The border between the land of fire and the land of tea.

It's rare that in the previous world collapse, there was almost no damage here, and of course this is also because it is so far from the battlefield.

The border between the two countries is a primeval forest adjacent to the coast, and it is strange that there is a cleared open field on the cliff near the coast at the edge of the forest.

Facing the sea, there is a humble tomb standing quietly here, enjoying the warm sea breeze.

Wearing a hat and a wide robe, Gen Yile placed a handful of bright wildflowers on the wordless tombstone, then took two steps back and knelt on the ground with his hands folded and prayed silently, while behind him, Calamus, Assi, and Atsun were all praying equally devoutly.

"I'm still losing. ”

Yile thought like this with mixed feelings, he finally lost to human nature, just when the calamus was about to be annihilated in the mouth of the divine shadow, the human nature in the depths of Yuan Yile's soul finally prevailed, and human nature is like this, just like the grass struggling to survive in the stubborn stone, as long as it emerges, it will eventually be out of control.

Then, his mind couldn't help but go back to decades ago, thinking of that ordinary but gentle woman. At this time, Yuan Yile seemed to understand something, it turned out that as early as the moment he was melted, he laid the foundation for his own defeat decades later.

Calamus looked at Yuan Yile with a complicated expression, this strangeness made her a little frightened, and she suddenly realized that she didn't know her father at all.

"Calamus, what are you thinking?"

Calamus was a little stunned by Yuan Yile's question, and her body subconsciously flinched, but she also noticed the sadness that flashed in Yile's eyes the moment she retreated, and thought of the huge statue that collapsed at the end...... In the end, it turned out that he had survived, not the destruction of the world.

Confusion of thoughts flickered in Calamus's mind, and finally she seemed to have made up her mind and looked up into Ichiraku's eyes.

"Father, I want to hear your old story. ”

Yuan Yile was said by his daughter, but then smiled.

"Okay. ”

It was supposed to be a warm moment between father and daughter, but Assi and Asong interjected a little uninterestingly.

"Teacher, where are we going next?

The failure of the final plan made a huge emptiness in the hearts of the two. Yuan Yile looked at the two disciples, and couldn't help but sigh a little at some point why their minds couldn't be as bright as the sun.

"Of course, it's a shame, but I have to admit that I lost to Qingyang in the proudest swordsmanship. Therefore, I will continue to train you twice as much in the future, until one day you can defeat him with your swordsmanship. ”

……

Myoki Mountain, all the immortals gathered here and had a discussion.

Once again, the psychic world and the ninja world have become one, which is a big deal, and the immortals feel the need to discuss how to get along with humans in the future.

As for why the location was chosen in Miaomu Mountain, on the one hand, the big toad immortals are indeed respected by everyone, and on the other hand, Miaomu Mountain is spacious enough, and the environment is also suitable for all immortals to visit.

"It's a good thing that the psychic realm has been opened up and we are free again, but humans can also come here without going through a contract, which is not a good thing for us, and I think it is necessary to be on guard in advance. ”

Several immortals who prefer to live quietly and alone said this, and several immortals who have a neutral attitude and have little contact with humans also agreed for a while.

The big toad immortal did not speak, but sat in his seat and snored. Seeing this scene, the Bai Yuan Immortal smiled helplessly and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a somewhat different opinion. ”

The prestige of the Bai Yuan Immortal was also self-evident, and everyone looked at him in unison.

"Qingyang saw Wan Ling before, which is something that none of us can compare, and he realized the appeal of Wan Ling and the truth in the dark.

Today, human beings are not only the lowly, greedy and cruel species they were at the beginning, although they are also humble, greedy and cruel today, they also possess the noble qualities of greatness, selflessness and benevolence.

I thought that now, maybe we can try to help Qingyang and guide them to learn how to revere nature and live in harmony with it, which should be what all souls want. ”

……

The reconstruction of Konoha proceeded quickly, on the one hand, because a good foundation had been laid before the sun, and on the other hand, it was also this war that accelerated the promotion of new applications for chakra.

And after the reconstruction of the village was completed, a special public trial was also held on the newly built Hokage Square.

It was no one else who was on trial, the original Xiao organization was from the Uchiha Obito down, and the Uchiha Itachi, Orochimaru, Yakushidou and others were all in front of the public to accept their trial.

The world is on the verge of a complete collapse, and after experiencing this, the people's mentality has also changed greatly, and when all the merits and demerits are publicly put on the table, the people have also given them a certain understanding.

Their contributions in the Great War should not be erased, but their mistakes should not be forgotten, and they should be truthfully recorded so that future generations can take them as a warning, of course, in the end, they all received varying degrees of commutation of sentences, and none of them were sentenced to death.

At the end of the trial, several people walked down the bench accompanied by guards, and Weasel was given the least of the sentences, serving five years in prison and ten years of service.

