Chapter 39: Return to Konoha, Yume's Unique Alchemy

  A short while later, outside the gates of Konohagakure...

  At this time, a red-haired girl with a height of about 158cm, wearing a white bathrobe-style kimono, stood in front of the gate with her luggage, her big bright eyes constantly looking around.

  "Back here again, it's been about four years, I suppose." This little girl was, of course, our now ten-year-old Xiaomeng. Although Xiaomeng was only actually ten years old at this time, her height had already reached that of an average thirteen-year-old.

  "Who are you? What brings you to Konohagakure?" At this time, a gatekeeper ninja came before Meng Leng, but when he saw Meng Leng's appearance, he couldn't help but stare.

  Although Meng Ling is not yet at the age of a girl's development, she is completely a 'princess', but her appearance and temperament have undergone tremendous changes after practicing the "Tian Dao Nine Decisions", completely removing that hint of incompatibility, with a tender and delicate air that is slightly childish.

  "My name is Shen Ruyue Mengling, this time I'm just back, the third generation of Fire Shadow grandfather knows." Mengling put down her own package and said lightly.

  "You're saying you're Kaguya Mitsuki? The girl who followed Kakashi on an A-rank mission when she was just five years old?" the extra ninja asked in surprise.

  "Yes, I can go in now." Looking at the dragon-suited ninja in front of her, Meng Leng felt a sense of helplessness.

  "Well, in that case, follow me. I'll take you to meet the Third Hokage." The extra ninja said and started guiding Meng Ling.

  "Alas..." Meng Ling sighed, picked up the package on the ground and followed.

  At this time, in the great hall of the Fire Shadow, at this time, the three generations of Fire Shadow were leisurely smoking and reviewing the documents on the table.

  "Bang, bang, bang..." At this time, a knock at the door was heard.

  "Please come in." The Third Hokage said.

  "Excuse me." Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, the Dragon Guard Ninja immediately led Muhyo in.

  "Oh? Who is this?" The Third Hokage's eyes lit up as he asked after seeing Mu Lin.

  "I didn't believe it at first, but it seems that the teacher of the Good Color Immortal is indeed a big pervert. " Meng Ling looked at the Third Generation Fire Shadow with her own eyes, and her whole body trembled."

  "It's been a long time, Third Hokage." Meng Ling put down her own package and bowed to the Third Hokage, but perhaps only in this way could she avoid meeting the Third Hokage's gaze that made her scalp tingle.

  "Oh, who are you?" The Third Hokage also noticed his own loss of composure and immediately regained his demeanor, exhaling a mouthful of smoke. He asked faintly.

  "I said, great-grandfather of three generations, I've only been away for four years, you won't have forgotten about it already, will you?" Meng Ling asked somewhat helplessly.

  "You... could it be... Shion?" The Third Hokage asked cautiously.

  "This isn't me? The Third Hokage's grandfather is really forgetful." Yuelin smiled and said.

  "You said it was two years back then, how did you leave for four years and didn't even send a message?" The Third Hokage asked.

  "This time I returned to the family and found a way of cultivation, so I stayed for a long time. I'm very sorry." Meng Ling said with a slight apology.

  "Oh, I won't ask much about that. This time you're back, are you going to directly become a Jonin or go to the Ninja Academy to study first? In my opinion, you don't need to go to the Ninja Academy to study anymore." The Third Hokage asked directly.

  "I think it's no longer necessary, after all, this time I've already returned two years late. Originally, I was preparing to spend these two years entering the Ninja Academy for training. But now there's no more time." Dreaming thought in her heart, still nodding her head in agreement with the Third Hokage's opinion.

  "Alright, since that's the case, then you come here this afternoon to register, and tomorrow I'll take you to meet your captain and teammates." The Third Hokage puffed out a mouthful of smoke, speaking seriously.

  "In that case, I'll take my leave first, Third Generation Hokage Grandfather." Meng Ling smiled and said.

  "Hmm, right, your previous house is already occupied by someone else. I will arrange a new place for you as soon as possible." The Third Hokage reminded him.

  "No need, Third Hokage, I'll just live in Naruto's building. Anyway, the villagers absolutely won't live there. This way, I can also go visit Naruto, it's been a long time since I've seen him." After saying that, Mengying bowed again and walked out calmly.

  "It seems that Mei Terumi's friendship with Naru is indeed profound." Looking at Mei's back figure who had already reached the first floor, and then looking at the portrait of the four Hokage on the wall, the Third Hokage's mouth corner rose into a faint smile.

  But at this time, Meng Ling had already arrived on the main street of Konohagakure, and the first place she wanted to go was the ninja tool shop in Konohagakure.

  "Although I have many divine artifacts on me, I still prefer to use some more ordinary weapons." Meng Ling arrived at a ninja tool shop, observed the appearance of various ninja tools, measured their size and weight, and then bought back some explosive cloth. After that, she came to Naruto's residence.

