Chapter 259: Heroes Return
In the 45th year of Konoha, the Third Ninja World War ended with Konoha's victory.
Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure were defeated one after another.
During the war, the Raikage, Tsuchikage and Mizukage were captured, which showed the powerful strength of Konoha. The entire ninja world suddenly became much quieter, without any sound at all.
Even the robbers hiding in the mountains stopped robbing and disappeared.
A few days later, Konoha Village was decorated with lights and cheers were heard everywhere. The villagers spontaneously went out to welcome the returning hero.
The war is over, and the children who are away will soon come back. Parents are looking forward to it all the time.
All of Konoha's leaders, led by Hatake Sakumo, came here, and everyone looked happy and excited.
In this war, Konoha has a lot of room to maneuver. It can be said that it can make a lot of money no matter what it does.
Not to mention that compensation is only a small part of it, the real big part is yet to come.
"It is only now that I can finally relax." Hatake Sakumo said to Hoshino Kaede beside him. "Everything is settled, except for the daimyo."
Xingye Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, now is the time to enjoy the victory, we can talk about it later."
After hearing this, Hatake Sakumo nodded happily and chuckled, "Of course, there is nothing more important than this right now."
At this moment, the crowd suddenly burst into unprecedented loud cheers. They danced with passion, and their violent ups and downs of emotions seemed to reach the sky.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng smiled, his eyebrows curved into crescent shapes, and said, "Here I come."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hundred meters away, the Konoha ninjas all walked towards Konoha with their heads held high and chests puffed out, all with expressions of joy and pride on their faces.
As commanders, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shisho naturally walked in the front, enjoying the admiring and respectful gazes of everyone.
After them are those who made great contributions to this war, such as: Uchiha Shimizu, Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hizashi, etc.
They fought bravely on the battlefield and made great achievements. They are the pillars of Konoha and the future is born in their hands.
Looking at the young and spirited face, Xingye Feng nodded slightly, looking pleased.
Sakumo sighed, "This war may have some surprises. Fugaku is really courageous."
Hearing this, Xingye Feng looked carefully, his expression was startled, and then he smiled and said: "Isn't this good? The radicals are only one step away from destruction. Fugaku can make such a determination, and he is also looking for a way out for Uchiha."
Over the years, the Uchiha's reputation has gradually improved, and the clan members have become much more gentle towards the villagers, but there are still some problems.
There are still radicals within the organization who disagree with Fugaku, believing that he is too weak and has lost the sharpness and pride of the Uchiha clan.
Fugaku just laughed it off, and when the war came, he sent these people to the battlefield to serve as fuel for the prosperity of Uchiha.
Sakumo agreed, "Now, the last prerequisite for Uchiha to become Hokage has been eliminated."
Hearing this, Hoshino Kaede glanced at Fugaku in the crowd and chuckled, "It all depends on whether Uchiha can produce a potential Hokage."
After finishing this topic, Sakumo immediately looked at Hyuga Hiashi, frowned and said: "The Uchiha issue has been resolved, but there is still a Hyuga."
"In a sense, the Hyuga problem is more difficult than the Uchiha problem."
"The old rules and etiquette are deeply rooted in the minds of every Hyuga clan member. Coupled with the constraints of a bird in a cage, it becomes even more difficult."
After he finished speaking, Xingye Feng waved his hand, with a cunning gleam in his eyes, as if he was in control of something.
"Don't worry, Hinata's matter is actually not as complicated as you think. Hiashi is a smart man. He knows Konoha's attitude towards caged birds, so there is no need to worry."
"Besides, we have a backup plan."
Hatake Sakumo scratched his head, looking thoughtful, and then suddenly said, "Could it be that there has been some progress in the research on caged birds?"
Xingye Feng shrugged and said with a smile: "You guessed it right."
After that, Hatake Sakumo asked in confusion: "I remember that after Lord Mito passed away, no one could do research."
As a caged bird to ensure Hyuga's inheritance, it is inherently different from other sealing techniques.
Sakumo couldn't think of anyone else who could do the research besides Mito-sama.
Xingye Feng winked at him playfully, as if she were a naughty child: "That's hard to say, you know how talented he is."
After hearing this, Shumao suddenly had an idea. He slapped his head and said in a daze, "I almost forgot about that guy."
"If it's him, then it's possible."
A cold-looking guy involuntarily popped up in his mind, staring at him with snake-like eyes.
Just as Sakumo was thinking, Hoshino Kaede interrupted his deep thoughts, patted his shoulder and said, "Sakumo, it's your turn, they are already here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sakumo woke up instantly, looked at the ninjas who were about to arrive at the door, and after sorting out his emotions, he took a few steps forward.
After coughing a few times, he said to them in a loud voice: "Welcome everyone back in triumph. Your heroic performance has helped Konoha win this war."
"Konoha is proud of you..."
Hoshino Kaede had a smile on his face as he looked at Sakumo talking seriously, with all kinds of words of praise pouring out of his mouth.
After a round of praise, Sakumo's part ended, and what greeted them next was endless cheers along the way.
The streets were crowded with people, and everyone was extremely happy.
At the end of the team, the captured Raikage looked at their cheers coldly, still looking unruly, with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"If Konoha hadn't relied on its numbers, how could I have been defeated?"
After he finished speaking, a light laugh was heard from the side. Ohnoki stroked his gray beard calmly and said.
"Raikage, if you lose, you lose. There is no regret for anything."
Hearing these words of resignation, the Raikage frowned and stared at Ohnoki: "The Tsuchikage has been frightened by Konoha, right? Is he planning to just accept his fate?"
"What if you don't accept your fate?" Ohnoki sneered, thinking of the events in the Land of Earth, he couldn't help but look lonely. "The ninjas on the front line are fighting hard, while the nobles in the back are enjoying themselves."
"The Earth Kingdom has long lost its will. There is no hope of winning if we continue to fight."
After saying that, he looked at the Raikage and said with a firm gaze: "The Hidden Cloud Village has such strong armaments and tens of thousands of ninjas. Isn't there any objection in the village?"
After hearing this, the Raikage opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Just as Ohnoki said, there are already signs of division within the Hidden Cloud Village.
If it were in peacetime, the Raikage wouldn't even bother looking at it, but at a time like this, it has turned into a crisis.
