Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Three Hokage-sama, I know this is against my duty, but..."

Hearing the words of the Third Hokage, there was a long silence in the shadows, and then, as if he had finally made up his mind after hesitating for a long time, a voice came from the shadows.

"I know your uneasiness and worry."

Regarding this, the slight disappointment in Sandai Hokage's eyes slowly faded away, replaced by a sigh.

He knew very well what the ninja behind him, who had no sense of existence and tried his best to hide, wanted to express.

Since he decided this matter, he naturally considered the consequences.

It's no wonder that this ninja, who shouldn't have felt uneasy and worried, is now showing uneasy and worried.

Some even forgot his duties.

For this ninja, he has given up his name, his own life, and has completely become a shadow. He should not have interfered with any of his decisions. This ninja is just a receiver, and even the voice There shouldn't be.

And because of this, this ninja violated his duty like this at this time.

It is precisely because he was able to give up his name, life, and completely become a shadow, he should not even have a voice, so he will give up his responsibilities at this time and make his own voice.

Because, he will only make such a decision if he loves the village deeply and can give everything for the village.

It is also because of this that he will give up his duties at this time for the sake of the village.

"Then, Third Hokage-sama, why do you..."

Regarding this, he seemed to hesitate again, as if he had made a decision, the ninja in the shadow broke his duty and oath again, and spoke.

"You, are you worried about Danzo?"

Hearing this, the Third Hokage no longer beat around the bush, but spoke straightforwardly.

"Yes Yes!"

Regarding this, as if being told what he wanted in his heart, the ninja in the shadow seemed to be slightly startled, and he hesitated before speaking.

"Do you think Muye Village is better after I have been in power for so many years?"

Hearing this, Sandai Hokage smiled slightly and spoke.

"Of course, if there were no three generations of Hokage-sama, the village would have been plunged into darkness after the Nine-Tails Rebellion. It was you who resolutely walked up to the stage and once again supported Konoha to have the present Konoha, the best in the ninja world. Strong Konoha! Didn't you make Konoha better?"

In this regard, such a voice full of affirmation came from the shadows.

What are you kidding?

Of course, the three generations of Hokage made Konoha Village even better!

Without the Third Hokage, Konoha would have fallen to the bottom of the valley during the Nine Tails Rebellion.

He has been following the Third Hokage and is deeply trusted by the Third Hokage. Regarding the situation after the Nine Tails Rebellion, I am afraid that no one except the Third Hokage knows better than him.

At that time, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha lost the fourth generation of Hokage, which was already a loss that basically shook the foundation, and met Uchiha Nobuhiko, the second Uchiha Madara, who was born, which could have supported the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Master Chiba, who was in a mess, had to contain Nobuhiko Uchiha, and the entire Konoha was immediately on the verge of a historical turning point.

Is it reduced to a second-tier ninja village like Sand Yin? Or, to be reborn from the ashes again, to stand on the pinnacle of the ninja world again?

To be honest, at that time, after counting the losses, looking at the long list of young and middle-aged elites who had guarded Konoha for more than ten years, the entire intelligence department was almost plunged into a deep haze. The then head of the intelligence department , I waited almost a whole night at the door of the temporary Hokage office at that time, holding the loss report, and my whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

In the Nine Tails Rebellion, in addition to the new seeds that had been protected, almost 65% of the large number of outstanding ninjas that Konoha had accumulated since World War II were lost in this catastrophe.

In terms of economic losses, almost rebuilding half of Ninja Village is also very difficult.

At that time, the third ninja world war was coming to an end, and this war had almost wiped out the wealth Konoha had accumulated over the years.

The economy is also in a quagmire.

Coupled with Konoha's original intentional problems, and the outside world's various small actions after learning about this matter.

It can be said that Konoha was already suffering from internal and external troubles at that time, and he was already standing on the edge of the cliff. One step forward may be an abyss, and one step back seems to be an abyss.

