White beard in Konoha

A few more days later.

After the five major powers sent envoys to sign the non-aggression pact, this second ninja war finally came to an end.

Many ninjas have also been sent back to Konoha Village, including Edward and Yamashita Maple and Pig Deer Butterfly.

Only a handful of recon ninjas and guards were left on the other side of the border.

"Whew, it's finally back. Back

at the foot of the mountain in Konoha Village, Maple Leaf took a hard breath and said.

"It's a breath of fresh air. Edward

also stood aside and learned to breathe out from the maple leaf under the mountain.

There are no more overflowing chakras, no more corpses and no more smell of blood.

Only the fresh air purified by the forest made the two of them feel better this afternoon.

"Lord Edward, let's go back and report to the Hokage first. Pig

Deer Butterfly also bowed to Edward at this time.

"Go, go, go. Hearing

this, Edward waved his big hand and said.

"Yes. The

trio disappeared as soon as they saw Edward's statement, and left the place.

"Let's go, go eat Ichiraku ramen, I don't know if my uncle is still there.

After seeing the three of them disappear, Edward took the small hand of the maple leaf under the mountain next to him and shouted with steps.

It was as if he had returned to his childhood, and the adult Maple Leaf did not break free and left here with Edward.

...... Ichiraku ramen noodle restaurant.

"Where's Uncle?" Edward

, who was sitting in the ramen chair of Ichiraku, asked the young man in front of him, and at the same time a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"My father has retired, and I'll be the one to pull noodles for everyone, so what do you two guests need?"

but luckily, the uncle didn't die as Edward thought, the young man said to Edward.

"I see, let's get two of us a miso ramen each." Hearing

this, Edward was instantly relieved, after all, he still had some feelings for the ramen uncle who always took care of them.

"Okay, two guests, please wait. The

young man smiled slightly, and at the same time kept pulling up the ramen noodles in his hands.

"The village hasn't changed much, Brother Edward.

While the young man was pulling ramen, Maple Leaf, who was already an adult, kept looking around Konoha Village and said.

"Goo-la-la-la, yes, but the secret changes are quite big.

When Edward heard this, he laughed as usual, but he didn't know that he was also a little sad in his heart.

The former ramen uncle, the lady who sells flowers in the street, and the grandmother in the vegetable market have all retired in this second ninja war.

Some because they're dead, some because they're retired, and some because they don't have a business to do.

There used to be a lot fewer acquaintances on Konoha Street.

But the most heart-wrenching thing is that Edward's classmates and friends have all been left on the battlefield forever in this war.

"Two guests, here comes your ramen!" The

young man made two servings of miso ramen and brought them to Edward and Maple Leaf Yamashita.

"Goo-la-la-la, although my uncle has retired, the taste of this ramen has not changed.

When Edward saw the ramen, his big hands immediately began to pick up the bamboo chopsticks and eat the noodles.

"It's good that the guests like it.

When the young man heard this, the corners of his mouth rose and he said with a slight smile.

"By the way, I heard you just say, are you the uncle's son?" asked

Edward as he ate as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, the previous shopkeeper was my father, and I am his son, and you may call me Hand Beat. He

turned his head to Edward.

"Oh, do you want to hit it?"

Hearing this, Edward also stopped the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Lord Edward, the three generations of Hokage, please.

But at this moment, a ninja with a mask appeared out of thin air behind Edward.

"Oh, then, thank you for the hospitality of the boss.

Hearing the ninja's words behind him, Edward gulped down the entire bowl of miso ramen into his mouth.

"Let's go. Then

he gestured slightly to the maple leaf under the mountain, and left here with the ninja behind him.

"When will I grow into a powerhouse of the level of Big Brother Edward?" Maple

Leaf said with some sadness when he saw that Edward had left this place, feeling that his strength was insufficient.

"Well, forget it, keep eating noodles!" But

a moment later, Yamashita Maple's head was buried in the miso ramen bowl.

After all, he didn't have the same appetite as Edward, and such a large bowl of miso ramen was enough for him for a long time.

"Thank you, thank you for your hospitality, I paid for the guest just now. After

another while, Yamashita Maple finished the ramen in the bowl and said as he left the money on the table.

...... In the Hokage Building.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama, Edward-sama has been brought. Several

masked ninjas said to the old man in front of him, who had begun to age.

"Let's all go down. And

the three generations of Hokage, who saw Edward's huge figure, waved his hand slightly.

"Yes. Then

, several ninjas retreated silently, leaving only one large and one small.

"Three generations, you're old. Finally

, after Edward had looked at it for a long time, he no longer felt that the strength of the three generations was unfathomable, and then he was blatant.

"Haha, I'm not old yet, at least I can continue to work hard for the development of Konoha for a while.

After hearing Edward's words, the three generations jumped in their hearts, but they still managed to squeeze out a kind face.

"Boom-la-la-la, huh? Seeing

that the temptation was over, Edward returned to his former appearance.

"By the way, what's going on on the border, there's nothing wrong. The

three generations, who were unwilling to stay on the last sensitive topic, immediately changed the topic.

"Of course there aren't any problems, don't you know that.

Edward gave the old man a deep look and said.

Although the old man had given him some help and various kinds of support before, his blockade of Edward's strength had been real recently.

Edward had to stay on the border for more than a year.

"Okay, Edward, you have grown up, and your strength has also grown, do you have any plans for the future?"

Hearing this, the three generations who were blocked from talking pondered for a while, and chose to get straight to the point.

"Goo-la-la-la, of course, stay in Konoha and continue to contribute to Konoha.

Edward said without hesitation.
