Chapter 97: Konoha loses the first battle, a new semester
When Liuyun heard Uzumaki Mito question whether he had deliberately approached Kushina, his face immediately turned gloomy.
"Grandma Mito, what are you talking about?" Kushina finally couldn't help but speak out.
The topic has shifted to her. She didn't understand what was said before, so she didn't dare to say anything. Now that the atmosphere and the questions are not right, she feels that if she doesn't speak up, something big will happen...
"I know a lot, and I am happy to tell you, all for Kushina's sake, but that doesn't mean you can use it to make malicious assumptions about me..."
Liuyun looked at her calmly, but his voice sounded a little cold.
Upon hearing this, Kushina stood up immediately. Although her brain was not very sharp, she could still understand some of the hidden meaning.
"Grandma Mito, Liuyun is not the kind of person with ulterior motives, and it is even more impossible that he has ill intentions towards me. I took the initiative to approach him. You must have misunderstood him..."
The two people's words made Uzumaki Mito visibly stunned, and then she lowered her head with a look of regret:
"I'm sorry... kid, I shouldn't have doubted you!"
As Uzumaki Mito spoke, tears fell unconsciously again. Kushina was heartbroken by this scene and hurried forward to comfort her.
Logically speaking, Liuyun didn't have to tell her so much. He was willing to explain so much to her out of kindness. He also gave her a kind reminder in advance about the matter of Shengshu.
You are willing to say it even though you know it will arouse suspicion. Is there any need to doubt whether this child is good or bad?
Hasn’t she researched the origin and background clearly enough?
So what if he knew a lot of secrets and intelligence? He obviously hoped that Nawaki could survive, and he really liked Kushina.
Aren’t these points enough to gain trust?
Thinking of this, Uzumaki Mito felt too ashamed to face Liuyun again.
She lowered her head and kept apologizing. Liuyun waved his hands helplessly:
"It's okay, you just care too much about Kushina... I understand."
He did not blame the old man who had an unfortunate old age. It was already remarkable that he could keep his emotions under control in the face of the pain of losing his grandson.
What's more, he was indeed suspicious in the first place.
"Grandma Mito, please take care of yourself... Just think of it as... for Kushina."
Liuyun said something meaningful, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, it's raining so hard, don't leave in such a hurry..." Kushina strode forward and hugged his arm.
"My clothes are already wet, so I'm not afraid of getting wet in the rain... You take good care of Grandma Mito... I'm leaving first."
Liuyun smiled and touched her head, then walked straight into the heavy rain.
Kushina looked at his back with a worried look on her face.
After standing there in a daze for a long time, she returned to Uzumaki Mito's side.
The battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain.
After a brutal and bloody battle, both countries suffered staggering casualties.
The three ninjas used their full strength for the first time, and they used large summoned beasts at the beginning, killing the Rain Country ninjas in an instant...
Later, Hanzo of the Salamander joined the battle. For the first time, the three ninjas witnessed the terrifying power of the peak "demigod". The three suffered the first major defeat in their lives and almost died in the battlefield of Rain Country.
The poison of Hanzo of the Salamander was too powerful. The Konoha ninjas fell down in large numbers in the poisonous fog. Seeing that the situation was too bad, the three ninjas had no choice but to retreat.
Even if they want to avenge their brother, they have to consider the life and death of their companions. If they cannot find a way to control the poisonous fog, all three of them will be in danger of death, not to mention the other ninjas.
In the first round of the war between the Fire and Rain Nations, the Hidden Rain Village led by Hanzo won, a result that was beyond the expectations of the ninja world.
Several major countries began to re-evaluate Konoha's combat power. This powerful ninja village, known as the "strongest in the ninja world", did not seem to be invincible...
The failure of the Fire Country directly led to a series of disastrous consequences. The major powers began to look down on Konoha. They all thought that the Konoha Ninja Village was a so-called "paper tiger", and it was the kind that would break with a single poke...
Why do they own the most fertile land in the entire ninja world?
Why do they have the most resources?
Why can their descendants live in the most livable environment?
Once this kind of concept and dissatisfaction arises, if you want to change it, you will have to pay the price of blood...
Konoha's defeat in the first round of the Second Ninja World War could even be said to have indirectly affected the subsequent Third Ninja World War, as everyone wanted to take a big bite of the "big fat meat" of the Fire Country.
Seeing that they could not attack directly and suffered heavy casualties, the Konohagakure adopted a conservative and steady approach. After a high-level decision, the war mode was changed, and the Fire Nation began to compete with the Rain Nation in comprehensive national strength.
Blocking the economy, cutting off trade, assassinating and harassing, sabotaging behind enemy lines... The Fire Nation took the initiative to drag the Rain Nation into the quagmire of war, and its intention to fight a protracted war was very obvious.
Salamander Hanzo could see this, but he had no way to solve the fundamental problem.
The Fire Rain War has been in full swing for more than a month, and the Konoha Ninja School has also ushered in a new semester.
Since we are currently in a period of war, Konoha has decided to shorten the teaching curriculum for sixth-grade students. Freshmen of Liuyun's age will have heavier learning tasks, and the speed of graduation will also be greatly accelerated.
The moment Liuyun accompanied Kushina into the ninja school, the group of Uchiha disciples coming towards them instantly aroused his vigilance.
“Mr. Liuyun!
“Brother Liuyun!!”
"Brother Zamao!!!"
Most of the Uchiha disciples in the ninja school bowed to him.
It felt like a gangster's little brother meeting a gangster boss... Liuyun was speechless for a moment.
Liuyun is now very famous among the younger generation. Many people in the family are saying that he has incredible strength and that he even defeated the genius Chunin Uchiha Fugaku with his own hands.
The previous battle was strictly kept secret by Uchiha Fugaku, and a senior ninja even came in person to ask Uchiha Qingmang and Uchiha Qianye not to leak the secret.
Unfortunately, despite all his precautions, Uchiha Fugaku still couldn't prevent the backstab of his 'big-mouthed little brother' Uchiha Kazuhiko...
As a result, many people knew the result of that battle, which is why on the first day of school, a group of Uchiha kids came over and called him "big brother"...
In the eyes of children, whoever is stronger is the big brother, and whoever is powerful will be respected by them.
Zamao Ge became the object of worship for the ordinary Uchiha disciples. They dreamed that one day they could become as outstanding as Liuyun and trample those high-ranking and powerful disciples under their feet...
"If you have nothing else to do, just go away... Go do what you need to do, don't gather around me in a group, and don't try to follow me..."
Liuyun felt that these Uchiha brats were really annoying.
Unfortunately, his idea could not be implemented, and the first person to openly oppose him was the one closest to him... Uzumaki Kushina!
"I'm telling you, Liuyun is my little brother. If any of you are willing to be my little brother, just let me know. If you meet me, call me Big Sister, and I'll consider protecting you..."
As Kushina's voice fell, many Uchiha disciples were overjoyed.
"I do!!!"
"I I I..."
"Big sister, from now on I am yours..."
Thus, the first female school bully in the history of Ninja School... was born!
