Chapter Forty-Seven: It's All Over
"What's wrong?" When Orochimaru rushed over, whether it was Konoha Shinobi, Sand Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi, they all desperately escaped from the ancient city of Kikyo, and even people outside Kikyo Castle could feel the ground shaking violently, and the constant sound of houses collapsing and the roar of animals that I don't know what it was.
The fire in the city of Kikyo was scorching, burning half of the sky, and the fire was not like ordinary firelight, more like a gorgeous fire escape technique, but this kind of power, even a dozen people from the Uchiha clan could not achieve this effect.
Above the firelight, thick black smoke shrouded him, and Bo Feng Shuimen, who had just come out of it, had a very deep understanding of this black smoke.
"Orochimaru-senpai." Bo Feng Shuimen carried the unconscious Tianshan on his back, "I don't know, but Lord Steel Hand is still inside." โ
Hearing Bo Feng Shuimen's words, Orochimaru's originally bloodless and cold face sank even more, and the corner of his eyes swept a glance at the Iwa Shinobi who had fled from Luotuo, and he did not give an order to chase him.
"I'll take a look." Orochimaru's words were an understatement, as if he was not going to go to danger, but to see the scenery, and suddenly attracted a lot of admiration, and the thin body that slowly disappeared was so tall at this moment.
The city gradually fell silent, but there was a chill of death in the silence.
"Orochimaru?" The figure of the steel hand slowly became clear, and he met the Orochimaru, who was getting closer and closer.
"Hmm!" Orochimaru obviously saw her too, and then his eyes moved to the hippopotamus Hanyu she was holding in her hand, and after recognizing the hippo Hanyu, his eyes instantly glowed, but when his wooden light continued to move downward, that surprised gaze quickly turned into pity.
"Hippo Hanyu??" Although he hadn't seen him for more than three years, Orochimaru had never forgotten this test subject that he was very interested in.
"Hmm!" Steel Hand did not deliberately hide his tiredness and sadness in front of Orochimaru, and followed Orochimaru out of the ancient city of Kikyo, which had almost collapsed, this ancient city with a history of several hundred years, after witnessing the tragic battle between the Iwa Shinobi and the Konoha Sand Ninja Alliance, finally completed its historical mission.
Steel Teite fainted before he could say a word after leaving the city, which made Konoha shinobu panic for a while.
After paying a huge sacrifice, Konoha finally won as in the original book, but as for whether the battle situation was also the same as in the original book, it is unknown whether the situation of the battle was also the same as in the original book.
Bo Feng Shuimen was ordered to clean up the battlefield and assist the sand shinobi in chasing down and defeating the fleeing Iwa Shinobi. As for the six people who fought against Hippo Hanyu, they never came out again, and even their bodies were not found, and only a few people such as Steel Hand, Hippo Hanyu and Bo Feng Shuimen knew that this strange group of seven existed.
Iwa Shinobi's combination of ninjutsu brought a huge impact to Bo Feng Shuimen, and also made him start a new direction of ninjutsu research.
The three generations personally led the elder group at the village gate to show their merits for Orochimaru, Steel Hand, Bo Feng Shuimen, and Sunset Gate, and at the same time spoke highly of the warriors who sacrificed to protect Konoha, and also comforted the wounded who fought for Konoha.
Konoha won, which is what the villagers of Konoha have been waiting for, but after a short period of excitement, the entire Konoha village is plunged into sadness. In this battle, Konoha actually sacrificed more than 400 ninjas, more than 100 people were seriously injured and could no longer serve as ninjas, and more than 50 people were disabled, of which the following ninja accounted for the majority.
For this victory, only more than 200 of the more than 800 Konoha ninja continue to remain in the establishment of Konoha ninja legion, and Konoha who has died so many people is almost doing funerals.
The two heroes who brought Konoha this victory, Orochimaru and Steelhand, also did not feel half of the joy.
While Steelhand was seriously injured and hospitalized, Orochimaru was questioned by the Konoha Elder Circle, and the question was: Why did he make the wrong tactical deployment in a hurry without understanding the enemy's situation? Why wasn't there enough security to give Iwa Shinobi a chance? Why didn't Kikyo City come back in time when it was attacked?
In a word, someone must be responsible for such a huge number of casualties in Konoha as a whole, and Orochimaru, who was suspected of making a hasty operation and making a mistake in command and not returning in time, became the main target of the attack.
In the face of those people in the elder group, the arrogant Orochimaru didn't bother to explain at all, and even when he was questioned, he walked away on the spot, so angry that those elders almost jumped up and scolded his mother, and even the faces of the three generations were quite unsightly.
