Treading through the winding path covered with leaves, Tsubaki stepped out of the woods and looked wearily at the Konoha gate standing tall in front of her.

It had been pouring rain for several days before, so that the dense woods outside Konoha Village were knocked off a lot of emerald green leaves by the rain, and the green leaves were piled on the ground, a thick layer, and people would make a faint rustling sound when they stepped on it.

Tsubaki's expression was complicated, and her gaze always had a hint of helplessness.

The Konoha gate is intact, and the cool smell of the night wafts around.

As she approached the familiar door, the cold wind wafting in her face with a disgusting smell of decay.

This wooden door, which was built by the hands of the original Hokage Senju Pillar sixty years ago, is now a little rotten.

"It turns out it's not immortal......," Tsubaki muttered to herself.

She approached the door.

Konoha is still the same Konoha , just the bastard who blew up half the village without saying a word, the bastard who kept saying that he wanted to marry himself in a sea of flowers, has already left.

Tsubaki's footsteps paused at the door.

"What people!"

A cold shout rang out from the Konoha city wall.

Then, more than a dozen red fires also lit up.

More than a dozen ninjas with torches quickly jumped down and surrounded Tsubaki.

"I'm Konoha Nakashinobi, Tsubaki, and I'm back to support the village on the orders of the three generations of Hokage-sama." Tsubaki calmly took out his ID and explained his identity: "This is my pass and task list." ”

In the crowd, an obese man came out, looking at the facial lines painted on this man's face, he should be a member of the Qiu Dao family.

The fat man took Tsubaki's papers, glanced at them, and his cold tone softened slightly, but still with some awkwardness, and said, "It turned out to be you, the demon's...... Never mind...... Welcome back to the village, which is in need of your help. ”

With that, he returned the things to Tsubaki.

Tsubaki caught a hint of disgust in the eyes of the Akido people.

She put away her papers.

The man turned around and waved his hand and said to the people inside, "Open the door!" ”

Tsubaki walked in.

Before she could go far, she heard the loud chatter behind her.

"Is that her?"

"That S-class rebel fiancée?"

"The wife of the white-haired demon!"

"She still has the courage to come back!"

"I really don't know what the three generations think, this kind of woman should be deported immediately!"

"It's just ......"

Tsubaki pursed her lips and walked slowly and firmly step by step, but her pale face, which lowered her head slightly, looked a little ...... Sadness.

The woman's slow figure seemed to fall in the next second.

In the Hokage's makeshift office.

Sarutobi smoked a cigarette and listened to the steady stream of reports from Umino Irukana.

The old man's lowered eyelids were tinged with a faint shade of blackness.

Ape Fei Ri Slash didn't sleep well.

There's a lot of work to be done every day, and Iruka's debriefing every day.

He's been living at this hectic pace for almost a month.

Even when I was fighting, I wasn't as tired as I am now.

At least, in World War II and World War III, he has the help of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, three proud disciples, as well as the support of top powerhouses such as Qimu Shuomao and Bo Feng Shuimen.

What about now......

Iruka stood beside Ape Fei Ri without being impatient, not noticing the old man's emotion at all, he looked at the documents in his hand, and said eloquently: "In terms of construction, our village has completely swept away the rubble pile, and at the same time built thirty residential buildings, and the planning department has also made a distribution table, and there are already 835 people moving in normally today, and the buildings will be built one after another...... In terms of electricity, engineers from all over the country have already designed the new power station, and tomorrow I will hand over the design drawings to the repair team, and I believe that soon, the power supply in my village will be restored to normal, so there is no need for the patrol team to work with torches......"

Speaking of which, Iruka glanced at Ape Flying Sun.

He persuaded him with some concern: "My lord, why don't you go and rest first......

"It's okay, you go on." Ape Fei Sun waved his hand forcefully.

Iruka thought for a moment and put down the thick papers in her hand.

He suddenly gossiped with Ape Fei Ri Slash: "My lord, you noticed a strange ...... just now Feel? ”

"Hehe......" Sarutobi glanced up at Iruka and explained, "It's not a feeling, it's an energy fluctuation, an energy fluctuation that is suffocatingly powerful. ”

"Is it that scary? Why didn't I feel it? ”

"So now you can only stand on the side and make a report, old man, I will sit in a chair and listen to your report."

"Uh......" Iruka touched her nose a little embarrassed.

Ape Fei Ri took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Iruka, have you ever thought about going further, for example, to be promoted to a shinobi or something. ”

"No, no, I still prefer to teach children at school......" Iruka quickly shook his head.

"You kid......" Ape Feiri sighed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the temporary office.

Iruka was stunned.

Who could it be at such a late hour?

"My lord, I'll go out and have a look."

As soon as he opened the door, Iruka saw a fat man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

This man is none other than the clansman of the Autumn Taoist family who is guarding the Konoha gate.

He actually rushed to the Hokage's temporary office one step ahead of Tsubaki, and reported the news of Tsubaki's return to the village to Sarutobi Hizashi.

"What's so strange about this, do you need to report it in a special way?" Iruka looked at the Akido people who had left after the report, and said to Sarutobi with some joy: "My lord, I went out to find Tsubaki, she just returned to the village, I'm afraid I don't know that the temporary office is here, and the village is now in short supply at a time when Tsubaki is back!" ”

"No need ......"

At this time, another voice came from outside the temporary office.

Tsubaki stood straight outside the door.

She didn't knock on the door, but said loudly directly outside the door: "Konoha Natsushinobu Tsubaki, go back to the village and obey the order!" ”

"Come in." Ape Fei Ri said.

"Yes!"

As soon as Tsubaki entered, he saw Iruka with a pestle on the side.

Iruka saw Tsubaki and took the initiative to say hello: "Long time no see, Tsubaki." ”

"Hmmm......"

Tsubaki stood in front of Sarutobi with a little unsmiling, and only casually responded to Iruka's greetings.

From the moment she stepped into Konoha, an irrepressible longing was born in her heart.

It's just that that longing is accompanied by a surging sadness.

"Due to the urgent order of the adults, the subordinates have not had time to complete the task of Tianju City."

"It's okay - you came with the kid from the Qiu Daoist just now, you can follow a Shangnin without being discovered, your strength is rising."

Tsubaki didn't speak.

The ape flew to the clouds and mist, and he was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That ......" Iruka felt a little embarrassed and proposed, "Three generations of Hokage-sama, it's not too early, why don't we rest first." ”

"There's no hurry."

As if thinking of something, Sarutobi slowly put down his pipe and said to Tsubaki, "Welcome home, Tsubaki." You've also seen the situation in the village, which recently reorganized the ninja team of the ninja school and needed an instructor. If you can, you can go and help with a class. ”

"Understood!" Tsubaki replied.

"Okay, you rushed all the way back, and you're tired, go home first and rest for a while, and then work officially tomorrow."

Tsubaki answered yes and went out to leave.

After Tsubaki left, Iruka asked Sarutobi, "My lord, you seem to be a little unhappy?" ”

Ape Feiri lowered his eyelids and said slowly: "Because, I have never given Tsubaki an order to return to the village urgently......"
