Konoha Koi

Chapter 268 Returning to the village anecdote
"Ah... on duty day and night, how long are we ninjas going to live this boring life?"

Outside Muye Village, the rising sun shone on the earth. The young man who had been on duty all night couldn't bear the sleepiness, and complained unconsciously.

"Be careful, it is still a time of war, and enemies may sneak into Konoha to attack or spy on intelligence at any time!" Another guard is also a ninja, but his attitude is very cautious, as if he is on guard against something.Suddenly, he warned in a low voice:
"Now the Konoha Security Force, here is merciless towards ninjas who neglect their duties! Not long ago, a Chunin fell asleep while on duty, and they found out that he was using a shadow clone to replace himself on duty. Now he has been locked up on guard. It's been five days in the bureau!"

"Ah!!" Hearing this, the young man said with resentment on his face:
"Damn! Speaking of the Uchiha family, I feel uncomfortable! The powerful ninjas of other families have been sent to the battlefield, but we are the ninjas and Uchiha stays behind Konoha. We are on duty day and night, and Those Uchihas go to work normally like the old masters, and occasionally come to point fingers! These nasty guys, what they say to attack criminals inside the ninja, is simply using the power given to them to do their best..."

"Don't talk nonsense, the Uchiha family is also very important to Konoha!" The middle-aged ninja interrupted:

"Now the Senshou Clan is out of favor. Except for Naruto-sama, there are not many powerful ninjas left. If there is no Uchiha family guarding Konoha, it is impossible for us to be safe and sound now!"

"Cut! That's just because of his reputation. I heard that Uchiha also suffered heavy losses in that attack." The young man continued with disdain on his face:
"If they are sent to the battlefield, I'm afraid they won't perform much better than other families!"

The middle-aged ninja reminded: "Don't forget, there was news from the battlefield not long ago that Uchiha Aurora, the disciple of the first generation of adults, made great achievements in the fight against Iwanin!"

Hearing this, the young ninja suddenly put away his disdainful expression, walked up to the middle-aged ninja and inquired: "Senior, senior! I heard that Uchiha Aurora was defeated by himself in the battle of Kusanagi Village. Is it true that two tailed beasts wiped out hundreds of elite rock ninjas?!"

"About this point, isn't the battle report on the front line written, don't you still have doubts?" The middle-aged ninja asked doubtfully.

"Hey..." The young ninja sighed: "The public battle report is only the result, but I heard from the wounded who came back from the front line that the real battle situation is much more dangerous than the description! A man who ran violently was killed by him directly , and I heard that the war was too fierce, and the aftermath alone caused many ninjas to be seriously injured or even killed! Is it true?!"

"This..." The middle-aged ninja frowned slightly when he heard this, and nodded in approval: "It seems to be true, but those are just hearsay... and it must not be taken seriously..."

Since Konoha defeated the main force of Iwanin in the Country of Grass, the battlefield between the two sides began to shift to other borders.At the same time as the strategy shifted, many wounded on the battlefield were also brought back to Konoha, and of course they also brought back various news from the battlefield.

There were all kinds of rumors at that time, and a small number of ninjas heard some different news.Just like the middle-aged ninja in front of him, one of his former juniors told him that Uchiha Aurora was once controlled by a monster, which accidentally injured some compatriots, and may even lead to the death of some people!

For Konoha, this kind of news is definitely a scandal.Regardless of any reason on the battlefield, things like hurting or killing one's teammates are not forgiven.No matter how much credit that person made on the battlefield, once such a thing happened, other ninjas would feel more or less jealous.

However, there are still a small number of ninjas who know about this matter. On the afternoon of the day when the wounded were withdrawn, a large number of Anbe ninjas came to Konoha Hospital.The next day, when there were details about the battle, they were all replaced with another kind of rhetoric.

The middle-aged ninja was also called to lecture by Anbu, and he must never reveal things that should not be said.

The other party told him that this was an order from the Second Hokage, and Uchiha Aurora was a battlefield hero shaped by Konoha.After that battle, his name has spread throughout the ninja world, and Konoha must not be ashamed because of his stains.

The middle-aged ninja understands the truth, and it is by no means such a superficial reason to portray him as Konoha's hero.

That person is the only disciple of the first generation of Hokage, and is the most favored existence of Konoha's senior management.As for his image, Konoha will spare no effort to maintain it.At the same time, Uchiha stood on the opposite side of all families almost from the beginning because of the establishment of the garrison.For both parties, Uchiha Aurora's identity is very special, and his existence can resolve this contradiction to a certain extent.

"Ah! When will I be able to have this kind of power, be invincible on the battlefield, defeat those ninjas from the enemy country, and become the hero of Konoha!" The young ninja suddenly sighed, looking into the distance with hope.

Obviously Konoha's propaganda and brainwashing during this period are very effective, at least most ninjas recognize Aurora's credit.

"It's decided! I must be promoted to Chunin as soon as possible, get the appreciation of the second-generation adults, and become a ninja like Uchiha Aurora!"

The middle-aged ninja shook his head. The boy who just graduated from the ninja school has been brainwashed very successfully. At least in his eyes, everyone has the possibility to become the heir recognized by Hokage.

However, at this moment, a black mark on the ground not far away lit up, and a figure suddenly appeared in the center of the gate!
"Who is it!?" The middle-aged ninja subconsciously uttered a voice, quickly pulled out a kunai and shot it forward.

Whoosh!
A white right hand stretched forward, grabbed Kunai easily, and then raised his head to reveal his identity:
"It's me! Jonin Uchiha Aurora has returned to the team and registered here!"

"U... Uchiha Aurora..." The young ninja was stunned, and stood motionless...

"Okay, please come with me to register for returning to the village!" The middle-aged ninja nodded and pointed to the workbench behind. When he turned around, he patted the young ninja's head hard, and whispered:
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you report to Hokage-sama soon? The second-generation master has ordered that Uchiha Aurora should be notified as soon as possible when he comes back!"

"Hi!" The young ninja nodded and answered loudly, the sound of the voice startled the birds in the woods outside the gate.

At the same time, in Muye Hospital, a young man wrapped in bandages stood quietly in front of the window sill, as if he was expecting something.