The people of Konoha still don't understand how their big hero is treated, so they can't understand the series of things that will happen in the future.
The steel hand woke up, but after waking up, the steel hand didn't say a word, and when the battle results were placed in front of her, her silky and slender hands were clenched tightly, and they were about to squeeze blood. And every night, she would have nightmares, either dreaming of her brother's rope tree, or of her lover's brokenness, or a pair of scarlet and terrible eyes, and the shattered corpses all over the ground and the blood that could not be wiped off.
After seeing the other injured blood in the hospital, Steel Hand couldn't help but tremble, and finally she ran away from the hospital full of horror, and this scene happened to be seen by Orochimaru, who came to visit her, which led him to many conjectures.
Since then, Steel Hand has never been to the hospital, nor has he left the house, and spends his days in his room. For those who came to visit her, she turned them away, even the call of the three generations and the elders, she seemed to have heard of it.
Orochimaru, who was forced to be idle, began to immerse himself in his favorite research again, and it was during this time that the three generations revealed their intention to abdicate and elect the fourth Hokage, and for a while, Iron Hand, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who was far away on the border, and Mitarai Zixiao, who had been the Minister of Darkness for many years, became the most popular candidates.
And at this time, Orochimaru accepted the red beans who had just graduated from school as a disciple, so the rumor that there was some kind of deal between Orochimaru and Mitarai began to circulate at the top, which caused some people at the top to worry.
Soon after, he successfully completed the task of cleaning up the battlefield, and followed the pursuit, and assisted the sand ninja to drive the rock ninja out of the country of the wind Bo Feng Shuimen back, without too many sacrifices, brilliant achievements and Bo Feng Shuimen's sunny and handsome face, under the impetus of some people, the limelight of Bo Feng Shuimen even overshadowed the three ninjas, and Bo Feng Shuimen gradually became a popular candidate.
The Third Ninja World War seems to have come to an end, at least there is no war on Konoha on the western front, and Konoha Shinobu stationed on the border of Sand Country has also withdrawn to the village to rest, and on the border of Rain Ninja Village, a secret post has been laid to prevent Iwa Shinobi from passing through Rain Ninja Village to attack again. After all, Konoha was unable to make an accurate judgment about Iwa's losses in this battle because of the lack of more information.
And the rain ninja village that gave birth to civil strife is also quite uneasy, because of the war, the position of the rain ninja village as a strategic buffer between the country of fire and the country of earth no longer exists, although the rain ninja village leader Sanshoyu Hanzo is a fierce man in a period with the second generation of the first generation, but when even the three generations of Hokage feel that their strength is not enough, the situation of Hanzo who has been half cut into the ground is really worrying.
In any case, Konoha's victory over Iwa Ninja Village made the country of thunder, which was eyeing the north fierce, dare not act rashly, which greatly reduced the pressure on Konoha and the overall situation tended to improve.
As the victorious side,Meritorious deeds are naturally indispensable,According to the performance of each name under the ninja in this battle,Three generations made a part of the promotion of the lower ninja to the middle ninja,As a reward,At the same time, it also makes up for the dilemma of the serious lack of the middle ninja,Among them,The hippo Hanyu, who has been seriously injured in bed, was also successfully promoted to the middle ninjaใ
After the war, the three generations also fulfilled the original agreement with the major families, and there were some changes in the leadership of the Konoha army and the dark department, and for these, neither the steel hand nor the hippo Hanyu had time to pay attention to it.
Soon after Bo Feng Shuimen returned from the battlefield, the newly injured steel hand found the third generation, and the two talked all night, no one knew what the two said, and even few people knew about it.
In short, two days later, the steel hand quietly left, accompanied by the steel hand's heel mute, and the three generations claimed that the steel hand was out to relax, and Konoha has since lost the trace of the steel hand.
For the sudden departure of the steel hand, Orochimaru had already known in his heart, and he didn't make a fuss, and continued to engage in his own research. After Ziraiya, who was far away in the north, learned of the news, an urgent letter was sent to the hands of the three generations, asking the three generations to explain the reason, but it was not known.
Hippo Hanyu's dim eyes looked out the window, and during this time, he often stared out like this, and he didn't know what he was looking at. When Hong rushed to tell Hippo Hanyu about the unexpected news, Hippo Hanyu also didn't have any reaction, this is the plot of the story exhibition, not something that can be changed by himself.
