The first person who became famous was still Sannin. Jiraiya returned magically after disappearing for half a year, shocking everyone's chins from Konoha.

You know, even Sarutobi Hinako had no hope for the fact that he was still alive, but he didn't expect to come back safely in the end.

The happiest ones were of course Sarutobi Hinako, Orochimaru and Tsunade, and a small celebration party that night.

However, Konoha was extremely puzzled about where he had been in the past six months. Jirai was kept silent about this. He did not disclose it to anyone except his teacher. Even Tsunade had asked him several times in private, but he did not reveal any words.

After Sarutobi Hinata learned that he was rescued by the immortals of Miaomu Mountain, he also decided to help him keep this secret. As one of the three legendary immortals, as the third generation of Naruto, he still knows some inside stories.

With Sarutobi Hinazun helping to cover up, no one in Konoha pursued Jiraiya's whereabouts in the past six months, and everything returned to peace.

In the next few years, the three people who had not yet obtained the title of Sannin began to conduct missions on multiple missions.

With the perfect cooperation of the three, even the A-level task was completed several times. Gradually, within a certain circle, the reputation of the three gradually became louder.

In addition to them, other people of the new generation have also begun to make their mark in the ninja world, and the fastest rising one was a young man named Haki Sakuroshi.

He is the only remaining heir of the Hachiki clan. He has become a single inheritor. At a young age, he has practiced the sword technique and ninjutsu inherited from the family to an extremely high level. Since he graduated from Ninja School, he has been promoted three times in three years and has become a Shangnin, setting a record at that time.

Compared to him, even Orochimaru, who was considered a rare genius in ten years, was slightly dim.

The Hachimu clan was a strong clan during the Warring States Period, but not a large clan. Because of the sparse tribe, they lived in the north of the Kingdom of Fire for many years. They not only had to face the harsh environment, but also survived in the cracks between Qianshou and Hinata, and faced the pressure of the great clan in the Kingdom of Thunder. They were truly a tough clan.

Everyone knows what happened later that this clan was destroyed by Xuan during a mission and was removed from the entire Warring States Period.

Fortunately, several Hashiki tribe members went out to work and escaped by chance. Later, they went to the Senju clan to seek asylum and were protected by Senju Hashirama until Konoha was established.

In fact, there were still a few people in the Hachiki clan at that time, but the reconciliation between Chiaju and Uchiha made them no longer have the chance to take revenge. Although they hated Uchiha in their hearts, they also knew that the chance was slim. Not only did the number of people not grow in Konoha, but instead withered more and more.

Now, only Haki Shuomo is left.

In addition to these young people, a new generation of ninjas has also begun to enroll, such as Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hirasa, Nara Kazuki, etc., and Sarutobi Hinata and others have completely stood up to support Konoha, the giant creature, and the whole village looks prosperous.

...

Under the calm surface, time passes quietly.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen became stronger and stronger, Naruto's rights became more and more stable. In addition, Shimura Danzang secretly reorganized the "root" and gave support, he was as stable as Mount Tai.

Although the two of them are not in the open, they even often sing opposites at Konoha's senior meetings, even the Naruto position was competitive. But in fact, the two have a very tacit understanding, and even Danzo is the one who spared no effort in supporting Sarutobi Hinazo.

One light and one dark, the two of them were like the trunk and roots of a tree, successfully supporting the big tree of Konoha.

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the biting cold wind blows on the earth.

The hustle and bustle of Konoha Village gradually stopped. After midnight, the fireworks in the sky became sparse. Most ninjas were drunk with laughter and drunk Lin Zhen, and had already embarked on the way home.

As time went by, the ninjas returned home one after another, the sky completely turned into darkness, and the village fell into silence.

Tonight, it was 40 years since the construction of Konoha Village was established. Eight years have passed since the end of the Second Ninja World War, and Konoha has returned to its pre-war prosperity.

Sarutobi Hinako's face was slightly drunk and walked on the street in Konoha in a Naruto coat. He had just attended the celebration held in the Naruto Building and was filled with a lot of wine by major clan leaders.

It was getting late, and he was the last one to leave.

There is no snow tonight, and most of the ninjas have fallen asleep. The occasional barking of dogs comes from afar, just like the sky.

Sarutobi also wanted to go home, but he suddenly wanted to see the village. Perhaps because of drinking, he could do things he would not do on weekdays, but he didn't want to go to Naruto in the back mountain. He wanted to go out to see the village from another angle.

He was in a good mood, and the celebration was one, and it was because the Thousand Hands clan gave in to him.

He was appointed by Tomomasa Senju, but for him, Uchiha and Tomomasa Senju did not respect him. On the contrary, some things did not take him seriously. Among them, Uchiha did not hide it, but Chiju was in the dark.

Therefore, over the years, he has been silently doing one thing, which is to weaken Chiju's rights. The method is very simple, and it was not what he did this first. In fact, Chiju Tobirama was doing this long ago.

The branches of the Qianshou family will be slowly decomposed and assimilated through the thousands of people in the village. As long as the time is long enough, the Qianshou family will be subtly integrated into the village.

The reason for doing this is very simple. Qianju is the founding clan of the village. If they always maintain a high degree of independence, it will be detrimental to the development of the village and it will also be a constraint on the Naruto. When the interests of Naruto and Qianju are different, the choices of the village are all real problems.

Moreover, because of the special nature of Chiaju, they cannot deal with Uchiha. On the contrary, they have to make concessions in some aspects, which has made Sarutobi Hinasen feel extremely uncomfortable for many years.

But the subtle influence over the years proved that his policy was effective. Compared with ten years ago, the power of the Thousand Hand clan was much worse than before, with only the direct trunk and a few close branches left. However, the power of Konoha was not weakened, but was greatly enhanced.
