Under Zhang Miao's request, Saba and Maki hurriedly quickened their pace. At noon, the three of them finally arrived at the place where Chiyo was living in seclusion.
It was a small valley. Many rocks that had not completely weathered stood around it, blocking most of the wind and Saba from outside. There was also a huge rock wall inside. Chiyo's residence was built on this rock wall.
At the junction of the rock wall and the Sabay building, there were also some traces of grass and green. Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhang Miao's mouth immediately curled up.
"The damp environment will produce moss. There should be a small stream of water behind the rock wall. This time, I don't have to worry about not having water to take a bath!"
Saba: "... "
Maki: "..."
"We are all worried about the lack of drinking water, and you still want to take a bath?"
At this moment, Saba and Maki revealed speechless expressions at the same time, but Zhang Miao did not pay attention to their expressions. He directly ran to Chiyo's door and slammed the door.
"Grandma Chiyo, Old Man Ebizo! I'm here! Open the door!"
Seeing Zhang Miao's action, Saba and Maki, who were following behind him, immediately looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"He actually knows that Advisor Ebizo is also here? Does he really know Advisor Chiyo?"
Just as the two of them thought of this, the originally closed door opened with a creak. The one who opened the door was none other than Chiyo.
After opening the door, he glanced at Zhang Miao, who was standing at the door, and then frowned.
"Kid, who are you?"
Saba: "…"
Maki: "... "
"Damn, looking at his posture just now, I thought that he really knew Advisor Chiyo. So he was faking it all along!"
At this moment, Saba and Maki suddenly felt deceived by Zhang Miao.
Compared to the two of them, Zhang Miao was not embarrassed or at a loss. After hearing Chiyo's words, he immediately laughed.
"Hehe, Grandma Chiyo, I am here to deliver something. Let's go, let's talk inside!"
With that, without waiting for Chiyo to speak, he directly stepped forward and squeezed in from the Chiyo's side.
Seeing this scene, Chiyo was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at the stunned Saba and Maki outside.
"Looking at your foreheads, are you Ninjas from the village? What are you doing here? And what's up with this little brat?"
"Uh... This..."
Hearing Chiyo's words, Saba was first stunned, but he quickly reacted. After organizing his words, he spoke to Chiyo.
"Advisor Chiyo, actually, this is what happened..."
Then, he told Chiyo everything that he and the others had encountered at the border and how they were saved by Zhang Miao.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to Chiyo.
"This is what happened. I have already sent someone to inform the village. I believe that Lord Kazekage will be here soon!"
"Hmph!" Hearing Saba's words, Chiyo immediately snorted coldly, "Since this little brat is so dangerous, and you still brought him to my place, it seems that my life is not important in your eyes, right?"
"No, actually..."
"You don't have to say anything!" Seeing that Saba was about to say something, Chiyo directly waved his hand and interrupted him.
"It's better for an old woman like me who has no use for the village to die. You can go. If you meet the Fourth Kazekage, tell him to mind his business!"
After saying that, Chiyo directly turned and entered the house, and then slammed the door shut.
Seeing this scene, Saba could only sigh helplessly, "Alright, our mission is completed, let's go back!"
"Uh... Okay!" Hearing Saba's words, Maki hurriedly nodded. After looking at the tightly closed door of Chiyo's house again, she left with Saba.
When the two of them turned around and left, Chiyo also returned to the room. However, the moment she entered, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
She saw that on the originally empty table in the room, there was a big cake now. The cake was filled with candles. Zhang Miao was holding a lighter to light the candles. Her younger brother, Ebizo, was standing at the side and watching.
One had to know that this was the Land of Wind where resources were scarce. Even a piece of bread and a bowl of vegetable porridge were food that was worthy of being cherished. Luxury goods like cakes could only be seen during major festivals.
Because the production cost was high, Chiyo had not seen such luxury goods for many years since she retired.
But now, such a big cake was placed in front of her just like that. The sweet aroma it emitted proved that everything in front of her was not an illusion, but real.
Seeing this scene, Chiyo was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, and then immediately asked Ebizo.
"Where did this cake come from?"
At this time, Ebizo was also in a daze. After hearing Chiyo's words, he first swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then shook his head.
"I don't know, sister, this cake suddenly appeared on the table!"
"It suddenly appeared on the table?"
Hearing Ebizo's words, Chiyo immediately frowned,
"Is this some kind of ninjutsu?"
At this moment, Zhang Miao had already lit the candles. After hearing Chiyo's words, he immediately laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha, don't care about these details. Grandma Chiyo, come and blow the candles. …Happy birthday to you!"
"Birthday? Today is not my birthday?"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Chiyo immediately frowned, but she still walked to the table. However, when she saw the words on the cake on the table, she widened her eyes again.
Because there were twelve big words on the cake - "Happy 60th birthday to Grandma Chiyo!"
Seeing these words, Chiyo was stunned again, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes,
"Am I already sixty?"
"Yes, sister!"
As soon as Chiyo finished speaking, Ebizo immediately smiled and nodded,
"You turned sixty two months ago!"
"So I really am sixty years old, haha!"
After hearing Hailao's words, Chiyo immediately laughed like a child, and even made a peace gesture, making Zhang Miao not know whether to laugh or cry.
"This Grandma Chiyo really has the heart of a little girl, just as in the original work!"
When Zhang Miao thought of this, Chiyo had already blown out the candles on the cake, and then looked at Zhang Miao with a face full of joy.
"You are not from the Sunagakure, but you know my age. Moreover, you came so far to deliver a cake to me, a useless old woman. And looking at your age and appearance, I already know who you are!"
"Huh?" Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao was first stunned, and then a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"Could it be that my fame has been spread to the Land of Wind?"
"What nonsense!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Chiyo could not help but roll his eyes at him,
"Quick, tell me, your father... my grandson, Little Sasori.. Is he alright? Where is he?"
Zhang Miao, "... "
Damn it, who the hell is this Little Sasori?
