Chapter 154 Konoha, I'm back again!
Chapter 154 Konoha, I'm back again!
"However, in the ninja world's perception, you are already dead. If you were to appear directly in front of everyone, it might cause some unnecessary trouble. So I prepared this for you."
As he spoke, Tetsuya took out a bundle.
Lin took the bundle with some curiosity, opened it, and found a black robe and a light-colored mask inside.
"mask?"
Lin picked up the mask with some curiosity and put it on her face. Suddenly, she blurted out something out of the blue.
"There is no hope, no light, only despair..."
"Pfft, hahahaha!"
Zhe couldn't help but laugh.
"Lin, where did you learn that phrase?"
"Isn't this the kind of strange thing you used to mutter to yourself when you were bored, teacher? I remembered one or two of those phrases after hearing it so many times."
"Okay, okay, what else did you remember?"
"Hmm, and there's more. My favorite is this one, cough cough hmm."
Lin lowered her voice and said.
"What's the point of this power if it's not meant to protect those who should be protected?"
Tetsuya couldn't help but applaud Rin.
"Good, well said. Rin, if you ever have the chance to meet that Uchiha clan rogue ninja in the future, use this sentence to teach him a lesson."
"Okay, Master, I've got it."
Obito: ? ? ? ? ? Using my lines to lecture me? Are you serious?
"Come on, extend your right hand."
"Right hand? Okay."
Lin extended her fair right hand.
Tetsuya waved his hand and left a mark on the back of Rin's hand; this was the Flying Thunder God Mark.
Lin found the mark quite novel.
"Master, what is this?"
Although she knew that her teacher Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique, she had never seen the Flying Thunder God Mark and did not recognize what it was.
"This is your proof of returning to the ninja world. Now, do you want to go back and take one last look at Konoha?"
"Really? Can I go back to Konoha now?"
"of course."
"That's great, thank you so much, Master."
While excited, Rin did not forget Tetsuya's instructions, and put on a black robe and mask.
"Get ready, I'm going to take you back to being a ninja."
Tetsuya waved his hand, and the surrounding space began to fluctuate.
When Rin turned around again, they were already on Kikyo Mountain, in the same spot where Tetsuya and the others had watched the play last time.
"This is Kikyo Mountain. I'm really back."
"Let's go check out Konoha."
After the great war ended and the Fourth Hokage took office, the entire Hidden Leaf Village began to rebuild, and construction began on the portrait of the Fourth Hokage on the Hokage Rock.
As for the rest, there haven't been any major changes.
After taking one last look at Konoha, Rin was quite satisfied.
After returning to the Weasel Grave, Tetsuya inquired.
"Lin, so, what are your thoughts after seeing all this?"
"Thoughts?"
Lin took off her mask and thought about it seriously for a while.
"It's so good to be alive, Master. I want to live on, to go back to the ninja world, to live."
"I'm glad you think that way. It seems that taking you back to see the world was the right thing to do. Train hard. When you can successfully control the power within you and become partners with Isobu, perhaps you can truly return to the ninja world."
"I understand, Master. I will try my best."
"Keep going, Lin, I believe in you."
As the days went by, the Akatsuki organization began to become active in the ninja world, recruiting many powerful S-rank rogue ninjas.
Interestingly, a person wearing a yellow swirling mask, who called himself Afei, applied to join the Akatsuki organization.
At first, Nagato and the others thought that Tetsuya was up to something again, wanting to join their new Akatsuki organization to have some fun.
However, after seeing this Tobi in person, they realized that it was not Tetsuya. Nagato immediately recognized him as none other than Obito.
Clearly, he has no intention of giving up Nagato, or rather, he cannot give up Nagato in order to realize the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Without Nagato's Rinnegan, all his plans would be in vain.
After discussion among Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, it was ultimately decided that Obito would join the new Akatsuki organization as an intern.
They understood that Obito wouldn't easily give up on getting close to Nagato, so they simply kept him in front of them to know his movements, which made them feel more at ease.
Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if they had no idea what Obito was up to in the shadows.
As the days went by, the wounds inflicted by the war gradually healed with the passage of time.
Under Tetsuya's planning, the Land of Grass began to develop step by step, and at the same time, with the arrangements of Yahiko and others, the relationship between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain became increasingly close.
At the same time, Tetsuya also began to make further plans.
Tetsuya, in his capacity as the Daimyo of the Land of Grass, sent a letter of invitation to Konoha, saying that he planned to return to Konoha and invest a small amount of money in the village.
Although it was a small amount of money, everyone in Konoha knew that it was probably a considerable sum.
Although the person has not yet arrived, the Konoha leadership has already begun to take action, holding various meetings and discussions.
At the entrance of Konoha Village, led by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, followed by Konoha's high-ranking officials and the leaders of various clans, a group of people gathered outside the village gates to await the arrival of Tetsuya Chiba.
The last time they went to such lengths was during the Third Hokage's era, well, the last time they welcomed Chiba Tetsuya was also back then.
However, there are still some differences between the two. After all, no matter how wealthy Chiba was back then, he was just a rich businessman.
But things are different now. Chiba Tetsuya is now the daimyo of the Land of Grass. When a daimyo comes to their Konoha Village, they naturally have to show the proper attitude.
"coming!"
The Hyuga clan ninjas on the watchtower saw a large convoy heading towards Konoha from afar.
"All departments, prepare to welcome the Daimyo of the Land of Grass!"
The honor guard, which had been prepared in advance, also perked up.
As the convoy approached, a burst of fireworks shot into the sky, bursting into bloom, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums.
To welcome the great lord, the proper pomp and circumstance must be displayed.
The convoy slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Konoha Village. The lead carriage turned around to make way, and the main carriage in the center stepped forward. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a large belly stepped out.
"Haha, everyone from Konoha, it's been a long time."
"Welcome, Daimyo Chiba Tetsuya of the Land of Grass, to Konoha Village! Let's give him a round of applause!"
The Konoha high-ranking officials and ninja clan representatives applauded enthusiastically, their applause thunderous and impressive.
"Haha, you're too kind. I used to work at Konoha Hospital too. There's no need for such a grand ceremony."
Minato, dressed in the robes of the Fourth Hokage, stepped forward and extended an invitation.
"Greetings, Daimyo. I am Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. It is an honor to meet you today."
