Konoha's journey to find eternal life

"Not many, 43 volumes, [-] volumes."

Kinoshita Ryoichi recalled it.

He borrowed almost all of Konoha's book scrolls on illusion knowledge.

To achieve great success in genjutsu requires talent. Failure to achieve great success does not mean that Ryoichi has gained nothing.

At least he understood the principles of many illusions!

Even if he can't release high-level illusions, he still has a lot of experience in finding the loopholes in the illusions and avoiding other people's illusions.

Good guy, a few people were astonished when they heard the words!

Is this genius?

However, Ryoichi himself didn't feel anything special at all.

It took the team more than 20 days to leave Konoha for the Land of Thunder.

It took more than 20 days for the team to return to Konoha from the Land of Thunder.

It's another summer.

rainy summer.

For some reason, Ryoichi's heart is also like this weather.

The closer he got to Konoha, the more panicked his heart became.

After two months away, I should be happy, I should look forward to it.

But it happened that there was a feeling of unwillingness to move forward, a very strange feeling.

As if something bad is about to happen!

"Little ghost, why are you absent-minded recently?"

Arriving at Nanga River, when the team paused for a short while, Mitarai Anko slapped Ryoichi on the head and asked.

"I don't know, I feel like it's crowded here."

Ryoichi clutched his somewhat stuffy chest, and replied uneasily.

He often felt this way in his previous life.

He didn't like this feeling of dull heart, like Hades' urging talisman.

"Have you not slept well recently?"

Hongdou frowned, she found that Liangyi always read all night.

I am very worried about Ryoichi's health.

A gust of wind suddenly blew up.

Everyone by the river stopped their movements and stared at the ninja running from the opposite bank with full vigilance.

When they got closer and saw the appearance of the person coming, everyone relaxed their vigilance.

It's a ninja from Konoha.

The person in charge is none other than Kakashi Hatake, an elite Jōnin who was recently transferred from Anbu.

"There is intelligence."

Liangyi pondered in his heart.

Kakashi was exchanging information with Maitekai and Asma.

From the surprised expressions of Matkai and Asma, Ryoichi saw something was wrong.

As Jonin, they have long been used to strong winds and waves.

Ordinary little things definitely won't make them show such expressions.

"Uchiha Itachi defected to Konoha, and the Uchiha family was wiped out."

Paper cannot keep fire, not to mention that Kakashi and others did not keep it secret.

Konoha has issued a wanted order for Uchiha Itachi. The purpose of Kakashi and others' coming here, in addition to informing them of information, is to interrogate whether the team has met Uchiha Itachi and whether they know Uchiha Itachi's whereabouts.

ridiculous.

Uchiha Itachi's extermination of the clan was the result of the tacit approval of high-level officials.

At this time, ninjas were sent to follow, and they might find traces of Uchiha Itachi.

Ryoichi laughed heartily.

Looking at the team led by Kakashi, I couldn't help but feel disgusted by the higher-ups.

After becoming a bitch, she still has to set up a memorial archway, and she pretends to be ignorant afterwards.

Not to mention that Uchiha Itachi quietly wiped out the Uchiha family in Konoha.

Even Payne has no ability to wipe out the Uchiha family without Konoha's knowledge!

Even Uchiha Madara may not be able to do it!

Knowing that nothing will come of it.

But Kakashi's team still chose to continue tracking towards the border.

As the Chunin Exam team continued to move towards Konoha, they encountered several more waves of Konoha ninjas.

Perhaps it was because Konoha's high-level officials wanted to make up for the reduction in tasks in the past two years.

What's ridiculous is that the team chasing Uchiha Itachi even had the Zhongnin lead the Ninja to participate.

If you really want to meet Uchiha Itachi, isn't that a gift?

Another day's journey along the Nanhe River.

During the Valley of the End, the Daimyo's escort was separated from the Metkai squad.

Asuma and the others headed towards the daimyo, while Metkai led the team towards Konoha.

"It's better, no kid?"

When Konoha was still half a day away, Anko asked Ryoichi again with concern.

"Ah."

Ryoichi didn't want to get too entangled, so he nodded to hide the fact that he was even more panicked.

After more than a month's journey, most of the wounded have recovered on the road, but there are still two genin who are seriously injured and cannot run on the ground.

The wounded carriage slowed down the speed of the team, so that Konoha got the news of the team's return in advance.

By the time the team reached the Konoha Gate, a large group of expectant faces were already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Most of them are ninja parents who took the exam.

"Ryoichi!"

Kinoshita Ryoichi also saw Keiko waving his hands.

"Mother……"

Ryoichi immediately quickened his pace, broke away from the team, and rushed directly into the village regardless of the ninja guarding the gate, and threw himself into Keiko's arms.

"Good boy."

Keiko wept with joy and rubbed Ryoichi's hair.

Koichi felt something was wrong.

Keiko's eyes clearly searched for something in the returning team.

"Mom, you're emaciated."

Ryoichi raised his head and stretched out his small hand to wipe away the tears on Keiko's face.

Keiko opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, and she stretched out her warm palm to rub Ryoichi's face.

The whole team entered the village.

And at this moment, where Ryoichi couldn't see and couldn't hear.

Keiko's last ray of hope was dashed.

"Mom, let's go home. By the way, where's Dad?"

Ryoichi thought it was Keiko who couldn't bear to see those injured genocide, and those scenes where the children didn't come back and their parents were crying.

He didn't think much about Keiko's strange expression.

"Um……"

Keiko's voice was a little choked up, she looked at the village entrance reluctantly, and led Ryoichi to the house.

"Mom, don't be sad. From the day they set foot on the road of ninjas, they can't guarantee that they can come back after going out."

Ryoichi still thought that Keiko was feeling sad for those parents who lost their children, so he obediently put his face on the back of Keiko's hand and comforted him.

"What would Ryoichi want to eat today? Tell mom."

Keiko gritted her teeth, pretended nothing happened, and bowed her head to give Ryoichi a not-so-pretty smile.

At the same time, I kept telling myself: I still have Ryoichi, Ryoichi is still young, I must be strong!

"Whatever, I like to eat whatever my mother does."

Ryoichi's heart was still a little clogged. He thought it was the syndrome he had before returning home, but after seeing Keiko, his heart was still clogged.

Could it be that I also have heart disease in this life?

After returning home, Keiko thoughtfully took off all the equipment on Ryoichi's body, scraped his little nose, and joked: "It's been a long time since I took a bath. It stinks so bad. Go take a nice fragrant bath and come out for dinner."

Looking around at home, coupled with Keiko's forced smile at this moment, Ryoichi thumped in his heart.

Could it be that something happened at home?

We're all back home, why does Keiko still have this expression.

Keiko thought she was putting on a natural smile.

As everyone knows, in Liang's eyes, her thoughts are exposed because of the smile on her face.
