Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 49
Under the moonlight, Lan, Zhujian, and Maitreya who got off the carriage were walking quickly in the palace.

When the warriors guarding the palace saw Maitreya, they bowed and saluted. They would not straighten up and continue to guard until Maitreya passed by.

Before they reached the steps, Lan saw Nanako waiting for them outside the door, holding Kaorin and Shion.

Xiang Lin, who was holding Nanako's hand, saw Lan, immediately let go of her hand and ran towards Lan.

And Shion also let go of Nanako's hand, but the object of her running was her mother.

The two little girls ran down the jade steps at high speed, shouting to the people waiting for them while running.

"Brother (mother)—"

Hearing Xianglin calling him, Lan couldn't help showing a smile on his face, lifted up the chakra and flashed down the jade steps in an instant, then hugged Xianglin who opened his arms.

Ziyuan, who was at the same speed as Xianglin, pursed her lips and hummed softly when she saw Xianglin being picked up by Lan, and then she stepped on the ground and ran into Mitreya's arms.

Maitreya gently hugged Ziyuan, took her little hand and said with a smile to her, "Are you waiting for mother?"

"Yeah." Ziyuan nodded her head heavily, and said, "I had a premonition that you were coming back, so I ran out."

"Is that so~, that Ziyuan is awesome."

Mitreya knelt down and rubbed Ziyuan's head, then took her by the hand and walked up the steps.

Walking outside the hall, Maitreya smiled and said to Lan who was holding Xianglin's hand: "Mr. Lan, it's getting late, you should rest for one night, and then go to Luoxue City tomorrow."

Although Lan wanted to rush to Luoxue City as soon as possible, but considering Xianglin and Nanako, it was not an extraordinary time, and he could not rush to the night road, so Lan nodded lightly and said, "That's good." , let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Maitreya nodded to Lan, and then she led Ziyuan into the hall.

After Maitreya entered the hall, Xiang Lin raised his head and looked at Lan and asked, "Ni Jiang~ Are we going to that Snowfall City?"

"Yeah." Lan rubbed Xianglin's hair, looked at the north and said, "Your Auntie Maitreya gave me Luoxuecheng. After I settle things there, you and your mother will live there."

The smart Xianglin couldn't understand the meaning of Lan's words, her eyes were watery, and she held on to Lan's sleeves with reluctance and asked, "Brother, don't you live with us?"

"Sorry Xianglin, I'm afraid I can't do that for the time being. I need to find a way to make me stronger so that I can protect you."

Lan looked up at the full moon in the sky and the stars all over the sky.

It is said that although Xianglin understands Lan's thoughts a little bit, she still plans to fight for it, in case she persuades Lan, so that he can live with Xianglin.

Just when Karin wanted to continue talking, Nanako pulled her over with her lips pursed.

"Be obedient, Xianglin, your brother has his own business, you can't keep pestering him." Nanako looked at Xianglin and said seriously.

"But, it's very dangerous outside, this world is full of bad people... Xianglin is afraid of my brother..."

As she was speaking, Nanako covered her mouth with Kaoru.

Covering her daughter's mouth, Nanako scolded, "Don't say such things."

Hearing his mother scolding him, Xianglin's eyes welled up with tears, why can't he say that he was just worried about his brother.

As if sensing Xianglin's grievance, Lan turned her face to Nanako and said, "Forget it, Nanako, Xianglin is also concerned about me, besides, how can one or two words affect me? It's getting late, You guys go to rest first."

"En." Nanako responded, and then let go of Xianglin's mouth, wiped the tears on her waist, and led her into the hall.

As the footsteps became weaker and weaker, Lan turned around and planned to go back to rest. Just as he started, Zhu Jian stopped him and said, "Lan... can you talk to me?"

Lan was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

Seeing that Lan agreed, Hashirama picked up Chakra and jumped to the top of the hall by stepping on the wall.

The moment he stopped, Lan jumped up too.

The two stood on the sloping roof like this.

After a long time, until the wind was blowing, Hashirama sat down and took out a pot of sake and asked Lan, "Would you like some?"

"I don't drink, you know."

Lan sat next to Zhujian, looking at the full moon in the sky and chatting with him one after another.

"Lan, you are a bit like Madara." Hashirama took a few sips of sake.

Smelling the aroma of wine in the sky, looking at the moon in the sky, until the wind was blowing, Lan closed her eyes and asked, "Which point."

"You and he both care about the people you love. Except for the people you love, you two don't care about others." Zhu Jian said, put down the jug, lay down on the tiles and squinted his eyes.

Lan looked at Zhujian, and then lay down on the cold tiles like him, picked up the flagon and lifted it up to his mouth. After taking a small sip, he put his flagon aside with a blushing face, and said : "My love is very small, and I can't give it to more people. In this world, what I can do is to give my love as much as possible to the people I love and the people who love me."

"Is it very small?" Zhu Jian opened his eyes and smiled, and said, "You are wrong, when you love someone who has nothing to do with you, your love is not small."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jian picked up the jug and drank up the remaining wine in it, saying: "Everyone has his own way of ninja, if you think your way of ninja is right, then you stick to it." , don’t be troubled because of me, Konoha is a place worth loving and protecting for me, but you are not me, you should find your love and find something worth protecting.

In the past, I seldom disciplined my children. In my eyes, you are just like my child. Lan, go boldly to find your way of ninja!Don't let the filth of this world cloud your eyes..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hashirama closed his eyes and fell asleep soundly.

