Chapter 61
"I should be on the battlefield next time," Shisui said, staring ahead with a serious expression.
"It'll be good experience," Saitama replied, placing a hand on Shisui's shoulder and leaning closer to speak quietly.
At the dinner table, the two had polished off a large pot of braised pork and a full plate of seaweed rice balls. Shisui clutched his swollen stomach, waved goodbye to Granny Kaka and Saitama, and headed home.
Peace never lasted long. Now that Saitama had returned from the frontlines, he felt the war with Sunagakure was far from over. There was no point in staying idle.
Next year would be the 46th year since Konoha's founding. If his memory was correct, the Battle of Kikyo Pass, one of the major turning points in the Third Shinobi World War, would likely take place then.

In the stillness of the night, time drifted by. Dawn's light slowly crept across the sleeping earth.
