Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Chapter 173 Returning Home in the Noise

It was midsummer and the atmosphere in Konoha Village was exceptionally lively. Festivals always come quietly in people's anticipation.

The village was decorated with lights and lanterns everywhere, and patrolling ninjas in groups of three or four were discussing the upcoming event.

"Hey, how many students in the village can officially become Chunin this time? When I think of those immature rookies, I can't help but miss the days in school."

"I heard from the jonin in charge of this class that the quality of the students in this class is very good. In the previous class, there was a genius who was good enough to defeat a chunin before he became a ninja, Hyuga Neji."

"Compared to this kind of thing, what about Izumo and Kotetsu?"

"As for them, don't mention them. These two lucky guys have been selected as Chunin invigilators in the Ninja School. They will soon be training rookies. They probably won't be carrying out any missions in the near future."

The Konoha police squad chatted in low voices until the black-robed figure who had been standing at the door for a long time grinned and walked into the Konoha village. Only then did the group of people realize that someone had been eavesdropping for a long time.

"That guy, could it be..."

"Shh, be quiet. The only people who are qualified to enter and leave Konoha freely, besides that person, are the two of the legendary three ninjas."

The sky is blue, the golden morning light dispels the mist, the clouds roll in the sky, and the breeze is gentle.

"It's already this late. Naruto really wasted quite a bit of time there during this year's Chunin Exam."

The Uchiha clan's residence, Huayue's mansion.

After pushing open the door, the first figure that came into view was the one with bright red hair.

"Mr. Huayue, you are back."

"Ah, I accidentally spent some extra time there. They should have started their mission. Who is the jonin?"

Her body temperature gradually rose, and Karin's mother, with a gentle face, lowered her head and endured it silently, introducing in a soft voice.

"Karin and Shiro's jonin is Gekko Hayate, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto's is Hatake Kakashi, and I heard that Ms. Kurenai will also be the jonin..."

Her smile became more and more obvious. She had stayed in that dark place for more than a year and almost suffocated herself. After whispering in Karin's mother's ear, Huayue turned and walked towards the bathhouse in the mansion.

Yes, in fact, when this mansion was built, entertainment methods for people to relax were also considered, but entertainment in this era is really too scarce.

This also meant that, apart from the bathhouse, only the calligraphy room satisfied Huayue.

The warm water flowed over her body, dispelling the fatigue from the journey. Between her jade-like fingers, Huayue kept playing with a piece of strange metal, lowering her head in deep thought.

In the blind spot of vision, a long snake that blends in with the surrounding environment is crawling and unknowingly leaning towards the figure that seems to be half asleep.

"Successful!"

"Water Escape·Water Prison Technique."

The warm water flowed together, forming a huge spherical water prison, which imprisoned the python that tried to launch a sneak attack and the graceful figure with loose hair.

"Why are you here in broad daylight instead of going on a mission?"

The water flow in the water dungeon washed away the bath towel, resembling the slender and soft waist of a water snake.

"Tsk, have you lost your mind after not coming back for over a year? Now it's the eve of the Chunin Exams, and Red Bean-sama, I was very lucky to have been chosen as the invigilator. Aren't you envious? Wahahahaha..."

Hongdou subconsciously pinched her waist and laughed, and after choking on water several times, she realized that she seemed to still be in the water prison.

Snapped!

Warm water flowed into the bathtub, along with Red Bean. Huayue waved her hand nonchalantly and kept speaking perfunctorily.

"Oh, yes, yes, that's so enviable. If you have nothing else, please leave. I need to relax and release my fatigue later."

"You guy, we haven't seen each other for over a year, and all you want to say to me is perfunctory?!"

Veins popped out on his forehead, the corners of Hongdou's mouth twitched, and long snakes quietly coiled around each other.

Suddenly, the scene changed and Hongdou felt the python wrapped around her body. Her expression changed and she couldn't help gritting her teeth.

"Illusion, you bastard..."

"So what do you want me to tell you? Why don't we talk about how to revitalize the Uchiha clan? I personally think that an obedient bloodline is more important than reputation, otherwise..."

She felt someone gently rubbing her belly with the index finger. Hongdou let out a smile that was uglier than crying and begged for mercy quickly.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I don't want to give up my ninja career yet. I don't want to live a life of raising children alone. At least I need to wear a..."

With a creak, the bathroom door was opened again, and Karin's mother covered her mouth in surprise.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I'll take my leave for now..."

"No, you came just in time!"

A breeze swept past, and the world spun around, and the bathroom door closed quietly.

...........

At noon, Huayue, who had a good sleep, opened her eyes and heard Hongdou beside her ask in a low voice.

"Where have you been for the past year or so? You didn't respond to the messages I sent you. I thought you had discovered a gold mine and were busy mining it, and had no time to pay attention to me."

Hongdou complained in a low voice, but unexpectedly Huayue nodded calmly.

"Yes, I have indeed found a mountain of gold, an inexhaustible mountain of gold."

After hearing this, even Hongdou couldn't help but get excited. If she really found the gold mountain, wouldn't she be able to taste endless desserts in her lifetime? !

"Hey, hey, hey, where is that golden mountain? Don't keep me in suspense at this time. At worst, I can take the initiative later. Tell me now!"

Her eyes moved, her black and white pupils full of smiles, and when she saw Hongdou's irritable expression, she only heard Huayue whispering in her ear.

"Kaguya Castle..."

"Kaguya Castle? Where is that?"

................

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

The three-person team sent by the Sand Village to take part in the Chunin Exam is now passing the gate guard's inspection and officially entering the Konoha Village.

Looking around, Kankuro couldn't help but feel envious at everything he saw in Konoha Village.

"What a peaceful village, and those fertile lands, so rich."

"Yes, if Sunagakure had such fertile land, there would be no need..."

Maki shook his head helplessly, then turned around and gave instructions to a few people.

"Remember, don't cause trouble in Konoha Village now. Temari, Kankuro, you two keep an eye on Gaara and don't let him kill people wantonly. Do you understand?"

After giving some instructions, Maki hurriedly walked towards the reception members of Sunagakure in Konoha Village. The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Watch out Gaara. If that brat can hear my brother speak a complete sentence, I'm going to suspect that the puppet ancestor has crawled out of the cemetery and handed me the method for making Chikamatsu Juninbei that he took with him to the grave after his death."

"Alright, alright, stop complaining. Let's try to get some information from fellow ninjas. Now we're going."
