The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Cang Si originally wanted to collect the bodies of the two and hand them over to Konoha.

But suddenly an idea struck me and I gave up this decision.

"It seems that the bodies of the Akashaimu couple may have some other uses." Cang Si touched his chin, thinking about the feasibility of the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind.

Once a decision is made, do it immediately. Cang Si is not such a saint as to want to return the body directly to Sunagakure.

"Okay, let's call it a day. I didn't expect to get such unexpected gains this time." After sealing the bodies of the two people in the scroll, Cang Si was still very happy.

Then, Cang Si cleaned up all traces nearby, making it look like no one had ever been here.

Then, he returned to report to Kurama Hachizo.

The war is over.

The number of Sunagakure ninjas who escaped in the end was estimated to be no more than a hundred, and Konoha's losses were less than a quarter, which can be said to be a great victory.

Hatake Sakumo also sent people to the bottom of the river to look for the bodies of Akashimi and his wife, but they had been beaten to it by Soushi, so they found nothing.

Hatake Sakumo didn't care about this. At most, he thought that the body had sunk to the bottom of the river or was eaten by aquatic creatures.

At least, no one would have thought that Cang Si would hide the bodies of the Akasaimu couple.

In fact, in their opinion, this would not benefit Cang Si at all, so they did not doubt it too much.

Cang Si’s answer to this was that he found nothing under the river and returned.

"Well, this victory in the battle is thanks to all of you. I don't think the Sand Village will be able to fight again."

After cleaning up the battlefield, Hatake Sakumo announced the good news to the ninjas of Konoha.

"Won!"

"Long live!"

"Lord Sakumo is mighty!"

"We can finally go back to Konoha!"

Cheers spread throughout the camp.

Konoha's victory in this battle almost announced that the war had entered its final stages.

Other ninja villages were also watching before this.

If Sunagakure wins, the war will continue, but if Konoha wins, the war will end.

This good news was passed back to Konoha by Hatake Sakumo as soon as possible.

Not to mention the emotions of everyone in Konoha Village, but the Sand Village side certainly would not be happy after receiving the news of defeat on the front line.

"Damn it! More than 2000 ninjas on the front line were completely defeated, and only less than a hundred escaped back to Sand Village. This is a huge shame!" The Third Kazekage was furious in the office.

More importantly, even the commander of Sunagakure died in this war.

"Lord Kazekage, what should we do now?" A high-ranking member of the Sunagakure clan asked the angry Kazekage tremblingly.

It wasn't that he wanted to speak and offend the furious Third Kazekage, but the other senior executives present were all acting like grandsons, so he had no choice but to speak.

"Hmph, I will go to the front line myself and avenge all the sacrificed Sand Ninjas!" It can be seen that the Third Kazekage has somewhat lost his mind.

"Master Fengying, you absolutely cannot do that!"

"That's right, the village can't live without Kazekage-sama!"

"Master Fengying, please reconsider this!"

At this point, all the top leaders could no longer remain silent.

Lord Fengying is about to go to the front line in person, but they don't stop him. Are they waiting for Lord Fengying to return victorious before shouting 666?

What's more, in their hearts, they have already tacitly acknowledged the failure of Sunagakure, but no one dared to be the first to speak up.

"Huh? Do you think I will fail too?" When he said this, the Sandaime Kazekage's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Swish"

Dense iron sand has begun to gather around the Third Kazekage, as if he is ready to make an example of them if the Sand Village leaders don't give a reasonable explanation.

"this......"

At this point, no Sand Village leader dared to continue speaking.

After all, no one wants to be the chicken that gets killed.

"Lord Kazekage, stop it."

In this depressing atmosphere, the Sunagakure elders Chiyo and Ebizo walked in.

"Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo." The other high-ranking officials of Sunagakure looked at the two people who came in and showed joyful expressions.

Now that there are these two people in front, I believe that Lord Fengying will not do anything reckless.

"Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo, you are here. Do you have any other opinions about my going to the front line?" The Third Kazekage still maintained enough respect for these two people.

Therefore, he immediately dispersed the iron sand floating around.

"call"

All the Sunagakure high-ranking officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lord Kazekage, our current finances in Sunagakure can no longer support us to continue fighting. Please stop." Chiyo spoke up to stop them.

"But, Elder Chiyo, your son and daughter-in-law also died in this battle. Are you willing to accept this?" asked the Third Kazekage puzzled.

In the eyes of the Third Kazekage, everyone in Sunagakure could potentially stop him, except Chiyo, who should have the same feeling as him.

However, Chiyo, who had lost her son and daughter-in-law, actually went against her usual behavior and joined other Sunagakure high-ranking officials to stop him, which left the Third Kazekage puzzled.

The Third Kazekage dared to propose the idea of ​​going to the front line, and he had already anticipated that other Sand Village leaders would stop him.

After all, every move of the "shadow" of each village is of great significance to the village.

But he firmly believed that Chiyo would definitely support him, so he had the confidence.

"I do hate Konoha, and I hate the Konoha White Fang who killed my son and daughter-in-law, but I am also a member of the Sand Village." Chiyo explained painfully to the Third Kazekage.

Looking at the old man in front of him who was nearly fifty years old, the Third Kazekage fell silent.

Chiyo's words meant to tell him.

If she was simply acting as a mother, she would insist on continuing to fight this war, but as a member of Sunagakure, she would not let her emotions interfere with her judgment.

