Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

Due to its high latitude, although the Ninja Continent has entered summer, the Iron Country is still a snowy scene. The snowflakes falling from the sky fall on people's faces, with a trace of chill.

However, for the well-trained ninjas guarding outside the Five Kage Conference, who had once walked on the edge of life and death, although this phenomenon seemed very novel, they were still able to keep their eyes straight and let the waves flow. Snowflakes fell on his body, and he stared at the ninjas from the hostile ninja village who had been at war with his country for many years, as if they could kill each other by doing so.

Yes, there is such a tense scene outside the Five Shadows Conference. The ninjas from the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Water have maintained this attitude since the first day of this conference. After all, that war swept the entire country. The war in the ninja world has just stopped for less than a year, and the hatred and hostility between the two countries due to the death of their respective shadows is still difficult to resolve.

Although the third-generation Tsuchikage and the third-generation Mizukage who had just taken office were conducting separate negotiations in the meeting hall, the two ninjas guarding outside were also unconsciously confronting each other.

A small platform not far from the Five Kage Conference is the garrison area for the ninjas from the five major countries. After many years of war, no country will be a staunch ally of another country. There will always be hatred and friction. Even between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder is no exception.

It is precisely for this reason that not only did no one think of mediating or discouraging the hostility and confrontation between the ninjas of the two countries during the talks, but almost everyone observed it with the mentality of watching a show and making fun of it.

"How long do you think they will continue to confront each other?" The woman sitting on the top of a tent and leisurely looking at the murderous Five Shadows meeting venue in the distance suddenly asked. She was wearing a tight-fitting black dress and had a hand on her head. Not only does the bun not look graceful, but it gives people a heroic feeling.

It was obvious that the target of the woman's question was none other than the young and muscular man who had just jumped from below to the top of the tent and was standing behind the woman.

In fact, he is said to be a young man, but the man looks to be nearly [-] years old. However, the strong energy and vitality on his face make people ignore his age involuntarily, and may even mistakenly think that he is a teenager. A boy of six or seven years old.

Seeing that the man did not answer her question immediately, but stood still behind her, the woman jumped up unhappily, turned around and looked at the man with a frown, "You haven't answered my question yet, Sarutobi."

As she spoke, the woman seemed to kick the top of the tent angrily. Fortunately, the tents of the Kingdom of Iron were different in style from the tents of other countries in the ninja world. Their form was more like a yurt, and the structure was relatively explainable, except for the color. It is richer and brighter, and looks like clusters of gorgeous flowers from a distance. It is precisely because of this that it can withstand people's trampling.

The strong young man seemed to have long been accustomed to the woman's bad temper. He just touched the goatee on his chin that he had just grown recently and shook his head, "How do I know about this kind of thing? Anyway, I still hope they end it as soon as possible. After all, we can hold the Five Shadows Conference." We are not here to fight, but to resolve hatred and seek peace.”

The young man's high-minded words seemed to be a bit highbrow, at least there was a look of disapproval on the woman's face and she snorted softly.

But in fact, the woman knew very well that her companion's words were indeed spoken from the bottom of his heart. After all, he was the true initiator of this Five Shadows Conference.

Yes, this sturdy young man with a compassionate and gentle look is none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has just become the third Hokage.

The woman who can lose her temper with the Hokage is naturally Koharu, who has become the village's top management and backbone as the older generation gradually passed away during the war.

As a woman, even with the blessing of being a ninja, it is still inevitable that sensibility is greater than rationality in Koharu's mind.Therefore, she had never welcomed the peace talks at the Five Kage Conference, having experienced the trauma and pain of war. It was only due to the pressure of Sarutobi Hiruzen's status as Hokage that she resisted her dissatisfaction and came to participate. for this Five Shadows Conference.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to comfort his friend, so he had to stay silent to deal with Koharu's anger.

After a long silence, Xiaochun broke the silence after turning to bed, "How long will it take for this Five Shadows Conference to end? We have been here for almost a month, right?"

"Perhaps it will take another week," Sarutobi Hiruzen replied, "After all, every village is now in a state of dire straits waiting to be revitalized. Even Kumoyin Village, which has not participated in the war, has been destroyed due to the rebellion of the Golden Horn Troops. The vitality is severely damaged”

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment, because his teacher and senior, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, died in this rebellion to protect young people like them. When they thought about this, both of them were shocked. I couldn't help feeling like my heart was tied like silk, with throbbing pain.

