? Konoha Ninja Village.
As usual, the two gatekeepers Chunin are responsible for standing at the door and checking the ninjas and merchants who are constantly coming and going.
"Oh! Isn't that Kakashi?!"
"They completed their mission to Land of Waves so quickly!!"
At this time, the two gatekeepers Chunin suddenly saw several figures approaching in the distance. After seeing the outlines clearly, they smiled and said hello.
"Konoha! I'm back!!"
His eyes returned to Yu and his group of seven people. They had just seen the shadow of Konoha from a distance, and then they saw Naruto waving their arms and shouting like a fool from a distance.
"Idiot..."
Seeing Naruto acting like an idiot, the expressionless Kimimaro and Sasuke unexpectedly formed a rare tacit understanding. They snorted and complained, causing Bai next to him to cover his mouth and chuckle.
"Who are you calling an idiot? You two guys!!"
Hearing Kimimaro and Sasuke's complaints, Naruto's eyes actually burst into flames, and the three people's eyes turned into electricity as they looked at each other across the distance.
Maybe all the idiot protagonists of passionate anime will become friends with this guy Naruto...
Seeing the funny looks of Naruto and the others, a faint smile flashed across Yu's face, but when his eyes fell on the village that was getting closer and closer, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Konoha...
I'm back again...
Looking at the familiar gate of Konoha, countless scenes of his past life in this village flashed through his mind. Yu sighed in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little complicated...
"Okay, we're already here! Naruto shut up!!"
Seeing Naruto making a lot of noise along the way, Kakashi stopped him with helpless expressions.
"Although we are all old acquaintances..."
"But Kakashi, you understand, routine inspection is Konoha's rule..."
After taking the pass handed over by Kakashi and checking it, the two gatekeepers Konoha Chunin smiled and handed the pass back. When their eyes fell on Yu and his party, they were suddenly shocked, "He... he is?!"
He has pale broken hair, a loose and casual black ninja kimono, and a young and handsome face that attracts everyone's attention all the time. Although Yu is not wearing the Ninja Forehead Protector, the aura inadvertently revealed by Gu Panzhi is still something that cannot be underestimated.
"I haven't been back here for a long time..."
"This is my pass to prove that these two are my subordinates. They are here to participate in Konoha and Chunin Ninja Exams this time..."
Seeing the two gatekeepers Konoha Chunin seemed to recognize his identity. With a relaxed and carefree smile on his face, Yu calmly took out a pass certificate from his clothes and handed it to the two of them.
"You... you are..."
His voice was trembling slightly unconsciously. Although several years have passed and Yu's appearance and body shape have changed a lot, the two Konoha Chunin still recognized his identity at a glance.
"Um, this... passes... it proves that there is no problem..."
Facing the pass certificate handed over by Yu, the two gatekeepers Konoha Chunin looked at Kakashi subconsciously. After seeing Kakashi nodding in acquiescence, they finally let Yu and his party out as if they were receiving amnesty, "I'm sorry, this is a necessary procedure... please... please go in..."
"I didn't expect that person to come back!!"
"No... we have to hurry up and notify Lord Hokage!!"
It wasn't until they saw Yu and the other three entering the Konoha house and walking away that the two gatekeepers Konoha Chunin collapsed and sat on the ground as if they were falling off. They looked at each other and disappeared instantly.
Konoha is still prosperous. After successfully entering the village through the gate, you can see merchants, residents and ninjas coming and going everywhere, and even tourists from other countries. All of them show that Konoha is the largest ninja village in Ninja World.
But after walking into the long-lost Konoha, looking at the familiar streets of Konoha in front of him, Yu's clear amber eyes seemed a little silent.
"Konoha turns out to be like this..."
Walking on the bustling streets of Konoha and looking at the endless flow of people around him, Bai felt very fresh and curious.
"Is this the village where Lord Yu lived since he was a child..."
Kimimaro was walking on the other side, with a look of interest on his stern face.
"Wow! Look! That guy in black clothes is so handsome!!"
"I can't stand it anymore! The cold and handsome guy with white hair walking behind is not bad either!!"
"Oh my god! That girl is so beautiful! I feel like I'm in love?!"
As soon as they stepped into the bustling street of Konoha, the unfamiliar and outstanding appearance of Yu, Kimimaro and Bai caused quite a commotion. There were even a few excited little girls around who looked like they were about to faint.
"Uh hehe, Master Yu..."
"Are everyone at Konoha so enthusiastic..."
Hearing the discussions and exclamations around him, and feeling the scorching eyes of the crowd falling on him, Bai had an awkward yet polite smile on his face.
Seeing Bai's embarrassed look, Yu couldn't help but smile. The setting of nymphomaniacs in the two-dimensional world is indeed so exaggerated. When Yuan thought about the past when he lived in Konoha, he also experienced this all the way.
"What... these two guys are actually more popular with girls than Sasuke!!"
"Damn... Why don't you just look better! What's so great about it!!"
At this time, I heard the discussion of the girls around me, and I saw Naruto who was following Yu and the others with a look of resentment on his face, "If I become Konoha's Fifth Hokage in the future... I will definitely be so popular with girls, hehe..."
Having said this, Naruto's mind has automatically filled up a series of beautiful pictures.
"Idiot..."
Seeing Naruto looking like he was daydreaming, Sasuke next to him struck him mercilessly.
"You three stay here, I will report this mission to Lord Hokage."
At this moment, Kakashi, who was walking behind a group of people, suddenly stopped, and then Body Flicker Technique disappeared from the spot.
"Teacher Sarutobi..."
Seeing Kakashi Body Flicker Technique leaving here, Yu knew that he must be eager to report to Third Hokage about his return to Konoha, but he did not stop him because since he just stepped into Konoha, his Observation Haki had already sensed that Konoha was everywhere around him. Anbu is monitoring his own spies.
"In this case, Bai, Kimimaro..."
"You two just stay here and wander around or find a place to stay."
Knowing in his heart that he would inevitably have to meet Third Hokage, Yu simply ignored all the vague glances around him and confessed to Bai and Kimimaro.
After he finished speaking, the voice still stayed in place and the person disappeared.
"Third Hokage-sama!!"
Hokage office, Third Hokage was sitting behind the desk reviewing documents as usual, but suddenly a ninja kneeling on one knee appeared in front of him.
"It's Kakashi..."
"Did you lead Team 7 back from Land of Waves's mission so quickly?!"
Seeing Kakashi appear in the office without knocking on the door, Third Hokage was a little surprised, but he still smiled.
"It's too late to report this mission to you..."
"Lord Hokage... that person is back!!"
It was very rare that Kakashi directly interrupted Third Hokage's words. The cynical expression on his face was now heavy.
"It's not your style to be so glum... What do you mean?"
Seeing that Kakashi, who was usually steady, was acting uncharacteristically today, Third Hokage had a look of shock on his face and said half-jokingly.
"Yakushi Hane..."
But when Kakashi spit out the name with a solemn expression, the pipe in Third Hokage's hand trembled, and the entire Hokage office fell into a terrible silence, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing...
