Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

Iwagakure had signed a peace treaty with the village, ending the war and withdrawing its troops. The Konoha ninja, who had long been away from home, immediately packed their belongings and returned to the village.

Upon returning to the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally greeted the triumphant group.

He stood at the village entrance with a group of high-ranking officials, offering each ninja a kind and gratified smile. However, that smile froze slightly when he saw the people on both sides of the road warmly welcoming Shingetsu Seiun.

"Lord Nebula!!~"

"Long live Lord Nebula!!~"

"I'll love you for ten thousand years!"

Among the cheering crowd were both men and women, but women made up the majority. Many young married women and teenage girls stood on both sides of the road, their beautiful faces turning into fervor the moment they discovered the Divine Moon Nebula.

The men around them saw this, but felt no jealousy.

The gap is too big.

Among the crowd, Shenyue Xingyun shone as brightly as the sun among the stars, even more radiant than the moonlight. Considering her status and strength, the men present could hardly even feel jealousy. At most, they could only complain to the Sage of Six Paths about the unfairness of their reincarnation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi witnessed all of this. He could feel the villagers' approval of Shingetsu Seiun, and the ninjas' reverence for him. Hiruzen smiled, his face etched with deep wrinkles, as if chiseled by an axe.

"This guy's quite popular these days," Danzo's voice rang in his ears. Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to pay attention, but the other man showed no sign of stopping.

"I've heard that the ninjas are already discussing in private when Shingetsu Seiun will succeed as the Fifth Hokage."

"Hiruzen, what are you thinking?"

"Do you have any plans to abdicate?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eye twitched. He still smiled as he looked ahead, but his voice was cold.

"Shut your mouth. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Danzo: "What kind of talk is that?"

"As an old friend, I'm just concerned about you. After all, choosing the successor to the Hokage is no small matter."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Let the current Hokage worry about this."

Danzo: "..."

"Hmph." He snorted coldly, "Hiruzen, just keep being stubborn."

"I hope that when you step down, you can remain as composed as you are now."

Danzo turned and left, while Hiruzen Sarutobi remained, watching Shingetsu Seiun surrounded by cheers. His hands, hidden in his sleeves, loosened and tightened repeatedly.

'Hiruzen, Hiruzen.'

'Perhaps you really are getting old. It's time to hand over the Hokage position to the younger generation.'

Such a voice echoed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, but soon another voice squeezed in.

'no.'

'Young people simply can't support a large village.'

The first voice said, "The First Hokage wasn't old when he founded Konoha."

When Minato succeeded as the Fourth Hokage, it wasn't much larger than the current Shingetsu Seiun.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze became lost.

A buzzing noise filled his vision, with cheers and soft shouts from the crowd, but he only found it noisy. Until the Divine Moon Nebula came into view.

"Hokage-sama, it's been a long time." Shingetsu Seiun looked directly into Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his face: "Not long, not long."

"Nebula, your excellence has once again exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect you to resolve the matter of Iwagakure in such a short time."

Shen Yue Xingyun smiled faintly: "It's my duty."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "I received news that Onoki attacked you again. Are you alright?"

Shen Yue Xingyun thought to herself, "How could you not know whether I'm injured or not?" But she replied aloud, "I'm fine."

"Onoki is old and frail; he can't hurt me."

Was he making a veiled attack, or was it just my imagination? Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flickered.

Looking at the towering and imposing Shenyue Xingyun before him, he was momentarily lost in thought.

The images of the peace talks from a few days ago resurfaced in my mind.

He was astonished when he learned that Iwagakure had withdrawn its troops and that Onoki had come to negotiate peace in person. He knew that Shingetsu Seiun was powerful, but he had not expected that the other party was so powerful that he could make Iwagakure withdraw its troops in such a short time and that Onoki would take the initiative to negotiate peace.

He was even prepared to sacrifice some interests and use his political skills to obtain a peace agreement, but he didn't expect Onoki to be so thorough, signing the peace agreement early on and offering very generous compensation to Konoha.

His original plan immediately fell through.

Before leaving, Onoki looked at him with a complicated expression and left with a single sentence.

