Because we have already given people a holiday in advance...

Those who decided to go to the temple did not drive, but chose to walk.

Fortunately, the nearest temple is not far away, and after eating and drinking, taking a short walk is a good choice. Not to mention, although New Year’s Eve is a bit cold, it is not deserted, and there are many people on the road.

People also choose to walk to nearby temples to celebrate the New Year.

Maybe it's because of the special time...

Or maybe it's because Senju Tobirama is surrounded by his family...

Or maybe everyone is immersed in the joy of family reunion...

So not many people came up to say hello.

Senju Tobirama was also happy and relaxed. After all, he was not as kind as his elder brother. Many times, he didn't even want to talk to people unless necessary. In a sense, being the Hokage was considered a "suffering".

There is a sense of deja vu that "I am afraid of being dragged out of work"... Although, he just doesn't like to communicate too much with stupid people. Most of the time, he prefers to stay alone, which is far from the point of being afraid of society.

The family walks together.

Uzumaki Mito held little Tsunade's hand and walked at the front.

Marri Kitahara and Sachiko Senju holding hands came second.

After that, Senju Shige followed with his hands on his sleeves in a cool and unrestrained manner.

at last……

It's Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Obi who are also holding hands.

Well, looking from a distance... Senju Hashirama's youngest son is undoubtedly the most dazzling single in the crowd.

Qianju Tojian stared at the back of his little nephew, squinted his eyes, and thought: Otherwise... how many blind dates will he help Fan arrange in the new year?

He never thought about this in the past, because being single is really happy. As the saying goes, "It's good to be single for a while, and it's good to be single all the time." However, he has now experienced the joy of falling in love and getting married, and he feels that he is still a little "naive" these years.

"Yes, out of love, he still wanted to share something with his little nephew.

Senju Shige suddenly shivered, then stretched his neck and looked nervously left and right, as alert as a little Shiba Inu.

Senju Tobirama: "..." This child... has inherited his elder brother's intuition very well...

But to be honest, he just thought about it. As the saying goes, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Although he couldn't say he hated arranged marriages since he was a child, he really didn't like them much. Now, in a completely unnecessary

Under such circumstances, why impose them on your beloved family members?

If it’s complicated…

Well, as long as you live happily, that's it.

If you meet someone you can fall in love with, get married. If you don't meet someone, it's not bad to be single. Anyway, the relationship between family members is so good, other people's children are his children, so it's okay. In the future, I will definitely help Fan to take care of him until he is old.

.

"...Tobirama." Uchiha gently squeezed her husband's palm and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by evil intentions?" On his face again...that smile that didn't look like a good person's.

.

Qianju Tobijian: "..." How did you say that... Why did he have bad intentions? He was seriously concerned about his nephew's future. However, why should he contradict his beloved woman for such a trivial matter?

?A man who is so serious will never get a wife. If he gets one, it proves that he has a strong desire to survive... No, it is survival wisdom. So he just turned his head and asked in a gentle tone, "It's getting late, it's cold.

?”

Uchiha shook his head and replied: "It's different from usual. Today I'm wearing a cotton lining under my kimono. Besides, I'm a ninja after all. How could I feel cold just because of the weather~"

"On New Year's Eve, temples usually provide free hot rice wine and red bean soup for people who come to keep warm. I'll line up to get some for you to drink."

"Okay, okay~" Uchiha smiled and nodded, "Then I want to drink rice..."

"Red bean soup." A drop of cold sweat dripped from Qianju Feijian's forehead, "You drink this." If you want to ask why... well, you have to blame his uncontrollable damn curiosity. After learning that she was an adult, he

With the mentality of "I'm an adult anyway, it's okay to drink a little", he committed suicide. Fortunately, he was joking and gave her some medicated wine brewed in the laboratory at the training ground, and the amount was small.

Very, very few, so...the only thing that was destroyed was the entire training ground, which was not very difficult to rebuild.

However, after that, he learned one thing -

People say "Don't disturb a sleeping dragon", she says "Don't disturb a cat when it wakes up". Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.

He even suspected that one day he would take her to the battlefield and drink her a bottle of wine before the battle. She would be able to carry the knife left by her eldest brother and cut her all the way from the Kingdom of Fire to the Kingdom of Water, while still making arrogant and domineering remarks along the way.

Laughing loudly... However, it was just some speculation. How could he actually do the experiment?

She is none other than his wife.

