The next day, early in the morning.

When Sarutobi Nana pushed open the door, she saw that Asuka had already packed her package and was standing in the yard waiting for her.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Looking at the bird with a blue nose and swollen face, she looked at the mountain-like rain country specialty next to her, and frowned.

"Got into a conflict with the ninjas of the Land of Rain?"

"Nothing, knock."

Asuka rubbed the bruises on his face, took a breath of cold air, and made up an excuse.

It's really a changeable woman, obviously you're going to buy it.

I blocked it

Even stopped you twice, but it didn't stop you from buying her a gift.

It's really simple.

Thinking of Hakura, who was a little too simple, Asuka planned to draw some "knowledge" for her alone when she went back.

After standing in the yard for a while.

Nana Hua saw that he didn't mean to say much, so she simply moved her joints and said.

"Orochimaru's affairs have been taken over by Jiraiya-sama, and he is now chasing Orochimaru to leave the Land of Rain, and yesterday we also received an order from the village, so we can go back now."

"Good!"

Half an hour later, somewhere on a hillside.

Ye Cang was dressed in an auspicious cloud robe, wearing a hat and standing on the hillside, looking at the four of them flying birds in the distance.

"Is he leaving?"

Listening to Xiao Nan's cold voice in his ears, Ye Cang thought of the gift he gave out yesterday, his face turned red, and he nodded and did not speak.

Crash! Crash!

As the rain became heavier and heavier, the figure of the bird also disappeared into the thick rain and fog.

At the moment when the bird completely disappeared, Ye Cang asked with some hesitation.

"Xiao Nan, yesterday's gift hasn't been opened yet, has it?"

Open it?

Thinking of what he found when he opened the gift box yesterday, Xiao Nan took a deep breath and secretly glanced at Ye Cang.

Seeing that the other party's eyes were full of hope, Xiao Nan couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.

If she found out that the gift she gave was like that, Ye Cang would definitely be very embarrassed, and then go to the stall owner to theorize.

In that case

Ye Cang didn't know how long he was going to feel guilty.

Thinking of this, she looked sideways at Ye Cang, a smile appeared on her face, and she said gratefully.

"Ye Cang, thank you for the gift you gave me, it fits well and looks good."

？？？

Seeing Ye Cang looking at herself blankly, Xiao Nan tugged at her arm and diverted the topic.

"We're going to rescue Orochimaru."

"No, you really think that gift is good and fits well?"

"That's good."

"Really?"

"Do you look at me like I'm lying to you?"

Konoha.

Uchiha clan land.

The rising sun shone on the old man, dispelling the chill in their bodies.

Facing the sun, the Great Elder walked slowly through the streets of the clan with his hands behind his back, looking at the bustling scene in the clan market, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Ah~"

"The earth is waking up, a glimmer of morning light breaks the silence of the night, the fervent heart beats, praying for peace, we seek together, the future is full of thorns and precipice."

Listening to the Great Elder's strange singing voice, Madara Uchiha turned his head to look at Ryoichi and said in a cold voice.

"What is that little ghost shouting about?"

Ryoichi smashed his mouth and explained with some embarrassment.

"When the bird sang, the old thing thought it was pretty good, and he hummed a few words when he had something to do."

"Boring!"

Madara glanced at the Great Elder, and because his gaze was too sharp, he instantly attracted the attention of the other party.

Alas!

It's not time to go out today.

The Great Elder saw Madara Uchiha looking at him like a fool, and after hesitating for a moment in his heart, he walked over with a shudder.

A minute later.

When he walked up to Madara Uchiha and secretly observed the other party, his eyes fell on Ryoichi, and he pretended to be calm.

"The old man is just lamenting that peace is not easy to come by."

"Heh~"

Madara sneered and twisted his head to the other side.

Now there are few people in the clan who can be eye-catching.

Talent is not good, strength is not good, politics is not good.

"cough~cough~"

The Great Elder's body stiffened, then he pinched his trembling thighs, and secretly glanced at Madara, his teeth fighting up and down, and he said silently.

"How's it going?"

Liang nodded and laughed silently.

"I'm in good health, and I can live for two or three months."

？？？

Hearing this, the Great Elder's eyes widened, he covered his chest with his hands, and he could clearly feel that his ardent heart suddenly stopped beating for a moment.

Three months ago you said you could live two or three months, and three months later you can live two or three months?

He Madara Uchiha just can't die?

"Alas!"

Looking at the Great Elder's frightened expression, Ryoichi shook his head regretfully.

The old man never lies.

The cousin was just dead and brought back to life.

Crash!

Crash!

At this moment, there was a cracking sound of plates, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere here.

Following the prestige, Liang Yi looked at the big house on his right and was surprised.

"This is the patriarch's house, right?"

The Great Elder nodded and sighed.

"Alas, the patriarch's family has not been at peace recently."

Ryoichi stroked the beard on his chin and gossiped.

"How?"

"Ahem~"

The Great Elder cleared his throat and put his hands behind his back, then raised his voice slightly so that his voice would not disturb Madara Uchiha and would allow him to hear clearly.

"Isn't this Orochimaru's defection?

Because of Orochimaru's defection, Fugaku was implicated a lot.

You know, the village's attitude towards us is pretty average.

Before Orochimaru defected, he often invited Fuyue to dinner, which made him somewhat suspicious. ”

Liang nodded, he listened to the quarrel coming from inside, and wondered.

"What does this have to do with their quarrels?"

The Great Elder glanced at the residence on his right and guessed.

"Maybe it's postpartum depression.

Some time ago, Fugaku had dinner with Orochimaru, and he often got drunk.

At this time, Fugaku had to explain the matter of Orochimaru to the higher-ups of the village, and he had to explain many times a day at Danzo, which made him exhausted, and he hardly had time to care about Maikoto and the child.

Originally, Mai Trin was also very empathetic.

Maybe it's just that this time was too unlucky, and I just gave birth to a child, and I accumulated a lot of anger in my heart and broke out all of a sudden. ”

"That's pretty bad luck."

Thinking of what Mikoto encountered recently, Ryoichi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's all to blame on Orochimaru, if it weren't for the fact that he came over in the middle of the night to assassinate him, where did this kind of thing come from.

It's good now

Bang!

Before Ryoichi could continue to think about it, he saw the door of Fuyue's house open from the inside.

Looking at Fugaku who came out, except for Madara Uchiha, both of them greeted each other.

"Patriarch!"

Well!

Fugaku snorted with a cold face, and after his gaze swept over the old and undignified Madara Uchiha, he turned around and looked at the house, and walked directly towards the outside of the clan land.

A tiring day begins with a quarrel at home in the morning.

Looking at the back of the patriarch who was leaving with a snort, the Great Elder and Ryoichi stood together and sighed with emotion.

"San Lang (Great Elder), I don't think we can't stand behind Asuka."

"Ryoichi, you say."

Before the words fell, the corner of his eyes suddenly swept to Mikoto Uchiha in the courtyard, and the Great Elder immediately changed his words and shook his head.

"What are you talking about."

"Old thing, you want to fight??"

"Come on."

Seeing that the Great Elder suddenly became stiff, Liang suddenly turned his head to look at Fu Yue's home.

The open gate allows people on the street to have a clear view of the courtyard.

I saw Uchiha Mikoto standing in the courtyard, holding a broom in one hand and a garbage can in the other, looking at this place with a blank expression.

Well.

Ryoichi glared at the Great Elder, turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
