Naruto and Shadow

“Lord Hokage!”

“Hokage-sama came to visit us!”

“Thank you for your hard work, Hokage-sama.……”

After Hino Hikaru came out of the tent, he didn’t go far when he saw the Third Hokage surrounded by a lot of ninjas.

“You have worked hard too. You are all heroes of Konoha. People in the village will always remember your contribution and hard work!”

“Just now, I have reached an agreement with the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village. They will withdraw their troops immediately and help us defeat Kumogakure’s army!”

“Now, as long as we wait here for the good news from Minato’s troops, we can declare that the result of this war is another complete victory for Konoha!”

“Won, Won!”

“Long live Hokage-sama! Long live Konoha!”

“Long live Hokage-sama!”

At this scene, looking at the crowds around them shouting long live, and Sarutobi Hiruzen standing in the center with everyone’s attention gathered, Hino Hikaru wanted to shout a few words too, but… he saw someone not far away. There were graves of comrades of various sizes, and I saw the broken limbs and broken arms all around…the crowds were more or less bandaged but still excited.

And most of these excited crowds were older than Hino Hikaru. Even a small child.

This is a scene that makes even militarism, Faxi Temple, and IS terrorist organizations cry silently after watching it.

He can’t shout long live, even if he is pretending, he can’t.

“As long as there are leaves flying, the fire will burn, the shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and new leaves will sprout.……”

The high-spirited Third Hokage, who was in the center of the crowd, began to excitedly recite the”doctrine” of Konoha Village when it was founded.

These words sounded good at first, but when I think about it, what Sarutobi Hiruzen burned were just the”new shoots” of Konoha Village, and the ashes produced by these new shoots nourished the”old roots” like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo. After that, Hino Hikaru felt very nauseous.

If you have the guts, you old guys go to the battlefield!

Just throw some civilian ninja children without fathers and mothers into the battlefield as cannon fodder.……

“Of course, we would also like to thank the heroic team who had the courage to go deep behind enemy lines and blow up the enemy’s transportation bridge in this war. If it weren’t for their efforts, I wouldn’t have been able to let the Tsuchikage give in so quickly.”

As he said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked over and took Hino Hikaru’s hand. He started to greet him.

He looked like a friendly Hokage-sama.

“He is one of the hero team led by Namikaze Minato Jonin and Sannin Tsunade, Hino Hikaru……”

Seeing this, Hino Hikaru could only cooperate and be shy.

“It turned out to be a team led by Tsunade-sama and Namikaze Jonin. No wonder they could do such a big thing!”

“Tsunade-sama saved many of us!”

“Yes, if Tsunade-sama hadn’t come, most of us wounded wouldn’t have survived.……”

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to promote Namikaze Minato, most people still only recognized Tsunade.

But there is nothing we can do about it. He is a medical ninja and a legendary Sannin. It is normal to have this kind of popularity.

“Where is Tsunade now?”

Actually, if Tsunade wants to be Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi can do it.

After being her teacher for so many years, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knows that Tsunade is also a good person.

“Here, resting, Tsunade-sama, she has been working nonstop for three days and three nights, and now she is so sleepy that she fell asleep.”

Naturally, Hino Hikaru would not let Sarutobi Hiruzen disturb Tsunade at this time.

So he focused on the reason why Tsunade is still sleeping.

“Okay, then take me to see some other little heroes.”

“Yes, Hokage-sama!”

Hino Hikaru showed great respect on his face and perfectly acted out his sincerity and fear when being ordered by Hokage-sama.

——

After emphatically praising Uchiha Obito who was lying on the hospital bed, Sarutobi Hiruzen praised Kakashi and Nohara Rin in succession.

It wasn’t until the onlooking ninjas had retreated that he asked about Kakashi’s eyes.

“your eyes……”

“Yes, Hokage-sama, this Sharingan was given to me by Obito.”

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kakashi was neither cold nor enthusiastic.

But he has always been like this, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t think there was anything wrong.

“Then you should make good use of this eye and don’t let your companions down.”

Did Kakashi get the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan?

Even if the other party gave it to him voluntarily, if this matter is reported back to the Uchiha clan, there will definitely be other opinions.

But fortunately Uchiha Obito is still alive

“Yes, Hokage-sama”

“I heard that you plan to return to Konoha to recuperate early?”

“Well, Obito needs to go to the hospital to get the best treatment.……”

“Then try not to show your Sharingan in the village, okay?”

“……I see.”

Kakashi pulled down his forehead protector, covering the left eye containing the Sharingan.

“Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your concern.”

“You child, your father is a hero who sacrificed his life for the village, you are my child, there is no need to be so polite to me.”

Shaked his head, and after leaving Kakashi alone to say a few words, Sarutobi Hiruzen left Konoha’s rear camp.

———

“Lin, Lin! We have all become heroes of Konoha!”

Compared to the calmness of several others, Obito, who was announced as a hero by the Hokage in public, is particularly excited now.

Although his whole body cannot move, his mouth has not been idle since just now.

“Yes, yes, Obito is the great hero who saved Konoha.”

Even Nohara Rin, who has the best temper, showed a helpless smile at this time.

Obito really seems like a child.

While she was thinking this, she secretly glanced in the direction of Hino Hikaru and Kakashi.

“Tomorrow we will set off back to the village. It is a B-level escort mission together with escorting Obito.”

The war has been decided, and Hino Hikari and others’ request to return to the village was quickly agreed to by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

They even generously upgraded the mission originally classified as C-level to B-level.

They will escort them tomorrow and returned to the village with some of Konoha’s seriously injured people.

“Oops, I can do without your escort. Although I’m not completely healed yet, I still have one arm and one leg that I can use!”

When it comes to returning to the village, Obito is happy but also a little embarrassed.

Although there is no one in his family, he is very afraid of his tribe and Kakashi. They always regard him as a disabled person who needs to be taken care of.

Although now This is already a fact

“Shut up, get some rest, and go home tomorrow!”

Although it was very lively to be regarded as a hero today, Kakashi felt confused when he thought of Obito and his father.

“Lin, look, Kakashi is mean to me again!”

“Okay, okay, you two are really……”

Somehow, Nohara Lin found that as long as she saw Obito and Kakashi bickering and playing around like before, she would feel extremely at ease.

She will go home tomorrow…

It’s a pity that she is also an orphan like Hino-san, and there is no immediate family waiting for her to go back.

“That, Nohara-san……”

“Just call me Lin.”

Just when Nohara Rin and Obito said good night and came outside the medical tent, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Hino Hikaru was still waiting for her outside.

“Lin, although I haven’t returned to the village yet, I���I have something to ask of you in advance.”

Hino Hikaru looked back at the girl in front of him.

This girl has a pair of very gentle eyes.

But this is not the point.……

“What’s up? If I can help Hino…as long as I can help Hikari, I will do it.”

Nohara Lin patted her petite chest and looked at the young man in front of her seriously.

“We are already partners, aren’t we?”

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just whether you can……”

Hino Hikaru slightly moved his eyes on the girl’s face

“Please introduce me to Uzumaki Kushina?”
