"I understand."
Tsunade nodded, and understood Yeruashi's actions.
Yeruashi's brother Kakashi was still in Konoha, and after Yeruashi was missing for two years, there was always something to take care of.
After looking at Yeruashi, Tsunade smiled slightly and said, "A lot of people thought you were dead, and everyone would be surprised if you suddenly appeared."
"It would be better if this didn't happen at all..."
Yeruashi waved his hand.
While people like Danzo and Hiruzen might even have been happy about his death, Kakashi, Kurenai and the rest of the people close to him probably experienced a lot of pain in the last two years.
"In any case, just seeing you made me feel much calmer."
Tsunade yawned. Because of the alcohol she had drunk today, she started to feel sleepy, so she went to the next room and lay down on the bed.
Observing the scene, Shizune smiled and turned her head to look at Yeruashi, saying, "It's time for us to rest too."
She was silent all this time, not interfering in the conversation between Tsunade and Yeruashi, for her it was enough to know that Yeruashi was alive. The joy in Shizune's heart still hadn't diminished.
"Yes."
Yeruashi nodded, stretched his body and then looked at Shizune as he said, "You were also worried about my disappearance...I'm sorry for worrying you."
Shizune smiled sweetly and said softly, "It's okay.... This is the life of a ninja, the main thing is that you're back..."
Soon, Shizune and Yeruashi also went to bed.
A night passed.
Early the next morning.
Early in the morning, Yeruashi didn't stay much longer, after saying goodbye to Tsunade and Shizune, he left the village and rushed to Konoha, activating the time acceleration and opening the doors of the Hachimon Tonko Thunder Mode.
Yeruashi's furious chakra alarmed many ninja who were present in the Fire Country's territory, and all sorts of messy information began to be transmitted immediately.
...
In front of the Konoha memorial stone.
Here was twelve-year-old Kurenai, who carefully placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the memorial, looking at Yeruashi's name engraved on it.
Two years have passed, but for her it all happened as if it were yesterday.
Although news of Yeruashi's disappearance spread about a year and a half ago, he was declared dead and his name was engraved on a memorial stone only two months ago.
"How can a ninja as powerful as you die too..."
Kurenai bit his lip.
In front of the memorial stone, there were other ninja besides her. Each of them came with a bouquet and bowed their heads, standing silently.
Some came to pay their respects to their dead comrades, and others to their fathers or brothers, as well as those who came to dead husbands and wives.
No one spoke.
All silently walked to the monument at the same time and laid flowers.
Just at that moment, the attention of those present was attracted by a figure who appeared in front of the monument at an unknown time.
He left no bouquet, but glanced at the Memorial Rock, apparently looking for something, and then found one of the names, before a lightning bolt burst from his fingertips.
"Hey!"
"What are you doing!"
Seeing this scene, someone's face instantly changed and he couldn't help but shout in a deep voice.
The man standing in front of the memorial stone took a step forward, ignoring the question, and gently fingered a certain name on the stone.
Buzz!
A bolt of lightning quickly erased the name etched in the dust.
"Bastard!!!"
Seeing this, one of the ninja couldn't help but shout out loud, anger shining in his eyes. This memorial stone is engraved with the names of the heroes who gave their lives for Konoha!
But not everyone showed anger and ran towards the figure standing in front of the memorial stone.
Kurenai did not move.
The moment the figure appeared, she had stopped dead in her tracks, stunned.
The head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku, who came to bow to his fallen comrades, also did not move, looking at the back of the man who appeared with a look of shock and uncertainty.
At the moment when several ninjas rushed towards this man, intending to grab him, he turned towards them, showing his face.
It was a very attractive face, with a hint of youthful features.
After getting a better look at this face, all the running ninjas stopped abruptly.
Their eyes widened, a flash of surprise and disbelief.
"You...you..."
Someone spoke in disbelief.
Yeruashi looked at them, then his gaze landed on Kurenai and walked towards her, saying, "I'm sorry, I made you worry, but I'm back now..."
Hearing these words and sensing the familiar chakra, Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing nearby, took a deep breath, astonishment shining in his eyes.
Such chakra...
There must be no mistake, this young man in front of his eyes is definitely the right person.
The man who killed the Third Raikage and Hanzo of the Salamander, as well as single-handedly crushed Amegakure. The hero who gave Konoha the upper hand at the start of the Third Ninja World War!
The Silver Flash of Konoha!
"You have returned, Jounin Yeruashi.... Did you just erase your name engraved on the memorial stone? Ah, that was a bit flashy and provocative. If a ninja disappears for a year, he's generally recognized as dead."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Yeruashi and said slowly.
Hearing Fugaku's words, the ninjas nearby, suspecting that perhaps someone was disguised as the Silver Flash, felt a chill.
Uchiha Fugaku is the Chief of the Konoha Military Police and the Uchiha Clan, and since a person like him confirmed it, that means that before his eyes really was the true Silver Flash of Konoha!
"Yes."
Yeruashi looked at Fugaku and nodded his head as he said, "My name doesn't belong on the memorial stone, I apologize, it seems to have caused unnecessary worry."
"No problem with that, the news of your return will bring great happiness to all the ninja in Konoha..."
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said kindly, "If you have free time, you can come over for tea. Ah, recently, I have greatly improved my understanding of the tea ceremony."
As the leader of the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku certainly has some pride and arrogance, but when he met with a ninja like Yeruashi, he behaved in the friendliest and most friendly way possible.
Recently, the Uchiha Clan is becoming more and more isolated from Konoha, and Yeruashi's return may be the key to get out of this situation.
"Good."
Yeruashi nodded with a smile.
It was then that Kurenai finally confirmed the fact that Yeruashi was still alive. She bit her lip for a moment, and then, unable to contain her emotions any longer, she stepped forward and hugged Yeruashi tightly.
At the same time, the ninjas around him took a deep breath, withdrawing from the commotion, and looked at each other, someone quickly left the graveyard, about to make a report.
Silver Flash is alive!
With the spread of this news, all of Konoha will be boiling!
