All right, he had finished looking at the cliff. It was time to turn his attention to the village.
This temporary village already looked a little like the future Konoha-though its walls were entirely wooden, apparently made by Hashirama. When Uzumaki Gamu extended his senses inside those walls, he discovered that his clansmen were all in the village.
Tobirama smiled. "You sensed them, right? Apart from a very small number of Uzumaki clansmen who died in accidents, most survived, and the entire clan moved here."
"I see... well, that's pretty good!" With his clansmen safe, Uzumaki Gamu could finally relax!
Just then, someone appeared in front of them with the Body Flicker Technique-it was Mito, whom he hadn't seen in ages.
Another four years had passed. Now twenty-two and a mother, she had the charm of a young married woman-but upon seeing Uzumaki Gamu, she looked like a little girl again. She threw herself into his arms, crying, "Second Brother!!!"
"Uh... I'm back, and..." Uzumaki Gamu scratched his head awkwardly. "You're a mother now. Could you act a little more mature?"
"You're the one who said I'd always be your little sister, no matter what... anyway, how much time passed on your side this time?" Mito asked curiously.
"A month and a half, I think?" Uzumaki Gamu answered.
"...Even less than last time? No wonder you barely look any different." Mito sounded worried-she really feared that her second brother would go on living all alone like this. But seeing Hikari beside him eased that worry considerably... after all, someone was always there with him now.
No, wait. Why was there another one? Where exactly had Second Brother gone? Why had he brought a woman back? Had he been serious about marrying several wives?
Meanwhile, Esdeath asked Hikari, "Who is this?"
