His reputation in Konoha at the moment actually isn't good. It's even possible that if he appears in the village, he might not be welcomed, and would likely get punched in the face.
——
Konoha Village.
Asuma, Shisui, Might Guy, and Might Duy, Nohara Rin, Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo, Kakuzu, Hiruko, and others had all gathered at Aomi's house.
These were all Aomi's friends, and close relations of his subordinates.
After winning the Third Ninja World War, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought the troops back to the village, only to mysteriously vanish.
However, no one paid attention to this Third Hokage.
Even Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo's defection didn't bother anyone.
Let them go then, Konoha doesn't lack a few ambitious ninjas!
Everyone was celebrating the victory of the war and discussing Aomi's glorious achievements.
When Aomi's Chakra erupted, Konoha's ninjas didn't think anything unusual. They instinctively believed that Lord Aomi had awakened new powers again, advancing to a higher level!
Even the aura of Chakra exuded a strong sense of oppression. From now on, Konoha should be invincible in the Ninja World!
"Speaking of which, when exactly is brother coming back..."
After Shisui and Asuma excitedly recounted Aomi's teachings on Ninjutsu to everyone, Shisui said eagerly, "I can't wait to see brother already. I really want to ask when he became so strong!"
"To secretly become the great hero of the Ninja World, I must make him cook grilled fish for me for a week straight!"
Hatake Sakumo and Kakuzu exchanged a glance and laughed at Shisui's cute remark, responding in agreement.
"Right, I need Aomi to give me a raise!" Kakuzu laughed heartily, and surprisingly showed a hint of kindness on his usually rigid face when he looked at Shisui.
"If there's a raise involved, count me in..." Hatake Sakumo nodded in deep agreement:
"Although Kakuzu and I did nothing in this war, letting Aomi handle it all, but it was still hard work for the two of us!"
Beside him, Kakashi looked at his father speechlessly but still chuckled.
Since Aomi saved Hatake Sakumo, this Konoha White Fang seemed like a different person, combining humor and quirkiness.
But this change, Kakashi truly liked from the bottom of his heart.
"Sigh, can't wait for Aomi to become the Fourth Hokage and hurry and push the old man out of the position!"
Asuma slapped his thigh: "He's too old! If he still occupies that position, then I'll personally..."
Everyone burst into laughter with good nature.
What a dutiful son, Asuma!
The reason they gathered here was to give Aomi a surprise.
Everyone prepared confetti cannons, candles, and already prepared cakes...
They wanted to make up for Aomi missing his birthday during the war.
Although they didn't know when Aomi would return, everyone was patiently waiting.
"By the way, where did Tsunade go?"
Shisui suddenly realized someone was missing, scratched his head and said, "I remember I went to inform her..."
Asuma cleared his throat, and everyone's gaze became ambiguous.
"It's an adult affair, kids better not ask too much..."
Hatake Sakumo spoke in a teasing, knowing tone: "Maybe you'll call Tsunade not as a teacher anymore, Shisui, but as sister-in-law!"
Everyone laughed out loud again.
They all took pleasure in the situation, understanding that Tsunade was just torn because of her status.
But once Aomi returns, the outcome is inevitable.
The princess of Senju combined with the king of the Uchiha Clan and even the Ninja World, isn't that an extremely fitting match?
No one would disagree...
But amongst the group, only Might Duy smiled with difficulty, feeling something amiss...
Something's not right!
Recalling what Aomi advised him before the war—"Uncle Duy, I still have to ask you to take care of them. The upcoming war will be very cruel..."
This Blue Beast of Konoha didn't think Aomi was overly worried about the Ninja World War.
Because of the tremendous prowess Aomi showed later, it was clear that no so-called Shadow was his equal.
As the Nursing Home guardian of Aomi's house, Might Duy knew Aomi was never an anxious person, his words must have been corresponded.
But, the war has been won, so what exactly was Aomi worrying about?
Might Duy pondered, unable to find the answer to the problem, and didn't want to disrupt the current atmosphere. He could only hope he misunderstood.
Night fell.
Aomi still hadn't returned.
But to give Aomi a surprise, everyone meticulously tidied up the house and went to sleep in shifts.
On duty, Shisui attentively sensed Chakra...
Must let brother feel the birthday atmosphere when he returns home!
And Aomi, who everyone was thinking about, was softly comforting Kaguya: "It's okay, it's okay..."
Kaguya raised her gaze, eyes trembling, looked at Aomi nervously, and asked, "Really, is it really okay?"
