"You're Tomoki Uzumaki, aren't you? The head of the family has been waiting for you for a while. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

An old man with gray hair, standing at the door, glanced at Tomoki Uzumaki and said.

As he spoke, the old man didn't wait for Tomoki Uzumaki to reply, he turned around and walked directly towards the courtyard.

Tomoki simply followed directly. When he stepped over the stone steps and entered this courtyard, Tomoki couldn't help but feel deeply moved by such a delicate and quaint courtyard.

"In Konoha, although the original housing structure is still preserved in many places, I am afraid that only the big family is so well preserved......

However, the old man who led the way in front heard Tomoki's words, and couldn't help but say proudly,

"Well, this courtyard has been around since I was a child, and it is said that construction began here when the first adults chose a place to build the village. It can be said that it was the first buildings of the village. ”

Tomoki also nodded, counting it, at the time of the first generation, it was a long time ago for this ninja world that was not very old.

But this is also the case in the qualified world, where large families maintain an ancient architectural style and way of life.

But new life is flooding the village, with electric lights, magazines, and beautiful women's photos.

Many times, Tomoki feels a deep sense of incomprehension of this world where modern and ancient are blended.

But there is a different kind of fun in living in it.

The old man didn't seem to be talkative, but at this time, it seemed that he was led away from the topic by Tomoki Uzumaki. I can't hold it with one mouth.

He turned his head and glanced at Tomoki Uzumaki,

"Speaking of which, there are very few people from other families who can come here. Especially at your age, I'm afraid you should have a lot of achievements, right? It's a pity that I don't care about the outside world anymore, otherwise I would have more things to talk about. ”

Since the old man in front of him didn't mean to target himself. Of course, Tomoki was also polite, "Where, I just did something insignificant." ”

"You don't have to be too humble, but your name is Tomoki Uzumaki...... Is it someone from the Vortex Clan?"

The old man frowned slightly, as if he was trying to remember something.

"That's right, but there are only a few people in the clan now, and they're scattered all over the place. ”

"Oh, and speaking of which, you're not the first Vortex clansman to set foot here. I remember that more than thirty years ago, the Uzumaki clan used to come to Konoha a lot. Even the Hyuga clan has invited your ancestors to visit. Ahem, it's another thing of old rotten grain. ”

The old man seemed to realize that what he said was too far away. Even from this voice, you can hear some rotten smell.

But for Tomoki, that's something new.

Speaking of which, at that time, there had not been an incident in which several countries were afraid of the power of the Vortex Clan and joined forces to destroy the Uzumaki Clan.

On the contrary, at that time, there were many countries that were afraid of the Uzumaki Clan, and I am afraid that that time was considered the heyday of the Vortex Clan.

Communicating with Konoha and being invited to visit the hinterland of the Hyuga clan should be some normal things.

"Alright, that's it. The head of the house is waiting for you inside, and I should go out too. ”

As he spoke, the bluestone brick-paved road had come to an end, and in front of it was a traditional Japanese-style room.

After all, many of the rooms in the village are Western-style rooms.

However, unlike the earth that existed before Tomoki, the Western-style room in Konoha is not the product of cultural invasion.

Rather, it is the blending of the village of Konoha and the cultures of other countries around it.

"Thank you so much for telling me about the family that I don't know much about. ”

Although the old man in front of him only spoke a small part, Tomoki was polite and expressed his gratitude to the old man.

"Haha, I didn't expect to be able to find such a young junior who is willing to listen to things for so long. I like you very much. ”

With that, the old man turned and left.

Tomoki was slightly stunned, with a slight smile on his lips.

"It seems that the Hyuga clan is not full of contradictions......"

"Of course not. ”

Just as Tomoki was thinking, a stiff voice interrupted his thoughts.

Tomoki turned his head to look,

Hula!

The paper door of the wooden frame was opened, and a middle-aged man in a white kimono stood straight behind the door.

Hinata Hinata!

"Tomoki Uzumaki, come in. ”

Tomoki didn't make a sound, because he felt that it was not appropriate for him to use any kind of title to address the other party now.

At least for now, it seems that Hinata Hinata has not expressed his dissatisfaction with himself in the open.

I have not directly denied my own opinion.

However, it is a question of whether Hinata Hinata is an enemy for the current Tomoki.

Even if there is a fundamental contradiction between them.

So even if the other side is older, Tomoki can't be called uncle, or uncle. It is very likely that Hinata Hinata is not a friendly existence for him.

Of course, out of politeness, it is even more impossible for Tomoki to directly call the name of the other side.

So Tomoki thought about it, so he didn't call him anymore, just took off his shoes outside the paper door and walked in.

"Hojicha, powder, or sencha?"

Rarely, Tomoki originally thought that Hinata Hinata would entertain him with a tea ceremony, but he didn't expect that he would ask his opinion directly.

It's just that Tomoki doesn't know anything about the classification of these teas.

And at least for now, Tomoki doesn't feel anything about tea as a drink.

Most people like tea, generally of two kinds, one is because of the vassalage and elegance.

Or maybe it's to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.

There are actually very few people who really know how to taste tea and love tea.

At least for now, Tomoki doesn't like tea.

But hearing Hinata Hinata actually ask his opinion, Tomoki subconsciously said,

"Is there sake?"

“……”

Hinata Hinata was obviously stunned for a moment, standing on top of the seat, and it took a long time to react.

(Xiju, transliterated as tatami mat.) I'm afraid everyone is more familiar with this name. However, I think the former is more appropriate, so I use a seat here. ）

"Why? Don't you want to try these teas?"

Tomoki shook his head, "Forget it, I don't like tea, and I don't have the ability to taste it, so sake is just right." However, if you are going to talk about something soon, it is better to come to plum sake, which is soft and comfortable. ”

"Good...... It's rare to see someone who speaks directly in front of me. ”

As she spoke, Hinata turned to another carved cabinet with many white jade-like porcelain wine bottles.
