After about two days of travel.

Kazukaze finally sees the gate of Konoha Village.

However, what he didn't expect was that Grandpa Tsuruma was wearing a feather weave at this time, leaning on the gate of Konoha Village.

It's like waiting for someone.

Zephyr gradually slowed down and walked slowly.

Sarutobi, on the other hand, took three steps and made two steps, bowing his head towards the pillar, "The first Hokage-sama! ”

Shuo Mao's eyes widened suddenly, he never dreamed that he would see the first Hokage in such a place.

And along the way, he told Ape Fei about the deeds between the pillars.

For the current Shuomao, the Thousand Hands Pillar is a god-like existence!

But......

Although Shuo Mao was excited, he was not confused.

The appearance of a big man like Zhuma here naturally could not be to greet him.

"It must be because of the wind."

Shuo Mao glanced at the side face of the wind and couldn't help but envy in his heart.

"I'm back, Hiza, haha, it doesn't need to be so formal, anyway, I can't be considered a Hokage now."

He clasped his hands around his chest and laughed.

He never had the frame that a ninja god should have.

"Yo, you're Shuo Mao of the Qimu family." The pillars looked Shuo Mao up and down.

It is indeed a talent.

"The first Hokage-sama, do you know me?" Shuomao's eyes widened wider than a cow's eyes, and he was flattered.

He never expected that the original Hokage would know his name!

"Of course, it was recommended by me and Kazuma, so that you can form a class with Zefeng, you are all the future of the village, and you must grow up well."

The pillar gently touched Shuomao's head, and a doting smile appeared.

Zephyr sees all this in his eyes.

He could feel the high expectations that Pillar had for his juniors.

"But...... What is the purpose of Lord Pillars? Ape Fei interjected into the conversation between the pillars and Shuo Mao.

Although the pillars are approachable, there must be something wrong with this kind of place.

"Ah, nothing important."

Pillar deliberately appeared with a thinking expression, "Maybe it's a whim, Sun Slash, can you lend me the wind for a while?" ”

"Ah......" Ape Fei couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Ma to talk to himself in such a tone.

But this matter related to the wind, Ape Fei had already guessed it in his heart.

"After all, you're the captain of Zephyr now." Pillar said with a smile.

In this way, after getting Sarutobi's permission, Tsuruma turned to look at Zephyr and made an invitation to the eldest grandson.

Zephyr naturally did not refuse.

Anyway, there are still a few hours of cooldown time before the fourth check-in.

"However, what is the matter with Grandpa Zhuma looking for me?" Kazukaze couldn't help but say.

"There's no rush on this."

Pillar grabbed Kazukaze's arm, lifted him up, and carried him behind his back.

When Kazukaze was put down, he followed the pillar to a clearing.

Behind him is a dense wood.

In front of him is the unobstructed view of Konoha Village.

"This is ......"

Kazukaze walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, and what greeted him confirmed his suspicions.

Over here......

It's just above the Hokage Rock!

Although it has been more than a year since I traveled to this world, it is the first time that Zephy has come here.

In particular, this condescending perspective of Konoha Village gives Wafeng a different experience.

"Why did you come to such a place?" Zephyr turned around and couldn't help but ask.

Until now, he couldn't figure out what medicine was being sold in the gourd between the pillars.

I saw a clapping of both hands between the pillars, "Mu Dun, Wooden Table Technique!" ”

In front of the pillars, vines bulge from the ground and then become thick, turning into a low table of solid wood.

Then, Tsuruma took out the scroll from Haori's sleeve and used spiritism.

The prepared sake and hot tea were placed on the table.

Then the picnic carpet was laid out.

With the forest behind him, it has a unique flavor.

He took three steps and two steps, walked to the picnic carpet, took off his shoes, and finished them cross-legged.

for he was not accustomed to sitting on his knees.

"After completing this escort mission, you will be a real ninja, Zephyr." Pillar said with a smile.

"yes, to be honest, I didn't expect to become a ninja so quickly." Kazukaze asked tentatively, "So, is Grandpa Pillar celebrating for me?" ”

"Haha, of course, no."

Zephyr: "??? ”

Who knows, the smile between the pillars turned into a doting smile, but it was not a smile for the wind.

He grabbed the wine cup on the table and sprinkled it with dirt on the side.

It looks more like a tribute to someone.

"I have a friend."

"Hmm." Kazukaze nodded in response, and when Tsuruma mentioned his friend, he guessed the man's name.

Spot!

And, the wind can feel the true feelings between the pillars.

"It was an afternoon, and we met each other by the creek."

"We train together, we compete together, we play in the water, we run, we climb hills, we go and so on."

"When we were tired, we would sit down and talk about our ideals and the younger brother we wanted to protect."

"It was at that time that we made up our minds and promised each other that we would end the war in the future."

"Let all children be open and honest with each other, unlike us ......"

"I obviously value each other and care about each other, but I can't even tell each other my surname."

Pillar shook his head helplessly, the corners of his mouth rose, a wry smile appeared, and then swallowed the wine in the wine cup in one gulp.

On this point, Zephyr is very clear.

During the Warring States period, even a child who was only four or five years old would have blood on his hands.

Once you tell the other person their last name, they can't be friends.

Pillar and Madara hide from each other, precisely to maintain this friendship.

"And then?" Kazukaze couldn't help but ask.

"Later? All sorts of things happened, we learned who we were, and we discovered the hatred of each other's families. ”

"As much as we want to get out of it all, we don't have enough power."

"On the battlefield, we have fought again and again, but we have shown mercy to our men everywhere."

"Until we each became the patriarch of the family."

At this point, Tsuruma took another sip of wine, knocked the empty cup on the table, and poured himself another glass.

As for the part where Kazuma killed Izuna, Pillar deliberately didn't say it.

"After that, we put aside our family hatred and established Konoha Village."

"I was going to let him be the Hokage, thinking that as long as he had something worth protecting, he would be able to ......"

When he said this, Pillar smiled bitterly again.

Whether it's the daimyo of the Fire Country, the younger brother, or the representatives of the major families in the village.

No one stood by Madara's side.

Compared to Madara, they consider themselves more suitable to serve as the Hokage of Konoha.

What a ninja god.

What is closest to the existence of the Six Dao Immortals.

In the end, even the most important friend can't help.

"Grandpa, the person you're talking about is Madara Uchiha, right?" Kazukaze stood up from the picnic carpet and walked up, patting the pillar on the shoulder and smiling.

"I've heard your story."

"Because grandpa is good at wood escape, the village is called Konoha Village, and because Madara is good at fire escape, the leader of the village is called Hokage, right?"