Because a lot of news has not been passed on, it seems that the Nine Tails Rebellion is not that serious, but those who know the inside story are almost panic-stricken.

This is Konoha's biggest loss in history.

Neither the Second World War nor the Third World War had such a big loss. Just one Nine-Tails Rebellion wiped out most of Konoha's strength.

Moreover, even Hokage has fallen.

In the end, it was the old man who had been relegated to the second line due to his poor health, and even considered retired, stood in front of the stage again, turned the tide, and pulled Konoha back from the edge of the cliff.

He still remembered that it was the old man who suppressed Danzo who was about to move, negotiated with the Fire Nation, and obtained a lot of recovery funds. At the same time, he used various means to force Yanyin Village to sign a contract.

He offered assistance to Sand Yin, who was already an ally, and appeased Sand Yin's wavering attitude.

Even, they provided Kirigakure, who did not participate in the war, with a considerable amount of supplies, dispelling the bad intentions of this ninja village that has been blocked for several years and has been a little uncertain about the situation.

All of this seems to be light, and it can even be said that after the third Hokage came out, it quickly and easily resolved other unstable factors, pushing the ninja world steadily towards the general trend of ending the war.

However, only he who has been by the side of the third Hokage knows how much the third Hokage has paid, how many sleepless nights and the overdraft of the body that has not been recuperated can do such a thing.

And even for the Third Hokage, who almost used their lifespan to clean up the mess, in the end, they still couldn't rely on these methods to finally solve the mess caused by this catastrophe.

Yunyin Village.

This village, which has been causing great troubles to Konoha and whose size is very close to Konoha's, once again got stuck in Konoha's throat.

Although Yan Yin signed the contract first, and Sand Yin and Wu Yin also stopped suspicious actions against Konoha, Yun Yin Village put on a stance of fighting to the end.

The throat of Konoha was completely stuck, because the reason why Konoha was able to make Iwagakushi, Sandgakure, and Kirigakure to sign a contract or stop their activities was more or less intimidating.

First of all, the information about the Nine-Tails Rebellion obtained by the outside world was deliberately leaked after the Third Hokage came out of the mountain. The losses above are obviously much lower than the real ones.

Secondly, in order to get Yanyin Village to sign a contract, Konoha released all the elites at the bottom of the box at once, which shocked the intelligence department of Yanyin Village. Coupled with the unpredictable death news of Lord Chiba, Yanyin finally gave up. of.

In fact, at that time, Konoha was already an empty shell.

And Yunyin Village seemed to smell that Konoha was an empty shell, so Chen Bing was on the border of the Fire Kingdom.

Although they have no intention of attacking, but if they see Yun Yin acting so boldly and Konoha has not taken any action, then I am afraid that by then, the other three major ninja villages that have stopped before will be ready to move again.

Even, the end of the third ninja war will become a new beginning.

One, the beginning of the elimination of Konoha by the Four Great Ninja Villages.

At that time, he still remembered that the old man's face was filled with wrinkles overnight, and his hair was already pale. And in a gesture of bowing their heads and pleading, they sent a letter acknowledging the victory status of Yunyin Village, and listed an unprecedented list of war compensation.

It is only required that Yun Yin retreats to sign a contract and keep the terms secret within one year.

At that time, he couldn't even describe his anger and helplessness.

What a humiliation!

However, it happens to be the most correct choice.

Then, there was Yunyin who came to Konoha Peace Talk to do whatever he wanted, and even if Yunyin did whatever he wanted, Hinata was just protecting himself, but Sandai Hokage had to hand over Hyuga's body.

Fortunately, Master Chiba later attacked Yun Yin's army unexpectedly, and within a few days, defeated the three generations of Raikage and the most perfect Kirabi in succession, causing Yun Yin to bow his head truly and obediently.

Although it was because of Lord Chiba that Yunyin finally bowed his head, but the achievements of the three generations of Hokage are not surpassed by such Lord Chiba.

Konoha is able to have today, and the third Hokage is definitely the one who has the most credit.

