The leader was Darui, who had the typical appearance of a Kumogakure ninja: dark, rough skin, thick lips, and a body that seemed to be cast in bronze and iron.

You can see the characters "thunder" and "water" tattooed on his left and right shoulders respectively, and he carries a white ninja sword on his back.

"We in Kumogakure can agree to any of Konoha's demands, as long as you release Lord Raikage and Yugito."

Darui spoke in a deep voice.

He sized up Qing Si.

He was still very young during the Third Shinobi World War and never saw Kiyoshi's appearance in person.

This was the first time he had ever met Kiyoshi.

He felt a slight sense of pressure at first glance.

That's a warning instinct that the body has developed through years of fighting.

His subconscious was reminding him that Kiyoshi was a dangerous person!

"no problem."

Qingsi nodded.

This time, the Hidden Cloud Village gave up quite a lot.

The first thing was ceding territory and paying reparations.

By ceding Turtle Island to Konoha, they lost the method for cultivating perfect Jinchuriki.

Killer Bee and Yugito were able to quickly gain the approval of the Tailed Beasts thanks in no small part to the unique environment of Turtle Island.

This is why Kumogakure was able to produce two decent Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, and even a perfect Jinchuriki like Killer Bee.

Other countries have adopted extremely conservative approaches to the Tailed Beasts.

Both Konoha and Sunagakure have adopted the practice of sealing away the power of the Tailed Beasts, and will not use their power unless absolutely necessary, because it is easy to lose control.

The Hidden Rocks and Hidden Mist are self-explanatory.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was considered a perfect Jinchūriki by outsiders because he and the Tailed Beast within him were controlled by Obito.

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure, and the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Sunagakure and Iwagakure, can only be said to be able to use the power of the Tailed Beasts, but they cannot reach a perfect level.

The so-called perfection is to be in sync with the tailed beasts and have a resonance with them.

Chakra was originally a power of connection, so when a Jinchuriki resonates with a Tailed Beast, they can unleash even greater power.

Without this, the next Jinchuriki of Kumogakure will likely have a hard time controlling the Tailed Beasts.

Secondly, there is the substantial amount of money and resources required for compensation.

These losses also caused the Hidden Cloud Village considerable financial pain.

"Go and bring the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Raikage."

Qingsi spoke.

"Yes."

Uzuki Yugao, who had been waiting in a dark corner, immediately went to the Konoha prison.

Before long, she brought back two people.

Both the Raikage and Yugito were wearing specially made straitjackets. The straitjackets were extremely tough and contained the power of sealing techniques, preventing the two from using any ninjutsu.

After all, this is the center of Konoha, so protective measures are essential.

Darui didn't say anything when he saw the gray straitjackets on the two of them, he just nodded and let the person behind him help Mabui up.

The teakman shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.

As she turned around, she secretly glared at Kiyoshi out of the corner of her eye.

She would never forget the humiliation that Uchiha Kiyoshi had brought her.

She'll find a way to pay it back someday.

"Darui, who is the Raikage now?"

The Fourth Raikage, Ai, asked weakly.

"It's still you, Fourth Generation Lord."

"Darui said respectfully."

"Yeah."

The Fourth Raikage was somewhat surprised.

Why do people in the village think so highly of him?

Knowing this, the Fourth Raikage fell silent; this was not the place to talk.

He didn't want to stay in Konoha for even a second longer.

"So nice to work with."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly and summoned an ANBU ninja to see the guest out.

Darui is the Fifth Raikage in the original work.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

The official guidebook says he possesses an overwhelming amount of chakra, and although his performance in "Boruto" is mediocre, he is a guy with great potential.

Of course, Kiyoshi didn't think Darui's lightning style was stronger than his.

He can generate electrical current directly from his cells, greatly enhancing both his Lightning Release ninjutsu and his Storm Release ninjutsu (a bloodline limit).

In this respect, probably no one in the entire ninja world can compare.

It's like Kiyoshi's body was specially modified into a container suitable for Lightning Release, something even the progenitor of the Yotsuki clan couldn't match.

…………

the other side.

"Kakashi?"

Rin Nohara, who was holding Mio Onohara, ran into Kakashi.

"Lin, it's been a long time."

Kakashi reached out and waved.

Rin Nohara has now retired from the front lines of ninja life and spends most of her time at Konoha Hospital as a pure medical ninja.

He also joined the Dark Division and usually carries out missions.

Over time, the two had much less contact.

"Is this the child you adopted?"

Kakashi looked at Nohara Mio.

It has to be said that this child is fair-skinned and rosy-cheeked, just as cute as Nohara Rin was when she was a child.

There was also a purple greasepaint on the child's face.

Kakashi guessed that this was a tradition of the Nohara family.

Just like the Inuzuka clan, they have worn red paint patterns on their faces for generations.

"Isn't it cute?"

When Nohara Rin talked about Nohara Mio, she nudged Nohara Rin's small face with her cheek.

"This is Uncle Kakashi. Say hello to Uncle Kakashi."

Nohara Lin spoke.

"Kakashi... Hello, Uncle."

Nohara Mio spoke in a childish voice.

"Um... hello."

Kakashi probably wanted to retort that he wasn't old enough to be an uncle yet.

However, seeing Nohara Rin's happy face, he was speechless for a moment.

Sometimes, due to a series of coincidences, what is missed is truly missed.

Kakashi felt a faint sense of melancholy.

If he had always valued his comrades, would his ending with Nohara Rin have been any different?

Kakashi had thought about this question more than once.

But he always thought about the Sharingan that Obito gave him before he died.

This made Kakashi feel guilty.

Obito belongs to... Irene.

As Obito's best comrade, he couldn't do something like stealing someone else's love.

With this left eye, I will watch over Rin and protect her for Obito.

Kakashi unconsciously touched the socket of his left eye.

Why is Uncle Kakashi covering his eyes?

Nohara Mio asked, puzzled.

"Hmm...that's an adult matter."

A complex expression flickered across Nohara Rin's face.

"If reincarnation really exists, Obito would probably be several years old by now."

Nohara Rin sighed.

She still remembers that silly boy who liked to fawn over her.

"Maybe."

Kakashi said in a low voice.

When the two started talking about Obito, the atmosphere suddenly became quite somber.

"Are you going to visit Obito, Kakashi?"

Rin Nohara took the initiative to start a new topic, looking at the flowers in Kakashi's hand.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I visited him."

Kakashi managed a forced smile beneath his black mask.

Perhaps because Minato was very busy, Kakashi noticed that Minato rarely visited Obito.

After Kiyoshi became Hokage, he actually went there more often.

Kakashi knew that this involved complex political issues, and that period was related to the selection of the Hokage, so even Minato-sensei couldn't act according to his own preferences.

But as long as the result is good, that's fine.

Kakashi had been in the Anbu for many years and had become accustomed to the darkness.

Beneath the bright and beautiful surface of Konoha, there lies a dark and oppressive atmosphere.

This is an unavoidable problem; darkness exists everywhere in the world.

"That's it."

Nohara Lin nodded.

The two chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Kakashi continued walking forward, holding the flower in his hand.

He stepped over the red torii gate and arrived at a memorial site.

There are many square stone tablets here; these are the memorial tablets awarded by Konoha to its heroes.

The hero's name will be engraved on top, and there will be a red Konoha symbol below.

Obito sacrificed himself for righteousness and even gave him his Sharingan, which undoubtedly aligns with the "Will of Fire" promoted by Konoha.
