The head of the Yukinoshita family looked at the clone: ​​"And according to his current appearance, even if he doesn't want to be recognized by others, it should not be an easy thing...right?"

Before the head of the Yukinoshita family finished speaking, under her gaze, the clone made of wood formed a strange mark with its hands. After a bang, the original child disappeared, and a bodyguard dressed in black appeared.

"Is there no problem now?"

"...Yeah...no problem."

The head of the Yukinoshita family lifted up a few strands of black hair that were slowly hanging down by his ears, put them behind his ears, and thought silently in his heart.

He still showed completely different abilities from before, and even his appearance could change at will. What kind of monster is he...

At the same time, on a small bridge hundreds of meters away from the courtyard, Shizuka Hiratsuka was looking down at Haruno under the bridge.

This student, who was closest to her on a daily basis, was now worried about her future.

As he was born into a large family, the head of the Yukinoshita family basically solved the inheritance problem, which was neither difficult nor easy, after the birth of his second daughter. As the future heir of the Yukinoshita family, Yukinoshita Haruno not only inherited the family, but also embarked on the journey to inherit the family early on.

"Hu~~"

Shizuka Hiratsuka lit a ladies' cigarette and flicked her fingers gently, and the ash on the cigarette floated into the dark river water.

"A smooth life is a treasure that many people desire but cannot obtain. It's about time you cheer up, right?"

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

Shizuya Hiratsuka walked down the bridge, stood next to Yukinoshita Haruno, and looked at the river together.

"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, this might not have happened today, and you wouldn't have to..."

However, before Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice had completely fallen, she was stunned by the condition of Yukinoshita Haruno.

The girl was not as sad as she imagined, she just looked at her with apologetic eyes.

"Feel sorry..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka put out the burning cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can beside her. She said nonchalantly, "Don't be so sad. You can still find a job if you don't have one. Other cities are also pretty good. It's a good opportunity to go to Japan."

I will definitely be out of work after tonight, so I might as well go somewhere else for a look.

Anyway, I have saved some money in the past few years, so after paying for the damaged car, there should be some left.

"Sorry..." Yukinoshita Haruno whispered, then looked up at the dark sky above her head. The stars and moonlight were obscured by dark clouds, just like her future could not be avoided.

"I told you don't have to apologize. I don't remember you being the kind of person who would say sorry to other people casually." Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned slightly, somewhat confused about why Haruno was apologizing.

"In fact, my mother has long hoped that I could leave Chiba Prefecture." Yukinoshita Haruno confessed, "But I don't really want to leave. Although Chiba Prefecture is dangerous and there have been several murders, it is much luckier than Ginza. I heard earlier that there was a gas explosion there, which was probably caused by Gurongi. Rather than letting me leave alone, I would rather stay here."

Hiratsuka Shizuka remained silent, quietly acting as a qualified listener.

"Dad agrees with my idea, because in his opinion, no matter how dangerous Chiba County is, it is still an important city in Tokyo. In the case where we don't know where those murderers are, Chiba is actually safe. However, after he told mom about this, mom didn't express her opinion. She just pondered for a while and didn't say whether she would let me leave..."

Yukinoshita Haruno paused for a moment and said with a hint of sadness: "It seems that mom has already figured out what to do."

"She has her reasons for thinking this way. Maybe she wants you to survive, so she wants to send you out," Hiratsuka Shizuka counselled.

"I know." Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes gradually became blurred.

"But I still want to stay with them. I hope they know my true thoughts instead of directly arranging my future..."

Having said that, Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and her eyes returned to their original firmness.

"It's useless to say this. Now that it has happened, I still don't want to leave Chiba County. Those monsters might start a more brutal game. I plan to ask my mother tonight to stay in Chiba County... This is the only thing I don't want to obey their orders anymore."

Chapter 13 Changes

Are you still unwilling to give up? No... should I say you are still going to fight for yourself?

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was sitting on the stone steps, immediately understood what Haruno was thinking.

Today, Japan is shrouded in fog, like an isolated island in the vast ocean, completely cut off from other countries. In addition to this supernatural phenomenon, there are also the Gurongi who enjoy slaughtering humans in this world. Judging from the situation in J country alone, the situation is not optimistic.

