Mirai was shocked when he heard the news. He had no idea what kind of mission it was, or how urgent it could be.
He glanced at Kushina beside him. She said, "Since it's an urgent mission, you should hurry and go."
Naturally, she understood his priorities. Mirai nodded, then placed his hand on the Anbu member's shoulder.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The Anbu member was somewhat startled as the two vanished in front of Mirai's residence...
The Hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama, you summoned me so urgently. What happened?"
Soon afterward, Mirai appeared before the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage nodded and said, "A few days ago, the intelligence division intercepted an intelligence letter from Sunagakure."

Mirai understood history even better. He knew that this superficial peace would eventually shatter. After all, the shinobi powers had their own pride and would naturally never allow Kono Yohei to grow too powerful.
That was precisely why the Third Shinobi World War erupted. That same year, the Third Kazekage disappeared, while Hatake Sakumo was vilified over a failed mission
