At this time, the one who came out to open the door for Chiyo and Ebizo was none other than Chiyu who was recruited by Zhang Miao!
Seeing the shocked expressions on Chiyo and Ebizo's faces, Chiyu immediately frowned.
"Is my face so shocking to you? Alright, if you have any questions, come in first!"
After saying that, Chiyu directly turned around and returned to the room. Seeing this scene, Chiyo and Ebizo exchanged a glance before following Chiyu into the room.
After entering the room, Chiyu pulled a chair over and sat down. Then, he raised his chin towards Chiyo and Ebizo.
"If you have any questions, ask them quickly. I still need to return to my room to make puppets for my master. There is no time to waste!"
"Master? Puppets?"
Hearing these two keywords, a trace of doubt flashed in Chiyo and Ebizo's eyes again. Then, they asked Chiyu together.
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
After hearing their questions, Chiyu immediately nodded. "Is this your problem? I can answer you. My name is Chiyu. As for my master, you also know him. He is Ryunosuke!"
"Little Ryu?" Just as Chiyu finished speaking, Chiyo and Ebizo once again revealed shocked expressions, "How is this possible?"
"There's nothing impossible, that's the truth!"
Seeing the two of them being shocked, Chiyu's face was calm.
"If there are no problems, I will go and make puppets!"
After saying that, Chiyu no longer paid any attention to the dumbfounded Chiyo and Ebizo, and directly turned back to the puppet material room to make puppets.
After Chiyu left, Chiyo finally came back to her senses, and then looked at Ebizo with an uncertain expression.
"Ebizo, are we under a genjutsu?"
"I don't think so!" After hearing Chiyo's words, Ebizo immediately shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.
"And that Chiyu, no matter if it's his appearance, his way of speaking or his movements, even some of his subtle movements are exactly the same as you twenty years ago. It doesn't look like an illusion at all. I was stared at by her just now, and I couldn't even speak!"
"Hehe... Is that so?" Just as Ebizo finished speaking, Chiyo laughed happily, "So I was like this back then? Hehe..."
"Uh..." Looking at Chiyo who was laughing out loud, Ebizo suddenly revealed a face of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "With such a strange thing happening, why are you still laughing now? Don't you feel worried?"
"I don't think so!" As soon as Ebizo finished speaking, Chiyo immediately shook her head, "And even if you worry, it's useless. Just ask him when Little Ryu comes back!"
"That's true, but..."
Ebizo seemed to be about to say something, but before he could finish, Chiyo waved at him.
"There's nothing to say. I believe in Little Ryu. Don't worry... Oh right, we haven't gone fishing for a few days. Let's go fishing together!"
Ebizo: "…"
"Fishing at a time like this?"
Seeing that Chiyo was already heading in the direction of the small pond, although Ebizo wanted to say something, in the end, he could only sigh helplessly and follow her to fish.
Although Ebizo was sitting at the edge of the pond, his mind was not on fishing, so after fishing for more than an hour, he still did not catch even a small fish.
At this time, his attention was focused on the outside of the house. When he heard the sound of the door opening outside, he immediately put down the fishing rod and stood up.
"They're back!"
"Oh, is my Little Ryu back?"
Hearing Ebizo's words, Chiyo also put down her fishing rod and stood up, "So it's already so late. Then I'll go cook some meals!"
Ebizo: "…"
Should he be thinking about cooking now?
Looking at Chiyo, who was walking towards the kitchen, the corner of Ebizo's mouth twitched twice, and he immediately shouted to stop Chiyo.
"Sister, about Chiyu... Didn't you want to ask Ryu about Chiyu?"
"Oh, you mean that?"
Hearing the words of the old man, Chiyo immediately stopped, and then turned around to look at him strangely.
"But isn't it the same if you ask when you eat?"
"... "
When Chiyo said this, Ebizo did not know what to say. He opened his mouth several times, but did not say anything.
It was really tiring to have such a big sister!
Seeing that Zhang Miao had returned, she immediately happily ran over to prepare food and brought him to the dining table.
"Little Ryu, Gaara. It's time to eat. Remember to wash your hands!"
In the midst of Chiyo's call, not long after, Zhang Miao's Wood Clone and Gaara came. Chiyu was with them.
As a recruited person, Chiyu also needed to eat. When Chiyo and Ebizo were not around, she was in charge of cooking. Now that Chiyo was back, she concentrated on making puppets for Zhang Miao.
Now that she heard Chiyo shouting for her to eat, she walked out of the puppet material room and sat down at the table.
After everyone sat down, Chiyo immediately picked up some food and placed it in the bowl of Zhang Miao's Wood Clone. Then, she smiled at him kindly.
"Hehe, Little Ryu, eat more. Granny likes to see you eat. You have to finish all the dishes!"
"Uh..." Hearing Chiyo's words, the corner of Zhang Miao's wooden clone's mouth twitched twice, "I will try my best!"
Zhang Miao's wooden clone could also eat, but it did not have Zhang Miao's heaven-defying digestive ability, so he quickly put down the bowl.
Seeing this scene, Chiyo raised her eyebrows, but did not say anything.
After Chiyu and Gaara finished eating and left the table, Chiyo opened her mouth to Zhang Miao's Wood Clone.
"Who are you?"
"Haha!" Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao's Wood Clone immediately laughed, "Grandma, what are you saying? I am Ryu!"
"You are not!"
As soon as Zhang Miao's Wood Clone finished speaking, Chiyo immediately shook her head.
"Although you look exactly the same as Ryu, and there is nothing abnormal about your chakra, I know that you are not him, because if it is really Ryu, he can eat all the dishes at this table. Most importantly, Chiyu's attitude towards you!"
"Chiyu's attitude?" Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao's Wood Clone could not help but reveal a puzzled expression, "There is nothing special about Chiyu's attitude just now, right?"
"It's because there's nothing special about it that I find it strange!"
Speaking up to this point, Chiyo turned her head and looked at the door of the puppet material room that Chiyu closed not far away.
"When Chiyu mentioned that Ryu was her master, her eyes were filled with reverence. However, when she looked at you just now, it was as if she saw a piece of wood. There was no emotion in her eyes, as if you're not Ryu at all. If I'm not wrong, you are Ryu's Wood Clone, right? Tell me, where did he go?"
