Konoha Victory Celebration

Chapter 37 Konoha Victory Celebration

Konoha Village, Ninja Academy.

While waiting for the next class, Suzuki sensed the memories of his clone and realized that he had left Ohara.

Seeing Robin's obedient and sensible childhood memories through the clone's memories, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

Soon, the teacher arrived.

However, unlike before, he would immediately start giving serious lectures to the students as soon as he entered the classroom.

This time, the teacher, with a serious expression, shouted at the students in the class:

"Students! Students!"

"Everyone, sit down!"

After the students were all quietly seated, the teacher solemnly announced with a serious expression:

"Now I have something very important to tell you!"

"We won't have the last class; school will end earlier today!"

"Why? Because today is the day our hero of Konoha returns to the village!"

"All students from the ninja academy must go to the village entrance to greet them!"

"Everyone, follow me to the playground to assemble later!"

"Did you hear that?"

The dozens of students in the class showed joy on their faces when they heard the news.

So they answered in unison:

"I heard you!"

They were certainly very happy.

I am happy for the village's victory, and I am also happy to be able to see so many real ninjas up close.

Of course, there might also be another reason why there are no classes.

Soon, the teacher led the class to the playground.

On the playground, the more than 1,000 students from the first to the sixth grade of the Ninja Academy lined up in rows, quietly waiting for their teachers to lead them to the village entrance.

Suzuki and Hanako were also standing among them.

At this moment, his expression was calm, and his heart was completely undisturbed.

He already knew that World War II would end around this time.

Six months ago, after guessing that Kushina Uzumaki had been kidnapped, he predicted that the war would end at the beginning of the year.

Indeed, it is currently February of Konoha Calendar 37.

He also found it difficult to feel the same sense of admiration for those ninjas who returned from the battlefield as he did for his classmates.

After a while, about half an hour later, the teachers leading the group arrived.

One of them, who appeared to be a higher-ranking teacher, showed a satisfied expression when he saw the students lined up neatly on the playground.

Then he shouted loudly:

"Now, everyone is following their own teacher!"

"Then, they will be sent out in batches according to their grade level, from oldest to youngest!"

The more than one thousand students on the playground answered in unison:

"good!"

Soon, the students were all standing behind their respective class teachers.

Suzuki and his classmates stood still, quietly watching their classes line up as they began to leave the school gate.

A moment later, their teacher waved to someone behind them.

Suzuki and his classmates followed their teacher and left the playground.

Konoha Village, at the village entrance.

At this time, many facilities had already been set up at the main entrance.

This includes things like the platform where the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, will speak later, the banners along the road to prevent passersby from trespassing, and the celebratory ribbons and lanterns.

There were many villagers gathered on both sides of the road, making it quite lively and noisy.

At this moment, the students of the Konoha Ninja Academy, led by their teachers, arrived at a location relatively close to the high platform.

Suzuki stood at the edge of the line and turned to look around.

When he saw the very conspicuous Might Guy and Might Day father and son, he nodded to them in greeting.

Just as Suzuki was about to turn around and look at the Third Hokage, he caught a glimpse of a head of white hair on either side of the road out of the corner of his eye.

Suzuki narrowed his eyes, then turned around as if nothing had happened.

He knew it was Kakashi Hatake!

Seeing Kakashi and thinking of his father, Suzuki became interested in what was about to happen.

About an hour later, numerous figures could be faintly seen on the road outside the village.

Soon, the figure at the very front became clearly visible!

That's Konoha's White Fang - Hatake Sakumo!

With the same white hair and wearing a Konoha ninja vest, he had just returned from the battlefield and had a rather cold demeanor.

And following closely behind him were the three Sannin in their youth.

Princess of Konoha - Tsunade Senju! The Cold-Hearted Lord - Orochimaru! The Toad Sage - Jiraiya!

All three of them were also wearing Konoha vests.

However, Tsunade's expression seemed a little off, and her teammates Orochimaru and Jiraiya, standing on either side of her, seemed to be talking to her.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been waiting at the village entrance for a long time, smiled kindly and gentlely when he saw the group.

Before White Fang and the three Sannin even entered the village, the Hokage slowly walked towards the village entrance from a distance.

Several high-ranking Konoha officials who were with him, including Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo, also walked towards the door.

Soon, White Fang was the first to enter through the main gate, followed by the three Sannin, and finally the ordinary ninjas, many of whom were visibly injured.

The ninja academy students around him were very excited to see this, and they all stood on tiptoe to watch.

The residents of Konoha Village on both sides of the road became increasingly enthusiastic, cheering for their hero.

When heroes enter a village, a commendation ceremony is naturally held.

Hiruzen Sarutobi begins by recounting the exploits of some relatively unknown minor ninjas on the battlefield.

Several high-ranking officials standing next to him would occasionally chime in, and when they got excited, they would even burst into tears.

Many of the ninja academy students and Konoha villagers lining both sides of the road also became emotionally agitated.

Suzuki remained calm, watching from afar as the high-ranking officials of Konoha began their respective performances.

More than an hour later, we finally arrived at the important part!

Suzuki also perked up at this moment, watching the classic scene unfolding on the high platform.

After telling the stories of those ordinary ninjas, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stepped down from the platform and affectionately took the hands of the three legendary Sannin and White Fang as they returned to the platform.

At this moment, many people in the audience became even more enthusiastic!

"Ah! It's Lord White Fang!"

"Lord Sakumo is invincible!"

"Konoha's White Fang! Konoha's White Fang! Konoha's White Fang!"

"."

Countless figures were calling out Sakumo Hatake's name in unison.

Occasionally, people would call out the names of the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha and the Hokage, but these were so faintly heard that they were almost completely drowned out.

On the high platform, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was about to introduce his disciples, the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, but before he could speak, he was drowned out by the shouts.

But he only paused for a moment, his face still bearing a kind and friendly smile.

Looking at the cheering crowd below the stage, he glanced meaningfully at Sakumo Hatake beside him.

Suddenly, the Third Hokage smiled happily, grabbed Sakumo Hatake's hand, and shouted loudly to the many Konoha villagers below the stage:

"Ha ha ha ha."

"That's right, next up is Konoha's turn in this war~"

"He deserves the most credit and has made the greatest contribution!"

"Our greatest hero, Konoha's White Fang—Sakumo Hatake!"
