Two days later.
A long procession appeared outside Konoha in grand fashion.
Minato Namikaze led the way.
Behind him were Guy, Obito, Rin, Ebisu, Genma, and the others.
Trailing at the very end were the thirty-one refugees they had brought back from the Land of Rice Fields.
White Fang had left two days earlier to handle another mission.
With Konoha so close at hand, everyone could not help but relax.
Although many of them had been stationed in places like the Land of Grass and the Land of Rice Fields for years, Konoha was still their home, when all was said and done.

"Guy—!!!!!"
Everyone immediately looked up.
Guy's face broke into delighted surprise.
"Dad?!"
He stared intently ahead.
Who else could that green figure standing at Konoha's gates be but his father, Might Duy?
Guy immediately dashed out of the group and ran toward Might Duy.
By their reckoning, father and son had not seen each other for nearly three full years.

Might Duy clutched Guy tightly and vigorously patted his back, tears and snot instantly pouring down his face.
"Son! Your old man has finally seen you again!!!"
Might Duy cried a complete mess.
His voice was so loud that everyone around them could not help but glance
