"Time really does fly."
Sitting in the Hokage's office, Xia Yan looked at the bustling scene outside his window and could not help smiling.
Time passed far faster than people imagined. Before anyone knew it, the calendar had quietly reached Year 60 of Konoha.
Year 60 of Konoha was a very special date for Xia Yan, because he knew perfectly well that this was when the original story truly began!
Although he had mangled this world's storyline beyond recognition, Xia Yan no longer cared that much.
