In short, due to Konoha's unexpectedly tough attitude, and both Iwakuin and Sagakure put forward a request to "exchange the green of Fog Hidden Village", the negotiations suddenly reached an impasse.

Since the scorpion was not in Konoha and Dida herself showed a strong reluctance to go back, Loess arranged the black soil in the Uchiha Mansion and guarded it nearby.

In this way, it makes me a little embarrassed, after all, it is the home of Zana and Kite, but because of me, so many unrelated people live in. However, after I apologized to Kite, she turned to me and said, "Your business...... Isn't that the Uchiha thing? ”

"In this world, there aren't many Uchiha left," she said. We are all family, and since we are family, it is only natural that we do not distinguish each other. What's more, you're the other me. ”

These words were so sincere that they made me speechless for a moment.

The kite said, "I don't know what you want to do...... But, if it's your wish, then Zana and I will support you. ”

When she turned her face and smiled at me, the pale, illusory beauty of an epiphany, was so rare and beautiful that I could not help but look at it for a moment.

Fortunately, the Uchiha Itachi's expression management is very good, so it seems that I just stared at the kite for a moment with a blank expression, and then naturally lowered my eyes and looked away: "...... Is it. ”

Not far from us, I heard Hei Tu whispering to Dida: "...... Hey, Sister Dida, what is the relationship between the two of them? ”

……

Dida was sitting in the cloister, bored pinching the clay spider. The mouth on the palm of her hand swallowed a lump of clay in and out and spit it out and swallowed it in.

She asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"If you want to say it, it feels like a couple-"

"Huh? Why? ”

"How so...... They look alike, don't they? The expressions are also very similar, and the temperament is also very similar - isn't this the so-called husband and wife? And they all look cold, only when they are facing each other, the tone and expression of their speech are not quite the same as those of other people...... It's as if each other is the most special one for them. ”

"Hmm-" Hearing what Hei Tu said was so special, Dida suddenly narrowed her eyes curiously and turned her head to look over.

However, she looked at the side faces of the two people sitting side by side not far away, and saw nothing except that they did look quite similar. "Is there ——??"

Hei Tu didn't care, he smiled and said, "Because Sister Dida hasn't opened up yet." ”

Di Da retracted her gaze inexplicably, "Enlightenment? What? ”

……

And in a blink of an eye, the holiday was almost over, the missions from Yanyin Village and Shayin Village were still stranded in Konoha, and the people from Wuyin Village had not arrived for a long time.

As the start date of school drew closer, I became more and more worried.

It's not that I'm worried about Mizukage - it's better for him not to come. What I'm worried about is that after the start of school, Naruko's graduates will officially become shinobi and carry out tasks with the leading team of shinobi, but Akane Hagi has never returned.

Akane Hachiki and Yamato must have written mission reports on a regular basis and sent them back to the three generations of Hokage, but what was written in them, the three generations of Hokage were obviously not convenient to pass them directly to me for viewing.

The scorpion doesn't seem to be used to writing letters, so there has been no news coming, seeing that there is only one week left before the start of school.

I looked at the moon outside the window and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to go and have a look.

[Four generations of Hokage: Bo Feng Shuimen], debut!

I activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and in an instant, I was already behind the three of them.

This is also the first time that I have activated the Flying Thunder God Technique so far away, and I can't help but feel a little trance. And the reaction of the three people in front of me was faster than mine, and Qi Mu Akane subconsciously turned around and kicked with one kick, and Yamato's hands quickly sealed, and in an instant, a cloud of tentacle-like trees and vines burst out from under my feet.

As soon as the scorpion flicked its fingers, the back of a puppet's head popped open, squirting out a squirt of poisonous needles.

……

I'm sorry, but it's normal to suddenly appear behind a ninja on a mission and cause a vigilant reaction.

My fault, my fault.

I immediately dismissed the summons, and I figured that the attack had already passed, and I was able to reappear directly.

"Teacher!" Qi Mu Qian finally reacted to who I was, thinking of the series of attacks just now, she couldn't help but be annoyed: "-Don't suddenly appear behind others!" Wouldn't it be terrible if you fought as an enemy? ”

"I'm sorry," I smiled embarrassedly, "I just wanted to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to find you, but I forgot that I shouldn't have suddenly appeared behind you." ”

Yamato also looked a little apprehensive, although his expression didn't show any change, but he was in a cold sweat: "Is there anything wrong with the four generations of Hokage?" ”

"Well, because you've been gone for a long time and haven't come back...... So sure enough, I'm still a little worried. Especially you, Akane. ”

"Yes?" Hearing me call her name with the appearance of Bo Feng Shuimen, Qi Mu Qian's expression subconsciously froze, as if I was preparing to fight by name.

I said, "-Have you forgotten that it's time for you to retire from the shadows and become a leader of the team?" ”

Qimu Qian was stunned for a moment: "Huh? ”

"Your shinobi team is Naruko, Uchiha Sana, and Sakura Haruno, right?"

Qi Mu Qian seemed to think about it: "...... Yes. ”

She paused again and said, "It's just that this task can't be left at the moment...... If I don't make it back, Hokage-sama will make other arrangements......"

Another arrangement?!

How could there be another arrangement?! I just don't want this to be arranged!

The two leaders of the seventh class are shinobi - Kakashi's isotope and Yamato are all here! Isn't it the seventh class led by Kakashi Hagi, is it still called the seventh class? Such a seventh class has no soul!

"Nope." I immediately objected, "Except for you, I don't want anyone else to become the leader of the seventh class. ”

Qimu Qian was stunned: "Ah." But ......"

I interrupted her and said, "Don't say it." How's your mission going? ”

"We've found Tsunade-sama." Akane Hagi said helplessly: "And handed over the letter of the three generations of Hokage-sama to her." She should already be on her way back to the village by now. It's just that...... We have not been able to find the whereabouts of Jiraiya-sama. Or rather......"

She sighed, "Or rather, our whereabouts have been discovered by Jiraiya-sama, and he is now trying to shake us off." We followed him all the way for a long time, and at one point we lost track of him and could barely keep up with him. ”

I opened my mouth, and subconsciously prepared to follow her and say "Jiraiya-sama", but suddenly reacted, paused, and said with a wry smile: "...... It's a teacher......"

I looked at Qimu Qian and said, "This task...... I'll finish it for you. You should hurry back to Konoha now. ”

I haven't encountered this kind of temporary alternate mission before, not only Qimu Akane, but even Yamato on the side widened his eyes slightly in surprise: "Huh?!" ”

"Akane, leading the team to shinobi is a very important profession. You will definitely become a good teacher. I can't let Naruko miss out on a teacher like you. ”

"Naruko......" Akane Hachiki pursed her lips, probably thinking of her "father-daughter" relationship with Bo Feng Shuimen, the white-haired Shangnin took a deep breath, "I understand." I...... You will definitely live up to your expectations. ”

She bowed respectfully to me: "Then, for the next step in this task, please ask the teacher, and I will rush back to Konoha immediately." ”
