Chapter 61 The end of the three battles

"Good news, the third Raikage died in battle."

On this day, the news of the death of the Third Raikage suddenly spread throughout the ninja world.

"It looks like this war is about to end."

When Satoru heard the news, he had already guessed that the Third Ninja War was about to end.

In order to buy time for the Kumo ninja to retreat, the Third Raikage directly faced 10,000 Iwa ninjas alone. Although the Third Raikage died in the battle, the Iwa ninja must have suffered heavy losses.

The Cloud Ninja Village, which lost the Third Raikage, definitely didn't want this war to continue. The Iwa Ninjas also suffered a lot of losses, and they didn't want this war to continue.

The Mist Ninja Village also lost seven people with ninja swords. Now those seven ninja swords are still in the Leaf Village, and the Mist Ninjas have not redeemed them yet.

When the time comes that they want to redeem their Ninja Swords again, they will definitely pay a huge price to Konoha.

Although the Sand Ninja did not lose anything in this battle, you must know that the trigger of the third war was the disappearance of the third Kazekage.

To say that the only one who did not suffer much loss this time was the Leaf Village. Although many ninjas died, they were all a group of chuunin and genin. Only a few jounin died, and even more kage-level ones. There is none.

And there are many ninjas in Konoha who became famous in this battle, such as Hatake Satoru's title of White Devil, and Namikaze Minato's title of Yellow Flash.

It can be said that Konoha has benefited the most from this war, whether it is fame or fortune.

The compensation that the Mist Ninja Village wanted to redeem the seven ninja swords alone was enough to completely make up for Konoha's losses in this war. Finally, there was a chance for the lion to open its mouth. It would be strange if it didn't open its mouth wider.

At this time, the fighting friction between the various borders has begun to gradually decrease, and it is estimated that the limit of a major battle that can break out is already reached.

But at least now there won't be too fierce a war at the border of the Mist Ninja Village where Wu is sitting. Originally, the Mist Ninja Village didn't send a large force to participate in the war. It just wanted to get a share of the battle, but I didn't expect it. Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were inside.

If the Mist Ninja Village lacks the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the overall combat power of the Mist Ninja Village will definitely drop by several levels.

At this time, several months have passed, and Satoru is now twelve years old. Snowflakes are slowly falling in the sky that day, and Satoru and the others' troops suddenly receive an order to return to the village.

At this moment, everyone burst into cheers because they knew that the war was over and they finally no longer had to worry about the front line.

As soon as they returned to the village, they discovered that all the villagers in the village had organized themselves and lined up at the entrance of the village to welcome them. The moment they walked into the village, the villagers burst into loud cheers. .

In the crowd, Satoru also saw his father. It seemed that he was getting along very well with Uncle Ichiraku next to him.

Hatake Sakumo's eyes looked at Satoru, full of warmth and a hint of relief.

He now feels that his eldest son has completely grown up.

"Well done, Satoru."

Hatake Sakumo moved his lips gently, and Satoru also understood what Sakumo wanted to express.

What responded to him was Satoru's confident smile.

"You guys go back first, I'll report the situation to Mr. Hokage."

Satoru said to the ninja behind him.

"Yes, Captain Hatake, I must treat Captain Hatake to a meal someday to celebrate that we can come back alive."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Hatake Satoru did not shirk. He had been getting along with these ninjas for about two years, and naturally they all developed feelings for each other. They could be brothers, comrades, or friends.

Although Satoru is younger than them, they have already regarded him as a peer or even an elder, because Satoru is their benefactor.

"Hokage-sama, I'm back."

Satoru knocked on the door of the Hokage's office and walked in directly.

"Thank you for your hard work. I have already heard about what happened to you on the front line. It turns out that you are a tiger with no son. If Sakumo is alive in heaven, he will definitely feel happy for you."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your compliment."

"I saw that the villagers welcome you. I hope you will always remember the will of fire and don't disappoint those who believe in you."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"Wait for the people from other battlefields to come back and hold a commendation meeting for you. When the time comes, if you want any reward, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Later, Satoru told the Third Hokage some details of the past two years, and the Third Hokage nodded frequently. When he heard about the attack, the Third Hokage would also clenched his fists nervously.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"good."

Just when Satoru was about to leave, the Third Hokage suddenly stopped him.

"etc."

"What's wrong, Hokage-sama?"

"What level of strength has you reached now?"

The Third Hokage directly asked a question that he had always had in his heart. When he learned that Satoru had escaped unscathed in Ai's hands and killed five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, this question had been lingering in his mind. Heartbroken.

"At least I won't lose when facing you, Hokage-sama."

Satoru said confidently, even if he faced the Third Hokage, he still looked confident when faced with questions about his own strength.

The strength he has now is the confidence he has to deal with all problems.

"It seems that White Fang really has a successor. From now on, the village will be in the hands of young people like you, and I will feel relieved."

The Third Hokage did not feel that Satoru was lying, because when Satoru said those words, the Third Hokage felt a strong pressure in his heart. This pressure did not come from the strong chakra of the other party, because the other party's He didn't have as much chakra as him, but it was a kind of psychological pressure.

The Third Hokage also knows that when this war is completely over, he will also step down from the position of Hokage, because no matter what, leaders like them will always have to pay some price for the village for the losses caused by the war. of.

At this price, he resigned as Hokage and became the Fourth Hokage.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen has already had his own thoughts in his heart. Even if he really doesn't want to be Hokage, he still has to hold at least half of the power.

So he must find someone who is relatively easy to control.

"What are you talking about, Hokage-sama? The village needs people of your generation. I feel that Hokage-sama should be able to reign for another twelve years."

"Twelve years, hahaha, that would really cost me my life."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, he was still happy to hear such compliments from others.
