Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 240 The "Hero" Who Pacifies the War in the Land of Grass!

In just one night, the entire Kusagakure village became even quieter, and the once bustling market became deserted.

The Mist Ninja have already invaded Hozuki Castle, and no one knows if they will invade Kusagakure as well.

So, just in case, before the Konoha reinforcements arrived, the Grass Ninja used all their skills to hide in strange and unusual safe houses that had been prepared in advance.

When it comes to escaping for their lives, the Grass Ninja are serious!

When Uchiha Shisui and his group arrived, they were puzzled to see the deserted Kusagakure.

"Could it be... we're too late? Has Kusagakure already been invaded by the Kirigakure ninja?"

Uchiha Inahi said uncertainly.

"That's not necessarily true. It's not unusual for the Grass Ninja to be wiped out by the Mist Ninja, given their strength."

"But this means we won't be able to complete the Hokage's mission, which was personally entrusted to us Uchiha by the Hokage. It's truly a pity."

Uchiha Inahisa respectfully addressed Shisui.

In the battle against Kyokotsu and Kappa, Shisui and clan leader Fugaku both displayed their Mangekyou Sharingan, becoming the pride of the Uchiha clan and significantly elevating their status. Every member of the Uchiha clan took them as role models.

"The Hidden Grass Village was not invaded, and the Grass Ninja are all here. You'll find it if you look around carefully."

Zhi Shui said to Dao Huo with some helplessness, he still couldn't stand the fervent, worshipful gazes of his people.

In fact, the Grass Ninja are very good at hiding. Hiding is directly related to their lives, so they dare not slack off on this.

However, there are always some unreasonable beings in the ninja world, such as the Sharingan.

Let alone Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, even Uchiha Inahime's three-tomoe Sharingan could see through it. However, because Uchiha Inahime had Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, she didn't take it seriously, which is why she didn't notice the Grass Ninja.

When Uchiha Inahisa heard Shisui's words, she had no doubt whatsoever. What was there to doubt about the Mangekyou Sharingan? It must be real!

So he immediately opened his three-tomoe Sharingan and looked around.

Sure enough, behind a house, Inahime saw a shifty-eyed ninja peeking out, watching them.

The grass ninja and Inagi made eye contact, realizing they had been discovered, and immediately tried to escape. But when they saw the newcomer wearing a Konoha headband, they were overjoyed.

"Konoha's reinforcements have arrived! Everyone, stop hiding and come out!"

Although they were unsure whether the newcomers were genuine Konoha reinforcements, the Grass Ninja who had been discovered decided to call everyone out, just in case.

After a sound, the grass ninjas emerged from the strange place, startling Inahashi so much that he unconsciously picked up his kunai.

In an instant, the once quiet Kusagakure village became bustling with activity.

"You guys weren't wiped out by the Mist Ninja?"

Uchiha Inahime looked at the surrounding Grass Ninja and said in shock.

"Don't underestimate us Kusagakure ninja! Although we Kusagakure villagers sell false information, act like fence-sitters, and bully the weak while fearing the strong, our reconnaissance and infiltration capabilities are also very strong!"

The leader of the Grass Ninja retorted, then said to Shisui with a broad smile:

"We Kusagakure have always believed that Konoha would come to our aid, but Konoha's willingness to send the Uchiha clan is still beyond our expectations."

"Please rest assured, the Hokage took the invasion of Kusagakure very seriously and specifically sent us to protect the village."

"With us here, Kusagakure will definitely not be breached by the Kirigakure ninja."

Shisui spoke gently, but his tone carried a hint of confidence.

"Alright, alright, I'm very relieved to leave the village in your care. In that case, I'll lead the Grass Ninja to support Hozuki Castle."

The leader of the Grass Ninja spoke with great righteousness and immediately gathered a large number of Grass Ninja to prepare to leave.

Seeing this, Shisui hesitated and said, "The Kirigakure has already completed its invasion of Hozuki Castle. Isn't it a bit too late to go and provide support now?"

"It's not too late! It's never too late, in fact, the timing is just right. Ah, what I mean is, no matter what, our Kusagakure must go and support Hozuki Castle! Even if we, the Grass Flower Village, have conflicts with Hozuki Castle, Hozuki Castle is an inseparable part of Kusagakure, and we absolutely cannot stand by and watch it perish."

After the leader of the Grass Ninja finished speaking, he led the Grass Ninja troops that had been arranged in advance and hurriedly left.

Shisui was deeply moved by this scene, and Daodao Huodao beside him said:

"The relationship between Hozuki Castle and Kusagakure is so similar to that between the Uchiha clan and Konoha; both are fraught with conflict."

"However, the fact that Kusagakure was willing to provide support when Hozuki Castle was invaded by a powerful enemy fully demonstrates that the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha can be changed."

"I believe that if the Uchiha clan is in danger of being wiped out, Konoha will definitely come to the aid of the Uchiha, just as Kusagakure did for Hozuki Castle."

Although Uchiha Inahi respected and admired Shisui, she was never interested in the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan that Shisui mentioned.

But now, when Uchiha Inahime heard Shisui's sigh again, and looked at the Grass Ninja who were eager to support Hozuki Castle, he slowly nodded.