  "It seems that Naruto should be in the Ninja Academy now, and it seems that there is no time to find him now. I'll just finish my things first." As she said this, Meng Ling looked at the wrapped bundle of clothes on her hand and came to a door about the same size as Naruto's room next door.

  "Such a keyhole... then..." Meng Leng stretched out her hand to explore the keyhole of the room door and smiled slightly.

  "Steel Physique - Transformation." Dreaming lightly said a sentence, immediately transformed her own body into steel physique, and then condensed a key in her right hand.

  "If I had my current abilities when I was on Earth, I wouldn't be sure whether to go back and pick the lock or not." Meng Ling smiled as she inserted the key she made into the keyhole of the door, and with just one turn...

  With a crisp "click" sound, Meng Ling finally arrived at her new home.

  "Hmm... Alright, now let's start crafting my 'Jingjin Weapon'. Diamond physique - transformation." Meng Ling spread out his hands and transformed his elemental physique once again.

  "Diamond physique - Obsidian Gold." Only to see Meng Ling's hands holding forward, it seemed as if something was gathering towards her hands, gradually forming a small whirlpool.

  "First, the two main attack shuriken. Let's use the three-leaf-shaped shuriken used by the Fourth Hokage when using space-time ninjutsu as a prototype." Meng Ling knew that almost every ninja would wear two main attack-type shuriken on their thighs, which were slightly larger than the ordinary shuriken in the ninja tool pack. To make them look like ordinary shuriken, Meng Ling had deliberately chosen black diamonds with the same material and color as ordinary shuriken as the alchemy material. Now that Meng Ling had cultivated the "Tian Dao Jiu Duan", his ability to control the elemental fruit had also increased significantly. The two custom-made three-leaf-shaped shuriken fell into Meng Ling's hands as he slowly clenched his fists.

  "Alright." Mèng Líng took out the cloth she had bought and wrapped it around San'yū Kusuo's hilt, just like in the ninja tool shop, so her hands wouldn't slip.

  "Done..." Meng Ling clapped her hands, placing two fully completed triple-bladed daggers on the table. Then, she took some explosive cloth and made some small, throwable daggers and hand-held swords, putting them all into her Qing Tian's Jade Storage before walking out of her room.

  At this time, it was already afternoon...

  "First go get the ninja registration, then go find something to eat. Sigh, I'm almost out of money." Meng Ling looked at all the money on her body and said helplessly.

  "We still need to go take pictures first, what a hassle." After saying that, Meng Ling headed towards the Huo Ying building.

  After that, Meng Ling successfully registered her own ninja information and after receiving the forehead protector with the Konoha symbol on it, she wore it around her neck like Uzumaki did.

  Meng Ling originally didn't fill her own stomach, and she thought that registering her information would only take a short while. She didn't expect that after finishing all these things, it was already almost dark outside.

  "Although I've cultivated the 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue' and can survive by absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, I still can't keep going on like this. I'd better go comfort my five internal organs." With that thought, Meng Leng headed straight for a ramen shop called "Yi Le".

  "It's been a long time since I came here, but it looks like nothing has changed." Before long, Meng Ling arrived at the Yile Ramen shop and after opening the sunshade, she saw those two familiar figures busy again.

  "Uncle, give me a bowl of special Niu Doulamian." Meng Ling said loudly.

  "Ah..." Upon hearing the extremely sweet voice behind him, La Mian Shu (Uncle Noodles) was clearly taken aback. When he turned his head to look back, he felt a bit numb.

  "Who is this? There's no one as beautiful as her in Konohagakure!" At that moment, the first to regain their composure was Ayame standing beside them.

  "I'm telling you, uncle, I've only been away for about four years and you've already forgotten me, someone who worked for you?!" Meng Ling was puzzled in her heart, "Have all the people in Muyevillage contracted amnesia or something? Why do they all forget me every time we meet again?"

  "Could it be... you're... Meng Ling?" Chou Pu asked tentatively.

  "It's me, Irisesister, you've become prettier, and uncle, you're also more robust." Meng Ling saw that he had already remembered himself, and immediately put on a smiling face.

  "Really? You're still so good at talking, then today's meal is on me to celebrate our little Mengling successfully becoming a ninja." Ramen Uncle looked at the forehead protector on Mengling's neck and smiled kindly.

  "Oh? Found out? Hehe, Uncle's observation skills are really impressive." Meng Ling chuckled and said.

  "It's really changed a lot, just four years without seeing each other, our little Meng has become a little beauty, it's really 'a bud waiting to bloom'." Hu Die said with a smile.

  "Ugh..." Upon hearing this sentence, Meng Ling also felt a chill run down her spine, thinking to herself that if they knew she actually had the personality of a man, it would be strange if they weren't scared to death.

  "Uncle... give me a bowl of special ramen quickly." At this time, a child's voice sounded from behind Meng Ling, and then Meng Ling saw a little boy with golden hair sitting beside him.

  "Hey, isn't this Xiao Mingren......" said La Mian Shu Shu with a smile.
