Chapter 454
After the Third Ninja World War, the overall economic and military decline of various countries, especially the wind, thunder, earth, and three kingdoms, could not recover their pre-war strength without three years.
The country of fire and the country of water, which received a large amount of materials for the defeat of the war, became the biggest beneficiaries of the war. This is one of the greatest benefits of war, the victorious country can complete the primitive accumulation in the shortest possible time, and provide huge material resources for the rapid development in the future.
As a month passes, the traces of the Third Shinobi War fade away, and the territory of the Land of the Wind begins to return to its former tranquility.
However, for the people of the Land of Wind, the raging war of the past is still fresh in their memories. Every time they recall the tragedy of World War III, many people turn pale, and they never want to experience that kind of bloody day again.
As the leader, the three generations of Kazekage watched their subordinates die and were powerless, and this sense of incompetence made the three generations of Kazekage feel guilty. For the first time, the three generations of Kazekage felt that he was really old.
A few days later, news came out from the Sand Ninja Village that the third generation of Kazekage automatically abdicated, and Mangon Kazunari became the fourth generation of Kazekage, and so on, the Land of Wind began a five-year recuperation.
……
In Konoha Village, as in the past, the wounds left by the civil war are gradually being repaired, and people are beginning to recognize the reality that no matter who is in power, they still have to live.
The Uchiha's efforts for the three wars are obvious to all, and the ** battle was resolved in the shortest possible time. The people of Konoha have taken this achievement to heart, and a large part of the population has even begun to think that the Uchiha are very reliable and can provide maximum security.
Perhaps, this is human nature, the weak always seek the refuge of the strong, even if the strong have committed unpardonable sins, but the temporary comfort will make them forget everything and indulge in the swaddling clothes constructed by the strong.
The Uchiha Kagami finally got idle, and as soon as he dealt with the aftermath of the three wars, he went directly to Sasuke and asked the latter to explain why he wanted to kill Hanzo.
What kind of thing is this, settling accounts after the autumn? Of course, settling accounts after the autumn!
At the beginning, Uchiha Kagami almost blew up his lungs when he heard the news that Sasuke had killed Hanzo without authorization, why did Sasuke, a bastard boy, always let him worry!
It didn't take long for Sasuke to arrive at the Hokage's office as the Uchiha Mirror had intended.
As soon as he entered the office, Sasuke saw the old face of the Uchiha Mirror that almost fell off the ice slag.
"Hokage-sama. ”
Sasuke pretended not to see it, and sat down on the couch next to him after saluting.
"You stand up for me;
!”
The Uchiha Kagami was angry and shouted, "Say, why did you kill Hanzo!"
After all, he is the current patriarch, Sasuke still has to give face, and he doesn't sit down, he stands and says: "There is no reason, killing is killing, can I still let him resurrect him?"
"You ......"
Sasuke's indifferent answer made Uchiha Kagami's beard tremble, and he shouted, "Have you ever thought about the consequences, how much trouble you will cause if you kill him! The Third Ninja World War!! How many people have you killed! How many people have you left homeless! How many wives have you separated!"
The Uchiha Mirror was so angry that he slapped the table hard, and the documents on it spilled all over the ground.
"I didn't do anything wrong. If the patriarch is angry, he will expel me from the clan. Sasuke looked at the Uchiha Mirror coldly and said, "I don't think I'm a sinner, the outbreak of this war was originally in accordance with the timing of the day. The so-called village, the so-called shadow, and those high-sounding daimyo who fight the banner of peace, they are the real executioners, without their efforts, how could this war spread to the entire ninja world...... Besides, didn't Konoha get a lot of benefits from that war, Patriarch, your Hokage's seat is not much more stable than before. ”
"Bastard thing!"
Uchiha Kagami's eyes were full of stars, and he scolded: "You still have merit! Kill people, cause so many troubles, and let me reward you!"
It was the first time in the past ten years that the Uchiha Mirror had been so angry, and he couldn't calm down when he was a good man on weekdays, so he just heard him say: "Even though the third ninja war was facilitated by the Kage and the daimyo as you said, don't forget, if it weren't for you, how could this powder keg explode all at once!"
“……”
Sasuke didn't speak, letting the Uchiha Kagami scold.
For a long time, the Uchiha mirror image was tired, and he took a long breath and said, "Sasuke...... The most unwilling thing in my life is that my children are not angry, and none of them can take on the responsibility of the Uchiha family. I've been waiting for a long time, looking forward to the emergence of a peerless genius in the Uchiha family who can lead the Uchiha to the pinnacle of the ninja world. The moment you showed up in the Uchiha, I was really happy...... Finally, I finally saw hope. Do you know...... I really want to see you as my own and keep you here, and you can do your best for the prosperity of the Uchiha. ”
Speaking of this, a little tear flashed in the old eyes of the Uchiha Mirror, "I don't know what you've been through, let alone what you're thinking in your heart. I just hope, I hope you can stop and look around you, they all see you as a family member, as a friend...... In this world, there is infinite light besides darkness. ”
The Uchiha Kagami said with great seriousness, and he used all his strength to hate that iron could not become steel.
These were all seen by Sasuke, he was not a cold-blooded person, and the performance of the Uchiha Mirror made him a little moved.
It's just that this level is not enough.
Sasuke chose a superficial compromise, took a step back, and said, "I understand Hokage-sama's hard work, I'm sorry, I was wrong......"
Seeing that Sasuke relented, Uchiha Kagami breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't really intend to hold Sasuke responsible, but for the sake of the elders' face, he just had to give a reasonable explanation;
"Go down, boy, I'm tired. ”
The Uchiha Mirror looked much older at the moment, and waved his hand weakly.
"Yes, Hokage-sama. ”
Sasuke reflexively retreated.
……
On the Hokage Yan Yan, a black figure stood quietly.
"It's so nostalgic for the tranquility. ”
Looking down at the vast Konoha Village, Sasuke's expressionless face showed a look of memory, he still remembered the days he had in Konoha and left many memories in that world, Konoha Village.
"It's a pity that these are just appearances, and the darkness of this world still can't be erased, like maggots attached to bones, never endless. The darkness of this world cannot be dispelled no matter how hard people try. The gap between people and between countries can never be filled because of the existence of selfish desires and hatred. ”
