Kagura and Tobirama visited the shops on the hot spring street, not knowing what toys to buy for the boy. In the end, they decided to buy some shuriken and kunai models to take back.

Boys should like these things.

Leaving the Country of Yu, we soon arrived at the Country of Fire, not far from Konoha.

Kagura always thinks of the cloaked boy from time to time, and by the way she thinks of Lotus.

At first, I heard from Tsunade that Renka worshiped Natsuki as her teacher and stayed in a place called Mount Kikyo all year round.

After meeting Yatō, Kagura wanted to meet Renge.

"Tobirama, where is Mount Kikyo?"

"Mount Kikyo?" Tobirama was a little confused, but still told Kagura, "Mountain Kikyo is not far from Konoha, so why do you ask about that place?"

"Let's go to Platycodon Mountain to have a look. Maybe... maybe we'll see Sister Natsuki."

Sister Natsuki?

Tobirama stared blankly in the direction of Mount Kikyo. Every time he mentioned Natsuki, it was a scar in Tobirama's heart.

He always felt guilty towards his only sister, who wasted the best part of her life. Even if she later left the Daming Mansion, she was not willing to stay in Konoha.

Is it because she has no sense of belonging to Konoha, or does she have a grudge against her two brothers after all?

Tobirama didn't dare to think about it carefully. He had a typical ostrich mentality on this matter.

It's as if it never happened if you don't think about it carefully. His sister seems to be a doctor who really cares about the people. She travels to the ninja world because of the compassion in her heart, and she doesn't complain at all against the two brothers.

Tobirama's dazed look was a bit pitiful, and even his eyes were full of remorse and guilt.

Kagura looked at him and could probably understand his mood at this time.

She held Tobirama's arm and comforted him: "Just because we are siblings from the same mother, and because she loves you and Anijia deeply, she will give it willingly. If she has any complaints against you, she will If she had a grudge, she would definitely not take the initiative to stay in Daming Mansion for so many years."

"..."

"For people like my sister, don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."

Listening to Kagura's words, Tobirama couldn't help but smile.

Kagura, she always had a way of cheering him up when he was depressed.

"Then... let's go to Platycodon Mountain."

Mount Kikyo is located in the southwest of Konoha. It is actually farther to go there than back to Konoha directly, but I thought that since I was out and Kagura wanted to go, I would go there directly.

The two of them were not in a hurry, and walked slowly like that, finally arriving at Platycodon Mountain two days later.

Years have passed, and the condition of this village has not improved much. It is similar to what Tsunade described, dilapidated and poor. The only difference is probably that there is no war now.

Kagura and Tobirama walked in the village. The village was not big, with some residential buildings scattered around.

The sparse population makes this village particularly quiet.

Tobirama couldn't help but frown from the moment he entered the village. As a former Hokage, when he thought of Konoha and looked at the village in front of him, his occupational disease made him full of opinions about the village chief.

But he also knew that small villages like this located on the border of a country probably all had the same fate.

When the enemy invaded, he was the first to suffer. When funds were allocated for reconstruction after the war, he was forgotten by the daimyo and was in a very difficult situation.

"Sister, will she... be in this village?"

Facing such a dilapidated village, Tobirama couldn't imagine how much hardship Natsuki would suffer if she were here.

Kagura is not sure whether Natsuki is here at all. She can only say that she has stayed here before. The person she wants to see is not just Natsuki, she also wants to see Renhua.

But now, walking in this village with not many people, she began to be unsure whether Lianhua was here.

The further he walked into the village, the uglier his face became. He really couldn't imagine that his sister had been suffering in such a place all these years.

"Xiao Gang, when he returned to the village, he didn't know how to take his sister back."

Tobirama gritted his teeth as he spoke, while Kagura screamed for Tsunade.

"If my sister doesn't want to go back, Xiaozang can't kidnap her back."

Tobirama glared at her angrily, and Kagura could only pretend not to see it and turned her head to the side.

The path is very narrow, with rice fields on both sides. In midsummer, the rice has matured, the water in the fields has dried up, the land slowly becomes hard, and the plump rice ears hang down. It is the only pleasant-looking scenery in this village.

There were farmers working in the fields, and Kagura took a few steps and ran over to say hello to them.

Although Tobirama is good at diplomacy, he is more forced to have no choice. If he has a choice, he is probably not a familiar person, and Kagura is different in this regard.

