With the evacuation of the Sand Village, Kikyo Castle also received an announcement that they could return to Konoha Village.

"The message from the village has been delivered. Next we can pack up and prepare to return to Konoha Village, but we still have to leave one person behind. The compensation from the Sand Village has not arrived yet."

In the conference room, Chen An sat at the first seat, and said to Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo with joy on his face.

"Then I'll stay."

Hatake Sakumo and the others looked at each other and said with a smile.

After all, among the people present, he is the only one who is most suitable to stay.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Sakumo-senpai. We will send someone to replace you as soon as we return."

Chen An said with a smile while looking at Hatake Sakumo.

"Really? Then hurry up."

When Hatake Sakumo heard what Chen An said, he said to Chen An helplessly.

"Don't worry, Senior Sakumo. After we go back, if Ri'an doesn't make any arrangements, the three of us will take turns to replace you. We will let you go back to see your family and won't let you stay in Kikyo Castle for a long time."

Jiraiya smiled and moved closer to Hatake Sakumo and said to him.

"Really? That's really troublesome for you."

Hatake Sakumo stood up, patted Jiraiya's shoulder with a smile, and said to Jiraiya.

Once the order to return to the village was conveyed, all the Konoha Village ninjas in Kikyo City cheered and quickly returned to their homes to pack up all their belongings, preparing to return to Konoha Village tomorrow morning.

Chen An returned to his residence and packed his luggage only after arranging the entire defense of Platycodon City.

The next morning, as soon as the sun came out, the team returning to Konoha Village was ready to set off.

"Senior Sakumo, I'll leave Kikyo Castle to you."

Chen An said with a smile to Hatake Sakumo who was standing under Kikyo Castle.

"Don't worry, I'll leave the entire Kikyo City to me. There will be absolutely no problems."

Hatake Sakumo made a reassuring gesture to Cheng An and said to Chen An with a smile.

Hearing what Hatake Sakumo said, Chen An nodded with relief. Then he turned around and looked at the entire team, and then waved his hand and led the Konoha Village team back to Konoha Village.

Fortunately, the people of Konoha Village had already received the information that Chen An and his team had returned, and were waiting at the gate of Konoha Village early.

Although the war between Konoha Village and Sand Village did not last long, just like the First Ninja World War, Tobirama Senju defeated Sand Village in one battle and withdrew from the battlefield.

Therefore, the people of the entire Konoha Village were very excited. This was a strong performance of the Konoha Village. The Sand Village, one of the five major ninja villages, was actually defeated by a group of young people from their side at one time, which made the residents of Konoha Village very proud.

"Look, look! Is that it? Good morning, sir. They are back."

The members of the Hyuga clan opened their eyes early, looking at Chen An and his group returning, and shouted excitedly.

"Where? Where?"

When the other ninja clans heard the Hyuga clan members say that the team had returned, they all shouted at the Hyuga clan members to point out the direction Chen An and his team were returning.

They all jumped on the trees, looking far away at the dust caused by the large number of ninjas running, and shouted excitedly.

"They are back. They are back."

"Welcome back the heroes of Konoha Village!"

"Welcome back to the heroes of Konoha Village."

When Chen An and his team led the ninjas of Konoha Village back to Konoha Village, all the villagers of Konoha Village cheered loudly to Chen An and his team.

"Good day, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, you did a great job, you are the heroes of Konoha Village."

At the gate of Konoha Village, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen announced loudly to the people of the entire Konoha Village.

"Thank you for the compliment, Hokage-sama. This is what we should do as ninjas of Konoha Village."

Chen An responded to the words of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen very humbly, but his words aroused more residents of Konoha Village to cheer for them.

"Yeah, Hero of Konoha, Hero of Konoha."

A large number of Konoha residents became even more excited after hearing Chen An's humble words. They stood on both sides of the gate and cheered for the Konoha ninjas who returned from the battlefield of the Wind Country.

"Okay, let's go back to the village. Next up is the celebration the village has prepared for you. You must perform well. Let everyone see that we are the heroes of Konoha Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled at Chen An's humble attitude. He took a step back and signaled Chen An to lead these ninjas returning from the Wind Country into Konoha Village.

Chen An and the Sandaime Hokage nodded and began to walk towards Konoha Village with big strides.

As the team walked into Konoha Village, the families of the ninjas who were heading to the Wind Kingdom battlefield stood on both sides of the road and cheered loudly for their children.

You should know that many of the ninjas who went to the Wind Country battlefield this time were born after the establishment of Konoha.

But it was this group of people who successfully blocked the Sand Village's conspiracy on the battlefield, saving Konoha Village from the troubles of war.

Their families cheered for their children on both sides of the road. After hearing the shouts of their relatives, these people quickly left the team and walked towards their relatives.

Soon, the originally long line dispersed one by one amid the shouts of these family members.

Soon the Sandaime Hokage discovered that after the team dispersed, the people on the street also dispersed. It seemed that no family members were standing on the side of the road crying because they had not waited for their loved ones.

"Good day, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya. Didn't you suffer any casualties this time?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the four people in confusion and asked them.

"Hokage-sama, only a few of us were injured on the battlefield this time, but no one lost their lives."

Chen An explained to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we are much stronger than you were back then. We only have some injured, but no one has lost their life in this war."

Jiraiya said to his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen very excitedly.

"No casualties, is that true?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade and Orochimaru beside him in disbelief, wanting to get a definite answer from them.

"Shouldn't you be happy that there were no casualties? What do you mean by asking?"

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, Senju Tsunade said to Sarutobi Hiruzen with dissatisfaction.

"Sensei, we did not cause any casualties. Even those who did not return were with Hatake Sakumo-senpai in Kikyo Castle."

Orochimaru replied helplessly when he heard the teacher's question.

"No one was injured or killed, that's great, that's great."

Sarutobi Hiruzen excitedly clapped and cheered to everyone on the spot.

"Then you didn't even bother to send me a message. I had already prepared the war pension to be transferred down."

After being excited for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the four people and complained helplessly.

If I had known that there were no casualties, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to prepare the pension.

"Didn't you get the message?"

Chen An was surprised for a moment, and quickly stared at Jiraiya standing next to him together with Tsunade Senju and Orochimaru.

"Jiraiya, how did you transmit the information?"

Tsunade Senju looked at Jiraiya with gritted teeth and said angrily.

"Uh, sorry about that. I only remembered to send back the peace agreement, but forgot to send the war damage notice."

Jiraiya touched his head sheepishly and said awkwardly.

"Go to hell, Jiraiya."

Tsunade Senju clenched her fists in anger and knocked Jiraiya away fiercely.
