Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Half a month after the end of the Second Ninja World War, Konoha Village held a grand jonin meeting for all the jonin!

The content of the meeting was mainly to commend those who had outstanding performance and made military achievements on the battlefield!

Except for those who are still stationed in the Land of Whirlpools and have not returned, almost all other jonin have participated!

This was the first time that Dihuangwan attended a jonin meeting with such a large number of people, and the entire conference room was packed!

A group of Konoha's high-ranking officials and the ninja clan leaders sat in the front seats, while Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Dihuangmaru and others were in the second row!

At the beginning of the meeting, everyone present stood up and observed a minute of silence for all the heroes of Konoha who died heroically in World War II!

Afterwards, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a speech, "Everyone, thanks to your heroic fight, Konoha Village has won the Second Ninja World War! I declare that Konoha is still the strongest ninja village in the ninja world!"

"During the battle, many outstanding ninjas emerged, and they made outstanding contributions to the victory of the war! Because of their existence, we reduced a lot of casualties! Because of their existence, we saved a lot of resources! Because of their existence, we were able to win quickly!"

"Next, consultant Utane Koharu will announce the honorees for this conference!"

After that, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to Utane Koharu and then sat down! Utane Koharu stood up, holding the list in hand, and announced it!

"Hatake Sakumo, as the commander of the Western Front and the Northeast Front, led his troops to defeat Sand Village and Kumogakure, killing countless enemies. He was awarded the title of Konoha Hero!"

Everyone in the audience applauded, and Hatake Sakumo also bowed deeply to everyone!

"Shimura Danzo, a member of the Root under his command, went deep behind enemy lines to obtain intelligence about the enemy. He provided important intelligence many times, allowing Konoha to respond in advance, reducing many casualties and losses. He is awarded the title of Konoha Hero!"

"Orochimaru was first active in the battlefield of the Land of Rain, fighting against Hanzo, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village. He later became the commander of the northern battlefield and led the northern troops to finally defeat the Hidden Iwagakure, finalizing the outcome of World War II and awarding him the title of Hero of Konoha!"

"Jiraiya, you led the troops in the Rain Country battlefield and the Northern Front battlefield, and you have made outstanding achievements, killing countless enemies. You are awarded the title of Hero of Konoha!"

"Tsunade, who led the charge in the Rain Country battlefield, cracked the Sand Village toxins one after another on the western front! Treated the seriously injured! Seal the One-Tail! The Konoha Medical Ninja Team under her command treated many companions on various fronts and saved their lives! She is awarded the title of Konoha Hero!"

"Dihuangwan, the greatest hero of Konoha in World War II! He tied with Hanzo of the Salamander in the Rain Country battlefield, killed Ebizo on the Western Front, sealed the One-Tail, defeated Chiyo, forced back the Third Kazekage, and killed the great elders of the Kaguya clan and the Mizunotsuki clan on the Eastern Front, as well as the holders of the two of the Seven Ninja Swords, the Long Sword Sewing Needle and the Explosive Sword Feimo, and killed countless ordinary ninjas! At the same time, his Flying Thunder God Technique greatly reduced the cost of transporting supplies and improved efficiency! Award him the title of Hero of Konoha! At the same time, award him half of the Hokage sleeve arm!"

As soon as the words fell, warm applause rang out in the arena! Dihuang Wan's record was too dazzling, and everything was well-deserved for him!

Dihuangwan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the half of the Hokage sleeve that originally belonged to Hatake Sakumo would fall on him!

"Damn, they're putting me on the fire! I've said it so many times, I'm not interested in the position of Hokage!" Dihuangwan said in his heart.

The half-cut Hokage sleeve means that Dihuangwan will be the strongest contender for the next Hokage!

In the conference room, the applause was so loud that Dihuang Wan didn't want to accept it, so he could only stand up and bow to everyone!

Dihuangwan observed everyone, especially the changes in expressions of the senior executives. Many people's faces looked a little unnatural, even Orochimaru!

