Tsunade saw that little Itachi and Rourou got along well, so she said with a smile, "Rourou, you talk with your Itachi brother for a while first. I'll go wait for you under that tree over there. Remember, not too long, okay? Your Itachi brother still has work to do."
After speaking, Tsunade picked up the milk tea and walked towards the big tree. Uchiha Ju nodded. "Okay." After responding to her mother, she looked at Uchiha Itachi.
At that moment, a sweet-looking little girl suddenly ran over. Her attire attracted Uchiha Ju's attention. She seemed to be Itachi brother's colleague.
"Itachi-kun, why did you run over here? Huh? Who is this little girl?" Uchiha Izumi tilted her head and asked.
Uchiha Itachi was about to answer when Uchiha Ju reached out her hand. "Hello, sister. I am Uchiha Ju."
"Uchiha Ju... why does this name sound so familiar?" Uchiha Izumi began to recall.
Then her eyes widened. It seemed, the Hokage had a daughter named Uchiha Ju. Then, looking at Uchiha Ju's height, she instantly understood the girl's identity.
She was Uchiha Ju, the Hokage's biological daughter!
"Hello, I am Uchiha Izumi." Uchiha Izumi smiled sweetly. Seeing the pretty sister being so easy to talk to, Uchiha Ju's eyes lit up. "Mhm, mhm, Izumi sister. Please guide me more in the future!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Izumi didn't dare to act presumptuously and quickly responded, "Of course, of course. Why is Miss Rourou here?"
"Oh, Mom and I were planning to buy a gift for Dad. Dad has been on a business trip for a long time and hasn't come back yet. Mom and I want to give him a surprise." Uchiha Ju seemed to have no guard against people, saying whatever others asked.
"Izumi sister, what about you? Why are you here? Is the shop too busy? Does Itachi brother need to step in?" Although Uchiha Ju was young, she was very clever.
Uchiha Izumi nodded, then looked at Uchiha Itachi. "Itachi-kun, you should hurry back. Many customers specifically request you to make the milk tea. They won't drink or buy it if others make it!"
After speaking, her eyes carried urgency. Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi frowned. He looked at Uchiha Ju, not really wanting to go back.
But at that moment, Uchiha Ju tugged at his clothes. "Itachi brother, hurry and go! Don't keep people waiting!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi relaxed. After thinking it over, he said, "Alright. Then, Rourou, stick close to Granny Tsunade later. In Konoha, no one dares to touch your Granny Tsunade!"
"Okay, I know, Itachi brother! You go quickly!" As she spoke, Uchiha Ju, completely indifferent to gender distinctions, directly pushed Uchiha Itachi, making him go to work.
Uchiha Itachi smiled wryly. He didn't know why these people insisted he do it. The taste was clearly the same! And because of this, he had neglected Uchiha Ju.
Uchiha Izumi saw Uchiha Itachi's reluctance, and also that Uchiha Itachi seemed excessively doting on Uchiha Ju. This, could it be that Itachi-kun likes Uchiha Ju?
The moment this thought appeared, Uchiha Izumi shook her head. How could that be! She and Uchiha Itachi were in the same year, a full five years older than Uchiha Ju.
Uchiha Itachi hated trouble the most, especially from children. How could he possibly like Uchiha Ju.
"In that case, then, goodbye Rourou." Uchiha Itachi said slowly, then headed towards his work station without waiting for Uchiha Izumi.
Uchiha Izumi bowed to Uchiha Ju, then followed.
Uchiha Ju looked at the two of them, her smiling face gradually fading. For some reason, she felt a little unhappy.
Her eyes felt a bit itchy. Forget it, stop thinking about it! Go buy Dad's gift!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Ju walked towards where Tsunade was resting.
Tsunade looked at the bustling streets of Konoha Village, filled with crowds and traffic, and a sense of pride welled up in her heart.
This was all the achievement of Ryun. Implementing benevolent governance, pursuing reform, allowing the people to rest and recuperate. If Hashirama Senju was the great figure who founded Konoha, then Ryun was the one who revitalized Konoha!
In terms of influence, perhaps Ryun was not as great as Hashirama Senju. But in terms of accomplishments, Ryun surpassed Hashirama Senju by quite a bit.
What Hashirama Senju achieved was bringing everyone together. What Ryun achieved was making everyone prosperous and strong.
After a short while, Uchiha Ju came over, making Tsunade slightly surprised. She didn't expect it to be so quick. She thought the two would talk for a long time!
"Why are you back so soon?" Tsunade asked.
"Itachi brother is busy. I was afraid of disturbing him." Uchiha Ju pouted.
Seeing this, Tsunade pursed her lips into a smile. "Be good, Rourou. School starts tomorrow. You'll be able to see your Teacher Itachi at school."
Tsunade didn't mind either, then took her small hand and continued shopping.
Finally, the two decided to buy Ryun a watch. For a man outside, what he can show off is nothing more than shoes and watches. Although the definition of a watch is telling time, with social development, watches gradually became a symbol of wealth and status.
