Naturally, it is impossible for the huge Konoha Village to have only the Mizuto family and Kakashi celebrate the New Year, and in the familiar restaurant, the familiar Sannin once again got together.

Looking at the night sky that was constantly lit with fireworks and causing cheers, Sannin was also a rare reunion, with sumptuous New Year's dishes in front of him, leaning against the edge of the window and looking at the increasingly prosperous Konoha village.

After all, Kato Due's identity is more sensitive, and although it is very regrettable in the grand atmosphere of the New Year, it can only let Kato Break himself watch the black teeth in the biology research room, and then Tsunade and the other two ninjas wait for the New Year in the restaurant.

Compared to the deserted appearance at the border last year, Konoha is undoubtedly happy now. No matter what definite words are used to embellished the falsity of this peace, the smiles on people's faces are not deceiving. People don't know anything about the things at the top, and they just need to live their lives well.

And in this prosperous area, Sannin, who was eating New Year's dishes and waiting for Chinese New Year's Eve, sat in the private room of the restaurant, and also began to sigh about their own life circumstances.

In the New Year, I always discuss my achievements and difficulties in the past year, even if it is at the level of three ninjas.

"Cheers! Celebrate that we are alive again in the new year! ”

Zilai was also very enthusiastic, raised his wine glass, looked at the two people in front of him, and showed a bright smile.

"Don't be embarrassed! It's New Year! Just have a drink and go on this day without worry! ”

“…… The Institute of Biology was closed three days ago, right? ”

"My experiment team was also three days ago."

"Huh? Is it only me, the executive department, who has a holiday today? ”

"That's about it."

"It's not fair! Our executive department is tired and tired every day, why do you have holidays earlier than us? It shouldn't be! ”

"If you can write an answer to our current topic, we'd love to pass it on to you. At present, several projects have bottlenecks. ”

"Forget it, then. I can't understand your high-quality things. ”

Faced with Orochimaru's smiling statement, Jilai waved his hand again and again, and his face was shocked.

There was no discussion of the strategic planning between the ninja world and each other, nor did it discuss any world crisis or anything like that.

As if all those things had become some kind of past, with the efforts of a group of people to maintain them, an invisible umbrella was built on top of Konoha so that they could enjoy the happiness that belonged to them.

Not only them, but also the civilians and other ninjas are trying their best to find their own happiness in this short period of peace.

Jiraiya looked at the somewhat excited Tsunade in front of him, and looked out of the window with some discomfort. As if it was some kind of attraction, the bright red and yellow hair in the crowd made Jiraiya see his good disciple and his wife at a glance.

And Kakashi Hagi, who followed them like a floating spirit with a resentful face.

"Oh? Isn't that Mizumon Kushina over there, and Kakashina the kid? ”

"Do you want to ask them to come up and eat together?"

"Forget it."

Tsunade looked at Kushina, who was dressed in full costume, and Mizuto, who was holding his palm tightly beside her, and shook his head with some envy.

"The little couple is over there, why did you call them over? Kakashi could have called it. I saw him look uncomfortable. ”

"Don't, otherwise I'll be scolded by him again and say why don't you go to experiment with the immortal mode at this time, but come here to eat. I want to have a good New Year, too. ”

"Then you'd better work with Kakashi. He has come straight to me several times to ask for additional live experiment materials, so you should take your own responsibility. ”

"Aha...... I'm sorry. ”

Facing Tsunade's somewhat disdainful gaze, Jiraiya laughed and hid his embarrassed appearance.

And Orochimaru looked at the two friends in front of him who were arguing with each other, and also smiled shallowly, took a sip of sake, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

In the past six months, not only has their lives changed dramatically, but the lives of all the upper ninjas, family ninjas, and ordinary ninjas have become completely different from usual with all kinds of things.

Tsunade was completely excluded from the scope of Konoha's top-level combat power because of his phobia and scientific research strength, and was instead regarded as the leader of the Konoha Human Science Research Team. And Orochimaru also has very high research skills, and is responsible for several projects related to soul and body transformation.

Jiraiya was a bitter haha at the beginning, and the three ninjas were left alone to fight fires everywhere to deal with the ninjas in other ninja villages who used very rough static blood suits and blood suits. But with the strategic confrontation going on thoroughly, there is no need to be a firefighter anymore. And because of his experience in the immortal mode and combat, coupled with his own strong requirements, he was finally included in the executive department.

Then he became a direct subordinate of Kakashi, the leader of the development team of the blood suit static blood suit.

