" The Shuriken, Kunai, and other ninja tools have all been rearranged at home and are still in the storeroom."
"I've only left you two million. If you come back late or have any major expenses, you can go to my room to get it."
"But remember not to spend it recklessly, I'll check when I get back!"
"I left in such a hurry this time that I didn't have time to teach Maki. I don't know how much she has learned."
"I know you don't like rice balls and such, but I'm not home so I can't cook for you. Please try to be patient and not be picky about food. You need to eat your fill."
"If you really can't stand it, then work with her to figure out if you can solve it!"
"■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■?
"■■■■,■■■■■■■■!
"...
"Please be careful when you're on missions. I should be back in a few months."
Looking at the letter in my hand, which was clearly quite long, but almost half of it was covered up by black marks.
And the explanations and arrangements in every word and sentence!
Uka Senju subconsciously bit her lip and fell into a long silence.
About half an hour later, the pain in his mouth woke him up again.
He turned the letter over in his hand.
He then began to examine the position of the black characters on the back of the paper.
a long time.
I pieced together two sentences, half-guessing and half-mistaking. "I wonder how you're doing out there?"
I miss you, I want to see the cherry blossoms with you!
He folded the letter again and put it into the cabinet under the bed that was used for storage.
He picked up the money from the bed and casually placed it on the bedside table.
He pulled the blanket over himself, lay down, closed his eyes, and began to rest.
The entire wooden house fell completely silent as he moved.
All that remained was... his heaving chest.
This proves that he was not asleep at this moment, and his emotions were not as calm and peaceful as they appeared!
at the same time.
When Uka Senju returned home.
South Battlefield.
Senju Chiharu, who had been away on a mission, returned with her team to the center of the South Battlefield Command, Ihyo Castle.
Without waiting for the guards at the door to announce her arrival, she, dressed in Senju Combat Uniform and draped in silver armor, walked straight into the minimalist stone house.
Upon entering, I saw the old man sitting behind his desk.
Senju Chiharu stepped forward, placed the Scroll on the table, took two steps back, bowed, and reported, "Lord Sawagen, the Nagatama matter has been resolved."
"The opposition and those behind the scenes have all been executed!"
After giving her report, she straightened up and instinctively placed her left hand on the long sword at her waist.
Hearing the voice beside him, Sawagen Senju picked up the Scroll on the table and opened it.
Looking at the records inside, I saw the information about the destruction of each Clan and the subsequent handling and cleanup.
He nodded in satisfaction, looked across at the person opposite him, and said with a smile, "Very good, you did a great job on this mission!"
" The Clan should have sent you sooner."
After speaking, he pointed to the chairs placed opposite him, indicating that they should sit down.
Sawagen Senju put away the Scroll and continued, "Your abilities are somewhat wasted on leading a Middle Unit around."
"I plan to assign you to the position of deputy captain of the Sixth Large Unit. The difficulty and nature of your mission will change accordingly!"
Are you willing?
Sitting in a wooden Armchair, I listened to the praise and the new job promotion from across the room.
Senju Chiharu's expression remained unchanged, as if the person opposite her was someone else.
She simply nodded slightly in response to the question, giving her answer.
Deputy Captain of the Sixth Large Unit?
She happened to have information about this team.
Its main members are still from the Soratate Branch, and this Large Unit currently has no captain.
Therefore, in some ways, this vice-captain is no different from the captain.
She had been kicked to the South by her Aunt, which meant she wouldn't be able to see Uka for a while.
To be honest, she was initially unwilling and unhappy.
But after several tasks over the past twenty days, she gradually understood her Aunt's intentions.
Besides hoping to hone her skills and ninja way in the South.
To prevent her from becoming hopelessly immersed in love.
Aunt was also arranging for herself to gradually take over the Soratate Branch so that she could rely on it in the future.
Senju Maki didn't need to do that, because she had her father and brothers by her side, and her grandfather above her.
Tsunade didn't need to do that, because her family was still alive, and her bloodline was genuine, making her claim perfectly legitimate!
But she was very different.
Her origins in the Jiyang Institute meant that she had no blood relatives and had to rely on herself to make a living!
Uka still young these days, and my own age and abilities are just right.
Let's postpone it for a few years, until after we get married.
At that time, I would have to stay in the village for at least three years to have children!
The entire process of raising children has taken almost ten years.
So if we don't take over while the older generation of our Aunt are still in their prime...
Ten years from now, wait for new talent to take over?
Those people will respect their Clan and Uka.
But it's really hard to convince her!
After marriage, both of them could use their own lineage to pave the way for their children and do favors for their Clan.
She can't possibly rely on Uka to relay orders and mobilize the Soratate Branch Tenten, can she?
It's worth noting that the other two's children are also Uka's.
Indeed, she now has a clear preference.
But over time, no matter how far off-center it is...
All things considered, none of them are as strong as what I have!
As for why she was given to her and not Uka?
Knowing her true identity is crucial, even if you gain significant control over her later on.
In fact, it won't affect Uka Senju to rule against the Soratate Branch!
So after guessing her Aunt's true intentions...
She wasn't really bothered by the change in her position.
The person on the other end must have received a message from their Aunt.
Don't boast about how well you completed the task.
Even if the job is only half done, these positions will still end up in someone else's name.
At most, it will just take a little longer and the process will be a little more complicated!
After following the procedure and asking the questions, I observed the other party's attitude.
With a smile, Sawagen Senju took out a pre-written Appointment Letter from beside his desk and handed it over.
After she accepted the assignment, he began to assign Chiharu her tasks. "You have three days to familiarize yourself with, adjust, and organize your belongings and plan your mission."
"I need you to lead the Sixth Large Unit to Akifuku Castle, the border city between the Land of Bears and the Land of Fire, before noon three days from now!"
"Once you complete the handover with the Front Line troops, you will be responsible for the defense of Akifuku Castle and one-third of the border between the two countries."
"Nominally, your superior will then become the head of the Aburame on the True Southern Battlefield."
"But besides that one-third of defense, you will have another important mission."
Feeling a bit thirsty, he picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat, giving the person opposite him time to think.
If you understand, you'll save yourself the trouble of talking.
If you don't understand yourself, you need to explain it to yourself properly!
