Finally, when the lighter ran out of gas and the image of the setting sun in the moon finally tired of talking and stopped, the entry changed again.

[Lightning Release: Lightning Cage Lv3] → [Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Slaying the Sky Lv4]

As the lighter ran out of gas, it vanished from Shenyue Xingyun's sight. He hurriedly checked the system panel.

Backpack: Perfect Attendance Lottery Machine. 2 Step-by-Step Lighters (Inflating, please wait 0%...)

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Bubu Chao lighter in his backpack, but then he realized something was wrong.

What does "Please wait 0%" mean?

'System, system, can't the Step-by-Step lighter be used continuously?'

How long will it take?

[Unknown, please wait...]

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

He waited tentatively for two hours.

Two hours later, it was already late at night, and the 0% hadn't even buffered to 1%. He sighed in disappointment and closed the panel.

I thought the three powerful ninjutsu would take off immediately, but it turns out the last two needed a buffer.

Well, this will give me some time to find a suitable ninjutsu scroll.

Flying Thunder God Technique, Impure World Reincarnation... I wonder if I can even get my hands on them, and if I do, whether I can actually use them.

Having suddenly acquired a new Lv4 ninjutsu, Shingetsu Seiun tossed and turned, unable to sleep. But they were on a battlefield, and if he were to unleash a Lv4 ninjutsu, even the Hidden Cloud Village would likely hear it. And now, in the dead of night, there was no way he could even attempt it.

I had to suppress my excitement.

After reviewing the battle with Uzuki Yuhi, I tried my best to suppress the urge to try out new ninjutsu, and after a while, I finally fell asleep…

...

In the following days, the Hidden Cloud Village did not launch any further attacks. The AB duo seemed to have suddenly become quiet, making no move whatsoever.

A few days later, news came from the village: Under the negotiation of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Onoki of the Two Scales stopped his attacks on the front-line troops, expressed his condolences for the death of Uchiha Shisui, and returned to Iwagakure.

Although Shenyue Xingyun didn't quite believe the specifics, he did understand some of the signals.

The intensity of the battle began to decrease.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared, Onoki retreated to the Land of Earth, and even the ninjas of Kumogakure didn't make much of a move.

Several more days have passed.

The Cloud Hidden's defensive line even began to shrink and retreat.

The Konoha ninjas were immediately overjoyed.

"They've retreated! They've retreated!"

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes. They even took the cooking pots and stoves!"

"Is the war over? Have we won?"

"awesome!"

"Long live Lord Minato! Long live Jonin Seiun!"

"Strongest!!!"

The camp quickly erupted in jubilation.

Soon, the village's orders reached the northern front.

The Hokage personally signed a secret order, instructing Minato Namikaze to lead Kakashi's team back to the village in secret.

"Jonin Nebula, while our teacher is away, Jonin Yuhi will handle the miscellaneous tasks. You will be in charge of overseeing things," Minato Namikaze instructed Nebula Shinzuki in the command tent.

At this moment, besides the two of them, there were only Uzuki Yuhi and a few mid-level Jonin.

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Don't worry, I will do my best."

The other Jonin naturally had no objections.

Having spent so much time together, they were well aware of Shenyue Xingyun's strength; he was definitely more qualified than them to command the northern front.

Shenyue Xingyun: "When do we depart?"

Minato Namikaze: "Let's do it tonight."

"That way I can see the Hokage first thing the next morning."

Shen Yue Xingyun curled the corners of her lips but remained silent.

He briefly handed over his work; there wasn't much to it. Uzuki Yuhi would handle the specifics, and he only needed to act as a key combat force to keep things under control. After the handover, he started thinking about where to find a place to test his new ninjutsu.

evening.

Outside the tent of Kakashi Hatake's team, Rin Nohara was still standing there, gazing into the distance.

These days, it has become a daily routine. Every evening, Nohara Rin would stop here, while Uchiha Obito would bite his handkerchief at a fixed spot in the tent.

At first, Kakashi Hatake was a little worried, but as time went on, he began to worry about himself.

Will I be negatively affected by spending all day with these two guys?

Chapter 226 Jiraiya Goes Crazy

Therefore, Kakashi Hatake tried to minimize the time he spent resting in the tent each day and practice his swordsmanship outside as much as possible.

I just can't practice my sword skills today.

Seeing Nohara Rin still standing outside, Kakashi Hatake thought for a moment and decided not to disturb her. Instead, he turned around and kicked Uchiha Obito.

The latter raised her tearful eyes in displeasure: "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean, 'what should we do'?" Kakashi Hatake said irritably. "Rin is standing there, and you're standing there too. Hurry up and pack your things."

"We're about to leave, but I don't realize it at all."

"What's the rush?" Obito Uchiha said, getting up to pack his luggage with Kakashi Hatake. After they finished packing, Obito Uchiha came up behind Rin Nohara.

"Lin, stop looking."

"We should get going."

"Should we set off?" Nohara Rin suddenly came to her senses.

Looking up at the sky, I realized that so much time had passed without me noticing.

She turned her gaze away from Shingetsu Seiun's tent; she had already seen that Uzuki Yuhi had arrived an hour late and had just gone inside.

Nohara Rin said to the two of them, "Let's go."

After packing their belongings, the three met up with Minato Namikaze and, taking advantage of the darkness, set off together towards Konoha Village.

On the way, Kakashi Hatake found an opportunity to quietly ask Rin Nohara a question.

"Rin, there's something Obito wants to ask you, but he's afraid it will upset you, so he doesn't dare to ask."

"I'd like to ask him on his behalf."

Nohara Rin looked at Hatake Kakashi, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "It's okay, go ahead and ask."

Kakashi Hatake blinked, then asked the question that had been bothering him.

“You’ve been observing the tent entrance for many days.”

What did you observe?

Nohara Rin did not answer immediately.

What was she observing? She didn't know herself.

Is it watching the setting sun of the moon rise and fall every day, or is it watching the celestial moon and nebula?

She recalled her previous reasoning—to confront everything about him, get used to it, and then let it go.

She didn't know whether what she had been doing these past few days was a direct confrontation with what had happened to him, or a result of her inner drive.

Have you let go?

It seems not yet, but... I'm getting used to it soon.

“I’ve observed… time may heal all wounds.” Rin Nohara replied to Kakashi Hatake.

"Time heals all wounds?" Kakashi Hatake blinked.

It sounded impressive but incomprehensible, quite different from the outrageous answer he had imagined.

"Okay, I'll tell Obito that when I have the chance."

Time heals all wounds…

Rin Nohara's eyes flickered as she watched Kakashi Hatake mutter to himself as he left.

As Shenyue Xingyun's face flashed before my eyes, a thought suddenly popped into my mind—he must be very... happy in the days to come.

……

'Judging from my memory, we should be arriving at Kannabi Bridge soon, right?'

Inside the tent, Shingetsu Seiun relaxed, his mind preoccupied with news of Namikaze Minato's relocation.

'I wonder if the matter of blowing up the Shinmubi Bridge will still exist after I arrive.'
