The vague noise woke Yuhara from his sleep, and the first time he opened his eyes, he subconsciously reached for the ninja tool he placed beside the bed, but then he remembered that he was already at home.
Lying back down again, Yuhara stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while with his eyes open. After realizing that he could no longer sleep, he stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, got up, walked to the wall and opened the window.
The cool air of the early morning poured into the room, sweeping away the heat that had accumulated overnight. At the same time, the noise of Konoha within the wall not far away was transmitted more clearly into the room.
Konoha is still celebrating, celebrating the end of Ninja World War.
Five Kage Summit happened seven days ago. After reaching Five Nations Peace Accord, Third Hokage and his party immediately returned to Konoha, and they received an unprecedented welcome.
If you want to ask what Third Hokage got at the meeting, it was actually just an agreement, and the other thing was the goodwill of the samurai... Because of the efforts Third Hokage made at the meeting, the favorability of the Land of Iron samurai "NPCs" towards him gradually increased.
But does this mean anything? It doesn't seem to mean much.
But the ninjas of Konoha and the people were quite satisfied that Third Hokage could bring back a peace agreement, so the village continued to celebrate...Yuhara had only been participating in the war for a little more than a year, so his feelings at this time were not as clear as those of other ninjas.
Konoha people are extremely eager for peace.
In fact, Yuhara was actually in a very depressed mood at this time. He felt that Five Kage Summit had not achieved any results at all... To end Ninja World War? This was not because Five Kage wanted to end the war, but because the war could not be fought in the first place. This was a necessity.
Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, why did these two once Shinobi World most powerful ninjas put aside their grudges and let Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan shake hands and make peace? Because they both felt the pain, and both of their brothers died on the battlefield.
"To prevent children from going to the battlefield", this is the reason why the two major ninja clans put aside their feud and established Konoha.
However, looking at it now, the establishment of the Ninja Village is actually a bit counterproductive. Because the establishment of the Ninja Village system has made the scale of Shinobi World's war huge, so the children still have to go to the battlefield... Thinking about the attitude of everyone who showed up on Five Kage Summit, Yuhara seems to understand Madara Uchiha a little bit.
Human beings are really stupid.
However, human affairs cannot be appealed to gods, everything can only rely on human beings' own efforts.
Even if God really exists in the world, how would he view human beings? It must be a very detached perspective. God probably only finds the war between humans interesting, so he will not interfere or redeem... Maybe it is just like Yuhara saw the Bishan family versus the Marina Bay family in his previous life. You think it is quite loving, right, but the two major families are really fighting for their living space.
Nao Yu had expected that the disarmament agreement could not be reached, but he at least hoped that every village could ban ninjas under the age of fourteen from going to the battlefield. This wish had escaped a certain sphere of influence. It really had universal humanistic concerns. However, he did not expect that the Kage would be so indifferent to the lives of young ninjas.
Things are difficult in the world. At this time, Yuhara just hopes that Konoha can carry out this matter and first stick to the limit of one Kakashi's fourteen years old, and then sixteen years old.
With this feeling of defeat, Yuhara slowly went downstairs, ready to wash his face and eat something. However, just as he came downstairs, he returned to the bedroom upstairs again.
It's not that he forgot something important, he just picked up the "Sword Crate" that was placed next to the bed and carried it on his back, because without this thing on his back, he not only felt that he had some shortcomings, but also felt a little unsafe... Strictly speaking, this is definitely an occupational disease and needs to be treated.
Anyway, after Yuhara washed his face and ate something casually, he decided to go for a walk with nothing to do.
After going out for a while, the weather gradually became gloomy, and then it began to rain lightly, so the "Sword Crate" carried by Yuhara came into play... He directly took out a Iron Umbrella.
Well, Iron Umbrella.
It's not that Yuhara is not afraid of death, but even if he is really struck by lightning, he will basically not be struck to death.
The end of the war is a bit unreal. Yuhara is walking in the drizzle, his mind is basically empty, and he has no destination at his feet. He just takes it wherever he goes.
Unknowingly, Yuhara passed by a waterfall, and with the sound of gurgling water, he naturally stepped into a gloomy rift valley... This place is called Whispering Stream Trail, and Yuhara conducted some simple practices here a long time ago.
From the female ninja in Orochimaru's dungeon at the beginning, to squadron leader Rindou, team member Xinliang, squad leader Jian Dong, and then to team member Tigo, these people who have been exposed to war or other hardships and were eventually swallowed up seem to be very far away from Yuhara.
"What a pity..."
Yuhara stood in Whispering Stream Trail for a long time. It was not until the rain began to get heavier and his clothes started to wet that he quickly climbed to the top of the cliff...
Yuhara will never forget what happened in the past, and now, he is starting anew.
After returning to the top of the cliff, Yuhara walked in the direction of Konoha. As he walked, he met another person who was walking, or in other words, the other person was also a person with nothing to do - Kakashi Hatake.
If Yuhara is all melancholy because of the end of the war, then Kakashi's emotions will only be even worse. Even though Kakashi is only fifteen years old this year, he has been fighting for ten years... Kakashi is a veteran, the kind of veteran who has killed many of his teammates.
"Want to take a walk?" Yuhara asked.
"Walking."
"Armed for a walk?"
"Aren't you also fully armed, and also have...Iron Umbrella?"
Kakashi silently stayed away from Yuhara.
