"You look in a good mood." Hyuga Tamamo said calmly.

"Most of the time, I'm in a good mood." Xuan smiled and pulled up a strand of her hair, "It's growing again, how about it? How does it feel like to be a water shadow?"

"I don't feel anything, it's just a scheming. The ideas of the ninjas, the ideas of the clans, the ideas of villagers, and the ideas of ordinary people such as Daming all need me, the Mizuha, to reconcile them. Apart from being tired, there is no place to be happy."

She said calmly, slapped Xuan's hand along her hair toward her neck, "However, in the years since I was in power, the focus of the Akatsuki organization has shifted to the Land of Water. There is a sea isolation here, and naturally it is isolated from the other four major villages. Wuxiu Village rarely gets involved in external affairs, and is the best hidden stronghold."

Xuan withdrew his hand and nodded, "I don't worry if you do this. But why did you suddenly tell me these?"

Hinata Tamamo said: "You are the leader, isn't it normal for you to report these to you as a subordinate?"

"Uh!" Xuan was slightly surprised, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had been shaking hands in front of the boss over the years, and everything in the Akatsuki organization was handed over to Tamamo and Akabayi. It was really incompetent.

After coughing twice, he changed the subject and said, "Okay, okay, I will pay attention. What about that girl Xiaonan, has she run out to play again?"

"Well, she said that this place is very similar to Rain Country, and she likes it very much. She went out to play every day during this period. I heard that she has made a new friend, about the same age as her. But now she hasn't gone out. She just came back and is resting in the room."

Hinata Tamamo said slowly without any haste, as if her tone was always stable at any time. "By the way, I have formed a contour about the peripheral organization I have reported to you before. It is tentatively ten people. According to your instructions, I have created ten rings, corresponding to different code names. The only problem is that the candidate has not been decided yet. Apart from Kakuto, there are no other suitable candidates."

"Oh?" Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, took the box she handed over, and after opening it, there were ten rings in it.

Close the box and Xuan threw it away casually, "Don't worry about the members, I'll handle it myself. I have a few good candidates here."

Hinata Tamamo nodded, not too much entanglement with this matter, and turned to look at Hidden Village in Kirigi and said, "It has been fifty years in a flash. I still remember the scene when Konoha was first established, but I never expected that I had been observing the changes in the ninja world until today."

"Why did you suddenly feel sentimental? It's not like your style."

"It's okay, I'm just feeling a little moved when I see it's another year. Let's talk about something else. I've received the news. There's news about the wind-attribute artifact we've been looking for. In the Sand Hinata Village, but you must not think of where it was hidden." Hinata Tamamo smiled slightly, and it was a little playful.

"I can't guess many things." Xuan chuckled, "But since you are so sure, I still don't have to worry about it. Even if I guess correctly, there is no reward."

"It's so boring." Tamamo curled his lips, "In Morihiro's belly, this news was finally obtained. The one who came back was the captain of the Sagiri Ancient Division. He was also responsible for personal protection when he was just replaced by Shuriki, but he realized that there was something wrong, but he was just guessing and not sure."

"In Shouhe's belly?" Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that the old man Liudao is really good at hiding things."

"When I waited after the New Year, I would go to Sand Village in person and resolve this matter at the same time."

"Hmm?" Tamamo said in confusion, "Didn't you say you didn't take action on this matter yourself? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Xuan smiled and said, "You just reminded me that I'll go to the Sand Village to take a look. I'll just take this by the way. I'll add a member to our peripheral organization first. Although he may be a little young now, it doesn't matter."

———————————————————————

The 50th year of Konoha officially arrived when the eager atmosphere had not completely dissipated.

The Haunted Village just finished the New Year and returned to its busy pace. They had to do too much and it was urgent to restore the vitality of the village.

The wind and sand were howling, but it was blocked by the natural barrier of the Sand Village. Even so, the whistling sound of wind and sand was still clearly heard in the house.

A boy about ten years old rubbed his eyes and got up. The room was not big and he could see it at first glance. The boy was very beautiful. Yes, he could no longer be described as handsome, but beautiful, with red hair that was eye-catching.

As he stood up, two figures sat up next to him. After careful observation, he could see clearly that these two figures were not living people, but wooden puppets.

But their appearance is vivid, except that the color of the wood cannot be eliminated, it is almost the same as a real person.

The boy raised his hand, and the two puppets naturally walked down the sleeper and brought his clothes. Only then did he see clearly that his hands were wrapped in slender chakra threads, and he would not notice it without looking carefully.

Putting on his clothes, he cut off the chakra thread from his hands and subconsciously glanced at the table. There was an album on the table, in which two young ninja couples snuggled together with a smile, and in their hands, there was a baby still in swaddling clothes.

It is a very warm photo of a family of three. However, if you are careful, you will find that the two people in the photo have exactly the same faces as the two puppets.

The boy's eyes dimmed, and he silently grabbed the photo, then he pushed open the door and left.

Sand Village is in full recovery period, and he is also very busy.

He is a scorpion, the Red Sand Scorpion. Although he is only ten years old, he is already a famous genius boy in the Sand Village and the legendary grandson of Chiyo.

At a young age, he not only mastered most of the puppet techniques, but also was able to manipulate more than three puppets at once, which is very rare in Sand Hidden Village.

But his role is not limited to this. What he is most famous is that he was able to make puppets at a young age.
