Uchiha's opinion

Jilai also couldn't remember how long he hadn't returned to the village.

Since the end of the Second Ninja World War, since the dream lover Tsunade and Kato Dan officially confirmed their relationship, Jiraiya, who seems to be indifferent on the surface, just found an excuse to stay in the country of rain, and taught himself what to collect by the way. Two apprentices.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to bring the two of them back to the village to join Konoha, but following the Konoha civil war, his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into the hands of Uchiha Tokumitsu, so he had no choice but to give up.

After a round of language output by Uchiha Tokumitsu, he suddenly felt a little homesick, so he came up with the idea of ​​going back to the village to see.

It's just human nature to be timid when you are close to your hometown.

Standing in a small hill about three kilometers away from Konoha, Zilai also looked at the shadowy Konoha city wall in the distance, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

In what state did he return to Konoha?

A disciple of the third Sarutobi Hiruzen?

One of the so-called "Three Ninjas" bestowed after being defeated by Sanshoyu Hanzo?

Or just an ordinary Konoha Jōnin?

Just when Ji Lai was at a loss, a patrol came roaring.

The leading Uchiha ninja obviously knew Jiraiya, the former big man, so he just asked a few casually, and then led the team roaring away.

Jilai also touched the oily forehead protector on his forehead, feeling even more confused.

Although I was somewhat psychologically prepared for my current embarrassing status, being so ignored still made Zilai feel a little overwhelmed.

Although Jiraiya in the past also acted approachable, it was just his performance. In fact, because of his identity and strength, most Konoha ninjas were in awe of him.

Suddenly being treated like an ordinary person, Zilai also felt a little uncomfortable.

But then Zilai adjusted his mood and walked towards Konoha.

...

Konoha is still so prosperous.

As if the streets are full of illegal buildings, the Konoha central business district is still crowded with people and bustling.

Jiraiya restrained his breath and walked silently on the street.

Like a solitary recluse who suddenly walks into a bustling city, he seems a bit out of place.

Konoha is more prosperous than before.

Jiraiya looked around, and among the crowd, whether it was a wealthy businessman wearing a gold belt or a silver belt, a villager in plain but neat clothes, or a teenager in Konoha running back and forth, everyone was full of energy and high spirits.

This seems to be a little different from the Konoha in Jiraiya's impression.

He originally thought that after the civil war, Konoha might go through a period of martial law, and the streets of the village would be a bit more depressed, but he didn't expect it to be more bustling than before.

So what exactly is the problem.

Jilai also stood on the spot and observed carefully, but he still couldn't see why.

If we talk about the biggest change in Konoha, it is that there are more police officers patrolling the streets.

Although most of them are low-level ninjas with mediocre strength, the number is many times greater than before.

Ji Lai also stood at a corner to observe. In about ten minutes, two teams of police officers had passed by on the street.

"Even the patrol density has increased a lot compared to before..."

Zilai also silently calculated.

He didn't know what he was calculating, he just subconsciously noticed the difference from the past Konoha.

Moreover, through the various hair colors and body shapes of the patrolling police officers on the street, it is not difficult to see that many of them are not from the Uchiha tribe; The Uchiha clan is regarded as a taboo to isolate outsiders.

According to the intelligence analysis that Jiraiya once learned, it should be the so-called police cadets who graduated from the police preparatory school of the Uchiha clan.

Silently perceiving it, Jilai also found that the strength of those police school students is not bad, whether it is Chakra fluctuation or vigilance, they are remarkable, at least much better than those graduates of the ninja school who only know three bodies.

And the sharp-eyed Jilai also noticed various notices posted on a bulletin board on the opposite side of the road at this time.

Although the coming and going of people was somewhat blocked, he still saw several titles on the bulletin board.

"Resolution on Strengthening Konoha Security and Sanitation Management..."

"Notice of the Ministry of Police on Severely Cracking Down on Counterfeit Manufacturing and Selling..."

"Konoha Ninja Beast Breeding and Management Treaty..."

