Received the news that the ninjas from the battlefield are back,

At this time, Sandai and a group of Konoha villagers have been waiting at the entrance of Konoha Village for a long time.

The welcome ceremony is an indispensable activity in the war, and it has a great cohesion effect on the morale and collective consciousness of the village.

Sure enough, after a while, a huge crowd of people came rushing in.

The leader is Nara Dan, followed by Jiraiya, Tsunade, Namikaze Minato,

The villagers of Konoha stood on both sides of the road, spreading flowers and cheering for the victorious Konoha ninja.

What was cheered were the names of ninjas who were famous in various battlefields.

Including Tsunade, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato,

Nara Dan even heard Kakashi's name. Obviously, Kakashi's strength also showed up in the war.

Of course, the one who shouted the most enthusiastically was Nara Dan's name.

The top management of Konoha did not cover up the reputation of Nara as the new god of Konoha, or in other words, they could not cover it up.

Everyone in Konoha now knows that a ninja from Konoha who is comparable to the first generation came from the Nara clan.

Nara ignored the cheers of the surrounding villagers and the shy shouts of the girls.

We walked straight to the end of the Triumphal Road and met Sandai.

"congratulations..."

"Break..."

The third generation looked as usual, seemingly not taking Nara's behavior of disobeying orders on the battlefield to heart at all.

In other words, even if you know the prestige of the Nara Sect, there is nothing you can do about it.

But the words in Sandai's mouth seemed to be lighting up something secretly, saying that some of Nara's ulterior motives had been achieved.

"Triumphant return..."

Nara Dan also smiled. He also gained a lot from this war, not to mention the increase in reputation that came with it.

"Congratulations, Third Generation Sir..."

"This is not just a victory for me..."

"It's also a victory for Konoha..."

Nara Dan's expression is meaningful,

"Isn't it?"

A complicated look flashed across Sandai's eyes, but he immediately returned to normal.

'Konoha's victory...'

"That's true..."

"It seems that the words I said before the war came true..."

Sandai moved his shoulders, looking tired.

"A new generation replaces the old..."

"Young people are becoming more and more scary now..."

"It seems like this old guy like me is really going to retire..."

Nara Suan asked with a smile, following Sandaime's words,

"Does the Third Generation now have a suitable candidate?"

This time, Sandai did not answer, but looked at each other and smiled in a surprisingly harmonious manner.

But under the joy of victory in the war, the shadows under the light seemed very inconspicuous.

The figure in the shadow is also silently paying attention to the movement here,

Watching Sandai and Nara playing the chords of their two harps,

The voice in the darkness looked very ugly, exuding a mixture of coldness and anger, like a ignited will-o'-the-wisp,

"Nara Dan..."

"The position of Hokage..."

"I won't let a guy like you succeed..."

But at the moment when no one noticed, Nara Sudan, who was talking to the third generation, gently turned away from the shadows under the sunlight, with an indifferent expression as if he was watching the heretic.

...

After the welcome ceremony,

The third generation continued to deal with busy official duties, and the aftermath of the war still required a lot of finishing touches.

And Nara Dan also went to the clan area to meet the Nara clan leader.

Jiraiya went to meet his former disciples,

"Konan!"

"Nagato!"

"Why are you here?!"

Jiraiya asked his doubts,

Xiaonan, on the other hand, supported Nagato, who was still injured, and recounted the whole story.

"Yahiko was killed by Hanzo..."

Jiraiya sighed lightly, careerists and war are things that this world will never lack.

But Yahiko happened to encounter two things at once.

"The reincarnation eye was also taken away by Nara Dan..."

This incident didn't cause much trouble for Jiraiya. Nara Dan himself was already at the top of the ninja world, and having a pair of Rinnegan eyes couldn't change the situation.

And just by looking at Nagato's appearance, you can tell that the cost of using the Rinnegan is quite high. For a strong man like Nara Dan, it's a matter of two opinions whether the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

Xiao Nan shook his head,

"According to Nara Dan, the Rinnegan Eye does not belong to Nagato,"

"But it belongs to one of his enemies..."

"He just came back to take the loot."

"And he also avenged us."

Jiraiya frowned and nodded, indicating that he roughly understood the matter.

Although the amount of information is quite limited, Jiraiya can also guess whether the situation is good or bad.

The bad news is that the mystery surrounding Nara Suzan has deepened once again. Who was the original owner of the Rinnegan Eye? Why did he become an enemy of Nara Sudan? And what was Nara Sudan's purpose of traveling thousands of miles to possess the Rinnegan Eye?

The good news is that Nara Dan is still generally on Konoha's side, and the situation is also under his control. Whether it is a known or unknown enemy, under the suppression of this new god of the ninja world, all demons and snake gods

It seems like it can't make any waves.

Jiraiya smiled bitterly, it seemed that it was no longer his turn to worry.

Because he knew very well that according to this trend, Nara's decision to become the Fourth Hokage was a certainty, and it was not the Hokage's decision that outsiders would interfere with.

"Xiaonan..."

"Nagato..."

Jiraiya could only tell his former disciples,

"Now that you're here, let's stay in Konoha..."

"I think Narazan will make arrangements for you if he brings you here."

"You can ask me for help if you need anything..."

"As for Yahiko's dream..."

Jiraiya paused,

"Maybe you can see it in a different way here..."

Although Jiraiya couldn't see through Nara Zan, he also knew very well that Nara Zan was different from the first generation and Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Madara also had a bond with the first generation.

But Narazu didn't. He separated himself from other creatures in the ninja world with an absolute barrier.

Therefore, whether it is peace or war, it does not matter to Nara Dan, so Nara Dan will not use his absolute force to forcefully interfere with the operation of the ninja world.

Whether it is the unification that Uchiha Madara is trying to achieve, or the division of five villages that Senju Hashirama longs for, Nara Dan may not like it and will not do it.

Jiraiya didn't know what the ninja world that Nara Dan wanted was like, but Jiraiya knew clearly.

The ninja world with the God of Ninja cannot fight. It will maintain a certain level of peace, no matter how it is, it will maintain peace.
