The southwestern border of the Vortex Country.

Led by Toshihiko, two Konoha dark detachments kept jumping from the forest.

Because the team also carried a ghost lantern essence moon that had been sealed with chakra, the speed of the march was not very fast.

And just as the group was about to arrive at the southwest dock of the Vortex Country, Toshihiko's face showed a look of doubt.

"Let's take a break here."

Landing in a clearing, Toshihiko spoke.

"Rest? Toshihiko: We don't need to rest if we're so slow. Soon we will be at the pier. ”

After falling by Toshihiko's side, Jiraiya said softly.

To be honest, he really didn't feel any tiredness when he was traveling at this speed, and if he could, he would rather speed up a little faster, so that he could get back to the village as soon as possible.

"As far as you talk nonsense, although theoretically we have cleared out the large army of Wuyin Village, no one dares to guarantee that there will be enemies in the secret. I don't feel like there's anything wrong with taking a break. Faced with Jiraiya's words, Tsunade retorted.

In fact, psychologically, Tsunade also agrees with Jiraiya.

But the problem is that they are not the only ones who are operating now.

Next to it, there is also the sixth team of the dark department led by 'illusion'.

You must know that Toshihiko is not only their captain, but also the temporary commander of the two dark teams. According to the Ninja Handbook, there is no unconditional command from above.

As soon as Toshihiko said that he wanted to rest, he also expressed his opinion, if only their team was there, it would be fine, after all, everyone was used to it.

But now that there are other squads present, it is necessary to restrain a little.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and Tsunade is more concerned about Toshihiko's physical condition.

In the previous battle with Ghost Lantern Ryugo, the miracle scene that happened to Toshihiko is still fresh in Tsunade's memory.

Even a fatal injury from being pierced through the chest can be recovered in an instant, and Tsunade swears that even the most awesome medical ninjutsu can't do this.

So she suspected that Toshihiko had used some kind of forbidden technique.

Generally speaking, the power or effect of forbidden jutsu is far greater than that of ordinary ninjutsu, but it is called forbidden jutsu because it can have very serious side effects.

Side effects can be physical harm or lifespan damage.

And either way it is, it has to arouse Tsunade's vigilance.

Tsunade had also asked Toshihiko vaguely before, trying to ask something.

But every time, Toshihiko just laughed and didn't say anything.

And the more Toshihiko behaves lightly, the more worried Tsunade becomes.

So at the moment when Toshihiko proposed to rest, Tsunade even wondered if there was something wrong with his body.

“·····”

After Tsunade's words fell, Jiraiya was speechless, he just made a small suggestion, there was no need to be so excited.

"Don't be so nervous, the reason why I propose to take a break is just that I need to deal with a little bit of things."

Facing Jiraiya, who was speechless by Tsunade, Toshihiko said with a chuckle.

"Handle things?"

Listening to Toshihiko's words, everyone's eyes shifted to him.

What else needs to be taken care of in this situation.

"Come out, and when will you follow?"

Under the puzzled looks of everyone, Toshihiko turned around and whispered in the direction of the dense forest.

"Alert~!"

It can be said that in an instant, the 'illusion' took out the kunai and shouted loudly.

Regardless of who is hiding in the dense forest, relying on the other party's concealment technique is enough to arouse the vigilance of 'illusion'.

If it weren't for Toshihiko opening his mouth, 'Illusion' wouldn't even know that they were being followed.

"Xiu Xiu~!"

In an instant, the members of the sixth squad opened the battle line in an instant.

Including Tsunade and others, they also put on a fighting stance.

"Don't be so nervous, your own people."

Looking at the appearance of everyone waiting for battle, Toshihiko smiled and waved his hand.

Soon, under the gaze of everyone, a figure slowly walked out of the dense forest.

"Uzumaki Xia Wei~!"

When he saw Xia Wei, who was a little embarrassed with his head down, his eyes widened.

In fact, not to mention it, even Orochimaru and the others showed puzzled looks.

"Sister Xia Wei, what kind of play are you going to play?"

Coming to the front of Uzumaki Xia Wei, Toshihiko said a little helplessly.

"I'm going to Konoha!"

Looking at Junyan in front of him, he seemed to have plucked up great courage, and Xia Wei, who raised his head, said very firmly.

"Uh~!"

After hearing Xia Wei's words, Toshihiko was slightly stunned.

"Of course you can go to Konoha, but you have to get the consent of your uncle first, I will send you back now, and you can go whenever you want."

There is no doubt that this time the whirlpool Xia Wei must have secretly escaped again.

If Uzumaki Seto really agreed to her going to Konoha Village, she would definitely tell him in advance, but she didn't know the news until she left Toshihiko.

You must know that Uzumaki Seto has two daughters, and he is even more fond of Uzumaki Xia Wei.

If he knew that Xia Wei secretly ran out again, he would definitely be very worried.

"I don't, anyway, I've already left a letter for my father, if you don't take me there, I'll go by myself." Uzumaki Xia Wei said stubbornly.

After all, Natsui Uzumaki has to admit that since Toshihiko first arrived in the country of Vortex five years ago, she was just happy that she had one more companion.

But in the time that they got along for a year, Xia Wei felt that as long as she stayed with Toshihiko, she was very happy.

It's an indescribable wonder.

However, Xia Wei didn't think much about the whirlpool at that moment.

But since Toshihiko left the country of the vortex, Vortex Xia Wei suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and whenever she was alone, Toshihiko's voice and smile would appear in her mind.

There was even a moment when Uzumaki Xia Wei felt that he was not a demonic barrier.

It is said that time can dilute everything, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the whirlpool Xia Wei.

During the time she was imprisoned in Wuyin Village, in addition to her father and sister, she thought of more of Toshihiko's figure.

She even wondered if Toshihiko would remember that she once had a partner like her in the Vortex Country if she really died here.

But who would have thought that one day, Uzumaki Xia Wei actually saw Toshihiko in the enemy's base.

The figure like a god descending from heaven made Uzumaki Xia Wei think that he was dreaming.

But she knew very well that this was not a dream, and Toshihiko really came.

At that moment, Uzumaki Xia Wei was really excited, but she was more worried, she was worried that Toshihiko's life would be in danger if he was in danger.

But then Toshihiko's words almost broke her down.

That heartbreaking feeling is still fresh in Xia Wei's memory.

Fortunately, Toshihiko said those words to save her.

But it is precisely because of this that Xia Wei Uzumaki faces her heart, she likes Toshihiko, she really likes it.
