On this day, the streets of Konoha Village were deserted!

The street from the gate to the Hokage Building was lined with villagers, men, women and children, all with faces of joy, welcoming the last batch of Konoha ninja troops returning.

Outside Konoha Village, a team of hundreds of ninjas quickly arrived at the gate of Konoha with an unorganized but impressive pace.

Among the leading people, Mitomon En and Namikaze Minato were at the front. Yamanaka Kaiichi and Uchiha Yashiro deliberately fell a few steps behind, and the rest of the people formed four long lines, following closely behind.

As for Orochimaru, when Mito Kaden arrived at the front line and started peace talks with Kirigakure, he returned to Konoha alone and devoted himself to scientific research.

From time to time, he would go to the root base and exchange part of the scientific research results with the root for experimental materials, which were... captured or killed enemy ninjas or civilians.

Orochimaru never confirms the true identity of the experimental materials. To him, it's all the same!

"Welcome back, everyone, thank you for your hard work."

Sarutobi Hiruzen led the team to greet them and said to Namikaze Minato and others who quickly rushed to the gate.

Pa~pa...pa~pa~

Inside the gate, there was continuous applause.

"Victory...Victory!"

The sound of triumph is inspiring.

At this moment, the Konoha villagers hid the sadness in their hearts due to the loss of relatives and friends, and enjoyed this hard-won victory together.

After a few official greetings, they followed the Third Hokage along the flower street towards the center of Konoha Village.

The top management of Konoha, except for the Sannin and Shimura Danzo, all showed up and came together to the largest competition venue not far from the Hokage Building.

In the entire Konoha Village, only members of various large and small families can enter the venue today. Ordinary villagers can only listen to the teachings of the Third Hokage conveyed by others outside the venue.

After a commotion, the Third Hokage and a group of senior officials sat down on the central platform, and the entire crowd also sat down.

After a presiding Jonin briefly explained the situation, he invited the Third Hokage to give a speech.

Suddenly, thunderous applause erupted from all around the audience.

"In the 45th year of Konoha, the Third Ninja War began; in the 47th year of Konoha, Konoha was involved; until today, the war that has been going on for four years has finally come to an end!"

Pa...pa~

After more than ten seconds, the applause stopped.

"The victory in this war belongs to every villager in Konoha and is attributed to the Konoha heroes fighting on the front lines!"

Pa...pa~

Next, the Third Hokage took everyone to review the Will of Fire and listed several battles on the front line that turned the tide of the battle.

The names of the commanders of several major battlefields and Namikaze Minato were mentioned many times, while the names of the Uchiha clan and Fugaku were only mentioned twice along with other families.

As for the fact that Uchiha Shin released the Fire Giant at the expense of "sacrifice of ninja talent" to repel the Kumogakure army and the Two-Tails, and saved nearly two hundred Konoha ninjas, it was not even mentioned.

Even if some ninjas among the Konoha villagers who were able to enter the stadium knew about this, they had been secretly informed and had agreed to completely forget it.

"Finally, since I assumed the position of Hokage, there have been two ninja wars, and there have been countless other small-scale wars. This is my dereliction of duty."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, and there was silence on and off the stage.

The mid-level and senior management of Konoha on the stage knew what was going on;

The middle and lower levels of Konoha below the stage were at a loss;

The lower floors of Konoha outside the stadium are just people eating melons.

"I have decided to step down as Hokage, and there will be a better Fourth Hokage to lead Konoha forward!" (^^)

wow~~~

There was a commotion in the audience and outside the venue, with countless people whispering to each other, discussing and speculating on possible hot picks (^^).

After all, the Third Hokage is almost 50 years old. In this Hokage plane where the average life span is more than 30 years old, he is already considered to be a long-lived person. (^^)

The villagers of Konoha were not too surprised when he stepped down as Hokage at this time.

In everyone's knowledge, in today's Konoha, the Sannin are still there, the rising star power Minato Namikaze, the heads of the major families are also in their prime years, and there are many people who are qualified to be the Hokage.

As everyone knows, these people they know in their hearts are not of the same mind.

The Sannin's thoughts were not on the position of Hokage, so Orochimaru wanted to use the power of Hokage to conduct scientific research and experiments more conveniently;

The Uchiha clan is aloof and unruly, and cannot be supported by the villagers of Konoha;

The Hyuga clan keeps a low profile and only occasionally participates in high-level meetings;

Inarakacho positioned himself as the absolute supporter of Hokage and directly gave up the position of Hokage;

The other families are either not famous enough or have their own agendas.

As for the position of Hokage, since the second generation took over from the first generation and directly designated his student Sarutobi Hiruzen as the successor of the Will of Fire before his death, the Hokage line has gradually taken shape and been accepted by the villagers of Konoha.

Anyone, no matter how powerful they are, no matter how much they have contributed, has no hope of becoming a Hokage as long as they do not have a master-student or blood relationship with previous Hokages.

After a while, under the command of the presiding Jonin, the triumphal rally ended, and everyone left the venue one after another under the command of the Anbu.

(^^) The previous events of the Fourth Hokage were quickly forgotten and replaced by the sadness brought about by tomorrow's hero's funeral.

......

The next morning, I don't know whether it was God's will or man-made, the clouds were thick and the drizzle was falling.

Hundreds of middle-level villagers, led by Konoha senior officials, came to the cemetery on the edge to mourn the Konoha ninjas who died in the three wars of the ninja world.

Other villagers lit incense sticks outside their houses, burned paper money, and chanted "Have a safe journey and bless your family."

Shen also walked into the cemetery with the senior members of the Uchiha clan. Fugaku was in front, holding Itachi's little hand. The three elders followed closely behind. Shen and Wu were at the end, with Tie Huo standing beside them.

Tie Huo did not ridicule Xin because of his "impeded talent", especially recently, the Uchiha people learned from Mai that Xin's fire escape talent was recovering.

In addition, Xin is now a student of Namikaze Minato, so their status is very different.

Under the arrangements of the funeral director, Konoha senior officials, representatives of various large and small families, villagers, etc. lined up in several queues and stepped forward one after another to lay flowers and bow.

As the number of tribesmen in front gradually decreased, Xin came to the stone monument in the center of the cemetery and felt several powerful chakra auras not far away.

The power of perception, open!

[All three ninjas are here, it’s rare. 】

[As expected of a Sannin, the strength and capacity of this chakra are higher than those of Fugaku currently.Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed old. Putting aside his combat experience, he may not be a match for the Sannin anymore. 】

Suddenly, a coldness passed through his body, making him shudder and he quickly withdrew his power of perception.

With Xin's current strength as a new Jonin (excluding the power of the Sharingan's Eye), it is still impossible to completely avoid the opponent's induction when using the power of perception on a target with elite Jonin strength or above.
