"Click!"

On the earth-covered avenue, one foot gently landed, stirring up a little dust, turning into a round smoke ring, centered on the foot, slowly spreading away.

"Heh......"

Then came a gasp that seemed to be relieved and tired.

"Take a break, the village is ahead. ”

Chiba slowly stood up and looked around, but saw that the sun was shining, and the trees on both sides of the avenue built by the Land of Fire showed a slight golden color in the sun, stretching all the way to the looming village wall behind the corner not far ahead.

It seems that the village did not withstand the flames of war, this third ninja war, Konoha can be said to be a sure win, coupled with the three generations of Hokage's tenderness and the strategy of focusing on development and talent training, it is also the birth of another strongest period of Konoha in the future, that is, the early stage of the fourth war, Konoha's economic strength, and the overall quality of ninjas.

Although, before Shippuden, when Naruto was a child, Konoha talents were only at the level of the major ninja villages, but the talent reserve, whether it was the twelve small powerhouses of Konoha or the strength of other upper ninja classes, the ninjas of the family were all in a state of steady improvement, not to mention the generation left over from the Third World War, that is, the Nara Shikahisa generation of Pig Deer Butterfly and the like, many young geniuses like Kakashi during the Third World War survived, and under the atmosphere of attaching importance to education, such a young genius has a particularly rapid increase in strength, and it will inevitably quickly become the mainstay of Konoha。

Yes, at the time of the four wars, Konoha's sense of existence can be said to be explosive, even if you don't say the two protagonists, there are many young ninjas involved in the command or strategic positions of the ninja alliance, Nara Shikamaru needless to say, like Sakura and others, although there is no clear appointment, but in fact, it is also a master in charge of the medical camp of one side, shouldering the heavy responsibility of logistics and medical care of the entire coalition army, this position, placed in the middle of the three wars, is occupied by a girl who is not more than ten years old, it is simply incredible, it cannot exist at all, you must know that at the end of Shippuden, Sakura was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and in the Kazekage recovery incident, her medical skills are to get that"One machine is a thousand" sand hidden body, ninja, and medical ninjutsu are all recognized by the top Chiyo mother-in-law, and it is conceivable that Konoha was a young talent at that time, and his status in the ninja world.

On the other hand, in other ninja villages, except for Kazekage I Airo, his sister Temari, and his brother Kankuro, there are basically no young people who can get their hands on it.

Iwakure's words are the black soil of a granddaughter of three generations of Tsuchikage, and the terracotta who is the guardian of the Tsuchikage.

Not to mention the fog hidden, there is only one cowardly boy left among the seven ninja swords, and his strength is not outstanding.

Even if it is Yun Yin, he can't find a few young characters who can compete with the twelve powerhouses of Konoha, let alone characters who can compete with the likes of the new three ninjas.

And the ninjas in the prime of life left over from the Third World War, there are few who can compare with Kakashi and Kai, so it can be said that no matter up or down, Konoha completely crushes other ninja villages.

Whether it is top strength, such as Naruto Sasuke and the like, mainstays such as Kakashi, Kai and others, or various ninjas with their own strengths and solid strengths, and quasi-S-level ninjas, Konoha is the complete explosion of the entire ninja world.

It can be seen that the three generations of Hokage are powerful, even if the four generations die early, the three shinobi defect, and the disheartened departure, in order to predict the chaos of running around, in his old age, he can still govern Konoha so strongly, I am afraid that the three generations of Hokage alone have the ability to do it, and they have really done it.

And now, after really experiencing the three wars, Chiba also deeply understands how wise the seed protection policy of the three generations of Hokage is, although the addition of some young geniuses will make the originally unfavorable war fall into a certain disadvantage, but after retaining these young geniuses, after a few years, or even more than ten years, they will become the mainstay, and after the war, the major ninja villages will have more time to recuperate. When the time comes, the difference between protection and non-protection will gradually become apparent.

The inevitable talents who are not protected will begin to wither, after all, geniuses do not exist overnight, and the fall rate of young ninjas in the war is terrifying, and the withering of talents can be seen by looking at the young talents of other ninja villages during the four wars. And protection, as long as they survive the three wars, even if they sacrifice some of the older generation, or the outstanding talents who will enter the old age in the next era, when these seeds burst out and spread out, the Konoha will usher in an unprecedented period of talent prosperity, and the village has the economic strength to cultivate talents, and there is a good educational atmosphere and a variety of advanced educational methods because of the emphasis on education, when the time comes, Konoha will only become stronger day after day, and other ninja villages will inevitably weaken day after day because of the shortage of talents,

The era when the Konoha family was dominant and surpassed the other four can be said to be only a matter of time.

Although Chiba is unwilling to ponder the three generations of Hokage with the mentality of thick black learning, but based on what he has seen and heard in the three wars, he has to suspect that the three generations of Hokage deliberately did not send more people to maintain a passive appearance when Konoha fell into passivity, and even did not hesitate to sacrifice some outstanding talents of the older generation and even in the prime of life, but secretly preserved more talents than in previous wars, even if the entire Konoha Village was placed in a dangerous situation, he had to gamble on the prosperity of the next era, with an attitude of war forbearance, in exchange for the opportunity to dominate the ninja world in the future without spending a single soldier。

After all, as long as the Konoha family is dominant and better than the four families joining forces, then the war will definitely not be fought.

With the passage of time, the general trend of peace will follow, and when the time comes, the act of peaceful reunification will also achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Regardless of whether or not peaceful reunification can be carried out without war, this kind of thinking alone, Chiba feels that it is in line with the thinking of the three generations of Hokage, who is mainly gentle and long-term in the ninja world.

Regardless of whether this idea is naïve or not, and how successful it is, if it is really like this, Chiba is happy to accept it, and he has seen the pain of war, and he has reservations about exchanging war for peace. Of course, it is only a reservation, not a veto, in his previous life, although his motherland was in an era of peace, but thousands of years of war history made him not have too many naïve ideas.

"So...... It's pretty much it. ”

Looking at this peaceful scene of the sun shining and the birds chirping, after many of Chiba's thoughts turned, he slowly took a breath and stood up from his resting posture.

Although there is still a lot of fatigue in the body during the more than two days of rushing, after all, the destination is in front of us, and the moment is also a strong spirit, moving forward.

I'm ......

And Chiba, who was walking slowly, under the grass-green cloak, his face changed slightly, and his body was almost trembling, and there was a mixture of hope and kindness and hesitation in his heart.

Is it cowardly?

Suddenly, Chiba, who was aware of his emotions, smiled bitterly.

Hirohiko and Yukina, I don't know if it's in the village......

It's been a long time since I've seen Kushina, so I have to go and see it......

The body of the three generations of Hokage, I don't know if it is better......

Then, after this homesickness, a figure flashed in his mind, and in the warmth, urging his pace to slowly speed up.