"You're lucky."

"After the yellow flash, another Leaf Village Demon Star has emerged."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, I was not defeated by you, I was defeated by that young man."

The echo still lingered in his ears as Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped back to reality, staring at the Shingetsu Nebula before him, his fists clenching tightly.

Chapter 399 Efforts Should Be Rewarded

'no! '

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists, his resolve gradually hardening.

We cannot give up our position!

He was worried about Shenyue Nebula.

Unlike Minato Namikaze, who successfully took over as the Fourth Hokage, Minato did so partly because he had repeatedly mismanaged the situation during the Third Shinobi World War and resigned in disgrace.

On the other hand, Minato Namikaze was someone he trusted.

As Jiraiya's disciple, the "Yellow Flash" feared by everyone in the village, Minato Namikaze's talent and growth trajectory are crystal clear, with impeccable lineage.

But the Shenyue Nebula is different.

His talent suddenly emerged after his time at the bottom of his class ended.

The only person who had a master-disciple relationship with the other party was Uchiha Mikoto.

Although the ancestors of the Shingetsu family had shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the village, this level of protection could only ensure Shingetsu Seiun's safety when the Ninja Academy was causing trouble; it was far from enough to be elected Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely worried!

With his mind made up, Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile became natural.

He stepped forward, grasped Shenyue Xingyun's hand, and nodded repeatedly.

"Good boy."

"Thank you all for your hard work."

"The village will always remember your contributions."

……

That night, the village held a grand welcoming ceremony for the triumphant ninjas.

Shenyue Xingyun, citing overwork and physical discomfort, returned home early.

Seeing this, Yakushi Nonou also went back to take care of him.

[Ding! ~]

[Triggering Task: Go Even Further! (The other party has dared to break up with you; you must make them deeply realize their mistake! Please go all out and teach them a complete lesson.) Completed.]

【请选择任务奖励：1、宝具·定水珠*10；2、宝具·定位器*10；3、宝具·加长定位器。】

While Nono, the pharmacist who had made great progress after being taught many times, was cooking, Shinzuki Seiun received a notification from the system.

He easily clicked on the reward details.

[Noble Phantasm - Water-Stabilizing Beads *10: Frequency attack, doubles the dehydration rate of the attacked, and can manipulate water elements within a two-meter diameter according to the wielder's will.]

The attached image shows a familiar design: blue and pink stripes, and transparent beads about the size of ping-pong balls.

[Noble Phantasm - Locator *10: The host can sense the wearer's location and issue a crisis warning.]

It's a familiar style, a blue teardrop-shaped pendant.

[Noble Phantasm - Extended Locator: The host can sense the wearer's location and issue a crisis warning. If necessary, the locator can be used to carry the target and fly to evade, although the speed is relatively slow.]

Attached images are also provided.

However, the accompanying picture this time was a bit exaggerated.

A black soft rod, over a foot long, thin at the front and thick at the back, with a pinched end, is a very rare style.

Imagining the way this thing would carry the target and fly to evade it, Shenyue Xingyun felt a tremor in her heart and quickly banished the image from her mind.

Using an extended locator to evade a target is definitely not feasible. If there is real danger, this thing simply cannot fly fast. If you want to fly fast... the scene is unimaginable.

The other two rewards, ten water droplets and ten locators, were plentiful and plentiful. After considering it, Shenyue Xingyun still felt that the locator was more practical.

It can sense the wearer's location and issue warnings, which can be very useful in critical moments.

"So, the Hokage didn't mention any commendation for you?" Yakushi Nonou's voice from the side drew Shinzuki Seiun's attention back to the present.

Shenyue Xingyun: "No."

Yakushi Nonou frowned: "Hmm... how could this be?"

"Other ninjas received rewards, but you, as the commander, didn't?"

"That's so unfair!"

Shenyue Xingyun: "What, are you disappointed that there was no reward?"

Yakushi Nonou: "I'm just standing up for you."

"You deserve a reward for your efforts, especially since your contributions are so significant."

Shenyue Nebula: "Is it big?"
