Konoha Village, your commander is back!
Looking at Konoha so close, Yuuki was also a bit impatient.
"Konoha Ninja up ahead, please give this Old Man a ride."
At this moment, a voice came from behind the group. Everyone turned to look and saw an Old Man of considerable age, panting and lying on the ground.
He looked like he was bowing for New Year's greetings.
Some kind-hearted Konoha Ninja went up to help him.
"Old Man, are you going to Konoha to issue a mission?"
"Ah, thank you. This Old Man is originally from Konoha. Now I just want to return to Konoha. Please give me a ride."
He then raised his head, thanking the helpful Konoha Ninja.
The Konoha Ninja's expression immediately changed. Damn it! Isn't this that slacker!
Then he let go of his supporting arm, and the poor Old Man once again bowed deeply to everyone.
Yuuki had also clearly seen the Old Man's face just now.
He walked directly closer, a very kind smile on his face.
"Yo! Isn't this our Advisor Yan? What a coincidence."
Yuuki then helped Homura Mitokado up, looking at the Konoha Ninja from earlier.
"How could you be so careless? Advisor Yan made significant contributions in the war against Hidden Mist."
"Oops! My hand slipped!"
Immediately, Homura Mitokado bowed deeply again.
Yuuki was actually very curious why he saw Homura Mitokado here. Wasn't he sent to Jiraiya's side?
Did this old geezer desert in battle?
Homura Mitokado's heart was incredibly bitter at this moment.
Not long ago, he was a noble Konoha Advisor. From the sixty-year-old Hokage down to six-year-old Little Brats, there was no one he couldn't scold, and no one he dared not scold.
Until that day he met Uchiha Tomoki at a meeting and was continuously humiliated.
Even more, a few days later, he became a member of Konoha's vanguard unit fighting against Hidden Mist.
At that time, Homura Mitokado had countless curses he wanted to unleash on Hiruzen Sarutobi and Uchiha Tomoki.
During the subsequent rapid march, Uchiha Tomoki, that hateful Little Brat, showed no consideration for this Old Man.
What was even more infuriating was that upon arriving there, they encountered a Hidden Mist attack. Homura Mitokado, whose Chakra was nearly depleted, could only secretly hide and wait for the attack to end.
Then Uchiha Tomoki, that hateful fellow, even wanted to counter-ambush!
Homura Mitokado participated in the third wave of the ambush, always timidly hiding at the back of the team.
Finally, he found a prey in the Kirigakure Camp, a seemingly numb teenager.
He mechanically formed hand signs, and the Water Formation Wall he released was only the size of a washbasin.
Homura Mitokado, seeing an opportunity, was very excited. He used the few remaining Chakra in his Shadow Clone to unleash a powerful strike.
Fire Release: Great Fireball!
The fireball directly engulfed the teenager. Homura Mitokado, seeing this scene, laughed like a child, and then disappeared with a 'bang'.
Due to insufficient Chakra, the Shadow Clone automatically disappeared.
And Homura Mitokado, on his way back to camp, smiled happily after receiving the information from his Shadow Clone.
Although Homura Mitokado's strength was not great, he still had insight and naturally understood the brilliance of Yuuki's three ambushes.
The next day, under Uchiha Tomoki's leadership, they directly launched a frontal assault on the Kirigakure Camp.
Homura Mitokado, feeling that the situation was not good, decided it was better to be cautious and quietly walked at the back of the team.
Then, Homura Mitokado saw an unbelievable scene: the entire world was a fiery red, with flames obscuring the sky.
Homura Mitokado had heard tales of the First Hokage and Madara since childhood, but had never seen them fight at full power.
He had only speculated about the great power possessed by the First Hokage and Madara based on his own powerful teacher.
Looking at the figure in the sky, like a God of Fire descending to earth, he couldn't help but think of those two legendary figures.
From that moment on, all of Homura Mitokado's disdain for Yuuki, all the resentment caused by humiliation, all vanished into thin air.
All that remained was regret for having once mocked the other party, and fear that welled up from the bottom of his heart.
That evening, upon learning that some Jonin were needed at the Grass Country border, Homura Mitokado unhesitatingly joined them.
It was another rapid march, even faster than the previous one, but Homura Mitokado was filled with motivation.
He was finally leaving that devil. Jiraiya was in charge over there now.
As Hiruzen's disciple, he should at least give this Old Man some face. Good days were beckoning Homura Mitokado.
