Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

The Iron Kingdom's annual samurai tournament finally came to an end in less than half a day.

This is the shortest session so far!

With so few contestants, the battle was also incredibly fast.

Perhaps this will also be the most 'simple' Samurai Conference in the history of the Iron Country...

It is not difficult to imagine that this "record" will not be broken for a long time in the future.

Compared with previous sessions, the conference ended quickly and inevitably seemed a bit sloppy.

But the people watching the game didn’t think so!

On the contrary, for the common people in the Iron Kingdom, this is the most talked-about one.

The final winner was unquestionable, not only did he win with an unstoppable momentum, he also won the championship in a nearly crushing manner.

The most exciting thing is that the winner this time is no longer a warrior...

It was a man called 'Hatake Kakashi'.

As a 'commoner', he broke the 'halo' of the samurai's invincibility that had lasted for decades!

Of course it’s not all good…

An unprecedented "financial crisis" has quietly struck, leaving a "bloody" mark in the history books of the Iron Kingdom.

While countless people lost everything, there were some very few exceptions...

......

Kakashi didn't understand the discussions outside, nor did he care.

Instead, he followed the samurai named Okisuke into a courtyard.

Participating in the Samurai Tournament can be said to be a spur of the moment event. After all, one has to wait until the tournament is over. As for winning the championship...

Kakashi didn't care much about it.

What is in front of you is the ultimate goal of this trip!

At the end of the stone path in the courtyard is a house. The eaves are more exaggerated than those in the outer courtyard, and a lot of fallen snow has piled up on them.

"Just back off."

Before anyone was seen, a voice came from the inner room.

You can tell that the throat sound has been hidden for many years, but it is still vigorous and powerful.

"But......"

Okisuke glanced to his side hesitantly.

His eyes were fixed on the long sword at Kakashi's waist.

This knife is extraordinary.

As a warrior with both strength and experience, he could naturally see it at a glance.

Although previous winners had no practice of removing their blades when meeting the leader alone.

But those are all our own people!

Moreover, in terms of the strength shown...

"Go back."

The voice came again, but with irresistible majesty.

"clear."

Chongjie took a deep breath, bowed towards the house, and then turned and left.

The door of the room was open, as if waiting for something. A figure, an elderly man with a turban, was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch in the middle.

"Sakumo's son?"

Seeing him raise his eyes and say this, Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Senior."

Those who knew their father had seen many of them before.

No matter what, he was a powerful man with unparalleled swordsmanship in the ninja world back then, so it's not surprising.

But looking at the other person's expression, it seems to be different from Chiyo and Ohnoki before, but...

The mutual respect between the strong?

"When I was young, I fought against many strong men, including your father."

Mifune spoke slowly, raising his hands and spreading them in front of him.

Unable to tell whether this action was 'take a seat' or 'serve tea', Kakashi simply sat down.

But I still have doubts about the two of them fighting each other...

During World War II, Konoha fought against Sunagakure and Amegakure respectively, and his father, Hatake Sakumo, was on the battlefield with Sunagakure.

And Yugakure attacked Sand Village and Iron Country successively.

In a sense, when the three ninja villages were fighting, the Iron Kingdom and Konoha were barely on the same front...

But the leader of the Iron Kingdom in front of him had actually fought with his father?

Seeing his expression, Mifune sneered without explaining, and continued: "Your sword is better than your father's."

That is the knife given by Kirabi.

Kakashi subconsciously glanced at the knife on his waist and suddenly frowned.

Just talking about the knife in his hand is too superficial, and the other party's eyes are not on the knife at all...

Are you talking about the knife or the knife technique?

As for knives, White Fang's blade is no worse than this one.

When it comes to swordsmanship...

Kakashi found talking to this man exhausting.

really tired!

It seems that he didn't want to make his words clear, but instead left them ambiguous on purpose, forcing me to guess.

But every answer I guessed has contradictions of varying degrees...

Thinking will never give you the right answer.

When talking to this person, you have to rely entirely on your feelings!

"A knife can reflect a person's true heart."

Kakashi's face froze as he looked into those cloudy eyes.

It means "what you think is what I say"...

Very shameless rhetoric!

"I just heard this, it's just something I mentioned casually, don't take it seriously.

"I guess the ninjas from Konoha in the Land of Fire would not come here for no reason, but have important business to attend to, right?" Mifune said slowly.

Seeing his change of tone, Kakashi actually breathed a sigh of relief.

With the idea of ​​finishing the work as soon as possible, he handed over a piece of letter.
