Namikaze Minato was also a little speechless, and then the topic turned back to this war, "After the Earth Kingdom surrendered, the Wind Kingdom should be almost there, and the Third Ninja World War will also come to an end."
"Ming, what are your plans next?"
"Plan?" Hatake Akira smiled slightly, "I have already planned it!"
"After the war is over, I will return to the life I have always expected. I will teach at the Ninja School and train the future pillars of Konoha. By the way, I will also take time to practice the magic of the three holy places."
"that's it?"
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but raise his voice, "I'm going to keep the position of Hokage's advisor for you, aren't you going to come and help me?"
"Teacher, even without me, you can still manage the entire Konoha."
Hatake Akira rejected Minato Namikaze, "Teacher, I really just want to be a supporting ninja quietly. Please don't consider me for many troublesome things."
"You really are..."
"Forget it, whatever. It's up to you."
When Minato Namikaze saw that Hatake Akira had returned to his old ways, he felt helpless and could only let Hatake Akira do as he pleased.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Hatake Akira didn't think there was anything wrong with it, instead he was very happy.
After the master and disciple chatted for a while, Hatake Akira found an excuse to leave, reopened a water-shaped space barrier, and returned to the battlefield of Taki Country in an instant.
Although the Land of Earth has surrendered now, Hatake Akira still has to deal with some follow-up matters.
For example, there is the issue of the ransom of the Land of Earth, the matter of the Seven-tailed Jinchuriki of the Land of Taki, and the Land of Wind, which has not surrendered yet, also needs Hatake Akira to put pressure on them.
……
When the Third Ninja World War was about to come to an end, Uchiha Obito and Zetsu had already found Nagato and others from the Akatsuki organization.
"I think that when you truly experience pain, you will still stick to your ideals."
After saying this, Uchiha Obito looked at Nagato deeply, then turned and walked into the rain.
Obviously, Uchiha Obito's first meeting with Akatsuki was not ideal. As long as Yahiko was in Akatsuki, Nagato would never accept Uchiha Obito's ideas.
"Ze, you've also seen that Nagato is showing some signs of losing control."
"Haha, it won't get out of control."
Black Zetsu, who was possessed by White Zetsu, spoke sinisterly, "We can find a chance to get rid of Yahiko, and at the same time, we can help Nagato further activate the power of the Rinnegan."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
Uchiha Obito turned around and took a look. The three black magatama in his eye sockets slowly rotated. "Seeing the Samsara Eye in Nagato's eyes, I have the urge to compete with him."
"I always feel that with my current strength, I can definitely replace Nagato!"
"Obito, don't be stupid..."
Black Zetsu spoke again, "With your talent, you can indeed fully unleash the power of Madara's eyes, but the Gaiden Samsara Jutsu is a life-for-life technique."
"I guess you don't want your subsequent plans to go wrong, right?"
"Ah."
Uchiha Obito nodded and did not argue with Black Zetsu anymore.
Just as Black Zetsu said, Uchiha Obito's mission is to let Nagato use the Rinnegan's eye technique, the Outer Path of Samsara, to resurrect Uchiha Madara. The rest is not something Uchiha Obito can interfere with.
But even so, Uchiha Obito did not extinguish his desire for the Rinnegan.
After all, since he turned evil, Uchiha Obito has understood one thing: it is better to rely on oneself than on others, and only when one becomes strong can one be truly strong.
"Tell me about your plan, Jue."
Uchiha Obito looked at Zetsu behind him, "How do you plan to get rid of Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki?"
"Haha, of course it's a frame-up!"
Black Zetsu smiled sinisterly, "Don't forget, Obito, your ability is very similar to that of Hatake Akira now. You can use some tricks to put the blame of Yahiko's death on Konoha and Hatake Akira."
"I think that by then, not only will Yahiko die, but Nagato will also hate Konoha and Hatake Akira to the core."
"Haha, I can't wait to see whether Hatake Akira can still maintain his invincibility when facing the Rinnegan!"
"Just do as you say."
Uchiha Obito did not refute, but looked deeply in the direction of Konoha Village, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to solidify into substance.
"Hatake Akira, wait for me. I'll settle accounts with you when I get back!"
After saying that, the three magatama in Uchiha Obito's eye sockets spun rapidly, and in an instant they turned into the Mangekyō Sharingan.
As a spiral space wave came, Uchiha Obito and Zetsu were instantly sucked in.

The next day, the cunning Rasa led the Wind Country ninjas back to the Sand Village and began to submit a document of peace to Konoha.
