Chapter 41: The Temptation to Return to the Village
The letter sent back to the village by Uchiha Tokumitsu had a much greater impact than he had imagined.
On the third day after the letter was sent back to Konoha, a notice of the ninja rotation of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force was sent to the ninja army garrison camp.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's daimyo is at the top of the list.
Also arriving at the same time were the replies from his father, Uchiha Nakagen and Elder Szena, both mentioning one thing: the 'Super Uchiha Flame Escape Chakra Mode' explored by Uchiha Tokumitsu must be kept strictly secret and not leaked to anyone!
At the same time, there are also nine Uchiha Shinobi who will follow the second group of Uchiha Shinobi to the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, who will serve as the direct escort of Uchiha Tokumitsu on the return journey, defending Uchiha Tokumitsu's safe return to Konoha.
"This ...... Isn't that an exaggeration......"
Nine shinobi serve as guards, and they are also the elite of the Uchiha clan's Sangotama Sharingan...... It's just too high-profile.
"Elder Instant and Captain Zhongxuan have made a special explanation, please rest assured." The captain of the upper ninja, Uchiha Nagawa Kei said in a non-questionable voice.
The implication is that it's nothing, the bigwigs of the family have already arranged it, so you can do it.
"I originally had two guard squads...... Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that this was more or less a distrust of his strength and the guard squad under his command.
"Deguang Shaojun, the matter you reported is very important, and it is impossible to be too cautious." Uchiha Nagakei's words also revealed that he had some understanding of the contents of Uchiha Tokumitsu's letter.
"Have you tried?" Uchiha Tokumitsu asked seemingly cluelessly.
The Uchiha Nagajing didn't speak, but stretched out his left hand and silently adjusted the chakra in his body, condensing a purple flame in his palm.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect that the so-called 'Super Uchiha Yan Escape Chakra Mode' that he had messed up with himself would actually be able to reproduce it.
"However, there is indeed a big gap between my chakra control power and Deguang Shaojun, and I can't cover the whole body with Yan Dun Chakra to form an arrogance."
"How many people in the family have learned?" Uchiha Tokumitsu asked with interest.
"At present, there are 17 people in the family who have reached the threshold of Yan Dun's learning, and there are three people who have learned the basic chakra fusion......" Uchiha Nagawa Keibi replied respectfully.
"It's only three people ......" Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little regretful, and he also hoped that more people in his family would learn this rough Yan Dun mode so that they could participate in the optimization and application of ninjutsu.
But after thinking about it, this is also reasonable, after all, it has only been three days since the letter was sent back to the family, and in the case of secrecy and no promotion of the whole clan, there can be three ninjas who have already explored such a rough so-called 'Yan Dun', it can only be said that the strength and heritage of the Uchiha clan are indeed the best in the ninja world.
It's just that with such a deep foundation of strength, why did he fall to the point of being wiped out by Uchiha Itachi alone? Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't figure it out.
"There's no way, there are really not many people in the family who are like you Deguang Shaojun, who have incomparably strong spiritual power and chakra control power......"
"Having said that, it's still a little less......" Uchiha Tokumitsu's resistance to sycophants, especially the clansmen's sycophants, is far inferior to his ninjutsu resistance, "Okay, let's arrange the rest of the personnel according to the list, and hurry up and go back to the village." ”
……
The return journey was also very smooth.
There were no imaginary enemy ninja interceptions or fake Hokage's root personnel in the whole process.
In addition to the six members of Uchiha Tokumitsu's two guard squads and the other eight upper ninjas who came with Uchiha Nagakei, there were also nearly 100 ninjas of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force who were on rotation at the same time, forming a mighty ninja army, and returned to Konoha all the way without any waves and unimpeded.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's parents, Uchiha Nakagen, Uchiha Emiko, and Elder Akina were already waiting at the entrance of Konoha Village.
"Kotokumitsu~" Seeing the small figure of Uchiha Tokumitsu from a distance, Emiko shouted excitedly.
Although he felt a little embarrassed, Uchiha Tokumitsu still obediently used the teleportation technique to rush to his mother's side, and was picked up by Emiko without resistance and kissed his cheek and hair.
After all, no matter how talented and intelligent he showed in this life, in the final analysis, he was just a child who was nearly nine years old.
Uchiha Tokumitsu has been away from home for nearly four months to go to the Northwest Front, during this time, Emiko, as a mother, has always been worried and tormented in her heart, and now seeing her baby son come back with all beards and tails, it is naturally full of longing and can no longer be suppressed.
Allowing Emiko to vent her thoughts to her heart's content, Uchiha Tokumitsu still greeted her father Uchiha Nakagen and Elder Saka very politely in a slightly embarrassed manner.
"Okay~ Emiko, let's go back first, Xiao Deguang is tired all the way." Uchiha Nakagen also had a smile on his face, not only missing, but also very satisfied with Uchiha Tokumitsu's performance on the front line.
"Alright, alright!" Emiko still hugged her baby son tightly and didn't let go, but she also obediently returned to the village with everyone.
