Chapter 670 Backstab from the Jonin
The jounin or family ninjas who understand the truth of the grudges are fine.
But the civilian ninjas who didn't know the truth really thought that Yu Ninja Village was causing trouble and they were "evil people"! It is the evil party that needs to be "destroyed"!
Therefore, when Namikaze Minato announced that an all-out war with the Kingdom of Yu was about to begin, only a handful of Jonin who did not know the truth cheered excitedly.
"Okay! It should have been like this a long time ago! Let that so-called Kokage know that I, Konoha, am not someone to be bullied!"
"Yes! Let that small country ninja see the strength of Konoha!"
"I've long been unhappy with those arrogant beasts!"
"..."
But this kind of excited cheers only came from a few corners in the wide square, and most of the areas in the square fell into a strange silence!
As a result, the atmosphere in front of the Hokage Building suddenly became weird and extremely depressing.
The shouting Konoha ninjas slowly stopped their excitement and turned towards their companions who stood silently like dead people beside them, keeping their mouths shut.
All of a sudden.
Surprise, doubt, dissatisfaction, anger, silence, indifference, and alert eyes all fell on these silent people.
"W-what are you doing?"
"Yuko, why don't you say anything? The Fourth Generation has decided to go to war with Yu Ninja!? Aren't you happy?"
"..."
The face of the Konoha ninja named Yuko changed slightly, but in the end he turned around helplessly to look at his questioning companion. Facing the other person's gaze, Yuko's eyes became complicated in an instant, and with a long sigh, he spoke with difficulty. .
"Luo, I know that Master Jiraiya is your most respected ninja, but don't you understand yet? Facing the Yunin Village that has been defeated repeatedly, Konoha's people no longer want to fight. And in this war, I believe Even the fourth generation adults don’t want to see it..."
Hearing this, the man swayed, almost fainting, and finally asked angrily.
"But Master Jiraiya and their hatred, should I, Konoha, just forget about it?"
Seeing that her friend still didn't understand, Yuzi gritted his teeth, but his tone was deeply dejected. "Do you think it's a good deal to trade our lives for the lives of those despicable insects?"
"..."
Hearing this, Luo, who was still emotional at first, calmed down instantly, then closed his eyes feebly and stood there, speechless.
Yes.
No one is willing to trade their lives with the countless bugs in Tang Ninja Village.
Even though he was once a die-hard subordinate of Jiraiya, after asking himself, he felt that he was not worthy!
How can hatred and other things be as important as your own life?
......
silence.
Under the Hokage Building, there was nothing but silence.
Looking at this scene, even though Minato Namikaze was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy deep in his heart.
If it was during the Third Ninja War, or earlier, his yellow and shining name was unknown to everyone in the ninja world.
Konoha was victorious in every battle. Under the leadership of his rescuer, Konoha's prestige once reached its peak!
Foreign ninjas are all in awe!
In Konoha at that time, ninjas were eager to fight and were never afraid of fighting.
At that time, he was very proud of himself.
When he was twenty-three years old, the moment he wore the Hokage Godly Robe, symbolizing Konoha's supreme power, Namikaze Minato's reputation reached its peak!
But this kind of reputation stayed at that moment forever.
In today's Konoha, apart from Uchiha, it is difficult for Minato Namikaze to find a sincere supporter!
This is all because, as the Hokage, he only provoked Yu Ninja, the great enemy of the village, but faced Hiruzen Sarutobi who was disabled due to a sneak attack by Yu Ninja Village, plus there were so many elite Jonin before and after him. died in battle, and as the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato actually chose not to take revenge on Yu Ninja Village, causing his reputation in Konoha Village to suddenly plummet!
As a result, Konoha, which was the instigator of the incident, suffered heavy losses. Countless Konoha ninjas who died heroically defending their homeland were buried in the Land of Fire!
The deaths of these heroes only brought minimal casualties to the insect army in Tang Ninja Village!
Now, the Konoha ninjas can't help but have deep doubts about the meaning of this war.
What are we fighting for?
Are you fighting for your yellow flash of selfishness?
Haven’t enough of our companions died?
If you, Namikaze Minato, hadn't been looking for trouble in the first place, would Yuno Country, the sixth largest country, be keeping an eye on Konoha now?
Under the building, many Konoha ninja secretly glanced at Namikaze Minato on the high platform with hidden eyes, anger flashed in their eyes.
"Are you going to let us Konoha ninjas use our lives to pay for the mistakes you made by Namikaze Minato!?"
The cold gazes from below made Namikaze Minato feel like needles pricking his whole body!
His delicate features became stiff, and he clenched his fists, feeling angry but speechless.
Yes, as Konoha, under his leadership, fought against the Yunin Village but lost again and again. Namikaze Minato knew that his image in the minds of many Konoha ninjas was no longer what it used to be.
But what he didn't expect was that it wasn't until today that he discovered the truth that made his heart tremble!
It turned out that the ninjas of Konoha were more than disappointed with him, the Fourth Hokage.
But hate!
Naked hatred!
More and more Konoha ninjas have listened to the rumors that Shangguan Mo sent people to spread maliciously throughout the ninja world, and he, the Fourth Hokage, is the culprit for Konoha's current situation. On the head!
"But at that time, I just wanted to get rid of this Yugakure ninja who made me feel in danger in advance!"
Namikaze Minato's heart was filled with pain!
He didn't understand why the Konoha ninja who once held him up so high would now regard him as an enemy! War is meant to kill people!
He didn't understand why Shangguan Mo, who was just an orphan picked up by the Evil God Cult in Tangren Village and two years younger than him, turned out to be his biggest enemy in his life! ?
How can there be such a blood inheritance limit in the ninja world that can infinitely cultivate psychic beasts and insects?
This is totally against common sense!
