Minato Namikaze was also somewhat speechless, and then the topic returned to the war, "After the Land of Earth surrenders, the Land of Wind should be almost finished as well, so the Third Shinobi World War will come to an end."

"Ming, what are your plans for the future?"

"Plans?" Akira Hatake smiled slightly. "I've already made my plans!"

"After the war ends, I will return to the life I have always longed for, teach at the Ninja Academy, nurture the future pillars of Konoha, and take some time to practice the Sage Techniques of the Three Great Holy Lands."

"that's it?"

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but raise his voice, "I've reserved the position of Hokage advisor for you, aren't you going to come and help me?"

“Teacher, even without me, you can still manage the entire Hidden Leaf Village.”

Akira Hatake refused Minato Namikaze's offer, saying, "Teacher, I really just want to be a support ninja quietly. Please don't consider me for any troublesome matters."

"You really are..."

"Fine, fine, whatever."

Minato Namikaze felt powerless as he saw Akira Hatake revert to his old ways, and could only let Hatake do as he pleased.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Akira Hatake didn't think anything of it; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

After chatting for a while longer, Akira Hatake made an excuse to leave, reopened a water-ripple-shaped spatial barrier, and instantly returned to the battlefield of the Land of Waterfall.

Although the Land of Earth has now surrendered, Akira Hatake still has some follow-up matters to deal with.

For example, there's the issue of the ransom from the Land of Earth, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki from the Land of Waterfall, and the Land of Wind, which hasn't surrendered yet. Akira Hatake needs to put pressure on them as well.

……

As the Third Shinobi World War was drawing to a close, Obito Uchiha, accompanied by Zetsu, had already located Nagato and the others from the Akatsuki organization.

"I think that when you truly experience pain, you will still stick to your beliefs."

After leaving behind a single sentence, Obito Uchiha gave Nagato a deep look before turning and walking into the rain.

Clearly, Obito Uchiha's first meeting with the Akatsuki was not ideal. As long as Yahiko was in the Akatsuki, Nagato would never accept Obito Uchiha's ideas.

“Ze, you’ve seen it too. There are signs that Nagato is becoming somewhat out of control.”

"Hehe, it won't get out of control."

Black Zetsu, possessing White Zetsu, spoke in a sinister tone, "Just find an opportunity to get rid of Yahiko, and you can also help Nagato further activate the Rinnegan's abilities."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

Obito Uchiha turned around and glanced at Nagato, the three black tomoe in his eye sockets slowly rotating. "Seeing the Rinnegan in Nagato's eyes, I have a feeling that I want to have a match with him."

"I always felt that with my current strength, I could completely replace Nagato!"

"Obito, don't do anything stupid..."

Black Zetsu spoke again, "With your talent, you can indeed fully unleash the power of Madara's eyes, but the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life is a technique that trades one life for another."

"I imagine you wouldn't want your plans to run into problems, would you?"

"Ah."

Obito Uchiha nodded and stopped arguing with Black Zetsu.

As Black Zetsu said, Obito Uchiha's mission was to have Nagato revive Madara Uchiha using the Rinnegan's eye technique, Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life. The rest was not something Obito Uchiha could interfere with.

Even so, Obito Uchiha did not extinguish his desire for the Rinnegan.

After all, since his transformation into a villain, Obito Uchiha had realized one thing: relying on oneself is worse than relying on others; only by becoming strong can one truly be strong.

"Tell me your plan, it's brilliant."

Obito Uchiha looked at Zetsu behind him, "How do you plan to eliminate Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki?"

"Hehe, of course it's a case of shifting the blame and framing someone else!"

Black Zetsu grinned sinisterly, "Obito, don't forget, your abilities are very similar to Akira Hatake's current abilities. You can use some underhanded tricks to frame Konoha and Akira Hatake for Yahiko's death."

"I think that when the time comes, not only will Yahiko die, but Nagato will also hate Konoha and Akira Hatake to the bone."

"Hehe, I can't wait to see if Akira Hatake can maintain his invincible status when facing the Rinnegan!"

"Let's do it your way."

Obito Uchiha did not refute, but instead looked deeply in the direction of Konoha Village, the hatred in his eyes almost solidifying.

"Hatake Akira, just wait for me. I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

After saying that, Obito Uchiha's three tomoe in his eye sockets spun rapidly, instantly transforming into the shape of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

With a spiraling spatial fluctuation, Obito Uchiha and Zetsu were instantly sucked in.

The following day, the cunning Rasa led the ninjas from the Land of Wind back to Sunagakure and began to send a peace request to Konoha.

Minato Namikaze readily accepted the offer. However, regarding the ninjas from the Land of Wind who had been captured by Akira Hatake, Minato followed Hatake's previous method of handling them, requiring the Land of Wind to pay a ransom of two thousand ryo per person.

