SWNOVELXO Chapter 108: Chapter 108
These two... were obviously aiming for his life.
Fujiwara Tetsuya's attitude at this moment. Does it matter? It doesn't matter. Even if he opposed, it would still end up like now.
Sandwiched between Uchiha Mikoto and Koharu Tatsu.
Like a puppet on strings. Moving forward continuously with their actions and pace, until late evening.
After Fujiwara Tetsuya successively sent Koharu Tatsu and Uchiha Mikoto home, he finally settled down.
At nightfall, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally returned to the entrance of the clan compound. The compound of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clans.
With the increasing mission rewards Fujiwara Tetsuya received, it had been renovated to varying degrees.
The vacant land around the compound, on the edges, tall walls were built. The houses inside were almost all repaired, especially the roofs, replaced with new wooden slats and tiles. No longer needing to endure the rain's caress during the rainy season.
Additionally, every house was connected to electricity.
Even standing at the compound gate the brilliant light from inside the houses could still be seen.
'Indeed, this battlefield of love is not something just anyone can enjoy.'
After pausing for several seconds. Fujiwara Tetsuya took a deep breath. Clearing his mind of distractions, he quickly stepped into the yard.
"Tetsuya-oniisan."
"Tetsuya-oniisan is back…"
At night, Fujiwara Tetsuya lay on the newly purchased bed, hands behind his head, quietly gazing at the moonlight outside the window.
Recalling all the experiences of the past year or so.
Over the past year and more, team Thirteen underwent countless dangerous missions. Fujiwara Tetsuya displayed his strength and leadership ability, completely qualified to serve as Team Thirteen's captain.
Precisely due to this consideration, two months ago, when Yuhi Shin returned to Konoha from the southern border with Sato Kaiko—
No, it should be called Yuhi Kaiko and her child.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't let Yuhi Shin rejoin Team Thirteen.
Instead, he transferred him to another team to serve as a Jonin instructor.
Indeed, some people, some things. Once missed, are truly missed.
Although they had deep feelings for Yuhi Shin, but now Koharu Tatsu is also one of their companions.
Don't be fooled by Uchiha Mikoto and Koharu Tatsu occasionally competing against each other.
However, Fujiwara Tetsuya clearly understood in his heart. Deep down, there was a soft place in both their hearts engraved with the other's image.

About two days after Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru's return, the exciting news finally spread from the Sarutobi clan.
The wife of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Biwako, finally gave birth to their second son, Asuma Sarutobi.
Outside the Sarutobi clan compound, Fujiwara Tetsuya quietly gazed at the Sarutobi clan's gate.
Like most ninja clans and ninjas in Konoha, he represented the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clans in presenting a small gift to the Third Hokage's younger son.
With Asuma's birth, the next one or two years, Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai, these new-generation ninjas will also be born.
"It's finally about to stir." Fujiwara Tetsuya's murmur echoed in the wind.
When some sharp gazes swept over, that thin figure had already dissipated into a wisp of mist.
———
Since the events of Misty Island, after Kaguya Kamikawa returned to Misty Island from Kirigakure, his methods had grown more covert and frenzied.
Over the past year or more, the casualties among the Uzumaki clan ninjas kept increasing.
Forcing the Land of Whirlpools to shift more missions toward Konoha.
In the northern sea of the Land of Whirlpools, a sturdy ship braved the waves. Onboard, aside from several helmsmen, there were four figures standing at the bow.
These four were none other than Team Thirteen led by Fujiwara Tetsuya.
As for why they chose to come to a place like the Land of Whirlpools, naturally, it was because the current Land of Whirlpools is the optimal place to gain kill points and mission rewards.
Gazing at the distant circling seabirds, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes carried a hint of emotion.
The Uzumaki clan, which once suppressed a village and a nation, was finally stepping down from its pedestal.
The situation in the Land of Whirlpools, was far more complex and dangerous than outsiders could see. Now, the surrounding seas of the Land of Whirlpools were blocked by countless forces.
Ninjas from various villages under disguise, Rogue ninjas, Missing-nin, and bounty ninjas, all sorts of scum had appeared.
All hoping to tear a piece from the turmoil in the Land of Whirlpools. And all of this was because of, the supreme leader of the Uzumaki clan.
The only openly acknowledged Kage-level powerhouse of the Land of Whirlpools.
Uzumaki Ashina.
After enduring endless battles for many years, this clan leader of the Uzumaki clan was finally succumbing to his body's limitations.
According to the information Fujiwara Tetsuya accidentally obtained from Uzumaki Namihana and Uzumaki Heiji, it might only be a matter of a few months. The situation in the Land of Whirlpools, Did Konoha know about it? Of course, they did.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado—these Konoha higher-ups, knew far more clearly than anyone else.
Teams like Team Thirteen, carrying out missions in the Land of Whirlpools, aside from fulfilling the Land of Whirlpools' commissions, also bore another mission.
That was to gather intelligence on the current situation in the Land of Whirlpools.
