To be honest, Didaze wanted to absorb a Kekkei Genkai that could enhance his physical strength.
However, such Kekkei Genkai is not easy to find, and according to Didaze's understanding, it is probably only possible with Steel Release Kekkei Genkai Wood Release.
Steel Release directly enhances physical strength, while Wood Release increases physical strength by strengthening life force.
Between the two, Steel Release is stronger in the early stages, but its growth potential in the later stages is lower than that of Wood Release.
However, both of these Kekkei Genkai are only possessed by people from their own village, and both have extremely good relationships with Didaze.
Therefore, Didaze decided to wait and see.
"Now that the problem is solved, it's time to go back."
Didaze looked up at the sky and saw that it was already dusk.
Didaze stored the Shinigami sculpture in a sealing scroll, and then carried the sealing scroll with him.
Didaze left the back mountain and headed towards the temporary residence assigned to him by Uzumaki Hiko and Nadeshiko Harukawa.
Didaze soon arrived at their temporary residence, but only Uzumaki Hiko was there.
Did she go shopping?
Didaze looked at Uzumaki Hiko with a smile and asked.
"She hasn't come back yet."
Uzumaki Hiko stroked his beard and responded with a smile.
"That little girl was stunned by the bustling atmosphere here when she arrived; she's probably still shopping now."
"Uzumaki Hiko.
"Fine, in that case, come with me to meet the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan."
Didaze hadn't originally intended to take Nadeshiko Harukawa to see Nanako, and even if Nadeshiko Harukawa were still here, he would have had to find an excuse not to let her go.
"Let's go then."
Uzumaki Hiko lowered his hand from his beard, his expression a mixture of excitement and trepidation.
He didn't know what expression to wear when he met this remnant of the Uzumaki Clan.
Didaze summoned a Clay Giant Bird Clay Giant Bird, and the two jumped onto it.
Didaze then started chatting with Uzumaki Hiko on the Clay Giant Bird.
"Let me introduce you. Her name is Nanako Uzumaki, she's fifteen years old, and she's my student!"
Didaze said with a hint of pride.
"You're actually her master? This old man is eternally grateful!"
Upon hearing Didaze's words, Uzumaki Hiko immediately bowed to Didaze.
"There's no need for that. I valued Nanako's talent, which is why I became her mentor. Besides, you are her elder, so there's no need to be so formal."
Didaze quickly helped Uzumaki Hiko up, indicating that the other party didn't need to be so polite to him.
"One thing at a time. If you ever need any help in the future, come to me, and I will certainly not refuse!"
Uzumaki Hiko seemed to have a stubborn streak; instead of being polite, he was even more grateful to Didaze because of Didaze's words.
"It's quite fortunate that the remnant of the Uzumaki Clan could meet you."
After thanking Didaze, Uzumaki Hiko added a comment.
"Not really, it's my good fortune to be her mentor."
Didaze shook his head.
He never felt like he was the one giving charity.
He and Nanako were equals, and he never felt that becoming Nanako's teacher made him Nanako benefactor.
"That's what makes me admire you."
Uzumaki Hiko looked at Didaze with a sigh.
If it were anyone else, even if they didn't directly try to take advantage of his kindness, they would at least say something to him, whether openly or secretly.
But Didaze didn't at all.
Didaze didn't mention a single word from beginning to end, and didn't try to take advantage of the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan to seek repayment for their kindness.
Even if Didaze were to use this Uzumaki Hiko would still agree, but it's clear that Uzumaki Hiko's opinion of Didaze would be significantly worse.
"Arrive."
As they talked, they arrived at Nanako's house.
Nanako's house is next to Ōnoki's house; it's an ordinary little house.
Ōnoki also suggested increasing the size for Nanako, but Nanako refused.
Nanako said she lives alone and feels uncomfortable in a house that's too big.
Knock knock knock!
Didaze knocked directly on Nanako's door.
Who is it?
Nanako's voice came from inside, and then the door opened.
"Brother Didaze!"
Nanako's face showed a hint of panic the moment she saw Didaze.
" Nanako, won't you invite me to your house?"
Didaze said to Nanako with a smile.
"Brother Didaze, please come in!"
Nanako quickly stepped aside to let Didaze in.
Who is this?
Nanako suddenly saw Uzumaki Hiko.
She also sensed an aura that shared the same origin as hers.
"This is one of your clansmen."
Didaze didn't give Uzumaki Hiko a chance to hesitate and directly revealed the other party's identity.
"Huh???"
Nanako's eyes widened instantly!
He knew that the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan existed, but they were all young people.
There weren't any old men there.
She remembered that the oldest person in the first group was only in his twenties, according to what her parents told her.
After all, the person being sent away must be young enough to continue the clan, and those old men obviously do not have the ability to do so.
Even if more than a decade has passed, it's impossible for someone that old to appear now.
"You should have a good talk with him."
Didaze didn't intend to say anything more. If he had said everything, what would Uzumaki Hiko and Nanako talk about?
He exposed the other person's identity simply to prevent the situation from becoming a stalemate.
After all, he could tell that Uzumaki Hiko didn't seem to know how to communicate with Nanako.
Since that's the case, let him pique Nanako's curiosity, and let Nanako ask Uzumaki Hiko.
"This... uh... old sir! Who exactly are you? What is your status in the Land of Whirlpools?"
Nanako and Uzumaki Hiko stared at each other, and finally Nanako couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out a sentence.
"This old man..."
Uzumaki Hiko stroked his beard, seemingly reminiscing about the past.
While the two were chatting, Didaze also entered Nanako's house.
Didaze noticed something as soon as he entered.
chaos.
It's so messy.
It wasn't exactly dirty, just messy.
Things were scattered everywhere, making it look like a complete mess.
But it's not dirty.
"This kid's house is really messy."
Didaze watched Nanako chatting enthusiastically with Uzumaki Hiko, but didn't disturb her. Instead, he started tidying up on his own.
"They really litter everywhere..."
Didaze tidied up all of Nanako's things, and sighed as he looked at the extra items.
He found more than one clothes rack under the table and under the bed.
There are probably seven or eight in total.
I have no idea how the little guy managed to stuff so many hangers inside without even noticing.
