After two hours of struggle, Xuan took a light-colored robe from the little maid and draped it over her body, looking energetic.

"Yes." Uzumaki Mito held her chin and blinked her beautiful eyes, "What does this look good."

Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be exhausted, and he was more tired than a battle with Hashirama Senju.

Immediately, Mito and the little maid changed into new clothes, their faces were radiant, brighter than usual.

The little maid took out the items prepared in advance, white paper and other items, and started the fixed arrangement during the Chinese New Year, offering sacrifices to the gods, sweeping the courtyards, and exorcising evil spirits. She was very skillful in completing it.

Uzumaki Mito also helped. They were all indigenous people of this world and naturally knew the customs of the New Year.

Xuan sat in the hall, with the two sides pushing the door open. Seeing the two of them busy and yawning bored, he found that he had become the one who was the most idle again.

On the last day of the year, there are always endless things to do. When the little maid and Mito walk through the basics, it is already setting sun. The winter sun seems to be unable to stand this cold weather and always hides very quickly.

The little maid prepared a lot of ingredients and was busy in the kitchen. The aroma of the food drifted with the cold wind, which attracted the greed in her stomach.

Mito and Gen sat opposite each other, looking at the darker and darker sky outside the door, the sound of firecrackers were faintly heard in the distance.

"It's about to have a meal, the last meal of this year." Uzumaki Mito smiled, and his green onion fingers slashed around the edge of the teacup.

"Hmm?" Xuan turned his head to look at her, and asked inquiring.

"According to custom tonight, we have to watch the night. The whole family is together, but there seems to be one person missing in our family." Mito's smile remained unchanged and he said softly.

Xuan was stunned for a moment, and a cold figure appeared in his mind.

Uzumaki Mito didn't urge him, but just looked at him with a smile.

After a while, Xuan sighed slightly and stood up and said, "I'll go and call her back."

"Well, we're waiting for you at home." Uzumaki Mito said motionlessly, "Come back early, Xiaoying will be ready for the meal soon."

After leaving the house, Xuan looked up and saw that the sun was about to disappear below the horizon. The light gradually faded in this world, and the streets were very deserted. The tribesmen were waiting at home for the New Year’s Eve dinner. After the meal, the tribesmen would quickly become lively.

As he walked towards the Uchiha ancestral hall, Chiang was thinking about what reason to use to make Hinata Tamamo go home with him.

He was also confused about Hinata Tamamo's feelings. At first, he had a resentment towards her.

Even though I had not offended her, I siege myself again and again, especially in my childhood, which was one of my few injuries.

It is also because of this that Xuancai must destroy Hinata later.

But at the moment when the Hinaga tribe was destroyed by him, the hatred in Qian's heart had actually dissipated most of the time. Afterwards, he had more of a complex feeling when facing Hinaga Tamamo, even he couldn't explain it clearly.

But people are always like this, especially men. They may not remember those girls who obey you, but they will definitely remember the one who hurts you the most.

Hinata Tamamo is undoubtedly the one who hurts Chin the most. In that childhood, she left a heavy touch in Chin's heart, and I think it would not be washed away for many years.

"It's really a tangle." Xuan looked up and sighed. During the time he was walking, the sun had completely hidden below the horizon. The moon quietly rose into the sky, sprinkling silver light.

It took him ten minutes to walk to the ancestral hall.

Although he knew that there was a contract of the Goddess, Hinata Tamamo could not disobey her orders, but this time, Gen did not want to force her to order her.

Because what he wanted was not a puppet who could only obey orders.

When I arrived at the ancestral hall, there were candlelights lit up inside. Xuan stepped into it. In front of the tablet of the ancestors of the Uchiha family, it had been replaced with a new incense, surrounded by clouds and smoke.

Walking to the rear, opening the passage and heading down directly, he knew that Hinata Tamamo must be at the bottom, because she had no place to go except here. It was even more fantasy to expect her to take the initiative to return to the yard of Gen.

"Deputy Clan Chief."

As soon as they stepped into the first floor, a Uchiha man shrouded in black robe appeared to salute. They were the power to protect Uchiha in secret and the hardest-working group of people in the Uchiha family. When others can cheer and relax for the New Year, they should be more vigilant and guard against all possible threats.

Fortunately, the war with Qianshou was truceeded this year, and the entire south was wiped out apart a few years ago. The huge Fire Country no longer had the power to threaten Uchiha.

In this case, Madara ordered them to reduce the intensity of the alert this year and even allow them to stay together in private.

Gen nodded at him, "Where is Hinata Tamamo?"

"Princess Tamamo is in the secret room on the third floor, still reading the materials." The Hinin replied respectfully.

Xuan waved his hand and signaled that he understood. Then the ninja disappeared.

He went straight to the third floor and did not see a single intelligence ninja along the way, but Aoi could clearly sense their breath. Even after Madara gave the order, they were still loyal to their duties.

The stone door was pushed open under Xuan's palm. The stone room was dark and unclear. The bonfires on both sides burned, illuminating half of the stone room.

"Who?" A crisp sound rang out. Hinata Tamamo looked up. When she saw that it was Ken, she was slightly stunned. Then she remained silent and lowered her head again, reading the information she had just collected in her hand.

Xuan sighed lightly and walked towards her.

Hearing the steps, Hinata Tamamo said calmly without raising her head: "I've got a little bit surprised when you told me. I may have a preliminary result in a few months. You don't have to come here in person during the New Year."

Xuan looked at her and said calmly: "I'm here now, not to give you the task. For the New Year, we won't talk about the task."

Hinata Tamamo's eyes paused slightly, and she looked up with a little confusion, "It's not for the mission, so what are you doing?"

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Xuan's mouth and whispered: "Today is the Great Day, I'm going to stay up to the New Year. I'll take you home for the New Year."

In an instant, Xuan saw the pupils in her eyes shrink suddenly, but after a moment he returned to calm.

"My home is not in Uchiha."
