Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Well, Konoha's tea and snacks are really unique!"

Sitting on a simple and plain wooden table and chair, the girl crossed her legs, holding a heavy porcelain bowl in her hands with a relaxed look on her face.

There was hot white steam rising from the surface of the tea, which spread out with a light puff, rushing into the tip of the nose with a refreshing scent.

Konoha Tea Street.

It is famous for its exquisite refreshments.

There is naturally a reason behind it.

Konoha's favorable natural environment is a unique advantage that no other country possesses, so it is only natural that it has achieved its current development.

Not surprising at all.

Of course, if we talk about consumption, it is second only to the luxury of hot springs...

But there is a reason why it is expensive.

The fragrant tea tastes slightly astringent, but without any extra fragrance or unpleasant sourness or bitterness. It just has a clear and sweet taste that flows between the lips and teeth, which is surprisingly memorable.

Really don't poke!

Ye Cang raised the corners of his lips and sipped his tea slowly.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the bed. The room was empty and there was no one in sight.

She was aware of Kakashi's urgent matters, so this destination was not difficult to guess.

If it had happened half a month ago, I would have been scared to say the least.

But now, not to mention that we are in Konoha Village, with the other party's recovered skills, there is no need to worry at all.

If I just want to stay in the house quietly and quietly...

How can it be?

Stroking the patterns on the rim of the cup with his fingers, Ye Cang raised his eyebrows slightly, with an interested look in his eyes.

Last time I was really short of money, and the "luxury" consumption here was totally out of my consideration.

Not to mention that he couldn't resist the temptation of the 'Lujiao Hot Spring', which made his already poor life even worse.

After that, I avoided this road as if it were a plague, not even daring to look at it...

But things are different now.

Ladies, we have money!

Taking advantage of the 'special care' that Grandma Chiyo has received before leaving, I should at least indulge myself this time, right?

Ye Cang smiled and drank the tea in the cup.

Just as I was about to get up, a figure suddenly walked through the aisle beside me and went straight to the front desk.

With her waist-length curly hair, she looks tall and outstanding.

He was wearing a standard light green vest and was obviously a Chunin from Konoha.

I have some impression of this figure.

"Well, two bottles of soju."

"okay."

A faint voice floated from the front.

Not long after, the girl came over carrying two white porcelain wine jugs and slowly passed by.

Ye Cang glanced sideways at the back and rubbed his chin between his fingers.

Is that a big change?

With an idea in mind, he dropped a few silver coins on the table, stood up and walked out.

On the busy street, Ye Cang followed far behind, hiding his view from the pedestrians, staring intently without even taking his eyes off the person.

Mountain Flower Shop...

Ye Cang murmured softly.

A shop that is almost surrounded by flowers except for the plaque on the door.

I saw the figure chatting and laughing among them, and after a while he came out holding a few bouquets of flowers.

Following the direction the other party was heading, Ye Cang had some vague guesses in his mind.

This road is not unfamiliar, because Kakashi has often been here...

Konoha Ninja Cemetery.

Stopping in front of the gate, Ye Cang did not move forward as he had done in the past due to taboos.

He just glanced at the figure from a distance and quickly looked away.

There are not many people in this village that I know well, and at most I have only met them by sight.

But in my lifetime, the word "Konoha" seems to have a unique aura, and it can be called a synonym for "utopia", so much so that I forget that, after all, this is just an ordinary village...

Those who sacrificed for it were not only famous heroes and great men, but more often people who had only met once or even never met and whose names they could not remember.

In this respect, it is no different from any other village.

Sunset Red...

Leaning against the wooden wall, Ye Cang lowered his eyes and stared at the ground in a daze.

Memory pulls thoughts farther and farther away, stopping at someone's sleeping face on his shoulder.

The child who seemed to need a little wine to fall asleep at night had a pretty face and it was unexpected that he would be the 'culprit' who started the drinking trend.

Memories added fuel to my mind, making the anger in my heart even heavier.

The sound of subtle footsteps gradually approached.

Ye Cang was shocked.

I turned my head subconsciously, and a pale face appeared before my eyes.

There was a hint of confusion in his reddish-brown pupils.

"Uh...Ah! Miss Red!"

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

"Sir, you mean..."

"Kakashi, you should be able to understand the situation in the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "The Kirigakure is slightly closed off in the sea, while the Sand Village is maintaining a friendly alliance with our Konoha. The real trouble lies with the Iwagakure and Kumogakure."

Among the five major countries, the strength of these two cannot be underestimated.

Kakashi nodded slightly.

It used to be like this...

Konoha suffered the Nine-Tails Rebellion just after the Third War, and its combat power fell to the lowest point since the founding of the village.

As an enemy, how could Yunyin be merciful?

Seizing the opportunity to wage war would be a wise move for any leader.

That's what war is.

Yunyin is also brave enough.

"The news of the peace treaty spread like wildfire. I think someone must have been spreading the news behind the scenes."

Kakashi's heart moved.

Is it the Yunyin side?

"Whether it's war or peace, dragging it out will only be more disadvantageous for them. It will also be a pressure for Yunyin. I'm afraid that releasing the news of peace talks is also intended to instigate Yanyin to take action.

"This situation is quite complicated. I can only think about dealing with Kumogakure as soon as possible so that I can have enough energy to deal with the Iwagakure who are eyeing me covetously..."

"So, Mr. Hizashi's sacrifice is inevitable." Kakashi suddenly interrupted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then gave a helpless smile.

"You already know?"

"We just happened to meet before returning to the village."

"That's it..."

I have to say, what a coincidence!

"I'm glad you understand. In order to guard against the possible attack from Iwagakure, we can only choose to give in when it comes to negotiating peace with Kumogakure."

Kakashi nodded slightly.

With the current Konoha, it is absolutely impossible to resist Kumogakure and Iwagakure at the same time.

Choosing to give in for the sake of the overall situation and thus achieving a ceasefire is not a cowardly choice.

A moment of recklessness will only lead to greater losses for the village.

The deep wrinkles between his brows smoothed out, and the third generation said with a smile:

“But things are different now.”

There was a hint of ease in his words as he raised his hand and picked up the scroll on the table.

This scroll is quite heavy!

"Two Libras are not people who can break their promises easily."

On the wrinkled cheeks, the two eyes are like the clear spring flowing out of a dry well, and the vitality is like the tender buds sprouting from the dead branches.

"Kakashi, I need to give you a new mission."

There was a rare stern look in his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Bring back the head of the branch family, Hyuga Hizashi, who went to Kumogakure as the head of the Hyuga clan!"
