Konoha Ninja Warrior

"Phew, I'm finally back." Tokugawa Yukimura exhaled, looking at the familiar buildings in the Iron Country.

Although the climate here is not a little harsh compared to the warm and livable Fire Country, Tokugawa Yukimura still feels warm and comfortable with this country under the snow.

At this time, it has been more than a week since he and Kadotsu parted ways. It took so long to avoid the war zone and to avoid being caught as a spy. Tokugawa Yukimura made a big circle and walked halfway The journey back to the country of iron.

But such a long time is not wasted in vain, Tokugawa Yukimura also spared time to practice the ninjutsu he just acquired.Among the ninjutsu exchanged from Kakuto, the technique of Thunder Sword has already been learned. Although the technique of Kamaitachi has not been successful, it has a general direction. Just continue to study it. As for the activation of the cells of Thunder Dun, this kind of Dangerous practice can only be practiced after returning to the village and ensuring safe conditions.

Back home, Tokugawa Yukimura unexpectedly found that Mifune did not go to the office, but was waiting for him at home. Seeing the father and son seemed to have something to say, so although he was very excited to see the young master back, Sawashiro Nai still served them a cup of tea and left.

"How have you been spending these two days outside?" Mifune asked softly.

"It's not bad. I've seen a lot and broadened my horizons." Tokugawa Yukimura didn't dare to look Mifune directly in the eyes, but only stared at the tea leaves in the cup and replied.

"So you decided to take that path?" Mifune didn't explain, but Yukimura understood what he meant.

"Yes." Although he was worried, he did not choose to escape, "I think that judging whether the other person is a samurai does not just depend on whether he wears a sword and armor or whether he uses traditional samurai sword skills, but on his belief. Regardless of weapons or methods, they are all tools to protect beliefs. Although my power is weak now, the place my sword can reach is my kingdom. I will protect the one I love until death. . This is my samurai soul. As long as I still stick to this belief, then I will always be a samurai." As he spoke, Tokugawa Yukimura's voice became calmer and he lost those worries.

"Boy, you've really grown up and can speak beautiful words." Mifune who was silent for a moment suddenly smiled and said.This frightened Tokugawa Yukimura, because he seemed to have never seen his smile in his memory, or since his mother passed away, he has become the majestic and stern general Mifune that people expect, unsmiling, never defeat.

"I thought I wouldn't use it, but it turned out to be useful." Mifune sighed, then he stood up, took out a somewhat old scroll from the drawer in the room, and handed it to Yukimura.

Tokugawa Yukimura opened the scroll and looked through it roughly, and found that the records inside were basically about sealing techniques. The last paragraph even recorded the famous sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, the Four Symbols Seal. Yukimura couldn't help but be surprised. As a samurai general, Mifune actually had such a secret scroll.

"This is" Tokugawa Yukimura looked at his father.

"Ah, it was left by your mother." Mifune took out his bong again, lit it slowly, and said slowly: "I was on a mission and accidentally rescued a girl, that is you After getting married, I found out that she is a survivor of the Uzumaki family, but it is a side branch. After all, the iconic red hair is not there. This scroll is also the last connection between her and the Uzumaki family. After that, she has been content to be a Wife and mother. It’s just that her escape left her with incurable sequelae, and she passed away after giving birth to you.”

Tokugawa Yukimura was very surprised to hear that his mother was actually a descendant of the famous Uzumaki clan. After all, not long ago, he was complaining about others relying on the blood of the Otsutsuki clan, and in the blink of an eye, he became one of them. One member.

But then I thought about it, and since I was a child, except that I have slightly more chakra than my peers, and that I recover a little faster after being injured, there are no other cheats. "Sure enough, you still have to rely on your own efforts?" Tokugawa Yukimura thought.

Having said so much, Mifune's voice also became low: "Since you have decided to go your own way, then this scroll is still for you, it will be somewhat useful."

"Mother, what kind of person is she?" Tokugawa Yukimura looked at the beautiful handwriting on the scroll and asked.

"She must be a cheerful person. Such hardships have not changed her character of laughing. At the end of the day, she is thanking the god who doesn't know where, thanking him for sending you to us. Yukimura, remember this It is your home, no matter what path you take, remember to come back and rest when you want to rest."

Tokugawa Yukimura found that he might never really know his father, and maybe he wasn't as omnipotent as he imagined, nor was he so cold and needless to rely on.

"Maybe it's because I'm too tired, I can't help but look back on the past, you can just take it as my talking to myself." After Mifune left, Yukimura was still in a trance, and left alone, "Also, Welcome home."

Tokugawa Yukimura felt a warmth. In the coldest time of this iron country, his heart was warm. Is this the feeling of being cared about by someone?

After seeing Mifune returning to the room from a distance, Sawashiro Na poked her little head in and asked: "Master, are you finished talking?"

Seeing her strange appearance, Tokugawa Yukimura felt much better, beckoning her to come in and sit down.

"What happened at home while I was away?"

"What happened? It's still the same as before. Mifune-sama still works late and doesn't come back. Oh, by the way, your teammate Yoshiyasu Tairaki has come to see you a few times."

"Oh, why did he come to me?"

"He didn't tell me when he saw you didn't come back, but I heard him talking to himself, as if he wanted to settle a score with you, saying that he was severely punished by his father because of your order. Master, have you done anything to deserve his punishment?"

Tokugawa Yukimura thinks about it, probably with the knife on the ninja, he felt that it would be irresponsible for Hirakiyo brothers to leave him alone in the country of artisans. Thinking of this is a bit of a headache. How long have you been nagging.

Looking at the curious Sawa Rina, Tokugawa Yukimura decisively dumped the blame: "How is that possible? It's probably because the Jonin who carried the sword felt that he did something bad in the mission. Don't talk about this, Rina, I brought it for you. The gift is a coral necklace unique to the Land of Craftsmen, let me show it to you."

"Ah, right?" The happy Rina immediately threw aside the unlucky Taira Kiyomiyasu and looked at her necklace happily.

The long-lost laughter came from the long-quiet courtyard. This must be the joy of returning home.
