Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

In the morning, the sun shines into Shuijian's house, and the chirping of birds getting up early to look for food can be heard outside the window.The clock beside the bed said it should be seven o'clock.

Remembering what her mother had said yesterday about going to the gate of Konoha Village to welcome her father back today, Minama got up quickly, packed up and walked out of the house.

At this time, my mother had already made breakfast and put it away. After finishing washing, she came to her own exclusive place and sat down.

"Mom, when will everyone come back today?"

"I don't know the specific time, but according to the Sandaime-sama's notice, it must be after nine o'clock in the morning. Let's go quickly after eating, otherwise we will miss daddy."

"Dad, are they coming back from Kumogakure battlefield?" I remember hearing Kushina mention it before.

"Ah, yes"

"Mom, many people will die in war, and many people will never be seen again."

"Yes, but they are all here to protect the people in the village. They are all heroes of Konoha. Ninjas exist to protect their most important things. Is there anything Mizama wants to protect?"

"Of course, I like dad, mom, and Itachi all."

"Ah, then Mizama needs to grow up quickly and become a great ninja in the future. But before that, he has to eat well, otherwise he won't grow up."

After hearing this, Shuijian stopped talking and began to focus on eating breakfast.

Mizama has always felt that her mother was not good at teaching her book knowledge, but her cooking skills are still really good.Even this breakfast tastes great.

After breakfast, it was already around eight o'clock when Kushina packed up and went out.

Mizama is almost five years old. He is growing very fast. He is about 1.1 meters tall and can already reach the height of his mother's belly button.

Out of the shyness of taking care of the little boy, Kushina no longer carried him on her back like before, so she took his hand and walked towards the gate of Konoha.

Along the way, many people they knew or didn't know greeted Mizama and Kushina.This situation became more and more common as his father Minato's fame increased, and Minato responded politely every time.

In this way, we arrived near the gate in about half an hour.

After arriving at the place, Shuijian saw that a lot of people had already gathered here.

There were people dressed as ninjas and people dressed as civilians. Some people they knew gathered together in small groups and chatted quietly. However, you could clearly see the anxiety on some people's faces, some were happy, and some were very happy. Some worries, various emotions.

Because there were too many people and it was difficult to squeeze forward, Kushina could only look in the direction of the gate from a distance behind the crowd, with a somewhat anxious look on her face.

Because Minazama was shorter, he could only look at the sea of ​​people in front of him, looking left and right to see if he could squeeze forward.

At the front of the gate, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and his two advisors and teammates, Koharu and Mito Monobu, were also there.

There are also some clan heads or elders in the village around, such as Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Kaiichi, and Akimichi Choza, the three heads of the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly combination, and the head of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hiashi, etc.

In fact, not only are some frontline ninjas returning to Konoha today, they will also bring back the bodies of some Konoha ninjas who died in the war. At this time, the village's top leaders collectively come out of the village to greet them, which can unite the hearts of the village well.

The Third Hokage looked back at the crowd behind him, maybe he saw Kushina. After a moment of pondering, he called an ANBU waiting beside him, gave a few instructions, and the ANBU left.

"Kushina-sama, please come with us. Hokage-sama has asked me to take you to the front." A masked ANBU suddenly appeared.

Mizama stared at him with some curiosity. He could feel that this man still had some aura, but it was far inferior to the Orochimaru he had seen before.

Mizama and his mother followed the ANBU to the front of the village through the privileged passage belonging to the higher-ups.Then he saw the third-generation Sarutobi Hiruzen whom he had met before, and the rest of the people were unknown to Mizuma.

"Lord Naruto"

"Hey, Kushina, did you bring Minama with you today? Mizurama, you can see your father soon. Your father is an outstanding ninja who inherited the will of fire."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was obviously in a good mood today, with a smile on his face and a pipe in his mouth as he looked at Kushina and Mizama with relief.

"What is the Will of Fire?" Minazama asked doubtfully.

"The will of fire is a spirit inherited from the first generation of adults. Where the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout.

Young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation should trust and protect them.The sacrifice of the older generation is not meaningless, but will inspire the young to become the pillars of the future.

Just like your father fought on the battlefield to protect new leaves like you.It is because your father inherited the will of fire that he protects the village, his companions, and peace.

I think you will definitely become a ninja like your father Minato in the future, and maybe even become Hokage."

"Then why does war exist? Don't ninjas protect their important people? Won't killing each other like this create new hatred, and hatred will eventually grow into a new war." Mizama murmured after hearing this and thinking for a while. .

Although it was whispered, the Third Hokage still heard it clearly and was very surprised. He had never thought that such a young child could think like this.

"Then since father has the will of fire, can he also become Hokage?" Minato continued.

"Mizama, don't talk nonsense. Not everyone can become Hokage. Only when everyone approves can you become Hokage." Kushina quickly scolded slightly, and at the same time looked at the Third Hokage with some embarrassment.

"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry, it's all Mizama's nonsense, don't worry about it," Kushina said a little eagerly.

"Ah, it's okay, don't be nervous, Kushina, Minato is your husband, you have to have confidence in him," the third generation still said with a smile.

While talking, an ANBU ninja came to the Third Hokage from the front and told the Third Hokage that the large force would be arriving soon.

Upon hearing this, Sandai ordered the ninjas on the side to start maintaining order and prohibiting loud noises, and then waited with everyone.

Soon, a large group of people dressed as ninjas appeared in front of them, walking towards Konoha in the sunshine.

Minato, who was walking in front, looked as handsome as a little sun under the sunlight.

The person on the other side obviously picked up the pace and soon arrived near the gate of Konoha.At the signal from Minato raising his hand, the people on the other side stopped, then spontaneously divided into two waves, making way for the middle of the road.

Then some people came from the middle carrying a stretcher with a solemn expression.After arriving at the village, ninjas from the village immediately came to greet him, took the stretcher, and walked towards the village from the central passage.

At this time, the Third Hokage spoke, "Everyone, please let us first pray and observe a moment of silence for these heroes who have protected the village."

The crowd was silent, and everyone bowed their heads solemnly in silence.

After all the deceased had passed, the ninjas from outside the village came here. Gradually there were some cheers in the crowd, most of them shouting "Welcome home" and the like.

Minato walked quickly to the third generation and saluted. After a brief handover, he immediately came to Minama and Kushina.Looking at Minazama, whom he hadn't seen for three months, he picked him up and said with a smile, "Kushina, Minajama, I'm back."

"Father, welcome home"

"Minato, welcome home"

Kushina and Minama said happily.
