Konoha has various big meetings, and Hanyu has held it once, and I don't know why he was rarely called after that.

The higher-ups are concerned about the rapid changes in the village after the war and the future strategy, while for the ordinary people of Konoha and even the grassroots ninjas, the focus is only on the winter festival that will be held in the near future...... When the war is over, people always need to express their joy.

Although this joy is largely just an emotional backlash, the oppression, fear, and uneasiness brought about by years of war always need a channel and some way to release it.

Just a week after Hanyu returned to Konoha, Orochimaru also walked out of the dragon cave and returned to the village, and unsurprisingly, he completed the trial of the dragon cave and signed a psychic contract with that place...... Of course, his main contract object must have been replaced by another snake, maybe a thousand snakes.

And in such a short period of time, Orochimaru will only complete the simplest psychic contract trial, of course, he can't see the White Snake Immortal like Hanyu, and even for the current Orochimaru, he has never heard of who the White Snake Immortal is...... Speaking of which, the image of the immortal white snake that Orochimaru has been pursuing is not the white phosphorus snake.

But regardless of whether he saw the White Snake Immortal or not, at this time, Orochimaru had evolved from a ninja with a snake in his name to a real expert who could play with snakes.

After Orochimaru came back from the Dragon Cave, Hanyu also deliberately came to the door to observe the other party's mental state, after all, he was not afraid of 10,000, but the result was that he was not aware of the existence of this "what if", and Orochimaru was still the same as before.

Such a thick and long snake can't scare Orochimaru, this kind of mental tenacity and personality fearlessness, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing...... Compared to Orochimaru, the human side of Jiraiya is much more obvious.

This white-haired kid always fails when learning ninjutsu, afraid of ghosts, afraid of frog cooking, afraid of Tsunade's fists, and sometimes works hard, and if he tries too hard, he will be lazy, and even peep.

And when he laughed, he was really silly and silly. Sometimes Hanyu can't figure it out, Orochimaru is crippled like that, it's a matter of character, so why was Jiraiya so sunny and cute when he was a child, and then he completely became a greasy uncle.

Isn't it good to write a biography of perseverance and perseverance, why write about an intimate paradise...... What, strong perseverance and patience have hit the streets, and intimacy paradise has sold well?

Oh, that's fine.

After the end of the war, Jiraiya's whereabouts became unpredictable, sometimes in Konoha and sometimes in Myoki Mountain, but before the winter festival, he returned to the village.

And as this festival approaches, Konoha gradually begins to be lively and not like a ninja village, this hidden village is not hidden at all. There were even quite a few ordinary people from the Fire Nation who came from outside, and they were allowed to enter the village after being checked.

From the main street in the middle of Konoha Village to the hot spring town where Hanyu lives, each street in Konoha is lined with red lanterns on both sides.

There are parades, performances, and food vendors, and after dark, the Hokage parades through the village with a ceremonial procession.

Compared to the celebration organized by the daimyo on the previous trip to the Daimyo Castle, Konoha's winter festival is smaller, more lively, and more spontaneous, and it is a real celebratory atmosphere.

Hanyu himself was not interested in such activities, but as the evening approached, the sound of gongs, drums and fireworks had already begun to reach his ears incessantly, and he could not be cleared up even if he wanted to.

"Hanyu, you're ready to go."

Jiraiya's voice sounded from Hanyu's window for a moment, but then it drifted away again, and this thing was just making a noise by itself...... Today, he is even more lively than lively, and he is a little crazy.

"Okay, let's go for a walk."

Now Hanyu couldn't stay at home anymore, he didn't bring any ninja equipment, he just didn't forget to bring his two long knives, and then put on his shoes, pushed the door and walked out.

The moment you walk out onto the street, you will be greeted by a bustling crowd and a wave of celebration.

Hanyu shoved his hands into his pants pockets and walked down the crowd, not knowing what to do next, so he just let it go with the flow for a while.

It's not just lively, in fact, everyone is venting their emotions. Hanyu followed the crowd of marchers all the way, and before he knew it, his hands had been dragged out of his pockets, and his palms had been stuffed with all kinds of bunting by enthusiastic people.

He couldn't laugh or cry a little, these things are not lost, and they are not lost.

As he walked, Hanyu suddenly raised his head and saw that the red lanterns on the side of the street were lit up one by one, and the rows of lights spread in Konoha in an instant.