Hearing Hashirama's breathing, Lan sat up and took the empty wine bottle in his hand and put it into the space, took out a blanket to cover Hashirama's body, then lay down on the tile again and looked at Yuan moon.

For some reason, the moon tonight is much rounder than before, and the bright moonlight shines on Lan's slightly immature face.

The breeze was blowing, gradually, Lan's eyes also slowly closed.

This night, Lan slept deeply, and Lan still didn't wake up until dawn.

The stars moved and the sun rose in a short time.

Hashirama, who was awakened by the morning sun, rubbed his eyes and sat up. As soon as he got up, he felt a sharp pain in his back, which seemed to be knocked by the tiles.

Hashirama rubbed his back, looked at the blanket on his body, and just as he was looking, he saw Lan still sound asleep beside him.

Looking at Lan with his eyes closed, Zhujian couldn't help raising his hand to wake him up. Just when he was about to poke Lan's face, Lan suddenly turned around.

If this was on the bed, it would be okay to turn around like this, but this is on the roof, turning around on the sloping tiles.

Before turning around, Lan's body rolled down the slope uncontrollably.

After rolling a few steps, Lan opened his eyes, hurriedly took out Kunai and inserted it into the tile to stop the rolling body, then stood up half-kneeling, pointing at Hashirama who was covering his mouth and laughing, and shouted: "Laugh! Just know how to laugh! Say, did you push me?"

"No... I didn't push you. I just woke up and you turned over, and then you rolled down."

Hashirama came over and handed the blanket to Lan.

"Well, even if you didn't push, then you should pull me when I roll down, what if I fall!" Lan snorted softly and snatched the blanket.

As soon as Lan put the blanket away, Lan sneezed.

The moment Lan sneezed, Hashirama avoided it with a blink.

Looking at Hashirama who was hiding far away, Lan jumped off the roof full of black lines.

As soon as he jumped down, he saw Abe Yishan rushing here with Onmyoji.

So Lan fell to Abe Yishan's side.

Seeing Lan's sudden appearance, Abe Yishan smiled and said to Lan: "Mr. Lan, I have already arranged the job in Luoxue City. As long as you arrive there, you can take over your territory."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Lan bowed slightly to Abe Yishan.

Before Lan finished the ceremony, Abe Yishan helped Lan up and said, "You deserve it."

At this moment, Hashirama also jumped from the roof.

Seeing Hashirama, Abe Yishan greeted him, then looked at Lan and asked, "When are you planning to go to your territory?"

"It's noon, where are we going after breakfast? According to my speed, I can reach Snow City in the afternoon." Lan said casually.

"Okay." Abe Yishan nodded, and then asked: "Look, what else do you need, just let me know if you need anything."

"No, nothing is needed, thank you for your kindness."

Lan smiled and waved his hands, and then chatted with Abe Yishan for a while. After chatting for a while, Abe Yishan walked into the hall on the grounds of discussing state affairs with Maitreya.

At this time, Nanako also came out with Xianglin. Seeing the two coming out, Lan told Nanako about his previous decision. After she agreed, the four of them went to the restaurant and asked for some food. stand up.

At the same time, the envoys of various countries staying in the ghost country are passing some of the ghost country's decisions back to the country through various methods.

In Konoha Village, the Country of Fire.

In Hokage's office, the old Hiruzaru Sarutobi was smoking a pipe and browsing through the documents in his hand. Just as he was about to pick up a pen to sign, Anbe Ninja suddenly walked in with a letter.

Seeing Anbe suddenly appearing, Hiruzaru Sarutobi pointed to the table and motioned him to put it there.

Seeing this, Anbu Ninja put the letter there, and just as he was about to turn around to leave, Hiruzaru Sarutobi picked up the letter, opened it and browsed through it.

Just after browsing, Hiruzaru Sarutobi accidentally dropped the pipe from his mouth.

Hearing the sound, Anbu Ninja stopped and picked up the pipe in a blink of an eye.

Just as he was about to hand the pipe to Hiruzaru Sarutobi, he heard Hiruzaru Sarutobi say in a calm voice: "Go to the ninja registration office and burn all the ninja information of Tsukikage Arashi."

"Yes."

Although he didn't know what happened to Naruto, Anbu Ninja still responded, and then he put down his pipe, opened the door and walked out.

After he left, Hiruzaru Sarutobi lay down on the chair with a tired face.

"Have you joined the kingdom of ghosts? Can I, Konoha, be inferior to a small kingdom of ghosts?"

Unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen's exhaustion, the third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, the fourth Kazekage Rasa, and the fourth Raikage Ai were all shocked by this news.

They just learned from their subordinates that Lan is from the Qianshou clan and can also do wood dungeon. Before they had time to make arrangements, they saw this information. Lan turned out to be a ninja protecting the kingdom of ghosts. He has this identity , then shooting him is equivalent to shooting against the ghost country.

The shadows of the three ninja villages frowned and remained silent in their respective ninja villages. After a long time, the three men ordered their subordinates to stop the series of actions they had prepared for Lan.

At this time, in the hidden fog village in the country of water.

Fourth Mizukage Yagura looked at the letter from the ghost country expressionlessly, and the shadow of Sharingan flickered in his eyes from time to time.

At this moment, the peaceful ninja world became active because of this small document from the kingdom of ghosts.
