Chapter 133 The Dust Settles
At this point in time, Ningxia and the other women were preparing to return to Konoha.
However, Ningxia made a special detour, first going to Takigakure Village, intending to teach this arrogant village, which didn't take Hashirama seriously at all, a lesson.
It turned out that all the high-ranking members of Takigakure had been killed, and the mastermind was the only surviving leader.
After learning the whole story, Ningxia couldn't help but admire the other party's pragmatism, considering that the other person had already taken care of the trouble for her.
Ningxia stopped making things difficult for them and went home with the women.
Although it was destroyed by Izuna once, it is fortunate that Itama also knows Wood Release. Even though his strength is far inferior to Hashirama's, he is still more than capable of doing earthwork and building houses.
Itama's wedding arrived as scheduled. Ningxia and Hashirama, as elders, sat in the seats of honor and drank the tea offered by him and his wife. This younger brother, whom Ningxia had watched grow up, had finally come of age.
As the days passed, even after Ningxia's identity disappeared, Konoha continued to function, and Ningxia continued to assist Hashirama and explore the Rabbit Talisman.
Madara and Izuna did not stay in Konoha, not because they had developed a rift with Hashirama or Tobirama.
The sudden disappearance of Limbo Izuna is truly unsettling, especially since the Uchiha clan no longer needs them.
Before this, Madara and Izuna had returned to the Uchiha clan, but by then the clan members no longer wanted to live a life of constant danger; they just wanted a peaceful life with their wives, children, and a warm bed.
Madara didn't care. She had never felt happy being the clan leader; she only continued to bear the burden for the sake of her ideals with Hashirama.
Now that the Uchiha clan has integrated into Konoha, her duties can be considered complete.
After greeting several respected elders of the Uchiha clan, she completely relinquished her position as clan leader and became a true rogue ninja.
She no longer had any attachment to Konoha; the only connection between her and Hashirama was Ningxia.
Just as the Sage of Six Paths said, if it weren't for Ningxia, she wouldn't have been able to reconcile with Hashirama.
A year later, Madara and Izuna returned. They still had no trace of Izuna's resurrection. Because it was the New Year, Ningxia asked them to come back for a reunion dinner.
In Ningxia's residence, separate from the Senju and Uchiha clans, Hashirama and Madara rarely began to have a drinking contest. Ningxia did not allow them to fight fiercely, so they could only use this to determine who was better.
Tobirama and Izuna exchanged a silent glance, and finally, after Tobirama took the initiative to apologize, they made up on the surface.
Itama, holding Dai, trembled among a group of immortals. He hadn't wanted to come, but Dai insisted, so he had no choice but to reluctantly bring Dai and his wife along.
Guang had grown taller, and he and Ningxia were preparing various delicacies in the kitchen. The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful. When Ningxia announced that dinner was ready, everyone immediately sat obediently at the table.
After several rounds of drinks, Ningxia placed a pre-prepared portion outside the window facing the moon as an offering to Kaguya.
"Damn it... I can't eat it."
The chibi version of Kaguya appeared, pouting and complaining. She had thought that having a clone following Ningxia would be similar to usual.
Then... she regretted it.
Yes, she can be by Ningxia's side, but she is not only small, but also has the external form of a chakra structure, without any internal structure.
Unable to eat or do anything else, God knows how she has survived this past year.
"Just bear with it a little longer. Didn't we agree that I'd save you when I got back to the future?"
Ningxia also considered saving Kaguya now, but all the women were furious and disagreed no matter what.
Even the four women who couldn't stand each other were forced to reconcile in order to get Ningxia to give up the idea.
Even if the quality is inferior, the quantity can still win, right?
Ningxia considered various factors and agreed with Kaguya to rescue her in the future. Kaguya thought that it was only a few decades, while she had survived for thousands of years, so she agreed.
"Waaah... Then spend more time with me, don't always spend time with them."
Kaguya said angrily that she was willing to accept defeat, and that she had lost, so she could only blame herself for being too careless.
Before Ningxia could answer, Hashirama had already pulled her away, Tobirama had already cleaned up the mess using his researched techniques for washing dishes and cleaning tables, and Itama had also left with Dai and his wife.
As for Guang, he fell asleep after a failed attempt to fight Ban's eye power. Now, only Ningxia is left to fight.
"Forehead?"
A month later, Ningxia decided to go out with Madara and Izuna. Over the years, his focus had been on Hashirama and Tobirama, and now he wanted to make up for it with Madara and Izuna.
Guang naturally wouldn't separate from Ningxia, especially since she didn't need to do anything.
Although they were very unwilling, Hashirama and Tobirama had no choice but to send the four away, as the two of them had to stay in Konoha to take charge of the overall situation.
With Madara and Izuna by his side, and with the presence of light, Ningxia traversed the entire ninja world.
Three years later, he was finally able to fully figure out the ability to reliably traverse time using the Rabbit Talisman.
However, the Rabbit Talisman cannot transport people through time and space, at least not at 50% progress.
This leads to the second problem: he had too many people around him, so Ningxia turned to looking for ways to prolong his life.
Finally, they discovered that by preserving the body and soul separately, they could maximize the chances of ensuring the person's condition after awakening.
He also playfully flicked the fingers of young Danzo and young Hiruzen, making them both cry.
After conducting various safety tests, Ningxia is ready to depart.
That night, the girls all tacitly refrained from disturbing Ningxia and instead gave the opportunity to Guang, who had already turned 18.
Faced with the girl's sincere feelings, Ningxia did not refuse, but her feelings were a little complicated.
Because Hikari always reminds him of Naruko, Shiro, and Zuoyue, but Hikari's love is so strong that Ningxia can no longer escape it.
In the end, I could only console myself that it was just this once.
The following day, Ningxia built a basement three thousand meters above the ground, specifically to store the bodies of the four women.
The surrounding area was filled with the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, the transcription seal of the Uchiha clan, and a wooden wall that Hashirama had condensed that was comparable to the God Tree itself.
To prevent any accidents from happening in Konoha, Hashirama also created a wooden clone, which was enough to support Tobirama's ascension to the throne. When the chakra was exhausted, it would turn into a piece of wood.
As for his strength... it was probably before Hashirama met the Sage of Six Paths.
After settling Hashirama, Madara, Izuna, and Hikaru, Ningxia looked at the fifth person, Tobirama, who was placed there. She couldn't come here yet, after all, she was the Second Hokage.
After confirming everything was correct, Ningxia left the sealed land and prepared to say goodbye to the others.
"Uncle Ningxia, will you come back?"
Dai was very reluctant to part with Ningxia. To her, Ningxia was no less important than her adoptive father, Banjian.
"Perhaps, Tobirama, Itama, I'll leave Konoha to you from now on."
Ningxia gently rubbed Dai's head, then bid farewell to the siblings, shouldered her bag, and left Konoha.
"Uncle Ningxia..."
Dai remembered Ningxia mentioning the name Tsunade, and silently vowed to name her daughter that.
After leaving Konoha, Ningxia used the Rabbit Talisman to travel through time and space.
Next stop, the First Shinobi World War, the place where Tobirama died.
