Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"I heard that this time we are going to sign a peace treaty with the Iwagakure Village."

In an ordinary teahouse, several young boys and girls were holding three-color meatballs and chatting about this and that.

He wore a brand new Konoha forehead guard on his forehead, which emitted a bright light.

"You think too much about steel and iron. How much restraint can a piece of paper have?"

"Hehe, Xuanjian is right."

A young man with a shiny greasy watermelon head and wearing a creepy green tights was leaning against the wall.

Hearing this, he turned around and looked at the person who spoke.

Inside the teahouse, Genma Shiranui was holding a senbon cigarette in his mouth and looking at the three-colored meatball in his hand with lifeless eyes.

"Think about the hard work of three generations. It's already a great achievement to be able to get a piece of paper." Gang Zitie looked at the two of them and said helplessly.

"In short, the long war is finally over." A young man with long braids at the inner table shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah... then let's toast with dango!"

A cheerful and pleasant playful voice suddenly came.

The red-eyed girl with long curly hair curled her lips and raised the three-colored meatball in her hand high.

......

"Hey- Kakashi!"

"Come over and eat dumplings with me?"

Wearing a shabby green leather tight vest, Might Guy was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. He suddenly waved his hand in the distance, and his shiny watermelon head shone brightly in the sun.

Several people heard the shout and followed Might Guy's gaze to look into the distance.

It was a silver-haired young man walking slowly on the street corner with his hands in his pockets.

The slanted Konoha forehead guard covered the left eye on the mask, revealing only one lifeless dead fish eye on the entire face. The eyes were dull and looked quite lonely.

Kakashi turned his head and glanced towards the teahouse, then silently looked away and walked to the side, leaving only a lonely back to everyone.

A few gusts of wind blew the fallen leaves away.

"Uh...that guy has been really cold lately..." Might Guy said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Are you worried about something?"

"We can't help it. Kakashi is a genius. Unlike us, he has no mood to fool around without any scruples."

Gang Zitie spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.

As a student of the same Ninja Academy, I have long been accustomed to Kakashi's extraordinary excellence and eccentric personality.

But......

Can this kind of loneliness really be simply described as "genius"?

Kurenai Yuhi frowned slightly as she looked at the figure and murmured, "It must be because of Obito and Rin."

During the Third Shinobi World War, two heroes with the Sharingan were born in the battle of Kannabi Bridge with Iwagakure.

The lonely figure walking away in front of me was one of them. He was a jonin from Konoha, a hero known in other countries as 'Sharingan Kakashi'.

The name of another hero, Uchiha Obito, who was Kakashi's companion, was also engraved forever on the Konoha Memorial Monument.

During the battle with Kirigakure not long after, another member of Kakashi's team, Rin Nohara, died at the hands of Kakashi.

"It definitely left a big shadow..."

Might Guy looked at the gradually receding figure with a thoughtful expression.

Konoha high-level conference room.

This is just an ordinary wooden house, but the advantage is that the environment is quiet and comfortable, and most of the meetings are discussed and decided here.

There are two sets of photos hanging high on the wall of the main seat. They are of the first Hokage of Konoha Village, Hashirama Senju, and the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

As the founders of the Hidden Leaf Village in its early days, these two names are well-known even in the ninja world.

There were four figures sitting on both sides of the square table.

The current period is the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen, a subordinate of the previous Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and the current Third Hokage.

His colleagues, Mitokado En, Utane Koharu and Shimura Danzo, served as high-level elder advisors to assist Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Anyway, this can be considered a relief."

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu looked at the figure sitting on the main seat and spoke one after another.

After a long war, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally had a smile on his face. He looked at the two of them and nodded slightly, then looked at the scroll on the table.

That was a treaty of reconciliation with Iwagakure...

"Are you satisfied with just such a treaty?"

A slightly dull sound was heard, and Danzo Shimura folded his arms across his chest and snorted coldly.

"They actually acknowledged the actions of the Iwagakure Village and gave up the right to demand compensation... Haha, it's like they've lost a battle."

He glanced at the two old men sitting opposite him, and then stared intently at the figure on the main seat.

"Ahem, what do you think, Hiruzen?" Mito Kado En spoke with a little embarrassment, feeling helpless in his heart.

Danzo has always been too radical in his actions, never considering the consequences. He doesn't even care about the name of the Fire Nation. Even his colleagues feel pressured by him.

As for the person who has the ability to control the man in front of him, it is probably only the Hokage appointed by the Second Hokage, the current Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Continuing the war would be fatal to Konoha, which is now exhausted. We have already lost too many companions, and we will have to be wary of the covetous eyes of other ninja villages. Continuing will not benefit us. This is a concession made for the sake of consensus... I believe that the two great masters, Ohnoki, will have the same idea as me on this point."

A weathered, firm and powerful voice came from afar.

The most deadly thing about a war launched for a happy life is that its cost is far beyond one's ability to bear. It is always unwise to lose sight of the main goal and pursue the trivial.

Only by experiencing war can one know its pain and appreciate the difficulty of peace.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu looked at each other and nodded.

This is a very reasonable choice. Everything is a concession made to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. I think Danzo should be able to...

'boom--'

Just then a sudden noise was heard.

Danzo slammed the table and shouted, "Many allies have sacrificed their lives in this war. Isn't this equivalent to letting them die in vain?"

After saying this, he stared at the two old men in front of him with a warning look, and then glanced at Sarutobi from the side.

"The responsibility lies with me, the Hokage..." Sarutobi Hiruzen said while looking directly at Danzo.

"So how are you going to take responsibility?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and looked at Danzo, the purpose of this question was obvious.

He had known Danzo's ambitions for a long time and expected that the other party would take advantage of the opportunity to attack him, but he did not expect that he would not conceal it at all.

Reconciliation with Iwagakure is the current trend. As high-level advisors of Konoha, they naturally know the importance of this move. Otherwise, continuing to fight will only waste energy and put Konoha, which is in a favorable environment, into a more dangerous situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Danzo's words were not meant to really continue the war, but were meant to draw out the already irreparable losses, so as to pin the blame on him and serve as a means of impeachment...

But the fact is that once the battle between the two major ninja villages breaks out, the casualties and losses will no longer be something that he, as the Hokage, can control alone.

It makes no sense to put all the blame on him alone.

What's more, it is clear that all decisions are made by the Council of Elders?

But as the Third Hokage, he is undoubtedly responsible for all the losses caused here...

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said slowly: "I will resign the position of the Third Hokage and give it to the Fourth."
