Chapter 225: Ten Thousand Chapters of Mount Myōboku
Outside the gate of Mount Myoboku.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist of the verdant peaks, and the ancient charm of the sacred mountain, dozens of modern high-rise buildings stand scattered about.
Ancient charm blends with the mundane world, creating a unique and wondrous scene.
"It's so similar...like the city from my past life..."
Standing with his hands behind his back before the mountain gate, looking at Mount Myoboku, which he had not seen for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.
"I have been living among people since the chaotic era, and have long been a member of the Uchiha clan. Later, I personally founded Konoha, took over the position of Hokage, and in my later years, I lived in seclusion in the village running a ramen shop."
"If I think about it carefully, it's been hundreds of years since I last set foot on Mount Myōboku..."
Wanci slowly closed his eyes, put his hands behind his back and pondered, letting the past years surge and settle in his heart.
A moment later, he slowly stepped into the territory of Mount Myoboku.
Today, Mount Myoboku is a peaceful place where the White Zetsu and the Toad Clan live in harmony and coexist peacefully.
The Hyuga clan and the Otsutsuki clan, who migrated from the moon, also settled here. All the beings of different races put aside their differences, lived together peacefully without discrimination or conflict, and it was like a modern-day utopia.
Walking along the ancient Immortal Avenue, the White Zetsu and the Toad caught a glimpse of Wan Ci's figure. They were both startled at first, then their eyes widened in surprise and awe.
"That...that's a great immortal?!"
"Oh my god! The great immortal is back!"
"Quickly inform Master Gamamaru that the Great Sage has returned to the mountain!"
In the blink of an eye, countless toads and white monsters gathered around the Immortal Path, forming a dense, impenetrable barrier.
Amidst the sea of people, all bowed and knelt in worship, their voices echoing through the mountain mists.
"Welcome back to the mountain, Great Immortal!"
"Welcome back, immortal!"
"Welcome back, immortal!"
All eyes were drawn to Wan Ci, some with curiosity, some with astonishment, and some with heartfelt admiration.
Many young creatures have never seen this legendary power in person, but have only seen his image in portraits passed down through generations.
Upon hearing the news, Gamamaru, who was in charge of all affairs at Mount Myōboku, rushed over. Black Zetsu, Fukasaku, and Shima also appeared to greet him.
Upon seeing it ten thousand times, Gamamaru was immediately moved to tears.
The older I get, the more I cherish the past. Seeing my teacher again now, I can hardly contain my emotions.
It strode forward with its massive body, bent down, and gently embraced Wanci.
Wanci's pupils contracted slightly, then softened, and he raised his hand to gently pat Gamamaru's back.
"It's only been a few hundred years since we last met, yet you still miss this old man so much?"
Wanci asked softly, a gentle smile on his face.
Gamamaru raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, his voice full of sincerity: "I miss you, I miss you all the time."
Just then, Manji suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked down at Fukasaku and Shima.
The two were leading a naive and innocent little toad.
"Oh? This must be Bunta."
Wan Ci smiled as he looked at the little toad and revealed its name in one sentence.
"The great immortal is amazing."
Fukasaku and Shima were both startled. As expected of the great immortal, he recognized their youngest son with just one glance.
"Wenta, quickly bow and greet the Great Immortal."
Fukasaku quickly gave him a soft, gentle instruction.
Little Wen Tai stepped forward obediently, bowed respectfully, and said in a childish yet steady voice, "Greetings, Great Immortal. I am Wen Tai, and I wish you a long and prosperous life, as long as the heavens."
"well."
Manci gently stroked Bunta's little head.
...........
Deep within Mount Myoboku, at the peak of longevity.
Kaguya sat upright in front of the mirror, her fingertips holding a lipstick, her movements carrying a rare hint of panic as she hurriedly traced the shape of her lips. Her heart was filled with the joy of their impending reunion, yet also with an unconcealable sense of unease.
"That guy, Wanci, didn't even tell me he was coming back..."
She muttered softly.
Uchiha Hikaru, who was standing to the side, watched all of this and couldn't help but chuckle helplessly. He said softly, "Kaguya-neechan, you are already stunningly beautiful. You don't need to make any effort to adorn yourself. Even if you go out without makeup, the Great Sage will still think you are at your most beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Kaguya paused slightly in her movements. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she gave a faint smile, but a hint of unease flickered in her eyes.
"Of course I know..."
But after so many years, and seeing her again after thousands of years, even she, who had lived through a thousand years, felt an inexplicable nervousness surging in her heart, and she lost her former composure.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say when we met, so I could only use makeup to secretly hide my helplessness.
Just then, a soft knock on the door gently broke the quiet unease within the hall.
Uchiha Hikaru quickly got up to open the door, and the moment the wooden door opened slightly, a tall and straight figure came into view.
Wan Ci stood amidst the wisps of celestial mist, dressed in a black and red robe. Time seemed to have left no trace on him; he remained the same handsome and dazzling young man he had been back then.
It was that familiar instantaneous movement through the celestial mist.
Again, he wore a black and red robe.
And there it was again—that familiar, peerless face.
Uchiha Hikaru was slightly taken aback, then quickly came to his senses and immediately bowed with a smile, saying, "It's been a long time, Sage!"
"Light, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Wan Ci spoke in a gentle tone, tinged with a touch of emotion.
The little girl Uchiha Hikari from before has now grown into a mature and tall woman.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries
Wanci glanced around slightly and asked directly, "Where's Kaguya?"
Uchiha Hikaru covered her mouth and chuckled, pointing into the room with a teasing tone: "Kaguya-neechan heard you were back and sat in front of the mirror putting on makeup early this morning, and has been busy until now."
"Oh? After knowing each other for so many years, you still bother to dress up?"
Wanci raised an eyebrow slightly and looked into the room.
As soon as she finished speaking, Kaguya walked out of the house with unfinished makeup, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her steps a little hesitant.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the hem of her dress, and said softly, "You... it's been a long time."
Seeing her flustered appearance, Manji was slightly taken aback before saying, "Kaguya, why are you talking so strangely?"
Kaguya blushed slightly, perhaps because it had been so long since she had seen her.
Wanci didn't pursue the matter further. He had come here to exchange pleasantries, and he was going to visit the Pure Land later.
"What have you all been doing all these years?"
Asked the question ten thousand times.
"Scrolling through Douyin, watching dramas, reading your novels, and enjoying delicious food."
Kaguya said.
Uchiha Hikaru smiled and nodded: "Great Sage, the technology of Mount Myōboku has too much influence."
Wan Ci nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, "It's perfect timing to have a meal together. I'll cook myself."
Kaguya and Uchiha Hikaru's eyes lit up, their faces full of anticipation.
"Really? Wanci, you cook yourself? That's quite rare for me."
Kaguya's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Heh heh, I'm a renowned chef in Konoha Village..."
Wan smiled slightly and walked towards the kitchen.
He skillfully tied on his apron and began to busy himself in the kitchen.
Kaguya and Uchiha Hikaru followed behind curiously, occasionally helping to pass them seasonings or wash vegetables.