It sounds bizarre, but it's actually very bizarre. In a way, Jiraiya was really avoiding Kakashi, and Kakashi became very angry because of it.

Because to a large extent, the research and development of the blood suit and the static blood suit require real-time feedback for detailed calculations, Kakashi is also a serious developer, and when he sees the ambiguous data back, the evil fire rises from the inside of his bones, which causes him to dare not face Kakashi directly.

Occasionally, you can even see an angry Kakashi with a bloody stripe on his face, and he runs a few miles in a rage chasing Jiraiya, who is also in immortal mode.

But over time, everyone has become accustomed to it, and from a certain point of view, it has become a memory of youth.

The above is said by Jiraiya himself, and Kakashi Hachiki has no opinion on it.

"But Jiraiya, as an adult, you should take your own responsibility, right? It's not okay to keep avoiding Kakashi. ”

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, who had an embarrassed face, and sighed as he picked up his wine glass.

"Kakashi's kid really wants to make a career, you always treat him like this, be careful that he will hold a grudge in the future. That kid actually had quite a terrible talent. ”

"I know that too, but I'm also the same generation as you, right? Listening to the words of a seven or eight-year-old child to do this and that, and occasionally put on a posture of shame or something, it is still a little ...... Huh? ”

"I don't think there's anything to worry about. After all, the three of us had been listening to the instructions of a twenty-year-old, oh no, it should have been a twenty-one-year-old from beginning to end. And even to some extent, isn't the whole of Konoha listening to him? There's nothing wrong with listening to Kakashi-kun. ”

"That's different, Aizen is Aizen, Kakashi is Kakashi."

Zilai also waved his hand, and his words to himself were a divine cut.

What indigo dye is different, how can Konoha's white moonlight be compared to Kakashi and the like, causing the other two to laugh for a while.

But that's exactly what it is. As the new year passes, the importance of Aizen in Konoha has changed from the original Optimus Pillar to an indispensable air level.

It's not even an exaggeration to say that if this clerical maniac has a whim one day, like Jiraiya, he wants to find the so-called true meaning of life, then all the administrative departments of Konoha will be suspended for more than a week.

"Speaking of which, where the hell did Aizen go?"

Taking a sip of his wine glass, Tsunade thought for a moment and suddenly asked:

"Shouldn't there be a bunch of people looking for him at this time? At that time last year, I remember correctly, there were almost a dozen people who followed him, right? ”

"I don't know. He said that he found something he cared about, and then he didn't know where he had gone. Instead, he left the old man with a New Year's speech, and the related things were also left. ”

Orochimaru shook his head, glanced at Tsunade and Jiraiya with some subtlety, closed his eyes and sighed.

"But there's no problem, after all, there's a bunch of shadows with you."

"That's right. But sure enough, I still envy people like Ai Zhan, who looks powerful and has a good personality, obviously much younger than us, but he looks like a big man, and he feels more comfortable with orders than three generations of old men. ”

Jiraiya looked at the crowd that began to emerge outside into the square, preparing for the countdown to the New Year, sighed, and put a few grilled sausages into his bowl.

"It's a bit of a contradiction, but sometimes I always wonder if Aizen can take over Konoha directly? In addition to his strength, this person doesn't seem to have any shortcomings at all, right? ”

“……”

“……”

"Why are you two coughing?"

Looking at his two friends who were coughing frantically as if they had choked, he asked a little strangely.

However, the two traitors still had a trace of kindness in their hearts, so much so that they didn't directly say to Jiraiya that the entire Konoha had almost fallen, but took care of him left and right, and quickly shifted Jiraiya's attention to other places.

And as time passed, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, the people in the square began to shout neatly at the huge numbers projected by ninjutsu in mid-air.

The countdown to the New Year has begun, and looking at the huge number, Zilai immediately had a little enthusiasm, stood up and looked at the square and shouted:

"Hopefully this year will be even better! I want to be the most famous hero in the ninja world! ”

"I just hope that the experimental materials will not be tired of being dead and alive anymore, and it is really hard to inject anesthetics......"

"I don't particularly want anything in my words, so let's make a wish for world peace."

The sound of the three ninjas did not cause much commotion, and at the same time, there were countless ninjas and villagers who shouted and made wishes to the sky.

In the midst of a jubilant sound, with the last magnificent fireworks and ninjutsu blooming in the sky, the year's journey has finally come to an end, allowing the ninja world to usher in the beginning of the next year.

This is the first time since the death of Konoha Hatsuyome that there have not been many deaths.

In the forty-fourth year of the Konoha calendar, the hidden village was prosperous, and there was no war.
