Being in Konoha, a disgrace to the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Ryuka thought to himself.

The next moment.

Accompanied by a series of Body Flicker Techniques, ninjas dressed in clothing distinctly different from those of Konoha arrived in front of the village.

It was the Cloud Village envoys, led by Kairu, who were the representatives.

Is...it really here?

Uchiha Ryuka stared in astonishment at Ye Feng, his mouth agape, his heart trembling.

Uchiha Yefeng, isn't he the notorious good-for-nothing of the clan? How could his sensory abilities be stronger than mine?

Is he really a good-for-nothing?

Just then, in his perception, dozens of ninjas wearing cat-face masks arrived, hiding in the shadows of the surrounding trees.

The Anbu have arrived too. It seems the Cloud Ninja envoy has indeed come.

The village also attached great importance to these Cloud Ninja envoys.

The Dark Division?

Ye Feng frowned slightly.

The reason he was able to sense the Cloud Ninja envoys before Uchiha Ryuka was none other than the wind.

Every movement of a person creates an airflow, and with his powerful body and keen muscle senses...

No matter how small these air currents were, they were as bright to him as torches in the darkness.

The Dark Guard posed no threat to him; however, he sensed that half of their gazes were fixed on him.

His gaze was filled with sarcasm and disdain, which made Ye Feng very unhappy.

Since when have ants been able to threaten elephants?

It's because I haven't made a move much in the past two years that these people have forgotten who it was that blew their balls off, causing them to kneel on the ground in pain, crying their eyes out.

Who gave them the audacity to look down on them?

Just then, an old man wearing a straw hat and a wide robe arrived. On the back of the white robe was a large "three".

It was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"It's the Hokage!"

The villagers at the village entrance were instantly excited upon seeing this.

"The Third Hokage is the strongest Hokage of all time!"

"This aura is so powerful, I feel like I can't breathe."

"As expected of the ninja world's doctor."

"It is thanks to the Hokage that our village has the peaceful living environment we have today."

"Everything in the village is thanks to the efforts of the Hokage."

"Long live the Hokage! Long live the Third Hokage!"

The crowd cheered loudly, while Hiruzen Sarutobi remained smiling throughout, watching everything with a kind expression.

That's really...shameless!

Ye Feng sneered inwardly.

According to his perception, the first people to cheer, hidden in the crowd, were actually from Yuan Fei's family.

Having his own family members hide in the crowd to create momentum for him—only someone as shameless as Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo could do something like that.

The strongest Hokage of all time—if Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju heard this, they would probably be so angry that they would jump out of their coffins, rubbing their fists together and glaring at him.

Little monkey, are you asking for a beating?

With your meager chakra and limited S-rank ninjutsu, you dare to call yourself a ninjutsu expert and the strongest ninja of all time?

Come on, let's practice a few moves. I'll make a real Buddha Thousand Hands and fight you. If I don't beat you to death, I'll tell you my name!

Only the ignorant masses of Konoha would be brainwashed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, talking about the Will of Fire every day.

The Will of Fire is good, but Hiruzen Sarutobi's Will of Fire is his personal Will of Fire, a will that has been distorted.

The roots of Konoha had long been rotten due to the machinations of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.

After killing the Senju clan and forcing White Fang to his death, these two cunning old foxes set their sights on the Uchiha clan.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Uchiha clan was driven from the center of the village to the outskirts.

Unfortunately, although he was bound to the system at that time, his strength was not great. Otherwise, he would have made Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo taste the anger of a bomb expert!

"Welcome, friends from afar. However, while you are in Konoha, please abide by all the rules of Konoha and do not overstep them in the slightest."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood with his hands behind his back, his face tense, and said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers became even more excited.

He thought to himself.

"As expected of the Hokage, he speaks with such domineering power."

"That's right, if they dare to break the rules, the leaders of the Dark Division will kill them!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi observed the expressions on these people's faces and was extremely satisfied.

This is what people want!

Although Konoha took the initiative to call Kumogakure to negotiate this time, as long as he doesn't say anything and keeps the fishing boats under control, who knows that Konoha is at a disadvantage?

He was about to say a few more words to boost morale and build up his lofty image.

Just then, a discordant voice rang out.

"Judging from the Hokage's words, the envoy from Kumogakure has come to plead for peace with Konoha?"

Who? Who the hell said that?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was so startled that he almost plucked out his own beard.

P.S.: A flower, a rating, a comment, or a monthly pass would be a great motivation for the author!

However, before he could find the culprit, his words had already stirred up waves among the crowd.

People excitedly echoed this sentiment.

"That's right, that must be it. The Cloud Ninja envoy must be trying to make peace with Konoha and beg for our forgiveness."

"How could the Hidden Cloud Village possibly be a match for the Hidden Leaf Village? We, the Hidden Leaf Village, are the number one ninja village!"

"Pray for peace? We'll have to agree first. My husband died on the battlefield at the hands of the Cloud Ninja. This is an irreconcilable hatred!"

"Make them kneel down and slap themselves!"

"Your Majesty!"

The crowd surrounded several Cloud Ninja envoys, raising their hands and pointing at their noses, practically stabbing their fingers into each other's faces.

The situation has spiraled out of control.

The Konoha ninjas looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Normally it would be easy to handle; we could just use force to suppress it.

It's just a few ordinary people; once the ringleader is arrested, things will quickly calm down.

Then, once the fishing boats are under control and the ringleaders are convicted, everything will become much easier.

But now the Cloud Ninja envoy is right in front of us, being pointed at and cursed by the people of Konoha. This matter has escalated to the diplomatic level, and it can't be dealt with simply by arresting a few people.

Didn't you see that the faces of the Cloud Ninja envoys are as black as the bottom of a pot?

Especially Karui, the leader, whose face was so black it could be used as a blackboard.

"Third Hokage, we need an explanation!" Karui asked through gritted teeth, staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"When did Kumogakure come to pray for peace with Konoha? Wasn't it Konoha that sent us?"

"Are you trying to start another war? We, the Hidden Cloud Village, fear nothing!"

Kairu clenched his fists, furious.

It's like they're saying, "I may not be able to beat you, but the village behind me can give you a good beating."

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's head suddenly felt twice as big as his own.

Going to war with Kumogakure again? Konoha really can't afford to fight now!

White Fang died, Tsunade and Jiraiya left, and only Orochimaru remained of the Sannin. He was always acting mysteriously and no one knew what he was doing. He was always nowhere to be seen.

After the Nine-Tails' attack and the years-long war, Konoha has reached an unprecedented period of weakness.

To start a war with Kumogakure at this point would be a losing proposition.

The war must end, and Konoha needs time to recuperate. We are willing to pay any price to achieve this goal.

How did things, which were going perfectly well, suddenly turn out like this?

It was that guy who spoke up just now.

Damn it!

Who, who exactly is it?

We must find the culprit and teach them a lesson!

The next moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze locked onto Ye Feng, and instantly, he realized what was going on.

"It's you? Uchiha Yoru!"

"Greetings, Lord Hokage. I am truly honored that you would remember me amidst your busy schedule."

Ye Feng smiled, showing no sign of panic on his face.

He didn't hide, nor did he bother to hide.
