Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 150 The Happy New Generation

At the end of December, a week before the New Year, most of the Konoha ninja returned to the village to celebrate the New Year with their families.

More goods appeared in the shopping street, and the ninjas who had made money spent them like crazy.

Mikoto Uchiha strolled through the commercial district where her clansmen lived, hand in hand with her son. Seeing the smiles on her clansmen's faces, a look of satisfaction appeared on Mikoto's face as well.

Her husband's decision was correct. She disliked the stubborn voices within the clan, but as a housewife, she usually found it difficult to express them.

The group stopped and looked at the shop. Uchiha Mikoto immediately leaned over and asked with a smile, "Itachi, would you like some three-colored dumplings?"

"Mother, is it alright? Ninjas shouldn't eat this kind of food, right?"

Uchiha Itachi asked in a low voice. The three-colored dumplings did not meet his father's requirements, but he really wanted to try them. It seemed that other children had all eaten them.

"It's alright, the New Year is just around the corner. Itachi has worked so hard, he deserves to be rewarded."

Mikoto Uchiha gently rubbed her son's head with a touch of tenderness. Her husband was becoming increasingly strict with Itachi, even starting to control his food intake.

Just as the two were about to enter the store, a cheerful voice suddenly came from behind them: "Long time no see, Mikoto! I didn't expect to run into you here."

Mikoto Uchiha turned around and a smile appeared on her face: "Kushina, are you two already married?"

Kushina, who was holding onto the water gate, nodded vigorously. It was a rare opportunity to run into an acquaintance, so she immediately called her husband to enter the three-color dumplings shop together.

After they sat down, Kushina noticed Itachi Uchiha. Seeing the boy looking at her curiously, she immediately exclaimed, "Is this the genius Shu was talking about? I remember his name is Itachi, he's so cute!"

Mikoto Uchiha gestured for her son to greet them. Seeing Itachi's well-behaved behavior, she proudly introduced him, "Children this age can't be called geniuses. Itachi just likes to read."

Kushina echoed the praise a few more times, her eyes filled with envy. She also wanted a child, but after two months of trying, she still hadn't succeeded.

As the two continued chatting, when Mikoto mentioned that she was pregnant again, Kushina exclaimed in surprise, her envy evident in her expression.

"Fugaku was too strict with Itachi. I hope this child can spend more time with him."

"I hope it's a girl, so she can spend more time with me."

Mikoto Uchiha smiled and expressed her expectations. Itachi, standing beside her, looked at his mother with a look of certainty on his little face and whispered, "It's a little brother, I can sense it!"

"I will take good care of him from now on and I will definitely not let him suffer too much."

The 3-year-old child acted like a little adult. Seeing this, Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina both laughed, and Minato, who was acting as if he were invisible, couldn't help but smile as well.

Itachi Uchiha blinked. He really sensed it; it was an inexplicable feeling, and he wanted to protect his younger brother.

After their reunion ended, watching the mother and son leave, Kushina Uzumaki, holding her husband's arm, said softly with a slightly flushed face, "We should work hard too! I hope they can be in the same class."

"I hope peace will continue and that this child can grow up healthy and happy."

Minato Namikaze responded, then, recalling Osamu Furukawa's occasional mention of Itachi Uchiha's life, he grasped Kushina's hand and said earnestly, "You're right. With our care, living a healthy and happy life is enough."

The Fourth Hokage, Tsunade, no longer strictly supervised the Jinchuriki as she had in the past. Kushina's range of activities expanded, and her only requirement was that Minato Namikaze must accompany her when she went out.

Kushina became increasingly happy as she saw the different scenery. She saw Tsunade at a street corner in the distance and was about to greet her when she suddenly froze.

The Hokage, who seemed increasingly dignified in my memory, was now all smiles. After accepting the piglet from Furukawa Osamu, his smile grew even brighter.

"What's wrong, Kushina?"

Minato turned to look at his wife. Kushina, snapping out of her daze, was about to explain when she suddenly realized the two had vanished. She suppressed her strange feelings and said, "It's nothing. Come to think of it, it seems like Shu has been by Tsunade's side the whole time..."

Kushina recalled carefully that it seemed the two of them had been together often since a very early time, but back then Furukawa Osamu was too young and not nearly as tall as an adult now, which made him look a bit strange.

"Yes, it was because of Xiu's talent that Lady Tsunade stayed in the village."

"Jiraiya-sensei told me about this. Lady Tsunade originally planned to leave, but she was able to take over the Hokage position. She must have been influenced by Shu."

Minato Namikaze responded quickly, noticing the expression on his wife's face, and asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly curious about this?"

"Ah, it's nothing, I just think Tsunade-sama is amazing, the village is getting better and better."

Kushina shook her head and smiled. She felt she was overthinking things, and it was fine if the Hokage was happy.

As Furukawa Osamu walked toward the Hokage Building, he was carrying a pink piglet bigger than his palm. Although Tsunade tried her best to maintain the dignity of the Hokage, she still glanced at the cute little guy from time to time.

"Porpoise..."

The little pig grunted and squealed as soon as it was placed on the floor in the room, hiding under the table. Tsunade eagerly grabbed the little guy, looked him over from left to right, and said with a smile, "I'll call you Ton-ton!"

"Don't grow too big, or you'll become food!"