"...Tch~" Uchiha puffed up his face a little guiltily and muttered, "The red bean soup is just red bean soup..." Anyway, she likes red beans.

Not long after.

Everyone arrived at the entrance of the temple and saw a queue.

"Huh?" Senju Tobirama asked in confusion, "Aren't you able to go in directly in previous years? Why do you have to queue up this year?"

Senju Shige immediately "got the order": "Second uncle, you guys line up first, I'll go check out the situation!" After saying that, the little Shiba Inu ran away with his hands in his hands.

"..." Qianju Tobijian shook his head and laughed. He declined some villagers who wanted to give up their positions, and consciously lined up with his family members.

Not long after, Senju Shige ran back, carrying a tray he borrowed from the monk, on which were placed several cups of hot drinks that were being distributed at the entrance of the temple. He said -

"It is said that for this year's New Year's Eve, the monks in the temple wrote blessing symbols on many cloth ribbons, and specially worshiped them in front of the Buddha for a period of time. Now they are giving them to the pilgrims who enter the temple. One piece per person, so it is said that it is for this year's New Year's Eve.

Tie it on the wrist of a man on the left and a woman on the right to spend New Year's Eve praying for peace and, well, luck. So right now, everyone is queuing up to get it."

"That's it." Senju Tobirama nodded, and then he checked the drinks brought back by his nephew. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he first brought a cup of hot rice wine to his sister-in-law, and then brought a cup of red bean soup to his grand-nephew.

Girl and little wife.

As for his niece, there is no need for him to "please" her. After all, she has a particularly attentive husband.

Senju Shige didn't need it from his second uncle. In fact, he had just drank two cups of rice wine when he was talking to the monk, and now it was his third cup~

The team moved quite fast.

Not long after, the family got the cloth from the monk and walked into the temple one by one.

Senju Tobirama carefully checked the cloth strips received by everyone in the family, and only after confirming that there were no problems, he let them tie them on their wrists. He didn't really believe this, and originally didn't want to tie them, but when he saw his little wife happily tying them up,

He stretched out his hand, and he obediently stretched out his left hand, letting her tie it for him, and by the way, he also tied it for her.

"Tobirama, what's next?" Uchiha asked.

"There's nothing deliberately to do." Senju Tobirama replied, "Just hang out here and wait for the New Year's Eve bell. Oh, by the way, if you want to visit the shrine in the New Year, you need to queue up in advance.

"

"Second uncle, you go and have a look." Senju Shige said with a smile, "Leave the queue to me."

"Are you sure?" Qian Shu Feijian raised his eyebrows.

"Is this okay?" Uzumaki Mito asked, "Shige, you really don't want to go shopping together?"

"I've been here many times." Senju Shige replied with a smile, "It's nothing new anymore." This is true. In the past... he liked running around the whole village the most, and his father also liked Buddhism very much.

, so he is fairly familiar with various temples in Konoha.

Seeing his persistence, everyone said nothing more, and then...

Very consciously, we divided into three teams and started wandering around.

Mito Uzumaki with his beloved granddaughter;

Sachiko Senju and her husband formed a team;

Senju Tobirama naturally has to take his little wife with him.

Senju Shige silently looked at the backs of the three groups, thinking: Why do I feel like I am the only one alone... Otherwise... I also get married? No, no, getting married just for this, no matter how you think about it, it is not worthwhile!

Well, as expected, forget it...

Today there are more people in the temple grounds, especially where there are bonfires to keep warm, hot drinks distributed and places where you can write Ema.

On the contrary, there are quite few people in the various Buddhist halls used for people to visit on weekdays.

...It's actually normal. To be honest, on New Year's Eve, with only torches lit, these places full of sculptures look somewhat eerie.

Thinking about it this way, Senju Tobirama, who took his wife to wander in a place like this and also told some legends behind him... Well, at first glance, he doesn't look like a normal human being. Fortunately, his wife was born with a big heart.

He was not afraid of these, but listened with great interest, and made various comments from time to time——

"Hey? Is there such a legend?"

"...Are you sure this person really turned into a woman to test believers? This face... to put it bluntly, I think believers will have nightmares when they see it."

"Hiss...these people really know how to play..."

…

"It would be great if Big Brother were here," Senju Tobirama said with slight emotion at the end, "Most of what I know was told to me by Big Brother."

"After all... he is the one who is interested in these things, not me."

"My eldest brother has also created sculptures with these characters as the theme. These works still have a high status in the sculpture world, but few people know that he is the sculptor behind the pseudonym."
