Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

The sun gradually sets and night slowly falls.

Just before dark, Yuina, who had completed her mission, arrived and took Shisui back to the Uchiha clan's territory, while Nawaki also said goodbye and prepared to return home to study Wood Release in detail.

Today's victory gave him full confidence.

Wood Release is possible!

And Toru Ito can only wish him to achieve research results as soon as possible.

After parting with the two men, Ito Toru strolled leisurely on the streets of Konoha Village alone.

At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, with only a few stars twinkling faintly in the sky.

There were bright lights everywhere in Konoha Village. The warm light from every house illuminated the entire village.

All kinds of laughter and joy filled this quiet night, because the end of the war and the dawn of peace made people begin to enjoy this rare happy time in their hearts.

And Toru Ito was like a passer-by who had nothing to do with this happiness, walking alone, and the light lengthened his shadow.

Until he saw a young man standing at the corner of the street.

"Hey, Ito, long time no see."

"Minato? Why are you here?"

"Well... it's a long story."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Anyway, would you like to chat sometime?"

"of course."

So the two of them each bought a drink and drank as they walked.

"The war is finally over." Namikaze Minato said this, but there was some confusion in his eyes.

He didn't understand how he felt right now. Winning was obviously a bad thing, but now that it was over, he felt a little regretful.

"It's not over yet. It should be said that the war has just begun." Although Toru Ito was not confused, he felt very annoyed.

Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

The Second Ninja World War was just a prelude, and the subsequent Third Ninja World War was the real full-scale war!

"just began?"

Namikaze Minato's expression turned serious.

He knew that the information obtained by ninjas like Ito Toru who had just returned from the front line was the most real information.

"Can you tell me, Ito?"

"Of course, but this is just my speculation."

"It's okay, I won't tell anyone."

"Of course I believe you, but... are you sure you want to know this? It might bring you unnecessary pressure."

"I'm ready to take on all the pressure, Ito."

Namikaze Minato had a smile on his face.

Just a short while ago, Kushina told him about his status as a Jinchūriki.

And let Minato Namikaze stay alone and calm down for a while, and then go find her after he has thought it over.

When he was confused and didn't know what to do, he happened to see Toru Ito walking alone.

Just like the afterglow of the sun when it sets.

Although the light was not very bright, it was just enough to illuminate Minato Namikaze.

"OK then."

So Toru Ito used the simplest words to inform Minato Namikaze of the possible outbreak of the Third Ninja World War.

“This is going to be a long war.”

"It won't just be one village that will be involved, and similarly, it will probably be more than just ninjas."

"Although our Konoha is currently in the most advantageous position, it is also the center that all forces will compete for."

"That is to say..." Namikaze Minato's eyes were lost in thought: "We must defeat all the enemies that come here, right?"

? !

Is this the pattern of the Fourth Hokage?

It’s really extraordinary!

So reliable!

Ito Toru, who had always been entrusted with tasks, suddenly felt a great sense of relief.

"Yeah, but it's hard."

He sighed: "The Sand Ninja alone has caused us a lot of damage. If the Third Kazekage hadn't happened to be missing, it's hard to imagine how long this battle would have lasted."

"Not to mention the Iwagakure, which is much stronger than the Sand Village, as well as the Mist Village and the Cloud Village..."

"no problem."

Minato Namikaze's voice was calm, but full of unquestionable power.

"As long as we all have the strength, we can definitely beat them back!"

He patted Ito Toru's shoulder with a gentle smile on his face.

"I will definitely follow you to the battlefield. Please give me your guidance, Ito."

You say that as if I'm going to war...

I came back to be the director of Konoha Hospital!

It is also possible to work part-time at the root.

Anyway, it’s impossible to go to the battlefield!

I've already been to the battlefield once, you can't let me go in a second time!

But that certainly can’t be said now.

You have to show a very regretful expression when the time comes.

Otherwise it would be embarrassing!

"Hahahaha! Don't say that. Who knows who will take care of who then."

Tetsuya Ito laughed and put his arm around Minato Namikaze's shoulders.

"But you are right. As long as we all gather our strength together, we will be able to repel these enemies!"

"Ok!"

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, and the confusion in his heart gradually disappeared.

Suddenly, he understood what he wanted.

He wants to protect this village, his loved ones and his friends.

For this...more power is needed!

"what?"

After they walked for a distance, they suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Isn't that Sakumo-sensei?"

In front of the two of them, Hatake Sakumo was walking out of the store carrying a large bag of things. When he saw the two of them, he was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Ito, Minato, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Teacher Sakumo, what are you doing..."

"Ah, my wife is about to give birth, so I need to prepare some things for the baby in advance."

Hatake Sakumo had a happy smile on his face, and it was only then that Ito Toru noticed that most of what he was carrying were baby supplies.

Is Konoha Wuwukai going to be born too?

It really feels like witnessing history...

The two exchanged some pleasantries with Hatake Sakumo, then said goodbye and left.

After figuring it out, Minato Namikaze was full of strength and went back to find Kushina.

When Toru Ito was about to go home alone, he suddenly thought of something and turned a corner to buy a box of three-color meatballs.

Sure enough, I met Hongdou in the aisle.

"Come back so late?"

Hongdou looked at him sideways, and her eyes were quickly attracted by the three-colored meatballs in Ito Toru's hand.

"You brought me this!"

She ran up and snatched it away without saying a word.

"Yeah! Delicious!"

Hongdou looked very satisfied.

In fact, this may not be that delicious, it all tastes the same.

But she particularly likes this sense of familiarity and security.

Especially during the period of confusion after the temporary end of the war.

Hongdou didn't know what the future would be like, so she just stood alone in the aisle, leaning against the railing and looking into the distance.

But now, she doesn't seem so confused anymore.
