I am a member in Konoha

The southwest border of the Kingdom of Whirlpool. .

Led by Toshihiko, two Konoha ANBU teams kept jumping from the forest.

Because the team also carries a ghost lamp Jingyue who has sealed chakra, so the speed of travel is not very fast.

And just when a group of people were about to arrive at the southwest pier of the Country of Whirlpool, Toshiyan showed a look of confusion on his face.

"Everyone, let's take a rest here first."

After landing in an open space, Toshiyan spoke.

"Rest? Toshiyan, we shouldn't need to rest at such a slow pace. We will arrive at the dock soon."

After landing next to Toshihiko, Jiraiya said softly.

To be honest, Jiraiya really didn't feel any fatigue while driving at this speed. If possible, he would rather speed up a little more so that he could return to the village as soon as possible.

"You are just talking nonsense. Although in theory we have wiped out the large forces in Kirigakure Village, no one can guarantee whether there will be enemies secretly. I feel there is no problem in taking a rest." Facing Jiraiya words, Tsunade retorted.

In fact, psychologically, Tsunade also agreed with Jiraiya.

But the problem is that their team is not the only one taking action now.

Next to them was the ANBU Sixth Team, headed by 'Genjutsu'.

You must know that Toshihiko is not only their captain, but also the temporary commander of the two ANBU teams. According to the stipulations of the ninja manual, there is no need to accept orders from superiors without any conditions.

Just when Toshihiko said he wanted to rest, Jiraiya expressed his opinion. If only their team was there, it would be fine. After all, everyone was used to it.

But now there are other teams present, so you have to restrain yourself.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Tsunade is more concerned about Toshihiko's physical condition.

In the previous battle with Oniden Ryugo, the miraculous scene that happened to Toshihiko was still fresh in Tsunade's memory.

Even a fatal injury like being penetrated through the chest could be recovered in an instant. Tsunade swore that even the most powerful medical ninjutsu could not do this.

So she suspected that Toshiyan had used some kind of forbidden technique.

Generally speaking, the power or effect of forbidden jutsu is far greater than that of ordinary ninjutsu, but the reason why it is called forbidden jutsu is because it may have very serious side effects.

Side effects may be physical harm or life-span harm.

No matter which one it is, it has to arouse Tsunade's vigilance.

Tsunade had also asked Toshihiko vaguely before, trying to find out something.

But every time Junyan just smiled and said nothing.

The more relaxed Toshihiko appeared, the more worried Tsunade became.

So the moment Toshihiko asked to rest, Tsunade even wondered if there was something wrong with his body.

"..."

After Tsunade finished speaking, Jiraiya was speechless. He just made a small suggestion. There was no need to be so excited.

"Don't be so nervous. The reason why I proposed to take a rest is that I need to deal with something."

Facing Jiraiya who was speechless by Tsunade, Toshihiko said with a chuckle.

"Handling things?"

Listening to Junyan's words, everyone turned their attention to him.

What else needs to be done in this case.

"Come out, how long do you want to follow?"

Under everyone's confused looks, Toshiyan turned around and spoke softly in the direction of the dense forest.

"Alert~!"

It can be said that in an instant, the 'genjutsu' took out a kunai and shouted loudly.

Regardless of who is hiding in the dense forest, the opponent's concealment skills are enough to arouse the vigilance of the 'illusion'.

If Toshiyan hadn't spoken, the 'genjutsu' wouldn't have even known that they were being followed.

"Whoa~!"

In an instant, the members of the sixth team opened the battle line in an instant.

Including Tsunade and others, they also assumed fighting postures.

"Don't be so nervous, we're on our own."

Looking at everyone's prepared look, Junyan smiled and waved his hand.

Soon, under the gaze of everyone, a figure slowly walked out of the dense forest.

"Uzumaki Xia Wei~!"

Jiraiya's eyes widened when he saw Uzumaki Xia Wei, who lowered her head and looked a little embarrassed.

In fact, let alone Jiraiya, even Orochimaru and others showed doubtful expressions.

"Sister Xia Wei, what kind of drama are you trying to play?"

Arriving in front of Uzumaki Xia Wei, Toshihiko said slightly helplessly.

"I want to go to Konoha!"

Looking at Toshihiko in front of him, he seemed to have summoned up great courage. Uzumaki Xia Wei raised his head and said very firmly.

"Uh~!"

After hearing Uzumaki Xia Wei's words, Toshihiko was slightly stunned.

"Of course you can go to Konoha, but you have to get my uncle's permission first. I'll take you back now. You can go whenever you want."

There is no doubt that Uzumaki Xia Wei must have sneaked out again this time.

If Uzumaki Seto really agreed to her going to Konoha Village, she would definitely tell him in advance, but Toshihiko didn't know the news until she left.

You must know that Uzumaki Seto only has two daughters, and he dotes on Uzumaki Xia Wei even more.

If he knew that Uzumaki Xia Wei had sneaked out again, he would definitely be very worried.

"I don't. Anyway, I have left a letter for my father. If you don't take me, I will go by myself." Uzumaki Xia Wei said stubbornly.

After all, Uzumaki Xia Wei has to admit that when Toshihiko first arrived in the country of Uzumaki five years ago, she was just happy that she had an extra companion.

But during the one year they spent together, Xia Wei felt that as long as she stayed with Junyan, she would be particularly happy.

That feeling is indescribably wonderful.

But at that moment, Uzumaki Xia Wei didn't think much about it.

But since Toshiyan left the Country of Uzumaki, Uzumaki Xia Wei suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Whenever she was alone, Toshiyan's voice and smile would appear in her mind.

There was even a moment when Xia Wei Uzumaki felt like she was possessed by a demon.

They say time can dilute everything, but it seems to have no effect on Uzumaki Xia Wei.

During the period when she was imprisoned in Kirigakure Village, in addition to thinking of her father and sister, she also thought of Toshihiko.

She even thought that if she really died here, would Toshiyan remember that he had a partner like her in the Kingdom of Whirlpool?

But who would have thought that one day, Uzumaki Xia Wei would see Toshihiko in the enemy's base.

The figure that looked like a god descending to earth made Uzumaki Xia Wei think that she was dreaming.

But she knew very well that this was not a dream, Junyan was really here.

At that moment, Uzumaki Xia Wei was really excited, but she was more worried. She was worried that Toshihiko's life would be in danger if he was in danger.

But then Toshiyan's words almost made her collapse.

That heartbreaking feeling was still fresh in Uzumaki Xia Wei's memory.

Fortunately, Toshiyan said those words to save her.

But it was precisely because of this that Uzumaki Xia Wei faced her own heart. She liked Toshihiko, she really liked him.
