Judging from the actions of the five major countries , everyone can realize that the Ninja World War has really come to an end. Now even the Hidden Cloud Village has begun to withdraw its tentacles from the direction of the Land of Grass...Originally this was Konoha's request, but because of recent events, they no longer have any reason to pay attention to this request.
Even just to prevent Konoha from suddenly cutting off their supply lines, Kumogakure needs to stop.
The deaths of the Second-generation Mizukage and the Second-generation Tsuchikage are the most explosive "breaking news" in the entire ninja world right now. At this time, even the Sand Village, which was the last to realize it, has already learned about it...Iwagakure and Kirigakure are the "parties" involved in the battle of the two shadows. Konoha has a reconnaissance team following them, and Kumogakure has a spy in Konoha's reconnaissance team, so they can all be considered witnesses of that "love-hate" battle.
In just one night, Sunagakure was a little confused as to why the whole world suddenly stopped playing with it.
The current situation is that among the five major ninja villages, Sand Village, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure have all lost their shadows, and the three villages are under high-level trusteeship, so even if we only talk about the lack of commanders, how can the war continue?
It was also because of the extreme one-for-one exchange behavior of the bosses of the two villages that the Frostfield War that broke out between Konoha and Kumogakure was concealed to a considerable extent. After all, there is still a certain gap in the impact between the temporary death of a tailed beast and the complete defeat of two Kages.
If it weren't for the help of those two gentlemen, whether from a good perspective or a bad perspective, Hanyu would have already become a famous figure in the ninja world... Becoming a celebrity in the whole world is a result that Hanyu does not want for the time being, so he has to thank the two Kage for their selfless dedication.
Now he is only a celebrity in Konoha and Kumogakure, which is barely acceptable.
Well, actually it's not quite right to say thank you. After all, if Hanyu hadn't been following the Second Mizukage, he wouldn't have encountered such a thing.
There were no problems with the review process for Hanyu's promotion to jonin, so he smoothly became a Konoha jonin. Twenty days after regaining consciousness, he no longer needed to stay in the hospital.
Including the time he was in a coma, he was hospitalized for nearly two months. At first glance, this seems like a long time, but compared to having to stay in the hospital for a week due to overuse of the eyes and brain, Hanyu has actually helped Konoha Hospital save beds.
However, being discharged from the hospital does not mean that Hanyu's body has recovered. His body mass was violently evaporated, and it is not so easy to recover. Just messing with your body and then recovering quickly? There is no such a cheap thing in the world.
According to the opinions given by experts, it will take at least half a year for Hanyu to recover to a basically normal state, and if he wants to recover completely... he can only treat it slowly like treating an old stomach disease, and then see the results.
So, cheating may feel good for a while, but it can also lead to disaster. From now on, Hanyu knows that cheating must be... controlled.
Hanyu left the hospital and returned home, but he never received the response he wanted. In addition, the war was over and he needed to recuperate, so he became a little idle.
The Third Hokage seems to have not left the village yet, so who knows when the peace agreement can be signed?
What Hanyu didn't know was that the Third Hokage was about to leave the village, and his trip was only scheduled for these few days. Moreover, before he left, the Hokage even came to his house.
He has something to tell Hanyu.
That evening, Hanyu, who had nothing to do, was looking at the stars by the bed. Of course, compared to the stars in the sky, their reflections in the river were actually more beautiful, especially when they were stepped on by the scallion-white little feet, so... Hanyu always looked at the stars with his head down.
In the hot spring street, no matter what the season is, the temperature of the hot springs is always refreshing.
The "magnificent and majestic" night scene is truly a feast for the eyes.
Appreciation, just pure appreciation, after all, all of this is worth appreciating.
But at this moment, the voice of the Third Hokage suddenly sounded in Hanyu's ears, "Hanyu, I heard that you have completed the procedures for promotion to Jonin?"
"…"
"Hokage, why... do you suddenly appear here?" Hanyu was startled for a moment.
Why are you like a ghost... Actually, Hanyu wants to say this now.
"I have something to tell you." The Third Hokage said to Hanyu with his back to him, while standing on the eaves of the next floor and leaning against the wall.
The Third Hokage is still young after all, and when he gets older, he will definitely feel that such an action would be disrespectful. Look, the Hokage also likes to see the scenery, but I don't know which one he likes the most.
"Is it about the report I submitted?" Hanyu asked.
"No, I have read your report, it is very well written, but it is only in my hands for now and has not been shown to anyone else… I will give priority to this matter when I return to the village.
For the peace treaty, I will leave the village soon, but before I leave, I have a mission for you... You are already a Jonin, right? And you don't look to be in any serious condition." said the Third Hokage.
When Hanyu heard this, he thought it was some important task, so he immediately corrected his attitude.
"Don't be too nervous, it's not a dangerous mission... It's like this, do you know the Valley of the End?"
"I've heard that this is the place where the first Hokage and the then Uchiha clan leader had a great battle."
Of course Hanyu knew about the Valley of the End, but he didn't understand why the Third Hokage would mention it at this time.
"It's Uchiha Madara... It's like this. During the Second Hokage's time, the village had a plan to carve huge statues of the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara in the Valley of the End to commemorate the great war. On the one hand, it was to highlight the First Hokage's great achievements, and on the other hand, it was also a disguised way of recognizing the Uchiha and calming the hearts of the Uchiha people.
But because of the Ninja World War, this plan has never been implemented."
Putting the leader who defected and was shot dead there as a target, was this to calm the Uchiha people? Or was it to remind the clan to be more honest? Why does it feel like if the second generation made this decision, the latter possibility is much higher?
"But now that the war is over, this matter has been put back on the agenda, and I am going to send you to take charge of it."
Hanyu thought about it and thought that instead of staying at home all the time, he might as well do something, so he asked, "Is there a special fund?"
He is very good at grasping the key points.
"Yes, there is plenty."
Of course the Third Hokage would give money.
"That's good."
Hanyu turned his gaze to the distance that was invisible in the night, and then continued to say to the Third Hokage, "Hokage-sama, you admire the First and Second Hokage very much, so will you feel good to be on the same level with them?"
This made the Third Hokage's face turn red, which was rare. "As expected of Hanyu, you are very smart. It seems that I have been exposed."
What's so clever about this? Why didn't the Third Hokage find a reason to erect a statue of the First Hokage? How could he have the nerve to carve his own Kage behind the Second Hokage when everything was in ruins?
Erecting statues and carving shadow rocks are both the same vanity projects.
However, although Hanyu saw through something, he still didn't understand the Third Hokage's other intention in asking him to take charge of this task... The Hokage wanted to throw Hanyu out when he left the village, so that at least he would have something to do, otherwise, who knows what else he would think about.
As for which of these two intentions is the main one and which is incidental, it is hard to say. Anyway, now we can kill two birds with one stone, which is just right.
