Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Konoha.

After all the injured on the scene were stabilized, Shizune quickly jumped onto the photo studio along with the ninjas who had finished the battle.

There are many familiar faces around, but now is obviously not the time to reminisce.

As a medical ninja and disciple of the 'Slug Princess', she must not be on the front line according to Tsunade-sama's medical ninja code.

So since arriving in Konoha, he has been responsible for treating the wounded.

"Tsunade-sama..." Shizune said hesitantly.

The old man lying on the ground moved his lips weakly, but from her distance she couldn't hear what he was saying.

It was not until I saw the old man close his eyes and saw bean-sized drops of water wet his clothes and even the ground, leaving wet marks, that I realized it was raining.

The rain fell drop by drop.

The symptoms of hemophobia will probably never appear again...Shizune suddenly remembered.

The nightmare that had been trapping Lady Tsunade for so long had disappeared.

Just as my mind was wandering, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

Shizune looked stunned.

"Kakashi?"

Tsunade was not surprised at all when she sensed the familiar chakra, as she had already learned the news from the Hive Snail some time ago.

The location where the reverse summoning technique was teleported was right next to Tsunade.

"The Third Master..."

Many familiar looks of surprise were cast upon him, but Kakashi was in no mood to care.

Even though I had a premonition, the scene before me was still hard to accept.

——The old man has completely passed away.

Compared to his 'memory', Orochimaru attacked Konoha five or six years earlier, not to mention the speed of time flow in the Wet Bone Forest. According to the perceived time, it could even be said to be eight years earlier.

The accident caused by 'three months of coma' was unexpected, not to mention that I only got the news after Lady Tsunade rushed to Konoha from Tansho Street.

It's too late...

And working together with Scorpion of the Red Sand has changed a lot from what I remembered.

But the result has not changed at all.

I clearly knew this day would come, but it came so suddenly that I was still powerless to stop it...

Kakashi never thought that when he returned to Konoha again and saw familiar faces, the situation would be like this.

As a result, when he saw Kai, Asuma, Hong and others who were concerned about his whereabouts, he couldn't help but be absent-minded when greeting them.

After not seeing each other for a long time, I couldn't be happy.

Also seen were Naruto and Sasuke, who were entrusted by the Third Hokage himself, and a child named Konohamaru who couldn't hide his tears...

The battlefield was quickly cleared, and Konoha's post-war reconstruction plan proceeded in an orderly manner.

After a few days of rest, the martyrdom ceremonies of the Third Hokage and the victims were carried out as scheduled.

......

Konoha Memorial Monument.

The rain has been going on for more than a day.

Kakashi stared at the azure inscriptions with names engraved on them.

"Kakashi-senpai."

"Xi Yan?"

The sound of footsteps gradually came from behind, and Kakashi recognized the other person's voice.

Mao Yuegao, this is a junior in the Anbu. Of course, she can also recognize her identity outside of the Anbu.

"The funeral has already begun."

A figure dressed in black walked up to the monument and said, "If you have to think of reasons to be late every time, you might as well be early."

"I came early..."

Xi Yan held a bouquet of white flowers and suddenly whispered, "There's news from the Anbu that Orochimaru and Sasori are escaping from the northwest."

Northwest direction...

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Orochimaru has bases in every ninja village, so it seems that the nearest one might be near Sunagakure.

"Even though you're an ANBU, you haven't been in touch for a long time, Kakashi-senpai."

Xiyan shook her head slowly.

"After the trivialities of the village are dealt with, the missions of tracking down the enemies and the rebellious ninjas will be handled by the Anbu for the time being, so I'd better tell you in advance to avoid contacting you later... Hmm?"

There was no movement for a long time, and Xiyan felt something was wrong. She turned around and found that there was no one behind her.
