Needless to say, the way home was due to the large number of wounded and medical ninjas in the team, so they were very cautious in the choice of route, and the speed of travel was not fast. Fortunately, the ninja world was in an eerie tranquility, and there was not a single enemy from beginning to end.

When the Konoha Gate appeared in front of him again, Duke was relieved and felt a sense of joy at home. Since I left the village, I haven't been back for about half a year, and when I see the long-lost Konoha Village, I feel a little touched.

Half a year has not brought any changes to Konoha, the streets are still clean and tidy, and the village names are also living a dull life, rising and setting at sunset. The war did not affect them, except for families with ninjas at home, for many people, as long as the war did not burn into Konoha Village, it didn't matter whether they won or lost. The meaning behind the war, they can't think about it, and they won't think about it......

After completing the registration procedures for entering the village, Hisashi announced that the team would be disbanded on the spot and would gather in front of the Hokage Building tomorrow afternoon. After saying that, Hinata left in a hurry, and the direction he left was the residence of the Hyuga clan.

Back in the village, Duke's nerves, which had been tense, were completely relaxed, and now he didn't want to think about anything but sleep until the end of the night.

"Asma, Red, see you tomorrow afternoon. I haven't had a good rest in such a long time, I want to go back and sleep first. ”

"Hmmm! Well! Then we won't send you, don't talk nonsense, hurry up, remember not to sleep tomorrow. Asma patted Duke on the shoulder with relief, watched him leave, and gave him a thumbs up. Thinking of the opportunity to be alone with Red, I was secretly happy.

Hong was also tired, and turned to Asma to say goodbye: "Asma, I'll go first, and I'll see you tomorrow afternoon at the appointed time." ”

"Wait a minute, Red. I have something to say to you! Asma propped himself on the telephone pole with one hand, tilted his head to the side, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, posed handsomely, took out a rose that he had picked out of nowhere, and put it to sniff lightly.

"Red, this rose for you! Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's perfect for you. The rose petals, like your eyes, have a clear and unsullied bright red, revealing a subtle beauty, gorgeous and elegant! Asma's tone was vicissitudes, as melancholy as a poet.

"That's... Asma... Why are you ...... like that" Hong's voice was a little cramped and uneasy, and a little shy.

Hey! Duke is right, girls can't resist sweet talk! Under the declaration of love that I pondered and meditated, Red must have been excited! What should I do if she throws herself into her arms? Do you want to get from her? No, girls like men with gentlemanly demeanor, so I have to be reserved at this time and not scare her. Duke said, be elegant, don't dirty!

Hearing the rapid breathing of a cow behind him, Asma was overjoyed, and snorted with a hiss, looking infatuated. Thinking that the great work was not yet done, he quickly changed to a serious and cold face, closed his eyes, and continued to pour out in a magnetic voice: "I know that all this came too suddenly, but it doesn't matter, I won't force you to accept it now." Red, believe me, I can wait for you until the earth is desolate. You know, my heart has already been given to you......"

Syllable!

A hand slapped heavily on Asma's shoulder, and Asma, who was still living a crooked and happy life, was staggered by a slap and almost dislocated his shoulder. Feeling that the strength was not red, he quickly turned around, and as a result, he was confronted with a pitch-black horse face. If you look closely, this horse face is quite familiar.

"Mt. Sunset...... Uncle! When did you come? Don't say a word, haha! Asma was dumbfounded, and quickly stood up straight, raising her head and chest.

Sunset is really red and stretches a horse's face, looking at Asma with murderous anger, no matter how you look at it, you feel that the other party is like a pig who wants to arch her own water and spirit cabbage. In his heart, he scolded the good son of the ape Feiri to cut the teaching, and even his 10-year-old daughter did not let go.

Damn, at the opening ceremony, Lao Tzu saw that your kid was not a good bird, and he really stretched out his claws to my family. Red is only 10 years old this year, and she is still a child! Stinky face, look at your waves, it's even more sassy than when I chased my family! Fortunately, I met it today, otherwise I wouldn't be going to be a grandfather next year?

And what about the Hokage's son? Can the Hokage's son flirt with a girl from a good family? If you dare to seduce my daughter, I will abolish your bird today, so that you will not die in the future.

"Uncle Sunset, why don't you speak?" Asma swallowed wildly, cold sweat soaking her back. Just because the other party looked at him, it was like looking at a little piglet waiting to be slaughtered.

"Red, you go home first, your mother has prepared a big meal for you at home, don't make her wait for a long time! As for me...... I have something to talk to this kid about. After speaking, Sunset Zhenhong picked up Asma's back collar, and dragged him into the dark alley without agreeing with him.

Red stood at the entrance of the alley, heard the beatings and screams coming from inside, his face was covered with black lines, and after silently giving Asma a blessing, he turned around and walked home.

