Ninjas have good physical fitness. Given that their average life expectancy is not high, the growth rate of children is slightly faster than when they did not have extraordinary powers in their previous life.

In Mizuki's opinion, Xiao Meixing's size is equivalent to that of a kindergarten graduate in her previous life, and she should be attending elementary school or a kindergarten-primary school transition class.

Moonlight Gale's daughter is about the same age, about one year younger than Miyuki and not much shorter. It looks like she should be about the same age as Miyuki by this time next year.

Two years later, Miyuki was old enough to go to Ninja School.

"It's been so long without me noticing!"

From being alone to starting a family, he ran around everywhere, exhausted all his energy, and did a lot of things in advance relying on the information in his memory.

From the life-and-death crisis at the beginning to gradually eliminating the butterfly effect caused by his own actions, the Fourth Ninja War would not become the end of the Ninja World.

Mizuki even prepared for the worst.

But looking back, why did I work so hard in the first place?

"Having obtained Long, one desires Shu. The ancients really did not get angry with me!"

"What?"

Asuma Sarutobi, who was standing nearby, couldn't hear clearly what Mizuki was muttering, so he moved over to look at Mizuki.

"Stay away from me, you greasy middle-aged uncle, don't get so close to me."

Shuimu reached out and moved the big bearded mouth aside with disgust.

"Just say whatever you want to say. Beating around the bush is so different from your image."

"Really? Haha... I can't hide it from you!"

To be honest, among the ninjas of Konoha Village, apart from Umino Iruka, with whom he has built a close relationship since childhood, the best relationship is between Hatake Kakashi, Yamashiro Aoba, and Gekko Hayate.

Mizuki didn't dislike Asuma Sarutobi, but he wasn't very familiar with him either.

Normally everyone is very busy and we don't get to interact with each other very often, but compared to others, he is a rare colleague with whom I can talk.

"I heard you and Kakashi had a falling out?"

"No, there's just some contradictions and misunderstandings between us!"

Shuimudao did not lie about this, it's just that the friendship level has dropped from trust to friendliness. It's far from being so bad as falling out.

"You are really well-informed!"

"After all, I am also a member of the family, and my father is the Hokage. There are some things that I can't be bothered by."

Asuma Sarutobi put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can in front of a business on the road.

"Sometimes, there are always conflicts between the village and the ninjas below. Just like me, I once ran away from home and only returned to the village a few years ago. It really feels like a lifetime ago!"

Most of the people who can recall the past have died in the war. Most of the guardian ninjas of the Fire Country Daimyo died in the war and then scattered and disappeared. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has been dead for more than three years. There are many more. Some have married and had children. Of course, there are still many who are still single and have no place to go.

Shuimu quietly listened to the complaints of this guy who looked a year older and was actually nearly a year younger than Shuimu.

"It's hard for me to continue talking if you don't respond! Hayate and Kakashi are right. It's really tiring to talk to you without a big heart."

"The Fifth Generation asked you to be a lobbyist. You are the wrong person. You are not suitable for this job!"

"It wasn't Lady Tsunade who asked me to do this. I came here on my own initiative!"

The mission at the front line is so heavy, and there are so many things to deal with, but I am waiting here for Shuimu, not just to chat!

The two people who were strolling were talking. In the small shop in front, Miyuki and Nagi came out together, each holding a lollipop in their mouths. After speaking to each other in low voices for a few words, they walked towards the Ninja School hand in hand.

The Fourth Ninja World War is approaching. In addition to the ninjas on the front lines, there are also many elderly, weak, women and children who do not participate in the battle and need to be properly arranged. Umino Iruka and Gekko Hayate, who have been acting as evacuees, have also been overwhelmed recently.

The Ninja School has been very busy lately, with young children often coming to watch older students perform.

In Konoha Village, there is no child who has not played ninja games. Going to see how children in the ninja school learn and then coming back to imitate the games has been a tradition that has been popular in the village for decades.

"This time next year, I will be a father too."

Asuma Sarutobi watched the two girls walk away with envy.

"The conflict between me and the old man of the third generation was actually about the disagreement on 'jade', but now I have figured it out..."

"Seeing you come back to lead the team, get married and have kids, and let me see all this, I can guess what you want to say!"

“Ahem…”

The words that he had been brewing for a long time were just held back, and Asuma Sarutobi could no longer hold it in.

"My body is really not in good condition. I can't bear even the slightest impact. I should smoke less in the future..."

"Can't you just let me finish my words?"

"Didn't you just tell me to let you take over so that you can continue the conversation?"

"Well, it's my fault..."

I used to think Shuimu was a very easy-going person, but it seems I was really blind before.

Shuimu didn't bother to care because what he said before was insignificant. Now, this bearded man actually wanted to do "ideological work" on Shuimu. Shuimu also admired the bearded man's good self-esteem. It seemed that after he succeeded in catching Xihihong, his self-confidence was boosted.

The mental states of singles and winners in life are indeed different.

"Let me make it short. Whether it's Kakashi or Tsunade-sama, I hope you don't misunderstand them. Everything is for the future of the village..."

"I know!"

The world is ours and yours, but ultimately it is yours.

This bearded man's explanation of the meaning of "jade" couldn't be clearer.

The future belongs to children and to inheritance. This is also the concept that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has been promoting all his life. It is normal that it is now deeply rooted in people's hearts.

For someone like Mizuki, who has studied most of the social ecology of the ninja world, it would be strange if he couldn't see through the essence.

"Anyway, thank you for your warning, but..."

Shuimu rarely smiled.

"I think you are still too worried. It seems that I am usually too low-key, so you don't know what I am thinking. The misunderstanding comes from the lack of communication. I am also responsible for this. However, I hope everyone understands that I am also a Konoha ninja, and this is my home..."

Tsunade, Jiraiya and Kakashi Hatake did not really think that Mizuki would threaten Konoha Village, but some things were not entirely up to one's will, and it was too idealistic to expect that no one would pick up things on the road or lock their doors at night.

Decent families would still lock their doors at night, not to prevent villains, but to prevent gentlemen.

"It seems that I have been a little too nosy..."

After Mizuki said this, Asuma Sarutobi really blushed.

"I thought you, a guy who rarely interacts with people, would be hard to convince. I didn't expect that I was overthinking it."

Shuimu waved his hand indifferently:

"In fact, I'm kind of happy that you can come. Having a simple-minded guy like you can highlight my intelligence, right? Why do you think Gekko Hayate and Yamashiro Aoba didn't come? Even Iruka didn't come..."

"Except for Kakashi, the others probably don't know what happened, right?"

"Well?"

It was a rare opportunity to complain, and the bearded man finally managed to turn the tables.
