Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 367

The city gate knight looked at a group of women who suddenly came up from below the steps.

They were a pair of weary noble ladies and their maid.

The one speaking was the noble lady dressed in gorgeous clothes.

A pair of white silk gloves held up her long skirt, and a maid helped her lift the hem of her skirt.

"My name is Mukai Haruka. I'm from the Land of Earth. I've known Shirahoshi-nii for a long time. Could you let me into the inner city for a look?"

The city gate knight looked at Uchiha Mikoto and the others again, with an expression that said, "You see what I mean?"

The Uchiha group: "..."

Holy crap! How could this happen?! Where are the morals? Where are the bottom lines? Where is the dignity? Where are the solutions?!

"But we really know each other," Mikoto still refused to give up.

Haruka Mukai looked at Mikoto: "Eh?! You know Shirahoshi-nii too, sister. Hello. I'm Haruka Mukai, the eldest daughter of the Mukai family in the Land of Earth. I met Shirahoshi-nii in a dark and windy night, and then we...we..."

Mikoto: "..."

Who are you!

"The Mukai family? So they're from the Mukai Group." Uchiha Fu also remembered the name.

"Do you know Feng Ye?" Uchiha En asked.

"Yes. It's a well-known real estate company that specializes in building houses. But given the design sophistication of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, they probably didn't need this group of people."

"No, that's not true! Brother Shirahoshi needs me!"

As Little Green Tea spoke, the City Gate Knight not only reported to the National Security Knights, but also received their next orders.

"Cough cough."

"Miss Mikoto, you can go in, but no one else can."

"Also, Ms. Mukai Haruka, you only have connections with some companies in the outer city of Loulan. Don't drag our minister into this. The minister said he won't detain you today, but if..."

"No, no, I just want to be detained, I just want to see Brother Bai Xing."

Seeing Mukai Haruka's manipulative and scheming demeanor, everyone felt an itch to punch her.

Everyone: "..."

I fucking want to punch her!

......

Finally, Mukai Haruka was fined 10,000 Loulan coins and detained in a special prison for three days.

After all, they are partners from other countries, and they are not really causing trouble. They can't possibly be locked up in a dilapidated prison.

Inside the reception room, Shirahoshi pushed open the door and walked in, and Mikoto immediately stood up to greet her.

"White Star!"

"Mikoto, it's been a long time."

Despite what has happened, Shirahoshi still understands Mikoto's feelings, given the ambiguous feelings she harbors towards her former students.

Pour the tea, drink the tea.

silence.

After a long while, Mikoto, holding her teacup, spoke first: "Shirahoshi, are you really you?"

Bai Xing took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and nodded: "It's me. It's just that the plan requires me to temporarily..."

puff.

Mikoto quickly snuggled into Shirahoshi's arms.

Shirahoshi controlled the teacup that was about to spill, letting it fall onto the table, then reached out and hugged Mikoto: "It's okay, it's all over now."

"Waaaaah. Grandpa is dead. I don't want you to die too."

"Yes. I won't die. You won't die either."

Mikoto tearfully recounted her experiences within the Uchiha clan over the past three years, and then spoke of how difficult it had been for her to find him.

......

The west gate of the inner city.

"Damn it, why can't we go in? Master, why don't you try to use the power of the Rinnegan to get in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the passersby around him who heard him all showed expressions of ecstatic joy.

"Someone's about to use ninjutsu!"

"Really? How could he dare to do that!"

"It is said that those who go in using ninjutsu never come out."

"Not really, a few did come out."

Boruto Uzumaki heard the voices of the passersby and immediately began to break out in a cold sweat.

Holy crap? Has the ancient kingdom of Loulan become this terrifying? They're killing people just for using ninjutsu?

Uchiha Fuya and Uchiha En were holding Boruto Uzumaki's mouth apart, while Uchiha Fuya was explaining something.

"Just kidding, my friend was just kidding."

"That's right, we Konoha ninjas would never do that."

Upon hearing "Konoha," everyone noticed the headbands they were wearing.

"So you're a ninja from Konoha. Ah! Times have really changed. Konoha used to be a place we couldn't even get into. Now, even if you gave me a million Loulan coins, an apartment in Xilong Residential Area, and a beautiful wife, I wouldn't go!"

"You're daydreaming. One million Loulan coins might be possible, but a house in Xilong Community, any house there costs tens of millions. What kind of international joke are you talking about?"

