0316 lacks a lot of grace (Ch 0316)

When he returned to the doorstep of his home, Dong Si saw Xing Si and his family of three sitting together in the front yard. They were talking and laughing, and they didn’t even notice that Dong Si had entered the front yard.

The sun shines in the yard, adding a soft color to this warm picture. The three members of Koji’s family sit together, their faces filled with happy smiles. Uncle Hayaki and Aunt Eko are talking quietly, while Koji is dancing and talking about something, and his lively appearance makes people laugh.

“Hello, Uncle Hayaki, Aunt Eko, and Yukiji. Are you waiting for me here?” Dongsi greeted first.

“That’s right. I’ve been waiting for you to come back, Dong Si.” Zaohui raised his hand and gestured to Dong Si to come here quickly. There was a friendly smile on his face and his eyes were full of anticipation.

“Brother Dongsi!” Yukiji called Dongsi happily as he stood up and ran over.

Dong Si patted Yukiji’s head, and seeing that there were no extra seats, he sat on the floor casually.

Eiko wanted to push the seat that Kouji was sitting on to Touji, but Touji stopped her. “Uncle and aunt brought Kouji to wait for me. Is there something going on?”

Dong Si thought to himself, is he trying to get me to use my connections to help Xing Si find a guiding jonin?

“We are here to thank you!” As she said this, Zhizi picked up a square box wrapped in cloth from her side with both hands.

“Koji was assigned to an elite jonin class of the Sarutobi family. We know that this opportunity must be due to your relationship.” Eiko’s face was full of gratitude, and she held the gift in both hands, looking very solemn.

In fact, Toushi hadn’t paid attention to which instructor Kouji was assigned to, and was about to refuse the gift. “Sarutobi?” Toushi’s face showed a surprised expression. He really didn’t expect Kouji to be assigned a teacher from the Sarutobi clan, and an elite jonin. After all, he thought it was good to have a second-rate ninja to lead Kouji.

“It’s Mr. Kazuhiko! Mr. Kazuhiko said he knows you, Toushi-ni.” Kouji took the gift from his mother and stuffed it into Toushi’s chest. Kouji’s movements were a little anxious, and he seemed to want Toushi to accept the gift.

“Uh…it turns out to be Kazuhiko Jonin.” Dong Si didn’t know how to explain anything, so he took the gift and put it aside. “Uncle and aunt, you don’t have to give gifts. We are all relatives. Why be so polite?” Dong Si reluctantly took the gift, feeling a little emotional. He knew that this gift represented the thoughts of the Xingsi family, but he also felt a little embarrassed because the person who actually came forward to negotiate with the third generation was the old patriarch.

“Brother Touji, my classmates are also very good. One is called Nara Haruhi and the other is called Shimura Kazuki. I heard that they are both from big families!” Yukiji was still showing off how amazing his Genin class was. His face was full of pride, and he seemed to be full of expectations for his new class.

When Touji heard “Shimura”, he couldn’t help but think of the dark image of Shimura Danzo wrapped in bandages, but he still smiled and said to Kouji, “Then you have to work hard and don’t let them leave you far behind.”

Seeing that the Yukishi family was still very interested, Dongsi planned to welcome them into the house. Zhizi quickly refused, saying that she had to prepare a big dinner tonight to celebrate, and also reminded Dongsi to remember to invite his parents to have dinner next door.

After seeing off Kouji’s family, Touji thought to himself that he should find a time to invite Kazuhiko to dinner and thank him in person. After all, the elite jonin of the Sarutobi family, no matter which student they take, it is not just as simple as looking at the student’s personal qualifications.

Dong Si was somewhat helpless. He had always been taken care of by Kazuhiko and he always felt that he owed Kazuhiko a lot of favors.