Arriving at the new camp, Homura Mitokado, who felt he had learned the essence of ambushing from Yuuki, went directly to Jiraiya and spoke voluminously.
Jiraiya looked at the Old Man in front of him, whose Chakra reaction was weak, who had no understanding of the situation, and who kept gesticulating, and only felt annoyed.
What's wrong with this Old Man? Why would they send this guy to the front lines???
Jiraiya, unwilling to continue engaging, remained silent. Homura Mitokado, speaking voluminously, became even more animated.
Jiraiya, utterly fed up, no longer wanted to see Homura Mitokado and decided to send him back for his own Old Man to deal with.
Consequently, Homura Mitokado, who had been at the new camp for less than a day, once again packed his bags and set off on his journey back to Konoha.
He imagined the good old days in Konoha, leisurely drinking tea and bragging every day.
With no one urging him, Homura Mitokado used his fastest speed to rush towards Konoha.
Konoha! I'm coming!!
Yuuki, having teased Homura Mitokado for a bit, did not continue to target him. With the help of the earlier Ninja, Homura Mitokado stood up again.
Curious, Yuuki asked with a beaming smile.
"Advisor Yan should be at Jiraiya-senpai's camp, right? Why are you here? Advisor Yan didn't desert in battle, did he?"
Looking at Yuuki's face, which held a kind and sunny smile, Homura Mitokado felt no warmth, only fear.
Homura Mitokado struggled to pull out the scroll signed by Jiraiya from his Pregnant.
"This Old Man is just returning to Konoha for a temporary rest."
Yuuki took the scroll and looked at it, finding no issues, and so let it go.
Then he extended an invitation.
"In that case, how about Advisor Yan returns to Konoha with us?"
Homura Mitokado, as if stimulated by something, miraculously leaped a large step away.
"No! No!"
Looking at the inexplicable Homura Mitokado, Yuuki couldn't understand the reason.
"Then Advisor Yan, please do as you wish."
Homura Mitokado quickly put away the scroll and swiftly left the area, rushing towards Konoha.
At this moment, Homura Mitokado only wanted to quickly find Hiruzen Sarutobi and have himself transferred to the front lines, any unit in any direction would do!
No one can stop me, I will fight for Konoha until death!!
Homura Mitokado's resolve was rising infinitely.
Watching Homura Mitokado's retreating figure, like he was fleeing, Yuuki stroked his chin in thought.
This old geezer definitely has a problem, but what exactly is his goal?
Yuuki thought for a long time but ultimately found no answer.
Forget it, I won't think about it. If this old guy dares to cause trouble again, there are plenty of ways to deal with him!
Yuuki recomposed himself and led the Konoha Ninja back to Konoha.
Shortly after this team entered the Konoha gate, they walked straight towards the Hokage Building.
As an officially dispatched team, they didn't just go their separate ways after returning to Konoha; they had to report to the Hokage first.
Yuuki and the others received a warm welcome from the Konoha Villagers, with countless people spontaneously lining the roadsides to watch them.
As Yuuki and the others passed, people occasionally threw flower petals and streamers, and of course, there were young girls throwing handkerchiefs at Yuuki.
Yuuki recalled the military parade scenes he had seen in his previous life, and then remembered the Fourth Hokage's bright, sunny smile.
Yuuki, with a beaming smile, continuously waved in acknowledgment.
Most of the Ninja in the team were actually unaccustomed to being watched by people.
They always preferred to lurk in unseen corners, silently observing everything.
But no one dislikes genuine cheers and praise from people.
"This feeling is really not bad!"
This was the common sentiment of many Konoha Ninja, and smiles spontaneously appeared on their faces.
At the same time, when they inadvertently glimpsed the figure at the very front of the team, a strong sense of admiration naturally arose.
Naruto, in the crowd, upon seeing Yuuki and the enthusiastic scene around him.
He also picked up the flowers he had originally intended to give Yuuki alone, broke off petals, and threw them towards the middle of the road.
"Yuuki-nii is so popular too, he seems even more amazing than Shisui-nii!"
Naruto looked at Yuuki's figure with affection in his eyes, but more so with envy.
"Eww~ What a fake smile!"
Natsuri in the crowd muttered under her breath as she watched Yuuki, then Mina patted her on the head.
"Natsuri, don't be jealous of your brother!"
After quite some time, Yuuki and the others finally arrived near the Hokage Building.
