After staying in Konoha's frontline camp for about half a day, he learned a little about the war situation, and after visiting some of the wounded, Maples left the camp and returned in the direction of Konoha.
Ten days later.
At the main gate of Konoha.
Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, Maples stretched his body and smiled.
It's been nearly two years since he left Konoha to participate in the Third Shinobi World War, and he came back again. For him, it's been more than five years.
When he left, his strength was indeed very strong, but at that time, he only opened the Third Gate of the Hachimon Tonkou, and he wasn't sure if he could win against any Kage Level Ninja.
Whether it was Danzo or Sarutobi, they were a great threat to him.
But.
When he broke through the Fourth Gate in the camp, his strength began to advance by leaps and bounds, and he stepped into the Kage Level in one fell swoop, and he became an extremely difficult Kage Level Ninja.
After that, he had opened the fifth gate, cultivated the Lightning Escape secret technique, and increased time acceleration to five times … After all of this, he no longer feared anyone!
Konoha only had Minato left, and he had the Flying Thunder God and Shiki Fujin, which was a bit tricky for him, but that's all.
In terms of dealing with him, with his current speed, Minato won't be able to touch him. At most, if Minato wants to leave, he won't be able to stop him.
The only risk is that Minato will put a Flying Thunder God Mark on his body.
That's really troublesome.
Because he can't remove the Flying Thunder God Mark with his current means, he can't even sleep peacefully, and he has to guard against Minato suddenly flying over and throwing a seal on him.
But it's not that easy for Minato to leave a Flying Thunder God Mark on him, as long as he's not careless, it's almost impossible for him to do it under the Five Times Speed.
"Maples -sama."
Konoha's Ninja guarding the door had already perceived the existence of Maples, and they also determined his identity through Chakra. When he came over, they immediately saluted Maples.
Everyone looked at Maples with respect.
Although Maples was very young, he killed Sandaime Raikage, Hanzo the Salamander, and Maples, and he was already a well-known hero in Konoha.
"Yes."
Maples smiled and nodded at Konoha's Ninja and walked in.
As a transmigrator, he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to Konoha, but after all, this was the place where he had lived for many years, so he had never considered leaving Konoha.
Now, he won't leave Konoha, if Sarutobi and Danzo dare to attack him after the war, then he won't mind cleaning up Konoha.
Of course.
If Orochimaru becomes the Fourth Hokage, he should be able to clean up all the elders, and even if he doesn't do anything to Sarutobi, he will inevitably gather all the power and influence of Sarutobi, so that Sarutobi can 'retire' with peace of mind.
In short, no matter what the situation was, the development was not bad.
This was the relaxed feeling that came with strength.
"Hey, today is the opening day of this store."
After walking on the street for a while, Maples suddenly stopped and looked at the newly opened store not far away, with the sign of Ichiraku Ramen.
Maples smiled and walked toward the store and said: "Well, let me see the power of the legendary 'Otsutsuki Ichiraku'."
At the door of Ichiraku Ramen.
There was a long line here, and there were several familiar figures in the line. There were former students in the same class, Inuzuka Chi and others, and Kai was also among them.
"Ah … Big Brother?"
Kakashi was also in the line, and when he saw Maples coming from a distance, he was surprised, he thought that he saw wrong, but he quickly reacted.
Maples nodded to Kakashi and said: "When did you come back?"
"A few days ago."
Kakashi responded a little weakly.
A few months ago, he was promoted to Tokubetsu Jonin.
A ten-year-old Tokubetsu Jonin, this is a record in Konoha, at least Maples became a Tokubetsu Jonin when he was ten years old.
But almost immediately after his promotion, he learned that Kaede killed Hanzo alone in the Rain Village and defeated the Rain Village, so he immediately received a huge blow.
Obviously, he was only one year older than him.
The gap between them has become a little ridiculous.
He remembered that when he was very young, although he couldn't beat Maples, sometimes he could barely win. He always had the confidence to catch up with Maples, but now his confidence was almost gone.
"Why are you so depressed?"
Maples smiled and said: "I heard that you were promoted to Tokubetsu Jonin, it shouldn't take long for you to become an official Jonin."
"Well …"
Kakashi was still a little weak.
Kiba, Gai, and the others were quiet at this time. Even Gai, who was young and hot-blooded, stood in front of Maples at this time and felt the same pressure.
First of all, Maples looked like he was sixteen years old, much older than them. Second, the most important thing was that Maples's record was already well-known in Konoha.
The name of Silver Flash shocked the entire ninja world.
Even though she was in the same class as Feng Ye, when she faced him, she instinctively felt a sense of distance between them. It was a sense of difference in class.
While Maples was chatting with Kakashi, planning to see the results of Kakashi's recent practice and guide him in Lightning Ninjutsu.
Wouch!
An Anbu ninja suddenly appeared.
"Maples -sama, Hokage-sama is looking for you."
In the past, when the Anbu found him, they basically just gave him orders indifferently, but now it was obviously different, not only did they call him 'Sama', but their tone was also respectful.
"I got it."
Maples waved at the Anbu.
The Anbu nodded, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Maples didn't care and turned his head to look at Kakashi and continued to answer Kakashi's previous doubts about Lightning Ninjutsu.
Kakashi saw that Maples finished answering his questions and sat down in the noodle shop, and hesitantly said: "Big brother … Hokage-sama is looking for you, won't you go?"
"Let's finish eating first, there's no hurry, it's probably nothing important."
Maples smiled indifferently.
Gai and the others who were sitting at the other table heard Maples's words and couldn't help but look at each other. If they were summoned by the Hokage, they would immediately put down what they were doing and rush over, not daring to have the slightest delay.
Maples and them are indeed not people of the same world.
After a while.
After eating three bowls of noodles, Maples wiped his mouth with satisfaction and patted Kakashi's shoulder: "I didn't bring money, you pay the bill."
Wouch!
Maple Night's silhouette disappeared, leaving Kakashi sitting there with a depressed expression.
… …
The Hokage's Office.
Maples pushed the door and walked in, he looked at Sarutobi who was sitting behind the desk and said: "Hokage-sama, what's the matter?"
"Yes."
Sarutobi didn't care that Maples didn't immediately rush over, he put down the document in his hand and looked at Maples: "Our scouts found a small town called Roran in the desert, there seems to be a very strong Chakra in the town, it's judged to be a great threat …"
"After careful exploration, we got the information that there's a huge energy buried in the ground called the Dragon Veins, this energy is so strong that it seems to be able to distort time and space, six years ago, a person appeared there out of thin air and gradually took control of the place, if we don't deal with it, it's likely to be a great threat … I was thinking about who should deal with this matter, you came back at the right time, I'm relieved that you're here."
Listening to Sarutobi's statement, Maples tilted his head.
Isn't this the plot of the Lost Tower?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the timing is right, but he remembered that Minato was supposed to deal with it, but Sarutobi came to him.
"Dragon Veins … Um …"
When he was thinking about it, Maples didn't know why, but he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, his intuition told him that he should go.
Roran's Dragon Veins are related to the power of distorting time and space, and he has the power of the Illusory Clock … The energy of the Dragon Veins may have an effect on the Illusory Clock!
Thinking of this.
Maples made a decision and said: "Listening to Hokage-sama's description, it seems that there's some danger, it must be dealt with as soon as possible, then I'll go."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Sarutobi nodded at Maples, he found a document and handed it over.
