Chapter 2: Lives of Individuals

Yue Yong left the newly developed area of the village, turned around and went to the former site of the Senju House, which was located in a dense forest in the eastern part of the village, and the environment was quiet, like a world away.

Walking through a dense forest, stepping on the green stone steps, the gaps are covered with green moss, there are stone lampstands on both sides, and walking up the stairs, passing a red Mijin Gate, the scene in front of you suddenly opens up.

The elegant and neat streets, where houses are erected, and the bluestone-paved walkways are overgrown with weeds and flowers, as if they have not been cared for for a long time.

A huge shrine was erected in the square, with a long white rope tied to the huge tree, and a stone tablet was erected in front of the root of the tree, which was engraved with the past history of the place and place.

Today's stele has changed after decades of wind and rain. Its appearance, like the history and time it has experienced, is full of vicissitudes and stories.

Yue Yong walked to the stele and slowly squatted down, gently touching the inscription with her hand, as if she was touching that forgotten history in the air.

[To tell the truth,Recently, I've been using a change source to read books and chase more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,.huanyuan Android and Apple are available.】 】

The stele not only records the history of the Thousand Hands Clan, but also when they left and why they withered to this point.

The initial text of the inscription appears resolute and resolute, representing the determination and unwavering will of the writer.

"From today onwards, the Thousand Hands will penetrate deep into the earth for the roots of Konoha and take supplies, and I will never allow anyone to harm the hard-won treasures."

From the first sentence, not only can you feel the will of the other party, but there seems to be a vague Bingsen persistent evil spirit, and the person who wrote this sentence is by no means a kind person.

The process in the middle is mostly persistence and keeping promises, but it is only in these last few paragraphs.....

Yue Yong was about to continue reading, when a child's joy came from the square directly opposite the stele.

Yue Yong looked back and saw a small golden head, two small red heads, and adults walking behind them.

"Hee-hee-hee, I'll just say that Ichiraku ramen is delicious."

"Nagato has eaten too much, you don't have Hyuga blood, do you?"

"Hmm...... But it's really delicious."

Nagato patted his swollen belly, it was the most fragrant ramen he had ever tasted, so take Konan and Yahiko to try it in a few days.

Behind the adults are Lake Biwa, who is busy and busy, and Sayuri, who looks much more mentally healthy.

Lake Biwa stretched out a hand and was supported by Sayuri, and the two of them walked on the bluestone paved road, and Lake Biwa looked around with a wistful face.

"A few decades ago, the Thousand Hands people were everywhere here, and everyone gathered together to talk about the future of the village."

"At that time, the first lord was in the center of the square, holding Kozunade in one hand and pointing to the village on the other, always with a smile on his face full of hope, telling his hopes for the future."

"It's a pity that time has passed, and now it's a lot of emotion to revisit the old place."

Lake Biwa said this, and Sayuri next to him echoed with tears in her eyes, "The old place still exists, but it has long been a human being. The country of the vortex has also disappeared into the long river of history without a trace, and now I don't know what the situation is like in my hometown."

….

"Hey...... Huh?"

The two of them stopped at the same time, looking at the familiar and awe-inspiring figure in the distance. The other party silently looked at the two large and three small teams, and Yue Yong raised her eyebrows slightly.

The pair of piercing eyes swept over the whirlpool Sayuri and Lake Biwa, and his face was slightly gloomy.

After all, in her eyes, the Uzumaki family should be grateful to Kaguya and Konoha, and Lake Biwa should not be involved with the Uzumaki family, which has a special relationship, which makes people even more vigilant.

"Lord Shidaime, I didn't expect you to be here."

When Lake Biwa saw that Yueyong's gaze was not good, he immediately understood what the other party was dissatisfied with, and sighed in his heart, the high-level leaders led by the three generations were constantly suspicious of the Uchiha, forcing the other party to burn his ass

of looking around for a way to break the game.

Now Yue Yong is suspicious of the Ape Fei family, beware of the distance between herself and the Vortex clan is too close, and it can only be said that it is a cycle of cause and effect.

"I walked casually, and then remembered that Kaguya gave the land of the Thousand Hands Clan to the Uzumaki Clan, and it happened to be rare to have a leisure, so I stopped by to have a look."

Yue Yong glanced at the whirlpool Sayuri and the three little ones, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in her heart.

In her opinion, the immigration policy was proposed by Kaguya, and it was also Kaguya's direct order to send someone to pick it up, and it was also her, Kaguya, and Baihua to give the land of the Thousand Hands Clan to Uzumaki.

Now that the one who should really be grateful has been neglected, but he is so close to the Ape Fei clan, no wonder Yue Yong is a little unhappy.

This is one of the four generations of double shadows, known as the girl with burning eyes.

