"How did you even think of asking me this question?"
Capital of the Land of Fire, Daimyo Residence.
Facing Takenaka Kaguya's probing gaze, Mitsuba Hyuga did not hide anything, and immediately said respectfully, "Lord Takenaka, actually we at Konoha just want to confirm whether the person you are fighting with at the Graveyard Mountains is Lord Madara Uchiha."
Yes, Lord Madara Uchiha, this is what Mitsuba Hyuga calls Madara Uchiha. Even though Madara Uchiha has left Konoha for almost two years now, and Uchiha Clan people are not willing to mention it, Madara Uchiha's strength is recognized by everyone.
Furthermore, during the period when Madara Uchiha left Konohagakure, he never did anything to harm Konohagakure. Therefore, it is understandable that Mitsuba Hyuga's title for Madara Uchiha has not changed.
"Yes, I did go to Land of Fire, and I also fought with people in the Graveyard Mountains, and the person I fought with was Madara Uchiha." Takenaka Kaguya nodded and said calmly.
As he spoke, he thought of the battle scene at that time. To be honest, if he hadn't realized that he had been hit by Izanami, and had clearly understood the way to get rid of Izanami by reading the original work of Hokage, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get out of the Izanami illusion cast by Madara Uchiha so quickly.
It has to be said that even Madara Uchiha, who has not yet reached his peak, has reached a level of strength that ordinary people cannot reach in their lifetime.
"Hiss!"
On the opposite side, although Mitsuba Hyuga had already made a prediction in his mind, when he heard Takenaka Kaguya's accurate reply, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
First, I was shocked that Takenaka Kaguya actually fought Madara Uchiha in a one-on-one situation, but was able to escape unscathed.
Second, Mitsuba Hyuga is very worried that Takenaka Kaguya will have a rift with Konoha because of Madara Uchiha.
On the opposite side, looking at Mitsuba Hyuga's sincere expression of worry, Takenaka Kaguya smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I know this is all Madara Uchiha's personal decision, so I will not associate this matter with Konoha."
"Hoo!"
For a moment, Mitsuba Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked cautiously, "Lord Takenaka, may I ask, Madara Uchiha... why did he fight with you at the Graveyard Mountains?"
"I can't explain this matter in one sentence or two. It's been so long and I don't want to mention it again.
But don't worry, I just said, Madara Uchiha is Madara Uchiha, and I will not blame Konoha.
As for the matter between me and Madara Uchiha, one day I will settle the accounts with him personally." Takenaka Kaguya said calmly.
Hearing this, Mitsuba Hyuga also wisely didn't say anything more. He just chatted with Takenaka Kaguya about how good the relationship between the Hyuga Clan and Kaguya Clan was before. Then he lamented that it would have been better if Kaguya Clan had not left Land of Fire.
After sending Mitsuba Hyuga away, Takenaka Kaguya didn't do anything extra. He just stood quietly by the window and watched the snowflakes falling all over the sky.
In the next few days, neither Land of Fire Daimyo nor Daimyo of the Land of Water was summoned by anyone to summon Takenaka Kaguya. I don't know if they were afraid of Takenaka Kaguya's strength.
Not only that, around where Takenaka Kaguya lives, Jonin monitors are changed every day. The highest number is six people, and the lowest number is four.
Half a month later, Daimyo of the Land of Water's visit ended, and Takenaka Kaguya took Eiichiro Hoshigaki and others on their way back to escort Daimyo of the Land of Water.
After that, the mission was over. Takenaka Kaguya originally thought that he could go back to Half-Moon Island to rest for a while. However, before he left Daimyo of the Land of Water's mansion, Kirigakure arranged some S-level missions for him.
In this way, for more than three years, Takenaka Kaguya was performing tasks and traveling to and from Half-Moon Island.
Konoha In the spring of ZZ7, the chill has not dissipated. A tall young man with a height of nearly two meters is standing on the deck, looking far ahead at the sea level. In his deep eyes, there is no joy or sorrow, and his face is very calm.
Even though the waves were turbulent and constantly beating against the ship, causing the ship to shake violently, the tall young man always stood there steadily. At this moment, there seemed to be a mist on his body, making people feel that he was out of tune with this world.
Suddenly, I saw a Ninja wearing Kirigakure Forehead Protector holding a big cloak walking over. He walked to a position about two meters behind the tall young man. Ninja saluted respectfully. "Lord Takenaka, the wind is strong on the deck and the weather is cold. Why don't you go back to the cabin to rest."
Yes, more than three years have passed and Takenaka Kaguya, who is eighteen years old, is already a strong man over two meters tall.
Hearing the sound, Takenaka Kaguya did not look back, but said calmly, "It doesn't matter, this little wind is nothing.
By the way, the village leaders urgently summoned me to the village, and because they were afraid that I would not go back, they specially invited my aunt and Akina back. Is there anything urgent?"
When talking about this request, Takenaka Kaguya's tone was obviously a little more serious. If he hadn't confirmed that the scroll that summoned him back urgently had Genji's signature, he might have been worried that Kirigakure would use the lives of Yuko Kaguya and Akina Nakamori to threaten him.
Behind him, Kirigakure Ninja had a look of hesitation on his face. After a while, he said, "Lord Takenaka, First, Mr. Mizukage, I'm afraid we don't have much time left."
As soon as these words came out, Takenaka Kaguya calmly had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Although he had long thought that such a day would come, he never thought that this day would come so quickly.
"Byakuren has always been in good health, how could this be?" Takenaka Kaguya turned his head and looked at the other party and asked.
"Lord Takenaka, First Mizukage's body has actually not been in good condition since last year.
However, in order to prevent chaos in the village, this information was banned from top to bottom, so few people knew about it.
But now, Master First Mizukage's body is almost exhausted, and it is impossible to hide it any longer.
Therefore..."
Kirigakure Ninja Speaking of this, it was obvious that he hesitated again about what he had not finished.
After listening, Takenaka Kaguya nodded, not embarrassing the other party, but his face regained his composure, and then he sighed slowly and said, "Oh, time is not forgiving. I never thought that Byakuren, the ice Byakuren who was so powerful on the battlefield and killed all the Ninjas, would also have a hero's twilight days.
That's all, let the boat speed up and try to reach the village before sunset today."
"Yes!"
