Chapter 87: Truce with Iwagakure
After successfully destroying the Kannabi Bridge, the few people who joined Minato began to retreat. With Minato as a powerful fighter along the way, they didn't have to be as cautious as when they came. They could just kill any enemies. Soon, they retreated to the area controlled by Konoha.
On the way back, Liu Yu looked at Minato in confusion. In the original work, when Minato met Kakashi and the others, Kakashi and the others were surrounded by a large number of Iwagakure ninjas. Calculating the time, Minato seemed to be late this time. Maybe it was because the Kusagakure Village joined the war, which increased the pressure on the front line.
And Minato also learned the details of this mission from Kakashi. Knowing that they had sneaked into the vicinity of Kannabi Bridge without any danger under Liu Yu's hidden perception. He also knew that they met members of the Ura clan during this mission. Only then did Minato understand what was wrong with the slight abnormality when he saw Liu Yu before.
I have heard before that when Kusa Senfutang was carrying out missions on the front line of the Grass Country, they would often brutally kill the ninjas of Iwagakure and Kusagakure who fell into their hands. Minato looked at Liuyu worriedly, hoping that the child would not be blinded by hatred.
After returning to the Konoha camp, Haiyi came up to him. When he saw Minato's affirmative look, Haiyi couldn't help laughing loudly, saying something like "the overall situation has been decided" while laughing.
In the next few days, perhaps because the supply was cut off, Iwagakure and Kusagakure began to go crazy. Attacks were launched one after another on the front line, and the scale was stronger each time. Facing the crazy attacks of Iwagakure and Kusagakure, Konoha seemed a little weak for a while.
Facing the wave after wave of attacks from Iwagakure and Kusagakure, news began to spread inside Konoha that "Iwagakure's supply line has been destroyed by Lord Minato, and Iwagakure will soon be unable to hold on. Now it is just their last madness. The victory of this war must belong to Konoha."
As soon as this news came out, Konoha's morale soared, and they stubbornly blocked the joint attack of Iwagakure and Kusagakure, and the offensive of Kusagakure and Iwagakure was difficult to make progress.
Soon, the problems caused by the destruction of the supply line came. Due to the lack of supplies, the offensives launched by Iwagakure and Kusagakure became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped.
In this situation, the old man Ohnoki also knew that this war could not be fought. However, he did not want to admit defeat. He still remembered the shame that Konoha left him. The Iwagakure ninjas still maintained a confrontation with Konoha on the front line of the Land of Grass, and refused to send envoys to Konoha to conclude a peace treaty.
In the end, in this competition that tested the endurance of both sides, Konoha was defeated. At the instruction of the Third Hokage, the envoys of Konoha set off for the Hidden Rock Village to seek peace.
It is unknown what the envoys talked about, and finally the Hidden Rock Ninjas began to withdraw from the Land of Grass first.
Seeing the situation change, the other protagonist of the war, the Hidden Rock Village, quickly sent envoys to Konoha to seek peace. They said that the last time they joined the war with Konoha, they were completely forced by the Hidden Rock Village, and the high-level officials of the Hidden Rock Village were also peace-loving. They dared not mention anything about the damage caused by the war between the parties in their own territory.
Because Konoha was extremely weak at the moment, and there was still the remaining Hidden Mist Village to deal with, the high-level officials of Konoha did not finally hold the Hidden Rock Village responsible.
In the end, after solving the problems of the Hidden Rock and Hidden Rock, the ninjas of Konoha also began to evacuate the Land of Grass.
"It's over!" Liu Yu sighed, looking back at the Land of Grass that was getting farther and farther behind him.
Liu Yu had no nostalgia for the country where he was born, but only hatred. I just don't know when I will come here next time, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to take revenge.
The Land of Hot Springs, the Land of the Moon, the Land of Grass, the Hidden Mist, the Hidden Cloud, the Hidden Rock, the Hidden Grass, she has experienced many wars.
However, the end of this war made Liu Yu feel a little strange. It had nothing to do with the two enemies she killed in this war, but because she changed the trajectory in the original work and saved Obito.
It can be said that the development of the Naruto world is likely to change because of this small change.
Soon, the ninja army of Konoha returned to Konoha. Before approaching the gate, they saw the surging cheering crowd in the distance.
When Minato Namikaze took the lead in entering the gate of Konoha, cheers that shook the whole village sounded, and the villagers came to welcome their hero.
The senior officials of Konoha stood at the front of the welcoming team. Seeing Minato Namikaze responding to the villagers around him with a smile on his face, the third generation of Hokage couldn't help but smile.
Minato Namikaze defeated the two major enemies of Kumogakure and Iwagakure successively, and his reputation within the village has reached a peak. The news that the Third Hokage was about to abdicate came out in the village, and for a while, the voices for Minato Namikaze to succeed the Fourth Hokage became louder and louder.
Asuma and others in the team also smiled and responded to the villagers cheering for them. Seeing the proud faces of the villagers around them, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile. This is the village worth protecting.
Konoha's propaganda to the village is that they won the war, and it was Konoha's yellow flash that led them to win this victory.
Little did they know that at the same time, a grand welcome ceremony was also held inside the Hidden Rock Village. After Ohnoki loudly announced that they had won the war on the high platform, the enthusiasm of the villagers of the Hidden Rock Village below was directly ignited.
But Liu Yu knew that although Konoha had successfully forced Iwagakure to withdraw its troops, it actually lost the war. In fact, Konoha made huge concessions in this contract before Iwagakure agreed to sign it. Therefore, it was not wrong for Iwagakure to publicize that they had won the war. However, Konoha also achieved its own strategic goal, so it was not wrong to say that it was a victory.
War and politics are like this. Whether it is a real victory or not is no longer so important under the overall interests.
However, Shimura Danzo seemed very dissatisfied with the signing of this contract. In his opinion, this is not a victory. What is the difference between winning a war and signing such a treaty and losing a war?
Under the pressure of the top leaders headed by Ichizo, and also to be responsible for the Konoha ninjas who died in the war, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to resign the position of Hokage.
Regarding the candidate for the fourth generation Hokage, Danzo proposed Orochimaru, but was denied by the third generation Hokage Sarutobi. The third generation then proposed his long-chosen successor, Minato Namikaze, because of his outstanding performance in the Third Ninja World War and the recognition of the villagers.
In the end, after obtaining the unanimous consent of the Fire Country Daimyo, Minato successfully became the fourth generation Hokage of the Fire Country Konoha Ninja Village.
