Madara, let's change the world together!

Suddenly, many images flashed through her mind, and her closed-off memories resurfaced.

Family, war, defeat, arrest

She recalled everything from resisting being a doll to forcibly forgetting everything in order to maintain her mental sanity.

"Yu Ling! Yu Ling!"

Otsutsuki Hare turned her head and saw Kiyoi Ai's concerned expression.

He looked around and realized that everyone was looking at her with worry in their eyes.

My face felt hot and wet.

It looks like she's crying?

"Yu Ling?"

Miki rushed over immediately and hugged her with concern.

Yu Ling was deeply moved by the other person's warmth.

"Did something sad come to mind?"

"It's okay, we're all here, no one will hurt you."

So warm

Otsutsuki Harei felt the fragrance was overwhelming, and the strong sense of security dispelled the gloom in her heart.

"No, it's nothing."

Her timid, delicate voice surprised almost everyone.

This was the first time they had heard such obvious emotion in Yu Ling's words.

It seems to have recovered?

Miki smiled happily.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll talk."

"Um"

Otsutsuki Hare slowly left Miki's embrace, her tears already wiped away by the other's clothes.

The atmosphere at dinner was exceptionally relaxed. Although we didn't talk much, we ate with peace of mind.

should say--

It feels like home.

Chapter 106 Mutual Assistance Among Family Members

"Yu Ling, have you recovered?"

In the mansion's office, Kiyoi Gen asked Otsutsuki Hare in a gentle tone.

The girl in front of me knelt timidly on the cushion.

I could sense that her body was trembling slightly.

"Yes, brother."

Although he never verbally said that he wanted to be adopted siblings, Kiyoi Gen had accepted the idea after being called "brother" so many times.

Can you tell me about your past?

Otsutsuki Hare looked up and gazed at Kiyoi Gen's gentle smile.

"Then, could we not say that?"

"I only want to be my brother's sister."

Her long eyelashes blinked, and her eyes held a pleading look.

Kiyoshi Gen smiled gently.

"Of course, you can do it your own way."

Yu Ling felt a gentle pat on her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, my brother is really gentle.

"It's good that you've recovered. Let's continue today's lesson."

“We taught you to recognize and read characters before, but now that you’ve recovered, we’ll teach you something more difficult.”

Ugh?

Yu Ling looked bewildered, while Kiyoi Megumi and Kiyoi Ai exchanged a smile inside the room.

I'm afraid Yuling won't make it through the next hour.

"Brother, why does he both leave out the water and add water to this problem? Isn't that a waste?"

"This is a test of your thinking ability. This example is just to make it easier to understand. You need to abstract it into mathematics."

"Brother, why do we still need to study internal affairs?"

"This is to broaden your horizons."

An hour is not a long time. Kiyoshi only gave Yu Ling a brief, selective explanation of some mathematics, geography, the history of Hatsuri Village, and examples of domestic affairs.

However, this was still a bit difficult for Yu Ling, and she felt dizzy.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'll go into more detail in future lessons."

"If you have any questions, you can ask me or your sisters."

Kiyoi Gen inserted his fingers into Yu Ling's hair, and chakra was injected into her body through skin contact.

Otsutsuki Harei couldn't help but close her eyes.

She felt warm all over, and Kiyoshi Gen's concern was transmitted to her through his chakra.

"Let's go."

"Say hello to everyone."

"They are all your family too."

"Um"

Otsutsuki Harei murmured softly, looking at her withdrawn hand with some reluctance.

There will be many more opportunities in the future.

Kiyoshi Gen lightly flicked Yu Ling's forehead with his finger, somewhat amused.

This interaction reminded him of the times he used to teach his younger sisters.

"Then, brother, you'll teach me in the future, right?"

"of course."

She's just like a little rabbit who doesn't feel safe.

Kiyoshi Gen thought to himself.

Next, he greeted everyone with Otsutsuki Yuling and asked Kaguya to guide Yuling in developing her Byakugan.

Kaguya readily agreed, and Yu Ling timidly nodded, indicating that she would study hard.

It's just that a little girl who longs to be close to her mother is unhappy about it.

"Why should Mom have to sacrifice her time to teach her?"

Kiyoi Gen grabbed Otsutsuki Aino by the collar and lifted her up.

"Based on our previous agreement!"

"During the daytime work period, both your person and your time belong entirely to me!"

Their faces were only a fist's distance apart. Aino just stared at Kiyoi Gen with dissatisfaction, without refuting him.

"Don't make things difficult for Mom!"

"How did I make things difficult for her?"

"I've practically made your mom a goddess at home!"

"Mom is a goddess!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"You're absolutely right!"

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh at the interaction between the two who were usually at odds, including Kaguya, who rarely smiled.

Her daughter is quite good to Kiyoshi Gen.

If Kiyoi Gen were to open Aino's data panel, he would know that Aino's affection for him has risen to a very high level.

【Favorability】92

[Trust Level] 100

It can be said that after fulfilling his promises time and time again, the trust that the former Black Zetsu and the current Aino has in Kiyoi Gen has reached its highest level.

As long as the two don't have a fundamental conflict, Aino has completely sided with Kiyoi Gen.

However, Kiyoi Gen, who believed that the two did not get along, stopped looking at Aino's favorability data, otherwise he would not have been constantly arguing with her.

Ultimately, the conflict between the two still exists over the assassination attempt. Although they haven't brought it up again, it still prevents them from being completely honest with each other.

Perhaps this clumsy bickering is their way of expressing mutual trust and friendship.

The Kiyoi family spent another ordinary but happy evening.

Next, Kaguya Otsutsuki and Lan both became Yu Ling's teachers.

One taught her how to use the Byakugan, and the other taught her chakra and basic ninjutsu.

Afterwards, Otsutsuki Harei went to the lunar research institute and used three different cell-enhancing solvents in turn.

Meanwhile, Kiyoi Gen was closely monitoring Kakuzu's progress, preparing for a full-scale invasion of the Land of Water at any time.
