Chapter 416: The shout of farewell resounded through the sky. If you have extra book tickets, please throw them at me.

"Teacher Jiraiya~"

"Are you leaving?"

Soon after several members of the Anbu left, Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato walked out of the dense forest not far away, with trepidation and reluctance in their eyes.

"Did you all hear it? Yes!"

"Teacher Jiraiya forgot that the three of you have grown into trustworthy ninjas."

"Konan, Yahiko, Nagato!"

"It's been three years, and it's time to say goodbye~"

"But before that, let's have a good meal~ Konan, today's dinner is up to you!"

Boom~

Thunder rumbled in the sky.

Under the gloomy sky, Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato followed Jiraiya's back and walked towards the wooden house.

...

Because the Anbu members of Konoha withdrew from the mountains, no one knew what the four masters and apprentices were talking about... in the quiet night...

But, Jiraiya's nervous laughter was heard faintly.

The next morning, there was still no sunshine in the sky, only endless dark clouds and the dull sound of thunder.

A heavy rain suddenly came, adding a bit of sadness to this farewell.

"Teacher Jiraiya~"

"Yahiko, Nagato! As a man, you must protect Konan~"

"Well, we'll be separated for now, my lovely disciples~"

The light under the raging thunder stretched Jiraiya's figure long.

Until Jiraiya and the Konoha Anbu completely disappeared in the distant sky, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan could no longer suppress their emotions and burst into tears.

From today on, they...are orphans again.

"Nagato, Konan...cheer up, Jiraiya-sensei is right, we have to walk the rest of the way by ourselves."

"Perhaps, it's time for us to discuss what to do next."

Under Yahiko's comfort, Nagato and Konan gradually calmed down, but...the sadness in their eyes was obviously not something that could be eliminated in a short time.

Perhaps, that kind of thing needs to be baptized by a long time, just like a person's life.

"Hey~that guy finally left."

"The heir of Myoboku Mountain, the disciple of the Third Hokage, the Konoha Sannin...really a sharp guy. "

"What should we do? Do we need to add some ingredients for these three brats?"

"Stupid, don't do unnecessary things. Do you want to be killed by Madara?"

"We just need to quietly pay attention to their growth. When the time is right, Madara will naturally notify us…"

When Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato turned back to the wooden house, a figure similar to a pitcher plant emerged from the ground… As if they were neurotic, they fell into a quarrel.

…

Kingdom of Wind, Konoha Camp.

After signing the covenant in the Sand Village and delivering the first batch of supplies and silver… as agreed, the main force of Konoha stationed in the border oasis also began to move out of the camp.

According to the agreement, they must withdraw from the Kingdom of Wind… However, in order to avoid To prevent the Sand Village from making moves behind the scenes, at least... before the end of the war in Rain Country, Hatake Sakumo will lead hundreds of elite troops to temporarily stay in the northern part of River Country to pay attention to the dynamics of Sand Village.

As for Fujiwara Tetsuya and Akimichi Tofu... they will lead the remaining ninjas, the wounded, and the supplies delivered by Sand Village, and return to Konoha with Danzo first.

According to the instructions given by Sarutobi Hiruzen, after Fujiwara Tetsuya, Akimichi Tofu and the main force attacking Sand Village have a short rest, they need to rush to the front line of Rain Country and join the war against Iwagakure Village.

"Then Senior Sakumo, we will say goodbye here for the time being."

"Don't worry, I will send someone to deliver the things you gave me to Kakashi. "

Tossing the stone sculpture in his hand, Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and then looked back at Hatake Sakumo's calm expression with a little amusement in his eyes.

It must be said that Hatake Sakumo, a doting demon, is a very good carver. Except for the difference in the color of the material, the Kakashi stone sculpture in Fujiwara Tetsuya's hand is no different from the cute version of Kakashi in his previous life.

"What a bad taste~"

"You just need to hand the things to Kakashi, no need to say anything more?"

"Tetsuya, what if I hear something from Kakashi that I shouldn't hear? You should know the consequences. "..

"You two can save your words for later, Tetsuya kid... We should set off. "

Looking at the close relationship between Fujiwara Tetsuya and Hatake Sakumo, Danzo felt a little sour in his heart.

As a secret ally, why didn't Fujiwara Tetsuya treat him the same way as Hatake Sakumo...?

Fortunately, this time with the compensation from Sand Village, he didn't feel any worse...

...

Konoha.

The return of Fujiwara Tetsuya, Danzo... and the main frontline forces once again set off endless waves in Konoha.

Countless Konoha ninjas and villagers rushed to the streets like crazy... In the dense crowd, they were looking for their families and companions...

"Danzo, do you want to say a few words?"

In front of the team, Fujiwara Tetsuya glanced at both sides, and those fanatical eyes seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped... The corner of his mouth raised a ray of arc and turned his head to look at Danzo.

"Talk? What to say? "

Fujiwara Tetsuya's sudden question made Danzo a little confused.

In the past, he would at most slam the table in the dark base of the Root, or in the Hokage building... Standing in this sunlight, facing so many people, what should he say? What should he say?

"Hehe~ What do you think Danzo-sama is expecting?"

"It seems that you have stayed in the narrow space of the Root for too long~"

"No matter how strong the king of the night is, no matter how much power he has? He can't become the shadow of Konoha!"

"The shadow of Konoha! It symbolizes light, hope... the future."

"If Danzo-sama really wants to sit in the position of Hokage, he must learn to adapt... to life in the sun."

"Because, only those who are recognized by everyone in the village can become Hokage~"

Looking at Danzo who was lost in thought, Fujiwara Tetsuya chuckled and walked forward slowly.

"Hey! I say, everyone~~~"

When Fujiwara Tetsuya's clear voice sounded.

The streets on both sides suddenly became quiet, and the eyes... were still wild.Staring at Fujiwara Tetsuya with a burning look.

"Everyone! We are back~"

"We defeated Sand Village, which is also one of the five major ninja villages~"

"But this is just the beginning, not the end. We will defeat Iwagakure Village soon, end the war completely, and win true peace for Konoha."

"Where Konoha dances, the fire will also continue. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and let new leaves sprout!"

"The last wishes of the ancestors, the will of the companions who died in the Rain Country, the River Country, and the Wind Country to protect Konoha... and your expectations for peace will be inherited by us who are still alive... and will continue to be protected by us."

"Oh~Long live Lord Tetsuya!!!"

"Long live Lord Sakumo~"

"Long live Lord Hokage~"

...

"This kid...isn't he growing more than just strength?"

Not far away, Koharu Utatane, who came late, and Mito Kadokawa En stared blankly at the scene in front of them, and fell into silence in the deafening shouts.

At this moment, compared with the activeness of Fujiwara Tetsuya, Danzo... has become a background board.