As he walked out of the plaza, Itachi clearly saw Sasuke standing on the side of the road.

"Sasuke ......"

When the two brothers met at this time, they didn't know what to say. Sasuke's trial had been held in private the day before, and since almost everything Sasuke had done after his defection had been attempted, he was not sentenced to prison, but his movements were monitored for the rest of the day.

Time has passed, and although most of the knot in his heart is still untied, he doesn't know what to say when he looks at his brother Sasuke. In the end, Sasuke had to talk dryly about his recent plans.

"I plan to learn immortal art from the White Snake Immortal, I want to explore the ten thousand souls that the moon and the sun say, and comprehend the true meaning of this world. ”

Itachi didn't speak, just nodded in relief, and then motioned for the two guards beside him to take him away. Now that the Uchiha clan is still left with them and Obito, they will have no shortage of questions to think about in the future.

……

Just like that, another year passed, and on this day Kakashi was notified and rushed to Haruyo's office.

During this year, Kakashi began to take over the military work of the village in an all-round way, conscientiously implementing Haruyo's reform plan, and at the same time, he was a little puzzled that Haruyo had almost completely stopped meddling in specific affairs recently, and handed over all administrative and economic work to Kaku and others. Qingyang himself, on the other hand, is immersed in the pile of old papers, writing more than 10,000 words of text every day.

"Hokage, do you have something to look for me?"

Entering the office, Kakashi wondered a little, usually there would be at least one assistant in the office, either Sakai or Yakumo, but today only Haruyo was present.

"Kakashi-senpai, I have an idea for you to get your opinion on. So, this time it was just the two of us talking in secret. ”

Haruhio's words caused some speculation on Kakashi's part, but he still wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

"I would like to recommend you to succeed the Hokage. ”

Despite this hunch, Kakashi was a little surprised.

"Why do you have such an idea, you are still very young. ”

Qingyang nodded, and then said calmly.

"It's because I'm young that I think about it. In the past, I wanted to change the world better, so I longed for a bigger stage, and at the same time, because of the response to the crisis, I stood at the forefront.

And in the more than a year since I took office as Hokage, I have realized that my age is a big problem. If I wanted to, I could well sit in the Hokage's seat for decades.

Not surprisingly, my prestige will grow higher and higher in the future. This raises a very serious problem, which is that my successor will be under tremendous pressure.

And to be honest, after this ninja war, it's hard for me to communicate with other Kage on an equal footing. This may be a good thing for Konoha in the short term, but not necessarily for the ninja world.

What all souls want is balance, a spiraling cycle, so it is necessary to maintain the balance between the five powers, and taking too big a step is not a good thing for the ninja world. ”

Kakashi said with a wry smile as he understood Haruhyo's words.

"But why me? And your decision was so sudden, I couldn't have done better than you, and you still need to preside over a lot of things. ”

Haruyo, who had long expected Kakashi to say this, took out a scroll from the drawer.

"The ones I left behind will do the trick, no one but you can complete them, and to be honest it may be unfair to you, but you are the best person I can think of. I need this to be done in your name, to complete a smooth transition of the village. ”

Communication between smart people doesn't take much to say, and Kakashi suddenly understands what Haruhi means. Qingyang's personal strength and prestige are unprecedentedly high, even so high that they are out of step with the current situation.

If the current Qingyang wants to implement something, there is no doubt that it can be achieved smoothly. But this raises the problem that these policies are not implemented because "everyone agrees", but because "no one dares to oppose them".

Over time, this will leave one disadvantage, one is that it encourages personal expansion, and the other is that the opposition is hidden in the shadows and grows.

Taking the Hyuga clan as an example, for the further development of the village, the problem of the "Caged Bird's Seal" must be solved. If Qingyang gives an order now, the Hyuga clan is afraid of his strength, and naturally they will not dare to oppose it.

But that kind of opposition will not disappear, it will only ferment in secret, and after many years, it will likely become a historical problem that cannot be solved for a long time, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Hyuga clan will not become the second Uchiha.

On the other hand, if the Hyuga family were given an opponent that they thought they could fight, such as Kakashi, the Hyuga clan would most likely raise their opposition and put their demands on the table.

In fact, the will behind this is still Qingyang, but it also gives the Hyuga clan the illusion that the two sides are negotiating and compromising, and the actual result in the end has not changed, but it has invisibly solved some problems that may be hidden.

It would be a good arrangement for Kakashi to step forward and retreat bravely, but the only thing about it is that Kakashi is a little sorry.

Because Kakashi will become perhaps the most unassertive Hokage in history, his historical task is to smoothly complete the arrangement of the sunny sun. It's hard to say that thousands of years later, when people talk about Kakashi, there are only two words for the world: "puppet".