Naturally, Minato Namikaze accepted it with pleasure, but for the Wind Country ninjas captured by Hatake Akira, Minato Namikaze still used Hatake Akira's method to deal with them, and asked the Wind Country to pay a ransom of two thousand taels per person.
As for why the ransom increased from one thousand taels per person to two thousand taels per person, it was naturally because of the rules set by Hatake Akira yesterday.
This really made Kazekage Rasa very angry. In the last Ninja World War and the war before that, there was no precedent of spending money to redeem one's own ninjas.
Hatake Akira's move was a first, causing great suffering to the two countries of Fengtu.
But the same thing still applies, since they have the ability to start a war first, then when the war fails, Fengtu and other countries will naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.
It seems that it was a mercy for both Fengtu and Akira that he did not kill the prisoners!
When Minato Namikaze agreed to Kazekage Rasa's request for peace, it also indicated that the Third Ninja World War had come to an end, and Konoha and the Land of Fire became the final winners.
Moreover, Konoha and the Land of Fire won over all the enemies, big and small, and made a fortune in this war.
"A bow!"
"Two bows!"
"Three bows!"
"The ceremony is over, please let the Fourth Hokage present the flowers!"
"Next, please present flowers to the heroes in an orderly manner!"
At the Konoha Memorial Garden, a group of Konoha high-ranking officials led by Minato Namikaze, as well as many Konoha ninjas and villagers, are mourning the Konoha ninjas who died in the war under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.
The atmosphere was heavy and sad. There was no irrelevant expression on anyone's face, only deep mourning for the deceased.
When all the procedures were completed, the white cloth covering a newly built tall memorial tablet was unveiled by Minato Namikaze himself.
"Everyone, we have won the Third Ninja World War!"
When the white cloth on the memorial was taken off, Namikaze Minato raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone who participated in this war, whether they are heroes who died or those who are still alive, will be remembered in our hearts!"
"Long live!"
"Konoha Ninja Road prospers!"
"Long live!"
"Konoha Ninja Road prospers!"
As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, the shouts of a group of Konoha ninjas and many villagers resounded through the sky, startling a flock of birds and drifting away into the distance.
After everyone had expressed their frustration and excitement through shouting, Namikaze Minato raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, the heroes who died deserve our remembrance, and the heroes who are still alive also deserve our remembrance."
“But this should not be just a slogan. Those who have sacrificed or survived should receive substantial rewards from the village.”
"We should not let heroes shed blood and tears, we should ensure that the orphans and widows of heroes receive corresponding generous treatment."
"I also know that doing this has the meaning of making up for mistakes afterwards, but the dead are gone, and this is all the village can do for them now."
“I feel helpless about this…”
"But I believe that death cannot defeat us, nor will it defeat the new will of fire, nor will it defeat our proud backbone as the super hidden village in the ninja world!"
"Hatake Akira!"
After an impromptu speech, Minato Namikaze called out Hatake Akira's name.
"exist!"
In this situation, Hatake Akira remained calm and knew what he should do.
Taking a firm step forward, Hatake Akira stood below Namikaze Minato.
"Next, the vice-principal of the Konoha Ninja School and the deputy director of the Konoha Ninja Library, Akira Hatake, will give a speech and announce a series of compensation details."
After saying that, Minato Namikaze walked down from the platform and gave the stage to Akira Hatake.
Akira Hatake, who is already ten years old this year, is growing very fast and changes every day.
Because of the world of Naruto, the ten-year-old Akira Hatake is now quite mature. In terms of appearance, it doesn't seem strange for Akira Hatake to say that he is fourteen years old this year.
Steadily stepping onto the platform, Hatake Akira looked at the sea of heads below, feeling filled with emotion.
I remember when I first entered the Konoha Ninja School, I was one of the people standing in the audience. The one standing on the stage at that time was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But now, the ones standing on the high platform and commanding the world are Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake. It took only six years for the two-level reversal to happen.
The person who has probably changed the most in these six years is probably Akira Hatake himself.
When he first arrived, Hatake Akira was very inexperienced and very nervous.
But the subsequent forced development made Akira Hatake grow at an unimaginable speed.
Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of mentality, Akira Hatake has undergone a drastic change.
This change can't be said to be good or bad. Generally speaking, Hatake Akira still yearns for a lazy life, but the way he achieves it has quietly changed.
Hatake Akira plans to create a more stable and peaceful environment first, put an end to all conspiracies and intrigues, and then live his own idle life.
"Everyone, I won't make any long-winded opening remarks. I don't think you want to hear my nonsense."
"First, I want to talk about what the Yondaime-sama Hokage called the New Will of Fire."
"The word 'new' here represents innovation, which is to expand and continue the original foundation, rather than replace it."
