[Hokage] Long Night Shimmer

After the two returned to the station, they learned that Nohara Rin had woken up. As soon as they entered the medical room, they saw Kakashi, whose injury had not healed and was covered in bandages, holding her and crying bitterly.

The ninja who came with him from another team was also stunned when he saw this scene. Facing Mao's questioning look, he just shook his head and went out.

Mao also followed, leaving space for the three master and apprentice.

"Why is Kakashi here?"

The man sighed: "It was an order from above to transfer him to Namikaze Jonin with Nohara. I don't know the reason."

Mao nodded to show that she knew, and she could more or less guess Konoha's purpose.

.......That's fine, with teachers and companions to accompany me, I should be able to recover better.

Lin woke up, and there was nothing wrong with her here. Mao bid farewell to Minato and his party that afternoon, and left with that ninja.When he left, he also borrowed a medical ninja, who happened to fill Lin's vacancy.

The battle is still going to be fought, but I don't know when Kirigakure will be willing to stop, and it will not be good for anyone to waste it like this.

I really don't understand what Mizukage is thinking.

Fighting with Kirigakure is boring. When the situation is one-sided, the other party is completely dead.

Mao, who originally planned to take the risk to open Susanoo again, suddenly received news of the surrender of the Land of Water, and the ninjas of Kirigakure evacuated from the border of the Land of Fire overnight.

I haven't figured out what's going on yet, and then another message was sent from other battlefields. Mao opened it and looked at it, and he knew why Kirigakure, who was desperately unwilling to retreat, suddenly surrendered. It turned out to be Namikaze Minato's side out of the question.

Kirigakure learned that the new three-tailed Jinchuriki had been detained by Konoha, so he thought that the tailed beast must be returned to its original owner anyway, so he sneaked into the resident, thinking that if he couldn't get it back, he would kill it, and it would not be in vain Cheap others.

How should I put it... really thick-skinned.

What happened later was that Kirigakure wanted to get rid of Jinchuriki, but Kakashi came up to block the sword and was seriously injured and dying.Nohara Lin lost control immediately, and turned into a tailed beast on the spot to kill all the Wunin. Just like that, she killed all the way along the battlefield. No one dared to catch up to stop her. Finally, she left the team and disappeared.

Kirigakure was also seriously injured because of this, and because of the loss of a tailed beast, he had to give in and withdraw from the war.

As for the Minato Squad, one death, one injury, and one disappearance, such endings all make people sigh, and those who don't know think that someone is after them.

Fortunately, Minato added a sentence at the end. Kakashi, who was seriously injured, recovered unexpectedly. It must be something Lin did before leaving.

Even in madness, the awareness of protecting his companions has always been engraved in his bones.

Mao stared at the words on the letter with a complicated expression for a long time without saying a word, then made a handprint in silence.

The next moment, a beam of flame shot up from the palm of his hand and wrapped the paper.The flames flickered under the dark sky, reflecting in a pair of bottomless black eyes, like flickering candles.

In the blink of an eye, the light is fleeting, and the burnt smoke floats in the air, drifting away with the wind aimlessly.

The third ninja war ended here, and Konoha became the final winner of this war.

As two people who made great contributions during the war, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Mao are both qualified to run for the fourth generation of Hokage, but compared to the latter, everyone agrees that the former is the real next leader.

Being looked at by everyone with various scrutiny or pity, Maou didn't take their scrutiny seriously at all, anyway, she just came for a formality.How many people who know something about Hokage know that Hokage is a democratic election on the surface, but in fact most of them are internal appointments.

Except for the first generation, only this time there were two candidates. The old man who had witnessed the first generation of Hokage's election learned that there was a Uchiha in this candidate, and his expression was more or less weird.

But no one has stipulated that Uchiha cannot participate in the election, right?

And as one of the two major families who built the village, it is wrong that no one has been running for election since Uchiha Madara, and it is no wonder that Konoha is suspicious.

Speaking of which, this opportunity was given to her by Minato, and the other party even went to propose to her superiors specifically for this, and I don't know where the third generation made a mistake and actually agreed.

Mao thought about it, thinking that this should be the credit of Momoka Senju, but anyway, this opportunity was beneficial to Uchiha, so she readily accepted it.

