Void and blank eyes!Naruto: Muji

During the solemn mourning, Hyuga Gen and thousands of other Konoha ninja bowed their heads in silence to mourn their companions who died in the war.

It's raining lightly in the sky, and I don't know if I'm crying too.Hinata Yuan's little sense of accomplishment was beaten to pieces in front of the new graves.

Originally, Hyuga Gen thought that with his intervention, the casualties in Konoha had been greatly reduced, and the tragedy of "Lin's death" had not happened.Although Matt Day has become a "vegetative state", there is not necessarily no hope of recovery.

It seems that this is the perfect ending...

But looking at the tombstones standing in front of him, with familiar or unfamiliar names engraved on them one by one, Hinata Yuan always felt that his heart had been severely tugged, and it was extremely heavy.

Those living people have now changed into cold words...

At the end of the memorial ceremony, Hyuga Yuan, along with his parents, sent flowers to the eleven members of the Hyuga clan who had sacrificed their lives.Hyuga Emi covered the tombstone with the silk she had sewn by herself, completing a commemorative ceremony unique to the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Yata... Hinata Yuan looked at the name on the tombstone and then recalled the name of his cousin.

In this Ninja World War, among the eleven members of the Hyuga clan who died, except for the three elders of the clan, the rest were all members of the branch family... A large part of the reason for this was that the branch family assumed the responsibility of protecting the clan.

But no one dared to express dissatisfaction with the Zong family - the sacrifice of the three elders silenced all those who tried to talk about the Zong family.

On the way back, Hinata Yuan's family of three accidentally ran into Yamanaka Haiichi, who was standing alone.Although it was not pleasant to get along with this person before, after his parents greeted him, Hinata Yuan also bowed politely.

While the adults were talking, Hinata Yuan saw clearly the tombstones wiped by Yamanaka Kaiichi - Junzo Ito, Tetsuro Takada, and Nishimura Fukada.

The images of the three guys who had been taught a lesson by him came to mind, and Hinata Yuan suddenly felt empty in his heart.

"Didn't these three guys come back? They even said they wanted to treat me to dinner..."

Hinata murmured.

Yamanaka Hai, who was chatting with Hinata Hiashi, was stunned for a moment, the sadness in his eyes was undisguised - as a teacher, it was a very heavy blow to him that all three students died.

"They are all heroes..."

Yamanaka Haiichi said in a deep voice with some hint.

"Yes... they are all heroes..."

Ri Xiangyuan nodded and bowed deeply towards the tombstones of the three of them.

This is war... Who says those guys who used to be petty thieves can't become heroes?

Maybe it was due to the season, it was raining non-stop in Konoha Village.Although the war has ended, the various effects left over from the war continue to ferment.

The recent Five Shadows Conference... Although I really want to get involved, it is obvious that there is no place for a "little brat" like Hyuga Gen in the Five Shadows Conference.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, only brought one bodyguard, and that was Minato Namikaze - this was the best news, because the bodyguards of the Five Shadows who attended talks had always been the successors of the next Hokage.

Although even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself didn't notice it, Hinata Yuan knew that this old man's Hokage career would soon be "temporarily" over...

The village's dissatisfaction with the Hokage was building up, and there were faint signs of being out of control.

Hinata Yuan sighed. He originally thought it would be no big deal if it was just a meeting, so he didn't interfere.As a result, this became one of the important reasons for Hiruzen Sarutobi's "step down".

The villagers of Konoha Village were very dissatisfied with the outcome of this meeting.

Because of Hyuga Gen's intervention, Konoha was prepared in advance and greatly reduced losses. Therefore, Konoha was not as prosperous as after the Third Ninja War in the original work, and even maintained a good reputation. of combat power.

This also makes Konoha ninjas reasonably believe that Konoha should obtain greater benefits after the war - including but not limited to land, war compensation, and even tailed beasts...

Not convinced?Believe it or not, I will beat you up?That's probably the mentality.

However, perhaps because of his gentler personality or perhaps because of the tough attitudes of other villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi failed to achieve results that satisfied the villagers.

Neither land nor compensation, nothing.There are only a few other villages' indifferent "mutual non-aggression" promises and an "alliance" with Sunagakure, the village that was the first to launch the invasion.

This almost caused the hard-liners in the village to explode: How could they win the war and feel like they had lost the war without reaping any benefits?

As a result, under the deliberate instigation of some individuals, the village was filled with noisy discussions of dissatisfaction with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Haha... It's not that easy to bite off a piece of meat from someone else..."

Ri Xiangyuan listened to the news reported by Bu Jiying and continued to chew melon seeds and read the (banned) books with disdain.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's seemingly cowardly diplomatic strategy was actually forced by the situation.

Although Konoha won the battle, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew only too well how fatal it was to be attacked by other villages.

If we have to ask for some war compensation, if several other villages are forced to join forces to attack Konoha, then something big will happen.

After all, the other ninja villages just didn't get any benefits, and they weren't disabled...

Like now, the right way is to win over a weaker one of the five great ninja villages and prevent them from forming an alliance.

Don't think about war compensation. If the Fire Nation can still occupy the largest and most advantageous land in the world, it has already made money...

Hinata Yuan is not the only smart person in Kimura Village. There are many people who can clearly see the twists and turns, but there are even more who cannot.

Especially under the fanning of some people.

It wasn't that Hyuga Gen didn't want to come forward and cause trouble, or he was pushed back by Sarutobi Hiruzen as soon as his head popped up.

Only then did Hyuga Gen realize that after doing it for a long time, there was also a reason for Sarutobi Hiruzen's deliberate connivance - the old man wanted to retire.

Finally, before the public opinion was about to completely go crazy, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a speech to all the Konoha villagers, and after taking all the blame for the Third Ninja War on himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to abdicate.

The issue of selecting the Fourth Hokage was also put on the agenda at the same time.

There are three most powerful contenders for the position of the Fourth Hokage: Konoha's legendary ninja Sakumo Hatake, Namikaze Minato who became famous as the "Yellow Flash", and Orochimaru, one of the "Three Ninjas" .

What makes Hyuga Gen feel a little weird is that Orochimaru turned into a member of Shimura Danzo's lineage without knowing when.

Danzo, that old coin, actually never mentioned becoming Hokage. Instead, he spared no efforts in pouring all his resources into Orochimaru, trying to push him to the top...
