Ji Jun, who was lying on his side, seemed to fall asleep quickly and did not hear her question.

Taohua remained silent, performing her duties as a guard. This is what she does best and there is no room for error.

After a long time, she heard someone who was supposed to be asleep suddenly answer the question.

"Did Hashirama ask you to ask?"

Although I answered questions with questions, I finally got a response.

Taohua cheered up and carefully chose the right tone.

"Before departure, Lord Hashirama asked me to strictly follow your orders."

"Hehehehe." The figure facing away laughed incomprehensibly.

He wouldn't talk like that, Izayoi thought. Hashirama has a good temper and never uses a commanding tone to ask people to do this or that. It's possible for Tobirama, but he won't ask his ninja to absolutely obey other people's orders. Taohua is lying.

"Chief Qianju is too polite. I will issue the task, and you will complete the task. That's enough."

"But Yu..." Taohua couldn't help but straighten up, wanting to defend her family leader.

Izayoi raised his hand and interrupted her words.

"The Uchiha clan is also on a mission. I entrust them with running the casino. If Senju is willing, the construction of the outer streets can be left to you."

Perhaps it was an illusion, but both inside and outside her words were drawing a clear line between her and Lord Hashirama. If you don't want to deal with ninjas, you won't even keep ninjas around you. Thousand Hands will not get any more benefits.

If the outer buildings are removed, we will be more confident this winter.

Comparing the food and clothing of the tribe and the instructions of the patriarch on the same level, Taohua found it difficult not to choose everyone.

Her relatives also have to live and survive the winter. If everyone loses a large amount of income because of a wrong response, she will not be able to forgive herself emotionally or rationally.

Lord Hashirama, I'm sorry...

Taohua bowed deeply and said nothing more.

The room fell into silence again.

The freshly cut Qingming flowers in the morning are still filled with moisture, and their leaves are bright green. Long vines hang down from the mouth of the bottle, and are dotted with simple small yellow flowers from bottom to top.

The yellow flowers in the white vase have a lively color, and the new emerald leaves suppress the overly frivolous feeling and appear calm.

The clean bottom of the bottle reflected Izayoi's sleepless face. She put one hand under her head and focused her eyes on a point in the void.

Under the clothes on his chest, a warm peace sign was placed tightly against his heart. The vines used as lanyards were polished smooth and without any burrs.

Izayoi pressed his left hand on his chest, and through the hem of his clothes, he could still feel it emitting warm warmth like a small sun, showing an unparalleled sense of presence.

The sight in the void slowly lowered, and Izayoi saw his own eyes on the belly of the bottle - curved, shiny and flowing.

She closed her eyes, adjusted her mentality, and regained her composure.

Taohua didn't make a sound, and the room became quiet again.

————————————————————

In the next few days, Momohua followed Izayoi and did all the maid's work.

She was replaced by Tamako, who took the position originally assigned to Momo. The little man began to take care of the logistics of the construction site in a decent manner.

fair enough. Although Tamako has the blood of Senju, she is not a ninja and can be trained as one of her own. Taohua finally had to listen to the clan's arrangements. If you are too involved, it will be harder to withdraw.

She put down the long piece she had written, turned to open the scroll on the table, and carefully studied Senju's reply.

The font that enters the eye is straight and square, and the muscles and bones are strong. It seems that the legendary name of the mighty and wise general is indeed true. Senju Tobirama has great martial arts and good calligraphy.

Izayoi swept past the polite greetings and went straight to the topic. She was prepared to continue to be rejected by Senju Tobirama. Originally, she was just trying to see if their tone could be loosened.

It doesn't matter if she refuses, she still has other letters in her hand and can give them to Shikasuke at any time. In the past few days, he took a break and walked around the surrounding area. He probably also visited other familiar ninjas. Maybe you can ask him to help others and try other ways.

As she watched, her expression became strange.

Taohua brought a pot of hot water up, saw her expression was different, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Izayoi held his forehead and tapped his fingers on the table with his other hand, making a clicking sound, which was disturbing.

