five years later

While I was walking through the almost deserted streets of Konoha, an anbu ninja appeared next to me and said that Hokage-sama was calling me and disappeared as quickly as he came.

About 5 years ago, I left the Minato team and started living a life like an ordinary person, of course it is not completely ordinary because I learned many ninjutsu, both low level and high level, during this period.

I muttered to myself, "It's finally time, huh" and I accelerated my steps and started running towards the Hokage building.

------ inside the hokage building

Sarutabi couldn't help but feel sad inside as he looked at Minato and Kakashi duo standing in front of Hiruzen.

With the Cannabi Bridge incident that resulted in Obito's death last year and Rin's disappearance last week, the sunny expression on Minato's face began to disappear over time.

Sarutabi took a deep breath from his pipe, filling the air with smoke.

"Don't worry Minato, I have good news this time."

Minato said, forcing himself to smile.

"I'm fine, the only news I need is to hear that this war is over. This last war caused everyone to suffer a lot, I don't want to watch little children being dragged into the battlefield anymore, so please use me better, Hokage-sama."

While looking at Minato kneeling in front of him, a voice was echoing in Sarutabi's mind, questioning whether what he had done so far was a mistake. Maybe if he hadn't insisted so much on becoming Hokage, all this would never have happened, maybe Minato would still be able to smile like before.

Sarutabi dismissed the thoughts in his head with a slight nod and felt the seat under his ass, which was not as warm as before.

"Don't worry, Minato, I have summoned the person who will be the key to ending this war."

Minato pondered for a while and tried to guess who Sarutabi was talking about. Tsunade left the village last year because she had a fear of blood, Jiraya was waging a war of attrition against the Iwakagure ninjas, and Orochimaru was literally harassing the Sunogakure ninjas. Apart from these, no one came to Minato's mind, and just as he was about to ask Hokage-sama, he heard the sound of the door opening, and before he could react, someone passed by and reached the Hokage.

When Minato saw that there was someone about to reach the Hokage, he quickly tried to stop that person by using the Body Flicker technique.

Minato was not the only person who took action to stop the person running towards the Hokage, Ninjas hiding all over the room also took action at the same time and tried to stop this mysterious person.

Just as Minato was about to touch this person, the hokage's voice echoed in the room.

"Everybody stop"

Meanwhile, Kakashi was looking at Eren, who was massaging the Hokage's shoulder, with great shock, because when he felt danger, he untied his eyepatch and revealed his 3 Tomoe Sharingan.

In Kakashi's eyes, while Minato was moving towards Eren with his body shaking technique, Eren was using his pure physical abilities to run and at the same time he was looking at Minato chasing him with a smile.

Kakashi had never seen how fast even the guy who used the forbidden technique could run this fast.

Kakashi wasn't the only one surprised, all the ninjas in the room were surprised when Eren appeared behind the Hokage before they could react.

Minato immediately guessed what was going on by combining the clues that Sarutabi said was the key to solving the war and that Eren had been wandering around the fire kingdom for the last five years, but he still had doubts because, just like Kakashi, Eren was only 14 years old.

Sarutabi told the Anbu ninjas around him to leave the room and began speaking.

"Minato, don't doubt, Eren is now almost as strong as you or Orochimaru, and he has a powerful barrier technique that can trap large amounts of people. He can also store his chakra perfectly."

Kakashi looked at Sharinhan and Eren with curiosity while listening to Sarutabi's explanation.

When I saw Kakashi looking at me, I used a small portion of the cursed energy stored in my body to surround my body.

Kakashi had another shock when he realized that he could no longer see the chakra in Eren's body. The sharingan was an eye that could see behind all kinds of techniques under normal circumstances, but when I looked at Eren now, the only thing he could see was an ordinary person.

"Kakashi, if you confirmed what I said, I will now start explaining the real plan."

Kakashi bowed his head in shame and listened to the hokage's speech.

"First of all, I received two different pieces of intelligence today. The first of them is not very reliable intelligence, but it cannot be ignored. According to the content of the intelligence, Kumogakure decided to send both A and jinchuriki to the battlefield at the same time."

Minato and Kakashi frowned and expressed their thoughts. I didn't have much of an opinion, I had already watched the anime after all.

"The second intelligence is about Rin"

Minato and Kakashi took a step forward at the same time and began to listen more carefully to the Hokage's speech.

"One of our ninjas who were on guard at the border saw Rin being brought here by 4 Chunin. Kakashi, your duty is to go and save Rin, Minato, your duty is to stop Kumogakure, and Eren, your duty is to go and make a great massacre in the ranks of Iwakagure."

Minato and Kakashi knelt down, accepted the mission, and left the room to get ready.

So I stopped massaging Sarutabi and said in a cheerful voice, "Don't worry old fart, I will do something to the Iwakagure ninjas so that they will make a peace treaty with us of their own free will."

Sarutabi, annoyed by the way I addressed him, took a few puffs from his pipe and told me to go get ready.
