Chapter 187 The war is over

After Chiyu left, Uchiha Shisui had a solemn expression, and kept repeating Chiyu's words in his mind, 'If I were alone, could I target the Uchiha clan like this?'

Uchiha Shisui is not a fool. From Qianyu's words, he guessed that Qianyu had most likely been authorized to do so.

The only ones who can authorize it...are the Konoha high-ranking officials.

Uchiha Shisui suddenly smiled sadly.

He always thought that as long as Konoha did not target the Uchiha clan, then everything would still be in time and everything could be saved.

I didn't expect that Konoha has already started targeting the Uchiha clan.

And Chiba is the person that Konoha sent out to target the Uchiha clan.

Then Uchiha Shisui murmured, "It's not too late, it must be not too late. Hokage-sama and the others are only asking Chiba-sama to target Uchiha, not completely. There must be a way. I must stop this!"

Uchiha Shisui's eyes became extremely firm.

...

The war continues.

An important battle report came from the front line.

The head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Masaki, died in battle.

And Uchiha Masaki's son, Uchiha Fugaku was elected as the clan leader.

After hearing the news, Qianyu looked at the campfire in front of him and smiled.

The situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha will soon change completely.

As time passed, the balance of the Battle of Mount Kikyo gradually tilted towards Konoha.

Fighting on the Fire Country's home ground, as long as the ninja coalition of the Sand Village and the Cloud Village is delayed, the disadvantage will become greater and greater, and Konoha's advantage will naturally become greater and greater.

Another month has passed.

Unable to afford any longer, the Sand Village decided to withdraw its troops, abandoned its alliance with the Cloud Village, and retreated to the Kingdom of Wind.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Hidden Cloud Village had no choice but to leave the Land of Fire and return to the Land of Lightning.

This war, which had been fought for many years, from the young Qianyu to now when Qianyu was just 23 years old, has finally ended.

After the war, all the ninjas outside were summoned back to Konoha.

When Chiba brought Kakashi back to Konoha, the streets of Konoha were crowded with people celebrating the end of the war and the victory of the war.

This joyful atmosphere did not infect Chiba and Kakashi, who just looked coldly at the cheering people around them.

In the crowd, Chiba saw the person she wanted to see. Kakashi saw him too, and a smile appeared on his cold expression.

"Kushina."

"Teacher's wife."

Uzumaki Kushina looked at the two with a smile: "Welcome back."

Chiba, Kakashi, and Uzumaki Kushina returned home.

Uzumaki Kushina excitedly recounted what she saw and heard in the battle.

Uzumaki Kushina has participated in quite a few battles, but they were all small-scale battles. This is her first time participating in such a large battle, so for her, it will take a lot of effort.

The next day.

Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned all the people of Konoha to the Hokage Building.

The street below the Hokage Building was crowded with people.

And on the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mito Kado En, Orochimaru and Jiraiya stood on it, looking down at everyone below.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile did not stop as he announced, "This war that has lasted for nearly ten years has come to an end. We, Konoha, have achieved the final victory. This victory is the result of everyone's joint efforts. On behalf of Konoha, I thank everyone for their efforts!

Next, Konoha will hold a grand celebration ceremony to celebrate the fact that our efforts over the years have paid off and that we have achieved final victory!

Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire will never go out. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout!

I declare that Konoha's celebration ceremony officially begins!"

The streets erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.

But there was one group of people who seemed out of place.

The first to bear the brunt were Chiba and Kakashi, with expressionless faces.

The other group of people are the members of the Uchiha clan.

Originally, the Uchiha clan should have been the biggest contributor in this war.

However, due to the Uchiha's arrogance and brutality on the battlefield, and Chiyu's targeting in the later stages of the war, a large number of Uchiha ninjas died at the hands of Chiyu as he charged into battle, and that achievement was not counted as Uchiha's.

So much so that now there is a feeling that the Uchiha clan’s contribution in the war is not that great.

This made everyone in the Uchiha clan very dissatisfied.

And they all hated Qianyu very much.

Kakashi sneered, "Teacher, it seems like a lot of people hate you."

Qianyu naturally felt the looks from those Uchiha, and said indifferently: "It's just the incompetent rage of some incompetent guys."

Uzumaki Kushina was now immersed in this joyful atmosphere. When she heard what Kakashi and Chiba said, she asked in confusion, "Who are you talking about?"

Qianyu smiled and said, "They are just some insignificant people."

Just as everyone was celebrating, Qianyu heard a discussion nearby.

"Lord Orochimaru is truly amazing!"

"Yes, it can be said that Lord Orochimaru made the greatest contribution to this war!"

"Hokage-sama is very old and will probably abdicate soon. I think Orochimaru-sama should be the next Hokage."

"Definitely Lord Orochimaru. There is no one more suitable than Lord Orochimaru."

...

Kakashi exclaimed after hearing this: "Lord Orochimaru has a very high reputation and is highly respected in Konoha. I think the Fourth Hokage should be determined to be Lord Orochimaru."

Chiba looked at Orochimaru on the rooftop and said, "No, Orochimaru-sensei won't be the Hokage."

Kakashi was surprised and asked, "Teacher, how can you be so sure? Does the teacher think more highly of Jiraiya-sama?"

Chiba turned his gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen and replied, "Because of factions."

Kakashi frowned, "Faction? But isn't Lord Orochimaru from the same faction as the Hokage?"

Qianyu shook his head and said, "Teacher Orochimaru once worked in the Root, and now his position is also in the Root's files. Strictly speaking, Teacher Orochimaru is not from the Hokage family, and..."

Qianyu didn’t say anything next.

Because of Orochimaru's abnormality, Sarutobi Hiruzen must have felt it more or less now.

Chiba and Kakashi felt very bored with this celebration ceremony, so not long after it started, they went back home with Uzumaki Kushina.

Uzumaki Kushina held the recipe in her hand, humming happily as she figured out what to cook tonight.

Uzumaki Kushina was in a very good mood because the war was over and Chiba wouldn't be so busy anymore and could be with her more often.

Every time Chiba went to the battlefield, Uzumaki Kushina was worried every day.

Now I don’t have to worry about Qianyu’s safety every day.
