Returning to the village

"All right, everyone, let's call it a day! Yuying, if you have something to do, go on back! I want to train a little longer."

"Yeah! Yuying, if you have something to do, go on back!" Tsunade and Orochimaru said.

"Okay, I need to go see our teacher."

"Mm-hmm, go ahead!" Tsunade said.

Itō Yuying used Instant Transmission and left the training ground!

"Ah... no matter how many times I see it, I'm still jealous!"

"Mm-hmm... me too!"

Itō Yuying appeared out of thin air in Tobirama Senju's office. "You're here!" "Yes, Teacher!"

"Mm-hmm." Tobirama Senju looked at Itō Yuying with satisfaction. "Yuying, here's the thing. I've been studying your training method for Instant Transmission, but there are still a lot of parts I don't understand!" "Tell me, and I'll see if I can answer your questions." The two then began discussing it, and their discussion lasted five or six days. They ate and drank at Tobirama Senju's place the entire time.

During that time, Shimura Danzō also asked some questions about the Energy Wave. He was in the most awkward position now, as he was the only one who had not learned it. Seeing everyone begin learning the Flight Technique made him so anxious that he went several days without eating. He trained late every night, and Hiruzen Sarutobi mocked him both openly and indirectly each time, angering Shimura Danzō so much that he ignored him for several days.

A few more days passed, and Tobirama Senju asked Itō Yuying, "Yuying, how far can you go with your Instant Transmission?" Itō Yuying answered, "I haven't tried it either. Give me a moment to test it." Itō Yuying touched two fingers to his forehead, closed his eyes, and began sensing. Two breaths later, he opened his eyes. "I can sense the locations of every village's Kage and tailed beasts." Tobirama Senju rose excitedly. "That's a distance spanning nations! Good heavens! That's far too powerful."

"Ahem... Yuying! Take me back to Konoha. I'm going into seclusion. It seems I really have neglected my training these past few years. I truly shouldn't have." "All right, Teacher. When do you plan to return?"

"Hmm... let me give a few instructions, and then we'll leave." "All right," Itō Yuying replied!

Then Tobirama Senju began assigning tasks, issuing them one after another. An hour later, he found Itō Yuying. "Let's go back to Konoha." "All right." Tobirama Senju placed a hand on Itō Yuying's shoulder, and with a swish, the two vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already inside the Hokage Building. The moment they emerged, ten Anbu, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu were already preparing to attack. But when they saw that it was Tobirama Senju and Itō Yuying, they quietly relaxed, though they had yet to lower their weapons. Tobirama Senju looked at the situation and nodded in satisfaction. "Mm, good. Very alert." Itō Yuying said, "All right, everyone, relax. It's really us. Besides, this is Space-Time Ninjutsu. Who besides Teacher and me can use it?"

Only after hearing Itō Yuying's words did everyone relax. Suddenly, Mitokado Homura asked in surprise, "Junior brother, did you just say you can also use the Flying Thunder God Technique?" "His Space-Time Ninjutsu is far more powerful than the Flying Thunder God Technique. Yuying just brought me back from the front lines," Tobirama Senju answered for Itō Yuying. "Wh-what... directly from the front lines? That's incredible!" Utatane Koharu exclaimed in surprise. Tobirama Senju was thoroughly pleased after taking in everyone's astonished expressions, as though he were the one who had learned it.

"All right, get back to your work! In a few days, I'll be going into seclusion for a while."

"Yes!" After hearing this, everyone went back to their own work. Yuying said, "Teacher, I'll go home to pick up a few things, then return to the front lines!" "All right. Be careful on your way back."

"All right, Teacher."

Then Itō Yuying slowly floated up and flew home.