"This letter was given to you by Senju Tobirama?"

Taohua nodded. "My work report here will be given directly to Tobirama-sama."

"Is there no one else involved?"

Taohua smiled.

The iceberg beauty's ability to smile was a pleasing thing to the eyes, but Izayoi was really not in the mood to appreciate it, and still asked: "Will other ninjas intercept her and change her words or something?"

Black definitely changed the underground stone monument of Uchiha. It's all possible.

"Impossible!" Taohua said firmly. "Psychic beasts follow different paths than humans, so it is the safest method of transmission."

Since she was so sure, Izayoi shook the letter that fell out of the scroll.

"What about within the clan? Will anyone intercept Tobirama's letter?"

Izayoi raised the letter paper, and the square folded letter paper was clamped in his palm, blocking most of the writing.

Momo couldn't recognize it and answered cautiously: "The family affairs are all handled by Tobirama-sama."

"That's it. Then forget it."

Ji Jun didn't want to say it clearly, but Taohua had a hundred questions in her heart and could only suppress them. Maybe you can send another letter and ask?

Izayoi did not continue to ask further, and put the letter away in his lapel. She stood up and said simply: "I have to go out. The outer street is closed today. Please run for me and be careful not to get into trouble."

"What about your safety?"

"I'll take Hirata with me."

Izayoi refused Mooka to follow, put on her curtain hat and led Hirata out. Butterfly unexpectedly did not go out to meet the guests today. He smiled and took Taohua's arm to go to the outer streets to find someone.

"Oh! Just take me there. It doesn't matter if the izakaya opens late. I want to see how it goes."

She yelled and pulled the bewildered Mooka in the opposite direction. Izayoi watched the two of them leave like sisters, then turned to Hirata to explain the itinerary later.

"You've been putting off this oral habit problem for too long. I asked someone to take a look at it for you."

Hirata danced excitedly and meowed non-stop. The half-grown boy has long passed the age of being cute. If he hadn't gained a lot of weight during this period, he would have acted maliciously and acted cute.

Izayoi shook his head, stepped on his tall wooden shoes to avoid the water on the road, and walked towards the west.

The place we made an appointment with Shikasuke was in a medicine shop to the west.

When he passed by, Lu Jie was squatting under the eaves, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with his hands folded. Someone whispered in the room, the tone was soft, but as chilling as a knife.

"Really? Everyone has changed a lot during this time."

Izayoi led the people over and exchanged glances with Shikasuke. Shikasuke lowered his head and made a slitting motion on his throat. He sighed, hoping Jijun got the hint.

"I haven't congratulated you on your opening yet. This is the opening ceremony. I wish your store a prosperous business."

Izayoi took out the long piece of writing and handed it to Shikasuke with both hands.

Lu Jie was stunned for a moment, then quickly jumped up from the ground, bowed to take it, and unfolded it to see three ancient characters - Lu Ming Tang - written in delicate and elegant handwriting.

"This is so valuable! Thank you very much!"

Wow! Is it Ji Jun’s handwriting? ! Where can I get it framed? How about hanging it in the nave?

Izayoi bowed slightly and returned the greeting. "Hiraita knows the framer's position. When you're done, bring him back for medical treatment."

Hirata meowed and wanted to say something, but Shikasuke grabbed his shoulders and led him away. He smiled and said that he was going to find something to eat on the way, so Ji Jun didn't have to worry.

Under his hint with a wink, Izayoi understood the current situation. She nodded to show that she understood, then lifted the door curtain and walked in.

Uchiha Kaura stood guard inside the door, greeted her with a smile, and pulled the door panel smoothly.

With a click, the door latch fell down—the visitor was evil.

Izayoi turned around and looked, and in the dark corner, an oil lamp dimly lit up. The firelighter casually flicked out the flames at his fingertips and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Jun Ji's style is even more touching. No wonder the leader of the Thousand Hands Clan has never forgotten you."
