As I was walking towards the outer gate of Konoha to leave for Iwagakure, I saw Reina talking to a fruit vendor on the side of the road.
As I was about to go to him, I hesitated and stayed in my place. My father noticed the strangeness in me and looked where I was looking.
"So you really like this girl. Reina is the younger sister of Hyuga Hiashi and Hishishi. Her mother died while giving birth to that girl and her father died when she was two. She's a Hyuga girl who was sort of raised by her siblings."
"Have you researched it?"
"Of course, in the Hyuga clan, it is not normal for someone other than Hishishi to not have the caged bird seal. As far as I know, Hiashi and Hiashi have jointly decided not to seal Reina."
"I understand. Anyway, walk towards the door and I'll catch up with you."
While my father and the white crow on his shoulder were heading towards the door, I started to approach Reina. When there was 10 meters between me and Reina, I felt some crack on the ground and then Reina turned around and smiled at me.
"Eren-san, it's been a long time since we met. Even I heard about what you did in Iwagakure."
I felt a deep pain as I looked at the forehead protector draped over Reina's eyes. If you want, I could use my idle transfiguration ability to make her see again, but if Reina couldn't resist my cursed energy, I wouldn't know what would happen to Reina from now on. Maybe she would turn into a scary creature
And for some reason I couldn't use the idle transfiguration ability on the same soul over and over again.
"It hasn't been that long, a week or so."
"Hahaha, you are very funny, Eren-san, aren't you?"
Looking at Reina's facial expression, my instincts told me I gave the wrong answer.
"Of course I am, anyway, now I'm going to make the final move to end the war."
"Really? What about the future? Do you think there will be war again in the future?"
As Reina said her last words, she took a step closer to me and held my hands. Looking at his current state, I couldn't bear to tell him that it was inevitable that there would be wars again in the future.
"I will be such a powerful ninja that no village will dare to start a war in the future, don't worry."
When Reina heard my words, she smiled and came closer to me, standing on her tiptoes.
While I was confusedly waiting for him to do that thing, Reina hesitated and stepped back.
"Anyway, I will give you a special thank you after the war is over."
"Ohh I see"
After speaking a few last sentences with Reina, I went to my father and the white crow who were waiting for me at the outer gate of Konoha.
When I went there I met a person I didn't expect to be there
"It's been a long time Minato"
"That's right, it's been a long time Eren"
" Why are you here "
While I was talking to Minato, my father intervened and said that Minato would accompany us on this mission.
"In case something goes wrong during the mission, Minato will come with us and in case of an emergency, he will evacuate us with the Flying Thunder God technique."
"Was this really necessary?"
"This is the hokage's order, Eren"
It made me a little happy that my father wasn't the one who didn't trust my strength, and I didn't insist on it any further.
After the registration process, which took a few minutes, we all set off towards Kumogakure.
----------- (iwagakure, hokage building, meeting room, 3 days ago)
"Tsuchikage-sama, we are waiting for you to give an explanation to us, the Kamizuru clan, why you gave up on killing such a dangerous person. Moreover, everyone saw that he was still a child, who knows what kind of powerhouse he will become in the future."
A jonin named taiseki, sitting at one of the corners of the meeting table, let out a condescending laugh and then began speaking.
"Kamizuru clan, hehehe, are there any of you still alive?"
" What are you saying "
"What are you really saying?"
Ōnoki looked at the two men half-climbed over the meeting table, shouting at each other, and frowned, slamming his hand on the table.
"That's enough, both of you, shut up, rōshi, do you have anything to say?"
The one-armed man sitting at the other end of the table was listening to the conversation much more quietly than before. When he heard Ōnoki's voice, Rōshi reacted as if he had just woken up from sleep and looked around in surprise.
"Rōshi, are you okay?"
"Rōshi-sama, is there something wrong with you? You look so lifeless "
Everyone sitting at the meeting table looked at Rōshi, who looked sick.
"Ahh, don't worry, I still have many years to live, but for some reason I'm very distracted these days, if I don't do anything for two minutes, I immediately fall asleep with my eyes open."
ōnoki showed a thoughtful appearance with rōshi's words
"Rōshi, just in case, go to the hospital after the meeting and get yourself checked out."
" Ok "
Ōnoki became even more confident in his prediction when he saw that Rōshi immediately accepted his offer instead of being stubborn with him as usual.
"First of all, you all must have misunderstood one thing, I did not have the upper hand in my fight with Eren Shimura. The punch I threw to knock him down was a punch that I hit with anger, investing almost all my chakra into the aggravation technique. And that strange speaking technique, if the battle had gone on, I would have definitely lost."
For a while, everyone in the meeting room remained silent, trying to digest what ōnoki had said.
"But you also know that he is the person who killed your son."
"Firstly, there is no conclusive evidence that he is the person responsible for the death of my son. Secondly, as I said before, if I want to defeat him, I should not prepare a powerful trap in advance. Thirdly, by making peace with him, we both put an end to this overly long war and prevented a terrible disaster from happening to the raikage." "we caused trouble"
"But this last thing you said will only happen if Eren Shimura really defeats the 3rd Raikage."
"If there really is a fight, Eren will win"
Finally, an old ninja at the table stood up and shouted at ōnoki.
"How can you be so sure about that?"
"His eyes, I've seen those eyes before. A person's eyes never lie, he was clearly toying with me. Even when I hit him with the aggravation technique, what was in his eyes wasn't fear, it was just hesitation, a hesitation as to whether or not to unleash his true power. That's what dissuaded me from fighting." "It was these eyes. His eyes reminded me of Madara."
Everyone in the meeting room knew about the incident between ōnoki and Madara, so no one objected and after a while of silence, the meeting ended.
