After the welcoming ceremony, Iori and Tsunade said goodbye and agreed to install electrical appliances tomorrow.
Tsunade takes Shizune to Senju Clan Compound.
And Iori took Shisui and slowly walked towards Uchiha Clan Compound.
Walking along the familiar streets, Iori felt like a world away. When I set off from Konoha to Land of Earth in the first half of the year, I was still a small Chunin, struggling to survive in the war.
Your own Fate is drifting like duckweed, drifting with the tide and controlled by others.
However, he is different now.
He has gained the power to dominate his own Fate. One-Tail Jinchuriki, Five-Tails Jinchuriki and Kazekage are all his defeated enemies and dead souls under the sword.
Even if Madara Uchiha and Iori are on the front, they still have the confidence to beat the shit out of him. The worst they can do is lie down for a few months and turn on Susanoo to fully power Ea and Kaguya-hime. You have to be careful when they come.
Passing by the familiar meatball shop, Iori stopped, a warm memory welling up in his heart. One of the best memories he and Shisui and others had in the past was eating meatballs here.
"Shisui, would you like some meatballs? I'll treat you this time." Iori turned to look at Shisui, with a warm smile on his lips.
In the past, when they came to eat meatballs together, Shisui, Uzuki Kaori and Kurama Takumi usually paid for it, and Iori always returned the invitation after a long time.
Although he never expressed his gratitude in words, deep down in his heart, he always remembered their help.
"Okay, brother Iori, I won't be polite this time." Shisui also smiled, with a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.
Thinking of those peaceful days, his heart was filled with emotion.
On the battlefield, there is only endless killing and death. In order to survive, people lose everything and become as ruthless as beasts.
This is why many people who return from the battlefield suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Even if ninjas are tougher than ordinary people, it is difficult to completely avoid these psychological shadows.
Iori patted Shisui on the shoulder and led him into the meatball shop.
He still remembered his promise to bring Medea some Ninja World special desserts.
In his memory, this store's three-color meatballs are the most famous.
The store is full of people, as if the war outside has never affected this place, the village is still peaceful, and the place is like a Pure Land.
Iori looked around and looked at those happy faces, and he felt a sense of peace in his heart.
In this noisy place, he and Shisui temporarily forgot the cruelty of the battlefield and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
While the two were lining up, a child came in from outside the door.
He has short black hair and deep black pupils, and at a young age he has already carved two tear troughs on his face.
This kid was wearing a ninja uniform with the Uchiha Clan Gunbai logo on it. After looking around, his eyes locked on Shisui who was waiting in line.
A trace of joy flashed across his face, and he walked over quickly and said excitedly, "Brother Shisui, you are back too! I heard that you won a big victory over Land of Wind!"
"Is this senior the Uchiha Iori senior you mentioned?" Itachi looked at Iori curiously, his eyes full of admiration and expectation.
He has been a close friend of "Brother Iori" as Shisui calls him, a man who he believes can bridge the conflicts between his clan and the village.
"Yes, brother Iori, let me introduce to you. This is my friend, Itachi Uchiha." Shisui pointed to Itachi with a smile and introduced Iori.
"Although he is only 5 years old, he has a mature mind and is not limited to the status quo of his clan. I treat him as a friend and younger brother."
Iori nodded and stretched out his hand, "Uchiha Iori."
Itachi held Iori's hand and introduced himself seriously, "I am Itachi Uchiha. Please give me your advice."
Iori smiled slightly and said nothing more. This is not the place for conversation.
He gave Shisui a secret signal to meet at the secret base and took Itachi Uchiha with him.
When Shisui saw the code of Iori, he understood it and responded with a gesture to express his understanding.
Then, he made two hand gestures to Itachi. When Itachi Uchiha saw it, he immediately calmed down, walked to the back of the queue, and started queuing.
When it was Iori's turn, Iori walked to the counter and ordered a few skewers of three-color meatballs. With Sharingan and his five senses far beyond ordinary people, Iori quickly understood the craftsmanship.
He turned back to Shisui and said, "The meatballs here are still so delicious. It would be great if Kaori and Takumi also came back." There was a trace of nostalgia and a trace of worry in his tone.
Shisui took a bunch of meatballs and took a bite, with a satisfied smile on his lips, as if he had returned to that afternoon that year.
After being separated from Shisui, Iori returned home. He looked around and decided to make a complete renovation of his residence.
Shadow Clone Technique, Earth Release and Projection Magecraft came together and built a modern villa in this era similar to the Warring States Period in Japan.
Modern appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators are also installed in place. The energy source is his improved chakra Sealing Jutsu, which can fully serve as a battery. The only problem is the output.
When the last piece of furniture was placed in place, Iori stood in the center of the living room, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
He jumped on the bed and rolled around twice before calming down.
Looking at the sky outside the window, he realized that it was getting late and decided to head to his childhood secret base now.
Walking along the path, Iori's thoughts couldn't help but wander back to the past. Uchiha Clan Compound is now located in the center of the village, so naturally there is not much open space to use.
In order to find a suitable place to establish a secret base, he put a lot of thought into it.
Finally, he came to a hidden corner, opened the stone door hidden under the grass, and entered the familiar underground space.
This place was once a safe haven for him and his friends, carrying countless memories.
This place was previously the training ground for Shisui's grandfather Kagami Uchiha. After it was abandoned, Iori and others dug a space underground, reinforced it with Earth Release and used it as a secret base.
Walking underground, I found that Shisui and Itachi were already waiting here. They probably came over early in the afternoon, cleaned the base, and changed the torches.
"It seems I'm late, thank you for your hard work." Iori said while looking at the brand new base. They haven't been here since the war started.
Logically speaking, this place should be full of dust, but now that it is so clean, someone must have cleaned it.
Iori Projection took out several sofas and placed them in the base. He chose one and sat down on it, then asked the two of them to sit down.
After they sat down, Iori looked at Itachi Uchiha and said calmly, "Since Shisui regards you as my biological brother, then I will just call you Weasel."
"I'm going to take the position of clan leader from your father's hands, and then I plan to accept you as my disciple, how about that?" Iori said it straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
