Chapter 53: Lost in the End!!!

At the end of the 45th year of Konoha, the Hidden Mist Village gathered nearly 10,000 ninjas in the southern part of the Land of Hot Water and assisted by the Three-Tails to attack the Hidden Mist camp at night. Konoha was defeated and eventually forced to retreat.

As the commander, Orochimaru was responsible for covering the retreat and buying time for the retreat of the Hidden Mist Ninjas. He faced the complete form of the Three-Tails and was finally seriously injured.

After that, the Hidden Mist Ninja Army marched straight into the Land of Fire in one fell swoop.

Konoha Village is facing the biggest crisis since the start of the Third Ninja World War.

For a while, people in Konoha were panicked, and the Third Hokage almost decided to withdraw some forces from the northern front, and then personally led the team to the eastern front of the Land of Fire to block the continued attack of the Hidden Mist. The top leaders were even discussing whether to send the strongest existence among the tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails, to the front line to fight against the Three-Tails of the Hidden Mist Village.

However, what was surprising was that before Konoha could make further responses. After invading the Fire Country, the Hidden Mist Village, which had an absolute advantage, chose to stop the attack and instead withdrew a considerable part of its forces to the Water Country.

Konoha was both grateful and puzzled about this, and the other villages watching were even more puzzled as to why the Hidden Mist Village, which was on the verge of victory, suddenly stopped. Even within the Hidden Mist Village, there were quite a few people who didn't understand. Victory was clearly in sight, and Konoha was extremely weak at the moment. Why not take advantage of this victory to win the greatest benefit for the Hidden Mist Village?

Did the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village reach a secret truce agreement with Konoha? Or did other villages try to sneak attack the Hidden Mist Village while the main force of the Hidden Mist Village was outside? Or maybe Konoha had already sent the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails, to the front line, ready to fight a decisive battle with the Hidden Mist Village, and the Hidden Mist Village didn't want to be the first to overly stimulate the Hidden Mist Village?

In a short period of time, various reliable or unreliable speculations emerged one after another.

But the withdrawal of the Kirigakure is a good thing for Konoha after all. With a large number of Kirigakure ninjas being transferred back to the Land of Water, the pressure on the eastern front of Konoha suddenly decreased, and Kirigakure and Konoha once again formed a state of balanced confrontation.

"Finally back again!"

Lying on a piece of grass by the river, Liu Yu held a sharp grass in his mouth, looking at the white clouds floating leisurely above, and couldn't help but sigh.

Only after experiencing war can you appreciate how precious the peace is at this moment.

Breathing the fresh air in big mouthfuls, Liu Yu couldn't help but reveal a hint of intoxication. It's still comfortable to have this fresh air mixed with the smell of soil, unlike the front line of the Land of Soup, where the air is always mixed with the disgusting smell of blood, although Liu Yu also knows that this may be psychological factors.

In this war with the Kirigakure Village, Konoha suffered heavy losses, and the village's senior officials had to supplement some of the previously rotated personnel to Orochimaru's command. And the Hai Class 1 was lucky to be rotated back to Konoha for a period of repair. Liu Yu couldn't help wondering, was it because the old man of the Third Generation knew that his youngest son was injured on the front line and opened a back door for them to return to the village to rest?

To be honest, when she knew that Kirigakure would withdraw part of its combat power to the Land of Water, Liu Yu was also puzzled. She knew that the mastermind behind Kirigakure was Uchiha Madara.

Why did Uchiha Madara ask Kirigakure, which had an absolute advantage, to withdraw its troops? The only answer Liu Yu could come up with was that Konoha's weakness did not fit in with Uchiha Madara's plan. After all, Uchiha Madara's ultimate plan was the "Eye of the Moon", not the destruction of Konoha. Now Uchiha Madara was dragged down by his aging body, and what he wanted was to find a "successor" from the Uchiha family.

Putting his hands under his head, Liu Yu closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare tranquility. Liu Yu knew that it would not be long before they would be sent to the front again. Konoha's combat power was tight now, and they would not have much time to enjoy it.

Walking on the streets of Konoha now, you can clearly see that every pedestrian has a trace of anxiety on his face. Konoha is now in the biggest crisis since the establishment of the village. The northern front has accumulated heavy troops, but has been unable to make a breakthrough; the eastern front has been burned to the land of the Land of Fire by the Hidden Mist Village; the Land of the Moon, the Hidden Cloud Village is even more eyeing. Under such circumstances, the villagers can't help but worry.

Now there is such an argument in Konoha Village, saying that the third generation of Hokage is old and can no longer take on the responsibility of Hokage. There are even some extreme remarks that the reason why Konoha is facing the current dilemma is all the fault of the third generation. If Konoha wants to win this war, it must replace a young and responsible new Hokage

Liu Yu can guess that the driving force behind these public opinions is most likely Danzo. This guy has been eyeing the throne of Hokage for a long time. However, Danzo is still in a cooperative relationship with Orochimaru. If nothing unexpected happens, he will recommend Orochimaru as the fourth generation Hokage as in the original work.

But now Orochimaru has suffered a series of defeats, and the Hidden Mist Village has entered the land of the Land of Fire. His reputation in the village has dropped to the lowest point. He is not as good as Jiraiya, who is also one of the three ninjas, and even Jiraiya's apprentice Minato Namikaze. Moreover, in the eastern battlefield commanded by Orochimaru, the Hyuga clan lost the precious Byakugan, which is the only Byakugan that has been lost in the Hyuga clan since ancient times (the Byakugan that was taken away by the Kusanagi clan was at least taken back by them). Although the Byakugan was taken away by the Hidden Mist Village, the Hyuga clan can't help but blame Orochimaru. At least the Hyuga clan, the top family in Konoha, will never support Orochimaru in competing for the throne of the fourth generation Hokage.

"Danzo!!!"

Liu Yu unconsciously muttered this name in her heart. Danzo can be said to be one of the people she is most reluctant to face in the current Konoha Village. Another person she is reluctant to face is her former top boss in the Land of Hot Water, Orochimaru. But in the future, she will have to deal with Danzo, who is a senior official, when she lives in Konoha.

But Liu Yu, who has the memory of her previous life, naturally knows what kind of person Danzo is. This guy, in the name of Konoha, has left countless messes for Konoha. When Konoha was facing a crisis, he always stood aside and tried to preserve his power. He contributed to Akatsuki's blackening.

For this controller of the darkness under Konoha, Liu Yu, like most people in her previous life, has no good feelings towards him. If possible, Liu Yu would like to stay away from him.

By the way, this guy seems to have invited her to join his root?

Liu Yu once again recalled the last time she met Danzo when she went to the third generation to receive the Konoha forehead protector. At that time, the one-eyed man stared at her and made her hair all over.

In the sky, white clouds drifted by leisurely; the breeze blew by, bending a blade of grass; the small fish occasionally splashed in the stream, creating a few waves. In this peaceful atmosphere, Liu Yu's tension on the battlefield relaxed. With a breeze as his pillow and all sorts of thoughts, Liu Yu fell asleep gently.
