As the saying goes, "It's not tiring to work with a man and a woman", Zhang Miao was now in such a situation.
Along the way, with Pakura guiding him, and also chatting with him to relieve boredom, he naturally felt relaxed when he ran. When it was almost dawn, he was already close to Chiyo's secluded residence.
Zhang Miao often wandered around here, so he was very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Seeing that he was almost at Chiyo's residence, he removed his Nine-tails Form and walked back with Pakura.
When he reached the door, because the sky was still dark, Zhang Miao guessed that Chiyo was still sleeping, so he did not directly knock on the door. Instead, he asked his Wood Clone to open the door for him before removing it.
However, what Zhang Miao did not expect was that just as he removed his Wood Clone, Chiyo's voice came from the room.
"Welcome back, Grandma's Little Ryu!"
"Uh..."
Hearing Chiyo's words, no matter how stupid Zhang Miao was, he knew that his Wood Clone must have been seen through by Chiyo, so he could only reveal a bitter smile.
"Grandma, I'm back, and... I'm sorry!"
"Silly child!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Chiyo walked out of the room and pulled him into her arms.
"It should be me who said sorry. It was me who didn't protect you well and let you suffer. Grandma let you down!"
"Uh..." Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao immediately revealed a helpless expression, "It's been so long, and you still remember it. I already said that it has nothing to do with you, so don't mention it again in the future!"
"Good good good!" Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Chiyo immediately agreed with a smile, "Grandma will listen to you, and won't mention it in the future... Eh? The one wearing the mask behind you is..."
Seeing that Chiyo was looking at Pakura in surprise, Zhang Miao grinned again.
"She is my personal maid. As for her original identity, I am worried that she will scare you!"
"Hahahaha!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Chiyo could not help but laugh.
"Little Ryu, you underestimate me too much. Even if the shadows of the five great countries stand in front of me, they won't be able to scare Granny!"
"Is that so?" Seeing the confident look on Chiyo's face, Zhang Miao immediately raised his eyebrows and grinned, "Big Sis Pakura, take off your mask!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!" After hearing Zhang Miao's words, Pakura immediately took off the mask on his face and bowed to Chiyo.
"Advisor Chiyo, long time no see!"
"Uh..."
Looking at Pakura who was in front of him, Chiyo immediately widened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief.
"You... You are Pakura, aren't you already dead?"
"Yes, I am indeed dead!"
Hearing Chiyo's words, Pakura's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of anger.
"I was sent by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa to Kirigakure, but I was killed by a sneak attack by the disguised Mist Ninjas on the way. I pledged my life and my loyalty to the village, but what I got was a shameful betrayal!"
"Sigh!"
Looking at Pakura who was full of grief and indignation, Chiyo suddenly let out a long sigh.
"It is indeed the village that has let you down. In fact, not only you, but even my Little Ryu has also been betrayed by the village. However, the people related to this matter, other than the Kazekage himself, have been dealt with by us. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future!"
"Thank you, Advisor Chiyo!"
After hearing Chiyo's words, the anger on Pakura's face also calmed down a lot. After thanking her, she shook her head.
"But it doesn't matter anymore. I am tired of this sad mortal fate. I have received the favor of His Holiness Hades, and I am able to obtain life again. Everything I have belongs to His Holiness. I have nothing to do with Sunagakure anymore!"
"His Holiness Hades?" Hearing Pakura's words, Chiyo immediately revealed a surprised expression, "What is that?"
"He's a god!"
As soon as Chiyo finished speaking, Pakura answered without hesitation.
"His Holiness Hades is the only true god, the ruler of death, the great god in charge of the Land of Impure, the supreme existence in the God Realm!"
Seeing Pakura's fanatical look, Chiyo widened her eyes, and Zhang Miao covered her face.
"Damn, how could she say such a stupid line? How shameful, it makes me feel embarrassed!"
Zhang Miao's actions obviously did not escape Chiyo's eyes, so she was even more shocked than before.
"Your Holiness Hades... Are you talking about Little Ryu?"
"Uh..." Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao smiled awkwardly at her. "Hehe, it is indeed me. Grandma, don't you believe me?"
"Yes!" Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Chiyo immediately nodded and looked at Zhang Miao with a kind smile.
"No matter what others think, to Grandma, Little Ryu is a god sent by the heavens to save Grandma. Well, even a god needs to rest. Go take a bath and then go to sleep!"
Chiyo's attitude also saved Zhang Miao the trouble of explaining, so he nodded and went to the bath.
But halfway, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Pakura with a sly smile.
"It's boring to wash myself alone. Pakura, come with me. We can rub each other's backs, hehe!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Pakura would not refuse Zhang Miao, so she immediately nodded.
But before she could come forward, Chiyo came to Zhang Miao before her and grabbed his hand.
"Little Ryu, Grandma is the best at cleaning backs. In the past, Little Sasori and his father were washed by me, so I will help you rub your back!"
With that, Chiyo took Zhang Miao's hand and walked to the bathroom.
When he reached the door of the bathroom, Zhang Miao finally reacted. He quickly reached out and grabbed the door frame of the bathroom, his head shaking like a rattle drum.
"No need, no need... I can wash myself. I'm hungry… Granny, go make breakfast. That way, I can eat breakfast after my bath!"
It was not the first time that Chiyo was helping Zhang Miao take a bath. In the past, Zhang Miao had used this kind of excuse to escape, so this time he also wanted to repeat the same trick.
But unfortunately, Chiyo did not buy this trick.
"Granny will make breakfast later. Let's help my little Ryu bathe first!"
"Uh..." Seeing Chiyo's determined look, Zhang Miao immediately revealed a bitter smile, "Can I wash myself?"
"Of course not!" As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Chiyo shook her head with a smile, "You child, granny will help you bathe, what is there to be shy about? Come on, quickly let go of the door frame!"
"Noooo!" Zhang Miao shook his head resolutely, "I would rather die than let go, unless you go make breakfast!"
"Hehe, then don't blame granny for using her ultimate move. I'll scratch your sides, hehe..."
"Hahahaha!"
What Zhang Miao was most afraid of was being scratched by Chiyo. His hand loosened from the door frame. Chiyo reacted quickly and pulled him into the bathroom. Then, with a "bang", she closed the bathroom door.
Not long later, Zhang Miao's scream came from the bathroom.
"Don't pull off my pants... My pants… Aaaaaaah!!!"
