Chapter 87 The Armistice with Iwagakure
After successfully destroying the Kannabi Bridge, the people who joined Minato began to retreat. With Minato as a powerful thug along the way, he didn't have to be as careful as he had come, he could just kill any enemies he encountered. Soon, several people retreated to the area controlled by Konoha
When returning, Ryūha glanced at Minato suspiciously. In the original work, when Minato met Kakashi and the others, Kakashi and the others were surrounded by a large number of Iwagakure ninjas. Counting the time, Minato seemed to be late this time. Perhaps it was because Kusakure Village joined the war that the pressure on the front lines increased.
Minato also learned the details of this mission from Kakashi. Knowing that they had sneaked into the vicinity of Kannabi Bridge without any danger due to Liu Yu's reclusive perception. It was also known that they had met members of the Ura clan during this mission. Only then did Minato understand the reason for the abnormality when he saw Ryūha before.
I had heard before that when Kusagakure was performing missions on the Kusano Country front, he would often brutally kill the ninjas of Iwagakure and Kusagakure who fell into his hands. Minato glanced at Riuha worriedly, hoping that the child wouldn't be blinded by hatred.
After returning to the Konoha camp, Haiichi greeted him. When he saw Minato's affirmative look, Haiyi couldn't help laughing loudly, and while laughing, he said something like, 'The overall situation has been decided'.
In the next few days, Iwagakure and Kusagakure began to go crazy, perhaps because their supplies were cut off. Attacks were launched one after another on the front line, and the scale became stronger each time. Facing the crazy attacks of Iwagakure and Kusagakure, Konoha seemed a little weak for a moment.
Faced with successive waves of attacks from Iwagakure and Kusagakure, news began to spread within Konoha: "Iwagakure Village's supply line has been destroyed by Minato-sama's leadership, and Iwagakure Village will soon be unable to sustain itself." , now is just their last madness, the victory of this war must belong to Konoha."
As soon as this news came out, the morale of Konoha increased greatly, and they stubbornly blocked the joint attack of Iwagakure and Kusagakure. It was difficult for Kusagakure and Iwagakure's offensive to make progress.
Soon, problems arose due to the destruction of supply lines. Due to lack of supplies, the subsequent offensives launched by Iwagakure and Kusagakure became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped.
Under such circumstances, the old man Onoki also knew that this war could not be fought. But he didn't want to admit defeat yet. He still clearly remembered the shame that Konoha left him. The Iwagakure ninjas still maintained a confrontation with Konoha on the front line of the Land of Grass, refusing to send envoys to Konoha to conclude a peace treaty.
In the end, Konoha was defeated in this competition that tested the endurance of both sides. Under the instruction of the Third Hokage, Konoha's envoy set out for Iwagakure to seek peace.
I don’t know what the envoys sent talked about. In the end, the Iwagakure ninja took the lead in retreating from the Country of Grass.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Kusakakumura, another protagonist of the war, quickly sent an envoy to Konoha to seek peace. It is said that the last time he joined the war with Konoha, he was completely forced by Iwagakure Village. The top management of Kusugakure Village is also peace-loving. They dare not mention anything about the destruction caused by the war between all parties within their own territory.
Because Konoha was extremely weak at the moment, and there were still remaining Kirigakure villages to deal with, Konoha's top brass ultimately did not hold Kusagakure responsible.
Finally, after the two forces of Iwagakure and Kusagakure were resolved, the ninjas of Konoha also began to evacuate the Country of Grass.
"It's over!" Liu Yu sighed as he looked back at the Kingdom of Grass getting farther and farther behind him.
Liu Yu had no nostalgia for the country where he was born, only hatred. I just don’t know when I will come here next time, and I don’t know when I will have a chance to take revenge.
The Kingdom of Yu, the Kingdom of the Moon, the Kingdom of Grass, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kusagakure. I have experienced many battles.
However, the end of the war this time left Liu Yu with a strange feeling. It had nothing to do with the two enemies she killed personally during this war, but because she changed the trajectory in the original work and saved Obito.
It can be said that the development of the Naruto world is likely to change because of this small incident.
Soon, Konoha's ninja army returned to Konoha. Before they even approached the gate, they saw the surging cheering crowd in the distance.
When Namikaze Minato stepped into the gate of Konoha first, cheers shook the whole village, and the villagers came to welcome their hero.
The senior officials of Konoha stood at the front of the welcoming team. Seeing Namikaze Minato responding to the surrounding villagers with a smile on his face, the Third Hokage couldn't help but smile.
Namikaze Minato defeated two major enemies, Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and his reputation within the village had reached its peak. News happened to spread in the village that the third Hokage intended to abdicate. Suddenly, the call for Namikaze Minato to succeed the fourth generation became louder and louder.
Asuma and others in the team also smiled in response to the surrounding villagers who cheered for them. Seeing the proud faces of the surrounding villagers, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile. This is a village worth protecting.
Konoha's propaganda to the village was that they had won the war, and what led them to victory was Konoha's yellow flash.
As everyone knows, at the same time, a grand welcome ceremony was also held inside Yanyin Village. After Onoki loudly announced from the high platform that they had won the war, the enthusiasm of the villagers in Iwagakure below was directly detonated.
But Ryūha knew that although Konoha successfully forced Iwagakure to withdraw its troops, it actually lost this war. In this contract, Konoha actually made huge concessions before Iwagakure agreed to sign it. Therefore, Iwagakure Village's propaganda that they won the war is correct. However, Konoha also used this to achieve its own strategic purpose. It is not wrong to call it a victory.
This is the case with war and politics. Whether it is a true victory or not is no longer important in the overall interests.
However, Shimura Danzo seemed very dissatisfied with the signing of this contract. In his opinion, this is not a victory. What is the difference between signing such a treaty after a victory and defeat?
Under the pressure of the top management headed by Ichidanzo, and in order to be responsible for the Konoha ninjas who died in the war, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen voluntarily resigned from the position of Hokage.
Regarding the selection of the Fourth Hokage, Danzo proposed Orochimaru, but was denied by the Third Hokage Sarutobi. The third generation turned to Minato Namikaze, the successor he had chosen long ago, on the grounds of his outstanding performance in the Third Ninja War and the recognition of the villagers.
In the end, after obtaining the unanimous consent of the Daimyos of the Fire Country, Minato successfully became the fourth Hokage of the Konoha Ninja Village in the Fire Country.
