Chapter 283 I'm Too Ashamed to See You

The toad letter returned to Myoboku Mountain. Kushina and Minato ran off somewhere and ate it. Only Genbu was left at home, and it was a rare chance for him to be alone.

After standing in the yard and looking up at the sun through his fingers for a long time, Xuanwu said to himself, "It's time to go see my wife."

He hasn't seen Tsunade-sama for a long time, and it would be a lie to say he didn't miss her.

But after what happened with her aunt, Xuanwu felt ashamed to see Tsunade. It has been one year and seven months since he last went to the Wet Bone Forest. Even if he feels ashamed to go, he has to go because his longing for her is stronger than his fear.

Whenever he thought of Tsunade, this scumbag would feel a little regretful: Why didn't I hold back? You pervert!

Xuanwu bit his fingers and quickly formed seals with both hands.

"The art of spiritualism"

A small slug appeared in front of him.

"Master Xuanwu, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing serious. Please use the reverse summoning technique to call me back to the Wet Bone Forest, Sister Slug. I want to go see Tsunade."

"this..."

The slug hesitated to speak.

Her behavior scared Xuanwu so much that he picked up the little slug and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Tsunade? Is there something wrong with her eyes?"

The slug knew that Xuanwu had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Lady Tsunade is in a stable condition, you don't have to worry."

Xuanwu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, you scared me to death, I thought something happened to Tsunade."

The slug laughed awkwardly and said, "Ahaha, sorry, Master Xuanwu, I was just curious why you haven't been to the Wet Bone Forest for more than a year and a half, so I hesitated just now."

"That's why you said so earlier. I performed an operation on Minato. It was quite difficult and took a year and a half. I just got out today."

The slug let out a long sound, "Oh, is that so? Okay, I'll go back first and send you over in a bit."

Xuanwu was a little confused, "Why does it take a while?"

The slug explained, "You've come so hard to get here, and I can't let Lady Tsunade see you all wet and covered in slime. I'll go give her a bath and change her clothes."

Xuanwu was even more confused. It had never been so formal before. Never mind. It was the slug's good intention after all. He also took this opportunity to take a shower and change his clothes.

"Okay, then you can send me to the psychic in half an hour, how about that?"

"okay."

The slug said and returned to the Wet Bone Forest.

After the slug left, Xuanwu sighed, "Ah, Qian-chan, Daddy is sorry for you."

Half an hour later, Xuanwu lay back on the recliner and disappeared into smoke with a bang.

...

During the year and a half that Xuanwu was renovating the water gate, many major events occurred.

Let’s ignore other countries for now and just talk about the Fire Nation.

The first is our fairy grass. This young woman really has the demeanor of a strong woman. Her subordinates are all completely obedient to her. Sarutobi Sosuke, the handsome man specially sent by the Third Hokage, not only failed to conquer Xiaocao, but was instead fascinated by the fairy grass.

Because she missed Xuanwu too much, she wrote to him almost every week. Xuanwu replied to every letter even in the basement. Xiancao always wanted Xuanwu to come to the capital of the Fire Kingdom, saying that there was a surprise. Unfortunately, Xuanwu was too busy to go. He went to the Wet Bone Forest as soon as he came out. No one knew what the surprise was. She hoped it was not a shock.

Secondly, Utane Koharu died of illness after more than a year. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was even more sad than his mother's death, held an extra-standard funeral for her to express his condolences. This also announced the official end of the era of the four giants joining forces to rule Konoha. Only the tree crown bathed in light and the roots hidden in darkness were left, and the stump connecting the two was completely broken.

The Root was once again completely controlled by Danzo, and at the request of the Third Hokage, its size was doubled. However, only Danzo himself knew how many of these extra people were actually searching for the masked man.

Third, after Hatake Sakumo resigned, the position of Anbu Chief became vacant, and people from all parties wanted to take this position. After nearly a year of consideration, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally chose Kato Dan, an elite jonin who was famous for his family ninjutsu "Spiritual Transformation Technique", to temporarily serve as Anbu Chief.

This decision was unexpected but also reasonable. Kato Dan had been good friends with Sarutobi Shinnosuke since childhood and was considered a staunch supporter of the Hokage lineage.

However, this man's mind is not as innocent as his appearance. You should know that he caught Tsunade's brother who had lost his brother in the original air. Jiraiya was not in the village and took advantage of Tsunade's fragile heart to capture the heart of Her Royal Highness the Princess (although she was shocked after being kissed on the forehead). I don't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for the Third Generation to choose him.

There is also the Uchiha clan. Although the current clan leader Uchiha Setsuna failed in his competition for the position of Anbu chief, thanks to his strenuous efforts, the Anbu gained two more Uchiha members.

Uchiha Setsuna was not surprised at his failure to be selected. Even with Danzo's secret help, he knew with his toes that he, who was identified by the Third Hokage as having connections with Danzo and who had collaborated with the enemy during World War II, would definitely not have a chance. So from the beginning he was aiming to get Uchiha members into the Anbu.

Apart from this matter, Uchiha Setsuna's all attention was on Xuanwu.

Ever since Xuanwu came back, the Uchiha ninjas have never stopped monitoring him. Xuanwu was not surprised by this. He just stayed at home every day anyway, so what could they do to him?

This surveillance has continued for a year and a half, until today.

An Uchiha spy returned to the clan and went straight to Uchiha Setsuna.

After knocking on the door of Setsuna's room, the Uchiha spy knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Master, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina came out of Akimichi Genbu's house one after another, proving that Akimichi Genbu has finished the experiment. In addition, Namikaze Minato's two arms are wrapped in bandages, and it seems that he has been injured."

How did the Uchiha clan know that Xuanwu and Minato were hiding at home and working behind closed doors?

Of course, I sent Uchiha Mikoto to the Xuanwu family to inquire.

Setsuna waved his hand while facing the Uchiha ninja sideways, "Go and gather all ninjas above the Jonin level, and be ready at all times."

"Hi."

Uchiha Setsuna was also speechless, he had always wanted to make trouble for Xuanwu, but never had the chance, because Xuanwu had only been in the village for a short time, and the Uchiha were under the surveillance of the Third Hokage on a daily basis, so it was impossible for him to mobilize the clansmen out of the village on a large scale, so he could only watch helplessly before.

Finally, Xuanwu is back, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is lucky enough to live in his house.

After the Thousand Hands Herb left, Uchiha Setsuna thought the time was ripe, but just as he was getting ready, they launched an experiment that lasted for a year and a half.

So this time when Xuanwu came out, he had to be invited to the Uchiha base no matter what. Uchiha Setsuna had been waiting for too long.

After the ninja left, a man with bandages wrapped around his right hand and right eye walked out from behind the screen. Who else could it be but Danzo?

Danzo sat directly opposite Uchiha Setsuna and said, "Congratulations, you finally got the chance."

Uchiha Setsuna replied, "Although the snake may come out of its hole, if we really want to capture it, we still need the cooperation of Danzo-sama. I don't know when you and your Root will be ready."

Danzo narrowed his eyes, "Anytime."

Didn't he also want to get rid of Xuanwu as soon as possible?
