Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

In the Tsuchikage's office.

Sitting at the square table was a little old man with white hair and beard. He was so short that it seemed extremely difficult for him to put his hands on the table.

The third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village, Ōnoki, also known as the 'two scales'!

‘Bangdang——’

"Teacher! Guess who I brought..."

The door was thrown open with a bang, and a chubby boy rushed in, dancing with his hands and feet waving.

"Red-earth!--"

Two furrows appeared between Onoki's brows.

There is no need to look up, you can recognize the identity of the person just by the voice.

This is the disciple I accepted a few years ago.

It was because of his aptitude for ninjutsu that he showed since he was young that he was able to learn low-level ninjutsu almost in one glance.

This is why he ignored his young age and made an exception to accept him as his disciple.

However, I have always been troubled by the other party's nonsense.

immature!

"Didn't I say that you are not allowed to do that while I am working..."

As soon as I looked up, I saw the figure standing behind the boy.

An old man with a red beard and purple clothes!

Old purple!

besides......

Oonoki glanced at the boy behind him intentionally or unintentionally, and hummed calmly:

"Lao Zi, you actually knew to come back?

"If more time passes, I'm afraid I'll have to classify you as a traitorous ninja in Iwagakure!"

“You won’t do that.

"I am a hero of the village. Doing this will only cause resistance from everyone and damage your prestige..."

Lao Zi spoke slowly and sat aside.

There was a middle-aged man sitting next to me.

"Ahem, Uncle Zi, long time no see, I hope you are well..."

"Huang Tu, sometimes you have to persuade your father.

"You've been the Tsuchikage for so long, it's not good to be startled all the time, or else you might get hurt more than just your waist!"

Lao Zi said in a muffled voice.

The implication is self-evident.

Kakashi was stunned.

Old Uncle Zi...

This person has a very poisonous mouth!

The fat middle-aged man smiled awkwardly but didn't say anything.

I am no stranger to the verbal battles between these two. I have long been accustomed to any harsh words!

But after all, we are still a family, right?

Oonoki gave him a cold look.

Too lazy to care about you!

He turned back and looked at the boy in front of him.

"Akagi, how is your learning of the Rock Fist technique going?"

"Uh, well..."

The young man was startled.

Make two seals with your hands.

Then a layer of hard stone quickly covered the right hand.

"Not bad!"

A voice of praise came from the side, it was Lao Zi who was sitting next to him.

Chitu scratched his head and chuckled twice, with a look of complacency in his eyes.

"Humph! You can't even learn a simple rock fist technique with enough clumsiness!

"You are punished to go back to seclusion. You are not allowed to go out until you have mastered the art of Gangli style!"

"what....."

Hearing this, Chitu's face suddenly turned bitter.

"Gōri-style technique... it's too early to learn it at this age."

Lao Zi said in a deep voice.

The Gouri-style technique that can construct a 'stone man' to assist in combat is one of the ninjutsu developed by the Second Tsuchikage Mu.

The latter can be said to have mastered this ninjutsu to perfection!

However, to master this ninjutsu, extremely high requirements are placed on chakra output and precision.

For a five-year-old child, it was obviously too difficult...

"I still have confidence in my disciples! Young people must not waste their talents! Otherwise, they will regret it when they are old!

"Chitu, you won't let your master down, right?"

Ohnoki said this earnestly.

no way!

Just wanted to show off...

The lines were snatched away by that guy!

After hearing what Oonoki said, Lao Zi frowned but said nothing.

After all, he is someone else's disciple now, and I really can't control him.

"I......

"Ahem, it just so happens that I have always been interested in this technique!"

Sensing the threatening look in his master's eyes, Chi Tu glanced secretly to the side, and then very tactfully agreed.

"I'll go back right now and learn!"

With that said, he disappeared in a flash.

He even closed the door...

Kakashi looked in surprise at the fat boy who was sliding past him with his hips twisted.

This kid.

Quite sensible!

"The messenger from Konoha..."

Kakashi turned around and saw a pair of cloudy and strange eyes.

It was like there was a flame hidden in it, even though it flickered like a candle in the wind, it was always hot and bright.

Even Minato-sensei does not have this kind of eyes, and neither does Rasa, who is also a 'Kage'. It has only been seen in the Third Hokage.

It is the clarity and competence that only comes after seeing thousands of things!

Majestic and oppressive...

No wonder.

Uncle Zi would specifically say this to support himself.

It’s not that it’s unnecessary!

The look in front of me was exactly the same as Orochimaru's murderous intent. Compared to him, the Third Generation was much calmer...

At the same time Kakashi turned around, Ōnoki was also looking at the young man from Konoha.

He has silver hair and wears a mask. At his age, he is qualified to be an envoy to other countries.

There seems to be only one person like this in Konoha.

The forehead protector covers...

Should it be the Sharingan?

"It's White Fang's son, isn't it?"

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then replied: "That's right..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Kakashi was keenly aware of the distance between them.

It seems like a conversation from a different era.

"Sarutobi sent you, didn't he?"

"Yes......"

Kakashi took out the letter from his pocket.

"However, this is the last will of my master, so please have your review, Master Tsuchikage."

Watergate?

There was a strange look in Oonoki's eyes.

Although Iwagakure is geographically remote, it has always actively participated in foreign exchanges and maintained close contacts with other countries.

It is naturally not a place where information is blocked.

The news of Konoha being attacked by the Nine-Tails spread even to faraway Kumogakure, Sand Village, and Iwagakure was no exception.

The death of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was the main reason why the Iwagakure was ready to take action.

After taking the letter from Kakashi, Ohnoki's eyes showed a little more interest.

I suffered a great loss at the hands of Feng Shuimen at that time!

In the end, Iwagakure signed a ceasefire agreement with Konoha.

Of course, Kakashi Hatake, who became famous in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge and cut off his own reinforcements and supplies, also had a share...

It really is a case of 'enemies meeting on a narrow road'!

Watch as Ōnoki lowers his head to examine the letter in his hand.

Kakashi felt a special kind of uneasiness in his heart.

That's called 'negotiation'.

It all depends on whether the conditions offered by Minato-sensei are to the other party's liking!

This is a step that will determine the future of the relationship between the two countries...

If they accept it with pleasure, although the third generation will feel a little painful, everyone will be happy overall.

At least that's what Minato-sensei wanted.

But if we part on bad terms...

This may trigger a war and may even bring even heavier losses to Konoha!