The lights came on first, and then night fell.

The Eve Festival began.

The sound of fireworks never stopped, and all kinds of colorful flowers hung in the sky, although they were fleeting, they stretched into patches, and they never stopped, so that they covered the real starry sky.

And no matter how loud the sound of fireworks and gongs and drums is, it can't cover the laughter and laughter of people.

But I don't know why, the more lively it was, the more Hanyu's thoughts gradually emptied, and for a while he seemed to be floating high in the air, looking down at the lights on the ground; For a while, it was like sinking into a dark abyss, and I couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

The more lively, the more silent.

Hanyu rarely gets so immersed in his emotions, but when he does, it's a little hard to manage......

When he came to Konoha at that time, what was the difference between him and the current one?

What's the difference between the front and back leaves?

"Hanyu ......"

"Hanyu."

As Hanyu continued to sink, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, first ethereal, then real, and at the same time he felt the placket behind him be pulled violently, so he had to stop and turn around.

Hanyu blinked a few times, and then he saw and reacted clearly who the person behind him was.

It's Tsunade.

Tonight, Tsunade wears a light-colored robe with cyan patterns printed on it, which makes her not lose the liveliness that she should have at this age, but also the solemnity of the occasion...... Wait a minute, she's going to be with the three generations of Hokage.

When Hanyu turned around, she was holding her knees with both hands, and her wide sleeves almost fell to the ground...... With the physical strength of a ninja, running around Konoha won't shed a single drop of sweat, but squeezing through the secret hemp crowd to Hanyu's side can be regarded as a very difficult test.

There was a lot of people, but the two people stopped there.

Tsunade was wearing a pair of brown falkskin boots instead of the usual ninja shoes, and when Hanyu looked down from her vantage point, he could see a small collarbone and a small patch of skin peeking out of the hem of her neck.

Her hair is no longer a girlish single ponytail, but has been carefully groomed, and her long golden hair is tied behind her head by a hairpin and a step, but it may be because she has just run too quickly or the crowd is too crowded, her hair is now somewhat messy, and a few strands of golden hair are hanging down from her forehead.

When she lifted her face, her eyelashes were a little long tonight, her eyes were shiny, and Hanyu even noticed that someone had put on a little light makeup for her.

"Hanyu, haven't you eaten yet?" After his breath evened out, Xiao Tsunade straightened up again and said.

"Huh?"

Hanyu is a little unsure.

"I just bought the pastry, I'll give it to you."

Before Hanyu could figure out anything, he saw her pinching a boxy white pastry, and her fingers were about to poke his face, and Hanyu quickly reached out to take it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"The rest is up to you."

Then, Tsunade stuffed a large paper bag into Hanyu's arms, and it was then that he noticed that the other party had been hiding such a large bag of things in his sleeve.

"Tsunade-sama......"

Then, a call to Tsunade can be heard in the distance, and it is clear that she has "left her post without permission".

"Just come." Tsunade stuck out his tongue, waved at Hanyu in response, and squeezed back in the direction he was running from.

Looking at Tsunade's departing back, Hanyu subconsciously chewed the pastry in his mouth...... Well, it's not very tasty, it's a little too sweet.

But just like that, because of a little chance, the world regained its original color.

Today is only Yuan Ri, not Yuan Xi, but Hanyu suddenly felt as if he had a little understanding of the Qingyu case.

No, no, no, and then he quickly shook his head, thinking a little redundantly, she was just a child.

"I've stopped doing loli control for a long time."

There is a serious problem with this statement...... A person will either never be a lolicon or will always be a lolicon.

There is no possibility of curing an incurable disease without medicine.

On the other side of the lamp, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, a pair of friends, were standing on the roof of a house, watching the situation on Hanyu's side.

Jiraiya chewed something in his mouth, and at the same time, he sighed, "Hanyu once said that a lover will eventually become a family, and a single dog will witness it with his own eyes. ”

"Hanyu also once said that the fragrance of singleness is roughly similar, and the sour smell of love is different."

"Hanyu ......"

"Have I said so much?"

Jiraiya was about to say something, but Hanyu's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and he was startled and spit out Orochimaru.

Hanyu was still there just now, but now he's here.

"You also said,, you're going to hand you over in a flash?"

The clock rang at midnight, and the New Year of Konoha was coming on a winter day without any chill.
