Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

For some reason, memories of the past still keep popping up.

Genma Shiranui felt a pang of emotion.

Back then, as a member of the Fourth Hokage's guard, how glorious he was!

Even his family was proud of him.

Thanks to the Fourth Hokage's protection, the Shiranui clan might just rise from a small clan to become a major clan in Konoha!

But who could have imagined that such a thing would happen?

Genma Shiranui's eyes dimmed.

After the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Fourth Hokage and his wife sacrificed themselves, and his younger brother also disappeared.

The enviable Namikaze brothers disappeared almost simultaneously.

With the Third Hokage's return to power, these loyal followers of Minato and his future allies were no longer valued and were gradually marginalized.

Politics is cruel.

Genma Shiranui suddenly recalled the days when he served as the Fourth Hokage's bodyguard and couldn't help but feel sentimental.

"I wonder how Namiashi Raito and the others are doing?"

Suddenly, Genma Shiranui sensed someone approaching and immediately assumed a defensive posture, staring at the person walking towards him.

The fan-shaped pattern is very eye-catching.

Uchiha?

"Genma Shiranui, do you want to continue rotting away, or... go all out!"

"What do you mean?"

Genma Shiranui held his breath.

"That lord needs you."

The pupils suddenly shrank.

Could it be...

Deivashi, sporting a goatee, lay on his bed, looking distressed. He hadn't received any good assignments in the past two weeks.

If this continues, the expenses will become a major problem.

Just as he was feeling down, there was a knock on the door.

With a sense of surprise, Deivashi opened the door.

It was an unfamiliar Uchiha face.

“Deivashi, that lord needs you.”

Almost simultaneously, the same scene unfolded across Konoha.

After three years, Miki Namikaze and Minato's former subordinates finally received the summons they had once longed for.

"Same as above, that lord has returned."

"Inuzuka Koto, the future lord needs you..."

"Nobuko Aburame, the future lord is summoning you..."

……

Chapter 67 Welcome back, my men!

The Uchiha clan's territory, a wide plaza.

The square was already packed with ninjas.

The crowd looked at each other, and a murmur of astonishment arose.

"Genma Shiranui, you're here too?"

"You're here too, just like me!"

"Haha, the three of us are finally all together again!"

The three of them are Minato Namikaze's bodyguards. When they work together, they can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport through space and time.

As the group of ninjas talked among themselves, a mixture of shock and surprise spread among them.

The ninjas around them were all their former colleagues or comrades-in-arms from the Third Shinobi World War.

After a long time apart, they were overjoyed to see each other again.

"It seems that sir has gathered us all together."

Everyone's hearts were pounding.

Although his name wasn't explicitly stated, the surrounding ninjas all knew exactly who he was.

Mirai Namikaze, the younger brother of the fourth generation.

They are being summoned!

Three years later, that person returned to Konoha and finally came to find them!

"The future sage has arrived!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and the crowd fell silent. All eyes, whether expectant or admiring, were focused on the approaching figure.

Her familiar blonde hair reflected the sunlight.

A smile appeared in Namikaze Mirai's azure eyes as she surveyed the ninjas standing there.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

This simple sentence brought tears to the eyes of the ninja standing there, making his nose sting and his eyes well up with tears.

They had waited three years for these words.

"My Lord, you're finally back."

"Yes, I didn't expect so much time to have passed."

A stir began to rise in the crowd, a mixture of excitement and complex emotions spreading outwards.

They once followed the future of the waves and had a glorious past.

Namikaze Mirai scanned the ninjas in front of him one by one. These familiar faces now bore the marks of time.

"Gentlemen, I know that during the years I was missing, most of you suffered from exclusion, were marginalized, and lost your former positions..."

"But now, I'm back."

"Join me and let's take back everything we've lost!"

The former subordinates standing before him were breathing rapidly, their blood surging, as if a flame had been ignited within them.

"Take it all back!"

"Take it all back!"

The bold voice echoed in the sky.

……

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned close to the window, watching the ninja unit setting off outside. The reflection in the glass illuminated his somber face.

That unit had an impressive lineup, with no fewer than a hundred Jonin alone.

The arrival of such a force on the battlefield will inevitably have a huge impact on the course of the war.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't feel happy at all.

My heart is heavy.

Because that's the future unit of Namikaze.

From its formation to personnel selection and deployment, this unit has never been approved by him, the Hokage.

Moreover, most of them were composed of Uchiha clan members, and they were all the extreme type of Uchiha clan members.

These Uchiha are usually under close surveillance by the Anbu.

These Uchiha lunatics could cause a huge disaster if you're not careful.

Now, however, Namikaze Mirai has organized them into a unit and sent them to the battlefield.

After this battle, the Uchiha clan's reputation in the village will likely improve significantly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

At other times, he was able to use balancing methods to suppress the Uchiha's battle achievements and assign them to less important tasks such as escorting, defending, and providing support.

But it's different now.

The army of Yunyin Village is pressing in.

The front lines suffered repeated defeats.
