"Didn't you say you could get there today? Why haven't you come yet? ”

Inside the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hizashi kept pacing, looking at the crystal ball on his desk from time to time, and then at the street outside that was even starting to be lit up, with both anticipation and hesitation on his face.

The day before yesterday, the village received a reply from Tatsuma's side, briefly explaining why it had been lost for so long, and the reason was because all the communication equipment was damaged in the battle.

And more than a month ago, the last message they sent back was also sent after activating the intelligence station left in the thunder country, but just after it was sent, the intelligence station where they were was was attacked again.

It was also after returning to the territory of the Fire Nation that he used the communication equipment left in the camp to carry out this message to the village.

At the same time, he also said the estimated time of arrival in the village, according to the estimate, it will arrive at noon today.

If it weren't for the organization work, Sarutobi would have wanted to leave the village directly and go halfway to greet him, but as the Hokage, he had too many things to do.

Especially ten days ago, he also left the village and went to the front line to fight, and with him, there were Lu Yuan, Ying Zhong and other important personnel, so that the work of the village has been delayed, and now there are still a lot of documents to deal with.

And the reason why the ape flying sun slash feels hesitant is because . In the message sent back by Tatsuma, the details of the remaining teams were not stated, and the specific casualty list was not returned.

Ape Fei Ri Slash is not worried about what injuries Tatsuma will suffer, after all, a large piece of flesh and bones in his heart has been stripped away, this kid can heal in breath, and as long as Tatsuma does not die, there will be no injuries.

Can. There are others, such as his son of Ape Fei Sun, who is also in Tatsuma's ranks.

Tatsuma's message was very limited, but he only explained the most important news, after all, no one knew if the camp, which had been "abandoned" for several months, was at risk of being infiltrated by other ninjas.

If it is indeed infiltrated, then the more messages are sent back, the more likely it is that the out-mura ninja will decipher Konoha's ciphertext.

Ape Fei Sun Slash can't always ask Tatsuma to just pass back the situation of a few ninjas, so it's too much. It's specialized, and it's not good to spread out.

Therefore, no matter how much he cares about his son, Ape Fei Ri can only choose to wait, and waiting is always painful, all day yesterday and all morning today, the old smoker is about to quit smoking.

If you smoke it any more, he'll be smoky.

After leaving the window open for a long time, the smell of smoke in the office has only faded a little, and Ape Feiri looked into the distance of his eyes, but there was still no movement, and he returned to his desk and stared at the crystal ball for a while.

Finally, he closed his eyes, put the crystal ball directly into the drawer on the side, frowned, and forced his worries and thoughts to start reviewing the documents, intending to divert his attention in this way.

But after a while, the noise below the Hokage building made Sarutobi get up again and walk to the window.

"Hokage-sama!!"

"They're back!!"

This time, it seems that someone saw the ape flying sun slash by the window, and some villagers waved their hands vigorously at the ape flying sun slash, and the ape flying sun slash unconsciously showed a look of ecstasy, and then reined.

But for a second, the corners of his mouth lifted again, because he also saw the team in the distance being welcomed by the melancho.

Although it was too far away to see clearly, Ape Fei Ri Chop still knew that behind the crowd, there was a teenager who was happily waving at him, and it was definitely his monkey cub!

It wasn't until the crowd approached that Ape Fei Ri saw clearly that the stinky boy in his own family was really smiling and waving hard at him.

The big stone in his heart finally landed, and the ape Feiri looked at it, thinner, taller, and the stupidity in his eyes was no longer so clear. There has been a lot of growth.

His eyes only stayed on his son for a few seconds, and Ape Fei Ri Slash looked away, lingering on the rope tree, pig deer butterfly, Qiandou and others for a longer time.

Seeing that these people did not have any obvious injuries, Ape Fei Ri finally exhaled, and he could finally explain to the other high-level officials in the village, that is, Lu Jiu's kid was a lot uglier.

In the end, Sarufei Ri's eyes fell on Tatsuma, like the others, the clothes on his body were very new, they should have been changed from the wartime camp, otherwise it would be impossible for the clothes to be unworn after months of fighting.

It's also normal for the camp to have some armor and equipment, which are large and not a high priority, and it's normal that they haven't been brought into the Land of Thunder.

There is nothing abnormal on the body, except for a little weight loss and hair. The nest swelled a little more, and it didn't look any different from when it set out on the expedition.

If there is any difference, it is temperament, or these ninjas who have returned from battle, the temperament has changed dramatically, and the calmness of the victors and the firmness of the dead fighters converge on them at the same time.

"Hokage-sama."

At this time, a voice came from outside the office, Ape Fei Ri retracted his eyes, looked back at the door, and Yamanaka Ying Zhong said, "The conference room is ready, and the meeting can be held at any time." ”

"Well, let Tatsuma and them go over, don't start in a hurry, get some food and drink, and rest first."

Ape Fei Ri nodded, the meeting must be held, after all, for more than three months, Konoha knew very little about the whereabouts and actions of Tatsuma's army, and they still needed to report.

Ape Fei Ri Slash himself was also very curious, how they broke through many obstacles under the encirclement and interception of the entire Thunder Country, arrived at the Cloud Thunder Gorge, and captured the two-tailed beast.

It must be a very magnificent and thrilling journey, right?

