Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

These were the messengers from the Hidden Cloud Village that they had been waiting for.

Those who can be sent out are at least jonin.

So the distance that seemed quite long at first took only a few minutes for the messengers from the Hidden Cloud Village to arrive in front of Kagura and the others.

Among them, Hajime Suginoh, as a representative, walked at the front of the team.

Washino Ichi’s image is very consistent with Kagura’s previous imagination.

He is of medium build, with an upright posture, exuding confidence and steadiness.

Time has left some traces on his face, and he looks to be in his forties.

His skin is slightly dark, bearing the marks of time and experience.

The facial contours are clear and the slightly raised eyebrows give people a sharp feeling.

His eyes were deep, but just a fleeting gloomy look in them made people feel their depth.

The goatee under the chin gives people a shrewd but not easy to mess with first impression.

When he saw Kagura who was also at the front, he was stunned at first, then he smiled warmly.

After taking two quick steps forward, he took the initiative to hold Kagura’s hands and said, like an old friend who had not seen each other for many years:

“Isn’t this the famous Lord Kagura of Konoha?

I have heard of your reputation in battle with Uchiha Madara.

To be honest, I have been wanting to meet you for a long time.

I didn’t expect this day to come so soon.”

At this moment, Kagura was no longer as depressed as before. He just smiled and said in an enthusiastic voice:

“No, no, in front of you, Master Suginohama, I am just a junior.

There are many things I still need to learn from you.”

Minato and Hiashi on the side looked at the two people in amazement as if they were old friends reuniting, and then glanced at each other secretly.

It was also the first time for them to see Teacher Kagura like this. At this moment, it was as if they were seeing two sinister old foxes performing in front of them.

As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two of them tacitly withdrew their hands from each other.

As Kagura extended her hand and invited them, the two groups officially walked towards the Konoha Village.

Chapter 115 What are they going to do?

In Konoha Village, both sides of Konoha Street were already crowded with villagers who had been waiting for a long time.

I have to say that although Minato and Hiashi are still young, their arrangements this time were indeed sufficient.

Hanging directly above the street were banners welcoming the envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village.

The street they were walking on had already been cleared, with banners hung early on to separate the villagers who came to watch from the delegation.

But even so, it couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of the Konoha villagers.

Wherever the delegation passed, large pieces of colorful flowers and ribbons fluttered by, and the villagers’ enthusiastic cheers were heard everywhere.

Although this is an era of hero worship.

But from a civilian’s perspective, who would like war?

In their view, peace is the best life.

So when they learned that the delegation from the Hidden Cloud Village came to sign a peace agreement, the villagers showed their utmost enthusiasm.

Seeing people cheering loudly on both sides of the street, Suginoh was stunned at first.

Then he immediately put on a bright smile and raised his hand to greet the people on both sides.

Seeing Washino Ichi’s performance at this time, it was as if he was really a peace messenger.

Kagura came up to him, and while greeting the people on both sides, she whispered to Washino:

“It seems that most people still like peace.

I sincerely hope that this peace agreement can be signed smoothly.”

As if he hadn’t heard the hidden meaning behind his words, Suginohichi replied with a warm smile:

“Of course, we all wish the same.”

Kagura looked at him deeply, but unfortunately, she didn’t see anything in his eyes.

He paused and returned to the Konoha delegation leading the way.

But what he didn’t notice was that when Washino looked at the Konoha delegation in front of him, a meaningful look flashed across his eyes.

The mission’s procedures had been set long in advance.

Today, after the envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village arrive in Konoha Village and receive the villagers’ welcome ceremony, they will be taken directly to the inn specially prepared for them.

In order to show respect to these envoys, the entire inn was emptied and only the people from the Hidden Cloud Village stayed there.

However, there were not many people coming this time, only six people in total including Kamisakino Hajime.

It is relatively convenient to arrange.

As for the next process, during the day today, a reception group represented by Kagura will take these people to visit Konoha Village.

Including places like Ninja Academy, Hokage Mountain, etc.

Of course, these attractions and displays were specially selected.

It’s the kind of place where Konoha’s information will never be leaked.

After having dinner with these people this evening, we will invite them back to the hotel.

By tomorrow morning, they will sign a peace agreement with Sarutobi Hiruzen on the podium of the Hokage Building, under the gaze of all the villagers.

The mission of these delegations then came to an end and they could return home.

Since he guessed that these people’s target might be Uzumaki Kushina, Sarutobi Hiruzen had naturally made arrangements for this.

As early as yesterday, a group of Anbu were arranged to take Kushina to a hidden place.

Even Kagura doesn’t know where Kushina is now.

Speaking of which, in order to protect Kushina, the Konoha high-level officials have intentionally reduced the number of her missions outside over the years.

From Konoha’s perspective, they would rather have her become the next Uzumaki Mito.

I don’t ask to use the Nine-Tailed Fox, as long as I can seal it safely.

But even so, the feelings between Minato and Kushina have grown over the years.

Tsunade, who is the only relative of Kushina in Konoha Village, often discusses Minato with Kushina.

Tsunade also expressed a certain degree of satisfaction towards Minato, the child she had watched grow up.

She even took the initiative to assist from time to time to create conditions for the two of them to fall in love.

With their current relationship, they can just wait until they are at the right age to get married.

Let’s get back to the mission.

In the following process, Kagura took the initiative to step behind the people and let Minato stand out.

As the real planner of this reception group, Minato took the people of the Hidden Cloud Village to visit many attractions in Konoha Village according to the plan.

Washino Hajime also cooperated well and played the role of a tourist. While listening to Minato’s explanation, he admired everything in Konoha.

In such a wonderful atmosphere, everyone quickly finished their day’s activities.

For convenience, tonight’s dinner to welcome these delegations will be arranged in the hotel where they are staying.

Minato simply cleared out the first floor of the hotel and temporarily built a banquet room.

Since the signing ceremony had to be carried out early the next morning, no alcoholic beverages were arranged at tonight’s banquet.

But even so, after a day of getting along, the initial unfamiliarity between everyone was gone and they became much more familiar with each other.

The makeshift banquet hall was filled with the sounds of people’s enthusiastic discussions, and the atmosphere of the entire dinner was lively.

It seems that everyone is looking forward to the coming of peace.

Kagura, on the other hand, was holding a glass of juice drink, standing silently in the corner, looking at the people in front of her.

A figure suddenly walked over. It was Hajime Shoguno, who was also holding a drink.

He still had that familiar smile on his face. After coming to Kagura, he raised his cup and gestured to him before speaking:

“Lord Kagura, it’s so late, why don’t you go back home?

I heard that you are a very family-oriented man. “

Kagura also raised the cup in her hand and said in a joking tone:

“It seems that you have investigated me very clearly.”

“No, no, for a person like you, this level of understanding is inevitable.

We have no ill intentions.

By the way, when I came here, the village chief asked me to say hello to you.”

Thinking of that strange friend, Kagura also smiled.

He raised his cup and took a sip, then turned to look at Suginohichi and said:

“Thanks for his regards.

Speaking of your question, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back today.”

“Oh?”

“Due to the Hokage’s request, our delegation will also stay with you in this inn tonight.

After all, you are Konoha’s most important guests, and it is our responsibility to protect your safety.

So, I’ll stay here all night tonight.

Of course, to cooperate with my work.
