Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Seeing him holding the letter, his brows were furrowed, and finally he simply stood up and paced back and forth.

Kakashi didn't say anything to interrupt, but just found it funny to himself.

It is indeed difficult to give a reply in person!

Previously, the three 'shadows' of Sand Village, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure all chose extremely safe ways to handle this letter.

Instead of giving a definite answer on the spot, he raised corresponding challenges. Perhaps this was also a way to buy time and think things over.

After all, "commitment" also means constraints, especially when these constraints are not limited to individuals.

It is only natural to consider it carefully.

Mifune walked slowly.

With a sigh, he placed the envelope on the table.

The only desk in the room was placed close to the wall. On the wall hung a set of heavy laminated armor, and below it was a sheathed long sword.

The long sword was dull and plain, so plain that Kakashi didn't even notice it for a moment.

——The unsheathed long sword on display should have been very conspicuous.

This should be the other party's fighting attire as a samurai...

Kakashi understood.

"The end of a man is not death, that man once said to me."

Mifune suddenly spoke.

“To this day, I can barely comprehend the meaning of it.”

The end of a person is not death...

Kakashi's expression changed, and he chewed on this sentence silently.

He had to understand.

These words, which would be confusing at any other time, are obviously meaningful at this moment.

As for that person...

"I also firmly believe that if a person can be like this famous sword Kurosawa, it will be passed down forever."

Mifune spoke in a low voice, his fingertips brushing across the thin blade.

The dim candlelight flickered gently, sweeping across the blade inch by inch.

The famous sword Kurosawa...

Kakashi felt a little surprised.

He had thought about the countless famous swords in the world, all of which had exquisite craftsmanship and a dazzling past, but he could not imagine that they were so simple and unpretentious.

Facing the reflected light, he noticed a scrutinizing gaze on the blade.

"Since the Warriors' Tournament was first held, the crown has never been taken away by an outsider.

"Hatake Kakashi, the champions of every tournament have all been looking forward to this moment of finally meeting me. Do you know why?"

Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly.

This question was completely incomprehensible, as he had no idea of ​​the customs of the Iron Kingdom.

But it doesn't stop me from being wary!

Then I saw the weathered palm slowly tilted over the handle of the knife...

......

"Is this the 'fun place' you mentioned?"

Several conversations were heard in the dense fog.

"Hmm? Or else?"

Ye Cang hummed nonchalantly, leaning back to one side and slowly lowering his body, letting the water reach his neck, almost completely submerging himself in the bathtub.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head and let out a long breath.

Comfortable!

In a place like this where snow falls all year round, the importance of the bathing pool is highlighted!

The clear water surface was rippling, with a snowy shadow swaying in it and a slender body stretching freely.

Duoyou couldn't bear to look at it any longer, and regardless of the strange noises around him, he just lay down on his back, following suit.

The bottom of the pool is approximately spherical, or elliptical. In any case, the stone is smooth and round, so people can lie on their backs without feeling any discomfort.

Ye Cang didn't care about Tayuya's resentment, and was secretly glad that he asked for the flute when they parted.

Don't be afraid that she won't listen!

Even with the white jade flute in her hand, this girl even behaved much better!

"By the way, Tayuya, you're a girl, so you should be careful with your words..."

Ye Cang suddenly raised his eyes to look at the little girl beside him. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, the tone of his words became much softer.

In fact, she thought that this girl was quite pretty.

After untying the headscarf and letting her red hair fall down, she looked pretty and charming. Considering her age, she really had the potential to become a great beauty.

Of course, that stinky mouth has potential too!

"Compared to this, you should consider how to solve the money problem."

Ye Cang touched his nose awkwardly and glared at her fiercely.

What a disappointment!

Although this is my own problem...

I placed the bet on a whim and went all in, but I forgot to leave some money in reserve.

I left the samurai conference halfway and found out I didn't have a penny when I got to the bathhouse.

Fortunately, with the skills of a ninja, it was no problem to sneak into the bathhouse. I just found an empty bathhouse and climbed in!

How about turning it over later?

Although I feel bad...

The bathhouses in the Iron Kingdom are similar to those in Kumogakure, but more complete. Not only are they independent, but each bath is attached to the back of a house.

During this time, people can also rest or do something else...

In comparison, Konoha's Shikaku Hot Spring is so simple!

As he was thinking secretly in his mind, Ye Cang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He opened his eyes and looked past the steaming mist in front of him.

From the house directly opposite, there were very light and subtle footsteps...
