Chapter nine hundred and sixty sixth place of return
"Hey! It's Yahiko!"
Uzumaki Makoto glanced around and saw Yahiko's table. He smiled, first said hello, then slowly came over, took off his sunglasses, and waved to the young man following behind:
"Come on, come on, Naoshu, you probably haven't seen each other for a long time - your brother Yahiko and sister-in-law Xiaonan, come and meet them quickly, what are you saying in such a procrastinating way?"
"I'm obviously older, right?" Naoki couldn't help but complain. He first greeted Yahiko Konan, and after being polite, they took off the two bags on their backs, and finally said to
Uzumaki Makoto complained:
"By the way, my Lord Cheng, it's fine that you didn't help me carry these two things along the way. Why do you still scold me for procrastination? Do you really not know how heavy they are?"
The two large packages placed on the ground were covered with white bandages. From their outlines, they could be vaguely seen as human-shaped objects. After observing them for a moment, Yahiko felt that they looked a bit like the puppets of the former Sunagakure Village, and he suddenly felt a little surprised.
Listening to the unintentional exchange between Uzumaki Makoto and Naoki, we know that these two things are not owned by Naoki. Could it be that Senior Makoto has stayed in Feng Province for a long time and fell in love with the technique of puppetry?
"It's a good thing for young people to exercise more. This is equivalent to helping you train your body skills. If Tsunade knows about it, she will definitely thank me."
Uzumaki Makoto finished taking a puff of cigarette leisurely and glanced at Kakuzu inadvertently, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Eh? Aren't you Kakuzu?" Recalling Kakuzu's message, Uzumaki Makoto put down his cigar a little, and his expression became more serious. Kakuzu happened to be observing him, and the two immediately looked at each other.
Kakuzu knew a little bit about Uzumaki Makoto, and understood that he was a big shot who controlled the core power of the Wind Province and was at the top of the Fire Nation's military. His status was much higher than Yahiko's. As for his personality...
It is said that he is good at dancing and well-rounded. Although he is over fifty years old, he is still active in the political circles of the Fire Country and is quite trusted by Lei Luo. He is a veritable old fox.
In terms of strength... although it is still unknown, it is definitely very strong.
"Hello."
After greeting him stiffly, he noticed that Uzumaki Makoto was looking at him as if he were looking at a precious animal. Kakuzu felt uncomfortable all over and decisively looked away.
"Senior Makoto, are you going back to your country?" Sensing the awkward atmosphere between Uzumaki Makoto and Kakuzu, Yahiko smiled and smoothed things over. While chatting with Uzumaki Makoto, he motioned for Konan to move another table.
The two tables merged into one, and Uzumaki Makoto and Naoki sat down one after another. The waiter quickly served the dishes, and soon the two tables were filled with 100,000 taels of dishes, which were really all kinds of delicacies.
"Well... I'm really planning to go back this time. I didn't expect to meet you two by chance while taking a break in Rain Province."
After taking a sip of sake, he put the cigar into his mouth again. Uzumaki Makoto answered Yahiko vaguely, and glanced at Kakuzu from time to time.
Thick smoke filled the sky above the dazzling array of dishes.
Yahiko Kakuzu and Naoki didn't react at all, but Konan frowned nicely, but she also knew the identity of Uzumaki Makoto, and it was hard to get angry in such a situation, so she had to endure it secretly, and quietly fanned her mouth and nose.
.
‘It was the same for Hinata Tamaki back then, and it’s the same for Uzumaki Makoto now… Why is it that Mr. Lei Luo is surrounded by a bunch of weird people?’ Konan, who was secretly complaining, did not attract the attention of Uzumaki Makoto and others.
The few people chatted and chatted, and soon figured out their respective goals and itineraries. Uzumaki Makoto learned that Yahiko and his wife planned to go to Konoha soon, and immediately expressed that they would stay in Rain Province for a few days, and then both parties would take the train back together.
"Senior Cheng, will this not delay your business?"
Yahiko looked a little embarrassed, not because he didn't want to go with Uzumaki Makoto, but because he understood that because of the high authority of the direction, there must be urgent matters to deal with when leaving Feng Province to return to the country this time.
And I still have a lot of work to arrange, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in a hurry.
"It's okay, it's okay. Lei Luo is not in a hurry. It doesn't matter whether it's earlier or later." Uzumaki Cheng waved his hands casually, appearing unhurried, then turned his head and looked at Kakuzu with a burning gaze:
"Kakuzu, if you want to find a serious job, why not come to my place? There will be a big action in a while, and you should have a chance to perform."
Since Yahiko had just introduced Kakuzu and mentioned Kakuzu's situation, Uzumaki Makoto couldn't help but think about it and wanted to bring him under his control.
After all, he is a film-level master. Although his stance is not firm, he may not be able to become his right-hand man with good training.
Although Kakuzu didn't trust Uzumaki Makoto very much, the other party's attitude was quite sincere when he spoke. Considering that he had nowhere to go, Yahiko didn't seem to want to take him in, so he simply agreed.
Afterwards, the two parties discussed the treatment issue at the dinner table. Thanks to Uzumaki Makoto's high bid, Kakuzu also sincerely had the idea of serving. After such a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Next, five days passed in a hurry. As expected, Uzumaki Makoto was not in a hurry to return home. He just spent the whole day sightseeing in the rain province. In addition to the hard-working rope tree, he also had a thug and bodyguard Kakuzu with him.
With Uzumaki Makoto's wisdom in the city, within a few days, various methods of kindness and power were used one after another to initially win over Kakuzu's heart, making Kakuzu truly believe that there is a future for following Uzumaki Makoto.
On the other side, Yahiko was busy arranging work and went to see Uzumaki and the others in his spare time. Seeing Naoki carrying the two puppets all day long, he finally couldn't help but be curious and asked Uzumaki about it.
In this regard, Uzumaki Makoto behaved very strangely. He just smiled meaningfully and did not give an answer. He just said "You will know soon" and let it go, leaving Yahiko confused.
A week passed like this, after Yahiko finished all the work, he took his wife Konan, and Uzumaki Makoto and the three of them boarded the train, and rushed to the capital amidst the sound of the whistle, and then changed the route and headed for Konoha Village.
When they arrived at the main gate of Konoha, Minato received the news from somewhere and personally welcomed Yahiko Uzumaki and Makoto Uzumaki out of the village. They exchanged greetings and prepared to go to the Railuo mansion together.
Among them, Kakuzu was embarrassed when he saw Lei Luo again, so he took the first step to say goodbye to Uzumaki Makoto, planning to wait at the hotel until the other party had finished talking, but Uzumaki Makoto did not hold anything back and decisively let him go.
At the door of Lei Luo's mansion, Uzumaki Makoto knocked first. After waiting for a while, he saw a maid opening the door. After a brief communication between the two parties, he realized that Lei Luo was not at home today. Minato guessed that the teacher had probably gone to the research institute to practice, so he thought
Come back another day.
But Uzumaki Cheng was unwilling to give up. He used his ability to sense and found that Lei Luo was not staying inside the Research Institute, but was wandering around the Research Institute, staying with another person.
The two groups of chakra sometimes converge and sometimes separate. The scene seems to be fighting?
