Naruto: Falling from the sky into Hashirama's arms

"What? You brought the whole Shui Wuyue family with you?"

Lin Sang stared wide-eyed at Hozuki Yuichi in front of her in disbelief.

Recently, Hashirama and his group have also been dealing with the issue of other ninja clans joining.

However, they are mostly ninja clans from the Land of Fire, while clans like Minazuki and Hozuki are from the distant Land of Water.

The two countries don't even share a border.

That's why Lin Sang was so surprised.

"Yes, we originally only planned to bring some of our family members out, but then some things happened..."

Hozuki Yuichi explained the situation to Hayashi-san.

The Land of Water is a very... magical country.

In a time when wars are fought primarily by ninjas, ninjas should theoretically be valued. Even if those in power truly value them, they wouldn't resort to massacres.

Yes, it was massacre.

For ninjas, the most important thing is talent, and good talent often comes from their unique bloodline.

This refers to the so-called bloodline ninja.

The situation in the Land of Water seemed to be somewhat the opposite, which Lin Sang found rather strange.

As far as he knew, the Land of Water didn't seem to like bloodline ninjas. He thought this situation would only arise after the village was built, but he didn't expect it to start now.

Lin Sang truly couldn't understand.

With this question lingering in her mind, Lin Sang simply asked it aloud.

Upon hearing Lin Sang's question, Uzumaki Mito and Hozuki Yuichi, who were standing next to him, both laughed.

"That's not the case, Lord Lin. The status of ninjas in the Land of Water is still very high. It's just that... there are always weak clans wherever you go."

Hozuki Yuichi's smile looked somewhat forced.

Mito Uzumaki thought to herself, "My fellow countryman really does seem a bit naive."

However, she didn't say it out loud.

Lin Sang fell silent for a moment, and then said, "That's true."

He's oversimplifying things.

This is a real world, yet he always seems to view people and things in a stereotypical way.

In short, the topic was rather heavy, so Lin Sang quickly changed the subject.

Have you thought about what to do next?

The ninja clans of today are much freer than they were after the villages were established, but most ninja clans will not choose to leave their original country unless absolutely necessary.

Although it is somewhat troublesome, it still has a considerable degree of autonomy.

"I was thinking that after joining Konoha, I'd have my clansmen complete the tasks assigned by the village..."

Hozuki Yuichi didn't really understand these things, so he continued to use his old, habitual way of thinking.

When this topic came up, Lin Sang became very energetic.

He wasn't very good at the previous area, but he felt that there was absolutely no one in the entire Hidden Leaf City who was better at this than him.

He's best at things like getting rich.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of things from here on out. I've made arrangements for you and Minazuki..."

Lin Sang shared some of her methods with the other party, giving them a general idea.

To be honest, the abilities of both the Hozuki and Minazuki clans are actually quite convenient.

It seems very practical for both infrastructure construction and business.

The Hozuki clan's bloodline limit 'Water Transformation Technique' allows them to transform their bodies into liquid at will and manipulate that liquid, which seems very suitable for exploration and rescue.

As for Minazuki, I feel like she could be good at creating complex frozen drinks or developing cold chain transportation...

It seems I'm thinking a bit too far ahead.

Hozuki Yuichi waited for Lin-san's eloquent speech, but there were still quite a few parts he didn't understand, and he was anxious.

Today's main purpose is to inform Lord Lin that he has brought Hozuki, Minazuki, and some others to join Konoha.

The subsequent matters obviously cannot be decided quickly in just one afternoon.

He just felt that... what Lord Lin Sang was describing to him was somewhat unrealistic.

Engineering exploration, rescue and protection...

It sounded wonderful; it was something he had never imagined before.

As expected of... Lord Lin Sang.

Mito Uzumaki, on the other side, had been watching all of this the whole time. The last time she saw her fellow villager working so diligently was a year ago.

My memories of it have already faded a bit.

Now, watching him talk so eloquently to Hozuki Yuichi, it's as if his whole being is glowing.

That's amazing.

The vortex protected her body, and she leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the wooden ceiling above.

Her eyesight is good enough to see the patterns clearly; it's great that she can recognize Lin Sang.

"That's all for today. By the way, how's the situation on your end?"

Hashirama Senju and Rin were sitting face to face, eating dinner.

However, there were no children at home, so Lin-san guessed that Yuki wouldn't be back for another week.

Hashirama Senju placed a piece of food on Lin Sang's plate: "Regarding the addition of other humans? Everything has been settled. All that's left is for you to go through the final review process over there..."

When Lin Sang heard Hashirama say this, he knew that the Senju people must have already reviewed it, and he couldn't help but admire his speed and caution.

"I never expected the first to join would be the ninja clan from the Land of Water..."

Lin Sang sighed.

"Haha, that just shows how great our Konoha City is. But there's another reason too. Neither Hozuki nor Mizuki are considered powerful ninja clans, and they're from the Land of Water. As for the ninja clans around us, there are more things to consider, so it'll be a bit slower."

Hashirama Senju explained to Lin Sang.

Hearing Hashirama say this, Lin Sang suddenly realized that it was true; it was precisely because they were so close that their relationship was somewhat complicated.

However, he didn't really know much about this aspect.

"I see... Speaking of which, it's so quiet without Yuki at home, I'm not used to it..."

Lin Sang subconsciously glanced to the side; this was the spot where Yuki and the others usually sat when they ate together.

Hearing Lin Sang's words, Hashirama Senju raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, are you implying that if things are quiet, we can have another one?"

Lin Sang almost spat out her food: "Cough cough, how can you say that so easily!"

Besides, Yuki is still so young, having another child would be too hasty...

More importantly, why did Hashirama say that line in such an ambiguous way?!

It's like he gave birth to her.

Seeing Lin Sang's performance, Hashirama Senju smiled and said, "Then let's wait until Yuki is a little older, around two or three years old... that should be about right."

Lin Sang looked Senju Hashirama up and down, and remained silent for a long time.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Lin Sang was staring at him without saying a word, Hashirama Senju asked.

Lin Sang extended his index finger and placed his hand on Hashirama Senju's chin, and Hashirama Senju raised his head slightly in response to Lin Sang's touch.

"Speaking of which, Hashirama, you look so honest, but you have such a strong personality."