This is a good start. Even though he lost the election, others will remember that Uchiha had a Hokage candidate, which knocked on a door for Uchiha's future path.

"Congratulations, Minato."

After the meeting, Mao sent a congratulatory speech in due course, and the whole process was calm, as if he didn't care about the result at all, which made people who were planning to watch a good show feel bored.

Minato smiled and shook hands with her: "Thank you, and I'll trouble you to run with me."

"Where is the matter, I am the one who wants to say thank you, you have helped me a lot."

"Well, I also had a whim, thinking that this should help you. It would be great if Lin and Obito were here, I really want them to be happy for me..."

The topic suddenly became heavy, and Minato realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he hurriedly corrected it: "No...I mean...ah, forget it."

After thinking about it, he still gave up, and Mao patted him on the shoulder in deep understanding.

The little girl has been the subject of controversy since her disappearance. Some people in the upper echelons said that she left the team recklessly and was suspected of being a spy, so she should be immediately classified as a traitor.The other part of the people maintained their attitude, saying that Injuriki was already refraining from anxiety and impetuosity, and it was inevitable that he would lose control when he was stimulated, not to mention that without her, it would be impossible to end the war so quickly.

As a candidate, Minato naturally participated in the meeting, and almost quarreled with the elders.In the end, it was the third generation who made the decision to ask Zilai, who was traveling abroad, to help find out the whereabouts of Nohara Lin. After that, they will wait until they find out, and they should not jump to conclusions about a person whose life or death is unknown.

At this point, everyone took a step back, and Nohara Rin also registered on Konoha's missing persons, maybe it will become a dead population after a long time.

In this game without gunpowder, Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake are the most helpless.

"Lin finally made that choice because she didn't want to embarrass you."

That child is smart, and he probably made a decision when he overheard their conversation. It might be a good thing to leave Konoha with such a delicate identity.

After all, it takes a lot of courage to make up your mind to give up everything.

Minato nodded in a depressed mood, so why didn't he know this truth, but he became Hokage, but the person he wanted to protect was gone, which really made him unhappy.

Their voices were not loud, coupled with the discussion of the meeting, so not many people could hear the conversation between the two clearly.Afterwards, Minato was surrounded by people rushing to leave. Mao looked at the situation with a smile, gloating, shook his head with a smile, turned and left.

The Naruto Succession Ceremony will be held a few days ago. After all, it is a fateful friendship. Mao is very generous to represent all Uchihas to participate in the inauguration ceremony.

Not surprisingly, she met Kakashi here.

"Yo, Kakashi." Mao walked over to greet him first, suddenly she noticed something, stretched out her hand with a serious expression and gestured in front of her a few times, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, I've grown taller."

Kakashi, who can never keep up with this person's jumping thinking: "......"

He twitched: "I am at the age of growing tall, and it is abnormal if there is no change."

"You're right." Mao chuckled a few times, jokingly said, "Did you come to see Minato too? I thought you would stay behind closed doors during this period of time."

"I only have the teacher left now, so I will come naturally, and... I'm actually used to it."

Kakashi pursed his lips, looking lonely, but his expression had already betrayed his current mood when he said that.

"You said...why did she leave?"

The boy's voice was so soft that it was almost lost in the wind of hunting, and the only exposed eye was full of confusion.

Mao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and looked at him meaningfully.

"Do you still need to think about it? Of course it's for you."

"for me?"

"That's right. When you don't want to lose your companion again, have you ever thought about Lin thinking the same way? Anyone who sees a friend injured twice will not be indifferent. Perhaps in her opinion, leaving is the best choice .”

Hearing this sentence, Kakashi's heart was shocked, and the tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell down without disappointment.

Mao sighed, thinking that the child's tears would fall as soon as he wanted to, but he still rubbed his head comfortingly.

"Don't be sad, this is her own choice, and Lin certainly doesn't want to see you so sad for her."

"As long as people are alive, there will always be a day when we will meet again."

Kakashi choked, "Really?"

"real."

Her expression remained the same, only that smile had an inexplicable bitterness.

"At least, I am so convinced."
