Naruto: My setting is above yours.

"Hahaha~"

"Lord Tsuchikage, please don't take this opportunity to do anything underhanded, otherwise I'll be going to Iwagakure to plant trees."

Xuanma laughed loudly, turned around, and left.

Onoki stopped and turned around, watching Genma's retreating figure, and gritted his teeth: "Damn little bastard!"

He decided that once he returned to the village, he would immediately begin selecting a suitable candidate.

We must cultivate a successor.

A more outstanding successor than this little brat!

……

Genma was unaware of Onoki's determination; he arrived at the medical camp first.

With the start of peace talks, although the war was not over, its intensity dropped to a minimum, and the medical teams suddenly became less busy.

"Lord Xuanma, is the war really coming to an end?"

Fennel's voice was still as gentle and pleasant as ever.

Genma smiled and replied, "It might not be that fast for now."

"However, such a large-scale medical team is probably not needed for the time being, and you will be able to return to the village to rest soon."

Fennel's eyes crinkled with laughter: "That's wonderful!"

Tsunade asked, "Are you going back to the village now?"

Xuanma said with a hint of helplessness, "Yes, the order has arrived."

"If I were on the front lines, the atmosphere would be too tense."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Genma took Shizune and left, teleporting directly to Yamashiro Aoba's side.

Teachers Sakumo Hatake and Jiraiya were both present.

After exchanging greetings, Genma asked, "Are you going back to the village together, Master?"

Sakumo Hatake shook his head: "No, we'll stay for now."

Jiraiya laughed and said, "It is I who want to go back with you."

Xuanma was a little surprised: "You want to withdraw troops?"

Aren't they afraid that Iwagakure will take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack?

Jiraiya shrugged: "That's what the old man means."

"Furthermore, we also need to take turns resting to prepare for dealing with other places."

Xuanma didn't know what to say for a moment.

You might say Hiruzen Sarutobi is indecisive, but he acted with absolute decisiveness.

Jiraiya didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject and asked, "Are you planning to fly back, or use a summoning jutsu?"

Genma raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiraiya, asking, "Senior, you don't mean for everyone to fly back, do you?"

Jiraiya laughed loudly: "Hahaha, everyone wants to experience it!"

"It's a good time for me to continue learning to fly."

What could Xuanma say but nod in agreement?

After saying goodbye to their teacher, Sakumo Hatake, the four of them went to the meeting point together.

The number of people returning to Konoha this time is only a little over one hundred, and most of them are people who have suffered serious or moderate injuries.

Upon seeing the Wind-Riding Black Horse approaching, they all greeted, "Lord Black Horse!"

All Chunin are respectfully addressed as "Lord Genma," while Jonin are addressed as Genma-kun or Genma-sensei.

Only people who are familiar with each other will call each other by name, such as Akimichi Higashi.

After responding with a smile, Xuanma formed a hand seal: "Everyone, get ready."

bang bang bang~

A series of plumes of smoke rose up, and the hundred-plus people turned into a hundred-plus falcons.

"That's amazing!"

"Transformed over a hundred people at once!"

"It really turned into a falcon, and I couldn't feel anything was different at all."

"I think I can really fly..."

"But why can't I do it myself?"

"If you can do it, then you are Lord Genma!"

A commotion erupted, and some people immediately jumped to try, inexplicably finding themselves flying.

"Alright, let's get going, and remember not to fall behind!"

Jiraiya gave a shout and was the first to soar into the sky.

It's not like it's happening.

And so, a flock of falcons took flight with a whoosh.

Xuanma looks pretty cool.

That afternoon.

Many villagers in Konoha Village were surprised to see a large flock of eagles appear in the sky above the village.

Upon seeing this, the Uchiha members of the security force became alert and gave chase.

When they arrived near the Hokage Building, Fugaku Uchiha, who was leading the group, saw that the hawks that had landed had transformed into Konoha ninjas, with Jiraiya leading the pack.

Fugaku Uchiha stepped forward: "Lord Jiraiya, this is..."

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Fugaku, sorry, hahaha, this is Genma's transformation technique."

"We flew back from the front lines as eagles."

The other Uchiha following behind Fugaku Uchiha were dumbfounded.

Turning into a bird is certainly possible, and they can do it too, but flying back... are you kidding me?

Fugaku Uchiha knew that Genma could transform into a bird and fly, but he couldn't help but marvel at the sight: "Truly amazing!"

At this moment, Genma stepped forward: "Fugaku-senpai."

Uchiha Fugaku immediately said, "Genma-kun."

Several Uchiha members immediately bowed: "Lord Genma!"

They were arrogant, but before the Wind-Riding Black Horse, they could only feel respect.

Hello.

Genma greeted him with a smile.

Jiraiya said, "Genma, let's go see the Third Hokage first!"

Genma said to Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba, "You two should go back first!"

Silent and Yamashiro Aoba nodded.

As everyone watched them go, Genma and Jiraiya entered the Hokage Building.

The Hokage's office.

When Genma and the other man pushed open the door, Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking.

"Genma's back! You've worked so hard!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi held his pipe and smiled.

Genma greeted him: "Third Hokage."

Jiraiya retorted with dissatisfaction: "Hey, I've been working hard too!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed silently, ignoring Jiraiya's words, and said directly, "I have decided to abdicate. If you are interested, then be prepared!"

Jiraiya immediately waved his hand upon hearing this: "I'll pass, this position isn't suitable for me."

"After the war ends, I'm going to travel around looking for inspiration and material to write a book!"

"You should let Tsunade handle the Hokage position!"

This was exactly what Hiruzen Sarutobi had expected, but he was still somewhat helpless.

The disciple he favored most did not share this idea.

He clearly wanted to become Hokage when he was little, you idiot Jiraiya!

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't try to persuade him, and changed the subject again: "Are the kids in Kusagakure now those the same children you took in back in the Land of Rain?"

Jiraiya's expression turned serious, and he nodded, saying, "It's them. I didn't expect it to be like this."

"However, it seems they are on the right track now, but if they continue like this, they may clash with Hanzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Hanzo's ambition needs to be adequately restrained."

Jiraiya frowned: "They are still too young, and their strength is probably not enough."

He didn't want Yahiko and the others to get involved in this kind of thing.

Hearing their conversation, Xuanma said, "I didn't expect that you had disciples outside, senior."

Is there anything special about it?

Jiraiya glanced at Genma and thought for a moment before saying, "One of the children has the Rinnegan, the legendary eye technique of the Sage of Six Paths."

"Rinnegan?"

Xuanma feigned surprise: "Does something that's said to be legendary really exist?"

"In that case, why not take him back to the village and train him?"

Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly: "Well... they also have their own ideals."