The Third Kazekage, who had originally felt resentful about the death of Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law along with a large number of Sand Village ninjas, was now filled with awe and had no other thoughts.

Yes, the most painful thing is that the elderly see their children die young. What reason do I have to let the war continue?

The Third Kazekage gradually gave up the idea of ​​continuing the fight.

"The One-Tail Jinchūriki, Master Bonfuku, is about to die of old age, and Master Kazekage will need to re-seal him and choose a new Jinchūriki."

Ebizo, who was standing nearby, also dropped another bombshell at this time.

"What! Is the One-Tail Jinchuriki's life span coming to an end?"

"This is how to do?"

"Master Fengying, you must not leave now."

"Is that old man Fenfu about to collapse?"

This piece of information also became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Third Kazekage.

"The One-Tailed Jinchuriki is sharing his blessings. I haven't seen that old monk for a long time. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly." The Third Kazekage seemed to have remembered the old man in his memory.

Fenfuku, a Jinchūriki who had the One-Tail Shukaku implanted in his body during the Second Kazekage period, is one of the few perfect Jinchūriki in the ninja world today.

"I don't know when Lord Bunfuku will die. It so happens that your iron sand, Lord Kazekage, can control Shukaku very well, so you can't leave the village now." Seeing that the Third Kazekage had already thought of giving up the war, Chiyo persuaded him.

"Okay, I understand. Let's negotiate with Konoha. As for the negotiations, I'll leave everything to Elder Chiyo." The Third Kazekage said helplessly.

The situation is stronger than people. Even if the Third Kazekage wants to do something big, there is no way to continue the war now.

Kumogakure and Iwa

The Hidden Village is now in a deadly feud, and there are also many contradictions within the Hidden Village of Mist. It is not putting in any effort in the war with Konoha.

Only the Sand Village themselves can't beat Konoha.

As for peace talks, it's just a nicer way of saying it.

Everyone knows that this is actually a disguised surrender, and now they just hope that Konoha will not ask for too much for it.

The finances of the Sand Village were not very rich to begin with, and now that they have lost the battle, they really cannot afford to compensate Konoha anything.

"Well, I will take care of it, and then sign a peace agreement with Konoha as soon as possible."

When talking about the "peace agreement", Chiyo couldn't help but clench her fists, her nails digging deeply into the flesh.

Chiyo's heart was filled with resentment and pain, but reason told her that this was the best choice for Sunagakure right now, and she could only put it all aside temporarily.

"Hey"

The Third Kazekage knew the pain in Chiyo's heart, but he could only leave this matter to the other party.

The reason is that he doesn't trust other people. At critical moments, the older generation is more worthy of the Third Kazekage's trust.

After the meeting, Chiyo was on her way home.

Now, she has to face another painful decision.

That was his grandson - Scorpion.

Thinking about what my son and daughter-in-law said to me before they left, asking me to help take care of this grandson.

Now she didn't know how to talk to Scorpion, who was already 10 years old, about his parents.

Scorpion's talent as a puppeteer can be said to be the best in the history of Sand Village. Even the second generation Kazekage who developed the puppet technique is inferior to him.

I wonder how Scorpio will change after hearing this bad news.

"No, I can't tell Scorpion about Imu and June, at least not now." Chiyo also made a secret decision in her heart.

However, what Chiyo didn't know was that her decision laid the groundwork for Scorpion's later transformation into a villain.

When Chiyo returned home, she saw Scorpion playing with the puppet.

"Grandma, you're back. Where are my parents? They said they would bring me Konoha's specialty foods when they come back." Scorpion asked happily as he looked at Chiyo who came in.

"Ah, Scorpion, you made a really good puppet. It's almost as good as my grandma's." Chiyo first tried to change the subject.

However, Scorpion was still looking at him with expectant eyes.

Chiyo had to make up a lie. To her, her grandson was too young to know that his parents died in the war.

"Your parents have just returned, but Lord Kazekage seemed to have arranged for them to go out for something else. They told grandma that they will bring you double the amount of Konoha's specialty food next time they come back." Chiyo said with a forced smile, touching Scorpion's hair.

"Is that so? Okay then, grandma, I'm hungry and I want to eat." After hearing Chiyo's explanation, Scorpion said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go prepare it for my dear grandson right away." Afraid that Scorpion would notice, Chiyo immediately turned around and went into the kitchen.

What Chiyo didn't notice was that after she turned around, Scorpion's expression became gloomy.

In fact, there was no such thing as his parents helping him to bring Konoha's specialties. This was just a way for Scorpion to act coquettishly with his parents.

But unexpectedly, Chiyo accepted it.

And whether it was the abrupt change of subject or Chiyo's forced smile, Scorpion could see it, but he didn't show it.

Chiyo and Scorpion's parents were away at war all year round and neglected Scorpion who was often alone at home.

Scorpion, now 10 years old, is more mature than Chiyo imagined. He just likes to pretend to be a child in front of his family.

"Grandma, even you hid it from me." Scorpion's eyes were deep.

Scorpio is now very sure that something has happened to his parents!

He will find out the truth about what happened to his parents!

Chapter 69 End of World War II

Not to mention the reaction from Sunagakure, Konoha is very happy anyway.

After receiving the news of victory in the River Kingdom War from Hatake Sakumo, the Third Hokage immediately gave full authority to the other party regarding the signing of the peace agreement.

Konoha is so confident that the Konoha high-level officials also judged that the Sand Village will not continue to expand the war.
