Half a month later.

As the Kannabi Bridge was blown up by Minato Namikaze's team, Iwagakure announced its withdrawal and the Third Ninja World War ended.

Konoha Village.

The villagers spontaneously organized to take to the streets to welcome the Konoha ninjas who returned from the battlefield of Iwagakure.

Unfortunately, it was different from the previous times.

Most of the returning ninjas were wrapped in bandages, and there was no joy of victory on everyone's face.

A bleak and murderous atmosphere continued to emanate from this group of Konoha ninjas.

Walking in the front was Minato Namikaze, his face no longer had the warm smile of the past, and his expression was a little dull.

Following behind him were Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi, both of whom had their heads drooped and bowed their heads like zombies.

"Strange, isn't the war won? Why are all of you like this?"

"Alas... I heard that this was a tragic victory, and our Konoha Village ninjas suffered heavy casualties."

"Why is it like this..."

Hearing everyone's discussion, a ninja in the crowd couldn't help but snorted coldly: "You guys, have you forgotten the cruelty of war?"

"It's only natural that this situation would occur."

Hearing his words, everyone around was stunned, and then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I was a little too proud. Now think about it, if it wasn't for Uchiha Mirai, I would have died on the battlefield of Kirigakure."

"Yes, I was transferred to the battlefield of Sand Village, and with the support of Uchiha Mirai, I was able to inflict heavy damage on the Sand Ninjas."

"Come to think of it, it was the same on the battlefield of Kumogakure. We also suffered heavy casualties, but after Mirai came to support us, we won the war easily not long after."

"In that case... if it wasn't for Mirai, the situation on our other battlefields would probably be similar to that on the battlefield of Iwagakure, right?"

"Although it may be a little inappropriate to say this, it was only in the war with Iwagakure that Uchiha Mirai didn't have time to support. Those ninjas who died on the battlefield... were just a little unlucky after all."

The villagers who were originally full of joy and ready to warmly welcome Minato Namikaze and his party finally reacted.

There is no winner in war.

Regardless of winning or losing, both sides will suffer huge casualties.

The victory in the war with very few casualties was entirely because Uchiha Mirai crushed the enemy with absolute strength.

The atmosphere in the village gradually became depressed, and everyone was infected by the sadness.

Gradually, the team became smaller and smaller.

Until the door of the Hokage Building, only Namikaze Minato, Hatake Kakashi, and Nohara Rin were left.

"You two go back first, I'll go to report the situation to the Hokage."

"As for Obito, I didn't support him in time, don't blame yourself."

After hearing what Namikaze Minato said, Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi nodded.

If they could be as strong as Mirai, Obito would not have died...

————

Three days later.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and drizzles continued to fall.

Hundreds of ninjas in black clothes held white flowers in their hands and stood in front of the memorial in an orderly manner.

Under the chairmanship of Sarutobi Hiruzen, everyone observed a three-minute silence for their companions who died in the Third Ninja World War.

After the silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood opposite the crowd and said with a sad face: "We have won the war again. The facts tell us that Konoha will never be defeated."

"Although the heroes have fallen asleep, they have passed on the will of fire."

"Where Konoha dances, the fire will also continue!"

"The fire will illuminate the village and let the new leaves sprout..."

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's endless speech, Uchiha Mirai lost interest and turned to leave.

When he walked to the side of the cemetery, Uchiha Mirai glanced at the big tree next to him.

On the tree, a man with white hair was sitting on it and watching him silently.

Seeing that he was discovered, the man immediately smiled and said loudly: "You are Uchiha Mirai, right? I heard that you opened the Mangekyō Sharingan? That is a legendary power, so enviable."

"What's the matter?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiraiya, and I am a former teammate of Orochimaru."

Uchiha Mirai showed a thoughtful expression: "Jiraiya... Orochimaru seemed to have mentioned it, but he said he was not familiar with you."

"Huh?!"

"Orochimaru, that bastard, dared to insult our bond like this. It is absolutely unforgivable."

"Hey? Don't leave yet!"

Looking at Uchiha Mirai's back as he left without looking back, JiraiyaThe smile on his face disappeared.

Just as the rumors said, this little guy named Uchiha Mirai is very powerful and can easily find him hiding in the dark and concealing his breath.

With the Mangekyō Sharingan and such a strong strength...

Will he be the variable in the dream of the big toad sage?

————

"Mirai!"

"Wait for us."

Hearing the shouting behind him, Uchiha Mirai turned around and Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi ran to him breathlessly.

"You are so brave, you sneaked out before the Third Hokage even finished talking."

Hearing Hatake Kakashi's complaint, Uchiha Mirai shook his head: "Let me correct you, I left openly."

"That's why I say you are so brave!"

Hatake Kakashi finished speaking and found that Uchiha Mirai had been staring at him. He turned his head to the side unnaturally and muttered: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious about your experience on the battlefield in Iwagakure Village."

Although Uchiha Obito was still "dead", Hatake Kakashi did not lose an eye, and Uchiha Obito did not give his Sharingan to Hatake Kakashi.

Uchiha Mirai was very curious about how Uchiha Obito got into trouble this time.

Seeing that Hatake Kakashi was silent, Nohara Rin took the initiative to speak: "Mirai, let me tell you."

"Our team was ordered to blow up the Kannabi Bridge, and Minato-sensei had to go to the front line to support the front, so everyone separated temporarily."

"Later, I was captured by the ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village and taken to a cave. When I woke up, my hands and feet were tied."

"Kakashi and Obito came to save me and were surrounded by those Iwagakure ninjas."

"At the critical moment, I opened the scroll you gave me, and then those Iwagakure ninjas were all ablaze with black flames."

"Those flames were just like what you said, Mirai. No matter what method the Iwagakure ninjas used, they couldn't put them out."

"In the end... those Iwagakure ninjas performed earth escape ninjutsu together and collapsed the cave."

"Originally, we were about to escape, but in the end, Obito seemed to be tripped by a tree root and was unfortunately hit by a huge falling rock..."

After hearing Nohara Rin's explanation, Uchiha Mirai also roughly understood what happened.

Except for some details, the rest of the development is not much different from the original.

"Mirai, if I can be stronger..."

Looking at the self-blaming Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Mirai stopped and looked back at him.

"What's wrong?"

"If you want to say something to comfort me, then I advise you to..."

"Kakashi."

"Hmm?"

"If you are new, practice more."
