The most crucial part of the plan, Kizaru successfully completed the mission.
With only the tedious tasks of writing plans and arguing with the foolish group left, Kizaru naturally took on the role of a slacker and handed everything over to Orochimaru and Tsunade.
When it came to doing real work, especially regarding their own matters, both Tsunade and Orochimaru were very reliable.
On the second day back in the village, Kizaru, along with the Sannin and a group of ninjas who had participated in the war in Amegakure, attended the village's commendation ceremony.
At the commendation ceremony, Kizaru, who received special commendation and publicity, spread his title of "Golden Flash" thoroughly throughout Konoha.
By capturing Raikage, defeating Danzo, and killing Hokage, Kizaru's achievements gradually spread and fermented in the ninja world.
The fame of Kizaru, the Golden Flash of Konoha, had begun to spread throughout the ninja world.
The spread of fame brought two benefits to Kizaru.
First, the fusion rate of the character card in his mind continued to increase and was about to reach 80.
Second, the Iwagakure, which had already formed an alliance with Konoha, specifically issued an order that any Iwagakure ninja encountering opposition to Kizaru during a mission could unconditionally abandon the mission and would not receive any punishment afterward.
This order further fueled Kizaru's fame, making him a prominent figure in the ninja world for a while!
As he gained fame and strength, Kizaru was indeed winning in life.
As a winner in life, Kizaru didn't pay much attention to the outside world's discussions.
Taking advantage of the lull before the arrival of the diplomatic missions from the Land of Wind, Lightning, and Earth after the Second War, Kizaru resumed his leisurely lifestyle.
It was after ten o'clock in the morning, and Kizaru, who had just gotten up and had breakfast, stood in front of the front door of Shimura's house with his hands in his pockets.
Today was the day when the Nagato's family officially joined Konoha after passing the village's review.
Together with Tsunade, Kizaru, as Nagato's guarantor for the review, received an invitation from the grateful Nagato family to come over for a meal.
As descendants of the Uzumaki clan and possessing medical abilities, Nagato's family received decent arrangements after passing the review.
The village not only arranged for Nagato's parents, Ise and Fuso, to work in the hospital but also prepared a three-bedroom house for their family.
Initially, the house was arranged to be located in the middle of the village towards the outskirts.
Upon learning this, Tsunade directly waved her hand and took out a detached villa with a courtyard from the vacant Senju clan's property and gave it to the Nagato family.
As the heiress of the Senju clan, who held the most properties in Konoha, giving away an empty villa was too easy for Tsunade.
"Big Bro Kizaru, sorry to keep you waiting." Carrying two large bags of gifts prepared for the Nagato family's housewarming visit, Minato walked out of the house.
Today, at the housewarming banquet of the Nagato family, Tsunade will take Nawaki and Kushina to attend, and Kizaru will also attend. Minato is not in school and is preparing for the early graduation exam at home.
"It's no trouble at all! Let's go!" Kizaru said cheerfully, maintaining his hands-in-pockets posture without moving to help, and led the way towards the Senju clan's property with Minato.
When Kizaru arrived at the Nagato's family's new home with Minato, Tsunade, who had arrived early with Nawaki and Kushina, was already helping out.
"You're quite early, aren't you?" Sitting in the living room, watching Kizaru enter the house led by Nagato, Tsunade couldn't help but tease.
"Yep, as soon as I got up, I rushed over." Kizaru laughed and walked into the living room.
"Minato, just put the stuff down here," Tsunade said kindly as she took over the bags from Kizaru, then turned to him and said, "Minato is your little brother, you know, but you never offer to help! What a jerk!"
Reaching out to pat the head of Minato, who wanted to help with speaking, Kizaru smiled and replied, "I'm just training his physical endurance."
"Tch!" Arms crossed in front of her, Tsunade snorted coldly.
"BigĀ Bro Kizaru, please have some tea!" Nagato, who had just opened the door for Kizaru, obediently brought a cup of hot tea from the kitchen and returned to the living room.
"What a thoughtful child!" Bending over to take the tea cup, Kizaru rubbed Nagato's head again before walking straight to the sofa in the living room and sitting down.
"Nagato, this is Minato, your Kizaru's younger brother. You can just call him Minato." Tsunade, still very fond and patient with obedient children, explained.
Nodding obediently, Nagato looked at Minato with a warm smile beside him. "Hello, Minato!"
"Hi, Nagato!" Bowing slightly, Minato smiled and greeted him.
"Minato, Nawaki and Kushina are in the backyard. Take Nagato with you to play with them!" Watching the two youngsters in front of her, Tsunade said gently.
Hearing Tsunade's words, the young Nagato showed a look of interest, but because of his shy nature, he didn't dare to invite Minato himself.
"Okay, Big Sis Tsunade!" Minato replied and, noticing Nagato's expression, took his little hand, leading him towards the backyard as directed by Tsunade.
"Such happiness!" Watching Minato and Nagato holding hands as they walked away, Kizaru exclaimed.
Watching the two youngsters walk away and hearing Kizaru's heartfelt words, Tsunade walked up to Kizaru with her hands on her hips.
"I say, aren't you and Minato about the same age?" Tsunade, who usually overlooked Kizaru's age due to his mature physique and appearance, realized and remarked.
Sitting with one leg crossed over the other and stroking his chin, Kizaru looked at Tsunade in front of him and joked, "Yes, we're both over ten years younger than you, Tsunade-senpai!"
A vein popped on Tsunade's forehead momentarily, and her right hand, which wasn't on her hip, clenched into a fist.
"Kizaru, do you want to die?" Smiling stiffly, Tsunade, feeling provoked, glared at Kizaru.
"So scary!" Despite Tsunade's deathly glare, Kizaru laughed and said.
Raising her clenched right hand, Tsunade lightly struck Kizaru's chest and said angrily, "You jerk, speak properly!"
With his chest pressed by her fist, Kizaru raised his hands in surrender, "Got it, Tsunade-senpai!"
Even though Kizaru had already relented, Tsunade still felt increasingly angry looking at his smiling face.
The more she looked, the angrier she got!
"Ah! I really want to punch this jerk!"
Screaming internally, Tsunade forced herself to calm down, considering that today was supposed to be a happy occasion for the Nagato family.
Withdrawing her right hand and crossing her arms, Tsunade decided to pretend she didn't see anything, turned around, and headed towards the kitchen.
