"Is this the village where Lord Ling was born and raised?"

Standing at the door, Bai had already seen the sensational flow of people inside, the bustling shops, and the laughter and shouting one after another.

"Ahh

The village has not changed much, but it is not small, and it is more prosperous than before.

"Kakashi-sama?"

When Ling and Kakashi were standing at the door, the ninja in charge of guarding the gate spotted them.

"Did you just come back from a mission? This person is" greeted Kakashi, and the ninja immediately looked at Ling beside Kakashi suspiciously, and his words were guessing.

With a good appearance, a perfect body, a costume that introduces speculation, and ninja sandals on his feet, Ling's appearance makes the ninja guarding the gate tell at a glance that he is a ninja. But what's the deal with those eyes? Those weird pupils, colors, and eyeballs, are they still human eyes?

"I met a task on the way." Kakashi gave a false explanation, trying to distract the ninja, and then stepped forward and entered the village.

"That's it!" The ninja nodded when he heard this, but still looked at Ling, "Although I came with Kakashi-sama, please register as well, this is the procedure that must be passed to enter Konoha." With that, the ninja took out a roster-like notebook and walked over to Ling.

Holding back a glance at the ninja, Ling's eyes instantly began to change strangely, "Take a closer look, I've already registered it, haven't I" The light voice was light, but there was no trace of charm mixed in.

"Uh" The ninja was stunned, his eyes a little misty, "yes, it seems that it has indeed been registered"

Kakashi lowered his eyes and looked at Ling with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

As if sensing Kakashi's affection, Ling opened his mouth to explain, "It's just to save unnecessary trouble, and it's just hypnosis, it doesn't hurt his spirit." ”

After saying that, without waiting for Kakashi's reaction, he walked straight forward. Junmaro and Bai glanced at each other and followed Ling's footsteps, while Bai bowed to Kakashi before leaving.

"What, it's so unpleasant!" Naruto gritted his teeth, looking at Ling's back with disdain and resentment. Vaguely, Ling seemed to have a deeper hostility in Naruto's heart.

"You know what! Crane tail! Sasuke's face sank. It's so light that you can solve a gatekeeper's middle ninja, this guy

Although Ling's strength was undoubted, Sasuke still felt uncomfortable.

"Alright, it's time for us to report on the mission." Seeing that Sasuke and Naruto were about to quarrel again, Kakashi changed the subject.

I also want to tell the three generations of Hokage that it is good Looking at Ling Xianlu's back, Kakashi sighed.

And Ling Hebai and Jun Malu set off a storm on the streets

Walking on the street in a group of three, the figures of Ling Hebai and Jun Malu aroused the watches and speculations of countless people. The gathering of such three outstanding people is bound to attract countless eyeballs and discussions.

"Hey, look at those guys!"

"So handsome, I like that one in black, it's beautiful!"

"No, it's still that white-haired handsome, so cool!"

"The other one, that girl! Sky! She laughs so beautifully."

Chatters and whispers like this fill the streets of Konoha.

"Lord Ling, are we?" Feeling the gaze around him, Jun Malu frowned slightly, asking what Ling meant.

"Ignore them." Ling opened his mouth lightly, glanced at a direction in the distance, and the steps under his feet seemed to speed up a little, "Let's go to the station to rest first"

"Yes!"

Not to mention the speculation that Ling and the others left all the way, in the Hokage Building, the seventh squad that completed the mission of the country of waves was reporting the beginning and end of the mission to the three generations of Hokage.

"That's why the client is hiding the level of the mission."

With his pipe in his mouth, the three Hokage carefully flipped through the mission report that Kakashi had put together, such a thing was very common and every ninja village experienced it, although he was also a little surprised by the level of the enemies Kakashi encountered on this mission. And Kakashi had already found a reason to send Naruto Sasuke and Sakura away before coming in, looking at the somewhat old appearance of the three generations and the already rugged figure, frowning, and still said Ling's return.

"Hokage-sama, we met on the way to the mission"

"How?" Looking at Kakashi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the third generation was a little curious, and then asked jokingly, "Who did you meet?" Self-lai, too? Or Tsunade? ”

Despite the playful look, the three generations have vaguely guessed something. If it were Tsunade or Jiraiya, Kakashi wouldn't be like this, it would

"No," Kakashi's eyes pressed a little lower, "It's Ling Uchiha." ”

The three generations were stunned when they heard this, their eyes were shocked, complicated, and a little unbelievable. But in an instant, sighs, anticipation, and sad looks converged in the already old and cloudy eyes.