As for why the ransom was increased from 1,000 taels per person to 2,000 taels per person, it was naturally because of the rules set by Akira Hatake yesterday.

This infuriated Kazekage Rasa, as there was no precedent for paying to redeem one's own ninjas during the last and the previous Shinobi World Wars.

Akira Hatake's move was unprecedented, causing great suffering to both Kaze and Sok.

However, as the saying goes, since they have the ability to initiate a war, then when the war is lost, both Fengtu and the other two countries will naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.

Akira Hatake didn't kill the prisoners, which seems like a show of mercy towards both Kazeto and Kazeto!

When Minato Namikaze agreed to the Kazekage Rasa's request for peace, it signified the end of the Third Shinobi World War, with Konoha and the Land of Fire emerging as the final victors.

Moreover, Konoha and the Land of Fire profited immensely from this war, taking advantage of both large and small interests.

"A bow!"

"Two bows!"

"Three bows!"

"The ceremony is complete. Please, Fourth Hokage, present the flowers!"

"Next, please present flowers to our heroes in an orderly manner!"

At the Konoha Memorial Garden, a group of Konoha high-ranking officials, led by Minato Namikaze, along with many Konoha ninjas and villagers, are paying tribute to the Konoha ninjas who sacrificed their lives in the war under the guidance of a master of ceremonies.

The atmosphere was heavy and sorrowful; no one had an indifferent expression on their face, only a deep mourning for the deceased.

After all the procedures were completed, Minato Namikaze personally unveiled the white cloth covering the newly built, tall memorial monument.

"Everyone, we have won the Third Shinobi World War!"

The moment the white cloth covering the memorial was removed, Minato Namikaze raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone who participated in this war, whether fallen heroes or survivors, will be remembered in our hearts!"

"Long live!"

May the ninja way of Konoha prosper!

"Long live!"

May the ninja way of Konoha prosper!

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, shouts from a group of Konoha ninjas and many villagers resounded through the sky, startling a flock of birds that flew away into the distance.

After everyone had expressed their pent-up frustration and excitement through shouting, Minato Namikaze raised his hand and gestured for everyone to quiet down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the heroes who sacrificed their lives deserve our remembrance, and the heroes who are still alive deserve to be remembered as well."

"But this shouldn't just be a slogan. What those who sacrificed or survived need most is a tangible reward from the village."

"We should not let heroes shed blood and tears; we should ensure that their orphans and widows receive appropriate and generous treatment."

“I know that doing this has the flavor of making amends for past mistakes, but the deceased are gone, and this is all the village can do for them right now.”

"I feel deeply helpless about this..."

"But I believe that death cannot break us, nor can it break the new Will of Fire, nor can it break our proud backbone as a super hidden village in the ninja world!"

"Akira Hatake!"

After an impromptu speech, Minato Namikaze called out Akira Hatake's name.

"exist!"

In this situation, Akira Hatake remained calm and knew what he should do.

Taking a firm step forward, Akira Hatake stood below Minato Namikaze.

"Next, Akira Hatake, the vice principal of Konoha Ninja Academy and vice director of Konoha Ninja Library, will give a speech and announce a series of compensation details."

After saying that, Minato Namikaze stepped down from the platform, handing the stage over to Akira Hatake.

Ten-year-old Akira Hatake is growing very fast; he looks different every day.

Because of the Naruto world, Akira Hatake, who is only ten years old, is already quite mature. In terms of appearance, it doesn't seem out of place for Akira Hatake to say that he is fourteen years old this year.

As he steadily ascended the platform, Akira Hatake looked down at the sea of ​​heads below, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Back when I first entered the Konoha Ninja Academy, I was one of the people standing in the audience. The person standing on the stage at that time was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But now, standing on the high platform, commanding the world, are Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake. The reversal of power took only six years.

Over the past six years, the person who has changed the most is probably Akira Hatake himself.

When he first arrived, Akira Hatake was both lazy and apprehensive.

However, the forced entry into the role later on allowed Akira Hatake to grow at an unimaginably rapid pace.

Not only was there a problem with his strength, but his mentality also underwent a complete transformation.

This change is neither good nor bad. Overall, Akira Hatake still yearns for a laid-back lifestyle, but the way he achieves it has quietly changed.

Akira Hatake plans to first create a more stable and peaceful environment, quell all conspiracies and schemes, and then resume his leisurely life.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't go through the long and tedious opening remarks. I think you all don't want to hear me ramble on."

"First, I want to talk about the new Will of Fire that the Fourth Hokage spoke of."

"The word 'new' here represents innovation, expansion and continuation on the existing basis, rather than replacement."
