Glory Konoha

Chapter 221 Heroes Return
Time passed quickly in Kyosuke's drowsiness, and when he woke up again, the familiar Konoha gate was already in sight.

"Ha~ Is it finally here?" With a long breath, Kyosuke rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly.

As a result, before Saori Hyuga beside him answered, he felt that the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

Kyosuke sensed the aura of the visitor, and after a little stunned, he quickly said, "Master Hokage, why are you here?"

The smiling Sarutobi Hiruzawa was about to say something, but when he saw Kyosuke's lifeless eyes, he couldn't finish what was on his lips.

Turning to bed, Xiaochun saw Hiruzaru Sarutobi who had boarded the carriage standing there in a daze, she hurriedly said without knowing the situation: "Kyosuke, you come back as a great hero, of course we have to come in person."

Looking at Kyosuke who stepped out of the carriage, she couldn't continue speaking.

Several people looked at each other, and their expressions were a little complicated.

Although they were happy to see Kyosuke's blindness, when this scene actually happened before their eyes, everyone still couldn't bear it.

Has this famous ninja star, Konoha's rising star, really lost his light just like that?

Ignoring the hypocrisy of several people, Danzo, who had returned from Yunin Village, took a step forward and asked impatiently, "What happened before? Who are you fighting?"

Before Kyosuke could reply, Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly interjected: "Okay, Danzo, don't be in a hurry if you want to ask, go back and talk about it first."

"Well, yes, the old man is impatient." Danzo nodded, agreeing to Sarutobi Hiruzen's suggestion.

In this way, a group of people walked slowly towards the village.

At this time, Konoha Village is much more depressed than it was before Kyosuke left. Apart from the pain caused by the war, besides the death, the economic loss cannot be ignored.

However, Kyousuke could clearly perceive that besides sadness, the emotions of these villagers also revealed a kind of joy.

Thinking about it, this protracted war is about to end. It is not surprising that Konoha, the victor, will feel happy.

Along the way, villagers and ninjas greeted Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others from time to time, and they were also full of curiosity about the team received by the Konoha executives.

After a while, someone soon succeeded in recognizing Kyosuke. Although it has been for many years, the kid who was wearing the uniform of the police force and patrolling the streets is still very impressive.

Now that he has been recognized, the rumors heard over the years have gradually emerged in the minds of many villagers.

What broke into the enemy's camp alone, beheaded Sand Ninja Bini, led the army to repel the Kirin, and teamed up with Namikaze Minato to repel Tsuchikage, these things were instantly recalled by everyone.

Gradually, some cheers rang out from the villagers, and as more people came, the cheers became louder and louder until they finally resounded through the entire street.

"Good boy from the Uchiha family."

"From the first day you became famous, I knew that you would become a hero one day, haha, I guessed correctly."

"My husband was saved by you, thank you, really thank you."

Hearing the cheers of the crowd, Kyosuke showed a smile from the heart.

Seeing this scene, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and the others were also very happy.

During the war, the village needs some "heroes" to appear, because this will greatly strengthen the villagers' confidence in victory.

Kyosuke, who became famous at a young age, stood out on the battlefield through his own efforts and defeated waves of powerful enemies. Such an image naturally fits the standard of a hero.

Of course, with Kyosuke's military exploits and reputation among the ninja community, it would be difficult for them to cover up even if they wanted to. Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others simply made a lot of hype to fuel the flames.

As for whether the high reputation would bring any unpredictable side effects, given the situation at the time, they didn't have the time to think about it.

Today, Kyosuke is blind in both eyes. Even if his vision can be restored by transplanting other eyes, the Kaleidoscope Sharingan will leave him forever. At least Sarutobi Hiruzen and others think so.

That being the case, the possible hidden dangers have been completely eliminated, and Kyosuke has always performed very well, so the high-level staff at this time are wary of him to a very low level, even Danzo is the same.

Today's act of personally coming to greet him is like this. May I ask whether Sarutobi Hiruzen and others could not have expected the scene in front of them? It can be said that this is what they want.

Through the villagers' recognition of Kyousuke, his sense of belonging to the village will be further strengthened, which will also make it easier for everyone to hold this sharp blade firmly in their hands in the future instead of turning back on themselves.

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others simply stopped, allowing Kyosuke to fully bathe in the warm "embrace" of the people.

After a long time, when Kyosuke's cheeks were cramp from smiling, Hiruzaru Sarutobi finally let him go, and the group set off again towards the Hokage Building.

"Looking" at the villagers separated by Anbu personnel, listening to their unabated cheers, Kyosuke seemed to have seen the fanaticism of the star-chasers in his previous life.

With this slightly weird feeling, Kyosuke followed the crowd to the destination very quickly.

Arriving at Hokage's office unimpeded, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Kyosuke standing in front of him, and said with a brisk tone, "Our little hero, stop standing, sit down quickly."

With a wry smile just right on his face, Kyosuke slowly sat down on the chair amidst the loud laughter of the crowd.

After the laughter, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face suddenly became serious, and he said to Kyosuke and Saori who was standing behind him in a solemn tone: "On behalf of the village, I thank you for your hard work over the years. Only then can the village continue to prosper."

Hearing his words, Kyousuke stood up quickly, and said in a "panic" tone: "No, no, this is what we should do."

Looking at the "harmonious" scene in front of her, Hyuga Saori tried her best to control the muscles on her face, preventing herself from showing inappropriate expressions such as contempt and disgust.

"Why didn't I realize before that he can say such hypocritical words?" Hyuga Saori retorted inwardly as he glanced back and forth between the two people's smiles that seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

But it’s all about complaining, the current atmosphere certainly makes her uncomfortable, but it’s also much better than being full of suspicion. For this reason, Saori Hyuga forced a smile on her face, so that she doesn’t seem so out of group.
