The eldest daughter of the Oda family disappeared, which became the biggest news at the end of the thirty-third year of Konoha.

Overnight, hundreds of Samurai and wave ninjas were dispatched, rushing in all directions, just to catch this woman who was so crazy that she was running away from her marriage.

But no one could have imagined that Odaichi had escaped towards Konoha under the cover of Mikoto and Himeji three days ago, and the one who stayed in the room was Puppet transformed from Uchiha Chen Shadow Clone.

Oda Nobuhide naturally asked Daimyo to send Twelve Guardian Ninja to help catch this daring daughter.

However, there is no ninja with super tracking ability in the Naihe Bridge team, and they can only return in vain.

Uchiha Chen, one of the parties involved, just sent a letter to Third Hokage and Sakumo and stopped paying attention to this matter.

Everyone is gone anyway, Sakumo no matter how unwilling it is, we still have to protect their safety.

When someone leaves, someone will naturally come.

In the evening, Uchiha Chen, who had completed his mission, came to the hall after being notified. He was also shocked when he saw Fugaku sitting on the chair.

At this time, Fugaku had been chatting with Daimyo for a while.

Seeing the young man walking in, Daimyo stood up with a smile on his face and said, "I won't disturb you anymore. You can chat slowly. I will prepare a banquet for you tonight, so be sure to show your appreciation."

After Daimyo left, the young man asked in surprise, "Brother Fugaku, why are you here?"

Young Clan Head said with a smile on his face, "I was just passing by and came here to see you. Seeing that you are okay, I felt relieved."

The two of them were talking as they walked outside.

Because it was already November, it was already stormy and snowy outside, and the goose feathers were falling heavily. When they walked to a pavilion by the lake, the two of them sat opposite each other.

Fugaku looked at the thinly frozen lake and said softly, "Tenshukaku The scenery is still so beautiful."

"Have you been here before?"

"Yes, wasn't he stationed here for those two years? It was boring to stay in the castle tower every day when there were no Suna ninjas.

So what? It's not as interesting as the village, right? "

The young man burst into laughter, "It's really not as interesting as the village."

"Then why did you become Guardian Ninja?"

"I don't want to either, Daimyo asked for it." The young man said carelessly.

Fugaku sighed, "I was waiting for you to join Police Force. We happen to be on the same team and you will be the captain."

Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That's okay, you are Young Clan Head."

Hearing the boy's refusal, Fugaku didn't take it to heart, but asked about an unrelated matter, "When I entered Daimyo's Capital, I saw that the guard was very strict. What's going on?"

"The eldest lady of the Oda family has disappeared..." Chen said half of the sentence, and then asked in surprise, "Have you met her?"

Fugaku nodded, "Yes, I met her on the road. We have dealt with each other before, so I probably remember her appearance. Is she going to Konoha?"

Uchiha Chen sighed.

Now that he has been seen, he has nothing to hide, and everyone will know about it in the future anyway.

Young Clan Head frowned and said, "This matter is big or small. If it is not handled well, it may affect the relationship between Konoha and Daimyo."

Chen stretched out his hand, accumulated a palm full of snowflakes, held out a small round snowball, and said casually, "It's okay, Hatake Clan is not too big, but he is also a famous ninja clan, and with the strength of senior Sakumo, Oda Clan is eager to get married.

At most, Azai Clan is offended, which is not that serious. "

In fact, this is not what Fugaku is thinking about, but the future Fourth Hokage battle.

Compared with Orochimaru, Sakumo lacks a good teacher to pave the way in front of him, but his contribution to neutrality in the war is greater than Orochimaru. Now if Daimyo's Capital's forces are recruiting, he may not be able to overpower Orochimaru.

When he thought of this, he felt a little annoyed and took out a Sealing Scroll from the Ninja Pouch. After opening it, he found several bottles of sake.

Chen's eyelids twitched and said, "I thought you were going to give me Ninjutsu, why is this?"

Fugaku chuckled, "You were very drunk the night you left. The whole village knows that Konoha Lightning likes drinking the most, so I brought you some."

"Whoever is mentioning what happened that day is the one I am worried about!"

That night was really Uchiha Chen's dark history forever. Not only was he drunk, but he actually acted drunkenly on the street and almost attracted Police Force.

"It's okay, just take a sip and treat it as farewell." Fugaku opened the bottle and handed it over.

After the young man took it, he asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you what you want to do."

Fugaku took a full sip and said with a smile, "I have nothing to tell you. I accepted a mission and am going to Land of Rainbows."

The young man took a cold breath and said, "So far?"

"Yeah, it's been a year since I came back. It's possible that the next time I come back, you'll have already returned to Konoha."

"Then why are you alone?"

Fugaku smiled and said, "If I can't even do this kind of task well, how can I be the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan in the future?"

After saying that, he took another sip, shook the bottle, and said with a smile, "I've already bottomed out, why don't you drink."

The young man smiled and said, "What's the bottom? There's obviously still half a bottle left. If you can't drink enough, just say so."

Fugaku laughed and said, "It's not that I can't drink enough, I'm just a little reluctant to part with it. I've been going back and forth for more than a year. I brought a lot of Konoha's specialties, so I have to use them sparingly."

"I didn't see that you were so reluctant to leave the village."

"Back then, when I was at Second Great Ninja War, I was stationed at Daimyo's Capital, but I could go back occasionally, but this time I had to spend my whole life at sea."

Fugaku said with emotion, "You may not believe it when I tell you. When I came out, I was a little scared. After all, I have never done a difficult task alone.

In the past, I always had ninjas from my family protecting me. The biggest loss I suffered was when I went to kill the sand ninja Negotiation Delegation, and then I became blind.

Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and persevered. I have never forgotten it since then, so I always thought about going out alone to perform tasks without being taken care of by others. "

The young man was silent for a moment, then gently threw the snowball into the distance and asked, "Then what do you think is more important, the village or the family?"

Fugaku was stunned, raised his hand to lift the wine bottle, and said with a smile, "They are all very important."

"Then what if you were asked to choose one one day?"

"How could such a day happen?"

Uchiha Chen looked at the lake and said calmly, "I hope there won't be such a day."

Fugaku was silent, and then said, "Chen, when I leave, I will bury a few jars of wine in the yard. When we all return to Konoha, how about having a good drink like today?"

"Okay, I won't be drunk until then."