Putting everything on the table, Haruyo looked at Kakashi expressionlessly, because he was trying to persuade others to make sacrifices, he couldn't say much. Instead, Kakashi smiled and picked up the scroll of the sunny sun and held it in his arms.

"There were years in my life where I was suspicious and critical of my father, but now I finally understand that a ninja is about giving up on himself when necessary. ”

The vast majority of people do not have the consciousness of sacrificing their lives, and Kakashi, who made the decision to succeed, has courage that ordinary people cannot match.

Haruyo, who stepped down from the Hokage, ended up just serving as an honorary advisor in the Hokage's office, and now the situation is stable, and as long as he is alive for a day, he will be the ballast stone for peace in the ninja world.

Qingyang, who has become a free man, decides to give himself a period of vacation, and he chooses to go to Jiraiya's home as a guest to report peace to the old man.

Speaking of which, after the Great War, Jiraiya and Tsunade got married in a low-key manner under the witness of a few people, and now the two are also temporary honorary advisors living in seclusion in the Mid-Levels Villa.

However, after ringing the doorbell and walking into the courtyard, Qingyang found that he had been fooled, what kind of seclusion was here, it was not too lively.

Naruto moved in with the little Nine-Tails, and at the same time he also saw Orochimaru, who asked for the conditions of choosing the place of imprisonment on his own initiative, and finally became neighbors with Jiraiya and Tsunade, and now he and Jiraiya are sitting in the shade of a tree playing against each other.

"Orochimaru, don't forget your identity as a prisoner, usually keep a low profile, let others know that you are living so comfortably, it's hard to do. ”

Asked for a cup of tea with Shizune, Qingyang habitually warned Orochimaru two sentences, and sat on the edge of the chess game to watch the game.

"I heard that you have stepped down as Hokage, is it really good that you are so idle?"

Orochimaru said with a smile, but Jiraiya patted Qingyang's shoulder with his prosthetic leg and said.

"It's good to be out of office, and it's easy. You kid should be idle now, think more about yourself, I heard that you have a little girlfriend in Iwain, what's your name......"

Jiraiya was pondering, and a strange head sprang out from there.

"I know, the teacher's girlfriend's name is Kuroto, and she is the granddaughter of Tsuchikage!"

Qingyang looked at the "mouthy" girl over there and said in great surprise.

"Fu, why are you here?!"

After the war, Fuya returned to her village, and now Takigakushi and Konoha have a good relationship, and the two sides are actively cooperating.

"Hehe, after working in the village for a few days, Lord Droplet saw that I was working too hard and gave me a vacation. ”

Fu said a little embarrassed, and at the same time let go of Chongming in his arms to play with the Nine Lamas. Qingyang understood it, things were definitely not what Fu said, it is estimated that this guy will not be able to help much after returning to the village, and it is likely that he will also help her, so Feimo simply gave her a holiday.

Fu's matter was put aside first, and Jiraiya began to squeeze his eyebrows and talk.

"Ohnogi's granddaughter is a good match for you. Seriously, Qingyang, you really have to hurry. You can wait for other girls, but you can't wait, some things are a pity to miss the best age, not every man can be as old as me......"

"Bang!"

Jiraiya was talking triumphantly, when the top of his head was suddenly hammered, Tsunade slanted Jiraiya and smiled to greet Qingyang, and Sakura, who was following behind, hurriedly moved a chair for Tsunade to sit on.

"Tsunade-sensei, don't make a big move in your body now, this is the dangerous stage......

The mute side was also cautious Wen Sheng persuaded him, and he said that Tsunade was upset for a while.

"You two don't need to be verbose, I know it myself. ”

Qingyang still wondered what was going on here, but Orochimaru said with a wicked smile.

"It's time for your temper to rein in, but don't forget that you're an advanced maternity, Tsunade. ”

Orochimaru's words shocked Qingyang's jaw almost fell, Tsunade was a little embarrassed at this time, after all, she was already a grandmother's generation, and she was still very unaccustomed to suddenly becoming a mother, and she was a little irritated when she thought of this, twisting Jiraiya's arm a little irritably.

Naruto, who was stunned, couldn't see the atmosphere at all.

"Speaking of which, I really haven't thought about what I should call the baby after it is born? I usually call Tsunade Mother-in-law, so doesn't that mean that I want to call the baby uncle or aunt? But I'm a disciple of a lustful fairy, so shouldn't I call my brother? But my father is also a disciple of a lustful fairy, and this generation is too messy......

Naruto was still babbling about his seniority, and Sakura couldn't stand it anymore, and punched Naruto in the head.

"Idiot, you give me a little bit of moderation!"

Qingyang looked at Naruto's beating but enjoying it, and secretly "despise" this kid is really useless, this guy now lives in the same yard with Sakura every day, and it is estimated that his heart has long been happy, but I don't know what kind of mood the little girl who loves Naruto is......

