The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 275 The war is over
At the Iwagakure headquarters, the battle between Konoha ninjas and Iwagakure ninjas has entered a white-hot stage.

Although it cost a heavy price, the old but strong Shiratsuchi still led the Iwagakure troops to fight and retreat, and finally successfully returned to defend before the base camp was breached, barely stabilizing the situation.

After that, as long as they wait for Lao Zi to eliminate that damn Minato Namikaze as soon as possible and then come to support them, they still have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Even if he had to retreat in the end, being able to kill Minato Namikaze would definitely make up for his mistake...

And judging from the earth-shattering explosion just now, which was obviously caused by the Tailed Beast Ball, the battle on Lao Zi's side must have been over.

Bai Tu's guess was not wrong, but it was a pity that the outcome of the battle might not be what he wished for...

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light suddenly bloomed in the sky.

It fell from the sky like a small sun and slowly landed on the top of the tallest tree near the battlefield.

The ninjas on both sides couldn't help but pause their attacks, their eyes were unconsciously drawn over.

When the golden light faded, everyone could gradually see clearly that there were two figures on the top of the tree.

It was the blonde Minato Namikaze, and the wounded and unconscious Old Zi who was held in his hands...

What this scene means is almost self-evident.

"The victory has been decided."

"You, the Iwagakure, lost this war..."

Minato said quietly, but with the microphone Kunai amplifying him, his loud voice spread across the battlefield, causing the remaining people to stop what they were doing.

Bai Tu felt dizzy instantly when he heard this and almost lost his balance.

Lao Zi lost?

How can this be?

Even if Minato Namikaze is gifted, it is impossible for him to be able to defeat Lao Zi single-handedly at this age.

Conspiracy! Konoha must have been plotting something again.

Bai Tu guessed subconsciously.

Minato Namikaze, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, is undoubtedly Konoha's brightest new star in the future.

In order to build momentum for him, Konoha might actually design a trap to help him win.

However, now is not the time to worry about this. The real question is what to do now.

At this time, Jiraiya, who was riding on the giant toad, also shouted loudly:

"Old Bai Tu, it looks like you are completely defeated this time."

"To avoid unnecessary casualties, you should just surrender."

But although Jiraiya looked so proud, he was actually quite surprised.

Because according to the original plan, he only asked Minato to be responsible for restraining Lao Zi and buying more time for the main force to capture the enemy's base camp.

I didn’t expect that this kid actually exceeded the task and directly took down Lao Zi.

This made Jiraiya feel a little uneasy.

If my strength continues to stagnate, I am afraid that one day I, as a master, will have to ask Minato for advice on ninjutsu...

Meanwhile, amidst the outrage of the Iwagakure ninjas, Shiratsuchi, after a brief moment of hesitation, seemed to have aged a dozen years, and finally uttered weakly:
"Let everyone surrender."

"Lord Shiratou!"

Shiratsuchi raised his hand to interrupt the surrounding Iwagakure ninjas' persuasion and shook his head.
"If we continue to fight, we will just lose our lives in vain."

"I will take all the responsibility. Please trust my judgment."

The Iwagakure ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this, and in the end they could only trust Bai Tu's decision and dropped their weapons...

Seeing this, Jiraiya and Minato both breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, the years-long war between Iwagakure and Konoha finally came to a temporary end...

Even though Iwagakure still has human nuclear bombs like Ōnoki, Han, and even Konoha, Konoha cannot force them too much.

But Iwagakure will definitely have to pay a considerable price to redeem the captured ninjas.

Having suffered serious injuries, it will not be able to pose much threat to Konoha for at least a few years.

As expected, Minato Namikaze, who shined in this war, became famous throughout the ninja world along with the reappearance of the Flying Thunder God Technique. The golden sun, the yellow flash, the nemesis of Jinchūriki, the most handsome man in the ninja world...

Many names that had not yet been fully confirmed were also widely circulated in various intelligence reports and became new legends in the ninja world.

In addition, according to some gossip from Iwagakure and Konoha, there is a hidden great hero in Konoha in this war.

He didn't even appear on the front line, but his contribution quietly changed the course of the war.

If Minato Namikaze is the rising sun of Konoha, then that hero is the dark shadow hidden in the light.

It is said that he quietly releases countless threads in the shadows, or manipulates enemy and friendly ninjas as puppets, or sets up secret traps, waiting for the enemy to step into them without knowing it...

Shadow Spider Kimura Hideki...

In some highly confidential intelligence, this name appears from time to time in the vision of senior executives of major organizations, causing a certain amount of attention.

However, at this time, most people just wait and see, or even sneer.

After all, without clearer evidence, it is hard to believe that a puppeteer who is only a special jonin can actually influence the direction of a war...

……

"Finally home……"

A few days later, Inuzuka Jaw looked at the tall wooden wall of the Hidden Leaf Village in front of him and sighed.

After all, he had never thought that the Jonin assessment mission, which should have been an easy task, would have so many twists and turns.

This made him look at the instigator of all this with a complicated expression, Hideki, whom he always treated as his younger brother.

After this incident, he finally realized that the Hideki who used to be quite clever but still had to rely on him for protection has grown up.

Even if they were to fight with real swords and guns, he had no confidence that he could defeat this guy who had no idea how many cards he had...

If everyone knew about Hideki's contribution, his reputation would definitely not be much inferior to Minato's.

Hideki himself doesn't care much about these false reputations.

Or maybe the angle he cares about is a little strange...

"Why does Minato have such cool names as Yellow Flash and Golden Sun..."

"And I got the title of Shadow Spider, which is obviously a villain title?"

"And it's a mid-level boss that obviously won't survive to the end."

Ever since he learned that he had a nickname that was spread in a small circle, Hideki has been chattering like Xianglin Sao.

If he had known earlier, he would have gone to the exchange office to buy a hot search and give himself a resounding name.

Ding Zuo beside him ate potato chips and consoled him:

"Hideki, you are better than me..."

"Shikakui and I have always been called the new generation of Ino-Shika-Chou, and no one has bothered to come up with a new nickname for us."

"The most outrageous thing is that people always think I am the 'pig' in Pig, Deer and Butterfly. This is too rude."

"I'm not fat at all, I'm just plump..."

Inuzuka Jab also interrupted angrily:

"Damn it, who is more miserable than me? I didn't have much chance to show off in this mission."

"Otherwise I'm sure I'll get a nice nickname."

Although Hizashi remained silent, he also wanted to say that apart from the Hyuga Tennin, few people in the Hyuga clan had been able to obtain special titles over the years.

Hideki spread his hands helplessly.

It seems that for most ninjas, getting this kind of nickname is a great opportunity to increase their popularity and raise their value.

I am still unhappy about this, which is really a bit Versailles.

The four of them chatted casually and soon arrived at the Hokage Building, ready to report the mission to the Sandaime.

Of course, the most important thing is that their jonin examination will finally have a result...
