Chapter 69: Yesterday's Decline, Tomorrow's Prosperity

August of the 60th year of Konoha. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Konoha S-class rebel ninja Orochimaru and Sand Shinobi attack Konoha during the middle ninja exam. With the full resistance of Shinobu Village, the Konoha collapse plan ultimately failed.

Two days later, Shinobu found the long-dead Four Generations of Kazekage in the desert, thus giving up the battle with Konoha and announcing that the incident was completely controlled by Orochimaru alone. As the weakest of the Five Shadow Villages, Sand Shinobi fully surrendered to Konoha. In order to recover the damage caused by the war, Konoha also accepted the surrender of the sand shinobi.

The war ended with Konoha becoming the victorious nation, and Orochimaru's hope of destroying Konoha to push the wheel of history into the wheel was shattered. But the entire ninja world is not very peaceful.

Although Konoha won the war, the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash lost an arm, and the high-end combat power was missing. The lower ninjas also suffered heavy losses. Although he was in a timely fit with the sand ninja who was sympathetic to the same disease, the other five powers were still eyeing each other, and war could break out at any time.

Therefore, the immediate urgency is to rebuild the village that was severely damaged by Orochimaru's plan and quickly restore the national strength. For this reason, the third generation even asked for assistance from the Land of Iron and the Land of Waves.

Among the ruins, there is a legendary shop that has survived intact to the surprise of many.

"It's a miracle that the surrounding streets are in ruins, but it's still in good shape. ”

A large bowl of miso ramen with Naruto rolls was brought to Sasuke. Add the bone broth made by adding red miso, and arrange the pork belly, greens, and eggs left and right, and sprinkle with chives and Naruto rolls, and the taste is still the same as before.

"Yes, this shop has been here since the wartime, and there has been no accident in so many storms. What a miracle. ”

The third generation also took a bowl of barbecued pork ramen from his hand, opened his chopsticks and ate it with one hand.

"Speaking of which, the taste of this shop has never changed. Back in the day, I used to come here with Watergate. So many years have passed. ”

Jiraiya took a sip of noodle soup and sighed a little sadly.

"So, what's the matter with you? I'm going back to the hospital after lunch, and I've been busy for the past two days. ”

Sasuke looked at Miyo and Jiraiya dissatisfied. Two days have passed since the collapse of Konoha and there are still a large number of wounded who need to be treated. He took Sakura and Karyo to help out in the hospital, and took advantage of his lunch break to run to Ichiraku Ramen alone to eat a bowl of ramen. As a result, the butt was not yet hot, and the three generations and Zilai sandwiched him in the middle from left to right.

"It's nothing, it's just a bowl of ramen. The three generations said quietly.

"Yes, I haven't eaten it for a long time, and it's not bad to reminisce with the old man. Jiraiya chimed in.

Sasuke glanced at the two old rascals with squinted eyes, and probably knew the reason in his heart, so he didn't expose them, but pulled the topic away. Let's see how long the three generations can endure.

"I said three generations of old men, I think this shop is more representative of Konoha than Hokage. ”

"Well, how do you say that?"

The three generations narrowed their eyes, Sasuke's mind is much more mature than his peers, except for joking, he generally does not have no purpose.

"Because Naruto and I often eat here. ”

"What the hell is this!" Zilai complained disdainfully.

"Believe it or not, I'm sure Ichiraku Ramen will make a name for me and Naruto in the ninja world. ”

Sasuke has systematic help Needless to say, Naruto is the reincarnation of Asura, and his achievements in the future are not small. When he becomes famous, Ichiraku Ramen will naturally become famous.

"Sasuke, are you very optimistic about Naruto? ”

Miyo stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Sasuke with interest.

"First of all, although Naruto is stupid, he is not an idiot, his talent is still very good, but he is a little biased. Besides, he has some qualities that I don't have. ”

"What traits, hard work?" asked Jiraiya.

"It's not easy to explain. You see, he grew up very quickly after becoming a shinobi, and this time he actually defeated the sand ninja of Ai Luo alone. ”

"That's not even the credit I gave him training!"

Jiraiya pursed his lips, but was glared back by Sasuke with an idiot look.

"I mean, that guy has a lot of potential, he can draw strength from his pain. After I see this incident, Naruto will have another qualitative change. ”

"Actually, it's not just Naruto, but I think the other shinobi are too, and they've all learned something from it. Although the loss of Konoha this time is very large, I think that as long as I can survive this time, the village will be stronger because of them. ”

How could Konoha with twelve small strong declines, don't joke internationally.

"Where the leaves fly, fire grows. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new leaves to sprout. This is the Will of Fire. ”

After eating the ramen, Miyo pulled out his pipe out of nowhere and smoked it.

"I'm no longer fit to continue as the Hokage, and Konoha needs a new Shadow to inherit the Will of Fire. Sasuke, I think you know what I mean. ”

"Yes, yes, isn't it just looking for Tsunade's mother-in-law, just say it. It's very simple, I'll just ask Lord Slug to summon her with reverse psychic techniques. ”

Sasuke knew that this was what they were for, and he didn't expect it to take so long to say it.

"This won't work, if you bring Tsunade like this, she will definitely refuse. ”

Jiraiya put his hand around Sasuke's shoulder regardless of his identity, and he looked very close to Sasuke. Then he pleaded with Sasuke in a voice as small as a mosquito, "Little ghost, please, if Tsunade is not right, the old man of the Hokage will definitely force me to be." You're Tsunade's disciple, and she'll definitely give you face. ”

"So, what's in it for me?"