When the future is uncertain, the wisest choice is to spend more time with your family... maybe in the long run, even this society will collapse.

Sighing, Shizuka Hiratsuka relit her cigarette: "It's good to spend more time with my family. After I quit my job, I'll go back and check on the situation at home. I haven't been out for a few years, but I've already returned home with wealth. It's really unlucky..."

There was a hint of apology in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes, and she gave a dry laugh.

"By the way, if Xiao Jing today..."

"Okay, don't say anything extra.

Shizuka Hiratsuka knew what Haruno wanted to say, so she waved her hand to interrupt her. Suddenly, she felt that it was very late, so she hurriedly took out her cell phone.

"It's two hours until midnight, and it's already time for the kids to go to bed... Oh, really, I haven't even had a relationship yet, but I'm already living a life of raising a child..."

"Xiao Jing has never been in a relationship?"

"Ahem...Anyway, it's almost time, let's go first!" Shizuka Hiratsuka came to her senses, coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment, then got up and left, walking in the direction she came from.

The short-haired girl smiled and followed her closely: "Xiao Jing has never dated..."

The moon struggled to emerge from the dark clouds, and the dim moonlight emitted halos, and a little light enveloped the two people like a veil.

With Hiratsuka Shizuka's listening, Yukinoshita Haruno's mood was obviously much better. She knocked on the door gently twice, but found that the door seemed to have been kicked by something.

There was an obvious footprint on the door leaf, and under the light, some wood chips were lying quietly on the ground.

"I'm coming in..."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the noble lady who was pouring tea shook her hands unconsciously and looked at the two people at the door.

"Did someone break in just now?" Yukinoshita Haruno frowned slightly and pointed to the door behind her.

The head of the Yukinoshita family was stunned for a moment, then casually placed the teapot on the stove on the table.

"This is a famous tea house in Chiba Prefecture. Do you think anyone can just barge in..."

"But there were clearly no footprints on the door when I left just now."

"Okay... don't waste time on this kind of thing. There was indeed no one breaking in just now." The head of the Yukinoshita family opened his folding fan and looked gradually impatient.

"..."

Yukinoshita Haruno felt a little uncomfortable and looked at the black-clad bodyguard in the corner.

Is this the guy?

"Mom, I have something..."

At this time, the head of the Yukinoshita family suddenly spoke up, interrupting his daughter's intention: "If you don't want to leave Chiba County, let's talk about this matter after we go back. It's already late tonight, and Miss Hiratsuka has been outside all day. She should be very tired now."

The head of the Yukinoshita family was always observing the figure beside her from the corner of her eyes. She said without question: "Let's go! You should rest now."

"Chihiro."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been standing behind Yono for a long time without saying anything, suddenly said, "It's time for us to go home too."

"In that case."

Seto Chihiro had originally planned to talk it all out with Hiratsuka Shizuka tonight, and after a pause she looked at the head of the Yukinoshita family.

"Goodbye, Auntie. I hope our conversation next time can be more pleasant."

"..."

The room fell silent as Seto Chihiro spoke. Not only did Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression suddenly become somewhat interesting, but even Haruno's expression became strange.

Putting away the folding fan, the expression on the face of the head of the Yukinoshita family became a little stiff.

I haven't heard this name for a long time.

Although occasionally hearing this kind of address can indeed make you feel the passage of time, but it feels weird to be addressed by a non-human being...

"...Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka...I'm sorry for what happened just now..."

The head of the Yukinoshita family thought about it and felt that it would be better to do a good job on the surface first. This monster seemed to care very much about maintaining his identity. It would be better to let this monster relax his vigilance before solving the problem.

Under Hiratsuka Shizuka's strange gaze, the head of the family bowed slightly, then continued:

"Not to mention that Haruno will become the next successor of Yukinoshita, I believe you can understand how a mother feels when she hears that her child is in danger. As for what I said just now, sir, you can regard it as a temper tantrum. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Seto Chihiro, whose expression didn't change much, as if she had guessed that things would turn out like this.

