Chapter 48: Interlude
“…… That's it, Miss. ”
The delicate girl is dressed in a purple kimono, which is in the most traditional style, and it is a wealthy dress that is only suitable for home, and it is rarely seen in ordinary people's homes.
At this time, the girl was saluting slightly to the people on the main seat, signaling that she had finished her report, and on her exposed back, a bright flame fan family emblem indicated her identity.
"......" The person on the main seat was silent for a moment, and asked softly, "Fog Hidden Seven Swords?" Was he injured? ”
Although she was young, the young waiter girl who was able to do things immediately replied, "No, Tomo-sama is very happy, it seems that Makoto-sama has made a great contribution this time." ”
The girl in a silver-gray velvet robe sat in front of her, rarely clenching her small fist slightly, revealing a little uneasiness: "Did he say anything?" ”
Of course, the maiden wouldn't mistake this "he" for Tomoo Uchiha, but she could only shake her head regretfully, cleverly avoiding an answer that would disappoint her master: "I don't know, Tomoo-sama went to see the Great Elder in a hurry, and I didn't dare to delay his time more." ”
The world was not disappointed - or rather she did not show the disappointment on her face, she nodded and gestured, "I see, Kabuki-san, thank you." ”
Uchiha Kabuki hurriedly lowered his head and saluted again: "This is my honor, how dare I be the eldest lady's thanks." ”
"Hmm." The world smiled at her, and the girl named Kabuki took a playful retirement.
Looking at her departing back, a chill appeared in the clear pupils of the world like ice.
Didn't tell the truth...... One by one, there is something hiding from me.
"Mrs. Komatsu." The world said suddenly.
"The old body is here."
"What kind of reward should be given for such a feat as defeating the Seven?" The girl smoothed the silver-gray folds on her legs and asked casually.
"The last man to achieve this kind of feat is now the leader of the top five clans in the clan."
Really...... In other words, you can at least get a captain-level position.
"Miss World," Komatsu, who was standing next to him, looked at the girl he had served since he was a child, and said softly, "If you care so much about Makoto-sama, why don't you want to see him?" ”
The sunlight shone through the window and shone on the right hand that the world stretched out in front of her, and the jade-like skin was almost transparent, and the cyan veins seemed to be faintly visible.
Watching his right hand cast a slender shadow in the sunlight, the world said in a light tone: "I'm just not sure that I won't mention the light in front of him." ”
Komatsu looked at the world hidden in shadows from the waist up except for her right hand, and in the darkness, only the girl's bright eyes stared thoughtfully at her own palm.
That kind of calm and calm aura is very similar to the usual Great Elder.
"Grandma Komatsu", the childish, soft and milky voice seems to still be in the ears, when did this girl grow up so majestic and cold?
"Mrs. Komatsu, what order did Grandpa give you?"
Xiao Song shuddered violently, sobering up from her delusions, she fell to the ground in fear, and defended: "Miss World, in the thirteen years that the old body has served you, the great elder has only given the old body one order, that is, to take good care of you and not be harmed in any way. ”
Lie......
If anyone knows best about the status and respect of the world in the family, it is undoubtedly the world itself, in this case, only grandpa can do it if the servants can unite and hide something from themselves, right?
"Get up," facing the trembling Uchiha Komatsu, the world slowed down his tone and said softly: "I don't mean anything else, and I know your feelings for me, so let's do it, you help me clean up, and I want to see grandpa later." ”
"Yes." Komatsu got up gratefully, stepped back to the door, and turned to leave the room.

"That's all the way it happened, he is willing to repeat the entire detailed battle process to the clan, and specially gave the family four famous swords of the Misty Ninja." Tomoo bowed slightly, signaling that he had finished what he was about to say.
"Really?" The Great Elder cast his gaze with great interest: "Bamen Dunjia, it is surprising that there is such an amazing power in the 'Death Gate', that man named Dai is really amazing." ”
"Yes," Tomoo replied, "Maite Dai is the object of our attention, although Hokage-sama has always suppressed his rank in order to protect him, but this incident has finally proved his worth. ”
The Great Elder shook his head and said in the slow tone of the old man's characteristic, "The Sun Slash Lord wouldn't do that. ”
Tomoo frowned and asked tentatively, "What do you mean ......?"
"The Eight Gates Dunjia that I wear, although I can't hide it from Wuyin anymore, but with the closure of Wuyin Village, it may not be exposed to other villages." The Great Elder said.
"I understand, in this way, the information of the [Death Gate] of the Eight Gates Dunjia still has the value of secrecy." Tomoo immediately understood what the Great Elder meant.
If this kind of thing was only used as a secret method to temporarily improve combat effectiveness and have serious sequelae, then now, it is a peerless weapon that is enough to turn the tide at a critical moment, and this kind of thing, if it is not necessary, no one will want it to circulate.
"So," the Great Elder looked at him and said, "Makoto's record this time is different from the notation you just mentioned. ”
Lead the master-apprentice class to break through the fog and hide seven swords? Tomoo's eyes widened slightly in surprise, if that was the case, it would be amazing.
"But if that's the case, it's not good for Makoto." Although the clan is always exaggerating Makoto's "genius" achievements, this degree of elevation and exaggeration is far beyond Makoto's true strength, and for a ninja, it is really difficult to predict whether the fame beyond his own strength is a blessing or a curse.
"It's okay, Tomo." The Great Elder said.
"Yes." Tomoo bowed and saluted.
After seeing that the matter was explained, the Great Elder closed his eyes slightly, and said a little tiredly: "Explain everything clearly to Cheng, don't hide it." ”
"I understand."
The Great Elder waved his hand, knowing that he didn't want to speak anymore, and Tomoo left quietly.
"Great Elder." Outside, an attendant cautiously pushed open the door, and saw the old man closing his eyes slightly, sitting quietly in the hall, there was silence inside and outside the mansion, no one dared to disturb him at this time, except for one person: "Miss World is here." ”
The tall old man opened his eyes, looked gentle, and nodded for the servant to let his granddaughter in.