"It is forbidden to beat and scold foreign merchants at will..."

Although I know every word, but when put together, it is a little different from Konoha's previous grammatical habits, and it is even a bit awkward to read.

All of this is somewhat different from the Konoha in his impression...

I was even more confused.

What happened to the village?

"...how long are you going to stand here, idiot?"

A sudden voice came from behind Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's neck tightened, and he immediately shrank his head and rushed forward, trying to escape the normal range of ninja sword swings.

"it's me!"

A cold, pale hand pressed onto Jiraiya's shoulder, stopping his movements.

Although he did the mental calculation without intention, it can also be seen from this that the strength of the incoming person is still higher than that of Jiraiya.

"It's you……"

Feeling the familiar cold palm touch, Zilai also breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing his tense nerves: "Oshemaru...how come you are still so elusive!"

Jiraiya turned around and punched the thin and thin Orochimaru on the shoulder.

Orochimaru didn't move, just looked at him like a fool.

"Hey! How did you know I'm back?"

Ji Lai also pretended to be vicious and said, "Have you been paying attention to me?"

"Also... isn't the village under control of psychic beasts? How dare you put snakes everywhere in the village?"

Zilai also pointed to the bulletin board on the opposite side of the road.

"Don't change the subject on purpose..."

Orochimaru frowned and said, "You've been wandering outside for too long, you've lost touch with the village!"

Although Jiraiya's punch on the shoulder just now didn't move his body, he still felt some pain.

"The strength of this idiot has increased again..."

Orochimaru thought silently.

Perhaps, there is still a chance for my plan...

But after thinking about it, even my teacher fell into the hands of Uchiha Tokumitsu. With my own strength, even if I add Jiraiya, this idiot, how can I win Uchiha Tokumitsu?

"Let's go..."

Orochimaru turned and left.

"Hey! You haven't said how you found me!"

Jilai also hurriedly followed, hooked Orochimaru's neck, and said carelessly: "Isn't that little brat Uchiha Tokumitsu not allowed to release psychics in the village..."

Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru covered his mouth.

"You are really stupid!"

Orochimaru scolded angrily: "Swearing in the village, do you want to go to the prison of the police department to eat free prison meals!"

"Wooooow!"

Jiraiya also struggled a bit, and Dashemaru let go of his palm. By the way, I wiped it on the white clothes without leaving any traces.

"This idiot is really greasy..."

Orochimaru cursed in his heart.

"Hey! You still haven't said how you know me~"

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru expectantly.

Leaves are leaves.

People are still those people.

But Konoha is no longer the same Konoha as before.

After returning to the village full of apprehension, Zilai finally met an acquaintance he cared about, so naturally he felt very different.

"Did you encounter a police patrol from the police department outside the village?"

Orochimaru said angrily.

"Yes~"

Ji Lai also suddenly realized, "Did they tell you?"

"It's really cheap!"

"It doesn't look like a cold Uchiha with such a broken mouth."

"By the way, what's going on with the police patrol force? Is it a new institution in the village?"

"Isn't the power of the Uchiha clan so great?"

"I heard that senior Sakumo and the patriarch of the Uchiha clan served as the so-called speakers of the two houses. Why does it seem that it is all about the Uchiha clan?"

Jiraiya kept talking non-stop, and didn't care whether Orochimaru replied, but just poured out his own words.

Orochimaru stopped in his tracks.

"...You live here? Isn't it?"

Asked without knowing why.

"...You can die if you don't say a few words!"

Orochimaru said helplessly: "Also, don't be too unscrupulous, the village is different from before..."

"By the way, there are sky eyes everywhere now, stop peeping at Nutang!"

After finishing speaking, Orochimaru continued to walk forward.

"Eye of the sky? What is the eye of the sky?"

Jilai also hurriedly followed in Orochimaru's footsteps.

"...Come back and talk to me!"

Orochimaru, who was so noisy that he couldn't love him, finally lost his temper.
