The banquet that night was really late. He apologized and said that he had been delayed by some clan affairs.
Jiraiya smiled and joked that he was really talking to a little girl from the tribe.
Shikaku smiled and said that it's not like a serious person like Majun has a girlfriend.
The people at the banquet were still the same, and their attitude towards Zhen was much more enthusiastic than before. The friendship they had fought side by side on the battlefield was different.
Even if we have different political opinions, we can still sit together and have a drink regardless of the situation.
At the young people's table, Huomen was forcefully dragged by Kai to sit with everyone. Everyone had met him once and knew that he was a real personal bodyguard, so they didn't reject him.
Everyone was chatting and laughing while drinking drinks. Obito boasted the loudest, saying that he had gained the attention of the family and would be focused on training.
Shiranui Genma said disdainfully: "You, a low-level person, can be trained intensively, but your Uchiha generation is too bad."
This statement made the people at the table burst into laughter.
Obito was a little crazy and found his own reasons to refute Genma. Kakashi also added that Genma was right.
He turned his head to Lin, wanting to seek comfort, but found that Lin's eyes were looking elsewhere.
"Lin...Lin?"
"ah?"
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm watching...Minato-sensei."
Obito scratched his head, wondering what Minato-sensei had to see.
When Minato was mentioned, the conversation among the boys was immediately changed. Asuma lamented that the victory of this war was thanks to Minato-sama.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Ebisu said it was a pity that such an outstanding person like Minato-sama did not become Hokage, but as soon as he said these words, he was reminded by the people around him and looked at Anko with unkind eyes.
"Isn't it good for Orochimaru-sama to be Hokage?" she asked.
"Uh... Yondaime-sama is quite good."
Anko wouldn't allow outsiders to say anything bad about Orochimaru in front of her, and everyone knew it.
When mentioning what happened on the battlefield, someone else talked about Shin. Asuma asked Xiang Huato why Shin's fighting style is different from that of members of your Hyuga clan.
All of them saw the huge phantom on the battlefield that day, as well as the sight of Zhen Fei showing off his power in the sky.
But in everyone's impression, the Hyuga clan should be ninjas who are good at physical skills and soft fists.
Huomen shook his head. He didn't know much about Master Zhen's strength. He rarely saw Master Zhen practicing.
Xuanjian smacked his lips and said, "Zhenjun seems to be about the same age as us."
Some people looked towards the Hokage and saw the heads of the major families at the same table talking and laughing, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the other party was not on the same level as them.
Having a Kakashi among his peers is enough to shock people.
"Huomen-kun, can you fly?"
Huomen still shook his head.
"It must feel great to fly," said Yuhi Hong.
"I really want to try it too." Shizune also said.
After hearing this, Hongdou planned to go back to Shangzhen and ask him to take him to heaven to try.
No one can resist the temptation of flying. Seeing everyone's appearance, Obito thought for a moment and then quietly asked Lin beside him: "Lin, do you want to fly in the sky?"
Lin: "...it's okay."
Her expression was slightly unnatural, but Obito didn't notice it. Hearing this, he just made up his mind to go back to find Zhen, and he must ask for the secret technique that allows him to fly.
The topic of everyone's chat shifted to the prisoners of Cloud Ninja, and they discussed how the village would deal with these people.
"They must have been killed. The Kumo ninjas killed so many of our companions," Ebisu said.
Some people nodded in agreement, and Asma said: "If you want to kill them, you can kill them on the front line. Do you have to bring them back to the village and then execute them? Maybe they are intended to use these people as bargaining chips in negotiations."
Xuanjian also asked: "What about those companions who died?"
Asma said: "Killing people is not necessarily revenge. Being able to exchange these people for more things will also be of great help to our current village."
After he said that, he turned his gaze to Yuhi Hong: "Red, what do you think?"
Yuri Hong just chuckled when she heard this: "I don't know."
"Kakashi?"
"I think it's possible."
It wasn't until after dinner that everyone dispersed and everyone went back to their homes.
On the way back, he suddenly met Obito, who was talking beside Lin and kept talking.
"True!" Obito greeted with a smile as soon as he saw True.
Lin, who had been walking with her head down, quickly raised her head.
Zhen looked at the two of them and said, "Where's the date?"
Obito responded with a naive smile: "Yeah!"
Lin immediately glared at him after hearing this: "Don't talk nonsense!"
She quickly explained to Zhen: "Obito just wants to tell me something."
Zhen nodded and said: "Then you guys can talk, I'm going back first, see you later."
"See you later, really." Obito waved goodbye.
Zhen left, Lin quietly watched his leaving figure.
Obito was still talking nonstop in her ears, but this time she didn't hear it at all.
There are a few stars in the sky, and there are scattered figures on the ground.
The light and shadow of the street lamp are swaying, like the ups and downs of a person's heart.
Lin suddenly stopped and turned to look at Obito.
"Lin...Lin?"
"Obito, I told you that I have work tomorrow and I can't go on a date with you."
"What about the day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow will do, too." Obito said quickly.
Lin said helplessly: "Obito, don't always focus on things like this. Don't you want to become Hokage? How can you become Hokage if you don't work hard to practice?"
Obito scratched his head: "Lin, you are right."
Lin said: "Obito, since you have a clear goal, just work hard towards it."
Obito nodded vigorously: "I will, Lin!"
"It's very late. I'm going home. You should go back and rest early."
Obito kept waving at Lin's back, with a smile on his face.
Lin really thinks about me.
…
The news of the defeat of Kumogakure Village quickly spread in the ninja world. Konoha defeated many with less in successive battles. This feat solidified the reputation of Konoha's largest ninja village.
Originally, some small countries coveted the weakened Konoha and wanted to steal the fruits, but now they have given up this idea. The power of the Nine-Tails has shocked them.
This battle brought Golden Flash's reputation to a higher level, and Hinata's real name slowly spread in the ninja world. After all, flying ninjas are too rare.
Afterwards, Kumogakure Village quickly sent a peace letter, requesting Konoha to release their Raikage and Kumo ninja captives. They were willing to pay any price and promised never to invade again in the future.
Of course Konoha will not easily agree to such an absurd request. They will attack when they say they are going to attack. Now that they have lost the battle, they still want to leave unharmed?
Even if the Hokage agrees, the villagers will not agree.
Konoha simply put the letter sent from Kumogakure aside and ignored it.
The daimyo was also very trustworthy and sent a lot of money and treasures to Amegakure. The Fire Country officially established diplomatic relations with the Rain Country, Konoha and Amegakure. Under the intentional guidance, Yahiko, the new leader of Amegakure, was packaged.
He became a revolutionary who was dissatisfied with the brutal rule of Hanzo Sanshouyu. He established a new order in Yuyin Village and was a pioneer dedicated to maintaining peace.
The old hatred of the past disappeared.
The ninja world will also open a new chapter.
Zhenya began to focus on the internal affairs of the village, and everything was on track.
Orochimaru's research seemed to have made new progress, and he spent every day in the research room forgetting to eat or sleep.
He really planned to try to develop industry after the village's finances were stable, so he began to recruit craftsmen and designers who were proficient in electrical appliances.
Winter turned to spring, and Konoha finally got through this most difficult year.