"So it's normal for the various ninja villages to compete for the greatest benefits." After all, he had become the Hokage, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's castle had grown a lot deeper. He quickly collected his emotions and continued.

"You must know that now is not the time when the first generation of adults can suppress the entire ninja world during the first Five Shadows Conference, so the competition for interests has naturally become more intense and long-lasting. In fact, Men Yan and Jing have experienced many long-term conflicts. It lasted a whole day of heated arguments.”

After turning to bed, Koharu was no longer in the mood to look at the ninjas of the two countries, Water and Earth, confronting each other in the distance, so he raised his head and looked at the distant blue sky, his thoughts drifting away involuntarily, "The era of the first generation of adults."

As a member of the Hokage Guards during the first Five Kage Tournament, Koharu Koharu had naturally seen Senju Hashirama's mythical appearance as a Six Paths Sage at that time, and he was among his companions at that time. Thinking of this, Koharu Koharu Koharu was one of his companions He suppressed his angry expression and felt a little empty in his heart for some reason.

The brutal pursuit battle that left Konoha traumatized a few years ago has always been a nightmare that Koharu didn't want to mention when she went to bed. Kurosaki Ichigo's pure white hair and hazy eyes often flashed in her dreams. .

Of course, Senju Tobirama did not severely punish her for that failure, and even ended the punishment of Koharu sleeping in advance because of the increasingly tense situation, and promoted her to a team named Feiyuan. The leaders of the special forces, their responsibility is to hunt down Ichigo Kurosaki who had defected from Konoha with Nariko.

It's a pity that no one expected that this war that everyone thought would end quickly would actually sweep the entire ninja world as its scope continued to expand, becoming the first magnificent ninja war.

As the war continues to escalate and expand, it is naturally difficult for the members of the Feiyuan Army to survive alone.Soon, Feiyuan's troops were temporarily disbanded, and Xiaochun was once again transferred to the advisory group, leading the troops to the front line. No one seemed to remember the defector who once caused a sensation among the village's senior officials.

"When peace comes, are you going to do something?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said, interrupting Koharu's thoughts as he went to bed and flew further and further away.

After turning to bed, a look of confusion flashed through Xiaochun's eyes, "Is there really such a thing as peace?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Why can't you believe it? Although I may not know how long it will last, the peace now is indeed within reach."

"Are you talking about this kind of peace?" After saying that, Koharu turned to bed and pointed at the ninjas who were still confronting each other in the distance. The atmosphere there was still so tense that people couldn't help but hold their breath, as if there was someone who looked wrong. Just like a fight.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was choked up by Koharu's words, and he could only scratch his head and respond sheepishly, "This is only temporary. After all, the peace talks are not over yet, but we are working hard."

After going to bed, Koharu looked back and glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose face was filled with confidence and a sunny smile. Perhaps this was Senju Tobirama's decision to hand over the position of Hokage to Hiruzen Sarutobi before his death after years of entanglement. The reason why Zhan inherited it is that his charisma and smile are so contagious that people can't help but follow his footsteps.

Looking at the smile of his companion, the depression in Xiaochun's heart dissipated a lot when he went to bed. He couldn't help but lower his head and really think about the question raised by the other party before, "Did you say after peace?"

Seeing Koharu's change of attitude when he went to bed, the smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became even more intense. "That's right, after all, after the war is over, there is a lot of waste to do, so you have to think of a job early, so that you won't feel like you are exhausted by then. It’s useless, Danzo and the others have already thought about what to do next.”

After turning to bed, Koharu thought for a while, and couldn't help but think of Ichigo Kurosaki again, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I will re-establish the Kite Force and continue my mission before the war started."

"Hitobi?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent. He had long been an advisor to the chairman of the advisory board and a high-level village official. He was also one of the few people in Konoha who knew about Ichigo Kurosaki's defection, so he naturally understood that Tobi It is the responsibility of the Tobi Force, and it is precisely because of this that he remains silent, because he knows that Kurosaki Ichigo has always been a wound in Koharu's heart, and he does not know how to comfort him.

After going to bed, Xiaoharu let out a long sigh. He no longer had any thoughts of watching the fun. Just when he was about to stand up, he accidentally glanced at the place where the warriors of the Iron Country were staying in the distance. There was a sudden sound in his mind. The back of one of them overlapped with the one in his memory, and he couldn't help but say loudly, "It's him."

"Who?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled by Koharu who was transferred to his bed, and he quickly calmed down and asked.

"Uchiha Ichigo"
