Upon hearing Mirai's news, Granny became more vigilant as well. She had no doubt that Mirai's source was reliable. That guy had always been hiding in the shadows, and his father had been the head of Root. She knew that what she did not know should be taken for granted.
Fortunately, it seemed there was no time to deal with Mirai for the moment. Mirai and Granny returned safely to Konoha.
There were no legendary ten thousand people in the streets to welcome them, no hero's treatment, not even a single person there to greet them. After being inspected by the "guards," they entered Konoha, and that was it!
"Do you think that old monkey doesn't like Mirai? What? Don't pick on Mirai. After all, Mirai killed Baki!" Mirai was a little dejected. His mental age might have been thirty, but his life as a ninja had only just begun, and he was still pleased with himself for killing the demon Mahabi.
Granny smiled and patted him. "All right, stop complaining, kid. This is for your own good! The Sand ninja truly wanted to kill you!" However, knowing how famous her disciple had become in Konoha, with titles like young hero being attached to Mirai by others, she felt a little stifled even as she tried to brainwash herself. Her disciple was really that amazing? Still, those deeds were all real. At most, they had been exaggerated a little, and she could not even deny them!
The two gradually approached the Hokage Building. Mirai was already on guard in the darkness. He knew how tight the security here was, and how many experts lurked in the shadows!
As usual, Granny kicked open the Hokage Office door. "Old man, Mirai is back!" she shouted angrily.
