Peaceful days!

July, the Konoha Year 37.

The back courtyard of the Hokage's residence in Konoha is quiet and elegant, and the gentle evening breeze makes it a beautiful place.

The courtyard was bustling with activity at the moment, exuding a relaxed and warm atmosphere.

Kagami Uchiha and Shimura Danzō alone on either side of a stone table in the courtyard. On the table were small cups of Sake and a few dishes of side dishes. The two exchanged toasts and chatted in hushed tones.

Watching his juniors laughing, frolicking, and chatting in the courtyard, Danzo picked up his sake cup, took a small sip, and his usually cold and hard face relaxed slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. "These juniors are all geniuses. Sakumo is composed, Hiruko meticulous, and Orochimaru and Jiraiya are no less impressive."

"Especially that brat Minato, his talent is truly terrifying. Luckily, he's a genius from Konoha, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep at night."

"However, with them around, Konoha will be safe for the next hundred years!"

Kagami Uchiha rubbed his fingertips against his wine cup, his gentle gaze sweeping over the crowd in the courtyard as he calmly replied, "Yes, they are the future of Konoha. Haven't we been striving all this time for these young seedlings?"

"However, I believe this chaotic Shinobi World should end in our hands; we cannot leave these problems to the next generation!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo nodded slightly. "Yes, if only Lord Hashirama had thought like you back then."

His tone shifted, his voice growing deeper. "By the way, Mirror. The Five Kage Summit starts in two months. Are we really going to give face to Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure? In my opinion, wouldn't it be better to use the evidence of their villages' Tailed Beast to kill all their Kage in front of the entire Shinobi World, and then launch an attack? Before long, the Shinobi World will be under our Konoha's control."

His words were domineering and sharp, Danzo of Danzo's iron-fisted style.

Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha chuckled softly, raised his hand to lightly clink glasses with him, and then said calmly, "No rush."

"Danzo, we met when we were both nobody, and our friendship is as good as the sun and the moon; when have I ever let you down?"

"Now that the Second Shinobi World War has just ended, the ninjas of Konoha are exhausted from years of fighting. The most important thing right now is not to continue the war, but to use the Five Kage Summit to establish rules and order, so as to nourish our Konoha."

"You, just follow me closely. No matter what, Danzo will always be my great general!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo's expression changed, and his voice trembled slightly. "I understand! Kagami!"

"Wherever your finger points, that's the direction I, Shimura Danzō attack."

Seeing this, Kagami Uchiha couldn't help but smile, picked up his wine cup, and chuckled softly, "Alright, you're the Fire's Joy of Konoha, a tough guy who comes through fire and water; what kind of behavior is this? Drink up!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo's face showed a flash of embarrassment, and he hurriedly picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

After a moment, Kagami Uchiha looked up at the slowly setting sun, his expression calm, and continued, "Publicly judging the One-Tail and Four-Tails only confirms the crimes of Sunagakure and Iwagakure; whether to kill them or not is one thing, whether to prosecute them or not is another."

"Let this opportunity let everyone in the Shinobi World know that in the future, Konoha will no longer rely on war to dominate, but on the power of rules and righteousness to rule the Shinobi World."

"Once everything falls into place, in the future Shinobi World, anyone who dares to disobey Konoha will be violating the consensus of the Shinobi World. At that time, when we send troops, we will have a legitimate reason for our attack, and no one will be able to object!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo emphatically, his face showing admiration. "I only know how to kill, Kagami. Your method of careful planning and manipulating people's hearts is far beyond my reach."

"It seems that entrusting the Hokage Position to you was the best decision I ever made!"

Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha remained calm and slowly said, "Whether Lord Tobirama's decision was right or wrong is unimportant; future generations will judge."

"What I need to tell you is that you are in charge of external warfare and suppressing rebellions, while my main role is to maintain balance and stability. Only by complementing each other can Konoha enjoy lasting peace and stability."

"By the way, although I've entrusted all the important matters of this conference to Hiruzen, you should also keep an eye on everything from the shadows. After all, Hiruzen's personality is still somewhat merciful."

"When guests arrive, we naturally want to treat them well, but if someone is truly overestimating themselves and courting death, then we'll grant their wish."

"Understood!" Danzo voice, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes. "I will treat those who hold me in awe well; and I will also treat those with ill intentions well!"

After discussing business, the atmosphere between the two warmed up again, and they raised their glasses to drink together once more.

--

While Kagami Uchiha and Danzo were discussing official business, the courtyard was bustling with activity.

Hatake Sakumo stood quietly, gently protecting Uchiha Yukiho beside him.

In Yukihō's arms, little Kakashi was wrapped in a soft cloth, obediently squinting his eyes, looking innocent and adorable.

Tsunade Earth Flow great interest, lightly tapping Little Kakashi's cheek with her fingertips. Her eyes crinkled into a bright smile, "This little guy is so handsome. I wonder how many girls he'll charm when he grows up."

Yukihō looked at Tsunade with a gentle smile and teased, "If you like children so much, why don't you have one yourself?"

"Hey! Yukihō, what are you saying?!" Tsunade's face instantly flushed red as she stammered.

After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Kagami Uchiha in the distance with her beautiful eyes, which were filled with tears but also carried a hint of resentment.

Just then, Jiraiya strode over and cheerfully said, "Hey, Sakumo, how about we have Kakashi become my apprentice? Lord Jiraiya will definitely train him well!"

Orochimaru stood a short distance away, arms crossed, quietly watching the crowd chat and laugh. A rare hint of warmth appeared in his usually cold eyes.

Looking at Jiraiya's condescending, condescending attitude, Orochimaru couldn't help but scoff, "Heh... I don't know if he could become strong if he became your apprentice, but I do know that this kid will definitely be corrupted by you in the future, becoming addicted to those bathhouses..."

"Hey! You damn snake, shut up!" Upon hearing this, Jiraiya instantly became enraged and immediately started spitting out insults.

Minato and Hiruko stood together, discussing training and scientific research in hushed tones. Although Hiruko's ninja talent was average, his mind was sharp enough to bring Minato many new ideas. The youthful vigor and the mature composure of the young man blended together perfectly.

A gentle evening breeze swept through the courtyard, rustling the leaves and creating a serene and peaceful scene.

With far-sighted leaders at the top and New Generation of geniuses emerging, each capable of taking on significant responsibilities.

At this moment, Konoha is peaceful, powerful, and has a bright future.
