Chapter 421 Special Day (Update 26)

Arriving in the Land of Fire, I got a brief defense map of Konoha under the Buddha statue beside a path.

This defense map was drawn by Orochimaru, who was working as a spy in Konoha. Perhaps because he was worried about his identity being exposed, the defense map was not comprehensive, but it was enough.

Ye Zi took a brief look at it and then threw it to Orochimaru. Because Orochimaru was the one who controlled the dirty soil body, he could place the chess pieces reincarnated from the dirty soil according to the defense plan. It was up to Orochimaru to decide how to distribute them appropriately.

The key is that Kato Dan must face Tsunade and suppress Tsunade's abilities, while Hatake Sakumo must put himself in a position with many enemies in order to play his role as a 'killing machine'.

Ye Zi looked at the end of the path and said silently: "Yan Ye, wait for me."

A group of four people headed forward.

.............

Konoha is still unaware of Ye Zi's arrival, and there is a scene of peace.

Since the end of the war, Konoha has developed rapidly. Without the war, the casualty rate of ninjas has plummeted, and the development speed of the village has shown an obvious upward trend.

There are more and more shops opening on the street, and the intervals between buildings are getting shorter and shorter, because the number of buildings on the ground is gradually increasing.

Although there are more buildings, with reasonable planning, they will not appear crowded and will appear more prosperous.

Central Street is one of the busiest commercial streets.

A group of young people were walking together on the street, talking and laughing. The atmosphere was quite good, but it was Akai and the others.

Today is Hong's 18th birthday, and she plans to invite Akai and the others to have a meal together. She has invited all her close friends.

There were Akai, Rin, Obito, Asuma, Hayate, Genma, Anko, but Kakashi was absent.

"That guy Kakashi, what he said about training is true." Obito curled his lips dissatisfied.

"Youth is the sweat of unremitting efforts." Akai clenched his fists with emotion on his face and said seriously: "But you can also sweat it after eating!"

Obito glanced at Kai helplessly and complained: "I don't understand what you are talking about at all."

"I'm so touched!" Akai suddenly clenched his fists and burst into tears.

Obito was startled, confused, and then shouted: "You are so moved! Where on earth were you moved?"

Akai said seriously: "Kakashi would rather miss a big meal for the sake of youth!"

"..." Obito almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He couldn't catch Akai's thoughts at all.

Hong, who was walking in front, couldn't help but cover his forehead and sighed. If this guy Akai gives him a few more years, he will probably remain the same.

"Hong, your dress is so beautiful, it goes well with you." Lin came over, looked at Hong's red dress, and praised her.

The size of the dress was just right on Hong's body, highlighting Hong's undulating figure and adding a touch of charm to her.

Hearing Lin's praise, Hong said happily: "Of course, this is..." In the middle of her words, she suddenly stopped and couldn't help but remain silent.

"What's wrong?" Lin asked confused.

Hong smiled and said, "Nothing."

Today is her birthday. When she was at home, she was thinking about what to wear, and she accidentally saw a red dress that had been lying around for several years, so she accidentally chose this outfit.

This is the dress that Ye Zi gave her when she was on a mission. At that time, she was still too young, so she put it in the closet. Unexpectedly, she picked it up and wore it today and found that it fit her perfectly.

"It's beautiful." Asuma suddenly praised, looking at Kurenai with evasive eyes.

Hayate and Genma joined in the fun and said, "This dress matches Kurenai very well. It looks really good."

Hongdou walked over, generously stretched out his hand around Hong's neck, and said with a smile: "Tell me the truth, who gave you this dress as a birthday gift."

"This is not a birthday gift, it was given a long time ago." Hong's smile became a little forced.

Anko said strangely: "But this dress of yours fits you very well."

Akai looked at Hong. He knew who gave this dress. He subconsciously reached out and touched the khaki wallet in his pocket. Then he did a front flip, put his hands on the ground and walked handstand, and ran into the middle of a few people to divert attention. After exerting his strength, he shouted loudly: "Let's have a handstand walking competition and see who gets to the 'Yummy Barbecue' restaurant first. Whoever gets there first can eat the most, how about it?"

"Who can compare to you!" Obito, Asuma, Hayate, and Genma immediately complained together.

"Youth has infinite possibilities!" Akai shouted passionately.

"..." The four of them looked at him speechlessly.

Lin sighed slightly, and then saw Anko's interested look, actually doing a forward somersault and walking upside down.

"It sounds interesting, I'm participating!"

Lin was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "Hongdou, isn't this bad?"

Hongdou smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."

Seeing Anko, a girl with a competitive spirit, Obito couldn't stand still, and also made a handstand walking posture, and then shouted to Lin and Kurenai: "How about you come too?"

"Come on, you big-headed devil!" Lin and Hong cursed together. They were all wearing skirts, how could they walk upside down.

Obito curled his lips, thinking that he wouldn't come if he didn't come, but he actually cursed.

Asuma and the other three were helpless, and they also made a posture of walking upside down, which had a bit of a competition flavor in it.

As a result, a strange scene occurred on the lively West Street. Several young people stood on their heads, as if they were going to compete in a handstand walking competition.

If Kakashi saw this scene, he would probably sigh at how right he was not to come.

"Oh! The battle of youth is about to begin!"

Akai shouted excitedly, and then rushed forward without saying a word, leaving Obito and the others with sand on their faces.

Several people stared at Akai who disappeared in the blink of an eye, dumbfounded.

Obito put a little force on his hands, did a backflip and stood still, saying: "Forget it, let's not compete."

The others nodded in agreement and then stood still.

"Really..." Seeing that everyone decisively sold Akai, Hong smiled helplessly, and then looked at the direction in which Akai was going. She knew that Akai was helping her out.

After a while, everyone came to the 'Haoyi Barbecue' restaurant, ordered a lot of barbecue, and started eating.

"Well, it's delicious!" Obito ate the barbecue with a satisfied look on his face.

Lin reminded: "Be careful not to choke."

Obito swallowed the roasted meat hard and said carelessly: "Don't worry, it won't happen."

Akai finished his portion with a few swipes, then looked at Hong expectantly and said, "Can I order another one?"

Hong smiled and said, "I'm treating you today. It doesn't matter how much you eat."

"Great." Akai cheered, and then asked the boss for a barbecue for ten people.

"…"red.

A table full of people enjoying themselves.

At this happy moment, a loud noise came from outside, and the ground of the barbecue restaurant was slightly affected and trembled slightly.

Everyone was suddenly startled. As ninjas, their first reaction was an enemy attack. They immediately put down their chopsticks and ran outside.

In the distance in sight, there is a cloud of dust and smoke. It is in the northeast of the village, close to the residential area, and is also the location of the training ground.

"Is the enemy attacking?!" Everyone looked solemn.

"I'll go take a look." After Akai said that, he immediately ran towards the direction filled with smoke and dust.

Everyone looked at each other quickly and immediately followed Akai.

At the same time, the training ground in the northeast.

Kakashi held a short sword and stared at a black-haired man in front of him with murderous intent.

That's...Ye Zi.
