The reconstruction of Konoha has basically come to an end.
Looking down at the brand new Konoha, Minato's nerves, which had been tense for a while, slowly relaxed.
He turned around and thanked Ida Kazu in front of him.
"Thanks to everyone's help, the reconstruction of the village was able to proceed so quickly."
Ida Kazu was a very kind civilian constructor. He chuckled and said, "Hokage, please don't say thank you again."
"We and everyone in Konoha are compatriots from the same land. We are family. It is our responsibility to help our family."
Minato nodded, then looked to his side, and saw Hyuga Hizashi, who was already the captain of the ANBU, and said, "Make sure to send everyone home safely."
The ninjas in the village can now handle the rest of the reconstruction work themselves.
Although the ninja world is peaceful nowadays, there are still some bandits and robbers in the Land of Fire.
In order to ensure the safety of the craftsmen friends who helped Konoha, Minato specially organized the ninjas in the village, divided them into areas, and sent everyone home safely.
"Yes!" Hizashi responded.
After merging the Anbu that was directly under the Third Hokage, Minato had more power than ever before.
Afterwards, Ida Kazu left the Hokage's office.
After Minato finished processing the documents at hand, he stood up from his seat and shook his shoulders.
"I'll go away for a moment."
Afterwards, Minato briefly explained the remaining matters to the guard and temporarily left the Hokage's office.
It has been a few days since the Ninja School resumed classes. As the Hokage, Minato is naturally very concerned about what is happening here.
The ninja school mechanism established by the Second Hokage made it so that ninjas no longer only came from those families in the ninja world, but also gave children from ordinary families who came from ordinary backgrounds but had the potential to become ninjas the opportunity to become ninjas.
The advantages of this system are quite obvious. In the decades since the establishment of the Konoha Ninja School, there have been many outstanding ninjas in the village who come from ordinary people's families.
For example, Jiraiya and Orochimaru among the Sannin of Konoha, and he, the current Fourth Hokage.
With Minato's ability, as long as he didn't want anyone to notice, no one in Konoha would be able to discover his whereabouts.
He didn't want to alarm the teachers and students who were in class at the Ninja School, so he didn't greet anyone.
As soon as he entered the first floor of the teaching building, the noisy sound fell into Minato's ears.
Minato couldn't help but smile. The new students who had just enrolled in the Ninja School all took classes on this floor.
It would certainly be quite lively when these children, who are generally only about six years old, get together.
Through the window, Minato saw the situation in a classroom clearly. The Chunin teacher on the podium did not look very good, but the children below did not care about that.
In the noisy environment, there was only one child quietly flipping through the ninja manual in his hand. The surrounding environment seemed not to affect him at all.
Uchiha Itachi.
Minato had long noticed the special features that distinguished Itachi from his peers. He was calm and composed, far beyond the typical features of children of his age.
His personality might be related to the environment in which he grew up. Fugaku might be very competent and excellent as a clan leader and ninja.
But when it comes to educating his son, that guy seems to be a little too strict.
After observing here for a while, Minato left.
He secretly observed everyone in the Ninja School, and finally walked to the training ground behind the teaching building.
This training ground was rebuilt together with the school and is much more spacious than the original one.
Just coming here, Minato couldn't help but think of some things in the past.
The first battle with Uchiha Yoruki. And some faces that can only exist in his heart.
He still remembered that on that bench, there was a gentle girl who always encouraged that boy who was a little bit nervous.
Thinking of this, Minato's eyes gradually became moist.
"I'm sorry that your teacher didn't protect you well."
Minato murmured softly in his mouth, this was his biggest regret after his rebirth.
After calming down a little, Minato left the Ninja School and returned to the Hokage Building.
Konoha's barrier class is set up inside the Hokage Building.
Now the reconstruction of the village has been basically completed, and the only important task left is the reconstruction of the defensive barrier.
At Kushina's strong request, Minato had no choice but to give this job to her.
After all, in Konoha today, besides Minato, the only one who has the ability to re-set this kind of barrier is Kushina.
According to Kushina's ability, she should be able to sense it when he approaches here.
However, by this time, Minato had already walked out the door, but Kushina still didn't notice him.
This was because she was too focused on the work in her hands.
Minato knew that Kushina had always been feeling resentful because, as a Konoha ninja, she was unable to participate in the first two wars.
After Minato became Hokage, she no longer had the chance to go out of the village on missions.
Setting up the barrier is of great significance to Konoha, so since she has the opportunity to do her best, Kushina will of course do it wholeheartedly.
So during this period of time, she left Naruto in the care of Mikoto.
Minato did not disturb Kushina. After watching for a while, he turned and left.
In the evening, Minato finished his work and headed to the Uchiha clan.
"You're here."
At this time, Mikoto was preparing dinner for the two children as well as Itachi and Fugaku who were about to return home from school.
Minato nodded and walked into the room.
At this time, there were only two little guys, Naruto and Sasuke, in the room.
On the floor, Naruto approached Sasuke cautiously, but before he got far, the latter gave him a slightly dissatisfied look.
Seeing this, Naruto shrank his head and retreated angrily.
Seeing this scene, Minato laughed awkwardly with a hint of embarrassment.
"Mom, I'm back."
At this moment, Itachi's voice was heard from outside the room.
Ninja school is over.
Itachi quickly ran into the room and saw Minato who was outside Sasuke and Naruto's room.
"Good evening, Uncle Minato!"
Itachi's eyes lit up, and then he spoke respectfully.
"The same to you."
Minato smiled faintly and ruffled his hair.
Then the two of them walked into the house. Hearing the noise, Sasuke and Naruto turned their eyes and then both quickly crawled over.
Minato and Itachi rushed over and picked up the two children.
Sasuke, who had just had a cold face towards Naruto, started to laugh in Itachi's arms.
Seeing this, Naruto in Minato's arms actually showed a slight sense of loss in his eyes.
"You are really persistent towards Sasuke." Minato looked at Naruto and smiled faintly.
Then Minato looked at Itachi and said, "By the way. I remember Shisui told me that you wanted my guidance."
"I've been too busy before and haven't been able to take care of it. Are you free later?"
When Itachi heard this, a look of excitement appeared on his young face.
"Um!"
Itachi nodded excitedly.
