Chapter 431 431 Bitter Naruto
Konoha White Fang died, committing suicide in his own home.
Before his death, he left behind a "Letter of Responsibility", placing all the blame for Konoha's current cession of territory and peace on himself.
In this way, there is no need to hold Tomokazu Senju, the minister of the Fire Nation, accountable.
However, White Fang also lost the title of "hero" and the treatment of a state funeral.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was on the battlefield on the eastern front, heard about this incident. He was extremely shocked at first, and then fell silent soon after.
After a long while, he managed to say something, "Is Zuo Yun gone..."
Danzo sneered from the side: "In this case, your position as the Fourth Hokage will be undisputed, Hiruzen."
If Hiruzen Sarutobi takes the position of Hokage, he must be a deputy-level figure.
In order to help his old friend sit in this position, Danzo took great pains.
Hatake Saun's funeral seemed extremely simple.
It was Senju Tomokazu who sent people down to carry out his funeral.
Mrs. Hatake, who was crying, and Kakashi, who was only 7 years old and was completely shocked and could not speak a word.
Apart from this, the only people present at the funeral were Uchiha, Senju and a few representatives from various clans.
Sarutobi and Shimura didn't send anyone at all.
The faces of the family ninjas who attended the funeral were extremely sad.
They knew that now Tsunade resigned as a ninja and White Fang died.
The candidate to take the position of the Fourth Hokage has basically been determined.
It was actually the person they least expected.
After Hatake Saun's funeral, both the Senju and Hatake families.
They all went to Tsunade immediately, hoping that she would resume her duties as a ninja and find a way to take over the position of the Fourth Hokage.
Even Uchiha is no exception!
Very simple.
When Uchiha Senna was in power, the Sarutobi and Shimura clans were the two clans who dared to disobey Uchiha Senna, but they were beaten to death by the powerful clans who supported Uchiha Senna.
Their treatment is not much better than that of civilian ninjas.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi becomes the Fourth Hokage, will they still have a good life?
And Tsunade is still Izuna's disciple no matter what.
Even if she becomes Hokage, she won't be that kind to Uchiha, at least she won't take revenge, right?
Unfortunately, Tsunade refused these people's requests without even thinking about it.
She's had enough of this!
As for the civilian ninjas and villagers of Konoha, they regretted and laughed at White Fang's death, but they just didn't feel guilty.
They didn't realize at all that they had made any mistakes, and they didn't feel that Hatake Sagumo's death had caused any loss to them.
But what's more serious is that Konoha lost a strong man at the peak of the shadow level.
Nowadays, Tsunade no longer cares about Konoha's affairs.
In the entire Konoha, there are four strong Kage level warriors: Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Shimura Danzo.
It does seem like a lot.
However, there is a lack of representative powerhouses that can shock everyone.
What is the most pleasing thing about war that makes the enemy happy?
Nothing is more confusing than the opponent's self-disposition!
Now that Kumogakure has reached a truce, Iwagakure and Sunagakure have just shown signs of retreat when they hear that White Fang is dead.
For a time, the military morale was high!
White Fang is dead. In this era, the deterrent power of "Senju Hashirama is dead" and "Uchiha Izuna is dead" is not much worse.
Especially Sunagakure.
Sunagakure was most afraid of White Fang.
As soon as they heard that White Fang was dead, the puppet troops headed by Chiyo began a frantic attack on the western border of the Land of Fire.
Danzo was not worried about this situation at first.
Konoha can still afford it, and this is all thanks to the excellent foundation that the "Three Heroes of the Warring States Period" laid for Konoha.
But the situation immediately exceeded Danzo's expectations.
The Kingdom of Thunder, which had just concluded a truce, launched a crazy attack on the Kingdom of Moon, which was an ally of Konoha.
The newly appointed Fourth Raikage Ai played this skill beautifully.
We signed a truce agreement. If we don't fight Konoha, then we will fight your allies!
The Moon Country asks the Fire Country for help.
Normally, White Fang would have been sent out to rescue him.
But White Fang is dead now!
When the situation was extremely urgent, Minato Namikaze stepped forward and expressed his willingness to go to the northern battlefield to support the Kingdom of the Moon.
Seeing the young man's awe-inspiring righteousness, Sarutobi Hiruzen also agreed.
More importantly, Konoha can't spare anyone else now.
As for the Kingdom of Water, they did not make any changes to their truce conditions because of Hatake Sagumo's death.
Return the Vulpix.
Huge amounts of war reparations.
As well as the land in the southern coastal areas, bring it all to me, no less.
But now, Konoha no longer has the strength to dare to challenge Kirigakure.
The Kingdom of Thunder, which had already had a truce, now took advantage of the truce agreement and launched an attack on their allies.
This kind of hooliganism made the Konoha ninjas angry and helpless.
He can only go to war with Kumogakure again.
The death of White Fang also stimulated Iwagakure and Sunagakure to launch an even more ferocious attack on Konoha.
The powerful Kirigakure Village is unstoppable under the leadership of the Third Mizukage.
You must never fight Kirigakure again at this time.
After several unsuccessful peace talks, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to sign the truce agreement to cede territory and seek peace.
This time, I learned a lesson from Yunyin Village.
The truce agreement added "no action against the Moon Country and Tang Country, which are allies of the Fire Country."
After the agreement was signed, Kirigakure also complied with the agreement and returned the captured Koharu, Mito Monobu and the hundreds of ninjas from the Kaguya clan.
And Sarutobi Hiruzen also keenly discovered that the returning Kaguya clan looked at him and others in a very strange way.
Who would have thought that the Third Ninja World War would finally come to an end, but because of Hatake Sagumo's death, the flames that were about to go out would rekindle into a raging fire.
"It's such a pity. Now that Sagumo Hatake is dead, I'm itching to get a piece of the pie. I feel like I can grab a little more."
After the meeting, Ghost Light Lengyue, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, sneered.
Although he lowered his voice, everyone present was a ninja, so how could he not hear his voice?
For a moment, the faces of everyone on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side were extremely gloomy.
"The glory created by the Three Heroes of the Warring States Period has gone forever."
The Third Mizukage stood up and said indifferently: "Konoha will only become weaker and weaker now. I have already got what I want, so there is no need to continue fighting."
"Goodbye, Yondaime Hokage."
After leaving these words to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Mizukage took Konan, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and other Kirigakure ninjas and left without looking back.
The Fourth Hokage.
This existence, which was originally the dream of Sarutobi Hiruzen, now comes from the mouth of the Third Mizukage, but there is an inexplicable sense of irony and bitterness.
