The return journey was smooth and there were no accidents. Because there were wounded in the team, it took almost half a month to reach the destination.
It was early autumn when they set out, and late autumn when they returned. In the past month, some things have not changed, such as Konoha, which is still the same as when Ishigamihara left, with towering gates and noisy crowds.
But some things have changed, such as Ishigamihara’s identity. When he left, he was just an ordinary ninja, but when he returned, he had brought with him a good reputation. Even though he was still a teenager, no one would ignore his existence.
The crowd surged out of the gate. Countless Konoha residents gathered here to celebrate the return of the heroes. There was laughter, but also sadness.
When the ashes of the dead were brought back, the grief of relatives and friends was beyond words, and the sound of wailing rang out, which soon stained the joyful atmosphere with a touch of sadness.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had already walked out of the crowd, looked at the returnees with a smile on his face, and began his performance.
Perhaps it was a true expression of his feelings, or perhaps it was intentional, Sarutobi Hiruzen said a lot
“Welcome back, heroes of Konoha. It is your dedication that allows everyone to enjoy peace and tranquility. You are the leaves that make up the big tree of the village, and you use your bodies to block the wind and rain for everyone.……”
Everyone listened with a touching look, and many wounded soldiers were so excited that they wished they could kill for Konoha on the battlefield again.
Ishigamihara did not have much resentment towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, because he knew very well that Sarutobi Hiruzen’s arrangement for him was just what he did to be in line with his status as a superior. If he were Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would probably make the same choice without the system and many bloodlines.
The power that cannot be controlled will make the superiors wary no matter which world it is placed in, and the same is true for the ninja world.
The only difference is that Ishigamihara did not think of standing on the opposite side of Sarutobi Hiruzen. On the contrary, he admired this Hokage, who was not lacking in skills and could keep a kind side to the outside world. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
And the most important thing is that Sarutobi Hiruzen was ordered to take over the responsibility of Hokage in the battlefield, and stabilized Konoha Village in the midst of the storm and continued to prosper.
You can say he is kind or hypocritical, it is rare for a normal ninja who is not from the bloodline ninja clan and is not a descendant of the Ōtsutsuki to be able to achieve this.
However, this does not mean that Ishigamihara will allow himself to be manipulated.
With a smile, listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen’s theory of the will of fire, Ishigamihara also made comments in his heart.
In Ishigamihara’s view, the theory of the will of fire is just that, it is nothing more than a means to unite the power of Konoha, but in the ninja world, this theory is considered advanced, at least it can be recognized by everyone in Konoha, and it is very useful.
Ishigamihara has never thought about changing this theory. On the contrary, being in Konoha, supporting this theory is also a kind of correctness, which can provide Ishigamihara with a lot of convenience.
“”Haru!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen came to Ishigamihara, patted him on the shoulder, and his face was full of encouragement and praise.
“You did a great job, showing your potential and talent, you are a hero of Konoha.”
Ishigamihara bowed slightly and smiled,”You are too kind, Hokage-sama, I just did what I should do, it’s nothing.”
As he spoke, Ishigamihara caught a glimpse of the two consultants at the back with expressionless faces, while Danzo Shimura was not present. Tsunade on the side was a little impatient, and said,”Don’t stand here, old man.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised to hear this, but sighed and said to Tsunade,”I’m glad you’re back.”
“Tsk.”
Tsunade turned her head away and ignored him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t feel embarrassed either, as if he had liked Tsunade’s attitude for a long time. Ishigami Kenpo knew why Tsunade was like this, and it was related to Nawase, because of what happened to Nawase when he went to the battlefield. Tsunade had naturally thought about it. If there was no evidence, I’m afraid Tsunade would dare to turn against him right now.
So in this case, even if the incident had nothing to do with Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, it was his fault for such a thing to happen, and Tsunade’s attitude was obvious. Nawase was embarrassed, but he didn’t dare to say anything. He knew his sister’s temper too well.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Anyway, welcome home.”
With the welcome from everyone, the returning team entered the village. Tsunade, as the leader, took Ishigamihara and Nawaki to the Hokage building. As for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, who was brought back as a prisoner, he had been accepted by the Anbu long ago. Where he was taken was not something Ishigamihara needed to worry about.
In the Hokage’s office, Ishigamihara saw Shimura Danzo sitting on a sofa on one side, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap, but Ishigamihara could sense the other’s gaze under his eyelids.
“Old man, I need an explanation.”
Tsunade was the first to speak.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked serious, of course he knew what Tsunade was referring to.
“The Anbu has already found out that the information leaked when Naoki left the village was because of a traitor in the village, so this is my responsibility as the Hokage.”
Naoki scratched his head and hurriedly said,”It’s nothing, Hokage-sama”
“”Hey, who is that traitor?” Tsunade asked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said,”He is a Chunin, born a commoner.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“How could a Chunin know about Rope Tree?” Tsunade asked
“well……”
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed but did not answer.
At this time, Shimura Danzo, who was sitting next to him, said,”The traitor is called Eken, his father is Ryotaro, and his former name was Senju Ryotaro.”
“What, Ekin?���?”
Rope Tree was shocked and a little bit unbelievable, and subconsciously said:”How could Yi Jianjun be a traitor? He obviously taught me a lot of things, and… and his father is a hero of the village!”
Shimura Danzo still had that indifferent look, and said calmly:”Nothing is impossible, people will change, it is indeed a bit unexpected that he would become a traitor, but this is the reality”
“Why, why did he do this?
“Out of anger, or unwillingness, anyway, you can bear the name of Senju, but he can only be a commoner. Perhaps this is something that he finds difficult to accept.”Shimura Danzo said[]
“” Okay.”
Tsunade suddenly spoke, stopping Nawaki from speaking again, staring at Shimura Danzo and saying,”That’s it.” Shimura Danzo remained silent and did not speak again. Ishigamihara glanced at the scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, the other two advisors looked calm, and the atmosphere in the Hokage’s office suddenly became solemn.
“”
It was Sarutobi Hiruzen who broke the silence. Ishigamihara bowed slightly.
“From now on, your rank will be promoted to Jonin. In addition, you will enter the Anbu and serve as a team leader.
This is considered to be the next job arrangement for Ishigamihara. As for the promotion of Ishigamihara to a ninja level, the Hokage has the right to do so. In addition, it is a war period now, so it can be said that special matters are handled specially.
However, Ishigamihara’s answer will make the faces of several people present change slightly, especially the two advisors.
“I’m sorry, Hokage, I promised Nawaki to teach him Wood Release. Besides, I have some gains from the battlefield that need to be sorted out, and I’m afraid I can’t take on other tasks in the short term.”
Utatane Koharu spoke in a serious voice:”Do you know what you are saying? Ishigamihara! As a ninja, you refuse the order of the Hokage. Have you forgotten the Ninja Code?”
Ishigamihara had a calm expression, turned his head and stared at the other party, and his tone was equally calm.
“Mr. Advisor, I am just stating a fact. Ninjas are not tools in your hands.”
“You!……”
Utane Koharu’s expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted, but the next moment his voice stopped abruptly.
This was because Ishigamihara just looked at him quietly, his left eye turned white, and his right eye was blood red with three black magatama beads.
”
Is this what Mito-sama taught me, or do you disagree with it?”.
