"I'm going back to the village tomorrow. Are everything packed?" In the small courtyard, Uchiha Tatsumi sealed the last piece of luggage after scrolling, and looked up to ask Mikoto.

"It's packed." Mikoto didn't look up, but was carrying a water bottle, watering the bonsai.

Looked the girl was busy. Tatsumi moved a small bench from the room and sat next to her. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Since I'm so unwilling, I just take all of them back to Konoha."

Mikoto shaking one's head: "I have promised to give it to Yuzi Princess, how bad it would be to go back. It's okay, I just go back and plant again."

, Tatsumi put his arm on his chin and said: "I also helped you to collect a lot of seeds, but your little courtyard, is there still time to plant?"

"It seems like I'm out of time." Mikoto thought for a moment "Then plant it in your courtyard."

"But my courtyard is out of time."

Mikoto straightened up and stared at the youngster black pupils. , Asked: "What do you want to say? I always feel that you have hidden meaning."

Tatsumi's eyes were erratic: "I mean, the old house was old and small. Anyway, there are so many open spaces around. It's better to build a new house and surround a larger courtyard.

It's also saving...I run to you every day."

Mikoto's face flushed: "You are It means...to live in one house?"

"...Nor can you say that, it's still two houses, but the houses are closer together, it looks like they live in one house."

The corners of Mikoto's mouth bend into a nice arc, said with a smile: "You have a good idea—"

"Right, you also think it's good?" Tatsumi eyes shined, feeling a play.

"But I refuse."

"..."

"Would you like to be so direct--"

Tatsumi grumbled dissatisfied After a sentence, I still wanted to protest, but suddenly a silhouette of the ground appeared outside the door.

Youngster stood up and greeted him, and asked: "Senior, why are you free at this point?"

Said with a smile: "You guys will be there tomorrow morning Back to Konoha, I will send you off."

After moving a bench and handing it to the ground, Tatsumi was a little apologetic and said: "We also want to stay longer, but Third Hokage gave an order. We have to go back."

"It's okay, we all know that parting is a matter of time." Di Kong put his hands together, "In fact, it won't be long before I will leave."

"Temple of Backfire?"

"Yes, because of the Kakuzu attack, the temple of Fire has suffered heavy casualties. I want to go back to be the host."

Uh, how to listen Is there a feeling that the guardian can't stand it, go home and inherit the clan enterprise?

Society, society, really cannot afford to offend.

The soon to be promoted to the host of the ground, did not pay attention to Tatsumi's expression, and continued: "In fact, there is another thing coming today."

Speaking, he will be ready The scroll was taken out of his arms.

As the only temple in Land of Fire, the significance of its existence for a hundred years is of course not only symbolic, but also has many treasures that make people greedy.

For example, Ninjutsu in the empty hand.

"Come and kill Senju. This Ninjutsu is our Secret Jutsu of the Fire Temple. There are detailed training methods in this scroll, so it's a parting gift."

"This gift It's too expensive."

Shaking one's head: "It's just a Ninjutsu that's all. If you hadn't defeated Kakuzu, maybe the fire temple doesn't exist anymore, and it's just like incense. "

"Thank you then."

"Okay, I won't bother you two." Finally, after nodded to Tatsumi and Mikoto, the ground left the gate and turned away Walk around.

Looked at the disappearing silhouette, Mikoto emotionally said: "Senior is really a good person."

"Yes." Tatsumi nodded, "It is not unreasonable that the Temple of Fire can exist as a great influence in Land of Fire for so long."

"Okay, we Continue to talk about the house."

"wishful thinking." Mikoto snorted, turned and ran into the house.

...

...

Konoha In January 35th, the Land of Fire was covered by thick snow.

In spite of the bad weather, Konoha Lightning, who has been out as a guardian for two years, finally returned to the long-lost village.

Along with him, there are two disciplines of Tsunade Ji.

"Tatsumi Lord, it's registered..."

A doorman respectfully said to the youngster in front of him.

Although they are all Jonins of the same rank, the term "Lord" is not obtrusively used on youngster.

Tatsumi has just stepped down as Guardian Ninja. He does not have any permanent director positions in Konoha, let alone an administrative level, so he cannot be classified as a "high level", but only based on strength and reputation, he Already have a high status.

If anyone doubts, Tatsumi can say you can do it, even though his character doesn't care about such things or say such things.

After registration, Mikoto, Himeji, Nono and Kana went back to their homes, and Tatsumi walked into Hokage Residence by Shi Shiran.

Seeing the youngster coming from a distance, Anbu hiding around also disappeared from the figure.

Some things are not suitable for them to hear. As an insight, Jonin as Anbu still has them.

"I'm back."

Third Hokage alone, who hadn't seen him in a few years, stood in front of the window on the second floor, looking at the heavy snow outside the window.

"Well, Konoha Jonin, Uchiha Tatsumi, meet Third Hokage."

After Tatsumi walked two steps forward, he half-kneeled respectfully on the ground.

This is no way. The etiquette is unavoidable when you go out to execute a mission and come back to handover.

The youngster, who looked only at his chest a few years ago, is now almost as tall as himself. Third Hokage has gradually appeared wrinkled face, and it is also a moment of sorrow.

"Get up, go to Daimyo Mansion to be a guardian of Shinobu for the past two years. I have worked hard for you."

Tatsumi stood up, shaking one's head, and said: "The responsibility lies, for the village It's worth the hard work."

Third Hokage took the youngster to sit down in a chair, and patted the table with his hand, saying: "Your Anbu's job is also good. Shinnosuke often writes to praise you about Hidden Mist. Village, I want to hear your opinion."

This period of time, Hidden Mist Village has changed from a completely blocked state to a semi-blocked state, and many news have also drifted across the ocean one after another. Passed to the ears of each village.

But whether it was Third-Mizukage's actions or his various brutal behaviors, the ninjas of the villages did not adapt to them for a while, let alone what kind of posture to contact with them.

That's why Third Hokage wanted to hear the opinions of this Land-of-Water Chief-in-Charge.

Tatsumi calmly said: "The village of blood mist, this is what Third-Mizukage personally said. The policy of this village is only iron and blood. Whether it is for your own village or other villages.

When I meet Mist Ninja in the future, a slight dispute will blade and weapon faces one another, and it will only become the norm."

Third Hokage sighed and said: "How did it become like this? Two years ago See Third-Mizukage, he is not the kind of person he is now, and those trade agreements..."

"will not count, even I dare say that if there is another war, Hidden Mist Village will definitely The first one to invade the Land of Fire.

So, I suggest strengthening the defensive line and beware of sneak attacks in Hidden Mist Village."

Third Hokage thought for a moment, shaking one's head: "Great It shouldn't be a large-scale war in a short time, and neither Hidden Sand nor Hidden Stone has fully recovered..."

Listen to Third Hokage, Tatsumi somewhat helpless.

I have to fight because there is no recovery, otherwise I will always be crushed by Konoha!

It's just that no one is aware of this yet.