Yamanaka nodded and went to inform the other attendees, but Sarutobi settled down, walked to the back of the desk and sat down, and continued to correct the documents.

He didn't need to go to the conference room so early, let the young people rest for a while, if he went now, even if he didn't start the meeting immediately, the participants would unconsciously enter the work state, and they would have no intention of resting.

In the conference room, Tatsuma only brought Lu Jiu and Hai Yi to attend, and Tianfeng, Qiandou, Rope Tree, Dingza, and Ye Naiyu also had a lot of credit, but the people who participated in the meeting did not necessarily have the highest credit.

Rather, it needs to be the most helpful for the advancement of the meeting, as the commander of the Tatsuma must be present, and Lu Jiu and Haiyi, one to coordinate the scheduling work, the other to convey the record work, three people are enough to explain the affairs of the entire army clearly, so there is no need for others to participate.

When they came to the conference room, Akido Furu, the contemporary pig deer butterfly, Mito Menyan, Zhuan Koharu, Hagi Sakumo and others were already waiting, and Tatsuma greeted them one by one, and simply greeted them.

Lu Jiu and Hai Yi both sat down next to their respective fathers, Lu Yuan rubbed his son's hair, and then flicked the mustache at Lu Jiu's chin, his eyes fell on the two hideous scars on his face, and asked:

"For your mother?"

Lu Jiu nodded, and Lu Yuan continued to ask, "How are you going to make it up?" ”

Lu Jiuya rubbed his mustache and said, "Well, this is the scar left by the two tails when I was shocked and distracted, and I learned from the pain and decided to stay as a wake-up call, always alerting myself." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, very convincing, your mother should accept your statement, but it may not be very effective." ”

"Huh?"

Lu Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at his father suspiciously, Lu Yuan gloated at his son and said, "Your reputation is too high these days, and many parents of school-age girls have come to visit the house.

There is even a bold girl who said that even if you break your hands and feet, she is willing to marry such a person. Big hero, take care of you for the rest of your life, how's that, moved? ”

Disfigurement should be more devastating than breaking hands and feet, and those women feel more diaphragm, right? It should still be somewhat useful. ”

"Anyway, you can't hide, let's get in touch when you have time, it's also from our Nara clan, called Nara Yoshino, your mother likes it very much."

"Shhhh It's a hassle. ”

The conversation between the father and son made Hai Yi beside him smile gloatingly, and Yamanaka Ying Zhong sneered and said, "You too." ”

Haiyi: "??? I have to see it too? Father, I'm not the kind of person who steals the object of a friend! ”

"Who said it was the same girl? Your mother said she would arrange it for you, yes. If you don't see it, the flowers you stored with your mother won't come back. ”

"How can this be?!"

"Hahaha~"

The conference room immediately burst into laughter, but Lu Jiu and Hai Yi had their faces down, not at all like triumphant warriors, but like captured defeated soldiers.

Zhuan Xiaochun looked at Tatsuma, who was laughing the most rampantly, and said, "Tatsuma, you should also be concerned, how early did you see the opening of the water gate?" Why don't you find a few girls in the medical department? Or do you want to ask Lake Biwa to find you a few at Konoha Hospital? ”

"Haha hiccup~coughcough~"

Tatsuma's laughter stopped abruptly, and then quickly refused: "No need, Lord Koharu, don't worry about me." ”

"I really don't understand why you young people are so resistant, even if you don't want to get married, you should contact the opposite sex, don't waste such a good youth.

Don't you have to wait until the old body and others are so old to regret it? ”

Turning to Koharu to continue to bewitch, Tatsuma shook his head and said, "I have known how to protect myself since I was a child, and I know that the best way to avoid being rejected is not to make a request.

And how can there be so many lucky people who can really meet someone they like? It's just romantic emotions at work, shaping someone in your heart into the image of the person you like. ”

"It's young, but it's a bunch of big truths."

Zhuan Xiaochun smiled: "What's more, how do you know that you can't meet it?" ”

"Haha~ Lord Koharu, you don't understand, do you? The person who can understand love best is the single person, because the wise don't fall in love. ”

Chen Ma brought the topic over with a haha, and Lu Yuan deliberately said: "Then it seems that I, the head of the think tank, am too unprofessional, fortunately. My son is not married yet, Lu Jiu, you will take over my class from tomorrow! ”

Shikaku: Why am I injured again?!

Suddenly, Lujiu felt that marriage didn't seem so difficult to accept, as long as he got married, he could tell Tatsuma that he was a fool who fell in love, and he was not suitable to be Konoha's military advisor!

But women are also so troublesome.

In the midst of laughter, Ape Fei Ri Chop finally came to the conference room, looking at the festive and peaceful atmosphere, he also joked: "The old man heard you discussing from afar, what are you talking about?" Let the old man participate in it? ”

As soon as he spoke, the conference room was quiet for a moment, just like the head teacher who suddenly came on the way to the self-study class, and directly pressed the mute button, and finally it was Tatsuma, before the atmosphere became awkward, he spoke:

"Recruit relatives for Shikaku and Haiichi, Hokage-sama, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend to them?"

Seeing that Tatsuma had resolved the embarrassment, Lu Yuan also spoke: "It's not too late to talk about these private matters later, it just so happens that Hokage-sama is here, this meeting. It's time to get started, too. ”