Now there are mobile phones, which can also tell time. But they cannot replace the existence of watches, precisely for this reason.
The two now got up and walked towards the watch shop.
Outside the village
Ryun led a group of people to the forest of the Land of Fire. After a short distance, they would reach the Land of Fire. At that moment, three people appeared in the air.
"Hey, hey, you two little fish, you really are persistent!" The speaker threw out a red fish hook towards one of the long-haired young men.
Ryun's pupils contracted. This is... He suddenly spoke. "Everyone, return to the village. Activate the first-level alert status!"
Hatake Sakumo's pupils contracted. He looked at Ryun and saw Ryun's face full of gravity. How many years had it been? How many years had it been since Hatake Sakumo had seen Ryun with this expression!
He understood that the people in the sky were not opponents they could contend with. So he took a deep breath. "Everyone, follow me back to Konoha!"
Namikaze Minato still wanted to say something, but the next moment, a figure was thrown in front of him.
The youth wore a Konoha forehead protector. Looking at the youth now, his heart stirred. He murmured, "Naruto..."
Hearing the name Naruto, the youth opened his eyes. He looked at Namikaze Minato and also felt a familiar feeling. "Mister, who are you?"
"Minato, retreat quickly!" Hatake Sakumo spoke. Namikaze Minato gritted his teeth and grabbed the youth who bore a ninety percent resemblance to his son.
"We'll talk after we go back. Come with me now!" Namikaze Minato grabbed the youth's collar. "Everyone, gather around me!" He shouted.
Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, and Hatake Kakashi all gathered close.
"Put your hands on me!" Namikaze Minato roared. The others complied.
But the next second, a flash of golden light shone, taking everyone, including the youth, away from the spot, flying towards Konoha Village.
Seeing everyone leave, Ryun sighed in relief. Looking at the two fiercely fighting in the air, he became tense. This was Ōtsutsuki Urashiki!
He had pale skin and light blue long hair tied in a high ponytail. He had no eyebrows, two round dots on his forehead, and two horns shaped like forehead protectors on his head (later, the right horn was broken by Boruto).
He now had a smile on his lips. His words were very polite, but his tone was a bit mocking. "Hey, hey, Sasuke-kun, why do you have to be like this? I mean you no harm, yet you insist on chasing me until now!"
"Enough nonsense! You have already seriously affected the peace of the ninja world and the stability of Konoha. Surrender!" Uchiha Sasuke teleported in front of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki shook his head. "You still haven't learned your lesson!" Immediately, he manipulated the fish hook, making it pass through Sasuke's body, then hooking out a wisp of purple chakra.
"Tsk, tsk, it really is delicious. I can even taste the flavor of that traitor Kaguya from within." Ōtsutsuki Urashiki collected the chakra into his fish basket.
He looked at Sasuke, who was now somewhat weakened from chakra loss. "Well, that Rinnegan ability of yours is really quite troublesome. How about today, I send you to the Pure Land!"
Just then, Ryun made his move! Sage Mode, activate! Golden dragon scale armor covered his body. His pupils changed from black to red. One tomoe, two tomoe, three tomoe, Mangekyō!
Finally, to the golden Rinnegan. Aura fully unleashed!
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki had noticed Ryun, this native, earlier. He didn't care at first, thinking it was just some small fry. Since that's the case, let these small fry of the native world witness the demeanor of a celestial being.
But now, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was immediately attracted by this power. He stopped caring about Sasuke and instead looked at Ryun, who had fully activated Sage Mode.
"Oh? You have a power from the same source as that little guy (Mitsuki)! But yours is more primitive, more pure!" Urashiki praised.
He looked at Ryun, whose skin tone was now similar to his own. But the next moment, he sniffed the air.
"This is!!! The scent of seven tailed beasts! Your body contains the chakra of seven tailed beasts! Including the Nine-Tails!!!! As long as I capture you, our plan can be completed!" Ōtsutsuki Urashiki laughed heartily, swinging his fish hook as he charged towards Ryun.
"Let me see what chakra I'll draw this time! Hahahaha! Tsk, tsk, this feeling of drawing a blind box is really tense and exciting!" Ōtsutsuki Urashiki trembled all over, his Byakugan opened to the extreme!
But Ryun merely raised his hands. "Magnet Release, Great Wind Curtain!"
A curtain of iron sand, made of magnetic sand, rose from the ground, soaring thirty feet high!
The iron sand bounced the fish hook back, displeasing Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. Tsk, this person knows Magnet Release. It seems it will take some effort to deal with him.
After the Great Wind Curtain disappeared, Ryun's figure slowly appeared. His golden Rinnegan was now also seen by Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
"What! A golden Rinnegan! Are you one of our clan members?" Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was somewhat incredulous. However, Ryun did not intend to answer him.
The next moment, Ryun fully activated his golden Rinnegan. "Pressure!"
Instantly, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki knelt on the ground. An immense pressure emanated from Ryun, leaving him with nowhere to hide now!
His Byakugan instantly turned into blue Rinnegan. He wanted to use his time reversal ability to find a way to break this move.
But in the next instant, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