Hearing the warning, the little pig was so frightened that it kept squealing. After being placed on the table, it hurriedly jumped to the ground and hid next to Furukawa Osamu.

Just as it was trying to nudge a couple of times in hopes of being rescued by its owner, a small silver snake suddenly appeared from Furukawa Osamu's leg, scaring Tun Tun so much that it fainted on the spot.

Furukawa Osamu casually grasped the silver snake in his hand, and soon the silver snake transformed into a chakra dagger. After being inserted back into his waist, half of the dagger's blade turned into a silver snake again.

Tsunade didn't notice any of this. At that moment, she was holding the pig and poking it around with great interest. When she noticed her disciple's gaze, she coughed lightly and stopped her childish behavior.

"I take back what I said before, the ninja pig is indeed a very good gift!"

"Thank you, Xiu!"

"I'm glad the teacher is happy. I've been working too much lately, so please take good care of yourself."

After giving some instructions, Furukawa Osamu pushed Tsunade back to her seat. Looking at the pile of documents on the desk, Tsunade sighed helplessly. The work of the Hokage was becoming increasingly troublesome: "I definitely need to have a few drinks tonight!"

With the New Year approaching, Konoha Hospital announced its "year-end bonus." Although it was just an extra month's salary, everyone who received the bonus was overjoyed.

Nohara Rin wanted to refuse the reward, but Furukawa Osamu encouraged her, saying, "This is something everyone deserves. You, like everyone else, have made an important contribution."

With Shizune's encouragement and the support of her colleagues in the office, Nohara Rin blushed and accepted the red envelope, saying, "Thank you all for your kindness. I will work even harder in the future!"

The girl bowed to express her gratitude, and everyone offered encouragement once again. Although the amnesia had affected Nohara Rin's medical ninjutsu, after relearning it over this period of time, her daily work was no longer a problem.

In the evening, Shizune was still sharing about the adorable little pig she'd recently seen at her teacher's place. Tsunade, without mentioning it was a gift from Osamu Furukawa, said, "Osamu, you should go see that little guy, he's absolutely adorable!"

"TunTun seems to understand what we're saying; the teacher says it's a ninja pig."

"This is so interesting, Xiu. Do you want to stay with me for a while? There's so much to do for the New Year, and the apartment is closer to here..."

'

Shizune's voice trailed off as she spoke, her face flushed red. Soon, she was flicked on the forehead and instinctively covered her forehead, looking at Furukawa Osamu: "Next time, Shizune. Lord Orochimaru has some work to do recently."

"Remember to take good care of yourself and get enough rest every day."

After hearing the instructions, Shizune nodded vigorously, trying to calm her turbulent emotions. She leaned against Furukawa Osamu's chest, a look of happiness on her face.

A small silver snake silently appeared between the two, its head pointing at Shizune's heart and flicking its tongue.

Furukawa Osamu yanked the small snake back to his waist, transforming it into a chakra dagger. The snake's head quickly reappeared: "Inorganic Reincarnation is so difficult to control. Did the spirit body mutate the Sage Technique?"

Furukawa Osamu looked thoughtful, immersed in his new Sage Mode training. He had no time to pay attention to anything else; the magical chakra made him even more obsessed.

With only one day left until the New Year, Kirigakure is becoming increasingly turbulent. Obito Uchiha's killing spree has attracted the attention of the Kirigakure ninja, who have been hunting down the group ever since.

After arriving at a secluded hideout, Obito ignored Nagato and Konan's astonished looks and suddenly vanished into the vortex.

After arriving in his own private space, Obito walked to "Rin Nohara's Tombstone" and sat down cross-legged.

Recently, Obito has been hearing more and more news about Konoha, and his feelings are complicated. The thought of disrupting the peaceful life of the Konoha ninja has caused his good intentions to waver.

Clutching his long hair in anguish, Obito took deep breaths, recalling the moment the girl's heart was pierced and Kakashi was cut down by the Hidden Mist ninja. His eyes turned cold again: "Rin, wait for me. This hellish world should end!"

When Obito reappeared before Nagato and Konan, he had returned to his usual self. Looking at the two, he commanded in Madara Uchiha's tone, "For the New Year, we will give the Hidden Mist ninja a gift: the Blood Mist will return once more!"

"The Hidden Mist Village will become the Akatsuki's reserve force. The so-called Mizukage will have no ability to resist the power of a god."

Nagato looked thoughtful and nodded in agreement. Konan always felt that this Uchiha Madara was a bit strange, but she also responded.

Osamu Furukawa's spirit sensed Obito's struggle; it seemed that Obito's mindset had changed after seeing Orochimaru break free of the cursed seal.

Regardless of whether Obito changed his mind, Furukawa Osamu didn't care. What he needed was for the blood mist to return, so he immediately notified Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi, basking in the admiring gazes of the crowd after leaving the Mizukage Building, was about to slow down and savor the moment when Osamu Furukawa's spirit commanded, "The New Year's carnage is about to begin. Be prepared, and don't disappoint me!"

"That jerk! Can't you say something sweet for the New Year? We've been completely honest with each other every night."

Ignoring the girl's madness in the spiritual world, Furukawa Osamu's spirit was still silently calculating that as long as the killing continued for a few years, he should be able to improve rapidly again after his spirit returned: "Strive to take my immortal arts to the next level."
