Chapter 74: To The Fire Capital
The next day, early in the morning.
Uchiha Tunan got up and packed his things.
Before leaving, he came to the altar where the wooden sculptures were placed and lit three sticks of incense.
"I'm leaving. There are many things to do this time."
"I'm afraid I won't be back in a short period of time."
"If you miss me, remember to make contact in my dreams."
After saying that, he bowed three times to a row of lifelike statues and inserted incense for his family and friends.
Three hours later.
Uchiha Tunan stood quietly under the big tree at the entrance of the village and waited.
At the intersection of the street, the figures of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Asuma finally arrived.
They saw Sarutobi Shinnosuke rubbing Asuma's hair lovingly and said,
"Asuma, if you stay in bed again in the future, I will not take you anywhere."
Asuma slapped Sarutobi Shinnosuke's hand away impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I know. I was too excited last night and I lost sleep in the middle of the night."
When the two arrived at the village entrance, Sarutobi Shinnosuke said to Uchiha Tunan apologetically,
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Uchiha Tunan adjusted his glasses and shook his head gently. "It doesn't matter. I just arrived not long ago."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and tugged at Asuma's clothes.
"Asuma, Tunan is your classmate. Why didn't you say hello?"
"Hmph."
Although Asuma and Uchiha Tunan were classmates, for some reason, they seemed to have a problem with Uchiha Tunan and didn't even look at him.
Uchiha Tunan merely narrowed his eyes and smiled. He wasn't angry.
He had already guessed the general reason in his heart.
However, Uchiha Tunan did not expect that Asuma would also go to the Fire Capital.
If things went smoothly, the two of them could pack up together.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke scratched his head awkwardly and quickly changed the topic.
"Let's go. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime on the way."
After finishing the registration at the village entrance, the three of them left Konoha and set off for the Fire Capital.
Not long after they stepped out of the barrier, Uchiha Tunan slowed down slightly and looked back.
At the end of the street, a figure flashed by.
Uchiha Tunan silently turned his back and waved his hand, continuing to walk forward.
...
Several days later, the three of them finally arrived at the capital of fire.
The capital of fire was located in the plains, and there were large and small villages and towns scattered around the city.
These villages and towns were not originally there.
The main reason was that the capital of fire was worth an inch of gold, and the people living in the city were either Ninjas or officials.
This led to many people choosing to live in the villages and towns outside the city. They would only enter the city when they were working and doing business.
The three of them soon arrived at the southern gate of Fire Capital.
The soldier at the city gate said to the three of them as usual,
"Identification, please."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out his identification card and gave it to the soldier to take a look.
The soldier immediately bowed and said, "So it is Shinnosuke, please come in."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke turned to Uchiha Tunan and said, "I'll take you to the Fifth Guard Mansion first."
Then he led the two into the Fire Capital.
The three walked on the street, and the vendors who set up stalls along the street all shouted loudly, smiling and soliciting customers for business.
Asuma had been in Konoha since he was a child, and he had never seen such a bustling scene.
With a face full of shock, he repeatedly muttered this sentence.
"Wow, the Fire Capital is so big."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at the indifferent Uchiha Tunan, and then looked at Asuma who was constantly exclaiming.
He wondered why they were all of the same age, but the difference in their bearing was so great.
"The Fire Capital 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,
"Senior, I heard that you are the legendary Twelve Guardian Knights."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and said,
"That's right, the Twelve Guardian Knights are specialized in protecting their famous names."
"Of course, we don't usually need so many people."
"Generally speaking, we are in two shifts."
"We will always keep four people to protect their famous names, one to protect the First Prince and one to protect the Second Prince."
Uchiha Tunan asked doubtfully, "His Highness the first and second Highness?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled faintly and said,
"That's right, my strength is considered weak among the twelve warriors."
"That's why I'm responsible for protecting the safety of His Highness at night."
When Asuma heard this, he immediately muttered, "Why does it sound like you're useless?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't expect his younger brother to make things difficult for him in front of outsiders. His face turned slightly red as he explained,
"What do you know? In a few years, his great name should be abdicated. When the time comes, His Highness will inherit his great name."
"Right now, His Highness represents the future of the Kingdom of Fire. Do you think that anyone can do this mission?"
Uchiha Tunan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a puzzled expression, "Why is it not His Highness the second Prince who inherited his great name?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke scratched his head, thought for a moment, and explained,
"Generally speaking, it is the eldest son who inherits it, and all kinds of signs indicate that the great name wants the Great Prince to inherit it."
Uchiha Tunan nodded and no longer asked.
However, as if she had opened a chatterbox, Asuma asked Sarutobi Shinnosuke,
"Is that higher than Hokage?"
"Of course, but the difference in status between the two is not too big."
"Nowadays, the world of ninjas implemented a country and a village system. If there are villages, there must be a country. If there is a country, there may not be a village."
The village can not be separated from the economic help of the country, and the country needs the support of the village.
"Then why can't I be the Hokage?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke covered Asuma's mouth and warned with a serious face,
"Shut up! Don't say these words outside in the future. You will get into trouble."
....
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the office hall of the Fifth Guard Mansion.
The staff here recognized Sarutobi Shinnosuke at a glance, and immediately stood up and bowed,
"Shinnosuke."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded, pointing to Uchiha Tunan next to him, and said,
"This is the new captain of the Northern City Guard, Konoha's Chuunin Uchiha Tunan."
"This is his job list. Please confirm it."
As he spoke, he handed the job list to the staff.
After the staff confirmed that there were no mistakes, they quickly registered Uchiha Tunan's information in the book.
Then, he bowed to Uchiha Tunan and said,
"Greetings, Lord Tunan."
Uchiha Tunan smiled gently and bowed to the other party.
"Please guide me in the future."
"Tunan, I will take Asuma out for a walk."
"I live in the east side of the famous mansion. You can do anything... "
Before Sarutobi Shinnosuke finished, she was pulled away by Asuma who wanted to go out to play.
Uchiha Tunan watched the two leave, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable meaning.
Seeing that Uchiha Tunan was standing there without saying anything, the staff member carefully asked,
"That... Lord Tunan, may I ask if I am taking you to your mansion now?"
Uchiha Tunan turned his head, his usual gentle expression returning to his face.
"Then I will have to trouble you."
