Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

"This world is vast, and there are many wondrous secret arts that even I, your uncle, haven't mastered. Perhaps there's even a technique that can bring the dead back to life?"

"Is that so?"

Naruto's heart pounded.

If Mom and Dad could really come back to life...

"There will come a day."

Namikaze Mirai smiled as he gazed into the distance. He wasn't just making things up; as far as he knew, Orochimaru possessed a forbidden technique that could resurrect the dead, though it was still imperfect.

However, it is still a hope.

This world is vast, filled with countless wonders, waiting for him to explore.

Perhaps one day in the future, a perfect method to bring the dead back to life will be discovered.

At that time, the reunion of Naruto's family will no longer be a fantasy.

"So Naruto, you must cheer up! If your brother and sister-in-law are resurrected in the future, they will definitely be disappointed to see you looking so dejected."

"Yes! I understand, Uncle!"

Naruto is like a completely different person, full of energy!

"Pinky promise, for our future reunion!"

Namikaze Mirai beckons her little finger.

Naruto hooked his thumb up.

"For our future reunion!"

Chapter 28 Kumogakure Signs Peace Agreement, Hiruzen Sarutobi is Smug

Hokage Room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi kept rubbing his temples, but his headache didn't seem to be relieved.

So much has happened in the village during this time.

The experiences of the past few days have even surpassed the sum of the past few years.

First, Mirai Namikaze, who had been missing for three years, made a strong comeback and caused a ruckus in the Hokage's room with Naruto. Then, Danzo attempted to assassinate Mirai Namikaze, but failed and lost his only left eye.

Then came a media storm.

The thought of the bizarre public opinion it stirred up made Hiruzen Sarutobi grit his teeth in hatred.

Danzo, that idiot!

His roots should have been completely shut down back then!

According to the subsequent investigation by the secret service, the reason why the villagers stirred up such a large-scale public opinion was entirely due to the instigation of Danzo behind the scenes.

It can be said that without Danzo's reckless actions, the subsequent demonstration would never have happened!

His current situation wouldn't be so passive!

In order to appease the angry villagers, he had no choice but to reveal Naruto's identity.

Now, the consequences are becoming apparent.

In the village, his reputation began to plummet.

In the past, the villagers saw him as a friendly and kind Third Hokage.

He was a heroic figure who stepped forward to take on the heavy responsibility of the village after the untimely death of the Fourth Hokage.

But now, after learning Naruto's true identity.

The discourse in the village gradually began to go astray.

After the Nine-Tails Night had just broken out, the village was in dire need of rebuilding. In order to stabilize the people's hearts, he ordered a vigorous promotion of Minato's deeds, portraying him as a hero who sacrificed his life to save the village.

At first, this did work.

The turbulent public sentiment quickly stabilized.

Now, the backlash is starting to appear.

Naruto's identity was exposed, causing the villagers, who believed they had received the Fourth Hokage's favor, to turn their guns on him, the Third Hokage.

Many of the remaining villagers also began to waver.

His reputation plummeted.

Even with the secret agents' attempts to guide them, the results were minimal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

If it weren't for that idiot Danzo, things wouldn't have turned out this way!

"Fortunately, as long as this peace agreement is signed, there is still a possibility of salvaging the situation."

Looking at the agreement lying quietly on the Hokage's desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face beamed with a smile as wide as a chrysanthemum.

This peace agreement was presented to us by the messenger from Kumogakure this morning.

The goal was to sign a peace treaty with Konoha and end the war that had lasted for several years.

After the Third Shinobi World War, almost all of the major ninja villages withdrew from the war.

There is only one exception.

Yunyin Village.

Those barbarians never give up until they achieve their goal. Even after the main battlefield war ended, they continued to fight fiercely in the border area for several years.

This war consumed a large amount of Konoha's manpower and financial resources.

Now, it's finally coming to an end.

It was Cloud Village that took the initiative to back down.

This has a completely different meaning.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile deepened.

He directly demonstrated his wisdom and prowess, deeply implemented the spirit of the Will of Fire, and led the villagers to unite as one, overcoming difficulties and defeating foreign enemies.

The Hidden Cloud Village even sent a delegation to publicly participate in the signing ceremony of the peace agreement.

At that time, all the villagers will witness the glorious moment of their respected Third Hokage.

As for those rumors...

What rumor?

The Third Hokage was busy with official duties, working tirelessly and selflessly for the village. He had just ended a war that had lasted for many years. What a strong will of fire he embodied!

However, they did not pay much attention to Minato's orphaned son.

It's not like we won't compensate him!

Didn't that turn public opinion around?

"I should thank you. Coming here at this time to sign a peace agreement has really done me a great favor!"

Looking at the peace agreement on the table, Hiruzen Sarutobi's chrysanthemum-like old face smiled even more broadly.

……

"Sign a peace agreement?"

At Ichiraku Ramen, Namikaze Mirai, who was showing Naruto some ramen, paused slightly after hearing Ayame's words.

"Yes, I heard that the Hidden Cloud Village took the initiative to stop the war and even sent an envoy to the village to participate in the signing ceremony. Just thinking that the war is about to end makes people excited and overjoyed!"

Sweet flag rubbed her hands together, twisting them back and forth like seaweed.

The end of the war gradually dispelled the gloom that had lingered over the village.

The air inside and outside the house was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"I never expected such a big thing to happen recently..."

With her right hand touching her chin, Miki Namikaze gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

My impression of the Hidden Cloud Village is that they are a group of rather troublesome people.

His older brother, Minato, earned the nickname "Yellow Flash" during a battle with that village.

To be precise, they are the enemies of what are known as the AB brothers.

One of them became the Fourth Raikage, and the other was an extremely rare perfect Jinchūriki.

Judging from this, the strength of the Hidden Cloud Village should be unprecedented.

Why would they voluntarily end the war?

Wouldn't it be more advantageous for them to continue fighting?

"Our great hero's son, this is a custom-made tonkotsu ramen for you, absolutely one of a kind, only one available!"

Just as Namikaze was pondering this, Ayame smiled and placed an extravagantly lavish bowl of ramen on Naruto's table.
