Second Shinobi World War, along with Hanzo retreated, it was completely over.

In this war, Konoha and Sunagakure suffered the most serious damage, especially Sunagakure, who was beaten to the doorstep twice by others. If Chiyo had not exerted his strength the second time, Sunagakure would have completely withdrawn from the position of Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Although Iwagakure also participated in the war, it was generally not serious.

Kirigakure didn't even participate in this war. Their village has been doing their own thing.

Therefore, the ultimate beneficiary of Second Shinobi World War is definitely Kumogakure who gained a lot of benefits from this war.

Not only did it severely damage the biggest enemy Konoha, but it also brought in a large number of Kekkei Genkai ninjas to fill the vacancy of Kumogakure.

Shaoyu knows that Second Shinobi World War is over. Next, for several years, the entire Shinobi World will be peaceful. Kumogakure can develop well in such a long time.

He also needs to develop his senses during this period of time.

Ten Shadows Technique There is one last shikigami,

Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga.

This thing can be said to be extremely over the top. It has a strange mechanism and is not weak in numerical values. Tiger Funeral has the strongest strength among Kage Level. Not to mention him, he is at least a super shadow, but correspondingly, it is too difficult to tame.

Even if Third Raikage helped Shaoyu to tame it, Shaoyu felt that there was a high probability of overturning. After all, if this thing couldn't be killed in one hit, they would be the ones to die.

He decided to at least wait until he learned the "H" used by Six Eyes before taming him.

After all, Gojo Wu said in the original book that for the first time, he could defeat Mahoraga just by using "He". The reason why Mahoraga has not been defeated is that Sukuna has been carefully protecting him, for fear of being defeated by Gojo Wu.

But just having "He" is not enough insurance. After all, Gojo Satoru is Gojo Satoru, and he is himself. If the power is different due to different worlds, wouldn't he explode?

And we don't rule out the possibility that Gojo Wu is bragging.

εu003d(´ο`*))) Oh.

Don't think about it so much now.

"Mrs. Keiko, please make sukiyaki today."

When Uchiha Shaoyu's voice came from the corridor, Keiko was leaning over to wipe the bamboo ditch at the edge of the courtyard.

She straightened up when she heard the sound, wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with her arms, and bowed respectfully toward the source of the sound.

"Okay, Master Shaoyu."

Her voice is gentle and soft, with a slightly low tone unique to Kumogakure local women.

The thin afternoon sunlight filtered through the sparse bamboo leaves in the courtyard, casting mottled light and shadow on her body.

She is indeed young, probably in her early twenties. She wears a plain but starched light blue housekeeping kimono. Her waist is thinned by a belt, which outlines the slim curves of a young woman that have not been eroded by time and overwork.

This Mrs. Keiko is Kumogakure a single mother.

Some time ago, her husband, who was helping others build a house, lost his footing and fell from a building while building a house. He died, leaving behind a wife of just two years and a child who was just a few months old.

Shaoyu saw that she was pitiful, and since he and Shisui were both ninjas and had a tight schedule for training on weekdays, he asked her to work at his house and take care of his and Shisui's daily life.

She was given a good salary so that she could raise her children in peace and contentment.

But her hands and feet are extremely nimble.

After receiving the order, he immediately put down the rag in his hand and turned towards the kitchen.

The hem of the kimono swayed gently with her steps, and her slender ankles were vaguely visible.

Although she encountered misfortune and lived a poor life, she still retained a clean and neat charm in her posture.

Shaoyu turned and walked to the inner room, preparing to deal with the files that he had not finished reading today.

Silence returned to the courtyard, with only the crisp sound of bamboo tubes hitting stones and the faint sound of Keiko starting to prepare dinner from the direction of the kitchen.

"Well...Shisui likes sukiyaki the most. He should be training now..."

The afterglow of the setting sun dyes the buildings and streets of Kumogakure into a warm golden red.

Uchiha Shisui finished the extra training after sparring with Killer B and walked home alone.

The fatigue caused by training is still in my limbs, but my heart feels enriched by the competition with Killer B.

Just as he turned a relatively secluded path leading to Uchiha Compound, a small, suppressed sob reached his ears.

Shisui stopped and looked around, only to see a small figure squatting in the shadow of the street corner not far away.

It was a little girl who looked two or three years younger than him.

She has short hair that looks beautiful honey gold in the sunset, neatly combed behind her ears, and is wearing Kumogakure common children's clothes, but at this moment she is hugging her knees with her small arms, shrugging her shoulders, and making a whimpering sound like a kitten.

Shisui was stunned for a moment.

Although his personality is calmer than that of his peers, he is still a kind-hearted child at heart.

Seeing someone, especially a child crying, he subconsciously felt a little intolerable.

He looked around and saw that there were very few people on this path in the evening, and there was no one around who looked like the girl's parents.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Shisui walked over, stopped a few steps away from the girl, and asked in a slightly lower voice.

"Um... are you okay? Why are you crying here?"

The little girl seemed startled by the sudden sound and raised her head suddenly.

She has a pair of beautiful big blue eyes. The eye sockets and the tip of her nose are red at the moment, and there are tears hanging on her long eyelashes.

She saw clearly that Shisui was just a boy who was older than her, and his eyes were clear and gentle. Uchiha's good looks and Shisui's own temperament were very high, and he didn't seem to be a bad person. The sobs calmed down a little, but his voice was still full of tears and fear.

"It's... it's dark... it's so quiet here, so scary... I... I don't dare to go home alone..."

As she spoke, she looked fearfully at the deepening dusk around her, her mouth tightened, and she was about to cry again.

It turned out that I didn't dare to go home because I was afraid of the dark.

Shisui felt relieved, as long as he didn't encounter something more serious.

He looked at the little girl's scared look and remembered that when he was a child, he would occasionally have a similar fear of darkness and loneliness.

As a child, he can understand this fear.

Send her back?

The idea came up.

Uchiha Compound is not far from here, but the little girl's home may be in other directions.

If you send her off, you will be late returning home, and your brother may be worried...

But it seems even worse to leave her here alone.

The sky is indeed getting darker.

After a brief inner struggle, Shisui made a decision. He tried to make his voice sound more reliable.

"Where is your home? I... I will take you back."
