Konoha.

After completing the mission, the pressure on the Konoha ninja army in the Country of Yu was relieved.

Because he clearly saw the return of the ninja army from Kumogakure Village, Jiraiya's pressure suddenly eased a lot, so he gave Toneri a period of leave.

After all, when Danzo took command, all kinds of difficult and dangerous tasks were handed over to him. With the continuous high-intensity tasks for half a year, Jiraiya was really worried that the string in his heart would be broken.

It won't be too tight and cause it to break.

So after he completed this mission, he immediately chose to give Toneri a holiday.

Along with them, there were those ninjas who had not rested for a long time on the battlefield of Yuno Country, as well as those ninjas who were seriously injured to the point of being disabled or losing their ability to fight.

Ninjas are also human beings, and they will get tired if they are always on the battlefield, so it is very necessary to relax appropriately.

Some time ago, there was nothing we could do. The crisis in Cloud Hidden Village and Iwagakure Village was imminent, so the holidays for all ninjas were lifted. But now that the crisis is coming, we can let everyone rest again.

Currently, Kumogakure's ninja army in Yuno Country only has 4,000 people left, and Jiraiya also has more than 3,000 people. As long as they don't take the initiative to attack, there is absolutely no problem in defense.

The vast team and the small team escorting supplies entered the hidden village of Konoha, cheered by the residents of Konoha.

Also coming to welcome their return were the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and three Hokage advisors.

When they entered Konoha, there were overwhelming cheers that resounded through the sky.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face also smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Among the many cheers, the loudest and most exciting ones were undoubtedly those shouting Toneri's name and his title of "Konoha Aangmao".

As arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen, since Tonero and Namikaze Minato have achieved today's feat of turning the tide of the battle alone, Konoha will naturally give them enough cheers, enough sense of accomplishment, and enough

of honor.

Let the residents of Konoha understand who allowed them to live a peaceful and stable life.

Toneri is a meritorious official and a hero, and the people who came back with him are all heroes of Konoha, but compared to his outstanding performance, they seem a bit dim.

Of course, this was not just cheers. Among the many cheers, there were also many slight sobs.

Some were holding their injured family members and crying silently, but others were holding the bodies of their companions, relatives, and lovers and weeping there.

War is cruel. Some people become living heroes, and naturally some people will become dead heroes.

It has to be said that among the many cheers, these crying people look even sadder after watching them.

However, they all knew that today was the time for the heroes of Konoha to return, so no matter how sad or uncomfortable they were, they tacitly covered their mouths and tried not to let their mentality affect the joy of most people.

.

But the more they behave like this, the more distressing they become.

Shiren, who was walking at the front, undoubtedly noticed this and felt a little bitter and helpless in his heart.

This is war...

Immediately afterwards, Toneri stretched out his hand and raised his fist to signal everyone to stop walking and cheering.

Seeing his action, everyone almost subconsciously stopped and closed their mouths.

I found a place and stood at the highest point.

Everyone's eyes followed his movements, even Sarutobi Hiruzen was no exception.

Toneri pursed his lips and scanned the audience. Most people had joy on their faces, but many people were affected by those who were crying.

"We! We should be grateful to all our companions who were willing to sacrifice their lives for Konoha. Some of them we brought back, but some...we couldn't bring them back.

No matter what! I think they are the greatest heroes of Konoha. Let us observe three minutes of silence for them!

Let...let the family members of the deceased be able to vent their emotions to their heart's content, and let the deceased...be able to leave with peace of mind!

Konoha! Protected by us!"

After the words fell, Toneri took the lead and put his right hand on his chest, closed his eyes, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Seeing his actions and hearing his words, almost everyone imitated him and observed three minutes of silence for the deceased.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen was touched by Toneri's words and closed his eyes to mourn the deceased.

Only a few people were still crying, and Shiren's words seemed to open the weakest valve deep in their hearts.

"Wow--"

Along with a loud cry filled with grievances, the others also vented their feelings loudly.

When facing the deceased, one should not suppress one's emotions.

