Chapter 623 The Turning Point of Konoha in 43 Years
Happy time always flies quickly, and time has come to the 43rd year of Konoha in a blink of an eye. This year, many major events happened in the ninja world, and it entered an important turning point, with more and more affairs to worry about, and the leisurely after-engagement came to an end.
First of all, the border conflicts of the countries in the ninja world gradually heated up, and at first the countries still tacitly attacked Konoha together, but as time passed, the contradictions between the countries gradually broke out, and the battle on the border borders evolved from a four-on-one siege to a multi-party melee.
For example, in addition to harassing the Konoha border, Sand Shinobi will also fight with the fog in the south, and the contradictions between the two sides are getting deeper and deeper.
Since the western part of the Wind Country was completely locked down by the Fire Country, Sand Hide has gradually set his sights on the fog to the south. There is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, both are the lowest countries among the five powers, and the economy of the Water Country is relatively rich, so it was chosen by the Wind Country as a priority target.
And the land of water is also very full of wind because of the heavy losses in the upper trade, and now it is known that the first-to-last Shagakure actually dares to covet his second-to-last position (laughs), and the contradiction between the new and the old hatred has completely exploded.
So now on the southern border of the ninja world, it has evolved into a three-way melee of fire, water, and wind.
And the land of earth and the country of thunder in the north accumulated a deeper hatred in the last ninja war, so the battle in the north has also evolved into a melee between fire, thunder, and earth.
The situation in the entire ninja world is becoming more and more chaotic, and small countries such as the Land of Rain, the Country of Grass, and the Country of Bears are also involved.
Therefore, it is impossible for all countries to cooperate sincerely and join forces to destroy the Fire Nation or anything.
However, out of fear of the country of fire, although each country has its own thoughts and contradictions, they are very controlling, and they dare not completely tear their faces, mainly against the country of fire, but no one wants to make the first bird cheaper than others.
Although the gunpowder is getting thicker and thicker among countries, it has always maintained a strange balance.
Everyone knows that a big war will break out sooner or later, but no one is willing to strike first, and the Fire Nation is happy to delay it all the time, and now the effect of the reform is gradually emerging, and the longer it drags on, the better Konoha becomes.
In order to cope with the severe test of the future, all the martial arts shinobi in Konoha are sent to the border to fight under the leadership of the middle ninja and the captain of the upper ninja, and only after being tempered by the fire of war can they become truly independent ninjas. During this period, a large number of outstanding talents emerged among the new generation of Konoha , such as Kakashi, Obito, Rin, Maitkai, Uchiha Shisui, Pig Deer Butterfly Trio, Asma, Sunset Red, Oil Girl Shiwei and other important characters have all grown up through battles and have been promoted to the middle horse and even the upper ninja level.
The appearance of these young ninjas represents the growing strength of Konoha's heritage.
In addition to the changes in the overall situation, there are many, many events that are not important to the plot in various countries of the ninja world.
For example, the ghost man of the fog hibin no longer killed all his classmates in the graduation exam, which caused quite a stir in the entire ninja world. forced the Fog Hidden Village, known as the Blood Mist, to change its graduation system!
After years of struggle, Yakura finally secured the position of Mizukage and took control of most of the power in the Fog Hidden Village. Although the Blood Inheritance Family was temporarily suppressed, the strength of the Mizukage family also suffered heavy losses, and it was still unable to completely eradicate all the forces of the Ninja Family. Not only did the Blood Succession Family still retain a certain amount of strength, but when both sides were defeated, the Ninja Sword Seven, who were originally weak, took the opportunity to grow bigger, threatening the Mizukage family.
In order to strengthen the strength of the Mizukage lineage, Yakura immediately implemented the Blood Mist Attack strategy after taking power, and let the ninja school graduates kill each other in order to select the most elite ninjas.
Now if you don't kill one person, you will kill all the graduates of the same year, although the result is shocking, but it is a major loss for Yakura.
No matter how hard he is, his qualifications can only be regarded as first-class among his peers, and he is still slightly inferior to the top geniuses such as Kakashi, Maitkai and Zhishui, if he doesn't have any adventures in this life, he is an elite ninja, and he will definitely not be able to reach the shadow level, and the reason why he can complete the amazing result of completely destroying all students of the same level is just because his heart is ruthless enough.
Therefore, such a parallel genius is far less valuable to the fog than an entire class of graduates, and what he does is likely to be an expression of dissatisfaction with Yakura's policy, otherwise there is no need to kill everyone at all. Aren't you playing the live-action version of eating chicken, is it more ruthless than that?
So Yakura was very unkind to this chicken master who brought trouble to himself, but the other party seized the loophole in the rules, so that he could not attack head-on, so he could only modify the graduation system.
What's even more hateful is that after graduating from Zai, he accepted the invitation of the Bipa Shizo and became the heir to the beheading broadsword, joining the power of the Seven Ninja Blades.
This also lays a hidden danger for the future contradictions between the two sides.
In addition to the graduation of Kirigaku's re-graduation, there is also an important thing in Konoha, that is, Uchiha Fugaku's eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, was born! In comparison, the graduation of the future interrogation squad leader, Mori Nai Biki, is very inconspicuous.
Because Rope Tree has formed a deep "friendship" with Fuyue since he was a child (Fuyue: ◑▂◐ mud playing), plus Kushina and Mikoto have been best friends since childhood, so the two participated in the Itachi God Fang Full Moon Banquet together.
When the rope tree saw the one-month-old ferret with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh that time passed so fast.
At the wedding banquet, Rope Tree said on the spot that he was very close to Itachi and wanted to accept him as a disciple.
Although Fugaku was full of bad memories of the classmate Rope Tree, he agreed very simply after hearing about the other party's request. Everyone knows a lot about the talents of Skywalker, and this is also very good at educating disciples, the eldest disciple Maite Dai, was originally only a descendant of ten thousand years, but now he is an elite ninja, and the second disciple Kakashi is now also the leader of the new generation of ninjas in Konoha, and the future is limitless.
Therefore, the Uchiha clan was not happy that the young patriarch could be favored by him, and the relationship between the two sides was one step closer.
Itachi's strength and importance to the plot need not be said, but with the influence of the rope tree traverser, I'm afraid that the Uchiha's judgment chaos will not happen in the future, and I don't know how Itachi's fate will change.
This year, there have also been some important events in other ninja villages, such as Deidara of Iwakuin Village being accepted as a disciple of Tsuchikage for training, and Yunyin's Yugi has officially become the two-tailed pillar force.
The most important thing is that, according to the intelligence of the Shadow Department, the Red Sand Scorpion of Sand Hidden left Sand Hidden Village this year, but it was not wanted as a traitor.
Rope knew that in two years at most, the Red Sand Scorpion would return to the sand and assassinate the third generation of Kazekage, officially kicking off the Third Ninja War, but he didn't have any intention of stopping it, just quietly waiting for the war to come.