Kagura has a bit of a social bug. No matter who the other person is, she has no stage fright. She can chat with anyone. For example, right now, she is chatting with an old couple harvesting rice. After just one sentence, the conversation can be lively.

Tobirama stood bored on the roadside in the distance, while Kagura had been sitting on the edge of the rice field chatting with the old father for nearly half an hour.

He really wondered what there was to talk about with such an old couple who had never met before.

Looking around the village, apart from the obvious poverty, the scenery is actually quite beautiful.

On the hillside in the distance, purple platycodon flowers are spread all over the place like a carpet. This is probably the reason why this village got its name.

Underfoot, there are water channels between rice fields. The clear water channels are mirrors of the sky.

The frog hid beside the water plants and croaked from time to time.

The white phosphorus butterfly rests on the flowers beside the ditch.

Grasshoppers have strong legs and feet and can jump from one side of the ditch to the other.

Tobirama wasn't sure how long Kagura was going to talk, so he simply sat down on the roadside, looking at the active animals, feeling the fragrance of rice, and occasionally casting his eyes on Kagura not far away.

In the golden yellow, the woman's smiling face is very beautiful.

Tobirama subconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth. Such a beautiful and lovely woman was actually his wife. Hum~ This feeling was simply indescribably good.

This village is very different from Konoha. Konoha is noisy all day long, but here, it is too quiet, as if it does not belong to this ninja world, and is an existence outside the ninja world.

This kind of quietness made him yearn for it.

Looking at the old couple in the distance, Tobirama seemed to see his future with Kagura.

A couple has been together since their youth, and has gone through ups and downs hand in hand for decades. In the end, even if they are no longer young, they still stand firmly by each other's side.

Without ninjutsu and ninja village, he lived a quiet farming life.

She is the first person I see when I open my eyes in the morning, and she is the person lying next to me before falling asleep at night.

He will not give up the person in front of him for anything else, nor will he throw away his life.

Such days may lead to poverty, but they are inexplicably attractive to Tobirama.

He rubbed his face and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

Why do you think of such a day?

Not far away, Kagura waved goodbye to the old couple. It could be seen that they had a very happy conversation. It only took more than half an hour for the old couple to feel reluctant to leave Kagura.

As expected of you, Kagura.

Tobirama smiled inwardly.

"How about it? Did that uncle teach you how to grow rice well?" Looking at Kagura who climbed up the gentle slope in front of him with her hands and feet, Tobirama teased her with a smile.

Kagura pouted in anger, and then she imitated the old man's voice and laughed: "Well, he taught me. He said how could a little girl be so eager to learn? Your husband shouldn't let your husband do things like planting rice. Come and ask me for advice?”

Kagura spoke seriously, and Tobirama didn't know what to say back to her for a moment, so he could only smile and help her remove the blades of grass stuck to her skirt.

He nodded, his voice calm but submissive, "Ah, maybe one day, I will really learn how to grow rice from others, and you will be by my side then, right?"

As he spoke, he raised his head to look at Kagura. The sun made Kagura's cheeks red, like ripe red apples in autumn.

Kagura raised her chin and smiled brightly. She shook her head, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe when you are planting rice, I will go to another time and space."

"I won't let you go."

"Who can say for sure, I... don't want to leave either."

Tobirama liked this statement very much, Kagura, just like herself, she didn't want to leave him.

"So, what did you talk to that couple about?"

Speaking of this, Kagura's face showed a happy look again. She hugged Tobirama's arm and said cheerfully: "Lianhua, she is really here. The old father and his wife said that Lianhua is a year old woman." The one who came back here before was the doctor in the village."

"Then sister..."

Kagura shook her head, "They said that Sister Natsuki was no longer in this village many years ago..."

Tobirama's face slowly dimmed. He looked at the ditch at his feet. After a few minutes, he smiled faintly and said, "Well, I have actually imagined that my sister has the world in her heart, so how could she stay in the same place? It’s too long.”

Kagura agreed with Tobirama's idea. She hesitated and asked him: "Then... let's go find Renhua now?"

After his head was roughly rubbed by the man's big hand, Tobirama stood up from the ground first, with a slight smile in his narrow eyes, and he said: "Isn't this your purpose? Get up quickly and leave. "
