This small Loulan had only a few thousand people and limited resources. The gap between the rich and poor was small, so although there were conflicts, they were not serious.

The vast territory under Qingjingyuan's jurisdiction was home to all sorts of people, and the numerous bizarre incidents she had to deal with terrified her.

"Sasha, you don't need to worry too much."

"The people of Loulan are still very simple and honest. Due to population reasons, a rationing system will be temporarily implemented here."

"And I will try my best to minimize the negative impact of the changes."

Sasha glanced at the book in front of her, thought of all the records inside, and truly admired the wisdom that Kiyoshi had accumulated over the years.

This person is truly amazing.

"Sarah!"

"Ouch!"

Someone who was almost falling asleep while reading a book was tapped on the head.

"puff!"

Sasha laughed when she saw her daughter's disheveled appearance.

"Sarah, let's study together."

"Yes, Mother."

Sarah sat up straight again, and this time Kiyoshi sat down next to her to explain what she should learn and how to learn it.

She listened very attentively.

It's hard for a person to concentrate on studying alone, but hearing the teacher's voice and seeing the ruler in front of her gave her a lot of motivation to study.

Beside her, Sasha smiled gently.

This sudden event may actually bring about positive changes for Loulan.

Meanwhile, inside the city of Churi.

"Sister Xiaohui, these are my thanks for the past few days. Please accept them."

Wearing ninja attire, Uchiha Mikoto is preparing to return to Konoha with a merchant caravan.

Kiyoi Kei saw her off and received cookies that Mikoto had made herself at the Hatsuhijo Bakery.

"Mikoto, I'll be waiting for you to come back next time."

"Ok!"

Mikoto waved goodbye and embarked on her journey with the caravan.

She still had two cookies in her hand, sealed inside a scroll, which she planned to give to Kiyoi Gen and Kiyoi Ai when she got back.

As for the last one

Ban stared into thought at the small bag in his hand and the wooden cat sign on it.

His new disciple suddenly came to his house and gave him this thing.

But he doesn't eat cookies.

With that thought in mind, Ban walked towards his room on the second floor.

The room was quite large, simple yet very clean.

Since Izuna moved out, he's been living alone here, and he's the only one who does all the cleaning.

However, he didn't have any particular feelings, nor did he feel lonely.

He was already used to living alone, and besides the Kiyoi family, many friends would visit his home.

Ban walked to the cabinet, took out a large box, placed it on the table, and opened the lid.

He picked up the cookie bag that Mikoto had given him and tore off the cat tag on it.

He planned to give the cookies to Izuna and the others, and he put the wooden plaque in the box.

The box contained all sorts of things, such as:

Sulfurfire gave him a prank box, intending to scare him on the day of the gift, but he ended up giving it a good beating under the pretext of testing his strength;

Bai Miao gave him a water ball to squeeze to relieve stress; it makes a "popping" sound when squeezed.

The bamboo dragonfly that Feng Sha gave him could fly very high with just a gentle turn;

Lei Yumen gave him four self-made, hardcover volumes of Kiyoshi Gen's sayings, which he said were handwritten by hand.

And the soft-feathered moorhen that Yukii gave him.

That's right.

"Goo!"

Suddenly, something jumped onto the window. It was covered in white feathers like a snowball, had a long beak, and two slender legs.

"You're back."

Ban stretched out his right hand and gently scratched the almost invisible neck of the fluffy waterhen.

The little guy didn't resist; he just made a pleasant sound.

It was caught by Xingyan on the back of a herbivorous dragon in the Great Ant Hill Wasteland, and it is said to be a rare beast.

However, because he doesn't know how to care for animals, this little guy usually goes to the pet shop run by Yukiiwa and his girlfriend to find food.

These long-legged, white, furry creatures are incredibly agile; almost no one notices them. It took Xingyan some effort to catch a few.

It took a lot of time afterward to successfully establish a friendly relationship with these little guys.

The bird that Ban is touching has already turned Ban's home into a nest, and it comes back to rest every night.

The person and the bird rarely interacted; they were more like ordinary friends.

Although he didn't say anything, Ban seemed to like the fluffy waterhen.

He carefully examined the various items inside the collection box, nodded, tidied them up, and then carefully closed the box and put it back.

These are his fond memories of Hatsuhi Castle, which even Gen and Izuna don't know.

For him, that's enough.

All that remains is to fulfill his dream.

As for other things, let's think about them after that day.

This city, which was built by Yuan, expanded by Ban, and ultimately pushed to even greater heights by the two of them, was both created by them and made by them.

Chapter 174 The Continuation of Life

No, it was February 18th, the 38th year of Konoha's reign, the 26th year of the First Sun—a day worth commemorating.

This day is very important for both Izuna and Madara.

"Da da da da!"

Outside the operating room, Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha were like ants on a hot plate, unable to stand still and pacing back and forth in the corridor.

"Madara, Izuna, don't worry."

“Yunxi is inside; her medical ninjutsu is among the best in the hospital.”

Kiyoshi Gen confidently reminded him.

Two years ago, Yunxi graduated from school and became a doctor at the hospital.

Because of his vortex-like physique and the ability to quickly heal others by sharing his life force, he quickly became a pillar among doctors.

Now, at the age of seventeen, he has performed numerous major surgeries and is absolutely capable of delivering babies.

"Besides, with so many people's blessings, Lingzi and her child will be safe and sound."

Indeed, whether it was because of Izuna himself or because of the relationship between Genji and Madara, the corridor was full of acquaintances.

Kiyoshi Gen's entire family plus two pets;

Madara's disciples, except for Mikoto Uchiha;

Other former colleagues include Izli, Komura, Mifumi, and Kakuzu.

Well, even Kakuzu, who only cares about work and is a cold, stingy workaholic, has come.

Look, I'll just stand in the corner with my eyes closed and rest, not participating in anyone's discussion.

Lingzi has been in the operating room for several hours.

The people outside had been waiting for several hours.

However, no one showed any impatience.

Suddenly, the baby's cries rang out!

"Sigh~"

Madara and Izuna both gasped simultaneously, their movements remarkably synchronized.

Wow! Wow!!!

Wait for that sound

Are there two?

"Crack".

With her red hair and white clothes, Yunxi, with her swirling hair, peeked out.

Is the child's father here?

"I!!!"

Izuna walked up excitedly, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Am I a mother now?

"No! It's Dad!"

Goodness, he's so happy he's practically incoherent!