It's the first time Sayuri has seen the rumored twin shadows up close.

I have to say that compared to the image of the great shore she imagined, Yue Yong looks thinner, her face is delicate, and her body is straight, but the evil aura between her eyebrows is heavier, and her eyes are as sharp as a sword.

I didn't expect to become a Hokage at such a young age, she doesn't seem to be much younger than herself...

"Lord Shidaime, first meeting."

Sayuri walked over in a few steps and bowed to Yueyong.

"Huh?"

"This time, Nagato and I were able to be saved thanks to the care of the two Hokage-sama."

"I couldn't settle it properly before, and I happened to meet my relatives and was emotional, so I couldn't come to the door in time to thank you, please forgive me."

With that, Sayuri bowed deeply and apologized.

Sayuri also pulled Nagato and bowed her head to thank her, the mother and son were sincere, but it was not easy to say anything.

Yue Yong snorted secretly, but the hostility in her eyes had subsided a lot, but she was no longer so imposing.

"From now on, this will be the land of your Vortex clan, I hope you can understand our hard work and repay the village well in the future."

Yueyong looked at Nagato again, thinking to herself, is this the little ghost that Kaguya has been caring about?

Yueyong said, "Nagato? The eldest son in the family must take on the responsibility of the family, and in a few days the village will give you and Kusinai, and Watergate will arrange teachers, so be sure to study hard."

Nagato hurriedly said, "Four, four generations... I have two companions who are very nice and talented, can you get them on board?"

Yahiko, Konan?

Yue Yong thought about it, and it was convenient to monitor and manage these people together. If there is any abnormality, it can be dealt with as soon as possible.

….

"Yes."

Yue Yong nodded and agreed.

"But if you choose a good teacher, you also have to work hard to cultivate, strive to become a talent as soon as possible, and contribute to the village. Don't learn from the two people behind you, you know that you are tired of being together all the time, and you don't know what cultivation is."

Mizumon scratched his head embarrassedly, he felt as if Yue Yong was talking about himself and Kushina?

Kushina: "You're naked jealousy, if you want to, you can stay with Kaguya every day!"

The corners of Yue Yong's mouth twitched slightly, as if someone had poked her in the sore spot. If she could, she would certainly like to..... Hmph, that bastard ran out alone and hasn't come back yet!

Yue Yong ignored the stupid fox who made a face at herself, she was like this when she was in school anyway.

"The Uzumaki family will thrive here, and if the village finds any other people from your clan in the future, they will send them over."

"Thank you, Lord Shidai, thank you very much!"

Sayuri Uzumaki's face was full of gratitude, and there was nothing more satisfying than this assurance from Yueyong.

Yueyong: "Well, then I don't have anything else to do, so I'll go first, there are still a lot of things to deal with in the village."

Yue Yong strode out, and when she passed by Lake Biwa, she glanced at each other with a deep gaze, which obviously meant a warning.

"Oh yes, Biwako-sama has a lot of things going on at the immigration office right now, so if you have nothing to do, I'll be back sooner

It's better to go, so that you don't even find a person to make a decision if there is any emergency."

"Yes, four generations of lords."

Biwako received the order with a serious face, but in exchange for a cold snort full of emotions from the other party, and then disappeared at the end of the road.

As soon as Yue Yong left, the spreading tension and depression in the air suddenly disappeared, and everyone present was silently relieved except for Lake Biwa, which was accustomed to wind and rain.

"What an amazing momentum, just the murderous aura that leaked out inadvertently, as if there were countless sword blades aimed at one's vital point."

"Aunt Biwako, why does that lord seem to be so targeted and wary of you? Does this lord have any grievances against you?"

Not only is it dissatisfaction, Biwako thought helplessly in his heart. If the one in your family almost drove a certain family to a dead end, and even broke out to seize power at one point.

As a result, people are now in power, and they haven't tossed to the death to take revenge on you, which is already considered self-contained.

"It doesn't matter, it's all a debt owed by us in the past, and now it's karma."

"But you can rest assured, although this fourth generation has a strong personality and acts decisively, as long as you don't clash with her head-on, you can actually get along quite well."

"And her dissatisfaction with me is more about getting too close to you, the Uzumaki family is designated by the two shadows to be saved, both to win over and to set a mark, they will not embarrass you."

"As for the old ......"

Lake Biwa took a few children to the stone monument of the big tree and caressed the body of the big tree with nostalgia on his face.

"Wherever there are leaves, there will be fires......

"In the past, it was so lively, and there were people of the Thousand Hands around the streets and squares, and everyone looked after each other and worked together to solve all problems."

….

Sayuri Uzumaki can feel the complex emotions of Lake Biwa, which are between disapproval, regret, anger, and a hint of indifference.

