Since that was the case, the husband and wife stopped talking, but that only made Ran's skin crawl.
Torikaze and Tomohiro, on the other hand, were keeping things low-key and relaxed. They either went for walks or drank tea indoors. In any case, their time in the Land of Whirlpools had allowed Tomohiro to completely unwind.
"We'll be leaving soon. I really am a little reluctant to go."
"What's there to be reluctant about? It's not like this is the only time we'll ever come. Whenever you want to come again, just come boldly."
That was easy to say, but there would always be ties holding them back then.
"Either it's the clan members or the clan grounds. Every day revolves around the clan. Hurry up and have Ran help me train a clan member who can handle all the Uzumaki Clan's affairs on their own. That way, I can relax a lot more."
Torikaze found that rather amusing. "There's no telling how long his studies will take. If he ends up studying for six months straight, you'll be living comfortably."
Tomohiro coughed twice and did not continue the conversation.
Before long, it was time to return to Konoha.
Over the past few days, Tomohiro had followed Torikaze around the entire Land of Whirlpools several times.
Tomohiro used his phone to photograph all the beautiful scenery, planning to bring the pictures back for his clan members to see.
They were members of the Uzumaki Clan, yet many of them had never even seen the Land of Whirlpools.
And those elders around his age—when they saw the Land of Whirlpools again, they would probably be moved to tears.
They were all getting old. If they had the courage, they could probably come to the Land of Whirlpools themselves at least once
