushina, don't misunderstand, I was teaching her..." Bai Yu quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"What misunderstanding? It seems you get along very well with your companions—well, you see?"

Kushina smiled kindly.

However, the look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them cannot be hidden.

Suddenly, Kushina's expression froze, her eyes widened, her red hair moved without wind, and she rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Shiraha.

Bai Yu was taken aback, glanced at Uchiha Chiho, and immediately realized what was happening. He grabbed Kushina's waist and hurriedly said, "Kushina, don't be impulsive, it's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

"That sly cat dared to provoke me and ask me to beat her up! Don't stop me!" Kushina was furious, but Shiraha held her tightly.

Chiho Uchiha maintained her "friendly" smile.

Bai Yu shouted at Uchiha Chiho:

Please stop laughing!

[Chapter 52. Nine-Tails and Mito]

It took Bai Yu a great deal of effort to explain it clearly.

However, Kushina still felt that Chiho Uchiha's smile just now was a provocation.

After accompanying Shiraha to visit Shuichi Oshima, Kushina made a decision—to strictly limit the amount of pocket money Shiraha received.

Although it was just a "misunderstanding," Kushina felt it was necessary to take precautions in advance.

Bai Yu did not protest against this.

Even though he had nothing to hide, unless one knew Uchiha Chiho to some extent, they probably wouldn't believe that anyone would laugh like that.

Anyway, Bai Yu has already started doing missions, and having some savings hidden away is enough for him.

night.

Kushina lay on the sofa, hugging a cat-shaped pillow, looking sullen.

Bai Yu sat beside her, gently massaging her legs and patting her back.

Whether it's right or wrong isn't always the point; you still need to coax them.

There's no way around it; even if you're living off a woman, you have to be mindful of the situation.
