Tian Zhiyun has finally returned home. As soon as the news spread, the Ten Family immediately issued a gathering order. The entire Ten Family was busy, and everyone rushed back to the villa on the top of the Ten Family's Divine Weapon Pavilion. The family sat around in the living room, the atmosphere both solemn and warm, as they discussed important events in the Shinobi World.
Once everyone had arrived, Dō Senju stood up, looked around at the room full of people, her eyes slightly moist, and her voice trembling with emotion. "When Konoha was first established, the entire Ten Family only had three men. Look, now there are thirteen in the living room! Our Ten Family is beginning to prosper, which should be a joyous occasion. But..." Her voice trembled slightly, "Three years have passed, and there's still no trace of Tsubasa. We've searched the Shinobi World, but we still haven't found him. The only good news is that Tian Mai from the fifth branch brought back a message: the Great Toad Sage prophesied that Tsubasa would return to Konoha in two years."
Dō Senju paused, then continued, "The situation in the Shinobi World is becoming increasingly complex. The Second Hokage has regained power in Konoha. They were ousted by Tsubasa back then, and now Konoha has become a hotbed of conflict, which is detrimental to the growth of our Tenpei and Tentoku. Therefore, our eldest son's family has decided to reside at the Moon Goddess Palace on the moon. We will return in two years to verify the prophecy and see if Tsubasa has indeed returned to Konoha."
Upon hearing this, Gi Senju said somewhat sadly, "Sister-in-law, are you really going to go to such a faraway place as the moon? Why don't you come with me to Ryūchi Cave!"
Dō Senju smiled and comforted her, "No need, Sister Yi. Muyan built the Moon Goddess Palace on the moon, and the children have been cultivating in another dimension for a hundred years. Now they all have the mindset of adults and their own paths to walk. I am also 55 years old, and I want to spend the rest of my life with Tenpei and Tentoku. There is a Giant Tenseigan on the moon that can help them better develop their Byakugan, which is also a good opportunity."
Tian Muyan smiled and said, "Mother, there's no need to be sad. We can return to the Shinobi World anytime. It's just that training opportunities on the moon are rare. We can come down and reunite in two years. By then, I truly hope Tsubasa can return home safely."
Kusu Senju sighed and said, "Our third branch will go to live in the capital of the Land of Fire. In our old age, we enjoy spending time with our children; our greatest joy is watching them grow up. Flying Swallow has so many national affairs to handle every day, so I'll take care of Tenbutsu and Tenkō."
Tian Flying Swallow held Kusu Senju's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Mom, I can only feel at ease if you go and look after the children. The nobles of the Land of Fire are very resentful right now. They can't deal with me, but I'm afraid they'll target Butsu and Kō."
Ame Senju also spoke up, "Our fifth branch will move to the Mount Myōboku Limitless Sect. The Spiritual Qi there is naturally abundant, which is beneficial for Tenpi and Ten'u's Immortal Cultivation. We hope they can cultivate well there and become as powerful as Tsubasa in the future."
In Senju continued, "Since Yukihime has become the Mizukage, the children can't always be separated from their mother. So, our sixth branch plans to settle in Kirigakure and expand our Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Tower Kirigakure business there as well. That way, the whole family can be reunited."
Holding the hands of Senju Ga and Kaidō Senju, Dō Senju said earnestly, "You four and seven branches, guard your home in Konoha. When Tsubasa returns, inform us immediately."
With tears streaming down her face and her voice trembling with sobs, Senju Ga said, "Why do we have to separate? I really can't bear to part with these children. I've watched them grow up day by Tenten. They're so young, and we have to separate like this. I really can't bear it."
Tian Flying Swallow quickly comforted her, "Mother, don't be sad. Once Tsubasa returns, we'll all be reunited. This is just a temporary separation."
Kaidō Senju also said, "I will also leave Konoha. Yueqing plans to stay in Shikkotsu Forest; Tian Yu especially likes it there. Moreover, it's where Tsubasa disappeared, and living there feels like being closest to Ame -Tsubasa."
Tian Yueqing smiled and said, "I've often wandered around Shikkotsu Forest these past few years, and I always felt that Tsubasa was waiting for me there. So I plan to settle down there. But don't worry, Flying Swallow, I'll take care of things at the Kage Academy. More and more students are graduating these days, and it's not as mysterious as it used to be. Besides, with the teleportation array to Shikkotsu Forest left by my husband, I'll return to Konoha every ten days to be specifically responsible for opening and closing the portal to another dimension."
Upon hearing this, Tian Uguisu said enviously, "I really envy that you have a teleportation array in Shikkotsu Forest. You can train in Shikkotsu Forest just like you would in Konoha, and you can come and go at any time. We at Ryūchi Cave should also build one. Sister Yueqing, do you know how to build a teleportation array?"
Tian Yueqing shook her head and said, "I really don't know how. Only my husband knows it right now. But I believe Konoha will be able to research it in the future. After all, Konoha is not lacking in geniuses. Orochimaru from Ryūchi Cave has even researched the art of immortality. He has a terrifying talent. Mothers can learn it when they have free time."
At this moment Senju Tenpuku spoke up, "Young people these days are really strong, you can't argue with that. Tenmei, you're now the commander of the Azure Dragon Corps, you must be careful of the Land of Lightning! We've been investigating in the Land of Lightning for over a year, and although we haven't found Tsubasa's whereabouts, the Lightning Release Chakra Cannon of the Land of Lightning are truly powerful, and that Island Turtle is also terrifying."
Tenmei nodded, his tone firm, and said, "Father, rest assured. The nobles of the Land of Lightning, allying with other countries to oppose our Land of Fire, are courting death. If they dare to start a war, I am confident I can annihilate them. We will make full preparations and await their attack."
Senju Tenpuku nodded, but a trace of worry remained in his eyes. "I know the strength of the Azure Dragon Corps, but I still feel a little uneasy. After all, your elder brother's matter forces us to be on guard. There are still many mysterious forces in this world, such as the Moryo of the Land of Demons and the Jashin of the Land of Hot Water."
Tian Uguisu said angrily, "That Moryo is a rat in the shadows, hiding very well. I'll catch it and wipe it out sooner or later!"
Tian Flying Swallow sighed and said, "Our Land of Fire also has three such mysterious powers. The entrance to a Buddhist kingdom is sealed beneath the Fire Temple. A demonic beast is sealed at the Onmyoji's place. And an ancient great Kagura."
Tian Yueqing added, "There's also a Death God in the Land of Whirlpools. Everyone should be on the safe side."
The living room fell silent as everyone fell into deep thought. Dō Senju looked at them, her eyes welling up with tears again. She said softly, "No matter what, our Ten Family must unite. Tsubasa will definitely return; we must wait for him. Everyone, take care. We'll reunite in two years."
The family hugged each other tightly, tears welling up in their eyes. They knew the road Mirai would be difficult, but as long as the family was united, there was nothing they couldn't overcome.
