Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 553 The most correct choice
from start to finish.

This battle lasted less than half a day.

The final curtain fell with the complete victory of the Hidden Leaf Village. The casualties paid by both sides were not particularly heavy. The number of deaths was controlled within a certain range. The main reason was that Menma was efficient enough in defeating the brothers Hashirama and Tobirama. The two previous Hokage who their side relied on for support were defeated. This was a devastating blow to the morale of the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village.

You must know that before this, the appearance of Nara Shikaku had already caused great shakes to Konoha.

Even though Mito Kado En brought the most elite Anbu team to kill Shikaku in an attempt to keep the adverse effects to a minimum, not to mention that the Hikari Village provided all-round protection for Shikaku, the ninjas from the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans present at the scene would never sit idly by and watch their leader being killed by others.

Even if this person is Mitomon En.

With this movement, the battlefield began to tilt in the direction of Konohagakure Village's uncontrollable direction.

Unfortunately, neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya had the means or energy to control it.

Even if more time is spent on Menma and there is no way to defeat Hashirama in a short time, according to the trend on the front battlefield, the defeat of Konohagakure is only a matter of time. However, in that case, the ninjas of both sides will have to pay a more tragic price.

This is also the reason why Menma did not leave any room for Hashirama, the God of Ninja, from the beginning.

Just as he had said before.

As long as it is within your ability.

He will try his best to reduce the casualties caused by the war, truly considering the sake of peace. No matter whether they are from his own ninja village or from other countries' ninja villages, as long as they are not on the kill list, he will treat them equally.

This is also to lay a solid foundation in advance for the establishment of a super-large ninja village in the future.

This is a very universal truth.

As long as fewer people die, the threshold of hatred will naturally be lower.

Everything will come more easily.

Menma and Toneri achieved this goal by defeating the brothers Hashirama and Tobirama in a short period of time.

By the time Tobirama brought Sarutobi Hiruzen back to the place where the two ninja villages were fighting, the casualties on both sides were really very low. There were indeed many injured people, but not many deaths. It is worth mentioning that at the beginning, when both sides saw the two Hokage, Tobirama and Hiruzen returning.

The ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village were still cheering loudly.

He fully believed that his previous Hokage had already won the victory with great strength.

The morale reached its peak at that moment, and correspondingly, a subtle atmosphere of suspicion and doubt appeared on the side of the Hidden Light Village. But even so, the Hidden Light Ninjas did not show any form of chaos, because in the hearts of the Hidden Light Ninjas, Menma has become the symbol of invincibility.

The return of Tobirama alone cannot really shake the morale of the light ninjas.

It's not an exaggeration to say that even if Menma's corpse appeared in front of these light ninjas, their first reaction would be to think that it was a conspiracy of the enemies.

How could their first generation Tianying-sama fail?!

In fact, it was just as these light ninjas expected.

When Tobirama returned, the moment he appeared, he directly told all members of the Hidden Leaf Village to give up resistance and surrender unconditionally.

Such a clear statement of attitude.

It undoubtedly clearly foreshadowed the outcome of the peak battle that took place in the distant Valley of the End!

It’s the victory of their Lord Tianying!
Although they were not sure what exactly happened or why their Lord Tenkage did not show up, it did not stop these light ninjas from cheering wildly.

The Second Hokage had even declared total surrender. Wasn't that worth celebrating?! Wasn't that worth cheering for?!

In contrast, the ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village became dazed and absent-minded after their initial shock.

They were defeated!
If even the first Hokage, who once dominated the ninja world, couldn't lead them to victory, then they had truly lost all hope.

Only the leaders Wuwei and Yugao were fully alert at the beginning because they did not see Menma appear.

They were still a little worried that this might be a conspiracy by the Hidden Leaf Village, deliberately letting them relax their vigilance and then suddenly attacking them! ?
But then, such doubts were quickly dispelled, because people really made the ninjas of Konohagakure Village completely give up resistance.

If they really wanted to plot something, it wouldn't go to this extent.

Later, we saw the flares specially sent out by Menma in the Valley of the End.

Wuwei, Yugao and others were finally relieved.

When Uchiha Madara's location was discovered, he was attacked by Menma and Toneri and a devastating battle broke out, which once again attracted the attention of the ninjas from the two villages gathered here.

But the battle started very suddenly.

It ended just as quickly.

It can be said that from the time the two sides gathered here to the end of the final battle, it took less than half a day.

Everything just came to an end.

By the time Hashirama, Tobirama, and Muque returned to the scene, the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village had already been reorganized.

The ninjas of the Hikari Village also formed their formation under the leadership of Wuwei and Yugao. After all, the other party had barely surrendered voluntarily. They were not captured after being defeated, so they still had to be given a certain amount of respect and autonomy.

It is impossible to use special equipment to restrict and detain people.

The most common thing is to let the ninjas of Konohagakure stay inside, while the light ninjas are guarding outside in a semi-encircled formation.

"Grandpa? Second grandpa? You guys are back. Is everything over? Eh? This? Is this Uchiha Madara!?"

The moment I saw Hashirama and Tobirama coming back.

Tsunade's eyes also lit up. Not to mention the process and the result, even now, the two Hokage are still the backbone of the Konohagakure Village.

Especially for Tsunade, it means something special.

She rushed forward immediately, but the moment she saw the person in her great-grandfather's arms, her eyes widened. Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, Hatake Sakumo and others who arrived behind her all showed varying degrees of shock.

As one of the original founders of the Hidden Leaf Village, it is impossible for these people not to know Uchiha Madara!
And judging from the posture, this is definitely a corpse! ?

