The time for separation will always come.

Early the next morning, it was time for the Kirigakure delegation to leave Konoha.

The members of the mission packed up their belongings and walked towards the gate of Konoha, accompanied by the ninjas from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Perhaps due to their bad mood, Terumiei, his wife, and Motohisa moved very fast, and the entire Kirigakure mission also moved faster.

Not long after, the group of people arrived at the gate of Konoha.

Kazuya Uchiha, who is the elder in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is also waiting for the members of the mission here.

"Elder Rong, Elder Motojiu, please take care of yourself as we say goodbye this time." Uchiha Kazuya nodded slightly to the others.

"The same goes for Elder Kazuya..." After hearing Uchiha Kazuya's words, Terumiei managed to squeeze out a smile.

The two of them greeted each other politely at the gate of Konoha.

After rambling a few words, Terumi Rong suddenly hesitated and said hesitantly: "...Elder Kazuya, Lord Shirano Hokage..."

Of course, what Terumi Rong wants to ask is not Hanzo. Although he recognizes Hanzo as his son-in-law, after all, they have not been together for a long time and have no feelings for each other. He just wants to use Hanzo's excuse to see if Terumi Kaoru will come to see him off.

.

As the Hokage's wife, Kaoru would naturally be able to come with him if the Hokage came, but if the Hokage didn't come, it would be a bit unethical for her to come alone to see him off.

After hearing Terumiei's words, Motohisa and Terumiei's wife immediately pricked up their ears, waiting for Uchiha Kazuya's reply.

Hearing this, Uchiha Kazuya shook his head and said: "Elder Rong, Hokage-sama has given me full authority to see him off. Unless there are special circumstances, Hokage-sama should be..."

Before he could say the second half of the sentence "I won't come", a cheerful voice came from behind the audience.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Yuanjiu, I'm here to see you off."

Everyone turned around in surprise and saw Hanzo slightly supporting Kaoru, who was holding a bulging belly, and slowly walking towards the gate of Konoha, followed by Shigenori, Hitomi, Genji and others.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of Uchiha Kazuya, Terumiei and others, Hanzo blinked innocently and said: "Everyone, I am not here as Hokage now."

As he spoke, he pointed to the top of his head.

At this time, Hanzo was not wearing the Hokage hat, nor the Hokage's robe.

If you really want to say that, it makes sense.

Uchiha Kazuya also calmed down after hearing this.

After all, Hanzo had told him to leave this matter to him before. If Hanzo intervened rashly without notifying him, he would obviously be suspected of slapping him in the face.

But now that it's explained in this way, it doesn't matter.

Terumirong and his wife and Motohisa didn't care about anything else, and each walked towards the person they met.

Seeing this, Hanzo let go of Kaoru and asked her to talk to her parents for a few more words, while he himself walked towards Yuan Jiu.

"When you return to Kirigakure, you must take good care of yourself and your mother. It's best to find a good girl as soon as possible..."

When Hanzo came over, Hitomi was nagging Motohisa.

And Yuanjiu didn't show any sign of impatience, instead he kept nodding in agreement with a smile.

Seeing this, Renmei could only say helplessly: "You kid, I don't know if you really heard it or if you pretended to."

"Okay, mother." Hanzo also persuaded with a smile: "Yuanjiu is not a child anymore. He knows all this, and isn't there Aunt Huiying?"

"That's true." Renmei smiled and said, "Now that I'm older, I'm becoming more and more nagging."

"Where." Yuanjiu interrupted at this time: "Aunt Renmei is still young."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone laughed.

After joking for a while, Hanzo suddenly said: "Motohisa, you are in Kirigakure...The Mizukage is probably targeting you from time to time."

Hearing Hanzo's words, Motojiu suddenly choked.

When others saw this, they also frowned.

Looking at everyone's gaze, Yuanjiu could only smile slightly and said: "How did you see that, Hanzo?"

Hanzo shook his head and said: "The ninja who signed the agreement with you should be Mizukage's confidant. If he trusted you, how could he send this person to the mission and enjoy the same rights as you two elders? Where’s the level of power?”

Hearing this, Yuanjiu sighed and said, "You are still so sharp, Hanzo."

Hanzo said: "Don't underestimate Konoha's ability."

After a moment of silence, Motohisa said: "Indeed, Minazuki Arashi is very afraid of me because of the original agreement with our Shimada clan. Although I also bear the title of elder, most of the important affairs in Kirigakure , I don’t even really know.”

When Hanzo heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

He guessed that Minazuki Lan would be on guard and suppress Motojiu, but he didn't expect that he would be able to do this.

As one of Kirigakure's top brass, Motohisa doesn't even have the absolute right to know about the affairs in the village.

This is simply incredible.

Take Konoha as a comparison. Hanzo, the nine elders of Konoha, are also close to each other.

The person he trusts most is definitely Genji, but as for other elders, they are also informed about and participate in any important decisions in the village.

This is the maintenance of high-level authority and respect for the high-level operating system.

Otherwise, if Hanzo did what he did today, tomorrow sooner or later a certain generation of Hokage will start using information deception and other means to turn Konoha into his own.

Hanzo didn't know what Minazuki Arashi was thinking, and he couldn't control it. After a long silence, Hanzo finally just asked: "...Then if you separate your family and stay in Kirigakure, can you still maintain it?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Motojiu shook his head: "After all, my strength is in Kirigakure, only under Minazuki Lan, and with the support of the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Water, Minazuki Lan can only drill If you take advantage of a loophole in the rules, your survival will not be in danger."

Hanzo nodded when he heard this and said, "That's good."

As he spoke, he hesitated again, and glanced at the other Kirigakure ninjas not far away. Seeing that no one noticed him, Hanzo immediately lowered his voice and said: "When there is really danger, don't hesitate to send me a message directly. ... Regardless of whether we are divided into different families, we are still one family after all."

Motojiu was startled when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Zhongnian, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "...Yes, no matter which ninja village you are in, the Shimada clan is the Shimada clan. Kirigakure cannot tolerate you. Ye Rong can accommodate it."

Hearing the almost explicit words of support from Hanzo and Junnian, Motojiu couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. In the past few years, he had been struggling in Kirigakure and was exhausted physically and mentally.

This was the first time he heard such words of support for him.

I saw him lowering his head slightly, hiding the slight emotion in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Hanzo, Uncle Chungnian, I understand... Since the clan members of the branch family follow me, I will protect them with all my strength. of."