As for Konoha, who stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world, who can say otherwise?

"The first Ninja World War, the second Ninja World War, the third Ninja World War... Konoha has stood at the strongest position in the ninja world, but it still broke many families and caused parents to lose their children. Let the children lose their parents...even, let the orphans who are only a few years old go to the battlefield. Where, what's so good!"

But at this time, the smile on the corner of Sandai Hokage's mouth slowly subsided, gradually turning into a kind of bitterness.

The deepest bitterness.

Even, there is a trace of pain.

"Third Hokage-sama, what's wrong with you..."

And upon hearing the words of the Three Hokages, a rather exciting thought sounded in the shadows.

To be honest, the ninja in the shadows was already a little worried and anxious.

The words of the third Hokage seem to be a denial of his entire Hokage career, which is almost an expression of loss of self-confidence that is almost impossible to appear on a strong Kage class.

This is not the attitude a Hokage should have!

As the Hokage who carries the entire village on his back, if he loses confidence and becomes depressed or timid, then the village will also fall into a trough.

However, this is not what the ninja in the shadows is worried about. What he is worried and anxious about is what will allow this to rule for decades. As Hokage, both mentality and strength have been impeccable. Old Hokage doubted himself so much.

This is the scariest thing!

"It's just that when people get old, sometimes they always think of the past, those who are no longer there."

In this regard, the third Hokage said so.

In the words, there is already a bit of a sigh.

"You are still Hokage of Konoha, please..."

Hearing this, in the shadows, the ninja said hastily.

"I know, but is Danzo's idea really wrong? Although his methods are extreme, is his idea really wrong?"

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage shook his head and said.

"this……"

But upon hearing this sentence, the ninja in the shadows was slightly taken aback.

Shimura Danzo, this name, in fact, is almost a representative of darkness in the village.

Most of the ninjas who are qualified to know some extreme secrets know that the village has an organization called Root that specializes in dealing with incidents that cannot be handled on the surface. It is almost an autonomous organization that is on the edge of the village's political system.

Its status, from a certain point of view, is an organization that exists on the same level as Anbu.

And the leader of this organization is that Shimura Danzo.

To be honest, I instinctively dislike this Shimura Danzo, the ninja in the shadows, this old man who usually doesn't show his dew, always has a feeling that makes his spine chill and unpredictable.

I always feel that he himself is a kind of deep darkness.

There is a feeling that he himself is a dark corner of the ninja world.

So, almost instinctively, he didn't want to get close to this old man, let alone understand the four words Shimura Danzo.

However, now that the Third Hokage was mentioned, he thought about the information he received from following the Third Hokage on weekdays, but he remembered that in an incident with the Third Hokage, the one who was invisible and always seemed silent Talk a lot, and don't say any heavy words to the third Hokage. He looks like an old man who has always had a low profile, but that time he seemed to burst out suddenly.

Expressed dissatisfaction with the current situation in the entire ninja world.

It was also that time, from Shimura Danzo's mouth, the ninja in the shadows knew such a crazy idea of ​​"unifying the ninja world".

But later, after that argument, he didn't see any movement or reaction, and the ninja in the shadows ignored it.

Now, when the Third Hokage brought up this matter again, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

However, if you think about it carefully, if Danzo's concept can really succeed, not to mention the process, but in terms of the result alone, the integration of the entire ninja world is indeed better than it is now.

After all, after the ninja world is one, there will be no war.

But is it possible?

This is impossible!

The ninja world does not represent the whole world, there are five major countries and various small countries, will they merge into one?

At that time, I am afraid that there will be even greater chaos.

Totally impossible.

The feasibility is basically zero!

"So, is the current Konoha really a good Konoha?"

And at this time, hearing the unsustainable words of the ninja in the shadows, Sandai Hokage slowly raised his head, as if speaking to the ninja in the shadows behind him, and seemed to be speaking softly to himself.

"At that time, I really..."

At the end, he whispered softly.

On his face, there was a look of reminiscence.
