Chapter 37: The Eve of Departure
Konoha.
"Hokage-sama, the envoy of the prince has arrived. "Shadows.
"Let him in. "Me.
"Yes. The dark part got up and opened the door, "Please come in." ”
"I've seen Hokage-sama. "Messenger.
"I wonder what happened to the prince?" I asked, sitting in my chair.
"The prince would like to invite you to the funeral of the Daimyo. "Messenger.
"We also have to prepare for the funeral of three generations, so hopefully there will be no conflict in time. "Me.
"The Daimyo's funeral will be held in two days. "Messenger.
"So fast?"
"Because after ten days it is suitable for burial. "Messenger.
"Ten days?"
"According to custom, the coffin of the daimyo is worshipped for seven days, and it is buried immediately after the seven days, so it takes ten days. "Messenger.
"Got it, please rest first, and tomorrow we will go to the royal city together. "Me.
"Yes. And the messenger withdrew.
I said to the shadows, "Tell me to go down and act tomorrow." ”
"Yes. The shadows left.
"After spending such a heavy price to lure the God of Extermination to the bait, I must return the God of Extermination. ”

Tavern.
Asma drank another cup of tea and looked at the teacup in frustration.
“……”
"Captain Kakashi. The dark part came to the table.
"Huh?"
Kakashi got up and walked out with the shadows.
"What's the matter?" Kakashi.
"Hokage-sama has an order, act tomorrow. "Shadows.
"Got it. "Kakashi.
"I'll take my leave. "Shadows.
Kakashi returned to the tavern.
"What?'s a mission tomorrow?" Asma asked Kakashi.
"Hokage-sama's order, so I can't go play with you tomorrow. "Kakashi.
"When will you be back?" Kay.
"We can wait for you to come back. "Red beans.
"We only received an order to assemble, and we don't know the content yet, so we don't know when we'll be back. "Kakashi.
"What will be the task in such a period?"
"Who knows, a team was sent on a mission just a few days ago, probably similar to them. "Kakashi.
(!————)
"I heard you've done something big. "Sea Devils.
"Just did something that was going to be done sooner or later. "Dark Devil.
"The chief is very praising you. "Heavenly Devil.
"So, what are you going to do next?"
"It won't be long before the Land of Fire will be in our possession. "Dark Devil.
"I don't think it went so well. "Sea Devils.
"Why?"
"A woman's intuition. "Sea Devils.
"Although the three generations of Hokage are dead, the strength of the five generations of Hokage cannot be underestimated. "Heavenly Devil.
"Uchiha Rain and Uchiha Snow have always been two people fighting together, the combination of the two people, the strength is certainly strong, but Uchiha Yuki is dead, only Uchiha Yu is left, what can he do. "Dark Devil.
"The fate of the enemy is very miserable. "Sea Devils.
"He's not as cautious as you are. "Heavenly Devil.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. "Sea Devils.
"You women are worried about this, worried about that. "Dark Devil.
"Hmph, whatever you want. "Sea Devils.

Konoha.
In the evening, I left the office and went out into the street, and when I was hungry, I came to Ichiraku Ramen.
"Welcome, what would you like to eat?"
"It's been a long time, Sister Calamus. "Me.
"Ah, Hokage-sama. Calamus saluted.
"Where's Uncle Ichiraku?"
"My dad is sick, so I've been managing the noodle shop for the past few days. "Calamus," is it still the same?"
"Yes, but pack. "Me.
"Okay. "Calamus.
Calamus started to make noodles, but Sister Calamus seemed to have something to say, and she looked at me from time to time.
"Say whatever you want. "Me.
"Xiaoxue, she ......" Calamus looked like she was about to cry.
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, no problem." ”
“……”
Then, while making noodles, Irisa talked about the scene when she played with Xiaoxue and Xia Yun before.
As I spoke, I burst into tears, and although I wanted to comfort her and tell her everything, I didn't say a word for fear that the wall would have ears.
"Let's go. "Calamus's tears fell into the bowl.
"Ahh ”
Calamus poured out the ramen and made a new one.
"Goodbye. "Me.
"Please walk slowly. "Calamus.
I walked in the direction of home with my ramen in my hand.
"It's been a long time since I've been home......"
I came to the clan land, walking on the deserted street, the street lamp was on for some reason, I walked in curiously, and found that the bulb of the street lamp was new, although the lamppost was rusty, I reached out and touched it, and there was no dust. The streets seem to have been swept because there is no garbage or leaves in sight.
"I remember, Sister Calamus seems to have said that she and Xiaoxue have cleaned up...... However, there are only three people, why do you clean the whole street so cleanly......"
Passing by Sasuke's house, he saw that it was dark in the house, "It's almost 10 o'clock now, Sasuke should be sleeping." ”
came to the door of the house, "The first time I came back so early, I usually go home at almost 0:00." ”
I opened the door and it was pitch black, I turned on the light and took out my slippers, I thought there would be ash on them, but they were spotless, after all, I came back late and had to get up early the next day, so I didn't wear slippers anymore.
"Light Snow ......"
I put on my slippers, went to the living room, turned on the TV, and watched TV while eating noodles......
