Naruto under the bamboo forest

Chapter 53: Still defeated in the end! ! !

At the end of Konoha's forty-five years, the Kirigakure Village gathered nearly 10,000 ninjas in the southern part of Yuno Country, assisted by the Three-Tails, to attack the Konoha camp at night. Konoha was outmatched and eventually forced to retreat.

As the commander, Orochimaru was responsible for breaking the rear and buying time for the Konoha ninjas to retreat. Faced with the complete body of the three tails, he finally returned seriously injured.

After that, the Kirigakure ninja army marched straight in and invaded the Land of Fire in one fell swoop.

Konoha Village faces its biggest crisis since the start of the Third Ninja War.

For a moment, people in Konoha were panicked, and the Third Hokage almost decided to mobilize some of the forces on the northern front, and then personally led the team to the eastern front of the Land of Fire to stop Kirigakure's continued attack. The higher-ups are even discussing whether to send the Nine-Tails, the strongest among the tailed beasts, to the front line to fight against the Three-Tails of Kirigakure Village.

However, what was shocking was that there was no further reaction from Konoha. After entering the Land of Fire, the Kirigakure Village, which had an absolute advantage, chose to stop the attack and instead withdrew a considerable part of its forces to the Kingdom of Water.

Konoha was both happy and confused about this, and the other villages watching were even more puzzled as to why the Kirigakure Village, which was in sight of victory, suddenly stopped. Even within Kirigakure Village, there are quite a few people who don't understand that victory is right in front of them, and Konoha is extremely weak at the moment, why not take advantage of this opportunity to pursue the victory and win the greatest benefits for Kirigakure Village?

Did the top management of Kirigakure Village reach a secret truce agreement with Konoha? Or are there other villages trying to sneak attack Kirigakure Village while the main force of Kirigakure Village is outside? Or maybe Konoha has sent the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails, to the front line to prepare for a decisive battle with Kirigakure, but Kirigakure doesn't want to be the first to over-stimulate Konoha?

In a short period of time, various reliable or unreliable speculations have emerged. 6⃞ 9⃞ s⃞ h⃞ u⃞ x⃞ .⃞ c⃞ o⃞ m⃞

But Kirigakure's withdrawal was ultimately a good thing for Konoha. As a large number of Kirigakure ninjas were transferred back to the Kingdom of Water, the pressure on Konoha's eastern front was suddenly greatly reduced, and Kirigakure and Konoha once again formed a balanced confrontation.

"Finally back!"

Lying on a lawn by the river, Liu Yu held a piece of sharp grass in his mouth and looked at the white clouds floating leisurely above the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

Only after experiencing war can we realize how precious the peace at this moment is.

Breathing in the fresh air, Liu Yu couldn't help but reveal a hint of intoxication. The fresh air mixed with the smell of earth is still comfortable, unlike the front line of Yuno Country, where the air is always mixed with the sinister smell of blood, although Liu Yu also knows that this may be due to psychological factors.

In this war with Kirigakure Village, Konoha suffered heavy losses, and the village's senior officials had to recruit some of the previously rotated personnel to Orochimaru's command. Team Hai was lucky enough to be rotated back to Konoha for a period of repair. Ryūha couldn't help but wonder if they were able to return to the village to make repairs because the old man Sandaime opened the back door after knowing that his youngest son was injured on the front line.

To be honest, when he learned that Kirigakure had withdrawn part of its combat power to the Kingdom of Water, Liu Yu was also puzzled. The person behind Kirigakure Village is Uchiha Madara, she knows this.

Why did Uchiha Madara want the Kirigakure Village, which had an absolute advantage, to withdraw its troops? The only answer that Ryūha could come up with was that Konoha's weakness was not in line with Uchiha Madara's plan. After all, Uchiha Madara's ultimate plan was the 'Eye of the Moon', not the destruction of Konoha. Now Uchiha Madara is burdened by his aging body. What he wants is to find a 'successor' from the Uchiha family.

Putting his hands under his head, Liu Yu closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare tranquility. Liu Yu knew that it wouldn't be long before they would be sent to the front line again. Konoha's current combat power was tense, and they wouldn't have much time to enjoy it.

Walking on the streets of Konoha now, you can clearly see a trace of anxiety on every pedestrian's face. Konoha is now in the biggest crisis since the founding of the village. The northern front has accumulated heavy troops, but has been unable to achieve a breakthrough; the eastern front has been burned by Kirigakure Village to the Fire Country itself; in the Moon Country, Kumogakure Village Even more so. Under such circumstances, the villagers cannot help but be worried.

There is now such an argument in Konoha Village that the third generation Hokage is old and can no longer shoulder the important responsibility of Hokage. There are even some extreme remarks saying that the reason why Konoha is facing the current predicament is all the fault of the third generation. If Konoha wants to win this war, it must get a new Hokage who is young and responsible.

Liu Yu could guess that the driving force behind these public opinions was most likely Danzo. This guy has been spying on the Hokage's throne for a long time. However, Danzo still maintains a cooperative relationship with Orochimaru. If nothing unexpected happens, he will recommend Orochimaru to be the fourth Hokage just like in the original work.

But now Orochimaru has suffered a series of defeats, which has allowed the Kirigakure Village to invade the Fire Country itself. His reputation in the village has dropped to its lowest point. He can't compare to Jiraiya, who is also a Sannin, or even Jiraiya's apprentice Namikaze Minato. Moreover, on the eastern battlefield commanded by Orochimaru, the precious Byakugan of the Hyuga clan was also lost. This is the only Byakugan of the Hyuga clan that has been living abroad since ancient times (at least the Byakugan taken away by the Kusasen clan was snatched back by them). Although the Byakugan was taken away by Kirigakure, the Hyuga clan still had to complain about Orochimaru. At least the Hyuga clan, the top wealthy family in Konoha, will never support Orochimaru in competing for the throne of the Fourth Hokage.

"Danzo!!!"

Liu Yu unconsciously muttered this name in her heart. Danzo can be said to be one of the existences that he least wants to face in the current Konoha Village. The other existence that he does not want to face is her when she was in Yuno Country. His top boss--Orochimaru. But in the future, when living in Konoha, it is inevitable to deal with Danzo, who is a high-ranking person.

But Liu Yu, who has memories of his past life, naturally knows what kind of person Danzo is. This guy left countless messes to Konoha in the name of doing it for Konoha. When Konoha faced a crisis, it always stood aside and tried to preserve its power. The reason why Akatsuki turned dark was due to him.

Like most people in his previous life, Ryūha had no favorable impression of this person who controlled the darkness in Konoha's underground. If possible, Liu Yu would like to stay far away from him.

By the way, this guy seems to have invited me to participate in his roots?

Ryūha once again recalled the last time she met Danzo when she went to the Third Generation to receive the Konoha forehead protector. At that time, the one eye was staring at him all over.

High in the sky, white clouds float leisurely; the breeze blows, bending a leaf of grass; the occasional small fish splashing and jumping in the river splashes a few waves. In this peaceful atmosphere, the string that Liu Yu had been tense on the battlefield relaxed. With a ray of breeze on his pillow and those miscellaneous thoughts, Liu Yu fell asleep gently.
