Chapter 606 The Conversation Between Father and Son, and the Lonely Old Man Matt Day

“Dad, Uncle Nagato has been in charge of the Tenkage for over twenty years. He has asked me several times if he could retire, but I have refused each time, saying that you haven’t come back yet…”

Inside the Shadow Mansion villa, Liu Yun and his son sat on the sofa, drinking tea and discussing some business matters.

As the Heavenly Shadow, whether it is the successor or the abdication, both must obtain the approval of the Dark Shadow. Although both are Shadows, the Heavenly Shadow seems to have more power on the surface, but in reality, the Dark Shadow is still the one in charge!

"Oh? He wants to abdicate? Does he have a recommended candidate?" Liu Yun asked casually while sipping his exotic spiritual tea.

"He recommended Sasuke, after all, among the younger generation, only Sasuke is qualified to be the Third Ame-kage..." Uchiha Junlin replied earnestly.

Sasuke is a member of the expeditionary force and is about to become the son-in-law of Ryuun. Both his strength and status are more than enough to convince the public.

"What did Sasuke himself say? Did you ask him?"

"There definitely is... but Sasuke doesn't seem very interested. He said he'll decide after you come back from Shinjuku..."

As he spoke, Uchiha Junlin refilled Liu Yun's cup with tea.

"Not interested...?"

Liu Yun nodded, but didn't say anything more about the matter of the future third-generation Heavenly Shadow.

"How well have Tianyin Village and Tianzhi Kingdom managed the world these past few years? Have they been doing their best to fulfill their responsibilities?" Liuyun asked another question.

"It's alright. The vast majority of countries recognize the Land of Heaven. The world's population is steadily increasing every year, and the rule of the Hidden Heaven Village remains solid. Although rebels who are unwilling to accept the status quo emerge every few years, the Hidden Heaven Village has always been able to forcefully suppress them..."

Uchiha Junlin explained the general situation.

"Six years ago, some internal factionalism and infighting arose within Tenhitaku Village... One side consisted of the native forces of the former Sound Village, while the other side was composed of immigrant forces led by the former Four Great Hidden Villages..."

"Oh? So how did Nagato solve the problem?"

Hearing his son talk about these things, Liu Yun became interested. At this time, his clone was still there, but he had been staying in his room for many years and had never come out, so he was unaware of these things.

Moreover, he didn't consider such things a big deal, so Nagato wouldn't bother Ryuun with such matters, even if there was only a clone in the room.

"Back then, Uncle Nagato entrusted this matter to me... He said I could do whatever I wanted..."

Uchiha Junrin had only recently succeeded as the Second Dark Shadow.

"Oh...now that you mention it, I do remember..."

Back then, because of this incident, Uchiha Junlin often went to Liuyun's room for help from his father. For this, Liuyun even scolded his son. His exact words were:

"You're always so timid and hesitant, and you always bother me with the smallest troubles. You're Shadow, so if you think you're right, then go for it. If you can't do it, then kill. Whoever starts trouble, kill them. The reason Sky Shadow can't handle the problem is because it has concerns. It's a stubborn problem that Shadow has to step in to solve, so we need to start surgery immediately!"

Liu Yun's reprimand years ago awakened Junlin, and soon after, this young second-generation Shadow showed the world his brilliance.

Many of the elites from Tenkaku Village who participated in the internal strife were killed. Both factions were involved, and more than 3,000 people were expelled from Tenkaku Village. Among them were many former villagers from Otogakure Village, as well as a large number of immigrant ninjas. Some people from the former Konoha Village were also included, and even many members of the Uchiha clan suffered...

The second-generation Shadow wiped out all the scourges in one fell swoop, and human relationships were completely useless in front of him. Back then, many people ran to the Shadow Mansion to kneel and beg for mercy, but it was to no avail. He used a single act of "flipping the table" to show everyone who this "family" really belonged to!

The father and son, Liu Yun, chatted happily at the tea table. Liu Yun asked many questions about his time as the second Shadow, while Jun Lin was more interested in the expeditionary force's campaign against the Otsutsuki clan.

Although he had already asked his sister for everything he could know, Uchiha Junlin still wanted to know more, especially about how Ryuun defeated those supreme experts of the Divine Realm!

"Dad will tell you slowly later. Let's go for a walk outside first..."

After drinking the tea in his cup, Liu Yun got up and stretched.

"Go out for a walk? Where to?" Junlin asked, puzzled, but he got up as well.

"You'll see when you come with me..."

Liu Yun smiled and put her arm around his shoulder, and the two walked straight out of the house.

It was extremely rare for two Shadows to appear on the street at the same time. The father and son attracted a lot of villagers' exclamations and support as soon as they stepped onto the street, and even Nagato, the second-generation Tenkage, was alarmed.

Liu Yun took his son straight to Might Guy's house. Many passersby wanted to follow the two Shadows to see what was going on, but fortunately, an elite ninja appeared and persuaded them to leave, thus preventing a crowd from getting congested.

"Lord Shadow, you're finally back!"

Nagato quickly appeared in front of the two. He was quite excited when he saw Ryuun. The fact that his own Shadow had returned safely meant that the enemy from beyond the heavens had most likely been completely eliminated!

"Long time no see, Nagato-kun!" Ryuun greeted him with a smile.

"It has indeed been a long time. You should be in your original form now, right?"

"It's the real body; it just got back today."

The three of them chatted for a while at the crossroads before heading to Matt Day's house together.

Matt Day's house is a three-story building with a considerable area, indicating that the family is very well-off. However, the house is quite deserted, and now only an elderly woman living alone lives there...

Might Guy is now nearly seventy years old, which is considered extremely old among body-training ninjas who generally have short lifespans!

"Why is my older brother's house so quiet? There's not a single person there?" Liu Yun asked subconsciously, frowning.

“Brother Dai’s wife passed away two years ago. He is a rather independent person and has dismissed several other servants several times. Now there is only one nanny taking care of his daily life. He only agreed to stay after we strongly urged him to... The nanny may have gone out to run other errands..." Changmen hurriedly explained.

The Hidden Village has always been dedicated to caring for and treating the families of the expeditionary force members. Nagato dared not ignore or mistreat Old Dai's family, but Old Dai had his own ideas, so Nagato could only let him have his way...

"My sister-in-law has passed away... It's so sad that she couldn't hold on until Akai was resurrected..." Liu Yun murmured, a hint of sadness on his face.

"Big brother..."

A moment later, Liu Yun saw Old Dai in a room, his foot bandaged, lying in bed recovering from his injury...

Even in his old age, this man loved exercise and constant activity. His bones were so brittle that they would snap if he overdid it. The medical ninjas from Tenhikage had come to set his bones and treat his injuries countless times... Ryuun had heard about this... but even he couldn't dissuade Old Dai...

"Hmm... Liu Yun? You... you're back!"

Old Dai was unusually excited to see Liu Yun. He instinctively tried to get up, but before he could move, Liu Yun teleported to his side and pressed him down.

"Brother, how did you hurt yourself like this again..." Liu Yun smiled helplessly, and then used the power of Yang Escape to heal his injured leg.

"Haha! I'm getting old, my bones are too brittle, they'll break at the slightest touch, I've caused you all so much worry..."
