Chapter 567: The Fifth Hokage
One morning, the "large hot pot" that had been quietly stored in the Shadow Stream's underground base was suddenly spiritualized and left under rather abrupt circumstances.
This kind of spatial transfer event that can cross the barrier was naturally noticed and taken seriously by the whirlpools at the first time, and then they reported the matter to the upper level.
Well, it's not a big deal, and the moral of it is very simple - it shows that some people who are obviously quite damn are actually alive and well.
Then, half a month later, a "convoy" of more than twenty people, composed entirely of ordinary people, arrived in Konoha with a long cart in tow, claiming that there were important supplies to be handed over to the Uzumaki Zikou of the "Shadow Stream".
Is there a "Fuwei Dart Game"?
To be honest, transporting the Tailed Beast with an ordinary convoy is a pioneering feat, as innovative as a village-level labor team undertaking the task of building a low-Earth orbit space station...... Hanyu is probably the only one who can do this kind of thing.
So what about the Nine-Tails? The group of ordinary people not only undertook the transportation task, but even successfully completed the task...... Although in the end, they didn't realize that they were actually transporting a "nuclear bomb", everyone just thought that such a "big hot pot" was" some kind of post-modern style craft ornaments.
Of course, this group of people naturally didn't know who gave them the task, and the money was sufficient and the task was simple, so they took it - the other party happily paid 50% of the freight, and said that the remaining half would be given by the consignee.
See, some people are not as generous as they think.
Hanyu would have liked to have a complete "cash on delivery", but unfortunately he didn't have that much credibility...... If you don't pay for it, the convoy won't work.
In short, Hanyu did Konoha a small favor, although it was not his intention and positive action...... Who would have thought that the Nine-Tails would come to him directly after his resurrection, wouldn't it be good to breathe in the free air outside of Konoha?
Do you have to fight? How big is this hatred and how big a grudge is this, and you can't look at it as a person?
After returning the Nine-Tails to Konoha in the bag, the battle was truly over.
…………
After Hanyu's fighting power left the battlefield, the war returned to its normal state...... That's the scorching and endless tug-of-war.
The increasing casualties on all sides have brought the war to a more numb and heavy stage.
Non-stop investment, non-stop consumption, whether it is supplies, blood, or ninja lives, the essence of war is this cold exchange...... What does the winner win?
What's more, there is no winner in this kind of thing.
Cloud Hide-Konoha - Iwakuin, Iwakuin - Konoha - Sand Hide, the three-way melee that took place on these two main battlefields has continuously weakened the strength of each ninja village.
This situation is not worthy of sympathy, because war is everyone's "common choice", and if you think about it sarcastically, it can even be regarded as a "good sign" - when all the tense nerves of the ninja village are about to break, but the state is becoming more and more weak, it means that the war is really coming to an end, to the end stage.
From the beginning of the war to the present, Konoha's new generation of ninja "Golden Flash" Bo Feng Shuimen has completed his own performance...... Konoha gave help, and Bo Feng Shuimen himself can be regarded as having both brains and strength, so he seized such an opportunity.
So, in the forty-ninth year of Konoha and the fourth generation of Hokage Hanyuyu, who was still considered to be the "peak of spring and autumn", thought that he had found a qualified heir, so he chose to "retreat bravely".
He announced his departure from Hokage's position, ceding supreme power in the village to a new successor...... At this point in time, it was two years longer than the high-level had initially estimated, as they found out that Hanyu's absence really didn't have a big impact on the village.
But it's impossible to keep the tricks going on.
For the average Konoha ninja, the fourth generation of this legendary figure chose to retire in this year...... Despite the fact that the goods had long since run away.
"Regrets"...... When the news of this decision came out, it was a sentiment shared by most Konoha ninjas.
Although over the years, Bo Feng Shuimon, who has been active on the battlefield, has established his prestige and won the love of many ninjas, and correspondingly, the fourth generation has only been on the battlefield in the early stages of the war and has been staying in the village since then, and his performance is equivalent to a "flash in the pan", however...... This "flash" is inevitably too splendid, so that it is impossible for latecomers to cover the impression he left behind.
Everyone's expectations for the fifth generation will definitely not exceed the expectations for the fourth generation, but now the fourth generation has chosen to retire.
Although this incident makes people feel very regretful and unfinished, the practice of "brushing off the clothes and hiding the name and name" is also in line with the average ninja's perception of the fourth Hokage.
For example, Hanyu's ninja experience, how many times did he work as a "firefighter" and then quickly "disappeared"? Now he's just repeating it.
Bo Feng Shuimen represents "youth and hope", but "youth and hope" cannot make up for the psychological emptiness brought by the loss of "strength and pillars" after all...... At least not for the time being.
However, no matter how ordinary ninjas feel, what is set is what is set up...... Anyway, it is impossible for the high-level to continue to play the trick of "the fourth generation works diligently for the village", and the lie will eventually be exposed one day, and this kind of thing will make everyone feel the same discomfort physically and psychologically.
So in the forty-ninth year of Konoha, the young Bo Feng Shuimen became the fifth Hokage of Konoha.
The fourth Hokage Hanyu Rain disappeared from public view after retiring.
Compared with Hanyu's poor performance after becoming the Hokage, although Bo Feng Shuimen looks young and inexperienced, he is willing to study and work hard, at least his attitude is there, so the impression left by the fifth Hokage on the top management is better than that of the fourth generation.
However, the good impression of the high-level does not have a direct positive impression of the situation, and some old guys will not give face to the young people after all - in the fifty years of Konoha in the past year, a major event has happened in the village.
Although the final stages have been reached and the scale and intensity of the fighting have been reduced to a very low level, the war is not over.
The size of the major ninja villages on the front line has been reduced considerably, and all parties involved in the war are silently licking their wounds.
The reduction in personnel and the scale of the battle meant that the requirements for the quality of command were also reduced, so some front-line commanders had the opportunity to return to their villages to rest.
This year, Orochimaru returned to Konoha.
Then, he invaded Konoha's secret barrier, stole many precious forbidden secret arts, and then left the village in style...... The attitude is the same as that of some "predecessors", Orochimaru's attitude of throwing away Konoha is like throwing away a rag, without the slightest hesitation.
Fortunately, the "last activity" he carried out in Konoha was just for information, so Orochimaru contained the scale of his damage. In this way, Konoha did not declare him a traitor in the first place.
Whether it's personality or historical inertia, in short, Konoha's "three forbearances", in the end, only the only seedling left is Jiraiya.
Moreover, Konoha is not the only "old guy" Orochimaru.
