Chapter 12 The white-haired palace maid was sitting and talking about Xuanzong.

Konoha, the residence of the Senju clan.

This was the first time Li Zhongren stepped into the residence of the Senju clan.

The first reaction is grandeur. Of course, it cannot be compared with the wonders of the previous life, but compared with the local buildings, it has a sense of grandeur and vigor. I heard that this place was designed by the first generation himself, so with his vision, it is not surprising that there is such an architectural style.

Second, it is bleak and lonely.

It reminded him of a Tang Dynasty poem he had read occasionally in his previous life. He couldn't remember who the author was or the name of the poem, but the last two sentences left a deep impression on him because he liked the charm of the poem.

The white-haired palace maids are there, sitting and talking about Emperor Xuanzong.
From his newly recognized sister, Tsunade Senju, he already knew the current situation of the Senju clan. It can be said that they shed their last drop of blood for Konoha, so that there is not a single male in the huge mansion.
Along the way, the people who are still maintaining the operation of this mansion are actually some very old women.

This moment is just like that moment.
If there was an old woman sitting on that green platform, pounding her waist and muttering about the first generation, it would be completely right.
"From now on, this will be your home."

As she stepped onto this land, the coldness on Tsunade Senju's face finally dissipated, but the sadness inside her did not dissipate.

Having read the original novel, he naturally knew that this was her confusion about the decision made by her two grandfathers.

For Konoha, almost the entire family was sacrificed. Regardless of whether it was worth it or not, what was left in the end?

Especially, the death of her brother.
Although it is not explicitly stated in the original work, as the eldest son and grandson of the Senju clan, and with a master like Orochimaru, it is far-fetched no matter how you think about it that he died simply from an explosive tag trap, especially after he traveled to this world and came into contact with the substitution technique.

He even asked himself if he had the confidence to avoid the threat of the detonating talisman. After all, the explosion speed of that thing could not catch up with the speed of the substitution technique, let alone a third-generation wood master like Senju Rope Tree.
What's more, he also heard from the grapevine that the body of Qianju Shengshu was not even found, and the detonating talisman did not have such power. It was a bit weird anyway.
"I'll take you to see my grandmother."

The eldest grandmother is naturally Uzumaki Mito, the current pillar of Konoha. Although she has not left the house for a long time, the weight of her every word is even more useful than that of the Sandaime. After all, she is the current number one master of Konoha and the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
Well, in other words, he is a Jinchūriki who can use pure violence to force the Nine-Tails to obey him.
"I think she will be very happy about your coming."

Suddenly, Tsunade Senju tilted her mouth with a wicked smile on her face.

"There is another member of the Uzumaki clan beside the great grandmother. She is her granddaughter. You should know her. Her name is Uzumaki Kushina. Do you remember her?"

Dividing line (memories)

"Red Pepper, stop! Where are you going?!"

In the crisscrossing civilian area of Konoha, a red-haired girl was moving quickly on one foot.

Behind her were several young men, each of them had a bruised face and nose.

Of course, the girl herself wasn’t in much better condition, with one of her eye sockets red and swollen.

At a corner, taking advantage of the moment when she lost sight, she swooshed into a house.
"Where are the people? I don't know where they are hiding!"

"Let's look for it separately!"

"Her foot was injured by the trap. We must teach her a lesson this time. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with her next time when her injury heals..."

"Ah, good evening."

Li Zhongren was eating his dinner, which was rice porridge with minced meat. The minced meat was a reward for attending the Ninja School. Otherwise, given his family's financial situation, he would never be able to afford meat, even minced meat.

Then he saw a figure whizzing in through the window of his house, and quietly took down the wooden stick under the window.
It was dusk and the sky was not completely dark yet, so I could see clearly who was coming.

"Uzumaki. Uzumaki Nakushin-san?"

"My name is Uzumaki Kushina!!"

"Oh, hello, classmate, what's up?"

"It's okay. We are all classmates. I'll take a rest at your house. Is that okay?"

Having said that, Uzumaki Kushina sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Li Zhongren with her legs crossed.

"No, you're welcome."

Li Zhongren smiled and nodded to Uzumaki Kushina, then lowered his head again.

"Bulging~~"

"Is this your dinner?"

Before the destruction of the Uzumaki Country, Uzumaki Kushina was a descendant of a high-ranking member of the Uzumaki clan. She could be said to have lived a life of luxury. Even after coming to Konoha, she was always able to eat all kinds of delicious food because of Grandma Mito. She had been in Konoha for two years, and this was the first time she had seen someone eat such food.

To be honest, the sight of this paste mixed with meat paste made her feel a little nauseous.

"Ah."

Li Zhongren didn't look up, but continued to eat his meal with big mouthfuls.

After a day of training at school, he consumed a lot of energy, whether it was extracting chakra or exercising his body.

"Gululu~~"

A clear belly sound broke the silence in the room.

The voice came from Uzumaki Kushina who was sitting opposite Li Zhongren.

Although the paste mixed with meat paste looked disgusting, Li Zhongren, as a Chinese, naturally added some cheap seasoning casually, which removed the fishy smell of the meat, while at the same time bringing out the aroma of carbohydrates, mixed with the fragrance of some vegetables mixed in the paste.

For a moment, Uzumaki Kushina's stomach growled even though she was just smelling the food.
"Would you like to share some? There's more in the pot."

"You are such an interesting person."

"what??"

Uzumaki Kushina pursed her lips.

"You are different from those people. You don't hate me, and you don't hate everyone. You just seem to keep a subtle distance from everyone. But, what can you say? You actually really wanted to invite me to dinner, but you found out that I was hungry."

"Well, I'll just eat a little bit."

"."

"Did you do this yourself?"

"Ah."

Li Zhongren stood up and took out a set of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard. These were left by his parents. It was a pity that the couple didn't live to see him enter school. Otherwise, with the subsidy from the Ninja School, they wouldn't have died so early.
"That's amazing. I can't cook and every time I cook it turns into charcoal."

Li Zhongren opened the pot, and a wave of hot steam rose up, making the fragrance in the room even stronger. After filling a large bowl, he placed it in front of Uzumaki Kushina.

"Please use it."

"Thank you."

Uzumaki Kushina looked at the food and the bowls in front of her. It was different from the mess she had imagined. It was clean to the last detail. Even the room was shabby but well organized and spotless. There was no peculiar smell in the air.
It made her feel so comfortable.
"Emm~~"

Scooping a handful of the paste with a wooden spoon, Uzumaki Kushina stuffed it into her mouth.

"good to eat!"

"Haha, as long as it tastes good, if it's not enough, there's more in the pot."

"Hey~~~ I'm full."

Uzumaki Kushina patted her bulging belly and lay on the bamboo chair with a look of satisfaction on her face.
"Thank you for the treat, Kotori-san."

"You're welcome, but Uzumaki-san."

Looking at the empty pot, Li Zhongren could only shrug helplessly. This girl had eaten up all his breakfast for tomorrow morning. The blood of the Uzumaki clan was indeed a bit scary.
"It's getting late, shouldn't you...go home?"
