Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Ms. Yekura, huh? Why not... come and stay in Konoha for a while?"

The faint light coming in from the window was shining on the young man's face, but it seemed to be more dazzling than the sunlight, making it difficult to look directly at it for a moment.

Looking at the young man in front of him with a gentle smile, Ye Cang was stunned.

The thoughts in my mind gradually became confused and I remained silent for a long time.

What he said was...

wrong!

Not appropriate.

Why...

"Minato-sensei!"

After just a moment of silence, Kakashi suddenly looked up at the tall figure beside him, his eyes full of disbelief.

This is so irresponsible!

He couldn't believe it came from Minato-sensei.

The meaning behind Mei Terumi's words is very clear.

But even if Ye Cang had saved herself, it couldn't change the fact that she had gone to war with her and caused trouble for her.

There was no need for Kakashi to speak for an outsider.

From the perspective of the village, after weighing the pros and cons, this is a stupid thing that is enough to threaten the village.

This should not be the case, both in public and in private.

So Kakashi chose to remain silent.

But what no one expected was that Minato, the Fourth Hokage, would take the initiative to agree to it!

As the 'shadow' who has an overall view of the situation, this is definitely not a smart decision.

Allowing former enemies to enter the village is like inviting a wolf into the house...

"Why, Kakashi, is there anything you want to say?"

Minato lowered his head and looked at Kakashi, patting his forehead earnestly, with some kind of 'threatening' look in his eyes.

"Uh, no…no."

Even though I have thousands of words to say, after noticing the determination in those eyes.

Kakashi finally swallowed his concerns back into his stomach.

Maybe I was overthinking it.

Since Minato-sensei agreed to it, there must be a reason for it, and it must be something that he has properly arranged...

It's not your turn to worry about things like this!

That must be it!

Thinking of this, I felt a little relieved.

Faced with a teacher who had been absolutely reliable in the past, all doubts seemed inappropriate.

Mei Terumi also looked at the blond young man, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.

There are indeed some...

It's unexpected!

"Since you happen to be interested in Konoha, why don't you take this opportunity to come and take a look at Konoha? How about it?

"This is a rare opportunity. Konoha has never received a guest from Sunagakure."

Minato turned around and looked at Ye Cang who was sitting on the bed and said with a smile.

Can I...?

Ye Cang's mind raced as he looked at the young man in front of him and felt more and more that something was not right.

Fraud?

The possibility of ulterior motives cannot be ruled out.

But for me, the worst outcome is death.

Even if it's a lie, so what?

"Can you tell me why?" Ye Cang gritted his teeth and continued.

She could clearly feel the kindness in the other person's words.

Similarly, even putting aside this goodwill, Ye Cang felt that he did not need to worry too much.

But this is so abnormal that one has to wonder what's going on.

Is it courage?

Because of his powerful strength, he is not worried about the threats that may arise after entering the village?

Or is this the confidence of "Shadow"?

Not only Ye Cang, even Mei Terumi and Kakashi had the same doubts in their hearts.

Maintaining the stability of the village is the responsibility of the 'shadow'.

However, what was the reason behind the Fourth Hokage's opposite move?

"Many of your words, in my opinion, are not without reason. This provides me and Konoha with a new direction. As the 'shadow' of Konoha, I just happen to be able to do some things, and some things can only be done by me."

Minato spoke slowly, with a hint of determination in his words, and then he laughed dumbly:

"Maybe it's because I'm young and energetic. I also want to try to prove something to you..."

"To prove...what?" Ye Cang murmured.

The meaning of this passage is too vague to be understood.

Did I...say something?

"Keep it secret for now!" Minato laughed, and then said meaningfully: "You will know when the time comes."

The same reaction as Ye Cang's dazed reaction.

Kakashi could only show his usual listless dead fish eyes...

I dont understand!

Could it be that older seniors all like to be mysterious when talking to juniors?

This is how Ye Cang spoke to the two of them before, and this is how Minato spoke to Ye Cang now!

Kakashi's expression changed and he glanced to the side, just in time to see a look of confusion in Ye Cang's eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Why do I feel such an indescribable...satisfaction?

Ye Cang came to his senses very quickly, looked at the small figure next to Minato, and glared at him fiercely.

Then he said seriously: "I do...well, I really want to see the current Konoha."

"It is an honor to be invited by the Fourth Hokage."