Perhaps, maybe, or perhaps, what Shisui said makes some sense.

Shisui saw the approving look on Inahime's face and gave a bright smile.

As long as he keeps working hard, he will have more and more like-minded companions. In addition, the Fourth Hokage is now trying to win over the Uchiha clan, so the conflict between the clan and the village will definitely be resolved.

Hozuki Castle after being invaded by the Kirigakure ninja.

The surviving Grass Fruit ninjas looked around blankly. Hozuki Castle was destroyed, and the Chest of Bliss was stolen. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

The elder of the Grass Ninja, wearing an animal mask, walked up to the Grass Ninja.

He was the only surviving elder of the Grass Ninja, because he was not in Hozuki Castle when the Mist Ninja invaded, and thus escaped the calamity.

"Now is not the time to be discouraged. Have you forgotten your great ambition to revive Kusagakure?"

"As long as we are united, I believe we can overcome all difficulties!"

But the grass ninjas with the fruit of the grass did not respond to the elder's words. The double blow from reality and faith had robbed them of their ambition.

Just as Elder Kusanagi was trying to rally the remaining defeated troops, a mocking voice rang out.

"I'm afraid you won't have a chance."

"Hana no Hana? What are you doing here? Kusano no Mi doesn't welcome you."

Elder Kusanagi said in a deep voice.

"Don't be so hostile to the flowers of grass. After all, we are from the same village, and there will be no more fruits of grass in the future."

"You want to take advantage of our misfortune and swallow us up when we are at our weakest?!"

"That's right."

The leader of the Grass Ninja looked completely at ease.

The grass ninja behind him wore an arrogant and smug expression, also believing that this was only natural!

Opportunists, opportunists, bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong—that's the survival rule of the Grass Ninja Village.

When he gets crazy, he'll even hit himself!

The elder of the Grass Ninja was stunned for a moment, his body, covered by an animal mask, trembling uncontrollably, as if he was enraged by the shamelessness of the Grass Flower.

The elder of the Grass Ninja wanted to lead the Grass Fruit in a desperate fight, but they failed.

The ninja with the fruit of grass no longer wanted to fight.

The leader of the Grass Ninja looked at the Grass Fruit ninja who remained motionless despite the elders' calls and smiled with satisfaction.

"Alright, those who know when to yield are the wise. As long as you are willing to rely on me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly, at least your lives will be safe."

"As for you, as an elder, seize him!"

A large number of Grass Ninja swarmed in and surrounded the Grass Ninja Elder. Although the Grass Ninja Elder was not weak, he was no match for the overwhelming number of Grass Ninja and was quickly captured.

"Don't look so unhappy. Isn't it something to celebrate that the flower and the fruit of the grass have become one? Let me help you so you can have a gentle smile..."

The leader of the Grass Ninja revealed a bloodthirsty smile and walked up to the Grass Ninja Elder.

Then, he crushed one of the bones in the Grass Ninja Elder's body.

"Aa ...

The elder of the Grass Ninja screamed in agony; the pain, which exceeded his limits, instantly shattered his will.

Hearing the screams, the leader of the Grass Ninja clan laughed even more viciously: "Come on, look at my smile and imitate it..."

"You bastard, you bastard!"

Elder Kusanagi cursed wildly in agony.

"The human body has a total of 206 bones. This is just the first one. How many more do you think you can endure?"

Seeing the Grass Ninja leader's bloodthirsty and cruel smile, the Grass Ninja Elder swallowed hard.

I'm sorry, my ancestors of Kusanagi, I have tried my best, but I am powerless to change Kusanagi's fate.

In reality, effort is often just an excuse to comfort oneself, especially in the ninja world.

"I am willing to surrender, willing to represent the essence of grass and merge into the flower of grass."

"That's wonderful. During our heart-to-heart talk, the elder suddenly realized that the Grass Country could no longer be divided, so he took the initiative to lead the Grass Country to merge into the Grass Flower Country."

Upon hearing the leader's words, everyone was stunned and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

No wonder the leader could become the leader; he can come up with so many different kinds of lies.

However, this result is very good.

Having nothing, and losing nothing by doing anything, they swallowed the fruit of the grass.

Sure enough, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, taking advantage of others' misfortunes, and being a fence-sitter are the ways of survival and development for the Hidden Grass Village.

Seeing that things had settled down, the Grass Ninjas began to fawn over him.

"The leader is truly too strong. He was able to pacify the Land of Grass all by himself. He is the destined master of Kusagakure!"

"The leader has a broad mind and a tolerant attitude! Even the rival elder, Kusanagi, was impressed by the leader's magnanimity and was willing to put aside their disputes and work together to build the Land of Grass. No wonder he has been able to lead the Land of Grass to become stronger and has gained the following and recognition of so many Kusanagi ninja."

"If the leader were in the Warring States period, he would surely have become a figure like the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju."

"The leader has arrived! The Land of Grass will be at peace! The leader has arrived! The Grass Ninja will be happy! The leader has arrived!"

"Haha, everyone, I was able to end the chaos and restore order to the Land of Grass without your support and help."
