The man standing at the top of the ninja world

Nagato and his group of six were about to enter Konoha when two ninjas suddenly jumped out from the left and right sides behind the gate and stood in front of them.

"Stop, what are you..." One of the ninjas was only halfway through his words. He had already recognized the identity of the three ninjas, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Master Orochimaru, as well as Master Jiraiya and Master Tsunade, You are back."

"Shenyue Defeng, why are you here? Steel and copper are also here." There was a trace of doubt in Orochimaru's eyes. The two ninjas in front of him were one of his subordinates in the Land of Rain. They were seriously injured. Due to their relationship, the two of them transferred back to Konoha for treatment a few months ago.

According to Konoha's regulations, these injured ninjas will return to the battlefield after recovering from their injuries.

Orochimaru didn't see these two people among the last batch of ninjas who returned to the battlefield, but he didn't care, thinking that they might have injuries that hadn't been treated yet.

But looking at their appearance now, their injuries should have healed. Since they should continue to fight in the Kingdom of Rain, why are they guarding the gate here.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is it." The ninja named Kamizuki Defu explained: "After Copper and I fully recovered from our injuries, we were originally going to return to fight under your command, but the person who was responsible for guarding the gate of Konoha at that time The two chunin were too old and retired, and Hokage-sama couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so he asked Copper and I to guard the gate."

"That's right." Orochimaru nodded. He also knew the ninjas who were responsible for guarding the gate of Konoha. They were two old white-haired chunin. It is said that they have been guarding the gate since the establishment of Konoha. I guess it is normal for me to retire when I am almost 70 years old.

Shenyue comes out of the wind...steel and copper...

The corner of Nagato's mouth twitched slightly, and he was a little speechless. If he remembered correctly, the names of Konoha's two great gate gods were called Kamizuki Izumo and Gangzi Tetsu respectively. The names were so similar that it was difficult not to make him think. I'm guessing that the two future masters will take over from their fathers?

It turns out that not only the position of Hokage and the Will of Fire will be passed down in Konoha, but also the guarding of the gate will be passed on, right?

Not mentioning Nagato's inner complaints, after Kamizuki Defeng finished speaking, he took a closer look and found that there was no Konoha ninja behind the Sannin except for three unknown children. He said in confusion: "Orochimaru Sir, why did you come back from the Kingdom of Rain? Where are the other companions?"

"They are still in the Country of Rain. The three of us came back alone. The Hokage has a very important task for us."

As soon as he heard that it was related to Naruto, Kamizuki Defeng immediately became serious, "I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sama, please show me your identification."

Now is the time of war. The entire Konoha is on high alert, and the entry and exit of ninjas are strictly controlled. Every ninja who goes out has his or her own identity certificate to prevent ninjas from hostile countries from sneaking in in disguise.

Even the Sannin are no exception. Unless they come back with thousands of Konoha troops from the Land of Rain, their identity will not be suspected.

"Yes." Orochimaru and Jiraiya Tsunade each took out a card and handed it to Izumo Kamizuki and Gangzi Copper.

At the same time, Orochimaru flicked his right hand, and four or five vicious white snakes sprang out from his sleeve.

"Latent Shadow Snake Hand." Kamizuki Izumo took the card and saw this scene before he could take a closer look. He subconsciously let out a low cry, and at the same time he was sure in his heart that the Sannin was not someone else pretending.

The Hidden Shadow Snake Hand is Orochimaru's own ninjutsu. Only Orochimaru in the entire ninja world knows this trick. This is something more credible than identification.

After all, identification can be forged, but exclusive ninjutsu cannot be learned out of thin air.

Even so, considering their responsibilities, the two of them checked the card carefully.

"Lord Orochimaru, who are they?" After checking the identity documents, Gang Zitong looked at the three unknown children standing behind the Sannin and asked in confusion.

Orochimaru looked calm and replied: "They are the orphans of the Uzumaki clan that the three of us met by chance, so we brought them back."

They have all returned to Konoha, and the cooked duck can no longer fly out of Konoha's palms, so they no longer need to be as cautious as they were in the Land of Rain, and can appropriately disclose part of Nagato's information.

Moreover, in Konoha, there is no need to hide the identity of the Nagato Uzumaki clan, and at the same time, it cannot be concealed. A fool can see from the name that the Rinnegan is what really needs to be hidden.

The Uzumaki clan...

Needless to say, these four words can explain everything. Regarding the alliance between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha, everyone in Konoha ninjas has the mark of the country of Uzumaki on their clothes. Kamizuki Defeng and Gangzi Copper is no exception.

"I see, we get it." The two handed the three identification documents back to the Sannin, and then stepped aside.

The six people walked into Konoha, and under the leadership of the Sannin, they walked to a house.

Jiraiya walked to the door, took out a key and opened the door, then turned to Konan and Yahiko and said: "Yahiko, Konan, we are going to take Nagato to see the Hokage, you two will be at my house first. Wait a moment."

"We understand." Yahiko and Konan nodded obediently. Although they are young, their minds are much more mature than their actual age due to their life experiences. They understand that they can be brought back to Konoha by the Sannin completely. It's because of Nagato.

Although the two of them don't know exactly what the Uzumaki clan is, there should be no mistake that Nagato is very important to Konoha, and it is normal for the Hokage to want to see him.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at a battle report in his hand attentively, with a pleasant smile on his face. It was obvious that the content of the battle report made him very happy.

This battle report was sent back by Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo who is currently commanding the Konoha Ninja in the Kawakawa Country to fight against the Suna Ninja Village. The content is that Hatake Sakumo led the Konoha Ninja to ambush the Suna Ninja in the last battle. The main force of the village, the Sand Ninja Village was caught off guard after a great battle and returned with a huge defeat. Even the two strongest ninjas under the Third Kazekage, Akasa and his wife, were killed by Hatake Sakumo.

The Sand Ninja Village was severely damaged by this defeat. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be difficult to continue to compete with Konoha.

The Country of Grass, the Country of River, and the Country of Rain, in just a few days, good news came from the three battlefields of Konoha. It can be said that the day has passed since Konoha won the Second Ninja World War. Not far away.

After reading the battle report, Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and calmed down his inner excitement. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door in his ears.
