It was already three days later when the Konoha army started to set off.
Different from the last time in the Land of Rain, it had been more than ten years since the first ninja war. Many people, including the commander, had little experience, but this time everyone was familiar with the road and used the shortest way to do it. It took time to pack everything that needed to be taken away.
Of course, the most troublesome thing is not the personal belongings, but the supplies and food for thousands of ninjas.
Apart from that, there are the bodies of those Konoha ninjas who died on the battlefield.
Many of them were so bloody that it was difficult to tell who they were, but as long as their clothes bore the characteristics of Konoha, they must all be brought back to the village and buried under the Heroic Spirit Monument.
These people are the heroes of this war!
In addition to giving their relatives a good pension, there is only so much that Konoha can do.
At dusk, Uchiha Tatsumi was sitting alone in the grain truck. He couldn't concentrate on reading the ninjutsu scroll he carried with him, so he propped up his cheek and looked out the window.
Outside the window was the fields that were desolate due to the war, and he began to imagine the land in front of him being covered with crops.
The scenery is still fascinating, he thought. In fact, the sight of the Kawa Country at dusk actually gave Uchiha Tatsu a strange feeling of strangeness.
Without the sound of kunai colliding, without the impact of the explosion of detonating talismans, and without the scene of ninja fighting, this barren country can be so peaceful.
"Peace is so good." He said to himself, looking at the slowly sinking dusk.
"Da da da!"
There was a sound of footsteps behind me.
Uchiha Chen didn't look back, he could tell who it was just by listening to the frequency of footsteps.
"...Chen, I brought you dinner."
Himeji said stiffly. Although she had changed her tune a long time ago, she was still not used to the intimate method of calling her by her first name, which made her a little embarrassed. Therefore, when she calls Minato and Naoki, they are always Namikaze-kun and Senju-kun.
"Didn't you already have dinner?" Uchiha Tatsu turned to look at Himeji.
She did not wear a ninja vest today. She was wearing a tight purple ninja uniform with black tube socks on her legs. She looked very beautiful.
"...You must not be full." Himeji forced himself to find an excuse and handed the bowl to Uchiha Tatsu.
"..."
In desperation, he could only reach out and take the bowl and chopsticks, then lie down by the window of the grain truck and start eating.
Himeji blinked and sat on the carriage.
"... Chen, what were you looking at just now?"
"I was looking at this land, and suddenly I realized it was strange."
"Well, without the war, it does seem a bit unaccustomed."
"Yes, the war is over, and it's time to restore peace here."
War is always a sad topic and can easily bring back bad memories, especially since so many ninjas died here, many of whom they knew.
So Uchiha Tatsu changed the subject and asked: "Have your two brothers returned to the village?"
He naturally knew what Himeji was here for today. After all, delivering food was not her style. But the girl couldn't speak for a long time, so Uchiha Tatsu had no choice but to speak on his own.
"Well, the clan brought them back a few months ago." Himeji stared at the stone at his feet.
"My father's eyes... are getting worse."
Uchiha Tatsumi nodded. At that time, on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, Hinata Sky used an extremely powerful ninjutsu. He also saw it, but he didn't expect the cost to be so serious.
This matter is actually still a secret, and only a few people know it. After all, it involves the Byakugan and the head of the Hyuga clan.
But who told his teacher to be Orochimaru
As the Third Hokage's most beloved and relied-upon disciple, Uncle Snake couldn't hide any troubles in this rundown village from his eyes.
And Orochimaru knew it, so he naturally told Uchiha Tatsu. Through long-term scientific observation, he discovered that his disciple had an unusual relationship with the little princess of the Hyuga family.
In Jiraiya's words, it is unclear, very suspicious, enviable, and unforgivable (gnashing teeth)!
Orochimaru naturally ignored the last two sentences.
Uchiha Tatsu patted Himeji on the shoulder. She even told him such a thing, which showed that she trusted him very much.
"It doesn't matter. Let Teacher Tsunade take a look when we get back. She should be able to do something about it."
"... Um."
"By the way, what are your plans after returning to the village?"
"...?" Himeji showed a black question mark face.
"I'm preparing to rest for a while, or find a team to carry out the mission."
Himeji shook his head.
Uchiha Tatsumi feels like he has a headache. Do you think you are shaking your head because you don't know, or not at all
So you think only fat nerds are autistic? Wrong, Sanwu girls can do it too, and their condition is even more serious.
"You're the captain, you say."
In fact, Himeji is now a special jounin, so he can naturally lead the team alone. However, considering her attributes, Uchiha Tatsu seriously doubted her communication ability, so he thought about it and asked: "How about you continue to be in my team?"
"good."
"Okay, I'll apply with the third generation uncle when I get back."
Himeji nodded seriously and showed a rare smile.
After solving the problem, the meal was naturally inedible. Uchiha Tatsu was not hungry to begin with, so he was forced to eat a few mouthfuls, and now his stomach was a little bloated. So he stood up and handed the bowl to Himeji, ready to go out to eat.
Because night fell, the troops could not march, so they could only be stationed on this open plain.
The situation was obviously different from the previous few days. Returning to the village where they had been away for a long time, the whole army was now filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After passing a corner, Uchiha Tatsu saw Jiraiya squatting next to a bush. It's just that his face was swollen and red, and he looked like he was constipated.
Of course, Jiraiya is not doing something unethical here, although he is indeed very unqualified.
"Tatsu, you're here." Little Taiyo Minato saw his friend and shouted quickly.
Uchiha Tatsuya waved his hand, walked over with a smile, and watched the scene in front of him with interest.
-Minato teaches Jiraiya ninjutsu.
Yes, you heard it right, it was Minato who taught Jiraiya, not Jiraiya who taught Minato.
Speaking of which, Jiraiya felt a little sad.
After being away for several years, he didn't teach his apprentice any ninjutsu. Now that he came back, he still wanted to learn ninjutsu from his apprentice. He suddenly felt that the people around him looked at him with contempt.
Especially Tsunade!
In Tsunade's words, Minato would be fine with or without him as his teacher.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya even rubbing the water ball in his hands felt boring.
"You brat, why are you laughing?" He glared at Uchiha Tatsumi with a straight face.
If you hadn't invented this ninjutsu, I would have beat the shit out of you.
"Uncle, didn't you say you could learn it in one day? It's been three days, why haven't you even completed the first step?"
Uchiha Tatsu couldn't help laughing.
Jiraiya's eyes popped out when he saw Minato using the Rasengan before. This was the first time he saw this kind of Muji Ninjutsu, so he was so greedy that he licked his face to learn it.
Minato had no choice but to come over and ask Uchiha Tatsumi.
Of course, Uchiha Tatsuya is also fine. He has said before that he can decide who Minato wants to hand over, and there is no need to ask for his opinion.
After all, this ninjutsu was originally invented by Minato.
But that was all. Unexpectedly, Tsunade knew about it, so she laughed at Jiraiya again, and made a bet with him that if he mastered the Rasengan within a week, he would agree to Jiraiya's condition.
However, three days have passed now, and Jiraiya still has made no progress at all, so it is strange that he can give Uchiha Tatsu a good look.
Immortal of Six Paths, please protect me. As long as I can succeed, I will never peek into the women's bathhouse or go to the custom museum again.
Jiraiya couldn't help but pray.
After all, this is a good opportunity to pursue Tsunade. Even for lifelong happiness, you must learn this ninjutsu.
"Snapped!"
When Jiraiya got excited, he couldn't control his golden right hand, which had been trained for more than ten years. The water ball burst and the liquid was all over his face.
He took a deep breath:
"Fuck you!"
