"That's Lord Amakage!"
"And Lord Amakage's personal guard."
"Not only that, you can see that other high-ranking officials from the village are also there."
"Wow, all these big shots have come out!"
"They went towards the village entrance."
"Village entrance? Hey, I saw the honor guard going to the village entrance earlier."
"Who are we welcoming?"
"I don't know, could it be a shadow from another village?"
"No, look, quite a few merchants went too."
"They are merchants from the Chiba Trading Company."
"Could it be an important figure from the Chiba Trading Company?"
"I don't know, let's go take a look!"
"Let's go, let's go..."
Seeing that it was almost time, Hanzo of the Salamander personally led the high-ranking officials of Amegakure to welcome Tetsuya with the highest level of ceremony.
This attracted many people who enjoy joining in the fun.
In an instant, the entrance to Rain Village was filled with people.
On the wide road outside Rain Hidden Village, dust suddenly rose, as if something was coming from afar.
Soon, a luxurious carriage convoy appeared before everyone's eyes. The lead carriage was pulled by six fine horses, which amazed many people.
The carriages following the lead carriage were mostly drawn by four horses, and the entire convoy was surprisingly luxurious.
"The convoy is here! Fire the cannons and fireworks!"
At a command, cannons fired in unison and fireworks burst forth.
The honor guard lined up in two rows, welcoming the villagers, and the band's drummers began to play their instruments energetically, making the entire village entrance incredibly lively.
Hanzo the Salamander straightened his shadow robe and straw hat once more, preparing to welcome his confidant.
The carriage soon stopped, and a well-to-do middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Hanzo of the Salamander also smiled. Tetsuya's acting was superb, his expressions extremely rich, with three parts surprise, three parts excitement, and four parts involuntary emotion on his face.
Like a middle-aged man meeting his idol, Tetsuya quickly got off the carriage and, accompanied by two servants, walked toward Hanzo the Salamander.
"Hahaha."
Hanzo the Salamander also greeted them with a hearty laugh.
"Mr. Chiba, we've finally met."
"Lord Amekage, I have long admired you. I have heard that you fought bravely against the five great ninja villages on the battlefield and repelled the three legendary ninjas of Konoha. You are truly a hero of the ninja world."
I have the utmost admiration for Lady Amekage. Today, I finally met Lady Amekage in person; it is truly an honor beyond measure.
"Ah, Mr. Chiba, you flatter me. It's hard to find a true friend in life. In this ninja world, how many people understand me, Hanzo of the Salamander? You, Mr. Chiba, are the one I've been searching for."
"Haha, I am honored that Lord Yuying thinks so highly of me."
Tetsuya pointed to the convoy behind him and said.
"I know that Lord Yuying will be officially taking office the day after tomorrow, so I brought you a congratulatory gift. It's just some cheap little trinkets, and I hope you won't find them too cheap."
Hanzo the Salamander looked at the dozen or so carriages. Good heavens, judging from the tracks left by the carriage wheels, there must be a lot of good stuff inside. And there are more than a dozen carriages. You call this worthless?
He truly is a confidant; he's so generous.
"What are you saying? How could I possibly look down on you? You are a rare confidant for me. Come, come, come with me into the village. Since you're here, stay a few more days. I'll show you the local customs and culture of Amegakure."
The two chatted and laughed as they entered Amegakure Village, surrounded by a large crowd.
"There are so many people over there, what are they doing?"
Yahiko and Nagato, who were out shopping, were attracted by the lively commotion in the distance and looked in the direction of the crowd.
"It seems that Lord Amakage has come out to greet some important person."
"Really? Let's go take a look."
Yahiko got excited and immediately dragged Nagato along to join in the fun. Nagato, who was carrying a bunch of things, couldn't refuse Yahiko and had no choice but to follow.
"Excuse me, what happened here? Who is that person with Lady Amekage?"
"Oh, young man, don't you know him? That's the big boss of the Chiba Trading Company, Chiba Tetsuya."
"Sigh! Chiba Tetsuya! Isn't that old...?"
Yahiko was about to say, "Isn't that the teacher?" when Nagato grabbed him before he could finish speaking.
Nagato reminded her in a low voice.
"Yahiko, don't forget, the teacher said we shouldn't reveal our identities outside."
"Ouch."
Yahiko nodded repeatedly and smiled at the man from before.
"Oh, so that's the big boss of Chiba Trading Company. But I heard he was very young and handsome. How come this Chiba boss is so old?"
The passerby explained with a smile.
"Haha, I know, bro, the one you're talking about is Chiba Ryo, the son of Boss Chiba, right?"
I heard that the big boss of Chiba moved behind the scenes a long time ago and is now semi-retired, handing over the business of Chiba Trading Company to Chiba Ryo.
The young and handsome guy you see is probably Chiba Ryo.
"Oh, I see."
The two nodded, their expressions showing a sense of understanding.
However, this was all an act, after all, as Chiba Tetsuya's disciples, they knew the truth of everything.
There is no such thing as Chiba Ryo; Chiba Tetsuya and Chiba Ryo are the same person.
Tetsuya, who was surrounded by the crowd, sensed something at that moment and looked in the direction where Nagato and Yahiko were.
Sure enough, he spotted that striking red and orange color in the crowd.
Having spent so much time with the three of them, he was extremely familiar with their chakra.
Moreover, as time went on, his Sage Mode training became increasingly refined, and his perception of chakra became exceptionally acute.
He nodded and smiled in their direction.
Upon seeing that familiar smile, the two immediately understood what was going on.
"There's no mistake, it must be the teacher."
"But why did the teacher have to become like this?"
"Hmm, the teacher must have a serious illness to do this."
"Makes sense."
The two whispered a few words to each other, then turned and left.
They were already used to it; after all, when they lived in Chiba Manor, Tetsuya didn't like to play by the rules.
So much so that now that Tetsuya has become a middle-aged, greasy uncle and has come to Amegakure, people just assume he has some outrageous ideas.
"Forget it, let's go back. Xiao Nan is still waiting for us."
"Let's go."
Watching the two leave, Zhe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Tsk, these two rebellious disciples, don't they even come to greet their master? They could at least wave a greeting, it's not like they need to clap and cry at the same time."
"What's wrong, Mr. Chiba?"
Hanzo the Salamander, a ninja, noticed Tetsuya's gaze directed in a certain direction, but he didn't find anything unusual when he looked over.
"Haha, it's nothing. I thought I saw someone I knew, but after looking closely it doesn't seem to be them. I must have mistaken them for someone else."
