What was I just doing?
How utterly shameless...
When she left the Hokage's office, Samui covered her face and leaned her back against Qiang.
The heavy weight of human hearts rises and falls with each breath.
Was she subtly influenced by Qing Si?
"Sister, are we going to be part of the Dark Guard from now on?"
Atsi waved excitedly when he saw Samui.
Being able to join the Dark Side was something it had been hoping for.
After all, this is an organization that has historically only been open to the elite.
"Ah."
Samui's tone was somewhat indifferent; after what had just happened, she didn't really want to talk.
"When will our masks and clothes be distributed?"
Atzii is more concerned about this issue.
"About a month."
Samui said.
Qing Si gave her a month's rest, the purpose of which was naturally to allow her to recover her former strength and then lead the team to complete the tasks assigned by Qing Si.
This is my first mission in Konoha, and I cannot afford to fail.
……
The next day.
The Reincarnation Festival arrived as scheduled.
In addition to the villagers of Konoha celebrating, tourists from outside the village also gathered on this day.
A short woman with long, flowing brown-red hair carried two strange weapons as she stepped into Konoha.
Under Kiyoshi's policy, anyone who passes the review can enter Konoha.
The wars between the major powers have now ceased, and a peaceful situation has been maintained.
They will naturally have various kinds of interactions and transactions with each other.
Ringo Ameyuri watched the lively scene in Konoha and observed the ever-changing village.
"As expected, it's completely different from the lifeless and gloomy Kirigakure..."
Little Ringo Ameyuri crossed her arms, her pretty face tilted upwards, looking quite dashing.
"That's... the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"
"Is this also allowed to enter Konoha?"
"I heard it was a special approval from the Fourth Hokage..."
There were faint sounds of controversy in the village.
Ringo Amuri ignored these people.
"If you're here to visit the Hokage, please follow us."
Genma Shiranui and Ebisu appeared on the street using the "Body Flicker Technique".
This is also a form of surveillance.
"No problem, take me to him quickly."
Lin Yuyu spoke.
After walking for a while, the group finally arrived at the Hokage Building.
"Long time no see, Ringo Ameyuri."
Kiyoshi, sitting in the Hokage's chair, looked at the newcomer.
"You look almost exactly the same as you did a few years ago."
Ringo Amori looked closely at Seiji and found that Seiji's age seemed to have been frozen in time.
Just like the handsome man I remember.
When Ringo Ameyuri saw the pale purple diamond-shaped mark in the middle of Kiyoshi's forehead, she remembered.
This is... the Yin Seal.
"You're no different."
Kiyoshi looked at the short Ringo Ameyuri; her height hadn't changed at all.
When it speaks, you can see its white shark teeth.
It seems my teeth are just as good as they used to be.
From Kiyoshi's perspective, Ringo Ameyuri is just like a legal loli.
He looks young, but he's actually a bit older than Kiyoshi.
"Lord Hokage, we shall take our leave now."
Genma Shiranui and Ebisu said in unison.
"Go down."
Kiyoshi waved his hand.
People from other villages no longer face the same difficulties coming to Konoha as they used to.
He also gave the list to the ninja on duty, saying that if any of the people on the list came to Konoha, they could bring them directly to him.
For example, Lin Jiao Yuri, No Naiyu, etc.
Ordinary people are fine, but ninjas need to have an entry and exit permit to enter and exit.
"Is Mei Terumi vying for the title of Fifth Mizukage?"
Kiyoshi looked at Terumi Mei.
Mei Terumi becoming the Fifth Mizukage would be beneficial to him, and he could try to push things forward then.
"Yes, she's quite proactive."
Ringo Amori put down her heavy twin swords, walked familiarly to the window, stood on tiptoe, and looked down at the bustling crowd below.
The Reincarnation Festival in Konoha looked much grander than the Reincarnation Festival in Kirigakure, and Ringo Ameyuri could see many people performing.
"I heard that the Raikage of Kumogakure was imprisoned here for several years before returning home."
After watching for a while, Ringo Amuri sat back down on the high chair.
Because of her height, she had to straighten her ankles to touch the ground when she sat down.
When it's not fully extended, it's in a floating state.
Tender, white little feet, swaying back and forth.
"By the way, there's a guy in the village named Kaguya Kimimaro who idolizes you."
Ringo Ameyuri said as if she had just remembered something.
Her tone was full of sighs.
The once-glorious Kaguya clan has lost its mind and betrayed Kirigakure.
Kaguya Kimimaro, who was not involved in the violent suppression by Kirigakure some time ago, survived.
She became the only surviving member of the Kaguya clan.
"Kimimaro, I hope to see him in the Chunin Exams in a few years."
Seiji smiled.
This time, Kimimaro, under his influence, did not recognize Orochimaru.
Based on the current developments, it's very likely that he will come to Konoha along with the ninjas from Kirigakure during one of the Chunin Exams.
"Where is Akatsuki? Are they still active in the Land of Water?"
Qing Si inquired.
The Land of Water is ultimately too far from Konoha, so he couldn't possibly have access to much real-time intelligence.
"I didn't see it," Xiao immediately calmed down.
Lin Yuyu shook his head.
"Yeah."
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
The Akatsuki organization last demonstrated the "Impure World Reincarnation Technique," and their recent period of infiltration will likely result in the emergence of even more powerful individuals through this technique.
Kiyoshi was not worried about this.
Too many miscellaneous fish, still just miscellaneous fish.
Even after being resurrected, Madara Uchiha's strength was not as great as it was in life.
"Why do you keep asking me questions? Aren't you going to offer me tea?"
Ringo Amori was unhappy.
She traveled a long way to get here, but Qing Si treated her like a tool.
"Thirsty?"
Kiyoshi quietly walked towards Ringo Ameyuri.
"I do have some divine water here that can quench your thirst and also enhance your strength."
As they spoke, Kiyoshi began forming hand seals in front of Ringo Ameyuri's surprised gaze.
……
"Xi Yan, what do you think about us buying a house in a more prosperous area?"
Moonlight Gale rested his head on his hands, looking much better than before, even his dark circles had faded.
The medicine given by Qing Si was very effective, and Gekko Hayate felt that he was almost indistinguishable from a normal person.
"It's better to wait."
Uzuki Yugao shook her head.
She turned her head to look at Moonlight Gale, whose eyes were full of hope and longing for the future, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
The reason Moonlight Gale recovered so quickly is because someone was carrying the burden for him.
When she thinks of Kiyoshi, Uzuki Yugao's eyes become inexplicably fixed.
Being a ninja is her profession; in ordinary times, she is just an ordinary person.
Even though Uzuki Yugao tells herself to separate her life from her work, she still recalls how she and Kiyoshi solved problems in a ninja-like way.
"That's true, money is a huge drain on resources."
Moonlight Gale nodded in deep agreement.
If you want to buy a house in a prime location in Konoha, you'll have to start at 10,000 ryo per square meter.
Such high cost necessitates storing them for a very long time.
"Besides, the Hokage has helped us so much, now is not the time to think about those things."
Uzuki Yugao spoke up.
"Indeed it is……"
Thinking of the Hokage who had helped them so much, Hayate Gekko felt very grateful.
If it weren't for Kiyoshi, he would probably be dead by now.
Bloodstain disease, in the past ninja world, regardless of the country, could only be alleviated, not completely cured.