After nearly four months of going out and living in the wilderness of the backward country of grass for so long, when he returned to the lively Konoha at first glance, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that the originally ordinary Konoha commercial street had suddenly become extremely prosperous. Even the smiles on the faces of the pedestrians on the streets are more relaxed than those living in the towns of the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire.
A stable and peaceful life.
Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly understood the choice of the ninja clan that Uchiha Homon was talking about.
The ninjas who returned to the rotation scattered after returning to the village, and made a big purchase in the shopping street, and the Uchiha ninjas who had just returned wandered around the street in groups did not cause panic and hostility among the villagers and merchants, although the merchants were more restrained and humble when bargaining with the Uchiha, but it was more due to the strong battlefield bloody murderous aura on the Uchiha's body, not because of disgust.
This is also a difference from the original impression of Uchiha Tokumitsu.
In the past, he didn't pay attention to those background board characters, so he thought that the reputation of the Uchiha clan was very bad in Konoha, but he didn't expect it to be okay to look at it today.
It seems that the old thief Kishimoto does know how to hammer the Hokage.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes continued to sweep over everything that was happening along the street, thoughtfully.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Uchiha Tokumitsu sensed a special gaze looming over him, but he didn't find anything unusual when he scanned the surroundings.
"It's the monkey in the Hokage Building."
Just as Uchiha Tokumitsu was about to use perceptual ninjutsu to find out what the situation was, Elder Instant said loudly.
This reminded Uchiha Tokumitsu of the so-called voyeuristic magic - the Crystal Ball Telescope Technique.
"Monkeys like to snoop around in their cages and don't care about them." Uchiha Nakagen's expression remained unchanged and he said as he walked.
"That's what the monkey has to do, but it's okay, after returning to the clan land, there will be an enchantment cover, and he can't spy on it." Uchiha Emiko's face remained unchanged, still gently stroking Uchiha Tokumi's long and smooth hair.
The attitude of the clan towards the Hokage can also be seen from this.
Even the other Uchiha people gathered around them didn't pay attention to the words of the three of them, and they still walked normally without squinting.
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't believe that they, as deaf ninjas, didn't hear what he had just said.
The Uchiha's radical party's malice and antipathy towards the Hokage are also almost undisguised.
……
Back in the clan land, the strange feeling of being spied on disappeared without a trace.
"You guys go home first, and Xiao Deguang can rest well." Elder Instant smiled and said to the Uchiha Tokumitsu family, "But I still have to trouble you to come at night." ”
"Okay, thank you, Elder Shaki~"
Back at home, Emiko, like most mothers, brought out a lot of food from the kitchen after putting down her baby son, for fear that the child who had been away from home for a long time would be hungry and lose weight.
The warmth of home also made Uchiha Tokumitsu feel more relaxed.
And it was the family affection of this life that made him feel that this world really existed. Everything in front of you is also happening alive and present.
The affection of the family, the concern of the family, and the unbridled killing on the battlefield. It is the medium through which he assures the reality of this world.
Uchiha Nakagen, who had been completely ignored by Emiko, was silently drinking a cup of barley tea on the side, and after Uchiha Tokumitsu finally stuffed all the food into his stomach, he began to speak slowly, "You replied to the 'Yan Dun'...... How did you come up with this? ”
“…… I just thought that chakra fusion could produce new blood relay power, so I tried it, but I didn't expect it to be successful. Uchiha Tokumitsu replied lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
"It's a really good way to do it." Uchiha Zhongxuan pursed his lips, "The Yin Escape and Fire Escape have been inherited in the family for thousands of years, but no one has explored the chakra fusion of these two attributes, and you are the only successful example......"
"Why?" Uchiha Tokumitsu also found it strange, he didn't think that his thinking or ability could completely surpass the family that had produced so many talents for thousands of years.
"Everybody...... Never thought about it...... And your chakra control power is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. Uchiha Zhongxuan said with a little melancholy, "The family's ninjutsu secrets are as vast as a cloud, and even if you are extremely poor, you can't learn it in your lifetime, so naturally it is difficult to make breakthroughs and innovations." ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu was silent.
Perhaps, this is the so-called 'cognitive impairment'.
"Okay, Xiao Deguang, you can rest for a while, and you have to go to the elders at night~" Emiko, who came out of the kitchen, motioned to Uchiha Tokumitsu to hurry back to the house to rest.
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded obediently, and when he just walked up the stairs, he suddenly turned around and asked his father Uchiha Nakagen, "That...... Did my father learn the chakra fusion of 'Yan Escape'? ”
"I didn't ...... But Emiko has learned. Uchiha Nakagen's face turned red, and he said hesitantly.
From the kitchen, Emiko's laughter like a silver bell rang out.
Uchiha Tokumitsu touched his nose slightly embarrassed and hurriedly ran back to the room upstairs.
After being away from home for a long time, he naturally felt relaxed when he returned to the nest, and the nerves that had been tense were also relaxed all of a sudden, and when he went to bed, Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly fell asleep......
