Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Many days have passed since the training with Naruto and Sasuke. Of course, the foreman Yamato couldn't hide it from them, but he didn't come to disturb them.

Hokage room.

After dismissing Shizune on the pretext of sorting out materials, Tsunade held her chin and looked at him with interest.

"Tsunade-sama... no, Fifth Hokage-sama." Kakashi bowed slightly.

At first, he could still call her "Sama Tsunade", but it had been a long time since she succeeded as Hokage, and it would be unacceptable to call her the wrong name again.

"How are you doing lately? It seems like you've been doing well these days. How are you feeling?"

When asked about their recent situation, Kakashi didn't want to be negligent and said thoughtfully: "Naruto and Sasuke, their current level is not to be underestimated. They have also made rapid progress in recent days. They should have no problem taking the Chunin Exam.

"If possible, I need Asuma to give Naruto and Sasuke some advice..."

"I know that you trained those two kids, but that's not what I'm asking you about now."

Tsunade rubbed her chin and said meaningfully, "How is she? How is she these days? She hasn't been out for a long time. Is she okay?"

"My body is...of course I'm fine." Kakashi said with a guilty conscience.

"She has always taken care of you like a sister."

(No, you have no idea how annoying it can be!)

He secretly complained in his heart, but since they were still in a 'master-disciple' relationship, he couldn't show it.

Seeing him smiling bitterly and keeping silent, Tsunade said with a smile: "With such a big change, you better be careful not to be eaten up without leaving anything..."

"Ah! I'll pay attention."

Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Kakashi managed to cope with it, and suddenly remembered something.

These days, I always have some uneasy premonition, but I can't figure it out...

"It's been a while since I last saw you, Senior Jiraiya. Is there any news about the Fifth Hokage recently?"

I just remembered it the last time I mentioned "Intimate Paradise", and I felt something was wrong.

If you think about it carefully, Jiraiya in his "memories" returned to Konoha as soon as the Third Hokage died...

Lady Tsunade's return to Konoha happened later.

Even if there have been some changes, it would have been reasonable to wait until Jiraiya returned after such a long time.

"Jiraiya? He's already returned to the village."

"Already come back? Then he is now..."

Kakashi's heart skipped a beat when he noticed that the other person's expression was not right, and his uneasy premonition suddenly became stronger.

Tsunade took a deep breath, lowered her eyes and said, "Since you asked, I can't keep it a secret any longer. Kakashi, you should know about Akatsuki, right?"

......

Yuyin.

The heavy rain here was still falling, making the surrounding roads muddy, and in the middle, a white-haired figure was walking slowly.

It's not easy to come all the way from Konoha...

Jiraiya sighed to himself.

This time, the purpose is to obtain information about Akatsuki.

The former has been stirring up unrest for three years, and at the same time has taken the opportunity to capture the Jinchūriki of various countries. The purpose behind this is unknown, but if this continues, sooner or later he will attack Naruto and Konoha...

Rather than passively being ambushed, it is better to take the initiative to attack, catch the enemy by surprise and at the same time obtain intelligence in advance!

A shadow floated towards the front.

Jiraiya frowned.

Have we been discovered before we even sneaked into Yuyin?

"Teacher Jiraiya, long time no see."

As the sound was heard, pieces of paper in the air gathered together and gradually pieced together into a human figure, floating quietly.

"You are...Konan?"

The short light purple hair and the ability to manipulate paper undoubtedly fit the impression of a 'disciple', not to mention the title of 'teacher' mentioned by the other party.

We met again after a long separation, but I wasn't happy at all.

Jiraiya said in a deep voice: "Where is Yahiko? Where is Nagato? Have you been behind the Akatsuki all this time?"

"Yes."

Hearing the affirmative answer, my heart sank.

Almost at the same time, the sound of footsteps like "pattering" on the water surface suddenly came.

A figure dressed in red clouds and black robes approached from the rain waterfall.
