Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

Chapter 1502 Promised Fate

"That's great. It means you are no longer the ignorant daimyo from more than a year ago. Now you are truly a ruler who can stand on your own."

Lan scratched his head and said, "All this is thanks to you. Without your guidance, I wouldn't have made such rapid progress."

Xinyu shook her head seriously: "That is your own ability. I just told you how to handle things. All the improvements are the result of your own hard work."

"Today's achievements are the fruits of your hard work."

"I believe you will become even better in the future. I hope that when we meet again next time, I will have heard the news of the revival of the Whirlpool Country."

Lan was silent for a moment. Xinyu's blessings to him made him bury his love even deeper.

It seemed that there was no need to say it at all.

Seeing Lan's expression, Xinyu smiled and said, "I know what you mean."

Before Lan could react, Xinyu said, "You should also know how I feel."

"But both of us have things we can't give up. You can't abandon your country and stay in Konoha Village, and I can't give up everything I've worked hard for and go to the Land of Whirlpools with you."

"Perhaps our fate may end here, but I will still remember what you said to me. Maybe we will have a chance to continue to be together in the future? If you don't get married by then."

Lan felt mixed emotions. Just as Xinyu said, they each had things that they couldn't give up.

This is not something that can be solved by who makes sacrifices for whom, because a truly good relationship does not require such great sacrifices.

No matter whether it is Lan or Xinyu, whoever chooses to give up will be ruining his or her own life.

Adults cannot make such childish and irresponsible decisions, so after calming down, saying goodbye is the best option.

Just as Xinyu said, perhaps we will have a chance to get along with each other again in the future.

Because the job of Hokage's secretary means that there is not much opportunity to get along with others.

Most of the time is devoted to work.

The same goes for Lan. To him, the most important thing is to get things done in the Whirlpool Country, and everything else has to take a back seat.

So it is naturally impossible to get married after returning to China.

From this point of view, the fate between the two people does not seem to be completely severed.

If there really comes a day when fate renews itself, then perhaps this would be the best choice.

"I hope that day will come, but no matter what, we all need to live a good life, accomplish everything we want to accomplish, and achieve the goals we have worked hard for."

Xinyu tilted her head to look at Lan. The morning sun outside the window shone on her body. Her smile was bright and brilliant: "Okay, we have a deal."

After Lan came out of the Hokage Building, he let out a long sigh. He did not feel depressed, but instead felt relaxed.

He had always been afraid that Xinyu didn't understand his thoughts, but now it seemed that he had been seen through a long time ago.

And Xinyu still has a good impression of him, and knowing this is enough.

Just as the two had agreed, when they meet again, everything will have a result.

He had just taken a few steps towards the Yunzhong tribe's territory when the phone in his pocket rang.

"Hey?"

"Lan? Where have you been? Are you not planning to return home?"

Hearing Zhili's voice, Lan quickly apologized: "Sorry to bother you Zhili, I just went to deal with some personal issues, I will return to the Yunzhong tribe now!"

"Well, as soon as possible, we have to leave at half past ten."

Lan glanced at the time. It was ten o'clock.

In other words, in half an hour, he would leave Konoha Village and return to his home which he had been away from for a long time.

He quickly returned to the Yunzhong tribe's territory and found many people gathered in the yard.

Everyone from the Yunzhong tribe is here, including Youhong and the others.

"You're back. Come over here. This is a simple farewell party for you."

Qufeng called Lan and asked him to come to the center of the yard.

We sang a farewell song together, the lyrics of which meant a peaceful and smooth future.

Lan was deeply touched and thanked him repeatedly.

"Why are you being polite? You have lived in Konoha Village for so long, and we are all family. Besides, the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha Village are old friends."

"Don't talk too much. Eat something first. You will be flying back to the Whirlpool Country soon."

"Fei?" Lan was a little confused, but before he could think about it, he was dragged to eat.

Coincidentally, Youhong was sitting next to him.

"Lan, you are going back soon. I really want to thank you again and again for your help and contribution to the Uzumaki clan. Without you, it would not be easy for the Uzumaki clan to develop."

Lan smiled and shook his head: "It is the result of the joint efforts of the family, not my ability alone, that has made this possible."

"In the final analysis, it's all about working together. Otherwise, I would be helpless."

This is also what worries Lan the most right now. The people of the Whirlpool Country may not necessarily agree with him. Instead, they may even oppose him.

In this case, it will be much more difficult to handle many things.

"Lan, although I am an old man with little ability and my words may not be useful, I still want to tell you something."

"Senior Youhong, please speak."

"You have such a good temper, and you are always kind when you communicate with everyone. But if you are kind for too long, people will think you have no temper, and that will be troublesome."

"It was fine when you were in the Uzumaki clan before, but now you are going back to the Land of Whirlpools. If a daimyo can't use both kindness and force and only knows how to get along with others in a friendly way, that won't work."

After hearing these remarks, Lan felt that they made sense. He had always believed that his temper was too mild.

"The higher your position, the more you need to have your own temper. It doesn't mean you should always be sour-faced and arrogant, but you should make people feel that you are dignified, just like Hokage-sama and Fuu-sama."

After thinking about it seriously, Lan said, "I understand what you mean, but it's a little difficult to change in a short time. However, I will pay attention to this problem and change it gradually. Thank you very much."

Youhong smiled and waved his hands: "Why thank me? Compared with the help you gave us, this is really not worth mentioning. I just hope it can be of some help to you in managing the country in the future. After all, people are strong-minded."

"I understand. Thank you, senior."

What Tomohiro said was right, and Lan also understood the meaning of this sentence. A daimyo who was too kind might make the people feel insecure.
