Chapter 143 (1/2)

Yeruashi found out about the specific situation at the front, visited some of the wounded, and left the camp half a day later for Konoha.

In about ten days.​​

Not far from the main entrance to Konoha.

Erase with a smile and examined the familiar landscapes.

Since leaving Konoha to participate in the Third Shinobi world war and before the return, it took almost two years, and given the ability to accelerate the flow of time from the point of view of Erase has been more than five years.

Leaving the village, Yeruashi was certainly quite strong, but only the third gate was open at that time, and he couldn't be sure of defeating a Kage-level opponent.

Hiruzen and Danzo were a huge threat to him.

But.

After opening the fourth gate, his strength skyrocketed, reaching the level of Kage. He became an extremely difficult opponent, even compared to other shinobi of this level.

And after the opening of the fifth gate and the beginning of the practice of the Flesh Hardening Technique by Raiton, combined with the improvement of the ability to accelerate the flow of time...He became invincible at the Kage level!

Only Minato, who owns Shiki Fujin and Hiraishin, will be a little harder to deal with.

A little harder, no more.

With the current speed of Urwashi'm sure I'll be able to put down Minato, but he is not able to prevent escape by using Hiraishin.

Problems can only arise if Minato manages to put the Hiraishin seal on his body.

It's really troublesome.

Yeruashi's current means do not allow you to remove Hiraishin's seal, so due to the need to be prepared for a surprise attack by Minato at any moment, even sleeping normally will not work.

”Elite Jounin Hatake Of Erase.”

The Konoha shinobi guarding the entrance immediately noticed Yeruashi's approach, sensing the chakra and confirming the identity, he bowed respectfully.

There was genuine respect in his eyes and voice.

After killing Hanzo Salamander and the Third Raikage, Yeruashi became a true hero of Konoha, too young age could not affect this in any way.

”Yes.”

Erase affably nodded and went to Konoha.

Being a popadanite, he didn't have too strong a sense of belonging to Konoha, but it was a place he had lived in for many years anyway, so Yeruashi never had any thoughts of leaving.

If, after the end of the war, Hiruzen and Danzo dare to make a move against him, Yeruashi will be only too happy to clear Konoha.

Sure.

If Orochimaru becomes the Fourth Hokage, the elders will be stripped of influence in no time, even the teacher-student bond will not prevent Sannin from gradually suppressing Hiruzen's influence and retiring him.

To put it simply.

Yeruashi is completely satisfied with any of the scenarios.

It is a sense of lightness brought by sufficient personal power.

”Ah, it's already opened.”

Yeruashi was calmly strolling down the street and suddenly stopped, looking at a newly opened restaurant that had a sign for Ichiraku Ramen.

He smiled and walked over to him, ” Heh, it's worth trying the legendary ramen.”

Before Ichiraku Ramen.

There was a decent queue here, where Yeruashi could see a few familiar faces, such as former classmates, Maito Gai and Inuzuku Fan.

”Oh...big brother?”

Erase nodded and asked: ”When did you get back?”

”The other day.”

Kakashi grumbled irritably.

A few months ago, he was promoted to Tokubetsu Junin.

This was the earliest promotion to Tokubetsu Jounin in Konoha's history, along with Yeruashi, who advanced to this rank around the same age.

But almost immediately after the promotion, Kakashi learned that Yeruashi had single-handedly crushed Amegakure and killed Hanzo, which was a huge blow to him.

What the hell?
