"Okay, let's eat now! Old Man also wants to hear from Xiao Jie about his experience of Land of Water. To be honest, after being a ninja for so many years, I have never been to Land of Water."
Old Man clapped his hands and rushed all the children to the lake to wash their hands. However, he vomited Water Release. He simply rushed and then pulled Uchiha Jie to sit together.
"Well, you're not hurt." Dad took out a scroll from his pocket, took out two bottles of wine, knocked it on the stone next to him, and the lid popped out.
He handed Uchiha Jie a bottle, took a bottle himself, and drank directly to his mouth.
Uchiha Jie was not so careless. He took out a Kunai, gently peeled off the bottle cap, took out a small glass from somewhere, and poured himself a glass.
He touched the bottle held by Old Man lightly, and Uchiha Jie drank it in one gulp.
"I didn't see what Kirigakure looks like this time, but I saw Fourth Mizukage." He said while filling his cup again.
"Oh? Fourth Mizukage? I remember it was called Karatachi Yagura. How about it? Is it awesome?" Old Man raised the bottle and touched it with Uchiha Jie again.
"It's quite powerful. It should be Perfect Jinchuriki, the one who can fire Tailed Beast Ball in succession." Uchiha Jie said with a smile.
"Tailed Beast Ball? Still firing continuously? When Konoha was making trouble with Nine-Tails, one shot of Tailed Beast Ball made me tremble." Old Man's eyes widened, looking unbelievable.
"Nine-Tails is Nine-Tails. Back then, Hashirama Senju left the best things for Konoha. Three Tails is also Tailed Beast, but it is far different from Nine-Tails." Uchiha Jie waved his hand.
"But it is Tailed Beast after all. Jinchuriki is a big killer on the battlefield."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not alone against Fourth Mizukage."
Uchiha Jie drank another drink and boasted about the legend that Momochi Zabuza slashed Tailed Beast Ball with a knife. He lowered his voice again and whispered to Old Man that he also met Uchiha Itachi.
"You were right not to kill him."
Old Man also lowered his voice. He looked at the children who were having fun while eating, and sighed softly:
"It's not that he doesn't deserve to die, but the children need a goal. If they don't even have hatred now, then there will be nothing."
"They are still too young, but they are all strong children. I can see the anger in their eyes when they practice. It is the fire of hatred."
"But they need to find a direction and a future on their own, instead of just filling their chests with hatred or being our marionettes."
"But that takes time."
"In a few years, or even longer, when they have established a reliable bond, or found their beloved partner, or when they can live a happy life of their own, I don't have to worry so much, and I can retire."
"This is why I secretly brought you out. You have been troublesome to Old Man in the past few years." Uchiha Jie raised the glass, raised his head, and drank it down.
"I also want to leave the village. I know you have found many people, but they are not willing to leave. They all face the final outcome calmly."
"But I am the most cowardly one in the family. Even if I activate Three Tomoe, I am still a coward. I can still think of the scene when I abandoned my teammates that year..."
"But you rescued another teammate and got important information."
Uchiha Jie drank another glass, and Old Man had already finished the entire bottle. Although the alcohol content was not high, he had no side dishes, so he drank quickly, and his face was already stained with a trace of red.
"I never use this to excuse myself, because I was already 2 Tomoe at the time and had the ability to save him, but I was a coward..."
"Don't worry, Old Man has never had any psychological pressure. The past is like this wine, passing through the intestines and no longer lingering..."
Old Man took another sip and burped.
Uchiha Jie remained silent. He knew that Old Man had turned on Three Tomoe after returning from that mission. He was once a genius boy in the family.
"Let's not talk about that unlucky thing." Old Man finally drank enough wine, picked up the lunch in front of him, and started eating in big mouthfuls.
When the aunt saw Uchiha Jie return, she took out all the precious ingredients from the bottom of the box and cooked a feast.
However, the most delicious food was all placed in front of the children. Old Man only got a few dishes to go with the wine. He did not complain, but ate with relish.
After taking two bites, he couldn't stop talking anymore.
"Then what? What happens after you knock down Fourth Mizukage?" he asked.
"That's Kirigakure's territory. The old ones are fighting and the younger ones are coming. The battle is not over yet. Three more elite Jonins have arrived. The one in front of them has snow-white hair and a mouth full of murderous fangs. The one who is best at Hydrification Technique..."
Uchiha Jie told stories, telling the stories that happened later one by one, but Old Man's focus was no longer on the battle.
"How about that Kirigakure female ninja, isn't she pretty?" He chuckled.
"Well, she is quite beautiful..." Uchiha Jie scratched his head, Terumi Mei is of course a great beauty, there is no doubt about it.
"Do you have any ideas?" Old Man came close to Uchiha Jie, pushed his shoulders, and asked in an ambiguous tone.
"No!" Uchiha Jie said firmly.
This time he offended Terumi Mei badly, but fortunately he did not reveal his true face.
"That's good. If you have time later, introduce us to me." Old Man rubbed his hands, and what he said made Uchiha Jie stunned.
"Land of Waves In a remote place like this, there are not even ninjas. Old Man Even if you accomplish nothing, you still have a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan."
"When you want a wife, you naturally want a powerful female ninja, preferably one who can protect me."
"Old Man, haven't you always adhered to the principle of not getting married?" Uchiha Jie asked curiously, tilting his head.
In his memory, Old Man was urged by his family many times, but he always said he wanted to be single coolly, but now he changed his mind.
"Oh, Old Man's heart also needs someone to comfort it, and there are only so many people in the family, and there is usually no one who can talk and drink. My aunt is old, and Quan is too young..."
Old Man blushed, threw up the peanuts in his hand, and caught them in one mouthful. Then he simply lay down on the grass and threw them up one after another.
"Then I wish Old Man that your sword will never grow old." Uchiha Jie grinned, "If there is a chance, I will personally take you to Kirigakure to propose marriage."