"I can afford to buy a house in Konoha now, but I don't want to go there anymore. Sigh, it's really frustrating."

"That's it, let's go."

Back then, Sasuke simply couldn't believe that he could chat and joke with such an ordinary person in a bustling city.

But now he sees it in the past world.

This, perhaps, is peace.

"Let go! Boruto can't breathe."

Boruto Uzumaki forcefully slapped Fuya Uchiha's hand.

"Oh, oh, oh." Uchiha Fuya finally came to his senses and released Uzumaki Boruto.

"Huff! Huff! You're going to kill me, Brother Kazeya!" Boruto Uzumaki felt like he had almost died.

"No, I'm afraid you'll cause trouble and get in. Everyone knows that the ancient kingdom of Loulan won't easily let any troublemaking ninja go. If a ninja dares to cause trouble, they'll basically never get out of there in their lifetime. Anyway, they've never appeared in the outer city."

"Huh? Is it that terrifying?" Boruto Uzumaki exclaimed in astonishment. "What about their country? What about Konoha? Does Konoha even have any ninja?"

“Yes.” Uchiha En retorted, “A certain Root member once caused trouble and was eventually captured. Then, the Loulan even provocatively threw the corpses of the Root ninjas back to Konoha. Another one was Danzo’s deputy, named Aburame Ryoma.”

"Hiss! This is too brutal. The Konoha of the past didn't have as much power as the Konoha of the future."

"I'm really curious about what Konoha will be like in the future," Uchiha Fuya asked.

"Of course, it is... uh." Boruto Uzumaki was speaking excitedly, but when he saw his surroundings, he fell silent.

“It’s not even comparable to the outer city of Loulan,” Sasuke said bluntly.

"Oh? Is it that bad?"

Sasuke was speechless: "Don't forget, this is Loulan, not Konoha. Judging from the current state of Konoha, the future Konoha will definitely be more than ten times better than the current Konoha."

"Oh! Sorry, I forgot my identity for a moment." Uchiha En scratched his head awkwardly.

Then he added, "But are we just going to wait here? That wouldn't be a good idea, would it?"

After all, Mikoto didn't know how long she had been inside, and the group needed to find a place to stay.

"Hey? Doesn't that person look a lot like you?"

"No way, that guy looks like a useless old man, he can't even compare to me."

Just then, the voices of a white-haired man and a cool black-haired boy suddenly came from nearby.

Chapter 225 Sasuke, you've broken the law, do you even know that?!

The newcomers were none other than Sasuke Uchiha, who had survived the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Jiraiya, who had survived the Third Shinobi World War.

The reason the two of them could get together was because, out of the three, only Jiraiya could talk to Sasuke.

Orochimaru stays in Shirahoshi's database every day and doesn't come out.

Tsunade stayed in Shirahoshi's room every day and didn't come out.

Not long ago, Jiraiya's bad habit resurfaced, and before he could even commit a crime, he was caught red-handed and imprisoned in a stinking prison specifically for the dead or those about to die. He had just been released when the Queen ordered him to be thrown out of the inner city and could never go back in.

Sasuke wanted to go to Konoha, but he didn't know how, so he could only talk to Jiraiya, who had just been released from prison.

Just then, as young Sasuke was heading back to the inner city, he saw older Sasuke, young Boruto, and a group of Uchiha.

"Wait! Uchiha?"

Sasuke then noticed Uchiha Fuya, Uchiha En, and the Uchiha clan crest on Uchiha Sasuke's headband and clothes.

"Are you ninjas from Konoha?" the young Sasuke asked excitedly.

“Yes. We are Uchiha ninjas, but how come you’re with this person, Jiraiya-sama?” As one of the Legendary Sannin and their senior, Uchiha Fuya and Uchiha En naturally addressed Jiraiya with respect.

"Ah... I just came out not long ago, and Sasuke asked me out for drinks, saying he wanted to talk to me about his mother... wait, no. His mother... oh well. Anyway, it's something about the Uchiha." Ever since the word "mother" became an insult in Loulan, Jiraiya couldn't bring himself to use it.

"Do you know anything about Uchiha Mikoto?" the young Sasuke asked directly.

"Uchiha Mikoto? You mean Elder Mikoto? She just went in."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't walk so fast! I haven't even asked who you are yet."

Uchiha Fuya had just finished speaking when Sasuke ran off at lightning speed, leaving only his back view, and a sentence echoed back.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke."