Silent, Miyo picked up his pipe and took a quiet puff, the stirring in his throat seemed to be much more violent than usual.

"And he's back to Konoha with us," Kakashi said again, looking at the three generations.

The three generations were silent, and the floating smoke shrouded his figure in a hazy appearance, and for a long time, he sighed lightly: "Is it Ling" The subtle tone seemed to be a question, like a sigh.

Kakashi was silent, his usual languid gaze no longer at this time. In the past, he didn't seem to know much about the feelings and bonds between master and apprentice, but after passing through the seventh class formed with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, he vaguely realized something.

"He's grown up, hasn't he?"

Kakashi was silent, and Miyo asked again. Although it is a question sentence, the soft tone seems to be speaking to himself.

"I'm sure I'm going to grow up to be a better ninja, right?"

"Yes!" Kakashi responded, "The growth of the writing wheel eye has made my eye unable to see the bottom line, the perfect ninjutsu that integrates offense and defense, people can't feel the illusion skills he is casting at all, the ninjutsu that can be launched in a flash, he" Kakashi said here and paused, and did not continue.

"Hehe, yes!" The three generations smiled, but there was some bitter affection in their eyes, "He used to be a genius whose talent was not inferior to Orochimaru, no"

The three generations stood up and walked to the window, the white Hokage robe outlining the already thin body, "If Orochimaru is a genius that will be born in decades, then Ling is a ghost talent who will only come into existence in hundreds of years!" His existence and achievements have almost changed the definition of the use of ninja power! ”

"Hokage-sama" Kakashi whispered, looking at the back of the three generations with some concern.

The power that Ling is showing so far is terrifying enough, so what about the ones that haven't been revealed? The three generations admired Ling like this, and Ling did deserve such praise, but the root of the problem was Ling's true purpose of returning to Konoha at this time! A person who has no one to restrain him, returns to his former village, and faces his former colleagues, teachers, just to treat his subordinates? If not, then what is his real purpose? At a time when Konoha had already sent out the United Allies to conduct the Shinobi Exam, he returned

"Kakashi" Just as Kakashi was also guessing Ling's intentions, the third generation spoke softly, and the old voice seemed to have some incredible compromise, and said, "Don't make a noise about this matter first, I will personally determine it"

"Yes!"

Ling, if you come back, the House of Elders will definitely pay attention to it, after all, you are too good, and you are one of the few people in this world who knows the truth of that incident, so what is the true meaning of your return to Konoha at such a moment

Looking out the window, accompanied by the aroma of tobacco around them, the three generations sighed

During Kakashi's conversation with Miyo, Ling had already taken Haku and Kimimaro to the former Uchiha clan's residence.

Lifeless streets, clumps of weeds, weathered and rain-eroded Uchiha emblems that are no longer visible, and all sorts of wooden buildings that seem to be unable to withstand a trace of power

The Uchiha clan, which once had infinite glory, has fallen into ruin, without the slightest trace of its former glory.

Walking quietly on such a street, the footsteps of Ling and his party brought up a puff of dust.

"Lord Ling is here," Bai said softly, puzzled.

This place makes Bai feel weird, it is obviously a sunny sky, but it is always gloomy, and the depressing atmosphere makes people feel uneasy, but when you perceive it carefully, there is nothing.

Ling was silent, and his back was not at all as happy as he had when he had seen Kakashi's seventh class before.

Yes, when I saw the seventh class Hou Ling, who was the protagonist of this world, his attitude was to explore with a slight excitement, but now he seems to have returned to his past state, or he is closer to the real than in the past.

Walking in front of a detached house resembling a small villa, Ling stopped and stared at the house in front of him a little blankly.

Like the scene on the street, this house is also a trace of countless accumulation, the original beautiful brown wooden doors are not visible in their original color, and even weeds and some unnamed plants have grown on the walls outside, and the smell of decay is everywhere.

Closing his eyes and breathing, Ling seemed to be adjusting his feelings, opened his eyes again and walked to the door, took out a key, and inserted it into the already rusted keyhole.

Click! Click! The deadbolt turned, and a slight rust fell, and a glimmer of light slowly revealed.

With dusty floors and dark, cracked walls, the house has no signs of being once inhabited

The friction of the wooden structure driven by the opening of the door sounded, Ling Scarlet's eyes were deeper than before, and his mouth also gently said a name that Bai and Jun Malu felt unfamiliar with.

I am back
