Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

When the shadow of Cloud Hidden Village completely dissipated, Senju Mayuki's life returned to its usual trajectory.

In addition to normal commuting to and from get off work, all you need to do every day is your own practice and sparring——

As teammates, although Izumi and Hinata no longer need to practice together frequently, they must at least conduct regular simulation drills every three to five. This is a rule, and it is also the basis for a team to maintain a high degree of cooperation at all times.

And with the participation of Kurama Yakumo and Naruto, Senju Maysuki instantly felt as if her personal time had been compressed to the extreme~

Especially when Hyuga Hinata pestered him for some unknown reason, he immediately felt even more trapped. . .

Although it is indeed a good thing for him that "Princess White Eyes" is close to him,

But then the time is really not enough~

If you use a shadow clone, you will be complained that it is unfair.

Many times he was so worried that he scratched his head.

I regret why I didn’t follow Master Luo to take the “Time Management” course!

But fortunately, these little guys are so annoying that they will try their best to meet his training requirements during sparring.

Even if you don't meet the standard that day, you can basically catch up with the progress by the next "flop", just to get him a positive smile and a satisfactory head pat~

Then, just like that, the days passed by at a pace that was busier than the Hokage every day, until one day at the end of February when he was getting off work, two figures, one tall and one small, suddenly blocked his way home.

"Teacher~~~"

"???"

Hearing this joyful voice, Senju Mayuki's eyes widened instantly.

"you?"

It has been several years since he came to this world, and so far, Sissel is the only one who can call him that!

And who else could the tall and thin woman beside her be besides Ye Cang~

"Why are you here?"

After returning home, as soon as she sat down on the sofa, Senju Maysuki couldn't help but asked doubtfully, and then looked at Ye Cang who was sitting opposite,

"And you..."

Although he didn't finish his words, he believed that Ye Cang could understand what he meant:

After completing the mission, he did not die, but did not return to Sunagakure Village to recover. According to the rules of the ninja world, it is an act of treason!

That's why he was puzzled that Ye Cang appeared in Konoha Village so blatantly. After all, he believed that she was definitely not a person who did things without considering the consequences.

"Haha~ Are you surprised?"

Seeing his behavior like this, Ye Cang seemed a little satisfied. Fortunately, she didn't show off too much. She directly lifted up her right sleeve and explained:

"Look, I am now the coach of the security force of Tonika Village. I came to Konoha Village today as the representative of Tonika Village with the mission of 'expressing gratitude to the friendly villages'~"

"Oh?"

Seeing the patterns on the tattoos from the front half of her right forearm to the back of her hand, Senju Maysuki noticed that today's Ye Cang is indeed very different from before:

The most obvious thing was that the large piece of fabric she had worn inside out for who knows how many years was missing!Changed into a decent and slim-fitting dark blue uniform!

The forehead protector was also taken off. Although there were still pills on the top of the head, the color of the hair was all dyed the same orange~

"Well……"

Staring at her up and down carefully, I found that after changing into this outfit, the overall look and feel of Ye Cang now is indeed very different from before~

At the very least, if you are not a particularly familiar person, you will never recognize her from a distance as the Sword Escaper Ye Cang who once made Iwagakure Village so ecstatic!

"Well, that's fine~"

In the end, Senju Mayuki had no choice but to nod in admiration.

"Although I won't stop you from seeking revenge, I don't want you to be exposed prematurely. After all, there is still a big gap between your current strength and that of a village. What's more, I think your goal should be more than just a sand man. Hidden Village~”

"Ah."

Speaking of this, the smile on Ye Cang's face gradually faded away.

"As long as the war still exists, tragedies like mine will definitely happen one after another. If possible, I hope to end this curse with my own hands."

"...This day is not far away, believe me."

"Ok!"

Of course I believe you,

I only believe in you.

"Woooooo~~~"

Just as the water in the kettle was boiling, Sissel, who had been pretending to be transparent, hurriedly poured two cups of hot tea over.

"Teacher, Lord Yakura, please have some tea~"

"Thank you~"

Compared to Senju Maysuki's peace of mind, Ye Cang, who is obviously the strongest among the three, is more polite~

"Okay, it's time to get back to the topic~"

With that said, Ye Cang pushed the box wrapped in black floral cloth next to him across the coffee table in front of Senju Mayuki.

"Although the process was a bit tortuous, luckily it didn't disgrace~"

"Oh?"

Senju Mayuki's eyes immediately brightened, and he immediately opened the black cloth and box, and sure enough, he saw seven silver-white sticks lying inside, which looked very much like some kind of special metal.

The shape of each stick is the same, the only difference is the length. One end is threaded, and the other end is a round plug made of unknown material~

"When... when..."

These metal sticks are very light, and both the weight and the sound of knocking make them feel hollow inside.

"Can you control that Heavenly Spear with just these sticks?"

Ye Cang was very puzzled.

But think about it, for her who has been receiving ninja education, one day she suddenly discovered that there is such a thing as a touch screen for electronic devices in this world, which was really hard for her to understand and accept.

"Haha~ There are still many weird things in this world that you don't know about."

Senju Maysuki smiled, but didn't intend to explain too much. After speaking, he thought about it, then picked up a note from the box and threw it to Ye Cang.

Ye Cang: "?"

"As I told you before, I don't care how this thing controls the Spear of Heaven."

Faced with Ye Cang's questions, Senju Mayuki behaved very freely.

"Now I give one of them to you for safekeeping, which can be regarded as proving to you that this is what I really think~"

"Of course I believe it..."

"Don't refuse in a hurry~"

He knew what Ye Cang wanted to say, but he still interrupted her and continued:

"You should also understand that it is too easy for people to get lost with too much power. Keeping these notes separately is also for safety reasons."

"……Um."

Hearing what he said, Ye Cang stopped trying to shirk, and instead solemnly put away the thirty-centimeter metal rod from the hem of his uniform.

Obviously she also knew that Senju Maysuki gave her this note not only for so-called safety considerations, but also for trust in her!

"Okay~"

Seeing her performance like this, although she wanted to know where Ye Cang had hidden the notes, for the sake of her "good teacher" image, Senju Maysuki still picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said :

"Now that things at the base are settled, we can start taking the next step."

After saying that, he signaled Ye Cang to wait, and he got up and went back to the bedroom and dug out a book that looked quite old from the cabinet.

"At your level, you must already know about the 'tailed beasts', right?"

"Well, it is said that it seems that the First Hokage distributed it to each village, the one tail of Sunagakure Village, the nine tails of Konoha Village, the four tails and five tails of Iwagakure Village, etc."

Taking the book with one hand, he opened it and saw that it contained the legend and rough drawing of the tailed beast.

"what do you mean?"

"Your next mission is to find someone in the Grass Ninja Village and bring her to the base... no matter what method you use."

"who?"

"A little girl with red hair, Uzumaki Uzumaki."
