"Hokage-sama! The ninjas of the southeastern defense line have returned! Please give us your instructions!"

"Sir Sandaime! The ninjas of the northeastern defense line have returned! Please give us your instructions!"

"Sama Sandai! The ninjas from the northwest defense line have returned! Please give us your instructions!"

"Sir Sandaime! The ninjas of the southwest defense line have returned! Please give us your instructions!"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a slight smile on his face as he watched the ninjas coming over from outside one by one and half-kneeling on the ground.

"I know everything. Let the ninjas go home normally! The war is over, but we still can't be careless in our daily missions!"

He paused for a moment and said to Shikaku beside him, "Shikaku, the village's S-level alert has almost been cancelled, right?"

"No, to prevent the remnants from causing harm to Konoha, we need to observe for a while!" Shikaku looked serious. He was responsible for the safety of Konoha. This was his duty as a ninja. It was better to be cautious about such things.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. He just happened to have the same idea, so he asked symbolically.

"All of you, go down! The commissioned mission will be available in three days. At that time, people from other countries will enter Konoha. Remember to pay attention to your surroundings to avoid spies entering!"

"Yes!"

The group of captains below had serious expressions on their faces and seemed to be relieved.

The war is over!

In the second month of the 47th year of Konoha, Orochimaru led his army to attack the Hidden Mist Village. The Mist Ninjas suffered heavy losses. Under the cold-blooded leadership of Orochimaru, Konoha also paid a heavy price to repel them!

The Mist Ninjas who had invaded the shore immediately returned to the Land of Water and surrounded Orochimaru's troops. In a battle situation where there was almost no chance of survival, the Konoha Ninjas pulled their horses back from the brink, grabbed a few large ships, and sailed out to the sea like crazy!

The Mist Ninja behind is chasing after them to the death and won't let go!

Before, there were nearly two thousand people, which was almost the entire camp’s number of people. But now there are less than four hundred. Countless Konoha ninjas were killed and wounded, and corpses were scattered all over the ground, wandering in this sea of ​​blood mist!

Therefore, many Konoha ninjas were dissatisfied with Orochimaru, but they dared not speak out!

After that, Orochimaru's troops returned to the village. When the Third Generation learned about the battle, his face turned pale. He quickly organized a hero memorial service for all the ninjas in the village, giving titles to the dead to appease the villagers!

Senju Mo walked quickly on the road to the Hokage building. The hero's memorial service ended yesterday. Early this morning, ninja hawks were circling in the sky. After a while, the roof was filled with people and passed by in a flash.

He stood on the roof, his clothes fluttering, and a man who fell from the sky stood opposite him, wearing a mask and called him.

"Your Excellency."

"It's you again, the third generation?" Qianshouwang leaned casually against the stone wall. People were coming and going under the stone wall, shoulder to shoulder.

The ANBU nodded and said nothing more.

"Well, even after the war is over, we won't let anyone rest."

After he said this, he raised his thigh and stepped on the stone wall. His body moved suddenly and he disappeared in the crowd.

In the corridor, looking at the open door of the Hokage, Senju Wang poked his head out and knocked twice, then as his gaze shifted to the Third Hokage, he spoke in a slightly tired tone.

"Sandaime-sama? What do you want? And you're using the precious time of the Anbu on me. They're very busy."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was staring at the documents in his hand intently when he heard a knock on the door, followed by that familiar complaint. Before he even raised his head, a steady and hoarse laugh reached Senju Wang's ears.

He looked at him and said, "Wang, you will have to deal with the aftermath of the war yourself. Your identity is also suitable. As a member of the Senju clan, you can represent the face of Konoha."

"No, you want me to sign a peace treaty?" Qianshouwang looked horrified.

You must be mistaken! Are you asking him to die?

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, he said firmly, "I give up this mission!" This was the first time he refused a mission.

“Cough…cough!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice became louder and louder, smoke came out of his nose in anger, he raised his hand and slowly waved it down, revealing an unhappy look, "No, can you please listen to me finish my words?!"

Qianshouwang shut up angrily, silently approached the corner and glanced at him.

The Hokage rolled his eyes vaguely at the guy in the corner, then regained his serious expression, "In three days, Konoha will be open to the outside world. People from all over the world will enter Konoha. They are all potential clients of Konoha. I will appoint you as the welcoming staff. Of course, you will not be the only ninja."

"You are different from other ninjas. You are in charge of those noble daimyos. By the way, you should also observe the surroundings of the village to see if there are any spies invading. With your ability, it should be easy to catch those who have bad intentions towards Konoha!" After saying this, his tone was somewhat meaningful.

The whole room fell silent.

Qianshouwang retracted his smile and lowered his head so that his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Did you hear any rumors, Third-generation Lord? Rumors can harm people, so it's better not to believe them."

"I don't think this is a rumor. You are very capable, so there's actually no need to hide it."

"Well... Elder Danzo told you. Your silence will be taken as your acknowledgement."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had originally planned to remain silent, but now he had nothing to say.

"Can you control it? This thing is very invasive. Once it gets out of control, the whole of Konoha will fall into chaos." He seemed to be hinting at something and didn't intend to play tricks.

"If you trust me, you can rest assured." Qianshouwang raised his head, full of confidence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen kept looking at him without saying anything, and a kind smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you can, remember what you said today! What will you do if you lose control one day?"

"I will commit seppuku, or...let you do whatever you want?"

Qianshou looked at him in a daze. Was this man who had been so powerful for so many years finally getting old? He was actually soft-hearted towards a potential threat like him. Or maybe it was because of the title of the Qianshou clan. Who knows?

"Okay! I feel relieved that you have this awareness." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and spoke as if he believed in his words.

Then he laughed again, "After all, I am old, and Konoha will always be the world of you young people. Maybe I should have some hope for you, don't you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a wide smile on his face, with wrinkles on his sides, making him look extremely kind.

"The Third Master is right."

Qianshouwang nodded, but he did not feel grateful to the Third Generation for this. Now that the military order had been issued, if someone used it to make a fuss, he would be a good scapegoat.

He watched all this coldly, as if looking into a dark corner inadvertently, his eyes silent.

That old guy Danzo is whispering in the Third Hokage's ear again!

He really deserves to die!

"Go ahead, but be careful not to lose face for Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen held the documents in his hand, lowered his head and continued to do his own work.

"Okay. But Third Master, if we encounter special circumstances, can we make special arrangements, right?" Qianshou Wang added suddenly.

For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He rubbed his temples and nodded.

"Okay, but don't overdo it."

"I feel very relieved when you say this." He smiled as usual, looking sunny and gentle.
