Chapter 307 Three Lively and Active Sons
Chapter 307 Three Lively and Active Sons
Uchiha Sanfeng, accompanied by his three queens, slowly descended from the sky.
"Father! Mother!"
With a "thump," Zilong put down the log he was holding and ran over.
Xingchi jumped down from the watchtower, and Bai Qi quickly followed.
Three twelve-year-old boys stood in a row, bowing respectfully: "Father! Mother!"
Looking at his three energetic sons, Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes were full of smiles: "Judging by your high spirits, the mission must have been tough?"
"It's not that it's bitter, it's just so boring!"
Zilong straightened up, slumped his shoulders, pursed his lips, and didn't forget to kick Xingchi next to him.
"This was our first mission abroad, and we were hoping to show off our skills, but what kind of people came? A few days ago, dozens of rogue ninjas showed up, and I took them all down with one punch each. They were lying on the ground without even needing to use their super strength techniques. It was so boring!"
Xingchi rubbed his kicked leg and complained, his dark eyes full of indignation: "Exactly! I was just fighting a few rogue ninjas, trying to sneak up behind them for a surprise attack, when Brother Bai Qi used Ice Release and froze them all. The fight was over before I even got to enjoy it!"
"Who told you to be so slow?"
Bai Qi retorted softly, stealing a glance at Xue Qianhui, then quickly added, "We...we had originally planned to go to the back mountain to fight bandits after work today. I heard there are several hundred of them there, we're sure to have a good fight!"
He looked up at Uchiha Shisui with a wronged expression, "But Shisui-sensei said we have to complete the refugee reception mission first, otherwise we're not allowed to go..."
The three boys chatted amongst themselves, like three small animals whose movements were restricted, full of helplessness.
Hearing this from above, Uchiha Shisui smiled helplessly, which was considered an "acknowledgment" of the children's complaints.
He walked up to Uchiha Sanfeng and bowed respectfully: "Sanfeng Daimyo, the three young masters have too much energy. I was worried they might encounter danger in the back mountains. There are many bandits there, and many traps are hidden. Moreover, the camp needs to be guarded; the safety of the refugees cannot be taken lightly."
"Zhishui, don't worry, I understand your concerns."
Uchiha Mitsunori looked at his three sons and beckoned them over.
"Wanting to prove yourself is a good thing, but have you ever considered that safely transporting refugees to a safe zone and enabling them to survive is a greater achievement than defeating hundreds of bandits?"
He also knew that young people were full of energy, but the refugee mission could not tolerate any carelessness.
Tsunade couldn't contain herself any longer. She quickly walked to Shiryu's side, reached out and ruffled his hair, making his short black hair all messy.
"You brat, you think the enemy is weak? You'll be crying when you meet someone truly formidable!"
She said she was disgusted, but she still carefully checked his ninja uniform: "Are you hurt? Don't be too reckless next time. Even if the enemy is weak, you still have to be careful."
Zilong winced as his teeth were being rubbed, but he still nodded with a smile: "I know, Mother. I'll definitely be more careful next time, but I really want to fight those bandits!"
Xue Qianhui walked up to Bai Qi, took out a thick cotton robe from her storage scroll, and gently draped it over his shoulders: "The nights in the Land of Fire are chilly. Don't always think about playing around. How can you carry out a mission if you get cold?"
Bai Qi took the cotton robe, his ears turning slightly red, and explained in a low voice, "I wasn't playing around, I just... I just thought the ice sculpture was pretty and wanted the kids to play with it."
Xue Qianhui ignored him and reached out to fasten his belt, her eyes gentle: "Listen to me, it's not too late to play Ice Release with you after the mission is completed."
Uchiha Ami quickly walked to Xingchi's side, gently cupped his face in her hands, and looked carefully into his eyes.
His black pupils are clear, indicating that he hasn't awakened his Sharingan yet.
Uchiha Ami comforted her gently, "It's okay if it hasn't awakened yet. The Sharingan depends on fate. When you truly want to protect something, it will naturally awaken."
Stephen Chow looked at his mother and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Mother, I just feel that if I had the Sharingan, I could definitely help more and defeat the bandits sooner."
Uchiha Ami smiled and pulled a small bottle of ointment from her bosom: "Silly child, what your father values most has never been whether you have Sharingan or not, but whether you put your heart into your work. Here, apply it to your hands after training. Don't keep gripping the railing, or you'll get chafed."
Uchiha Mitsunori stood aside, watching the warm interactions between the princesses and the children, and listening to the children's complaints that "the enemy is weak and they want to fight the bandits," a gentle light appeared in his eyes.
Uchiha Shisui also approached and bowed respectfully: "Lord Sanfeng, the three princesses. Although the three young masters are lively, they are never careless in carrying out missions. Shiryu used his superhuman strength to help the refugees set up tents, making it twice as fast as before; Xingchi, although he hasn't awakened his Sharingan, relied on his keen observation skills to detect two ninja ambushes in advance; Baiqi's Ice Release not only strengthened the defenses but also helped the refugees freeze excess drinking water to prevent it from spoiling."
Upon hearing Shisui's praise, Tsunade immediately wore a proud smile.
She patted Shiryu on the shoulder: "Not bad, not bad, you didn't let Tsunade down! But the bandit-hunting will have to wait until the mission is over, understand?"
Zilong nodded quickly, his eyes lighting up.
Mother's words were tantamount to "agreeing" that he would go fight bandits in the future!
The battle raged in the distance, but the camp was warmed by this brief reunion between parents and children.
The refugees smiled as they looked at the three lively boys and the gentle princess.
Even the royal children are working hard for them and are so energetic, which gives them even more confidence to live on.
As the sun set, Sanfeng knew it was time to return.
Zi Long, Xing Chi, and Bai Qi escorted them to the spatial gate.
Shiryu tugged at Tsunade's sleeve, refusing to let go: "Mother, once the mission is complete, we absolutely must go fight the mountain bandits!"
Stephen Chow assured Ami, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission well and strive to awaken my Sharingan as soon as possible!"
Bai Qi looked at Xue Qianhui and whispered, "Mother, I will take good care of myself and help Teacher Shisui."
The portal slowly closed, and Tsunade leaned on Uchiha Mitsumine's shoulder, unable to help but laugh out loud: "That brat, all he thinks about is fighting bandits, just like me when I was a kid."
Xue Qianhui nodded gently: "Although Bai Qi is mischievous, he is very sensible, so I'm relieved."
Ami smiled and said, "Stephen Chow wasn't discouraged by not awakening his Sharingan; on the contrary, he's even more motivated, which is great."
Uchiha Mitsumine gently embraced the three queens, gazing out the window at the night view of the Land of Water: "The war in the Land of Fire will soon be over. Once the children complete their mission, they will not only be able to fight bandits and 'fight for justice,' but our family will also be reunited."
