Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Yuyin Village.

This was originally an ordinary village.

However, it has an unusually tragic past.

During the Second Ninja World War, it became the main battlefield of the war between the great powers.

In a pavilion that is enclosed on all sides.

The ground was filled with corpses mixed with rain and blood...

Quiet and eerie!

"You... who are you?!"

"Don't you remember my face, Hanzo?"

The yellow-haired man in a red cloud and black robe said this, looking calmly at the man in front of him.

——A middle-aged man half lying in the corner, wearing a bloated mask, but shrinking back trembling uncontrollably.

"You are Yahiko from the Akatsuki organization...

"No, you should be dead. Who on earth is that person?!"

Hanzo's eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.

"Dead? No..."

Yahiko walked forward slowly, his pair of grey pupils emitting a terrifying aura.

......

"But we also hope that in the future we can lead the world towards peace like Hanzo did."

Ignore the drizzling rain.

The yellow-haired boy with the same face, his expression was not calm.

Instead, it is filled with a fiery aura...

The scene changes.

A row of neatly arranged ninjas wearing Amegakure forehead protectors, all dressed in black robes, stood behind the young man with solemn expressions.

“Hanzo is our role model!

"He has been fighting to bring peace to the world. One day, Akatsuki will become an organization as famous as Hanzo!"

On a distant altar.

The young man with dreams finally formed an alliance with his former idol as an ally.

The two hands, with obvious age difference, clasped together.

Memories of the past came flooding back...

On the cliff that was so high that it was despairing, the rain fell like a waterfall.

——"Yahiko!

"I want you, the leader, to be buried here. If you dare to resist, this woman will die!"

——"Kill me, Nagato!"

--"stop!"

——"Yahiko, I..."

'laugh--'

......

"The leader of Akatsuki will always be you, Yahiko."

In the quiet dark room, the dull sound echoed.

There were only two figures dressed in red clouds and black robes, and a skinny red-haired man sitting on a strange machine.

......

"You've been so cowardly.

"You only cared about saving your own life, and now you are nothing but a waste."

Yahiko said calmly, and five figures suddenly appeared beside him.

The same red clouds and black robes, the same attire, the same eyes!

"I respected you so much, Hanzo."

"Wait, what are you...going to do!?"

"And you still haven't figured out why you lost to me."

'Yahiko' slowly raised his hand and pointed at the man under the eaves.

"Disappear, Hanzo!"

......

-----------------

"Has it been solved? You're really quick!"

Twisted arcs passed through the void, and then a figure emerged.

"What's the matter with you coming here this time?"

Yahiko turned back coldly.

Before him was a figure also dressed in red clouds and black robes.

But above the neck is not the face.

It was a vortex-shaped mask with only the right eye hole showing...

"The organization needs manpower to capture the tailed beasts. It's not easy for us to do it alone."

"I will find the right person as soon as possible."

"Don't bother..."

'stare--'

The masked man turned his wrist, and a ring fell into his palm.

"This 'Void' ring has found the right person."

"where?"

"It's near here..."

The masked man fired casually.

Seeing the ring fall into the other person's arms, he continued: "Xiaonan can take you to find him."

As if floating in the air, the masked man's figure became illusory and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Is a ninja from Konoha..."

-----------------

Among the five major countries.

The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth are almost adjacent to each other.

However, it is still an extremely long distance from Sand Village to Iwagakure.

And the route along the way will inevitably need to pass through at least a small country.

Between the two routes of Bird Country and Rain Country, Kakashi chose the former.

It's not just the environment. It rains all year round in the Hidden Rain Village, making it unsuitable for traveling.

More because this is an extremely xenophobic country...

After experiencing the disaster of World War II, the Hidden Rain Village has been closed, relying only on commissions from other countries to obtain survival resources.

The word "mysterious" is not enough to describe it. It seems more like a deliberate concealment of unknown dangers...

Even in today's ninja world, very little is known about it!

In contrast.

The Bird Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Rain Kingdom, is at the other extreme.

Bright and enthusiastic.

"I wonder what's happening with Konoha..."

Looking at the azure blue lake sparkling in the sun, the silver-haired boy was lost in thought for a moment.

After traveling for this period of time, we finally left the border of Sunagakure.

As for the journey to Iwagakure, there is only half the distance left...

The journey after that will be much easier!

"I often think of the village" is not just talk.

——Let the other party understand that you are in the same situation as the other party. This is a way to increase the persuasiveness of your words.

Although it was one of the 'rhetoric tactics' used at the time to persuade Ye Cang.

But it is indeed what I think in my heart.

Especially since I've been traveling alone for some time, similar thoughts have come more frequently.

Konoha...

The third generation who is most likely worried about the war, Uncle Ichiraku who is still running the noodle shop day after day, and Shisui, Itachi, Kai...

The blurry figures reflected in the lake seemed to be constantly changing faces.

......

Konoha.

In the not-so-spacious Hokage office, there was only an old man who was writing furiously with his head down.

"Knock knock knock—"

"What's up!"

The third generation raised his eyes quickly, glanced at it, and then returned to the mountain of official documents.

The war with Kumogakure is making him exhausted. While trying his best to negotiate a ceasefire, he also has to deal with the covetous eyes of Iwagakure...

There is no peace!

The damage and disadvantages caused by the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion are gradually becoming apparent.

Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Uchiha...

Konoha is facing internal and external troubles at this moment!

The door opened and a green figure walked in.

Akai?

The third generation concealed his surprise, stopped writing and looked.

If there is important news that needs to be delivered, the person responsible is usually the Anbu under his command.

Normally speaking, it would never be Akai.

He should be on guard at the intelligence station, how could he...

"Sama Sandaime, the informant who was in contact with Sunagakure has sent us news."

Might Guy said this, with a rare seriousness in his eyes.

News from Sunagakure?

If my guess is correct, Kakashi's first stop should be Sand Village.

"It is said that there was a riot by the One-Tailed Shukaku in Sunagakure..."

"How's Kakashi?"

The third generation's eyes darkened and he spoke.

He did not reveal the secrets of Kakashi's mission to anyone.

But only when Kai asked, he hesitated and finally told the truth...

"It is said that he is safe and has already left Sunagakure."

The third generation frowned slightly.

Minato's mission was confidential and obviously would not appear in the intelligence handed back.

The specific attitude of Fengying is still unknown.

Have you left Sunagakure?

So the next stop should be Iwagakure?

Ohnoki is not a easy guy to deal with!

"Sama! I have a request..."

"Akai."

The third generation's eyes flashed.

Looking at Akai who suddenly bowed 90 degrees, he raised his hand to interrupt.

"It just so happens that I also have a task for you."

......
