"I never expected such a young girl to have such insights. It seems I really am falling behind the times."
"Although I appear to be a child now, my real age is probably over thirty. I've even lost track of it myself!"
Uchiha Matsuzaki looked at Chestnut Snow's face and thought to himself.
Chestnut Snow turned her head to look at Uchiha Matsuzaki and asked, "Matsuzaki-kun, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"
"No, no, I was just mesmerized by your face! Haha!"
Uchiha Matsuzaki said with a laugh.
Chestnut Snow blushed a little at this, as it was her first time being this close to a boy.
"Alright, we should head back. I wonder what they're chatting about over there; they seem quite happy."
Uchiha Matsuzaki slowly stood up and said to Chestnut Snow.
And so, the two of them walked side by side back to the campsite.
"What are you all chatting about? You look so happy, tell us too."
Chestnut Snow looked at them and said with a smile as she sat down.
In this way, the group spent the entire day very happily, and it wasn't until evening that they slowly left the volcano and headed toward their homes.
"Ding, please head to the top of the Hokage Office Building to sign in."
"Damn it, no way. The sign-in task has to come at a time like this."
"Forget it, forget it, I'd better go quickly. I should get there before it gets completely dark."
Uchiha Matsuzaki suddenly received the sign-in task when he was 100 meters away from his front door.
He immediately turned around and sprinted toward the Hokage Office Building.
His strength was still relatively weak, so he didn't want to miss any opportunity to become stronger.
He soon arrived in front of the Hokage Office Building, where he saw the lights in the Hokage Office were still on, presumably because the Fourth Hokage had not yet returned home.
"It's so late and the Hokage still hasn't gone home. It seems the work of the Hokage is quite busy."
Uchiha Matsuzaki whispered.
After speaking, Uchiha Matsuzaki instantly vanished from where he stood and appeared on the roof of the Hokage Office Building.
"Ding, host is in position, starting sign-in. Duration: thirty minutes."
Upon hearing it would take thirty minutes, Uchiha Matsuzaki felt instantly dejected.
"I didn't expect it to be thirty minutes this time. If the plot continues like this, I'm afraid there will be one-hour or two-hour tasks in the future."
"Just thinking about it makes me feel miserable!"
Just then, Uchiha Matsuzaki suddenly sensed someone walking up to the roof, so he quickly found a place to hide.
"Fourth Hokage-sama..."
"The Hokage and someone else?"
Uchiha Matsuzaki hid in the shadows and eavesdropped on the two men's conversation.
"Fourth Hokage-sama, everything I was asked to prepare is ready. Now it only awaits your word."
"Is that so? It seems your work efficiency is quite good. If that's the case, then proceed."
"The world is not what it used to be anymore..."
Namikaze Minato was talking to a masked man on the roof, but neither of them knew that Uchiha Matsuzaki was hiding right beside them.
"Tomorrow is the first day of school. You must strive to find some powerful students within the academy. Only then will our Konoha have a future."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The masked man said with great respect.