There was neither a cry nor a moment of silence on the field. Danzo was probably the only one who stared silently at Toneri with his eyes narrowed and his cane in hand.

Even Koharu and Mito Monobu, who had moved to bed, could only maintain the gesture of silence like Toneri under pressure.

Three minutes later, the crying gradually subsided, and all the greatest grievances and reluctances in their hearts had been vented.

In the square at the gate of Konoha, thousands of eyes, maybe more, were all looking at Toneri who was standing high up.

At this moment, it seemed as if Sheren was their backbone.

"Let us welcome the hero back!" Sheren raised his arms and shouted.

"Welcome, hero returns!!"

"Welcome, hero returns!!"

"Welcome, hero returns!!"

"..."

The mighty team began to move forward again, and the crowded people consciously and slowly gave way.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say a word, but the satisfied smile on his face showed his mood at this moment.

"This is the human heart...This is the transmission of the 'Will of Fire'..."

No one understands the excitement in his heart better than himself at this moment.

Looking at the appearance of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Koharu and Mito Kaden opened their mouths to say something, but found that they were always eloquent.

I'm running out of words.

Danzo turned his back to everyone and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression from the corner of his eye. Every time Hiruzen Sarutobi was happy, his heart sank a little.

Seeing that the position of Hokage within his reach is getting further and further away from him, and between him and the position of Hokage, there is not just one person, but several.

This made him so happy.

The most important thing is that even if he racks his brains, he can't think of any way to drag them down.

With a heavy heart, I followed the troops returning to the village and Hiruzen Sarutobi to the Hokage Building.

At this time, there were many people waiting here, including Namikaze Minato who Toneri saw at first sight!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was finally able to speak at this time.

After he said a few words, he rarely went on for a long time, allowing the eager ninjas to go home and reunite with their relatives. In the end, only a few people were left.

Toneri, Minato, Kakashi who was standing next to Minato with his right eye wrapped in a white bandage, and Harano Rin who was closely accompanying him, their moods were not very high, or even a little low.

Seeing them, Shiren understood everything.

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge still happened, and while the name of Yellow Flash resounded throughout the ninja world, Konoha also gave birth to two incredible "Blood Eye Heroes", Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Dai.

earth.

Just by looking at their appearance, one could tell that Obito would never come back after Uchiha Madara took action.

It’s no wonder that when Toneri deceived the Third Mizukage in the Land of Water, Madara Uchiha didn’t jump out. It turned out that he had more important things to do.

However, Toneri still had to pretend to be ignorant, "Minato, what happened to them? Where is that stupid boy from the Uchiha clan?"

Hearing this, bitterness appeared on Minato's face, and he looked at Kakashi and Lin. Their already drooped heads were even lowered.

Toneri's eyes flickered, and then he showed an expression of sudden realization. He gently patted Kakashi on the shoulder and rubbed Harano Lin's head.

Because Toneri and Minato have a pretty good relationship, the three people in Minato's class also have a good relationship with him, and they don't object to Toneri's slightly intimate behavior.

He was not talking, because under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha senior officials, they had already arrived at the conference room of the Hokage Building.

Opening the door and walking in, there were already many people sitting inside. Most of the people's attention was on Toner and Minato, but some people's attention fell on Kakashi who was in a depressed mood.

Noticing other people's gazes, Kakashi subconsciously leaned closer to Minato, "Minato-sensei, I..."

Minato patted Kakashi's shoulder encouragingly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Don't worry, Kakashi, no matter what the cost, I will help you keep Obito's eyes!"

Toneri's heart moved, and without saying a word, he followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and walked in.

The main content of this meeting is still about the third Ninja War. Although the tense situation has been alleviated because of Toner and Minato, it is only relieved after all. As long as no one is defeated or chooses to give up, Konoha will

It will always be in this state of siege.

And these things are not something that Toneri and others can decide. At most, they can only provide some suggestions or put forward some opinions. In the end, it is ultimately decided by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the three major advisors.

However, allowing Toner and Minato to participate sent a message to everyone in Konoha that the two of them would enter Konoha's management.
