Chapter 181 The Feeling of Homecoming

As the third Hokage, Hiruzaru Sarutobi is very respected in Konoha Village. After seeing him, everyone in the store bowed their heads to him.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen also smiled back one by one, and then toasted with Shi Lei.

After drinking a glass of wine, Shi Lei put the grilled meat into Naruto's bowl, and smiled at Hiruzaru Sarutobi:

"I haven't seen you in ten years, but the three generations of Hokage still have the same demeanor, and they are still so respected."

"Haha, the prize is over."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled modestly, spread the meat in front of him on the baking tray, and asked Shi Lei, "When do you plan to leave?"

"Tsk...tomorrow!"

Shi Lei picked up the wine and took a sip, then smacked his lips, and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Go back home first, and settle the matter over there. After all, it's the place where I grew up. I can't bear to ignore it."

"That's right!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, "Then when will you come back?"

Hearing his question, Naruto also raised his head to look at Shi Lei, with a nervous look in his eyes, obviously he was also very concerned about this issue.

Seeing him like this, Shi Lei smiled immediately, then reached out and rubbed his head.

"It will take at least a month or two. The store I opened there is quite big, and I have to deal with a lot of things!"

Having said that, he raised his cup and touched Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"The family is big and the business is big, and there are many things that can't be done. Some things can't be solved with a fist. This Hokage-sama should be able to understand."

"indeed so!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip, then looked at Shi Lei with a smile on his lips.

"I haven't seen you for ten years. You are much more stable than before. There is one thing I am curious about. What did you say to the patriarch before you left ten years ago? Can you tell me?"

"The patriarch?"

Hearing Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words, Shi Lei knew at the first thought that he should be asking Fugaku Uchiha, so he nodded with a smile.

"Of course, it's all up to now anyway, so there's nothing wrong with it. I told him to learn from the rich family next door and not to think about what he shouldn't have, but it's a pity that he didn't listen to me!"

"Yeah, what a pity!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi also nodded helplessly, then raised the cup towards Shi Lei again.

"Come on, let's have another drink. In the future, I hope to sit here and drink again like today."

"Yes, please!"

"Please!"

……

The time to drink up came soon, and after saying goodbye to Naruto and Sarutobi Hiruza, Shi Lei and Chiyo left together.

Seeing Naruto's reluctance to part with him, Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help laughing.

"Naruto, you seem to like Shi Lei very much, right?"

"Ok!"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, Naruto nodded immediately and grinned at him at the same time.

"Because he looks at me with the same eyes as your three-generation grandpa!"

"Looks like mine?"

Hearing Naruto's words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately understood.

Because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion ten years ago, Muye Village paid a lot of sacrifices, and many ninjas and villagers died in this turmoil.

So for Kyuubi, the villagers of Konoha have fear and hatred, and Naruto, as Kyuubi Jinchuriki, will inevitably be "hated by the villagers".

The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the villagers' disgust and hatred, after being conveyed from the eyes, are naturally felt by Naruto.

This is also where Sarutobi Hiruzen felt helpless.

Although he can forbid the villagers to say "Naruto is Kyuubi", but he can't force the villagers to love Naruto.

In order to protect Naruto, and at the same time to protect the precious Renzhuriki of the village, he must conceal Naruto's true identity.

The result of this is that Naruto is disgusted, isolated, and alienated, and grows up alone.

In this regard, Hiruza Sarutobi can only take an attitude of letting it go, at most, let the teachers of the ninja school pay more attention to Naruto.

Just like what Shi Lei said at the dinner table before - the family is big and the business is big, and there are many things that can't be done.

Recalling all kinds of things about Shi Lei, Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is really lucky that Sha Yin Village can produce such a character as Shi Lei.

"If he can become Kazekage, then the relationship between Konoha Village and Hidden Sand Village may also be greatly improved, right?"

Thinking of this, he smiled at Naruto.

"Naruto, if you like Shi Lei, you can go find him when he comes back next time, but you have to remember one thing!"

Having said that, Sarutobi Hiruzani Hiruzani's complexion suddenly became serious.

"Don't treat girls the way he taught you, absolutely not!"

Naruto: "╭(°A°`)╮"

……

Shi Lei obviously didn't know what Sarutobi Hiruza taught Naruto, after leaving Barbecue Q, he went back to rest with Chiyo.

It was not until the next morning that he came to Hokage's office again and took away 60% of his income from Konoha South Street for the past ten years.

Then he summoned the giant-winged dragonfly, and set off for Sand Hidden Village with Chiyo.

Although ten years have passed, the speed of the giant winged dragonfly has not decreased in the slightest, on the contrary, it has been a little faster.

It took only three days for Shi Lei and Chiyo to reach Hidden Sand Village on it.

Originally Shi Lei planned to fly directly into the village, but was opposed by Chiyo, and in the end he had to let the giant winged dragonfly land at the entrance of Yixiantian.

At this time, the guards of Yixiantian also saw Shi Lei and Qiandai descending from the sky, and immediately cheered.

"That is Lord Shi Lei's psychic beast, Lord Shi Lei is back!"

"There is also Chiyo-sama... Chiyo-sama is back!"

"Great, go tell Kazekage-sama!"

Looking at the excited guards, a smile appeared on Chiyo's face.

"Look, lizard, they all remember you!"

"No, they just remember my psychic beast!"

Shi Lei shook his head, then spread his hands.

"Now that I look like this, they will definitely not recognize me!"

"Hehe...that's hard to say!"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Chiyo suddenly smiled, and took his hand.

"Let's go, let the mother-in-law take Xiao Lili home today!"

Shi Lei was keenly aware of the change in Chiyo's language, so he also nodded with a smile: "Good mother-in-law!"

Hearing him call herself "mother-in-law" instead of teacher, the smile on Chiyo's face became brighter, and she took his hand and walked towards Yixiantian.

Seeing this scene, the guards of Shayin Village who came over all showed surprise.

"Who is that man that Chiyo-sama is pulling?"

"Long red hair...it came down from the giant winged dragonfly again, could it be...Master Shi Lei?"

"That's right, it must be Master Shi Lei. I haven't seen you in ten years. Master Shi Lei has grown up so much, and he has become handsome!"

"That's right, hahahaha..."

Hearing the discussions of the surrounding ninjas, the corners of Shi Lei's mouth turned up again, and then he turned around and shouted at the sand ninjas.

"Those who said I'm handsome, their salary will be doubled this month, tell Mr. Hai that I, Shi Lei, said it!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing his words, dozens of guards in Yixiantian laughed and shouted while laughing.

"Did you hear that, calling Master Shi Lei handsome is doubled this month's salary, everyone don't hurry up?"

"That's right, I want to shout too—Master Shi Lei is the most handsome, and Master Shi Lei is the most handsome man in Hidden Sand Village!"

"Master Shi Lei is the most handsome man in the Land of Winds!"

"No, Master Shi Lei is the most handsome man in the ninja world!"

"..."

Hearing the shout from behind, Shi Lei showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"~(￣▽￣)~ This is just like the words, this is the feeling of going home. Everyone in Shayin Village is talented, and they speak nicely. I like this place so much!"

Chiyo: "..."

　Shi Lei: "Thanks to the shadow-level powerhouse [Binzai 666] for the reward of [-] coins, I, the Flame Lizard, would like to call you the most handsome in Hidden Sand Village!"
