It was already three days later when the Konoha army started to set off.
Different from the last time Land of Rain, it had been more than ten years since First Great Ninja War. Many people, including the commander, had little experience, but this time everyone was familiar with the road and packed up everything that needed to be taken away in the shortest time.
Of course, the most troublesome thing is not the personal belongings, but the supplies and food for thousands of ninjas.
In addition, there are the corpses of Konoha Ninja who died on the battlefield.
Many of them are too bloody to distinguish who they are, but as long as their clothes bear the characteristics of Konoha, they must all be brought back to the village and buried under Hero Monument.
These people are the heroes of this war!
Konoha In addition to giving their relatives a good pension, this is all they can do.
At dusk, Uchiha Chen 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, Land of Rivers in the dusk actually gave Uchiha Chen a strange feeling of strangeness.
Without the sound of Kunai collision, without the impact of Explosive Tag explosion, 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.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
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 the footsteps.
"... Chen, I brought you dinner."
Himeji said a little 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 Nawaki, they are always Namikaze and Senju.
"Didn't you already have dinner?" Uchiha Chen turned to look at Himeji.
She was not wearing Jonin Flak Jacket today. She was wearing a tight purple ninja suit with black tube socks on her legs. She looked very beautiful.
"... You must not have eaten enough." Himeji forced himself to find a reason and handed the bowl to Uchiha Chen.
"..."
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 found it very 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 it can easily bring back bad memories, especially since so many ninjas died here, many of whom they knew.
So Uchiha Chen 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 Chen had no choice but to speak on her own.
"Well, the tribe brought them back a few months ago." Himeji stared at the stone at his feet.
"My father's eyes... are getting worse."
Uchiha Chen nodded. At that time, on the battlefield of Land of Rain, Hyuga Tenko 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 clan leaders of Byakugan and Hyuga Clan.
But who told his teacher to be Orochimaru?
Uncle Snake As Third Hokage's most beloved and relied upon disciple, even the slightest Wind Blow move in this poor village cannot be hidden from his eyes.
And Orochimaru knew it, so he naturally told Uchiha Chen. Through long-term scientific observation, he discovered that his disciple had an unusual relationship with the little princess Hyuga Clan.
In the words of Jiraiya, it is unclear, very suspicious, enviable, and unforgivable (gnashing teeth)!
Orochimaru naturally ignored the last two sentences.
Uchiha Chen 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."
"... Hmm."
"By the way, what are your plans after returning to the village?"
"...?" Himeji showed a black question mark face.
"I'm going to rest for a while, or find a team to go on a mission."
Himeji shook his head.
Uchiha Chen I feel a little headache. Do you think you are shaking your head because you don't know, or it's neither?
So you think only fat nerds are autistic? Wrong, three-no girls can do it too, and their condition is even more serious.
"You're the captain, you say."
In fact, Himeji is now Special Jonin, so he can naturally lead the team alone. However, considering her attributes, Uchiha Chen seriously doubted her communication ability, so she thought about it and asked, "How about you continue to be in my team?"
"Okay."
"Okay, I'll apply with Uncle Third Hokage when I get back."
Himeji nodded seriously, showing a rare smile.
After solving the problem, the meal was naturally inedible. Uchiha Chen was not hungry to begin with, so he was forced to eat a few mouthfuls, and now his stomach is 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 Chen saw Jiraiya squatting next to the bushes. It's just that his face was swollen and red, and he looked like he was constipated.
Jiraiya is certainly not doing something unethical here, although he is indeed very unqualified.
"Chen, you're here." Little Sun Minato saw his friend and shouted quickly.
Uchiha Chen also 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 indeed Minato who taught Jiraiya, not Jiraiya who taught Minato.
Speaking of which, Jiraiya feels 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 a teacher.
When Jiraiya thought of this, even rubbing the water balloon in his hands felt boring.
"You brat, why are you laughing!" He turned his face and glared at Uchiha Chen.
If it weren't for the fact that you invented this Ninjutsu, I would have beaten 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 Chen couldn't help laughing.
Jiraiya's eyes popped out when he saw Minato using Rasengan. This was the first time he saw this kind of unprinted Ninjutsu, so he was so greedy that he licked his face and wanted to imitate it.
Minato had no choice but to come over and ask Uchiha Chen.
Of course Uchiha Chen is fine. He has said before that Minato can decide who he wants to hand over to him, and there is no need to ask for his opinion.
After all, this Ninjutsu was originally invented by Minato.
But that's all. Who knew that Tsunade knew about it, so he laughed at Jiraiya again, and made a bet with him that if he mastered 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 Chen a good look.
Sage of Six Paths, bless 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.
"Crack!"
Jiraiya was so excited that he couldn't control Golden Right Hand, who had been exercising for more than ten years. The water ball burst and the liquid was all over his face.
He took a deep breath:
"Fuck you!"