The problem is that his attitude is to ignore it, with the relationship between Steel Hand and Hippo Hanyu, after hearing the news of Steel Hand's departure, Hippo Hanyu actually has such a numb look. It's not just red weird, but Tomoko the hippo is also strange, since the Hippo Hanyu was injured, the steel hand who used to be like a brother and sister to the hippo Hanyu didn't come to see the hippo Hanyu once, and the steel hand himself was injured at the beginning, and they could understand it, but after the steel hand was better, they didn't come to see it, and they were puzzled.
They already know that it was the Steel Hand who rescued the Hippo Hanyu from Kikyo City, so they have always paid more attention to the Steel Hand, and often mentioned it in front of the Hippo Hanyu. And Hippo Hanyu's reaction was extremely abnormal, except for listening to others, he almost never took the initiative to mention the steel hand, this strange situation, they couldn't guess it.
At this moment, they want to know more, what happened to Kikyo City? This is also what the three generations and Orochimaru want to know the most.
But the busy three generations don't have time to ask about this matter at the moment, Orochimaru! He didn't have a relationship with Hippo Hanyu at all, and he wouldn't come to Hippo Hanyu.
To be one of the Hokage's other popular candidates, Bo Feng Shuimon often comes to visit Hippo Hanyu, and from time to time inquires about the birth of Kikyo Castle that day, but Hippo Hanyu, who has always talked about everything, is secretive and never mentions it. After several temptations, Bo Fengshuimen also understood what he meant, and just comforted him to recuperate.
Take good care of your injuries?? Hippo Hanyu was smiling bitterly, as for what he was laughing at, how could others know. Others just know that the cute boy of the hippopotamus family has performed well on the battlefield this time and has been promoted to a middle ninja. But more talk is sympathy, sympathy for this kind-hearted and qualified boy whose luck is so bad, after waking up in a coma for two years, he actually encountered a big battle like the Battle of Kikyo City, and became a waste.
Whenever he heard such remarks, Hippo Hanyu himself didn't have anything, just smiled, and Kakashi was almost about to choose someone to eat.
And Hanyu, the hippo who is called a waste, doesn't seem to have changed at all except that he doesn't like to hang out as much as he used to, smiling all day long, and comforting Tomoko Hippo and Kakashi from time to time not to be too sad and not too excited.
However, things didn't end so simply, a few months later, Orochimaru used Konoha Shinobu to conduct human experiments, and the matter of studying forbidden techniques was revealed, and the three generations personally captured Orochimaru, but let Orochimaru run away. The Orochimaru incident left the entire village confused.
After all, the hard-working Orochimaru is an idol-like existence in the minds of many Konoha Shinobi, and he actually defected, and many people didn't believe it at first, until the high-level side came up with tangible evidence, and it came to an end.
Orochimaru's escape, so that the northern Jiraiya can no longer sit still, after arranging everything, hurried back to Konoha, but he came back quietly, and almost left Konoha angrily after seeing three generations.
In the end, Bo Feng Shuimen came forward to persuade him, for the sake of Konoha's overall considerations, Jilai also visited the hippo Hanyu, and re-sat in the north, under the positive situation of Jiraiya, Konoha achieved quite good results in the north, and the two sides became a confrontation situation, and they were unwilling to act rashly.
It was the hardest year for the people of Konoha to endure the most, after the tragic victory in Kikyo Castle, one of the three ninjas, Steelhand, left, and Orochimaru, who was also a trinin, defected.
However, the tragedy is not over yet, a month after Orochimaru's defection, the body of Konoha's dark minister, Mitarai Zixiao, was sent back, and the cause of death was the assassination of Kiri Shinobi.
The land of water has civil strife, and Mizukage has to order the withdrawal of the mist shinobi in the land of fire, in order to prevent Konoha from pursuing, the mist ninja sent the best ninja and successfully assassinated Zixiao, who is famous in the ninja world.
At this time, people suddenly realized that there were few characters who could handle the talented Konoha anymore, and the original four generations of popular candidates were only left with Jiraiya master and apprentice, and worries inevitably spread among the crowd.
Although Hippo Hanyu was saddened by the death of his teacher Mitarai Zixiao at this time, he felt a headache even more because of the teacher's high hopes for him.
In front of Hippo Hanyu, Little Red Bean, who still had tears on his face, glared at Hippo Hanyu viciously, waiting for his reply.
Hippo Hanyu smiled bitterly, a joke he made at the beginning, a bet in front of Zixiao, he always remembered in his heart, and when he was dying, he was given a difficult task, that is, to be the teacher of the red bean, and at the same time to take care of the little red bean.
Accepting such a disciple as Hippo Hanyu, Yuhandai Zixiao really earned it.
Can Hanyu the hippo refuse?
