The man standing at the top of the ninja world

Facts have proved that what Fujita Takuto said was a bit conservative.

It didn't take three days at all. The next morning, the four of Nagato discovered on their way to school that the entire Konoha Village had begun to be decorated with lights and decorations. The villagers and some ninjas were busy making preparations for the celebration, preparing to welcome the victory. The ninjas are about to return in triumph.

The Third Hokage informed the entire Konoha that Shimura Danzo, the Hokage advisor who commanded the ninjas of Konoha in the Land of Rain, had sent an advance ninja back to report that he would lead the army to Konoha at noon tomorrow.

Walking on the road, Nagato could clearly see that the busy Konoha villagers and ninjas basically had smiles on their faces.

Several years have passed since Konoha's participation in the Second Ninja War. During this period, Konoha once fell into a very dangerous situation.

After all, the Country of Fire is at war with three countries at the same time, and two of them are big countries on the same level as the Country of Fire. The remaining Country of Rain is also a powerful country second only to the five major countries.

Even though Konoha has been the strongest ninja village since its establishment until now, the first Hokage who founded Konoha has passed away after all, and even the second Hokage also died in the last ninja war.

Although Konoha is strong, it is not invincible. All adult Konoha villagers know this very well. With three countries at war at the same time, they will all have some pressure in their hearts and worry about Konoha's fate. Can you win?

Now that the Kingdom of Rain has been defeated, both the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth are being suppressed by Konoha on the battlefield. If nothing unexpected happens, Konoha's victory in this war that affects the whole world is almost certain. , so this celebration banquet is not only to welcome the ninjas who have returned from the Land of Rain, but also to use a grand celebration to relieve the long-term tense mood of the entire Konoha.

After school in the afternoon, the Ninja School gave the students a day off so that they could participate in the celebration banquet without coming to school tomorrow.

The next day, since before dawn in the morning, Konoha villagers have been waiting at the gate one after another.

This also made Shenyue Chufeng and Gang Zitong, who were responsible for guarding the gate, feel dumbfounded, because these villagers came earlier than the two of them, and they were already guarding here before they even opened the gate.

As time went by, more and more villagers gathered at the gate. By noon, the place was already like a sea of ​​people.

However, the road leading directly from the gate to the interior of Konoha was empty. Although there was no one directing it, the villagers stood on both sides of the road in tacit agreement. This was the road reserved for the ninjas who returned in triumph.

Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, and Uzumaki Kushina stood on the roof of a house not far from the gate, looking at the gate from a distance.

Needless to say, Uzumaki Kushina, although the three Nagatos have not yet become official genin, after refining chakra, their physical fitness has been greatly enhanced, and it is very simple to get on the roof.

They are not the only ones standing on the roof here, there are also some people standing on several surrounding houses, all of them are ninjas who are unwilling to go down and squeeze.

Uzumaki Kushina looked at the sea of ​​people in front of her and said to Konan in a surprised tone, "Konan, I didn't expect so many people to be guarding here."

Xiaonan nodded, "Yeah, I didn't expect it either."

Speaking of which, after getting along for about half a month, the relationship between Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina has never improved. Although he is the only remaining member of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Kushina's attitude towards him has always been very cold.

The same goes for Yahiko. He and Uzumaki Kushina didn't even talk much, and even when they did talk, they were quarreling.

However, the relationship between Konan and Uzumaki Kushina has become much better, probably because they are both girls.

Although Nagato and Yahiko are the most important companions in Xiaonan's heart, they are boys after all, and Xiaonan also has some little thoughts about girls that she cannot tell boys.

As for Uzumaki Kushina, a child herself, she actually longs to have friends, but the students in Konoha reject her because she is not from Konoha. Konan and she are both children from other villages, so they will not do it because of this. He rejected her, so she and Xiaonan slowly became close and often stayed together in their free time.

And this also caused a very interesting phenomenon.

Uzumaki Mito had made a rule for the four of them before, that is, the four of them must go together every time they go to school, and similarly, they must come back together after school.

So every time on the way to and from school, although they walked together, they were often far apart from each other. Nagato and Yahiko walked on one side, Uzumaki Kushina walked on the other side alone, and Konan occasionally followed They walked together, occasionally accompanying Kushina Uzumaki.

Nagato looked at Yahiko standing next to him and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The latter had been feeling a little depressed since school the day before yesterday, and it has continued to this day, and now he is still looking at the door in silence.

After twelve o'clock, after waiting for a few more minutes, among the crowd, a sharp-eyed Konoha villager suddenly shouted: "Look, they are back."

Many villagers looked towards the end of the route with wide eyes. A long queue gradually appeared, slowly walking towards the gate. Standing at the front of the queue was none other than Hokage Advisor Shimura Danzo.

The ninja students standing on the roof saw this scene one step ahead.

A few minutes later, the entire team arrived in front of the gate of Konoha. Danzo raised his head and looked at the leaf symbol engraved on the door beam. There was no wave on his face, but there was an undetectable trace of relaxation in his eyes. look.

There are thousands of Konoha ninjas fighting in the Land of Rain. Most of them are chuunin. Other than that, they are basically all genin. As for the total number of jounin, they do not exceed thirty in total. Compared with the huge The total number is almost negligible.

The marching speed of chuunin and genin is limited. When Team [-] carried out its first mission, it took more than a week to go to the country of waves. Danzo had to take into account the speed of these chunin and genin, and the overall number of thousands of people The affairs involved in the operation were much more troublesome than just a few people, so the return journey took much longer than when he went there.

Now that he finally returned to Konoha, even Danzo felt relieved in his heart.

It is essential to be on guard against others. Even if you have signed an alliance with the Land of Rain, you must not take it lightly. His teacher, the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama who died because of the alliance with the Cloud Ninja Village, is the best lesson to learn from this. .
