Shimura Danzo Comes to Call

"Don't think I'm exaggerating. Remember your mother's purple-haired friend from Konoha?"

"Purple-haired friend? Oh, I remembered that Mr. Dan. What happened to my mother's friend?" Qianyu asked doubtfully. Although he was only a few years old at the time, he still remembered Kato Dan.

"That guy is just like your Uncle Shinsetsu, Tenten talking about becoming Hokage. Look how many years he's been buried now. So, I'm telling you, never talk about becoming Hokage all the time. Of course, if you're tired of living and want to be buried early, then disregard what I said!" Tianqi looked at Sen'u with a half-smile.

"How could I possibly have lived long enough? There are so many delicious and fun places I haven't been to yet, I don't want to be buried!" Upon hearing this, Sen'u immediately shook his head. No one wants to be buried and die. At the same time, he also gave up on his dream of becoming Hokage. Anyway, this dream wasn't particularly firm, so giving it up was fine.

Putting that aside, thinking about tomorrow, Sen'u rubbed her hands together and asked with a fawning expression, "Dad, tomorrow we'll be divided into groups and assigned team leaders. Do you have any inside information to share with me?"

"What inside information could an idle person like me have? The division and personnel allocation are all handled by the higher-ups of Konoha. How could they possibly tell a peripheral figure like me!" Tianqi said calmly.

Actually, he knew the inside story, but telling Sen'u in advance would make tomorrow less fun; he was planning to watch the show tomorrow.

Sen'u rolled her eyes at her father, "What kind of marginal figure are you? The village's higher-ups come looking for you all the time. What kind of marginal figure are you? If you don't want to talk, just say so. Why make up excuses?"

"Think what you want, I don't know anything about it!" Tianqi spread his hands, looking indifferent.

"Tch! Fine, don't tell me then. I'm not that interested in knowing anyway!" Sen'u scoffed and turned to leave.

"By the way, Sen'u, about what I told you about Shinsetsu and Dan Katō, don't mention it to your mother when she comes back!" Sen'u reminded Chiyu as he was about to leave. If Tianqi found out about what he said, she would probably throw a tantrum. In order to avoid causing trouble for his main body Sen'u Tsunade things in advance.

"Alright, I got it!" Sen'u turned and gave her father a disdainful look. He dared to say it in front of her but didn't dare to mention it in front of her mother. There was really no one else like him.

Seeing that Sen'u was about to leave after replying, Tianqi asked again, "Sen'u, where are you going now?"

"Where else can we go? We're tired after a long day of school, so of course we should go back to our rooms and rest!"

Upon hearing Sen'u's words, Tianqi immediately frowned and began to scold, "You're already getting cocky with just a mere Chunin level strength, aren't you? Tie your weights on and go train for two hours before you come back."

Sen'u has great talent, but he can't neglect training. After all, no matter how good your talent is, it's useless if you don't train hard. Sen'u is different from Tianqi; he doesn't have a system to help him.

"No, Dad, I'm leaving school tomorrow to become Genin, can't I rest today?" Sen'u said with a displeased look.

"If you want to be a hero, you have to train hard. One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage. If you don't train hard now, forget about being a hero. You'll only be killed on the battlefield! And look at Kushina, she's a girl, still training outside and hasn't come back yet. How can you, a guy, be so shameless?" Tianqi said with a serious face, leaving no room for negotiation on the matter of training.

"Tch! She's with her sweetheart, what's the point of me training all by myself? Honestly!" Sen'u muttered under her breath.

Seeing Sen'u still muttering to herself, Tianqi immediately started shooing her away, "What are you muttering about? Hurry up and go!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go!" Seeing that she couldn't escape, Sen'u reluctantly went back to her room and put on heavy clothes.

Just as Sen'u went back to her room to put on her heavy clothes, a little girl came to Tianqi's house. Seeing the little girl at the door, Tianqi quickly got up and said with a smile, "Little Mikoto is here, come in quickly."

"Hello, Tianqi!" Uchiha Mikoto greeted him respectfully and politely.

"Good, good, good, and good to you too!" Tianqi nodded with satisfaction at the polite Uchiha Mikoto. As expected of someone from a prominent family, she was very polite, much better than his own little rascal.

"Mikoto, you're here to see Sen'u, right?"

"Yes, Uncle, is Sen'u- nii home?" Uchiha Mikoto nodded and asked.

"He's at home. I was just about to send him out for training. Now that you're here, you can help your uncle keep an eye on him, okay?" Tianqi said gently to Uchiha Mikoto, his attitude being far superior to that of Sen'u.

"Okay!" Uchiha Mikoto nodded. As long as she could be with Sen'u, she didn't care what she did.

Soon, Sen'u finished putting on her heavy clothes and went out with Uchiha Mikoto. Watching the two little devils leave, Tianqi smiled and shook his head. He liked Uchiha Mikoto, the granddaughter of the Uchiha Clan elder, very much. After all, she was a future virtuous wife and loving mother. Who wouldn't like such a person?

Tianqi wholeheartedly approves of Sen'u and Uchiha Mikoto getting together. As for whether it will affect the future plot, Tianqi doesn't care at all. Giving such a sensible girl to Uchiha Fugaku would be a waste; bringing her into his family is the right choice.

After basking in the sun in the yard for a while, dusk fell and the sun began to set. Seeing that there was no more sun to bask in, Tianqi put away his armchair and went to the living room to drink some tea.

While Tianqi was drinking tea, a man dressed in gray arrived at Tianqi's house. Looking at Tianqi sipping his tea, the man said, "You've really been living a leisurely life since leaving the Root!"

"Oh, isn't this Elder Konoha, the Leader of Root? What brings you here? Please, have a seat!" Upon seeing that it was Shimura Danzō, Tianqi stood up and greeted him warmly. Although he and Danzo hadn't gotten along well in the past, after so many years of getting to know each other, Tianqi had found that Danzo wasn't so bad after all, and that he was someone who could be managed.

"Alright, enough with the fake enthusiasm. I'm not here to chat with you today. Take a look at this!" With that, Danzo pulled out a scroll and placed it on the table.

"You really don't come here without a reason. Here, have a cup of tea first, let me see what it is!" After Danzo a cup of tea, Tianqi slowly picked up the scroll and began to read it.

"This, this is!" Tianqi's eyes widened as he looked at the contents of the scroll. He Danzo and suddenly had a bad feeling.