"Ah... Does that mean I can continue to stay in Chiba?"

"I'm sorry again for giving you a bad experience." The head of the Yukinoshita family nodded, his attitude was surprisingly good, and the aggressiveness in his voice disappeared completely: "If you are not satisfied, Yukinoshita is willing to make other compensation."

Shizuka Hiratsuka breathed a sigh of relief. It was good enough to stay in Chiba. After all, life had to go on, but she still felt something was wrong.

After spending a long time together, she realized that the head of the Yukinoshita family was not a particularly easy person to get along with. Was it because something happened when she was away just now?

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned. What happened that could change the attitude of a family head?

"Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka, regarding the car that was scrapped due to an accident today, Yukinoshita will help you solve this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Ah... I can do this..."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes kept wandering between the bodyguard and Seto Chihiro, as if she wanted to see something from their expressions.

Unfortunately, no matter how she looked, both of them had expressionless expressions.

"Come on, Yang No!"

Without refusing again, Shizuka Hiratsuka gave Haruno a sign of encouragement before leaving, then turned and walked out of the courtyard, with Chihiro Seto following behind her.

Chiba is unusually busy tonight. Old taxis are jammed on both sides of the road, bicycles are weaving in and out of them, and pedestrians have uneasy looks on their faces.

This is a panic unique to Chiba City.

After getting off the taxi, the residential building in front of her made Seto Chihiro feel a little nostalgic, but when she walked in, the layout inside was unfamiliar.

Hiratsuka Shizuka closed the door skillfully, turned around and asked, "How did you do all this?"

Chapter 14-Awakening

When performing illusion on the bodyguard of the head of the Yukinoshita family tonight, Seto Chihiro had a certain grasp of how much chakra to use and the strength of the illusion for the people in this world.

The only thing that was surprising was that the two bodyguards had energy similar to natural energy in their bodies. If there was nothing similar to natural energy in their bodies, the chakra consumed would be less.

Fortunately, this kind of thing similar to natural energy can only provide simple protection. Compared with human-imposed, it is more like a product of contamination. When facing the richer illusion system in the Naruto world, it is impossible to defend against it.

The suppression of one world's supernatural system over another world seems to be stronger than imagined.

If I were to use it on my cousin, I would only need half the chakra, right?

In the entrance hall, Seto Chihiro looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The latter was not in a very good condition at the moment. His collar was covered with sweat after a whole day, and there was lingering fatigue in his curious eyes. It was the perfect time to cast an illusion.

Seto Chihiro knew that sooner or later she would have to return to the Naruto world. The modern world was no darker than the Naruto world. As the nominal cousin of this world, once she disappeared from this world, the head of the Yukinoshita family would definitely start the investigation from Hiratsuka Shizuka's side.

It’s not that Seto Chihiro harbored any ill will or distrust towards the head of the Yukinoshita family.

But as one of the families in Chiba City, since the bodyguard can be infected with the extraordinary aura, then the family must have been exposed to the extraordinary field. The illusion he cast on the bodyguard is based on chakra. When a different system of another world appears in one world, it will definitely arouse the covetousness of some people.

Besides, having been in a high position for many years, would he really willingly obey the orders of an extraordinary person of unknown origin?

I'm afraid the first thing to do is to get rid of him...

"Did you really do this?"

Seeing Chihiro frowning slightly, Hiratsuka Shizuka became more and more certain.

"Hehe... Don't be surprised. I don't have the ability to read minds or anything like that. Sometimes silence can be seen as an answer... But do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"

"..."

Seto Chihiro quietly raised her finger and her eyes suddenly became firm.

Although sealing memories sounds cruel and is actually very cruel, for the safety of Hiratsuka Shizuka, Seto Chihiro decided to perform the sealing technique on her.

"Ugh..."

Rubbing her forehead, Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed. She knew that Chihiro had the strength of an adult, but she never thought that he could defeat the personal bodyguard of the Yukinoshita family.

These are completely two different natures!

But I can't care about that right now... I have to apologize...

Picking up the key from the cabinet, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at Chihiro Seto, or to be more precise, she looked into his eyes.
