Seeing You Is Like Seeing an Old Friend

But she was quite certain that no one could build something like Uchiha Shingen.

Was this the speed at which she approved documents in the office back then?

Are the Uchiha Clan really that ruthless?

Is this the legendary power of the Uchiha Clan, whose Fire Release are said to be invincible?

They don't even bring ready-made Explosive Tag, only materials; you have to make them on the spot when you need them?

"Sakurako, please put these away for me. I'm going to take a shower," Uchiha Shingen said to Sakurako before going into the bathroom.

The sound of rushing water came from inside.

Sakurako silently gathered up the Explosive Tag one by one. Beside her, stacks of Explosive Tag were neatly arranged, and on one side was a scroll with intricate spells drawn on it.

After a while, Uchiha Shingen came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.

My hair is a mess; it wasn't dried properly.

Sakurako had already finished packing up all the Explosive Tag. Seeing that Uchiha Shingen 'Uchiha Shingen hair was still wet, she went up to him, took the towel from his hand, and helped him dry his hair.

Uchiha Shingen initially wanted to tell her it wasn't necessary, but then he thought that the girl probably felt uneasy because she felt she couldn't do anything, so he let her be.

It's all too common. As a member of the Yuki Clan, she would naturally know that the world of ninjas is all about mutual exchange. Kindness isn't absent, but it has its limits.

Being suddenly rescued without having to give anything in return would definitely make you feel uneasy.

After having the other person help him dry his hair and fix his hairstyle, Uchiha Shingen walked up to his masterpiece of the night.

Sakurako did a really good job organizing it; it was folded neatly and was very pleasing to the eye.

Uchiha Shingen quickly Hand Seals, sealing all the Explosive Tag into the scroll.

The quantity might be a little large, but it's okay. Uchiha Obito has White Zetsu Cells, so he won't be killed by the explosion.

Furthermore, his Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags were modified, so he didn't need to release them all at once.

I really look forward to seeing Uchiha Obito's expression when he gets ganged up on.

Oh, by the way, this guy is wearing a mask, so you can't see his expression.

Look at his eyes, that little brother's eyes are always so expressive, just as good as his facial expressions.

After rolling up and tying the sealing scroll, Uchiha Shingen placed it into the scroll storage bag on his battle vest.

Including this one, all six scroll storage bags on the vest are now full.

Mission accomplished.

"Done, time for bed!" Uchiha Shingen clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Lord Shingen, I will protect you."

"No need. If something really happens, I can react faster than you." Uchiha Shingen patted her arm. "You've been working hard all night, you should rest too."

Uchiha Shingen arranged the two pillows, then pointed to the side against the wall and said, "You sleep inside, I'll sleep outside. I can take care of things if anything happens."

Sakurako nodded; she was used to doing whatever Uchiha Shingen said.

She climbed onto the bed very quietly, afraid of wrinkling the sheets by moving too much, and then obediently slept on the innermost side.

"I told you to sleep inside, not to be pressed against the wall..." Uchiha Shingen sighed. "I'm not that fat."

Sakurako blushed slightly and relaxed her sleeping posture a bit more.

Uchiha Shingen also climbed onto the bed. He wasn't so particular; the sensory barrier was already set up, so he just closed his eyes and went to sleep.

He continuously develops his physical and mental energy, giving him a great deal of control over his body. The idea that staying up late is harmful to health is not really true, and he is not greatly affected by his biological clock. He just needs to ensure he gets enough sleep.

Six hours later, he opened his eyes precisely on time.

The sensory barrier remained untriggered, and he slept soundly.

The only sound I could hear was even breathing.

He turned his head slightly. Sakurako was sleeping very soundly, her black hair spread out like clouds, her shoulders and arms exposed outside the blankets.

Although she was fast asleep, a hint of worry lingered in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, perhaps indicating a sweet dream; there was also some drool on her cherry-red lips.

Uchiha Shingen stated that it wasn't his saliva.

Actually, it's best to have no dreams; having no dreams means you've slept well.

He quietly got out of bed, pulled over a blanket, and covered Sakurako's shoulders.

Then they began changing into Konoha Ninja attire.

A standard Konoha Ninja outfit is characterized by its lightness, flexibility, versatility, and durability. Its design was developed by Konoha Ninja after experiencing numerous life-or-death situations.

For example, the sleeves on the vest are designed with six rolls of storage bags because that's the limit; any more would affect the activity.

The position of the Jonin the thigh is also determined by the individual's height.

After Uchiha Shingen mastered the Sealing Jutsu to a certain level, he stopped using ninja tool covers.

The main issue is that the Uchiha Clan's Manipulated Shuriken Technique require a large quantity of shuriken; many fancy moves require using a large number at once, and the suits simply don't have enough to hold them all.

Uchiha Shingen now habitually uses this technique in conjunction with the Flying Thunder God Technique, requiring an even greater number of copies.

After finally securing his leg wraps and putting on his gloves, Uchiha Shingen was all ready. He left the room, set up a spell on the door, and headed towards the exit.

As he stepped out of the Guest House, Uchiha Shisui was already waiting there.

"Brother Shingen."

Uchiha Shisui nodded to him, indicating that he was ready.

