In Konoha: Three Choices at the Start

The two disgruntled girls immediately lowered their heads and shoveled rice into their mouths. Clearly, they were scared.

Before anyone knew it, half a month had slipped by.

With the Third Raikage's death, the Second Shinobi World War had more or less come to an end.

Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled the Konoha Ninja stationed along the border, one group after another.

As he had before, Hiruzen Sarutobi held a grand welcome ceremony for them.

But although the ceremony was much the same, some ninja no longer looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with the same respect.

They merely went through the motions. Near the end of the war, families in the Konoha High Command had sent two old, sickly people to make up their numbers, and many ninja resented it.

Not saying so to his face was already more courtesy than Hiruzen Sarutobi deserved.

After all, they still had to live in Konoha. Their wives and children were here too, and they had no powerful backers.

Nor did they have Liuyun's strength. All they could do was swallow their resentment in silence.

That was the tragedy of ordinary people.

After greeting Jiraiya and the others, Liuyun took Tsunade home.

The next day!

An Anbu operative came to Liuyun's door to summon Tsunade to a meeting.

Liuyun woke Tsunade, a cold smile playing at his lips.

The war was over. Naturally, it was time to divide the spoils!

This time, Sunagakure was probably going to lose a sizable chunk to those scheming bastards in Konoha.

He had no desire to attend the meeting.

For one thing, he was afraid he might not be able to stop himself from killing the Konoha F4. For another, he didn't care much for crowds.

Wouldn't it be better to stay home with Konan and the others?
