Chapter 69: Shadow Passes Away in Time
For the large-scale battle between Konoha and Sand Hide just past, the most tense and fierce group battle actually lasted only half a day, and then the pursuit battle lasted for three days, which was also the period when Konoha grabbed the greatest results, and then the battlefield clean-up work lasted intermittently for half a month before it was completely over.
For Konoha, the biggest significance of this battle is not that they defeated Sunagakure, but that to a large extent, the village was able to withdraw from the ninja war that was in full swing - Konoha had previously signed an alliance contract with Yunyin, and now Sandakure was also crippled by them. The remaining Iwakuin can't directly launch an offensive against the Fire Country because of the barrier of Yunyin's extended battle line, and as for the final Mistin, it has not yet broken out a direct battle with Konoha in this ninja war, which means that although they are wary of each other, they are safe with each other.
Furthermore, even if the end of the Great Ninja War is still far away, at least Konoha can breathe a big breath...... After this battle, it is almost impossible for Konoha to have such a large-scale battle in this ninja war.
Unless Cloud Hidden will tear up the alliance agreement with Konoha.
Konoha has swept away the decline caused by the death of the second Hokage, and even if there are skirmishes with other villages in the future, with confidence and momentum, Konoha Ninja will be able to persevere...... In the first ninja war, Konoha Hidden Village was at least able to guarantee that he was "undefeated".
The victory in the battle also brought benefits to the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun, the fact that he first defeated and killed the second generation of Kazekage in the battle, led to a rapid increase in his popularity and prestige, and now although some people still say that he is young, there is more awe than distrust in this "young" statement.
I believe that in the near future, the word "agent" in front of his Hokage can be removed.
The turmoil caused by the death of the Uchiha Mirror will also be quickly smoothed out under such a great victory, and in a short period of time, the Konoha clans will be gathered again to gather all their strength under the banner of the new Hokage.
Although all of this was fundamentally laid down by the second Hokage, as a hasty successor, Sarutobi's performance is also worthy of recognition. Combat exploits are the kind of thing that can quickly silence those who hold opposing opinions, and everything at the moment is inseparable from Sarutobi's own fight, and personal bravery aside, it is when he is questioned and the Uchiha has repeated that he makes up his mind to attack Sunakur......
Unlike ordinary ninjas like Hanyu, who don't like so-called names and the like, being a Hokage requires a prestige.
If the re-realization of the alliance with Yunyin can be said to be a legacy of the second Hokage, then presiding over the large-scale battle against Sunain is completely a victory won by the third Hokage himself...... Therefore he deserves to be recognized.
For the other side of the battle, the result of the battle can be described as "unbearable weight of life", after this battle, they can no longer launch a large-scale active offensive against Konoha, and strategically can only turn to a full-scale defensive position......
What's more, they also lost the second generation of Kazekage.
If Hanyu were to say it, it would have to be called "The village chief dies every day, and he comes to my house today."
The second generation of Hokage, the second generation of Thunder Shadow, and the second generation of Kazekage have all died in this ninja war, and although the second generation of Tsuchikage and the second generation of Mizukage are still alive, it is estimated that they will not have much to live...... In Hanyu's memory, the second generation of Mizukage and Tsuchikage died together in this ninja war.
However, after winning this battle, the three generations of Hokage did not attack the country of wind with a great victory, but instead the first order he issued after the war was to divide the frontline ninjas of Konoha into two and transfer three thousand ninjas back to the village to rest...... That's just as many ninjas as Sungakure has lost in this battle.
In other words, even if Konoha reduces the front-line forces to half of the original, it will be able to form a balance of power against the sand and hide.
Hokage's move seemed a bit "hesitant", but in fact reality forced him to do so. Because a considerable number of Konoha ninjas on the front line have been fighting for a long time, they are physically and mentally exhausted, and they have reached the point where they can't rest - not all ninjas have just gone to the front line like Hanyu, and there are quite a few ninjas here who have never returned to the village since the start of the ninja war.
In a sense, allowing ninjas to recuperate is to gain longer-term, more sustained combat capabilities, which is a long-term initiative. At the same time, the withdrawal of troops is also a signal from the Hokage to the Sunakin that we are not interested in invading the Land of the Wind, and as long as you don't jump around in the future, we will be happy to remain silent.
If the current Shayin controllers had a little bit of political wisdom, they would surely be happy to accept this situation.
After the loss of the second generation of shadows, internal turmoil will inevitably occur in each village, Yunyin calms the turmoil by Konoha by Konoha, and Konoha calms the turmoil by Shayin, so what about Shayin? Whatever they rely on, internal problems must now be a priority...... At the very least, we must determine the candidate for the new Kazekage.
The war has been fought to the present point, and no matter what the villages wanted to achieve when the war was first launched, their plans must have been frustrated by now. No one can control the course of a world war, and the original ambitions have all vanished. But even if there is no hope of achieving the original goal, the war must continue, even if the parties are now simply fighting for the sake of war.
If we can explain the significance of the First Ninja War from a higher and more historical perspective, although the original purpose of launching it was varied, and those goals were not achieved in the end, the result of it was very significant—it was precisely because of this war that the two eras were completely separated. In the course of the First Shinobi War, the traces left by the war-torn era disappeared completely, and the ninja village system was completely consolidated.
All the second-generation shadows who came out of the war era, without exception, died on the battlefield, and the shadows of the new villages were all cultivated in the ninja village, even if some of them experienced the troubled times, but the traces left by the ninja village system on them were far better than the previous era.
The old generation of ninjas died on the battlefield, and the new ninjas cultivated by the ninja village went to the battlefield again, and in the midst of such alternation, the ninja village system has become unbreakable...... Even if the ninja clan still has considerable influence in the villages, it is impossible for them to return to the original situation of self-reliance and independence.
It's a pity that even decades later, some clans still can't see this general trend.
War is a direct factor, and the combined influence of various objective factors has brought about such a result. The so-called peach and plum are self-explanatory, and the first Hokage, who has a somewhat funny head, probably didn't think that it would be consolidated in such a cruel way when he founded the ninja village system.
The fire of Konoha is endless, because it burns the blood of the ninja of the village, and after the blood is fused, it can no longer be separated.