Just as Qingyang was thinking like this, he was surprised to see Hinata come out of the room, holding a large pile of bits and pieces in his hand.

"Jiraiya-sama, it's time for your daily writing. Tsunade-sama, it's time for you to listen to music according to the schedule. ”

"Hinata?!"

Haruyo said in surprise, he couldn't figure out how Hinata was here. Hinata was also a little surprised to see Qingyang present, and replied solemnly.

"Haruyo-sama, I'm Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama's life secretary......"

Hinata replied softly, but Naruto's side was the first to speak.

"After the reorganization of the ninja team, Hinata moved to a clerical position, and is now the life secretary of the lascivious fairy and mother-in-law, and Shizuma-sama and Sakura are the health doctors here. ”

Qingyang suddenly realized, and thought that now the Hokage House and the Hyuga clan in the village are negotiating on reform, it seems that Hinata was transferred here to work at this time, and it is estimated that Hinata Hinata is a kind of protection for his daughter.

Looking at Hinata when he peeked at Naruto, his eyes were different, thinking about Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, and Hinata, a relationship where you chase me, Qingyang secretly smiled.

But while snickering, Qingyang also thought of the black soil in the distance, since the end of the war, the two have never met again, and the middle has always been in contact by letter, and now he is not burdened by chores, and it is indeed time to tell the black soil about his thoughts.

……

Summer has ended, and the weather in Iwakure is still as hot as ever in September, and the collapse of the previous world has had a great impact on Iwakure, but fortunately, the people of the Land Country are used to living with rocks, and with Konoha's assistance to the villages, Iwakure's life has quickly returned to normal.

However, Heitu has been in a bad mood lately, and she is angry at the thought that the bastard hasn't heard from her for a month. I heard that the guy had resigned from the Hokage's position, but after not saying anything about coming to see him for so long, Kuroto felt that his face was swollen with anger.

Today is her birthday, and Hei Tu has made up her mind, if that guy doesn't say anything, she will never ignore him! Dusk has passed, and a cool breeze is blowing outside the window, but Hei Tu is still irritable.

The ghost made the god dress himself up brilliantly, the black soil looked at herself in the mirror, looked left and right, but she was the only one here, she couldn't help but throw the mirror off the dressing table in anger.

The mirror shattered to the ground, which made Black Earth even more irritated, and just as she was about to make a temperament, she saw a small crocodile climb up from the side of the dresser at some point.

Seeing this crocodile, the heart of the black earth was like a deer, and that bastard really didn't forget!

Then she saw that the crocodile was carrying a beautiful box, and the crocodile unloaded the box and let it lie flat on the table, as if to signal the black earth to open it.

There was a beautiful necklace here, and a brilliant gem was pendant, and the black soil couldn't put it down, but he still put the necklace back with joy, and then said to the crocodile.

"Is there a letter from that bastard?"

The crocodile looked at her blankly and shook his head, and the black earth asked again.

"Did he let you bring anything else?"

The crocodile still shook his head, the black soil was a little thin, and said as he held up the box.

"There's nothing but it, isn't it?!"

This time, the crocodile nodded, but this was the last answer that Hei Tu wanted, and immediately stood up angrily, grabbed the box and was about to throw it out.

"Who wants his broken necklace!"

However, before the box was thrown out, Hei Tu's hand stopped in mid-air, and the box containing the necklace turned into a little light and reformed into a figure in front of Hei Tu.

Qingyang gently held Hao's wrist and joked with a smile.

"Are you going to throw me out?"

Seeing her sweetheart suddenly appear in front of her, Hei Tu covered her mouth in surprise, but soon she put down her hand and hammered it on Qingyang's shoulder.

"Why are you so obscene!"

Qingyang couldn't laugh or cry when he was said by this sentence, but he didn't expect that the surprise he had carefully prepared was exchanged for such an evaluation of Heitu, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"I ...... I thought you'd like it. ”

Looking at Qingyang's stupid appearance, Hei Tu snorted and laughed.

"Stupid, I like to die. ”

A pair of little men and women hugged each other tightly, forgetting all the love words in their stomachs for a while, they just wanted to enjoy the silence at this time.

After a long time, the two separated, and Qingyang solemnly brought the necklace to Hei Tu and whispered in her ear.

"What's next, I'm really going to surprise you. ”

With that, in the soft cry of the black soil, Qingyang flew out of the open window with the black soil in his arms. The two of them flew higher and higher, enjoying the beautiful night sky, with a bright moon above their heads, and the most beautiful fireworks that all spirits had given them.

"Is it pretty?"

Qingyang asked a little proudly, and the black soil buried his face in Qingyang's arms, and his eyes narrowed into two crescents.

"Hmm!"

The quiet and beautiful night sky witnesses them, and I hope the two of them can enjoy this night to the fullest. There may be a lot of things waiting for them tomorrow, but there is no need to worry, after all, life is still long.