A quarter of an hour later, Itō Yuying arrived home. Seeing that the door was not closed, he thought, I should have locked the door when I left! Did a thief get in? He sensed inside and discovered that his grandfather had come to clean for him.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Itō Yuying saw his grandfather wiping the floor. While cleaning, he muttered, "You little brat, you're really heartless! Leaving your grandpa home all alone." Then he heard Itō Yuying call, "Grandpa, I'm back!" Yiteng Yue raised his head, looked at Itō Yuying, and said, "My low blood sugar is acting up again. Why am I hallucinating?" "Grandpa, you're not hallucinating. I just came back from the front lines with Teacher."

"Oh dear... my utterly heartless grandson, leaving without saying goodbye! I might as well die. Nobody cares about me or loves me anyway. Can you really bear to leave a lonely old man at home?" Itō Yuying was speechless. "Isn't Grandma still here?" Yiteng Yue froze for a moment, then promptly lay down on the floor and rolled back and forth. "I can't go on! You've grown up and won't listen anymore! I can't keep you in line!" Itō Yuying immediately gave in and spent an hour coaxing the old man before finally making him laugh.

"Ah... it's good that you're back. Now Grandpa can come see you more often." "Grandpa, I'm going back to the battlefield in a little while. I only came back to get some things." Hearing this, Yiteng Yue was about to drop to the floor and throw another tantrum, but Itō Yuying reacted quickly and stopped him. "All right, Grandpa. I learned a new ninjutsu that lets me come back instantly. It's very convenient." Only after hearing Itō Yuying's words did Yiteng Yue feel a little better.

Then, after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come home for dinner tonight. I-I-I'll make you something delicious." Seeing his grandfather's conflicted expression, Itō Yuying quickly answered, "Okay."

"I'm leaving." Then he left without looking back. After watching his grandfather walk away, Itō Yuying began preparing some things as well. He took plenty of Senzu Bean Soup and several Hoi-Poi Capsules, which were much more convenient than storage scrolls. Then he took a bath and ate something.

He also went to the Senju Clan to pick up some things for Tsunade. Then he visited the Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan, the Hatake Clan, Orochimaru's home, Jiraiya's home, and Might Duy's home to collect things. Looking at the small mountain of belongings, Itō Yuying had reason to suspect they were going on vacation.

That evening, he ate another hearty meal at his grandfather's home, and then he was shut outside the door again. Itō Yuying walked home feeling thoroughly pleased. He picked up the Hoi-Poi Capsules and flew to the Hokage Building to say goodbye to Tobirama Senju, ready to head to the front lines.

When he reached Tobirama Senju's office, Tobirama Senju was still busy handling documents. Without raising his head, he asked, "Is everything ready?" "Yes, Teacher," Itō Yuying answered.

"Mm-hmm, then set off!"

"All right." Itō Yuying touched two fingers to his forehead, preparing to use Instant Transmission to reach the battlefield.

Just then, an Anbu came over and handed Tobirama Senju a secret letter. Tobirama Senju skimmed through it and was about to call Itō Yuying back, but Itō Yuying had already vanished.

"That brat sure runs fast!" Tobirama Senju formed hand seals and summoned a Messenger Hawk. "Go to the Land of Earth front and call Itō Yuying back for me." The Messenger Hawk cried out and flew away. He turned to the Anbu and asked, "What's the situation in the Land of Lightning now?"

"Reporting to Lord Hokage, the Land of Lightning currently has two factions: a pro-peace faction led by Raikage A and a radical faction led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The two factions have been fighting both openly and covertly, and there are signs that a showdown is coming. The radicals, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, are now sending people to harass us at the border. We have already suffered losses and casualties. Lady Senju Ziyu at the front requests supplies and medical support."

"Mm, then pass on my orders. Send another fifty jonin and one hundred chunin, along with medical supplies, ninja tools, and other supplies. Wait for Yuying to come and take you there together. That's all for now. Go make preparations."

"Yes," the Anbu ninja answered respectfully, then withdrew from the Hokage Building.

Tobirama Senju looked at the star-filled sky outside the window and sighed. "War is coming."
