Capítulo 351: Chapter 351: Reaching Konoha
Konoha.
As usual, two Chunin were stationed at the gate, checking the ninjas and merchants constantly coming and going.
"Oh! Isn't that Kakashi?!"
"They completed their mission to the Land of Waves so quickly!"
At this moment, the two gatekeeping Chunin suddenly saw a few figures gradually approaching from the distance. After recognizing the silhouettes, they smiled and greeted.
"Konoha! I'm back!!"
The scene shifts back to Yu and his group of seven. From a distance, just as they saw the shadow of Konoha, Naruto waved his arms and shouted like a fool.
"Idiot…"
Seeing Naruto's foolish behavior, the expressionless Kimimaro and Sasuke unexpectedly shared a rare moment of mutual understanding, snorted coldly, and mocked, causing the nearby Haku to stifle a laugh.
"Who are you calling an idiot? You two guys!!"
Hearing Kimimaro and Sasuke's mockery, flames indeed appeared in Naruto's eyes, and the three of them locked gazes with an electric intensity.
Perhaps all the hot-blooded anime idiot protagonists would become friends with a guy like Naruto...
Watching Naruto and the others fooling around, a slight smile crossed Yu's face. However, as his gaze fell on the increasingly closer village, the smile on his face gradually faded.
Konoha...
I'm back again...
Gazing at the familiar gate of Konoha from a distance, countless memories of his past life in this village flashed through Yu's mind in an instant. With a sigh in his heart, his expression became somewhat complicated...
"Alright, we're here! Naruto, shut up!!"
Seeing Naruto making a racket all the way, Kakashi stopped him helplessly.
"Although we're all old acquaintances..."
"But you understand, Kakashi, routine checks are Konoha's rules..."
After checking the pass Kakashi handed over, the two gatekeeping Konoha Chunin returned it with a smile. When their gaze fell on Yu and his group, they suddenly trembled, "He... who is he?!"
With a head of pale, messy hair, wearing a loose and casual black ninja kimono, and a young, handsome face that constantly attracted everyone's attention, Yu didn't wear a ninja headband. However, the unintentional aura he exuded was still something that couldn't be underestimated.
"It's been a long time since I came back here..."
"This is my pass, and these two are my subordinates. We are here in Konoha to participate in the Chunin exams..."
Seeing that the two gatekeeping Konoha Chunin seemed to recognize him, Yu wore a relaxed and casual smile. Without showing any signs of nervousness, he took a pass out of his clothes and handed it to them.
"You... you are..."
Their voices unconsciously trembled. Although several years had passed and Yu's appearance and physique had changed considerably, the two Konoha Chunin still recognized him at a glance.
"Uh, this... the pass... the pass is fine..."
Faced with the pass Yu handed over, the two gatekeeping Konoha Chunin instinctively looked towards Kakashi. Seeing Kakashi nod in approval, they finally, as if granted amnesty, allowed Yu and his group to pass. "Sorry, this is a necessary procedure... Please... please go in..."
"Who would have thought that he would actually come back!!"
"No, we need to inform Hokage-sama quickly!!"
It wasn't until Yu and his group of three entered Konoha and walked away that the two gatekeeping Konoha Chunin collapsed to the ground, exchanging glances before disappearing from sight in an instant.
Konoha remained as bustling as ever. After successfully passing through the gate and entering the village, Yu saw merchants, residents, and ninjas everywhere, even tourists from other countries, all reflecting Konoha's status as the largest ninja village in the world.
However, upon entering the long-missed Konoha and seeing the familiar streets before him, Yu's amber eyes seemed somewhat silent.
"So this is what Konoha is like..."
Walking down Konoha's bustling streets and observing the endless stream of people around, Haku felt very fresh and curious.
"This is the village where Yu-sama lived from childhood..."
Walking on the other side, Kimimaro, with his stern expression, couldn't help but show a hint of interest.
"Wow! Look! That guy in black is so handsome!!"
"I can't take it anymore! The cool guy with the white hair walking at the back is also pretty great!!"
"Oh my god! That girl is so beautiful! I think I'm in love?!"
As soon as Yu, Kimimaro, and Haku stepped onto Konoha's bustling streets, their unfamiliar and outstanding appearances caused quite a commotion. Some excited girls nearby even looked like they were about to faint.
"Uh, Yu-sama..."
"Is everyone in Konoha this enthusiastic?"
Hearing the comments and exclamations around them, and feeling the burning gazes from the crowd on him, Haku's face showed an awkward yet polite smile.
Seeing Haku looking awkward and troubled, Yu couldn't help but smile slightly. The exaggerated reaction to attractive characters in this world was indeed over the top. He recalled how he went through similar experiences while living in Konoha.
"What the heck... These two guys are even more popular with girls than Sasuke!!"
"Damn it... Just because they're a bit better-looking! What's so special about that!!"
At this moment, hearing the discussions of the girls around him, Naruto, who was following Yu and the others, had a face full of resentment. "When I become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha in the future... I'll definitely be this popular with the girls too, hehe..."
As he said this, Naruto's mind was already filling with beautiful images.
"Idiot..."
Seeing Naruto daydreaming, Sasuke, standing beside him, mercilessly struck him down.
"You three stay here. I'm going to report this mission to Hokage-sama."
At this moment, Kakashi, who was walking behind the group, suddenly stopped. Then, with a Body Flicker Jutsu, he disappeared from sight.
"Sarutobi-sensei..."
Seeing Kakashi use the Body Flicker to leave, Yu knew he was in a hurry to report to the Third Hokage about his return to Konoha. However, Yu did not stop him, because ever since he stepped into Konoha, his Observation Haki had already sensed the presence of Konoha ANBU agents watching him from all around.
"Since that's the case, Haku, Kimimaro..."
"You two can just stay here, wander around, or find a place to stay."
Understanding that he couldn't avoid meeting the Third Hokage, Yu chose to ignore all the subtle glances around him and gave instructions to Haku and Kimimaro.
After speaking, his voice still lingered in the air, but he had already disappeared.
...
"Third Hokage-sama!!"
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was sitting behind his desk, reviewing documents as usual, when a ninja suddenly appeared, kneeling on one knee.
"It's Kakashi..."
"You led Team 7 and completed the mission in the Land of Waves so quickly?!"
Seeing Kakashi appear in the office without knocking, the Third Hokage was a bit surprised but still smiled and spoke.
"No time to report on this mission..."
"Hokage-sama... that person has returned!!"
In a rare moment, Kakashi directly interrupted the Third Hokage, his usually carefree expression now heavy.
"Such a loss of composure is unlike you... Who are you referring to?"
Seeing the usually composed Kakashi acting so out of character, the Third Hokage was astonished and half-jokingly said,
"Yakushi Yu..."
However, when Kakashi gravely uttered this name, the Third Hokage's pipe trembled, and the entire Hokage office fell into a dreadful silence, leaving only the sound of their breathing...