Lightning is dangerous and has a bad reputation. Think about that scene, Konoha When someone talks about that so-and-so coming, another person suddenly realizes, ah, the one who was struck by lightning...
Listen, this sounds very unpleasant.
The two walked together, but their positions were far apart, but they walked towards Konoha together.
As they entered Konoha Gate and walked towards Small Earth Building, they met Konoha people celebrating along the way, and some people would stop and bow slightly to them... They not only knew Kakashi, but also knew Yuhara.
At this stage, Yuhara can probably be considered "famous".
Yuhara glanced at Kakashi, thinking about this guy's name, "White Fang's Son", "Sharingan's Kakashi", "Copy Ninja", this senior could be considered Daimyo.
Think about yourself again, what kind of name will you have? Yuhara is very fast and likes to play with mercury. Why not call it... ahem, it's just a joke.
After arriving at Small Earth Building, Yuhara and Kakashi went in and walked around and found that no one was working today. Kushina had to participate in various celebrations, and the others had nothing to do.
Okay, after walking around for a while, everyone should go back to their homes.
After leaving Yuhara who might be struck by lightning, Kakashi held an umbrella and prepared to return to his home.
In fact, every time he met Yuhara during this period of time, he wanted to confirm whether what Yuhara said before was true. However, he never had the courage to speak because he was afraid of hearing some kind of answer.
Based on some kind of guilt, Kakashi has already told Kushina Uzumaki about this matter. Of course, Yuhara. is not involved. Kushina Uzumaki confirmed the fact that the enemy in Nine-Tails Incident can use the advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu, but she reprimanded Kakashi for doubting the production date.
Kushina Tell him not to think nonsense.
Kakashi just told this incident to his dead companions in the cemetery. This was considered sharing a piece of happiness. How could he leak any information under such circumstances? The possibility is slim... In fact, regardless of whether Kakashi leaked information or not, Kushina Uzumaki's answer was the same.
Not only Kakashi, but also Kushina Uzumaki treats the disciples of Minato very well, and they can basically be regarded as half mothers... Otherwise, Uchiha has a brain disease. This is not just a disease, human beings cannot grow such brains.
Thinking about some messy things, Kakashi returned to his home, and then he found a new package delivered to his door.
Kakashi picked up the package and found that the recipient written on it was indeed him. As for where the package came from? The words "Konoha Merit Appraisal Council" were written in the "Sender" line.
During this period of time, Kakashi has naturally heard of the name of this organization. He also knows that the medal system was promoted by "Crimson Crown". Now that he has received such a package, does it mean that the medals have already started to be issued?
Kakashi entered the home with the package. He shook off the water stains on his body, and then sat down cross-legged in the Japanese-style living room.
Kakashi took out a Kunai, and then neatly opened the package. Then he saw a pile of "certificates" and the medal sandwiched in the "certificates".
Not just one.
The shapes of Konoha's set of medals are roughly divided into three types, which are square, round and shield shapes. The materials are copper, silver and gold. However, Kakashi checked the weight and found out that they should be silver-plated or gold-plated.
The patterns on each medal were very delicate. Out of curiosity, he began to examine them one by one.
The first is the most common seventh-class medal "Medal of Distinguished Service". It seems that as long as you work hard and abide by your duties during the war, you can get such a medal. If you unfortunately die, you can also get this medal... unless something like fear of the enemy has happened to a certain ninja.
Next is the sixth-level "Medal of High-Rank Ninja", that is, ninjas who have performed at least once outstandingly in the war can receive such a medal, such as detecting information, rescuing teammates, completing high-level tasks, etc. Basically, all jounin can receive such a medal.
Then there is a fifth-level "Medal of Campaign Conquest". Ninjas who have played a major role in a certain battle can receive such a medal. It is conceivable that starting from this level, the number of medals issued has dropped sharply.
Then there is a third-class "Konoha Hero Medal". This is easier to understand. It is undoubtedly a reward for Kakashi's outstanding performance in "Battle of Kannabi Bridge". This battle is The battle in the "Konoha---Iwagakure War" was a turning point. Since then, Iwagakure has been unable to invade Land of Fire.
Finally, Kakashi also has a second-class "Konoha Council Honorary Medal", which is a medal given after comprehensively considering Kakashi's origin, experience, performance in all wars and even his future.
The judging criteria for a medal like the second-class "Medal of War Conquest Honor" are similar to the fifth-class Medal of Campaign Conquest. However, the judging criteria is not one battle but the entire war. Only ninjas like Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya can obtain such medals. Kakashi is definitely not qualified to get it.
However, the jury felt that Kakashi had a bright future, so they gave him an equivalent Medal of Honor from the jury. Compared with Medal of War Conquest Honor, the criteria for this medal are more flexible, that is, if the jury thinks you can do it, you can do it.
In this way, Kakashi got a total of five of the ten medals. Strictly speaking, if we count the number, he should be able to get more medals. For example, Medal of Campaign Conquest can get several medals. Then, Kakashi can get several medals. Since this is the first time the medal has been awarded, Konoha has a lot of work pressure, so it will not be awarded repeatedly this time, at least not for the first time. It may be reissued in the future, so ninjas like Kakashi will suffer more.
Of course, there are very few ninjas like him in Konoha.
If everyone dreamed of being twelve years old, Kakashi could probably say this to Hashirama Senju: What God of Shinobi? A native chicken and a tile-roofed dog, selling heads and ears by inserting labels.
What a pity...
Can't dream.
