The next day, early in the morning.
Uchiha Tunan got up and packed his things.
Before leaving, he came to the altar with wooden carvings and lit three sticks of incense.
“I’m leaving, there’s a lot to do this time.
I'm afraid I won't be back for a while.
If you miss me, remember to contact me through your dreams. "
After speaking, he bowed three times to a row of lifelike statues and placed incense for these relatives, friends and loved ones.
Three hours later.
Uchiha Tunan stood quietly under the big tree at the entrance of the village and waited.
At the street intersection, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Asuma arrived belatedly.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was seen stroking Asuma's hair with a doting look on his face and saying:
"Asma, if you stay in bed again, I won't take you anywhere."
Asuma slapped Sarutobi Shinnosuke's hand away with an impatient look and said:
"Okay, okay, I understand. I was so excited last night that I had insomnia in the first half of the night."
The two came to the entrance of the village, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke said to Uchiha Tunan with an apologetic expression:
"Sorry for the waitting."
Uchiha Tunan adjusted his glasses, shook his head gently and said, "It doesn't matter, I just arrived not long ago."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled slightly and tugged on Asuma's clothes.
"Asma, Tunan is your classmate, why don't you say hello."
"snort."
Although Asuma and Uchiha Tunan are classmates, for some reason, she seems to have a problem with Uchiha Tunan and doesn't even look at him.
Uchiha Tunan just narrowed his eyes and smiled, not angry.
I have already guessed the general reason in my heart.
However, Uchiha Tunan did not expect that Asuma would also go to the Fire City.
If things go well, it just so happens that the two of them can pack together.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly interrupted the topic:
"Let's go. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime on the way."
The three of them finished registering to leave the village at the village entrance registration office, then left Konoha and set off for the City of Fire.
Not far out of the barrier, Uchiha Tunan slowed down slightly and looked back.
At the end of the street, a figure flashed away.
Uchiha Tunan silently turned his back, waved, and continued walking forward.
...
A few days later, the three finally arrived in the City of Fire.
The City of Fire is located in the plains, with villages and towns of various sizes scattered around outside the city.
These villages and towns did not originally exist.
The main reason is that every inch of land in the Fire City is precious, and the people living in the city are either ninja family members or high-ranking officials.
This has led many people to choose to live in these villages and towns outside the city, and only enter the city when they work and do business.
The three of them quickly arrived at the southern gate of the City of Fire.
The soldiers at the city gate said to the three people as usual:
"Register in town."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out his identification card and gave it to the soldier for a look.
The soldier immediately nodded and bowed: "It turns out to be Shinnosuke-sama, please come in quickly."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke turned his head to Uchiha Tunan and said, "I will take you to join the Fifth Guards Mansion first."
Then he led the two of them into the City of Fire.
The three of them were walking on the street. The vendors who set up stalls along the street were all shouting loudly, smiling, and soliciting business from customers.
Asuma has stayed in Konoha Village since he was a child, and has never seen such a prosperous scene.
With a look of shock on his face, he muttered one sentence repeatedly.
"Wow, the Fire City is so big."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke glanced at Uchiha Tunan, who had a calm expression, and then at Asuma, who kept marveling.
I secretly wonder why there is such a big difference in demeanor between the two of them despite being of the same age.
"The Fire City is the largest and most prosperous city in the ninja world. You won't be surprised if you get used to it."
At this time, Uchiha Tunan asked:
"Sennosuke-senpai, I heard that you are the legendary Twelve Guardians."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and said:
“That’s right, the Twelve Guardians are dedicated to guarding the daimyo.
Of course, we don’t usually need so many people.
Generally speaking, we work in two shifts.
At any time, four people must guard the daimyo, one person must guard the first highness, and one person must guard the second highness. "
Uchiha Tunan asked in confusion: "Your Highness and His Highness?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled slightly and said:
"Yes, my strength is relatively weak among the twelve warriors.
Therefore, I am responsible for protecting His Highness's safety at night. "
When Asma heard this, she immediately muttered: "Why do you sound so useless?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke did not expect that his brother would dismantle him in front of outsiders. His face turned slightly red and he explained:
"What do you know? The daimyo will abdicate in a few years, and then His Highness will inherit the daimyo's position.
Your Highness now represents the future of the Fire Nation. Do you think anyone can do this task? "
Uchiha Tunan's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked with confusion: "Why can't His Highness inherit the position of Daimyo?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke scratched his head, thought for a moment, and explained:
"Generally speaking, the eldest son inherits, and all signs indicate that the daimyo wants His Highness to inherit."
Uchiha Tunan nodded and stopped asking.
But Asuma seemed to have opened up a conversation, pestering Sarutobi Shinnosuke and asked:
"Which is better, the Daimyo or the Hokage?"
“Of course they are famous, but the gap in status between the two is not too big.
Nowadays, the Ninja world implements the one-country-one-village system. If there is a village, there must be a country, but if there is a country, there may not be a village.
The village cannot do without the country's economic help, and the country needs the village's military support. "
"Then why can't the Hokage be a daimyo?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke covered Asuma's mouth and warned with a serious look:
"Shut up! Don't say these things outside in the future. It will cause trouble."
.......
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the service hall of Wuwei Mansion.
The staff here recognized Sarutobi Shinnosuke at a glance, stood up immediately and bowed:
"Sir Shinnosuke."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded, pointed at Uchiha Tunan next to him and said:
"This is your new captain, Konoha Chuunin Uchiha Tunan.
This is his job list, please confirm it. "
With that said, he handed the job slip to the staff.
After the staff confirmed that it was correct, they quickly registered Uchiha Tunan's information in the register.
Then he bowed towards Uchiha Tunan and said:
"I have met Lord Tunan."
Uchiha Tunan smiled gently, bowed towards the other party and said:
"Please give me more advice in the future."
"Tunan, I will take Asma out for a while first.
I live just east of Daming Mansion. If you need anything, you can..."
Before Sarutobi Shinnosuke could finish speaking, he was pulled away by Asuma who wanted to go out to play.
Uchiha Tunan watched the two people leave, the smile on his face gradually faded, and an inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Uchiha Tunan standing there without speaking, the staff cautiously said:
"Um...Master Tunan, may I take you to your mansion now?"
Uchiha Tunan turned his head, his face returning to its usual gentle expression.
"Then it's all your fault."
