"We're finally back in Konoha!"
Uchiha Izumi gazed at the Konoha Gate a short distance away, a gleam of joy flashing in her eyes.
After being away for so long, Uchiha Izumi had started to miss Konoha's wide variety of snacks. Eating too many soldier pills really did make her stomach turn!
"Is Tsunade's Hokage election about to start?"
"Will they end up fighting, meow?"
Kijiro was excited too. When they left the village, Tsunade had already been preparing to run against Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi for the position of next Hokage. Now that they were back, things should be reaching the most exciting part.

Tsunade's approval rating was already high. Add in all the ninja who supported