Uchiha Shingen hadn't had a moment's rest all night, and neither had Obito. As members of the same clan, they wouldn't let Uchiha Obito.

"Let's go, we need to see Mizukage," Uchiha Shingen said with a smile.

The two started walking towards the Mizukage Building.

There, Karatachi Yagura had already prepared the stage for them.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Seeing You Is Like Seeing an Old Friend

Today, the weather in Kirigakure is exceptionally fine.

Sunlight streamed onto the high walls of the Mizukage Building, making even the textures on them clearly visible—a rare sight in Kirigakure shrouded in perpetual fog.

Of course, this only applies to Kirigakure).

For Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui, the humidity here was a bit too high, making them feel uncomfortable.

The advantage is that Water Release is really convenient here.

That can save a lot of Chakra.

But today, nobody cares about the weather.

In front of the Mizukage Building, ANBU the Hidden Mist Village operatives, who usually disliked showing their faces in public, were gathered in groups.

Ahead of them was a large group of people, all of whom were important figures in Kirigakure.

Dozens of prominent figures from the Hidden Mist Village Clan glared at ANBU other.

Both sides appeared to be waiting for someone, but the atmosphere of confrontation was even more intense.

"Did the Mizukage summon us here so we could admire today's sun?" someone said sarcastically.

"My lords, please calm down," the ANBU said, forcing themselves to "advise" them.

The two sides haven't fallen out yet. Although they consider these people as dead in their hearts, they will still have to bow their heads until the very last moment.

They were merely bowing their heads; making them give way was out of the question. Karatachi Yagura had given a strict order: no one from Konoha was to enter until the people from Leaf Village arrived.

"How dare the dignified Mizukage over the people of Leaf Village like this? What kind of behavior is this?"

"Indeed, Hidden Mist Village and Leaf Village are both among the Five Great Ninja Villages, why bother with such a fawning attitude?"

The humiliation of the ANBU triggered the ninja clans' excitement, and they immediately started spewing insults.

They completely forgot that they were in a similar situation in front of the Hozuki Clan, and the Hozuki Clan, whom they followed blindly, were extremely polite to the two ninjas from Leaf Village.

But what does it matter? They're the ANBU, so why not take advantage of the opportunity? These kinds of opportunities are rare.

In their hearts, Karatachi Yagura is no longer the Mizukage; he doesn't deserve it.

Karatachi Yagura was not the Mizukage they chose; he wasn't from the beginning.

The ANBU were furious, but they simply stopped arguing and kept their mouths shut, letting the other side shout.

The elders, led by Genji, watched this scene with indifference.

The old man, leaning on his cane, looked at the descendants of his former companions and sighed inwardly.

The ninja clans of Kirigakure have worked so hard to get to where they are today, but after today, all their efforts will have been in vain.

Back then, the ninja clans maintained their relationships through marriage alliances. This was partly because they had all fought fiercely back then, and this helped to ease tensions.

Secondly, although there are many ninja clans in Hidden Mist Village, there are actually only a few that are truly powerful. It would be better to form a marriage alliance and let nature create a miracle.

Terumi Mei means the abundant fruit that has been borne.

Although there is only one at present, it proves that this path is feasible; there is a fundamental difference between 1 and 0.

But after today, there will probably only be this number 1.

As for the remaining oddballs, Genji didn't hold much hope.

Perhaps we must continue to introduce new bloodline limits, such as Kaguya Clan, who has refused to join Kirigakure to this day.

Their Shikotsumyaku is an extremely powerful bloodline, but it seems that no one has awakened it in this generation.

The noise grew louder and louder. Genji shook his head, not wanting to watch their ugly behavior any longer. Just as he was about to say something, the voices suddenly quieted down.

They all looked behind them.

That's the direction facing the sun.

From that direction, two teenagers were walking towards the Mizukage Building.

"Green."

"Elder."

"Is that the White Ghost of Leaf Village and Body Flicker Shisui?"

"Yes, Elder, the one on the left is the White Ghost, and the one on the right is the Body Flicker Technique," Qing Genji explained.

Genji took a few steps forward, leaning on his cane, seemingly trying to get a clear look at the two young men.

Qing rushed forward to help him up, but Genji stopped him.

"Qing, move aside, you're blocking my way."

Qing retreated dejectedly.

Genji tried his best to open his eyes wide.

As the two teenagers approached, he could see them more clearly.

The boy on the left caught his attention.

The other person's demeanor was very familiar.

"So similar..."

He whispered something.

At this moment, two Uchiha Clan boys also walked through the crowd of Hidden Mist Village who had made way for them and stopped in front of Genji.

"Elder Genshi, I have long admired your name." Uchiha Shisui smiled brightly.

"No, it is I who have long admired your name, Shisui- kun." Genji chuckled, his gaze then falling on Uchiha Shingen. "This must be Shingen- kun, right?"

"Elder Genshi, hello." Uchiha Shingen greeted him with a smile.

The powerful figures who followed the Mizukage back then are now incredibly old.

The most outrageous thing is that he was still alive more than a decade later.

Ōnoki also seemed to have a lot of energy.

Uchiha Madara goes without saying; he's practically flawless, yet he still managed to fool Uchiha Obito.