Sayuri Uzumaki looked down, she saw the beginning of the stele, it was so determined and vibrant, even after decades, she could still feel it through the words, when the inscription was printed!

But since then, the inscription has taken a sharp turn for the worse, until finally it is like a dying old man, with lamentation, grief and indignation, and the last sentence of refusal is engraved.

"A thousand hands are not dead against foreign enemies, but they are self-defeating!"

Self-judgment is self-judgment.

The person who carved the last inscription was more grief and anger than fear, unwilling and unable to change it, so he chose to leave such a passage at this moment.

Sayuri caressed the inscription, as if she could feel the grief and unwillingness from the depths of her soul.

"Back then, the Thousand Hands Clan wanted to disband, but in fact, the second generation Hokage forcibly pushed it, and almost all the people inside and outside were against it. Everyone said that if the family was dissolved, the clan would become rootless, and everyone in the clan would be in danger, and the elders of the clan would try to make the second generation change their minds."

"Everyone says that if the family is gone, the roots will be gone, and if they lose the support and resources of the family, what is the difference between them and ordinary people?"

"But the second generation turned a blind eye to this, and thought that only by breaking the shackles of the family and allowing the entire family to integrate into Konoha could the ideal village be created, which he called a community of destiny."

"But now it seems like it's pure wishful thinking......... The dissolution of the Thousand Hands was too early and did not play a leading role, and the other families regarded this move as suicide, and strengthened the idea of never disbanding the family and following in the footsteps of the Thousand Hands."

Sayuri asked, "But I heard that the second generation of Lord Hokage is a very good Hokage, didn't he think of that?"

Lake Biwa: "I think he knew, maybe he had a reason to do it, even if he knew the consequences."

"At that time, Senju and Uchiha could be said to be the top of Konoha, and their status in the village was unmatched, and they couldn't see the possibility of surpassing the two clans. In the long run, the village will become a cage, and everyone will live in the shadow of Senju and Uchiha."

"Maybe the second generation was afraid that the village would become the private property of the Uchiha and Senju, so he decided to take the initiative to break the balance."

Lake Biwa lamented, "Disbanding the Thousand Hands and restraining the Uchiha may seem like a ruthless move, but in fact it is to loosen the bonds of the other people in the village and stimulate the vitality of the other families, so as to promote the prosperity of the village."

"But the price is so huge, the second generation of adults is still too anxious."

Lake Biwa touched Kushina's little head, and a look of compassion appeared on his face.

"Family is the cornerstone of everything."

"It's true that a family that is too strong for the village is an obstacle, but if the family is good enough, it can ensure that the village will be strong for decades."

"The whirlpool can't repeat the mistakes of the past in any way, and the tragedy caused by the second generation can't be played out here again."

Lake Biwa shook his head after speaking, and seemed to have a little more gray hair.

"Let's go, I'll show you the streets inside, where I grew up."

Lake Biwa smiled with one hand holding Kushina and the other holding Nagato, while she was followed by Mizuto and Sayuri.

….

They walked across the square, around the great sacred tree, towards the depths of the clan's land.

As he was leaving, Nagato looked back at the stele as if he had a feeling, and he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

………………

"Coming back?"

Baihua glanced at Yue Yong, who had just returned from the inspection, and saw that there was a faint difference in her face, so she put down the pen in her hand.

"Why have you been so preoccupied lately?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been getting tired from a lot of things lately."

Yue Yong didn't seem to have the heart to speak, she just felt tired, not as free as before.

Baihua stared at Yue Yong with suspicious eyes, and suddenly she smiled slightly, got up and left the chair and walked to the sofa in the office, and after sitting down, she patted the vacant seat next to Yue Yong, don't you come and sit? expressions.

"Are you making fun of me?"

Baihua blinked and said, "What's not to do? We don't have even the age of the world at the table, and our age of 16 is only the age of the world."

Yue Yong showed a helpless expression, so she had to follow Baihua's wishes, but unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, Baihua held her head and pressed her plump and white legs.

Yue Yong was still struggling at first, but at this time, Baihua gently pressed two fingers on her acupuncture points, and suddenly a faint electric current penetrated her body.

"Hmm!" Yue Yong couldn't help but snort, and her whole body went limp like mud.

With the gentle fingers dancing between his acupuncture points, it makes people a little shy and nervous, but the tiredness in my heart is indeed much more relaxed.

Snoring, Yueyong made a cute sound like a cat version, and Baihua smiled with satisfaction with "domestication success".

"It's only at times like this that you look so cute and obedient."

"Closed... Purring... Shut up... Phew..."

"Okay, I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, no matter what the outside world changes, no matter what the future holds."

"We all have each other, and we will never be alone."

"What about Kaguya?"

"Hehe, that's right."

「… Hmm..."

"Sleep, get some rest."
