Mizuto and Shikaku are back, taking with them a group of hundreds of ninjas who have gone out to fight.

The villagers came to the main street to welcome them in triumph, and everyone was present on this occasion, and Orochimaru also stood in front of everyone wearing Hokage robes and a fire-shaped hat on his head.

The scene was solemn and festive, the streets were lit up with lights, many banners were hung, and people on both sides were cheering vigorously.

"Hokage-sama." On the side of the water gate stood Shikaku and Haiichi, who took the initiative to salute Orochimaru.

With a smile on his face, Orochimaru personally stepped forward to help Mizumon up and said some words of condolence.

Shikaku's gaze quickly swept over the people behind Orochimaru, the two Hokage advisors were there, and Jiraiya was also there, but he didn't see the figure of the third generation.

The water gate also brought the war money paid by the Fog Hidden Village of the Water Country, which was extremely rich, and it was the price of buying the Seven Ninja Sword.

After seeing it, Orochimaru was very satisfied, and his research institute could be expanded.

The celebration lasted for a long time, and finally a group of high-level officials came to the Hokage Building, and Orochimaru praised Mizumon and Shikaku and others in public, and gave them a lot of rewards.

Then he said a lot of words, and he was really present the whole time.

From time to time, Shikaku's eyes glanced at the young man, who seemed too young among the crowd, and he had heard a lot of things, this person was Hinata's new patriarch, and he was currently in charge of the village.

Orochimaru then asked everyone to go home first, and a celebration banquet was prepared to entertain everyone in the evening.

Mizumon came out of the Hokage building and said goodbye to everyone one by one, and when he returned to the village, his feelings were inevitably a little complicated.

I thought that the position of the Hokage was only one step away from him, but I didn't expect someone to sit up one step ahead of him.

Rin, Obito, and Kushina, who had been waiting outside, immediately came up.

After a few idle sentences, Mizuto looked at Obito's right arm with some surprise, Obito said that it was Hokage-sama who helped him pick it up, and he also talked about the cells between the pillars and Mu Dun.

Mizuto pondered for a while, he didn't know much about this kind of thing, but said, "Since Hokage-sama has said so, you have to work hard and don't bury Mu Dun's prestige." ”

Obito smiled when he heard this, "That's for sure, I'm going to be the Hokage in the future!" ”

“……”

Watergate just smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Where's Kakashi?" He asked instead.

"Kakashi......" Rin and Obito glanced at each other, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong with Kakashi?"

"Kakashi has joined the Shadows, and he should be on duty now." Lynn said.

Mizumon was very surprised, and glanced at Kushina, who said, "Kakashi said that this is what he meant, saying that he can be better tempered in the shadows. ”

Shuimen was only silent about this, and then smiled at Obito and Lin: "Let's go, let's go to my place first." ”

On the way back, Mizumon also hesitated to go to the three generations to have a look, but after thinking about it, the three generations did not appear today, which should have shown a lot of attitudes.

The night's banquet was not only for the Hokage and some of the high-ranking people, but also for the ninjas of the entire village, and the venue was set up in the clearing above the Shadow Rock, which had been set up before the people from the front line returned.

It's a little late, every table is already full of people, minors sit together, adults sit together, push cups and change lamps during the banquet, chatting, the older ones boast to the juniors about their heroic performance on the battlefield, and say that the fog ninja and the rock ninja are the lost dogs, and some people dance when the wine comes up, and some people cry and laugh when the love is strong.

The continuous war has brought nothing but sorrow and suffering to Konoha, and everyone needs such an occasion to vent their inner feelings.

"Really!"

I suddenly heard someone shouting about herself, and turned her head to see that it was Red Bean, and she was sitting with a group of people her age, including Rin, Obito, and Kakashi.

With a glance, he also recognized Maitkai, Shiranui Genma, Asma, Shizune, and Red.

These young men were not allowed to drink and do dinner and talk together.

"Really, do you want to sit here?" Obito also smiled and took the initiative to invite.

"No need, you guys can play." Zhen laughed lightly and refused.

After Zhen left, someone asked who it was, and it seemed to be a little familiar.

Kakashi said at this time, "His name is Hinata Shin, the new head of the Hyuga clan, and he is also the Hokage's assistant. ”

Several teenagers felt a little unbelievable when they heard this, this person looked about the same age as themselves.

"Lynn, he's the one you saved on the battlefield, right?" Red asked Lynn suddenly.

Lin nodded yes, and said that the spell on her body was really lifted.

I really went to the table where Orochimaru was located in the innermost part of the venue, which was full of the heads of major families, and some well-known ninjas, such as Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Mizumon.

"Really, why are you here so late?" Orochimaru was in the main position and said with a light smile.

Zhen Wenyan couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, thinking that you left everything to me, and you still have the face to say that I came late.

"I'm sorry Hokage-sama, something has been delayed."

"This is the true king." Lu Jiu said with a smile.

"Lujiu senior." Really greetings.

"Mako-kun is Hokage-sama's right-hand man," Fugaku said with a smile.

"Fuyue's predecessors have a good reputation."

All of you are adults, and you all have a high status in the village, which really seems a little out of place, and attracts a lot of attention.

I really greeted everyone, and the etiquette was very sufficient, maintaining the posture that the juniors should have.

Unlike other places, there are not so many true feelings revealed at this table, but there is no official business, just some past.

These people may have slightly different political views in the village, but they are all companions of life and death on the battlefield, and most of them are peers except for Zhen, and the atmosphere at the banquet is also very harmonious.

Zilai also drank a little too much, and suddenly began to talk about some of the rhymes of his youth, but it provoked the only female Tsunade present to be furious, and pulled his collar to beat him, and the water gate saw this and hurriedly went to persuade the two.

The rest of the people couldn't help laughing, this kind of behavior would never be able to be done on them, and only people like Tsunade and Jiraiya could be so out of tune, or free and easy.

The topic of the crowd really couldn't be interjected, so he listened carefully, ate at the same time, and dealt with the day's official business, he was really hungry.

Watching others push cups and change glasses, and he can only hold a drink, he can't help but be a little greedy, but he is still a minor.

In the world of Riman, minors can destroy the world and kill people, but they just can't drink.

When the meal was average, he left the table, and he made it look like he was going to vomit several times, but when Shuimen saw this, he hurriedly pulled him to the edge of the mountain wall and vomited.

Tsunade dislikes Jiraiya, this guy doesn't have the appearance of a master, and says that this disciple of the Water Gate is really a blessing he cultivated in his previous life.

The feast lasted late until the villagers came and called their families to go back and rest.

The area was full of alcohol, some people were already asleep on the table, and some people were talking nonsense.

As the bustle subsides, the top of Shadow Rock begins to become deserted, leaving only a mess.

I really didn't leave, but sat alone on the rock statue of Orochimaru and blew the evening breeze.

Under the street lamp, the people who went away in groups of three and two, walked and staggered, humming rhythmic tunes together, accompanied by laughter and angry scolding.

The waning moon hangs alone, kissing the peaceful village below, and a few dog barks can be heard from time to time, as if it is a distant and hazy dream.
