"Hanyu, then I'll go over there first, you can bring the child home......"

After arriving at the Uzumaki block, Tsunade said to Hanyu.

"yes, got it." Hanyu nodded.

Then, led by Xin Ren, she walked to the other side of the street. Hanyu took his daughter and Kushina Uzumaki, who was following him, and went in the direction of his house.

The Hanyu family's return to the village was unremarkable, as he had disappeared from the village for too long.

So far, the four generations of Hokage are just a symbol in everyone's impression...... Just like the original Hokage, they are distant legends.

So even if someone sees Hanyu, they won't recognize him unless they get up close.

Originally, Hanyu's house on the Konoha side was supposed to be accessible from the hot spring town on the other side, but a long, long time ago, Tsunade remodeled it, and the direction of the door of the house changed.

Now they are coming home with their daughter, so this transformation is very clear "prescient".

Changing the orientation of the doorway and hanging a row of stairs on this side at the same time is an illegal modification by any means, but since Hanyu was the Hokage at the time, there was nothing wrong with such a move.

When Hanyu came downstairs, it was not in decay, but rather as if it had been carefully maintained, even the wooden staircase up the stairs was spotless and solid...... This should be the mind of the whirlpool.

Counting the time, it had been eighteen years since Hanyu left the house, and he had left without hiring any cleaning staff.

After arriving here, Hanyu was finally willing to get up from his wheelchair.

The black cat jumped lightly, jumped up the stairs first, and then began to follow the stairs all the way up with a light step...... Even if it's a cat, there will be times when it touches the scene.

Hanyu stretched, reached out and removed the "cane" resting on the back of the wheelchair, then gently patted the back of his daughter's head, motioning for her to follow her upstairs.

Uzumaki Kushina stayed downstairs for the time being.

Halfway up the stairs, Hanyu suddenly stopped again. From the corner of the staircase where he was standing, he could just look up at Shadow Rock in the distance...... One, two, three, the three big heads are still hanging there for public display.

"Things are not people......

"Things are man-made", these four words are enough to describe Hanyu's feelings of returning to Konoha again.

"Father...... Did my father and mother grow up here? Hanyu hugged Hanyu's arm and asked.

Most of her feelings at this time were fresh and curious.

"How can you say that, there is a moral trap in your way of speaking, and it belongs to fishing law enforcement.

I can barely say that I grew up here, after all, the house on the top floor has been my home for a long time.

As for your mother...... You have to know that I am a very restrained person, in fact she was almost thirty when we got married. ”

Moderation is not temperance, but Hanyu habitually beautifies his image on his daughter's side.

"I understand, Father.

We're all 'Hanyu', but Tsunade sister isn't. ”

Well, Hanyu's education really blossoms.

"Well, that's true, but don't say it to her face."

Hanyu rolled his arm, pinched his daughter under her armpit, and then walked to the top floor in three steps and two steps, opened the door, and walked in.

Anyway, since the outside is well maintained, the inside of the house will naturally only be better. In this situation, even Hanyu found it hard to believe that he hadn't been home for so many years...... It looked like he had gotten up in the morning, left the house, clocked in to work, and then came home on time that evening.

So who would be so patient to take care of his dilapidated house for more than ten years? Probably there is a constant mood here...... Thinking of this, Hanyu felt a rare trace of guilt for his behavior of leaving Konoha.

Hanyu broke free of Hanyu's arm and ran back and forth around the house, quickly looking through the rooms.

"Father, how long are we going to stay here?"

Even though Konoha was a completely unfamiliar environment to Hanyuni, she didn't have any worries at all.

And if you just analyze it from the mind of a child, a lively and prosperous place like Konoha is more popular with her than Hanyu's single-family house by the sea in the country of bears.

"I guess we'll be here for a while, though we don't need to stay here too long if we only talk about the reason for my return to Konoha. But now that I'm back, I still have to consider human feelings and righteousness after all...... How can you come and go? ”

Having just returned here, Hanyu hadn't seen much damage to the village from civil strife, but that didn't mean it didn't exist. Now Konoha's strength is quite weak, and at this time, since Hanyu is here, there is no way to withdraw and retreat.

"So you don't have to rush, you can have a good time here later."

Hanyu had planned to leave his daughter at home, but his mood changed after returning home, so he decided to take his daughter with him next.

"Xiaoni, you're going to a place with me next......"

Although Hanyu's daughter is quirky, she is very sensible and can distinguish between right and wrong and the occasion, so after Hanyu gave her a few words, she immediately understood what attitude she should show.

Then, the father and daughter went downstairs.

"Hanyu-sama, this kid ......"

Uzumaki Kushina was puzzled, the place they were going to next shouldn't be present for a child of this age.

"It's nothing, take her with you...... It's also good to see it. ”

Hanyu had made up his mind, and it was inconvenient for Kushina to say anything more. The trio continued down the street, soon arriving at their destination, a small courtyard in the center of the Vortex neighborhood.

This is the residence of Uzumaki Ashiko and her adopted daughter, Uzumaki Yayoi.

After entering this courtyard, Hanyu saw Tsunade immediately, and he was about to say something, but she shook her head directly.

Tsunade walked up to Hanyu and whispered in his ear, "Exhausted, time is running out, the natural cycle of life...... It is not within the scope of medical technology. ”

It was a pre-determined conclusion, but everything Hanyu wanted to say was stuck in the way. After a long silence, he could only spit out these words softly with a long exhale, "Yes, I know." ”

Then, a young Uzumaki ninja guarding outside pointed him in the right direction, and Hanyu reached out and gently stroked his daughter's long hair, and then the two walked in that direction.

This......

Tsunade's first instinct was to stop Hanyu, but since Hanyu had brought the child here......

…………

Hanyu walked into a bedroom with his daughter.

No, it's better to describe this place as a "ward".

There was a smell of medicine in the air, and after entering the bedroom, Hanyu immediately saw Yayoi Uzumaki, who was in a very bad state......

and the Vortex Zikou lying on the hospital bed in her care.
