Chapter 98: Sarutobi Hiruzen's Regret

"It's time to end this war."

Looking at the few people of the Hyuga clan and the hatred in their eyes towards the Heavenly Ninjas, the Fourth Mizukage nodded with satisfaction.

Although this war ended with the defeat of their Hidden Mist Village, it was not unacceptable to him.

At the very least, many of the troublemakers in the village were eliminated, and that was done with the help of other people.

In this way, I will be able to better control the village, and the village will develop in a better direction under my leadership.

After fighting with Shisui and Hatake Sakumo for several rounds, he pretended to be seriously injured, began to gather his subordinates, and retreated towards the ships on the coast.

Looking at the retreating Mist Ninjas, Hatake Sakumo led the Sky Ninjas, symbolically chased them twice, then stood on the shore, watching the Mist Ninjas slowly leave.

They didn't know if there were any Mist Ninja ambushes in the sea. After all, as one of the five major ninja villages, sending out only such a small number of people was really not in line with the characteristics of a major ninja village.

It is common sense that there are a large number of ninjas in the five major ninja villages, but this time, among the enemies of the Hidden Mist Village, it seems that only the Kaguya clan appeared. The famous Kizuna clan and the Yuki clan were not seen. This is not normal.

Especially the Kizuna clan, their secret technique of turning water into water is well-known in the entire ninja world.

And as the Mizukage's loyal subordinates, it is impossible that none of them came.

So the truth is, the Kizuna clan, who are good at the secret art of water transformation, and the Snow clan, who are good at ice escape, are very likely lying in ambush at sea.

After all, the environment there is more conducive to what they are good at.

Therefore, Hatake Sakumo stopped some of the higher-level ninjas.

Moreover, this battle was already a big victory for the Hidden Sky Village. The Hidden Mist Village, however, had real Kages and the Kaguya clan, which had a strong reputation in the ninja world, come to participate in the battle.

The number of people in the Tengakure Village is still too small. Compared to the five major villages that can easily send thousands of ninjas to participate in the battle, they can only send hundreds of ninjas each time, which is still too few.

If the number of enemies was slightly larger, even if they won, Tianyin Village would suffer heavy losses.

Of course, this does not include the situation where Lu Lin sends all the combat forces under his command to fight.

But if that time comes, even if the five major ninja villages do not intend to take action against the Tengakure Village, it will be unlikely.

There are too many high-end combat forces, but they cannot crush the combined forces of the five major villages. In order to be on the safe side and prevent Tianyin Village from riding on their heads, they will naturally attack together.

Just like in the original work, if Akatsuki had not been prepared for everything and had not stirred up conflicts between the five major ninja villages, they would not dare to walk in the open in the ninja world.

It is because they do have a lot of top-notch warriors, but they cannot crush the five major ninja villages combined, so they have to live in the dark.

However, the Tea Kingdom is already in the open of the ninja world, and Lu Lin can only hope to hide for a while longer. As long as he can completely digest the three cards he has, he will be able to stop it even if the five major ninja villages attack together.

The Asuras and Indras from the previous generation have both grown old and died, and the new generation, well... their tadpoles probably haven't even appeared yet.

. . . . . .

With the defeat of the Hidden Mist Village, some information about the Hidden Mist Village in this war also appeared in the ninja world.

What shocked people most was the news that the famous Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, was still alive.

Other villages thought that this was another scheme of Konoha. They wanted to expand their territory, so they let Hatake Sakumo fake his death, and let Uchiha Rurin pretend to defect from the village, and then occupy the Tea Kingdom.

As a result, the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Wind Village, and the Hidden Earth Village all dispatched their respective troops and headed towards the Fire Country.

However, since the main forces of the Hidden Cloud Village are mostly on the battlefield in the Land of Earth, and the large forces of the Hidden Earth Village are also resisting the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, the actual combat power sent by these two villages is not much.

On the contrary, the Hidden Wind Village, which lost the Third Kazekage, put most of their combat power on the battlefield with Konoha.

They suspected that their Kage was killed by Konoha.

Konoha is playing a big game!

And at the center of this vortex, Konoha Village was naturally not feeling well either.

How could they know that Hatake Sakumo was not dead? Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect that the always honest and kind Hatake Sakumo would choose to fake his death and leave the village because of some rumors.

He even deceived his own son!

Suddenly, a subordinate came to report that Hatake Kakashi had left Konoha a day ago on a mission to leave the village.

After the Third Hokage received the news, he almost popped his eyes out. Could it be that Kakashi Hatake already knew that his father was not dead, and did not leave Konoha just for some other purpose?

He couldn't help but think of Lu Lin again. It seemed that Lu Lin was involved behind all this.

Such an outstanding general like Hatake Sakumo, who was good at commanding wars and had extremely strong individual strength, was given to Lu Lin like this. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

If Hatake Sakumo were still in the village, he wouldn't be so troubled by the war now.

Moreover, the news he received seemed to have the shadow of the Uchiha clan...

A child named Uchiha Shisui awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and was able to summon Susanoo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Lu Lin already had some Uchiha clan members under his command, but he didn't expect that he would have such talented subordinates.

"What on earth is Fugaku doing? Their tribe actually let Lu Lin take people away so easily!"

He was very dissatisfied. If Shisui was still in the village, wouldn't the village's strength be able to reach a higher level?

He already knew that Shisui was the descendant of his old friend, Uchiha Kagami.

It's just that his old friend died too early, and Shisui had no one to teach him, so he could only be bewitched by Uchiha Lulin, the damn traitor ninja.

He now regretted more and more that he could not keep Lu Lin in the village. Now, seeing that others were doing better and better, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt even more heartbroken.

What's more troublesome is that the village chief was charged with false charges and was besieged by other villages, which made him even more miserable.

While he was thinking, the door of his office was kicked open and Danzo walked in with a gloomy face:

"Look, look, Hiruzen, if it weren't for your indecision back then, how could Lu Lin be so successful out there?!"