He sighed in his heart, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, you played this trick really well! Peace has just arrived, and you've already started scheming! It's really like putting away the bow after the bird is dead and throwing away the rabbit after the rabbit is dead!"

Dihuang Wan has already started thinking about how to deal with the upcoming sinister plot!

"Everyone says that Shimura Danzo is your dark side, but now it seems... ha!" Dihuangwan sneered in his heart.

"Strength, I have to improve my strength! In the future, there will not only be darkness in Konoha, but also darkness from Uchiha Madara!" Dihuangwan continued to think.

It took a full three hours before the commendation meeting ended!

After the meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen called Chikumaru over and the two went to the Hokage's office.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed Dihuangmaru the half of the Hokage sleeve. Dihuangmaru took the sleeve and said, "Hokage-sama, although I have no intention of competing for the position of Hokage, since the village has granted me this half of the Hokage sleeve, I will not let the village down. I will frame this half of the Hokage sleeve and hang it at home to remind myself all the time! Fight for Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised at Dihuangmaru's approach to the sleeve arm, but he didn't say much. He just asked, "Dihuangmaru, with your current strength and status, do you want to take a position in Konoha?"

"Hokage-sama, I have accepted Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki as my disciples. They are both good talents! They will graduate next year, and I will serve as their guiding jonin by then. I will not take on any other position. I want to train them with all my strength!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and then Dihuangmaru left the Hokage's office!

For the Naruto series, Dihuangwan, who does not hold any position, is the best!

Outside the Hokage Building, Kurama Heiji, Kurama Hiyun, and Inuzuka Yoru were waiting for Dihuangmaru. Now, all the members of the original Team 11 are Jonin and have participated in this commendation meeting!

"Hey! Dihuangwan, here!" Seeing Dihuangwan coming out, Inuzuka Ye waved his hand.

After many years, Class 11 finally gathered again. The four did not gather at the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant as they did before.

"Dihuangwan, let's go on a picnic! I haven't eaten your grilled fish in years, and my stomach cramps just thinking about it!" Inuzuka Ye suggested.

Kurama Heiji also nodded in agreement.

Kurama Feiyun looked at Dihuangwan, who immediately understood, "Okay, now that our class 11 is reunited, a picnic is very appropriate!"

Afterwards, Kurama Heiji went to the izakaya to buy wine, Inuzuka Yoru and Ranmaru caught fish, Kurama Feiyun looked for firewood, and Dihuangmaru went to Konoha School to pick up Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina!

In the back mountain of Konoha, Dihuang Wan was already grilling fish. The enticing aroma wafted in the air. Except for Kurama Feiyun who ate it frequently and had a resistance to it, the others, including Kurama Heiji, couldn't stop swallowing their saliva!

The two little ones, Minato and Kushina, were drooling at the sight. Kushina pounced directly on Dihuangwan, waiting to be the first one to eat!

After a while, everyone enjoyed the delicious grilled fish!

"Dihuang Wan, your grilled fish is still so amazing! I love the taste!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"If Feiyun marries you, I won't have to worry about her eating problems!"

Kurama Feiyun smiled sweetly!

Dihuangwan looked at Kurama Feiyun with deep love in his eyes. He felt that as he grew older, Kurama Feiyun became more quiet and gentle!

"Teacher, the grilled fish you cook is so delicious. I want to eat it every day!" Kushina has already eaten several fish and still doesn't stop!

"Yes, teacher, this is the most delicious food I have ever eaten. In my mind, it is better than Ichiraku Ramen!" said Minato Namikaze.

Well, this kid is really good at talking. Dihuang Wan was so happy when he heard it! "Minato, do you want to learn? I'll teach you!"

"Want to learn!"

"Okay, then I will teach you my secret skill of grilling fish! From now on, when I take you on missions, the cooking will be left to you!"

Kushina nodded frantically in agreement!
