Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Kakashi Hatake of Konoha, huh?"

The old man nodded slightly and continued:

"By the way, at a time like this...

"You didn't come to Iwagakure just to see the scenery, did you?"

"Of course not."

Kakashi shook his head.

'Times like this' undoubtedly refers to the current tense relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha.

You also know it's 'this time'!

Kakashi thought to himself.

Taking action for oneself, from the perspective of Iwagakure, it is not only difficult to understand, it is simply unbelievable!

"I need to see Tsuchikage-sama as soon as possible."

"For negotiation?"

Seeing the other party blurt out, Kakashi was stunned and nodded hesitantly.

"You could say..."

What Minato-sensei had explained was, in theory, a 'fair' transaction.

Too good a deal!

But from the perspective of the five major countries, it can probably be simply understood as a good thing like "pie in the sky".

It is no exaggeration to say that it was a negotiation with great sincerity!

"Then I will take you to Iwagakure, what do you think?"

ha?

Kakashi was sorting out his thoughts when he heard the words and suddenly looked up at the other person.

This is too...

Are you diligent?

He rescued me and showed concern for my injuries, and now he is even going to "escort" me personally?

The other person's thoughts are really hard to figure out.

But Kakashi couldn't find any fault with these eyes!

"I appreciate your kindness, Senior, but I don't understand...why do you do this?"

"It's nothing."

The old man waved his hand and tapped the rock sign on his forehead with his fingers, making two "tap" sounds.

"I am just a wandering monk, but as you can see, I am also a ninja from Iwagakure.

"It's just that when you mentioned Iwagakure, I felt a little homesick!"

The old man smiled.

It was obviously you who mentioned 'Iwagakure'!

Kakashi wanted to say that.

But after listening to what the other party said...

homesick.

That's a lame excuse.

Kakashi felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when hearing this at this moment.

"Besides, with Ohnoki's personality, he would probably be eager for you to come negotiate at this time! I can give you a ride..."

After saying that, the old man walked slowly into the wooden house, leaving only a faint voice.

"Time waits for no one. Take a good rest tonight. We will set off tomorrow morning."

Kakashi remembered something crucial and looked up at the old man.

"By the way, what should I call you, Senior?"

"Just call me Lao Zi."

......

In the swaying carriage.

Sitting in the front seat was an elderly man with a leisurely look, while sitting in the open back seat was a silver-haired young man with his face half covered.

"Uncle Zi, what kind of person is Tsuchikage-sama?"

Perhaps because he was busy traveling early in the morning, he didn't get any extra information from the other party after a night.

But Kakashi was still upset about the casual remark!

"Given Ohnoki's temper, he would probably be eager for you to come negotiate right now!"

What kind of person is Tsuchikage Ōnoki?

I don't understand this myself.

But it is necessary to understand.

This journey to Iwagakure is not an uncertain one.

Compared to the Sand Village, which is an ally of Konoha.

Given the current situation, we naturally have to prepare more carefully when facing the tense relationship with Iwagakure.
