Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

The strange thing is that at this moment, the four of them are sitting in their seats.

They remained silent, neither of them uttering a word.

The eerie atmosphere lasted for a while.

Finally, it was Xiaochun, who had switched dorms, who spoke first.

"The Uchiha clan's performance in this war has been outstanding..."

"Starting from the eastern battlefield, brilliant young talents such as Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Ryosuke emerged one after another."

"Especially this Uchiha Ryosuke, who was able to change the course of the entire war single-handedly, is a rare and outstanding talent that cannot be ignored."

Although the words sounded nice, the expressions on the faces of the four of them were not very pleasant at that moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, appeared relatively calm, simply smoking silently without saying a word.

Koharu and Homura, however, looked much worse, their brows furrowed, as if they were preoccupied.

The Root organization's leader, Danzo Shimura, remained as lifeless as ever.

After Xiaochun finished speaking, the meeting room fell into an eerie silence again.

After a while, Mitokado Homura slowly spoke:

"After this battle, the Uchiha clan's prestige in the village will likely recover somewhat..."

As village administrators, we need to give such a heroic family sufficient recognition and recognition.

"Don't give others cause for gossip."

This is a reminder to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although there is a conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village.

They had been distrusting each other for years, and everyone knew that their relationship behind the scenes was far from harmonious.

But one must put on a good show to be a qualified ruler.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained mostly silent, quietly puffing on his pipe.

At this moment, Koharu, who was switching dorm rooms, spoke up again:

“The Uchiha matter must be handled properly. Uchiha Ryosuke’s file has been sent to your office. Now let’s talk about other issues.”

Her tone became a little serious...

Chapter 46: Striving for the Hokage Position!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, remained calm and composed.

"Sarutobi".

Mitokado Homura spoke in a deep voice: "In this war, although the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water, the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, and the Hidden Sand Village of the Land of Earth have all agreed to peace talks, we, Konoha, have won the war."

"However, our casualties were very heavy; the village was practically deserted, with nine out of ten houses empty."

The ninjas who were initially dispatched to the battlefield faced a near-certain death.

"There's a lot of criticism about this war in the village right now..."

More importantly, many discordant voices were also emerging from Daming Prefecture.

He slowly crossed his arms, his serious gaze falling on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.

Having served as Hokage for so many years, they are also comrades-in-arms who know each other inside and out.

How could Hiruzen Sarutobi not understand the underlying meaning in Homura Mitokado's words?

The war is about to end.

Negotiations are about to begin.

However, what follows is that someone needs to come up with a plan for this war for Konoha.

They took responsibility for the disasters and losses brought to the Land of Fire.

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally slowly put down his pipe and looked intently at Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane:

“Since I am the shadow of the village and the commander-in-chief of this war, you don’t need to worry about the responsibilities that I should bear.”

"Before that, I need to travel to other countries for negotiations with high-level officials..."

It's not too late to talk about these things after the negotiations are over.

The outcome of the negotiations will determine one's fate.

If Konoha can gain enough benefits from the outcome of the negotiations.

It could even, to some extent, make up for the significant losses that this war brought to the Land of Fire.

Then perhaps I can be safe and sound.

Conversely, one can only leave it to fate and accept all possible changes.

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi say this, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane's expressions softened somewhat.

As long as someone is willing to take responsibility and not drag themselves down with them.

They certainly wouldn't be too aggressive.

"Sarutobi, I already warned you to have the rest of the troops withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible."

Koharu Utatane looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a hint of regret and pity, and said softly.

"Currently, only the situation on the western front remains unconfirmed. Let's wait and see..."

"I might be able to set off for Daming Prefecture in the next couple of days."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject and muttered to himself.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Minato Namikaze's voice came from outside the conference room:

"Lord Third Generation, the latest news from the battlefield has arrived."

After the troops from the various hostile ninja villages withdrew from the border of the Land of Fire, Minato Namikaze, who was skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique, was able to leave.

They temporarily acted as messengers to deliver important intelligence information.

Upon hearing his words, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered him to come in.

"According to the latest intelligence, Lord Orochimaru has led his troops to defeat the invading forces of Sunagakure."

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, personally agreed to withdraw his troops and negotiate peace.

"The war, it seems, can finally be completely over..."

The good news that Minato Namikaze brought back was exactly what everyone had expected.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly picked up his pipe again, took a puff, and then calmly looked at Minato Namikaze:

"Minato, go and make preparations. Let's set off for Daimyo Prefecture together."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment.

Sensing that Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have something to say to him privately, he didn't ask any further questions and quickly nodded.

...

The Third Shinobi World War, which lasted for many years.

After a final, desperate struggle by the various ninja villages, the situation was finally brought to a complete end.

In a strict sense, there were no winners in this war.

Regardless of whether it was Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, or Sunagakure, who seemed to have surrendered by voluntarily withdrawing their troops.

Despite Konoha appearing to be the victor, all parties actually paid an extremely heavy price.

The countries that supported these ninja villages in their operations naturally paid a huge economic price as a result.

The news that the war was about to end completely spread rapidly on the battlefield.

The combat forces of the other four ninja villages have all withdrawn from the border of the Land of Fire.

The forces of the Land of Fire, apart from the necessary defensive forces.

The remaining troops also began to return to the village one after another.

The same applies to the combat forces of the Uchiha clan.

At this time, Uchiha Ryosuke had already returned to his team.

They followed the main force back towards Konoha.

However, despite winning the battle, there was no joy and laughter in the ranks as expected.

All the Uchiha clan members looked sullen.

A somber and oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire group.

This puzzled Uchiha Ryosuke greatly.

Uchiha Ryosuke curiously approached the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku, and asked in a low voice:

Why does everyone seem so unhappy?

"We won this war."

Fugaku Uchiha, who was deep in thought, stopped and looked into his eyes when he heard his words.

"Ryo, your outstanding performance in battle this time has spread throughout the entire ninja world..."

We all acknowledge your strength, it's just a pity...

Fugaku Uchiha looked worried.

"If only the Uchiha clan had more powerful members like you and Shisui."

After saying that, he pursed his lips, his eyes filled with regret and pity.

Uchiha Ryosuke remained silent for a while before Uchiha Fugaku spoke again:

"This time, our Uchiha clan achieved a Pyrrhic victory."

"Of the more than three hundred people who followed me on the expedition, less than half have returned safely."

"As the clan leader, I feel incredibly guilty and remorseful..."

Uchiha Fugaku's words plunged Uchiha Ryosuke into silence.

Now he finally understood why the Uchiha clan members were so lifeless and silent.

Among the more than one hundred Uchiha clan members who sacrificed their lives, there may have been their relatives, friends, and lovers...

Under such circumstances, it's unlikely that anyone would be happy to come.

Besides, even if Fugaku Uchiha didn't say it.

In fact, Uchiha Ryosuke also knew that there was a deeper reason.

This explains the reaction from the Uchiha clan members.

It was a lingering shadow that hung over my heart.

It's something that's more uncomfortable than losing loved ones or companions.

Uchiha Ryosuke is not good at offering comfort.

He took a deep breath and suddenly asked:

"Lord Fugaku, on the bright side, the Uchiha clan has done a great service this time..."

"I suppose we could be a contender for the Fourth Hokage position?"

Chapter 47 The Importance Attached to the Uchiha Clan!

"The Fourth Hokage?"

Fugaku Uchiha paused slightly, looking at Ryosuke Uchiha in surprise: "Why would you have such a thought?"

After saying that, he shook his head slightly and gave a bitter smile:
