Chapter 252: Today is a day for celebration

The celebration began on schedule.

With the exception of the Hyuga Clan ninja, almost all the free Konoha ninja attended the celebration.

Numerous Konoha ninja looked proudly at the messengers from Kumogakure, because not only was it a very profitable peace treaty for Konoha, but in fact, Kumogakure could not stand the pressure and was forced to bow its head in front of them.

Yeruashi, wearing the Hokage hat and cloak, strolled around the festive plaza, surrounded by the Shadow Guards, Rin and the others.

Wherever he went, whether it was the gathering place of the Uchiha Clan, other clans or civilian ninja, everyone immediately approached Yeruashi and bowed respectfully to him.

Many girls actively waved their hands and loudly greeted Yeruashi, hoping to attract his attention, their big beautiful eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.

"How is the Fourth Raikage?"

After a while, under the gaze of numerous Konoha ninja, Yeruashi approached the group of envoys from Kumogakure and turned to their leader with a faint smile.

Although Yeruashi did not emit any impulse at all and did not show a fierce look, but instead smiled softly, the dozen Kumo ninja present still felt an extremely strong pressure.

This is the Fifth Hokage!

A man called the Ninja God, just like the legendary Senju Hashirama in the past!

"I thank Hokage-sama for his concern, Raikage-sama is fine!"

The ninja leader of Kumogakure, bowed to Yeruashi.

Yeruashi looked at him and said with a smile, "Ah, during the last meeting, we were not yet Kage.... I heard that the esteemed Fourth Raikage trained hard and wanted revenge, but, unfortunately, the opportunity never came."

The leading ninja of Kumogakure froze, not knowing how to respond to these words of the Fifth Hokage.

But Yeruashi laughed, as if they were completely random words, and said, "I hope you like it in Konoha."

After saying that, he turned around and walked in a different direction.

As he looked at Yeruashi's back leaving, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the leader of the Kumogakure ninja, he looked at his comrades and swallowed saliva nervously.

From the moment they arrived in Konoha until the moment they met the legendary Fifth Hokage, they felt nothing but intense pressure and nervousness from start to finish.

Now every ninja in Konoha radiates confidence in the strength of the people and faith in the Fifth Hokage.

This is not the same Konoha from the anime, which survived Orochimaru's defection, lost the Fourth Hokage and is under the control of the former Third Hokage.

Under Yeruashi's leadership, they did not take a single step back during the Third Ninja World War, which forced Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure and Sunagakure, the four Great Ninja Villages, to obediently bow their heads and begin peace negotiations.

Moreover, in the past two years, Konoha and the Fire Country had absorbed a considerable amount of small ninja countries and villages.

Seeing all this, many Konoha ninja felt that Konoha was invincible!

Therefore, upon encountering the ninja of another Great Village, the ninja of Konoha unintentionally radiated confidence and raised their heads high, and this was a natural behavior, backed by the power of Konoha.

"..."

The mood of the messengers sent from Kumogakure was extremely heavy.

But suddenly, one of them noticed something unusual, he quickly approached the leader and whispered in his ear, "Captain, we still haven't seen a single member of the Hyuga Clan, it seems that they didn't come to the celebration at all."

"Really?"

The ninja leader of Kumogakure, was surprised.

He looked around carefully and didn't really find any member of the Hyuga Clan that should have stood out strongly with their famous white pupils.

The leader narrowed his eyes and many thoughts went through his head.

This is a celebration of all of Konoha, even the Uchiha Clan is here, but the Hyuga Clan is absent? Is the Hyuga Clan isolated from Konoha?

It is quite possible!

Konoha is now in a period of unprecedented prosperity, including the Uchiha and Hyuga clans that have become too strong and influential, it is no wonder that the superiors of Konoha is now pressuring them.

If this is really the case, then perhaps there is an opportunity to make a move....

...

The celebration continued late into the night.

Yeruashi attended during the day.

He greeted all the clans of Konoha, spoke with the civilian ninja and soon left the celebration.

The reason for leaving early was quite simple. When the streets of Konoha became crowded and chaotic after the official part of the celebration ended, Yeruashi began to feel many fierce female eyes on him.

Yeruashi had a premonition that there might be an 'assassination attempt' if he didn't leave right now....

Although he can handle any 'unforeseen' circumstances with the help of the time reversal skill, but as the Fifth Hokage, he can't spoil his majestic and noble image!

At home, everything was ready for dinner, but as Yeruashi sat down at the table and picked up his chopsticks, Kurenai suddenly entered the room, dressed in a thin short dress.

She sat down at the table, smiled warmly and handed Yeruashi a glass of red wine.

Yeruashi shook his head and said, "Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol."

Kurenai also took the glass, smiled and said softly, "Today is a celebration in honor of the end of the Third Ninja World War...so you can make an exception, right?"

Yeruashi thought for a moment and glanced at Kurenai's room out of the corner of his eye.

The door was slightly ajar, and in the narrow entrance, a pair of eyes could be seen in the darkness, radiating emotion.

The owner of those eyes was undoubtedly Anko.

These two...

Yeruashi sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, but just for today."

Kurenai smiled captivatingly, raised her glass and began to drink slowly, but suddenly her fingers 'accidentally' twitched and the wine spilled, moistening her chest.

"Ah..."

Kurenai lowered her glass in confusion and looked at Yeruashi, a strange light flickered in the depths of her eyes.

But at that moment, the door opened and Rin entered the living room.

Seeing what was happening, she first became very wary and then smiled mysteriously, "What are you doing here? Minors are forbidden to drink alcohol..."

Crack...

Anko, who was hiding in Kurenai's room, slapped her forehead with her hand and shook her head helplessly.

Why did this happen now!

Seeing Rin, Kurenai stiffened a little, but she didn't panic, she smiled calmly and said, "Today on a day to celebrate, I can make an exception."

Rin shook her head, smiled and said, "But don't you know that minors don't usually know how to drink?"

Kurenai bowed his head and said, "You came back so quickly, have all the matters with the messengers from Kumogakure been settled yet?"

"I asked Kakashi for help."

Rin smiled sweetly.

When Rin and Kurenai's gazes met, Yeruashi felt vaguely saw lightning and sparks between them.
