"We are home!"
These few simple words represent the feeling of homecoming of thousands of ninjas of the Konoha army.
The Land of Rain, the Land of Wind, and fighting in several lands, and at this moment, they return triumphantly with glory!
There is no need for too many words, as can be seen from the smiles of the ninjas at this time.
Even a person with an indifferent personality like Suzuka can't help but smile at this time, and the smile is as beautiful as a flower.
Behind the dozens of people who went ahead, more and more figures fell.
Tsunade and the others did not step into the gate of Konoha first, but waited until everyone gathered and went together.
Sandaime was naturally happy. At this time, he and several Konoha high-level officials and some ninjas all looked at the shortest and thinnest figure among the dozens of people behind Tsunade and others.
All of Minato's performance on the battlefield, combined with his age, is enough to make everyone look at him differently.
Killing the enemy country's jonin, saving Konoha's reinforcements, assisting Sakumo, and killing the high-level ninja of Sand Village.
And the thing that is unknown to the public and only known to a few high-level people, sneaking into Sand Village and stealing the Desert Sorrow.
Although most of these things were not done by Minato alone, when so many things are added together, no one will think that it is because this young man is extremely lucky.
Even the ninjas of the level of Chiyo in the Sand Village are quite afraid of him. He can do all these things at this age.
When Minato noticed the gazes of several Konoha high-level people, he smiled at them and nodded slightly out of politeness.
Then his eyes moved and looked around in the crowd.
The eyes of Sandaime were full of admiration. Minato was originally favored by him, and he asked Jiraiya to accept him as a disciple.
At that time, although he thought Minato was a good seedling, he would never have thought that he would grow to this point in just a few years.
Not only the wisdom and character of this child, but also his talent in ninjutsu, he is the most talented geniuses that he, Hiruzen has ever seen in his life.
Compared with him, even his most genius disciple Orochimaru is far behind Minato.
In the history of the entire ninja world, no one has ever heard of anyone who has developed an S-level ninjutsu at Minato age.
Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado were also happy, after all, the emergence of such a genius in the village is a good thing for the entire Konoha.
Only Danzo, although he also had a smile on his face, there was a trace of gloom in his eyes, which was fleeting.
Although Minato was looking around, he was actually observing everything, because he had been brooding over the information leak in the Land of Rain before, and he couldn't figure it out where the leak came from.
In the end, the answer he got was that someone in the upper echelons leaked the information.
So, when that look appeared in Danzo's eyes, Minato frowned slightly.
But he understood the struggle between Danzo and Hiruzen, and it was possible that the former was resentful of his deeds.
It was not difficult for him to understand the reason for the decision made by Sandaime.
Although Minato could not let go of this matter, he could only suppress it and did not intend to pursue it further.
It was just that he had to be more cautious about Danzo.
when he thought of this, a hurried figure quickly rushed over and jumped in front of the ninjas who were welcoming the triumphant return of the Konoha troops at the main gate.
Several senior officials looked sideways, and when they saw that it was Kushina, their eyes shrank.
"What's wrong with you?" Danzo spoke immediately, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Hiruzen.
Kushina turned a deaf ear to Danzo's words. She looked around slightly and soon fell on Minato.
At the same time, Minato's eyes were fixed on her.
The two looked at each other and were stunned for a while.
They just looked at each other like this, without tears of joy, and without a word.
In this situation, they knew that it was not suitable for them to act at this moment.
Minato smiled at Kushina, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Kushina then smiled as well, and then retreated to the crowd of ninjas who were welcoming the Konoha troops.
Seeing her move like this, Minato couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He naturally didn't think that Kushina's feelings for him had faded.
Instead, she had become more mature under the baptism of time, which Minato had never expected.
As time went by, more and more figures fell, and finally thousands of Konoha ninjas finally gathered together.
Tsunade glanced at it, and then raised her arm, and saw that the team was divided into two sides from the middle. At the end of the team, there were dozens of stretchers.
These were the Konoha ninjas who died in the last battle with the Sand Ninja. Their bodies were brought back to Konoha by Tsunade instead of being buried in a foreign land.
The Third Hokage waved his hand, and everyone in the main gate of Konoha also made way.
Nearly a hundred ninjas carried stretchers and stepped into the gate first.
The dead go first, they are the heroes of this war.
Of course, there are more heroes who died in other countries. Compared with them, the latter is undoubtedly lucky.
The joy in everyone's eyes faded, and they remembered the dead.
After the dozens of stretchers entered Konoha, the Konoha army of more than a thousand people finally entered the village in a mighty manner.
Looking at the familiar streets and houses, everyone sighed in their hearts.
"Although I really want to welcome everyone, I know that it is more important for you to meet your family than to welcome you. Therefore, the team will be disbanded on the spot, and the celebration will be notified later."
After Hiruzenand Tsunade had a brief discussion, the latter said so.
When his voice just fell, a yellow light suddenly flashed in the crowd.
This speed made everyone dazed. Minato came to Kushina in an instant and grabbed her wrist.
Swish!
The next moment, the two jumped into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"These two children"
Hiruzen, Sakumo and others all smiled when they saw this.
Minato pulled Kushina across the rooftops, but the latter didn't care about the speed at all, just carefully felt the warmth from the hand holding her.
At this time, her eyes were sparkling.
Then, there was a slight sobbing sound.
Hearing this, Minato suddenly stopped walking, looked at Kushina with tears in her eyes, and slowly stretched out his palm.
Kushina was startled and her face turned red.
But to her surprise, Minato was not touching her face, but walked around and took off the Konoha forehead protector she was wearing on her forehead.
"What are you doing?" Kushina asked in confusion.
Minato didn't say anything, put the forehead protector in the ninja tool bag on his waist, then smoothed her bangs in front of her forehead, and pinned the hairpin he took out of his pocket.
After finishing, Minato smiled lightly and said leisurely:
"I'm putting the hairpin back on you"
