In the early spring of the new year, Xue Hui said goodbye to Vortex Village, and together with the Thousand Hands Peach Blossom Squad, he came to Konoha again after a year.

Before leaving, Xue Hui entrusted the work he was responsible for and some matters to the second elder Uzumaki Reed. For Konoha, although he hasn't been here for a year, the letters and verbal messages have not stopped, so Xue Hui has also been able to understand some of the things that happened in Konoha.

There were a few things that Xue Hui was more concerned about, and he deliberately inquired a little more.

The Uchiha Garrison, which was founded by the second generation of the Eye Gate not long after the Battle of the End Valley, this department has a small range of responsibilities at the beginning, and now it has a scope of duty that includes the entire Konoha Village, including the defense work on the periphery of Konoha Leaf, the guard of the gate and the inspection of the entry and exit personnel, which are okay for Konoha at this stage, and the positions that will become particularly important when the situation is tense have been assigned to the Uchiha clan by the Tsukima in the past year.

The effect of this is that due to the advantage of the Uchiha clan's writing wheels, and because of the damage caused by the Uchiha Madara to Konoha, they are all very duty, which makes Konoha's security environment better and better. But also due to the Uchiha clan's duty methods, the number of people who have a slight complaint in private for the Uchiha garrison is also accumulating, and even the entire Uchiha clan is also a little dissatisfied.

Then there's the expansion of Konoha, including the carving of Hokage Rock, and other work is gradually underway, and this time it seems that Xue Hui will also need to contribute to the expansion of the enchantment.

Finally, according to Taohua, the entire Fire Country now has no other ninja forces on the surface except for Konoha, and all the ninja families have all moved into Konoha Village last year, including some samurai-turned-ninja families, and the growing population is also the main reason why Konoha needs to expand.

Along the way, it was safe, but it also made Xue Hui feel a little bored, but the thousand-armed Taohua often had that beautiful face outside, and she was meticulous about exploration and rest, even if it was just a small thing like going back and forth to the country of vortex.

It allowed Xue Hui to learn a lot about the journey of ninjas.

"Like, it was made for me?" Xue Hui had guessed this more than once on the road.

The next day, several people returned to Konoha Village, looking at the village that had changed a lot compared to their memories, Xue Hui had to sigh at the great strength of the Fire Country and Konoha at the same time, and at the same time secretly worked hard to develop his own country into a strong and unique appearance.

As soon as he entered Konoha, he went to the Hokage's office to meet with Kajima as usual, and after the Senju Momoka told Uzumaki Ashina of his reply, Yukiki returned to the familiar Senju clan land with a few people, and it was just like when Yukiki left, that is, the familiar people were a year older.

"Xuehui, come and show my aunt, she has grown a lot taller, okay!" As soon as Mito met, he pulled Xue Hui up and down, and he looked like Momoka.

"I haven't seen you for a year, how is my aunt doing?" Xue Hui was not ambiguous, and hurriedly greeted politely.

"Of course my aunt's body is fine, but it's ......" Mito stopped talking.

"Is that guy inside dishonest?" Xue Hui said understandingly.

"Not really." Mito seemed to remember something, looked at Xue Hui with some puzzled eyes, and then shook his head and denied: "It's quite peaceful, as long as it's still under my seal, it won't have the capital to make trouble." ”

"That's good." Xue Hui was sincerely happy for Mito, and the situation on the day of the seal was still clearly imprinted in Xue Hui's mind, which was the most dangerous thing he had experienced so far.

"Since you're here, then my aunt is going to teach you!" Mito smiled gently.

"Listen to your orders!" Xue Hui bowed and replied loudly.

What followed was a series of sealing tests, and to Yukiki's surprise, Mito didn't seem to have used any techniques other than sealing.

In the end, Mito asked a few questions about the formation, and after seeing that Xuehui's knowledge was no longer inferior to his own, he agreed to help Konoha's sealing team re-set the reinforcement seal from tomorrow.

Strange to say, it stands to reason that Xue Hui is a ninja in the country of vortex, and he should not have been involved in the matter of the Konoha seal, everyone knows it, and there are indeed some patriarchs who have raised objections, but with the words of the door, they no longer have a voice and choose to acquiesce.

"Our sealing technique has been improved on the basis of what the Vortex provides, and Xue Hui is now one of the top people in the Vortex Clan's sealing knowledge skills, are you sure that this mere enchantment can be difficult to catch him?"

"Rather than that, let him join in to increase the reliability of blocking other enemies."

The words of the doorman, who were much higher than the others, made all the people who objected speechless, and they had to secretly praise the decision of the door again.

On the other hand, Xue Hui was also called to the room by the pillar and the door room that night to tell him about the Five Shadows Conference.

"This time, although it is said that the representative of the Vortex Country is invited, it cannot allow you to directly participate in the Five Shadows Talks, and I want to apologize to you and the Uzumaki clan first." The opening sentence of the column is an apology.

After hearing this, Xue Hui waved his hand again and again, and said, "I have expected this kind of thing a long time ago, compared to other invited small ninja villages, it is also treated like this, right?" ”

"That's right, Takishinobi, Rain Shinobi, Tang Shinobu and others have all sent representatives, among which Taki Shinobu is the most active, and I don't know where they heard the news from Kazekage's side." The door still has a cold face, so people can't see joy and anger.

This time the Five Shadows Talks, in fact, the five shadows have already passed the Qi in advance, this time it is more just to give the pillar a face, and by the way, I want to see the state of the pillar after the battle with Madara.

But the next words really scared Xue Hui a lot.

"By the way, during the meeting of the Five Shadows, the task of taking care of the tailed beast will be entrusted to you."

"Me? One person guarding the seven-tailed beast?! Xue Hui jumped on the spot, almost unable to speak clearly.

"Haha, of course it's impossible to leave you alone, we will also arrange for a lot of manpower to be present, your main task is to maintain the tailed beast seal, I have already put them all asleep." Zhuma had long wanted to see Xue Hui's reaction when he heard the news, and he laughed out loud as he wished, and began to explain to Xue Hui after laughing enough.

"I'm scared to death, I'm thinking it's unrealistic, I know, I can still do this task, so I'll leave it to me." Xue Hui patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then after you set off, you will be in command of all the Konoha ninjas who take care of the tailed beasts! But do a good job, Xue Hui! He patted Xue Hui on the shoulder and said calmly.

"Yes, I will...... Ha? Wait, what? Commander?! Xue Hui just wanted to agree directly, but quickly reacted and made a louder voice than just now.