Could it be that the battle just now was with Uchiha Madara! ?

Then this Shura of the Ninja World died again?

Was he killed again after being resurrected?!
this! ?

Tsunade felt like her mind was a little confused for a moment.

The same goes for Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others. "This? Shodaime-sama, Nidaime-sama? What on earth happened?"

They all looked at Hashirama and Tobirama with expressions of confusion and even bewilderment.

"Okay, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you. The team has been integrated, right? Xiao Tsuna, just as I said just now, after everyone returns to the ninja village, a high-level meeting will be held. At that time, I will personally preside over it and hand over all the affairs of the village to the Hidden Light Village. You make specific arrangements for the work. During this process, there should be no problems. No matter who dares to do anything unnecessary, there is no need for the Hidden Light Village to take action. I will personally destroy him. Do you understand?"

Tobirama took a deep breath and spoke in a very stern tone.

When he said the last two sentences, he deliberately looked at Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu.

In such a situation.

What Tobirama is most worried about is that his two disciples will mess up. They have the motive to do so, and they also have the ability to do so. Don't underestimate these two consultants. The fact that they were chosen by Tobirama back then is enough to prove their excellence. Their methods, intelligence, and strength are definitely at the top of the ninja world's pyramid. However, just like Hiruzen and Danzo, once they reach a certain age, they seem to have automatically lost their minds and are no longer as outstanding as they were when they were young.

However, this does not prevent them from having a certain prestige in the village. This can be seen from the fact that after Sarutobi Hiruzen's death in the original work, the two of them can almost decide who will be the Hokage.

The two of them also have a group of their most loyal subordinates in the village. If they really go crazy, it may bring certain problems to the stable transition of the village.

Even if it was harmless, it was not what Tobirama wanted to see.

Forget about Hiruzen.

Anyway, they are already dead, and they died fighting for the village. Even if they have many faults, Tobirama, as a teacher, is unwilling to blame them.

Just consider it as his atonement.

It was different for Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu. Facing the gaze of their Hokage mentor, these two so-called Hokage advisors both had bitter expressions on their faces.

After all, he is already in his seventies.

They were the disciples who were personally taught by Tobirama. Even though their treatment was not as good as that of Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was able to receive education from the first generation, they were still truly master and disciple with Tobirama. How could they not know the character of their mentor?

With just a glance, they could clearly judge what their mentor meant.

"Forget it, forget it, just consider it as atonement for what happened back then."

"It's for the sake of the village."

The two old men then lowered their heads sadly, thinking silently in their hearts.

Tobirama, who also saw the behavior and attitude of his two disciples, felt a little complicated inside.

Even though he had scolded these disciples with such hatred before, and even wanted to tear these bastards apart with his bare hands, after all, these were the successors that he had personally selected and trained!

Unlike his own Anika, Tobirama never got married in his life. Having no children, he almost regarded these people as his own descendants. This was one of the reasons why he was so angry when he learned about the stupid things done by Konoha F4.

I really feel so disappointed in you.

Now he had to be ruthless to his only two disciples, even Tobirama felt a little bit reluctant, but this was the ending they deserved, their retribution, and also the best outcome for the village.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu can naturally understand this point.

It was not possible to have other similar thoughts at the beginning.

But on the one hand, they still have Konoha in their hearts and are not completely selfish people. Secondly, the two previous Hokage, Hashirama and Tobirama, are still here, so it is absolutely impossible for them to do anything.

You have to know that their strongest strength in their prime was only slightly stronger than that of an elite jonin.

Even the level of quasi-shadow is difficult to reach, let alone now that I am old.

Any elite jonin in the village can defeat them in single combat.

In such a situation.

Instead of dying in disgrace, it is better to be sensible. Unlike Danzo, they both have descendants in the village. If they die on their own initiative, they can at least leave a little political legacy for their descendants. Even if the Hidden Leaf Village is gone, won't Tsunade and others still be alive and well?

I don't have too many extravagant expectations, and it should be reasonable to just ask for a little bit of preference and care.

One more thing is.

Both of them were around 70 years old, which was a very long life in this world where the average age of ninjas was less than years old. They had enjoyed everything they should have enjoyed in their early years, and they died now without any regrets.

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu still have a clear mind.

"Yes, Second Grandpa, I know, don't worry."

"Yes, Second-generation Master, everything will be done according to your instructions."

After Tsunade nodded in response.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting nearby, nodded silently and replied. Unlike Tsunade and the others who were complete outsiders, Sarutobi Hiruzen had personally experienced the previous battle.

Do not!
To say that they fought a great war is an exaggeration for them.

Even with the cooperation of himself and his mentor, they could only barely hold back the white-eyed boy. But as long as they were given more time, he and his mentor would definitely not be their match, let alone Lord Hashirama.

Menma was almost a one-sided crushing defeat.

Such a battle cannot be called a war at all.

Because from the beginning to the end, they were the oppressed party and they didn't have to pay any price.

When Tobirama suddenly left.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, Mito Kado En and others asked about Sarutobi Hiruzen. At first, they thought that Menma had some extra combat power, or that the Impure World Body could not exert the full strength of the three Hokage.

Although it is indeed true.

But in essence, Menma and Sheren are too strong.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is fully aware of this, so what if he can exert 100% of his peak strength! ?

Menma can still easily defeat his own first-generation master.

There won't be any difference.

For the sake of the living people in the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt that surrender was the only way out. Although he was heartbroken by the death of his son, he still had a grandson!

Sarutobi Hiruzen also reminded himself in his heart that he must have a good talk with Konohamaru after returning, because staying alive is the most important thing!