"This, this. How about I teach you how to use voyeurism?"

Sasuke pushed the old lewd stick away, took out his wallet, and prepared to check out and leave.

"You can be a special shinobi. You can also get a permanent pass to Sand Ninja Village. ”

Miyo took a puff of his cigarette and said his conditions, glancing at Jiraiya. Jiraiya smiled awkwardly, it seems that the whisper just now has not been hidden from the three generations.

"In this middle ninja exam, you and Shikamaru have both successfully advanced to the middle ninja. Considering that your strength is far beyond that of ordinary middle ninjas, if you can bring Tsunade back, I will promote you to special ninja exceptionally. And let you, as Konoha's envoy, be free to enter and leave the sand shinobi from now on. Of course, the sand ninja side will also appoint an envoy, and we in Konoha can suggest a candidate. ”

The corners of Sasuke's mouth twitched, and he sat down again and ordered another ramen. This old man has a lot of information, and he has almost figured out his thoughts.

"And if you become a special shinobi, you can lead a squad on your own. At that time, Kakashi will be able to leave Class Seven, and Kakaru from Kusanobi Village can join your team. Otherwise, although it is a pity, we will have to send her back to the country of grass. I heard that she and Naruto are still of the same race. ”

Every point poked at his own vital point, and it was impossible to refuse. He is worthy of being an old politician, and he has a really accurate grasp of people's hearts. But how do you feel so unhappy!

"Yes, but I have one more condition, I want those two sound ninjas. ”

The four of them fought desperately to help Orochimaru drag the shadows, but in the end they were left as outcasts. In order to get the information of Orochimaru, the dark department deliberately showed mercy, and Tayuya and Zuo Jin both survived, and now they are training in the hands of "professionals".

"Why? they're all enemies, aren't they?" said the third generation, frowning slightly.

"There's no why, that's my condition. ”

Orochimaru has been hit by his own technique, and he will definitely carry out immortal reincarnation to completely remove the hidden danger. At this time, Orochimaru will be quite weak, and it is the best time to remove the curse mark. Sasuke wanted to experiment with the Earth Curse Mark of Otoshinobi first.

"Well, as long as you can convince Tsunade to come back as Hokage, I'll let Morino Biki hand it over to you. ”

The three generations pondered for a while, but agreed to Sasuke's request. Put the money on the table, take the hat and leave the ramen restaurant.

"Little ghost, what do you want those two shinobi for?"

Jiraiya squinted at Sasuke while drinking the soup, and there was a faint chill in his voice.

"Nothing, I just want to kill Orochimaru. ”

After listening to Sasuke's answer, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and scolded the "arrogant little ghost".

"Not now, but not necessarily in a few years. Aren't you going to stop me?" Sasuke teased Jiraiya with a smile on his face.

"Why stop you, that guy wants to kill him too. ”

"yes, I don't think so. If you really want to kill him, you won't be putting it off until the end and then using Immortal Mode. ”

Sasuke stared at Jiraiya's head held high, and felt a burst of amusement in his heart. Orochimaru and Jiraiya, a pair of good friends, obviously regard each other as very important, but they just don't admit it, and they shout and kill as soon as they meet.

"It's true that I wanted him to come back to Konoha until now, but it's no longer possible. ”

Zilai kept stirring the clear soup in the finished noodles with chopsticks, and his face showed a look of loneliness.

"However, if he comes back to harm the village, I will kill him with my own hands. ”

"Actually, I think Orochimaru might be like this. I still have a bond with you in my heart. ”

Sasuke took the freshly made ramen, pushed it in front of Jiraiya, and got up and put on his trench coat.

"I've always wondered why Orochimaru attacked Konoha and was so obsessed with killing three generations during the battle. His kind of scientist is someone who doesn't act out of resentment, he has no motives. As for the so-called disturbance of the ninja world, it has nothing to do with his research technique or the purpose of obtaining the writing wheel. Why on earth would he do that?"

"It wasn't until that day that I saw the three generations of old men let go of Orochimaru that I figured it out a little. At that time, the appearance of the three generations of old men was too ugly, and he was depressed and depressed, where was the appearance of Shinobi. ”

"I've been told that the best place for a ninja is to die on the battlefield at the end of the war. Orochimaru probably just wants three generations to die honorably. ”

"When he could still be called Shinobu. ”

"Can you still be called a shinobi like this, Ape Flying Sun!"

Danzang banged on his crutches and roared loudly at the three generations.

"It's a matter of difficulty to make such a compromise with other ninja villages. Ape Fei, you're really old!"

On the surface, the countries did not act after Konoha was attacked, but secretly the meaning of war was already obvious. In order to stabilize the situation, the three generations and the four major ninja villages reached some unwritten agreements, giving up some of the interests that could not be kept.

This dovish approach was unacceptable to the radical Danzang.

"Yes, I'm really old, that's why the village needs a new Hokage. And a new generation of shinobi has also begun to grow. ”

Three generations said that the figures of two teenagers appeared in their minds.

Hearing this, Danzang snorted coldly, and said in an unkind tone: "Do you mean Uchiha Sasuke? I haven't asked you yet! Why are you allowed to give those two otoshinobi to him? Don't forget that he also fell under the spell of Orochimaru, and he is also from the Uchiha clan." ”

"Tuanzang, I don't need to report to you what I did. Now, I'm still the third Hokage, the current Hokage of Konoha Village!"

The three generations' faces sank, and they slapped the table to suppress Tuan Zang's opposition.

"Moreover, at the Konoha border, the shadows found traces of that man. ”