It's been a long time since I've been late for my mother's cooking, and I don't know if there is any mustard octopus! Red took small broken steps, happy to think.

……

When he returned home, Duke found no one at home, and Hades didn't know where to go. Thinking that it was the time for Azuki to get out of school, Aunt Natsuki might have gone to pick her up, so she hurriedly washed her face, fell down on the bed, and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the crescent moon hung high outside the window, and the village was quiet. Hades came back at some point, and was sleeping on him, blowing his nose with happiness.

Pushing Hades away, who looked like a dead pig, Duke touched his gurgling stomach and headed towards the kitchen, intending to get some leftovers to cushion his stomach. I never thought that at the door of the living room, I saw the lights in the house. The dining table is full of sumptuous dinners, more than 10 plates of large and small, and the carefully prepared dishes are full of color and aroma, with a slight heat, which makes people have a great appetite.

Zixiao and Xia Shu sat on both sides of the table, one reading the newspaper, the other drinking tea, and a faint warmth lingered in the room.

"Uncle Zixiao, Aunt Natsuki, haven't you slept yet?" The corners of Duke's eyes were a little moist, which was probably the original reason for him to set foot on the battlefield. If killing can protect this warm harbor, even if it is full of sins, it is willing!

"Are you awake?" Zixiao put down the newspaper and said with rare concern: "I wanted to call you to eat, but you slept too hard." Hurry up and eat, the food has been heated by Natsuki three times, and if you don't eat it, it will be cold again. ”

Xia Shu got up and touched Duke's head, turned around and filled a bowl full of rice, kept putting vegetables into his bowl, and whispered softly: "Eat more, the days on the front line are very hard, and you have lost weight!" ”

"Why didn't I see it, hasn't this kid always been like this?"

Zixiao said a word, Xia Shu glared at him, and added a chicken leg to Duke's bowl: "Now is the time to grow your body, you have to eat more." It's a pity that the rice was made too early, and it doesn't taste good now. If you are wronged, you will just take a moment, and I will make a big meal tomorrow to compensate you. ”

"No, it's the most delicious meal I've ever had......" Duke devoured, stuffing his mouth full. With the amount of food he eats, he can usually eat a bowl, but tonight he has a surprisingly good appetite, and he swept most of the table before he was still full of burps.

Seeing Duke's appetite, Natsuki was very happy and hummed a song to clean up the table. In the living room, Duke sat on the sofa, drinking tea after dinner, stretching comfortably, and chatting with Zixiao.

"How's it going, are you still comfortable on the battlefield?"

"It's alright! Mr. Jiraiya took good care of me, and the logistics tasks arranged for our team were all risk-free tasks, and I hadn't been on the frontal battlefield yet! ”

"Listen to what you mean, I'm disappointed that I didn't go to the front? Speaking of Jiraiya-sama, he praised you fiercely in his report to Hokage-sama. Your medical ninjutsu has saved many people and made great contributions, and even with me, your face is bright. ”

"Haha, that's all the credit of Aunt Natsuki, my medical ninjutsu was taught by her, and I couldn't do it without her guidance." Duke said modestly.

"Natsuki's medical ninjutsu is indeed powerful, but even if it is herself, it is impossible to unravel the poison of Sand Shinobi Chiyo." Zixiao sat upright and said to Duke: "You have to remember that being humble is a good thing, but you can't be overdone, you should be confident. I see your talent and the sweat you put into it. Those who have faith can turn smallness into greatness, and mediocrity into magic! Be confident and you'll do better. ”

"I see." Duke was stunned, Big Sister Slug and Zilai had also told him to be more confident.

"You can understand best! Chiyo, who defeated the sand ninja, this is not something that anyone can do, you already have enough capital to be proud of. "Zixiao imparts her own experience, humility is a virtue, but in the world of ninjas, pride is not a bad thing.

A great ninja has to have a proud heart.

"Uncle Zixiao also knows?"

"It was Hokage-sama who told me, and to be honest, I was shocked. Chiyo is not easy to deal with, and if you can defeat her, the process must be very difficult. Before you know it, you're already so powerful! By the way, do you have any plans for your team tomorrow? Zixiao first praised two sentences, and then cared about the subordinates he hadn't seen for half a year.

"Gather at the door of the Hokage Building tomorrow afternoon to hand over the mission report, and then ...... I guess it's a matter of arrangement! After all, there is still a war now, and eighty percent will be transferred to other battlefields. Duke thought for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow morning, I want to go to the training ground to practice water escape, there is a small river there, few people go there, and it is very suitable for cultivation." There are many powerful enemies on the battlefield, and there is no chakra attribute change, so it is a loss to deal with them. It's best if you can familiarize yourself with the stat changes before a new mission. ”

"Don't be too tired of yourself, if there is something you don't understand, just ask more, don't always think about it yourself."

"Understood."
