Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 140 Termination

Shuhe was defeated, Orochimaru retreated, and the attack on Konoha Village did not make substantial progress at this time, all of which showed that the invasion plan of Shayin Village and Yinnin Village had failed.

With the withdrawal of the two main characters, Orochimaru and Yakushidou, the ninjas of Yinnin Village began to retreat gradually. In contrast, the ninjas of Shayin Village had no choice but to admit their fate of failure when faced with this situation. Withdrew from Konoha Village.

At the same time, Maji also led the ninjas of Hidden Sand Village to search for the whereabouts of Gaara. It was not difficult to find Gaara because of the great momentum caused by Shuzuru and Gama Hiroshi.

Morinoi Hiki had already escorted Shikamaru, who was almost collapsed, back to the village with Neiji Hinata, although it seemed very tempting on the surface to capture Gaara, a man from Hidden Sand Village, back to Konoha Power, but reason still defeated the greed of Morino Ibiki.

This credit is a hot potato. Even if Shayin Village and Otonin Village invaded Konoha, Morino Ibiki believes that including the fire country daimyo and Hokage, they are not willing to disrupt the balance between the five major countries. After Konoha's victory, You can pay additional compensation, coerce the hidden sand village, and propose harsh treaties, but you will not be willing to disintegrate the hidden sand village.

The Hidden Sand Village, which represented the military power of the Kingdom of Wind, collapsed, resulting in nothing more than two points. The huge land of the Kingdom of Wind was divided up, or the Kingdom of Wind found a ninja organization that could replace Hidden Sand Village.

The former will inevitably lead to wars between major powers to compete for territory, while the latter, the attitude of a new military organization towards Konoha is unpredictable, and Konoha or other ninja villages will interfere or guide this The establishment and intention of Ninja Village, the struggle is still inevitable.

Renzhuli is an important combat power of Hidden Sand Village. When it comes to the importance on the battlefield, it is only inferior to Kazekage as the leader of the village. Although it is only one tail, it can be used in the special environment of the Kingdom of Wind. With strength beyond itself, without him, the strength of Hidden Sand Village will be greatly weakened, and it will be difficult to maintain the detached status of the Five Great Ninja Villages, thus ensuring the huge territory of the Kingdom of Wind.

In the end, Muye Village will still return Shuhe to Shayin Village, but the power of the tailed beast is so important, and if reciprocal conditions are proposed at that time, it may be difficult for Shayin Village to pay, but if it is given a small profit, it may be underestimated , is not as good as it is now, reflecting that Muye Village has the power to defeat the tailed beast, so as to silently warn Shaying Village.

In today's battle, Morinoi Hiki and Konoha may not only not hide it, but may spread it out to deter all other organizations, including Shayin Village, who are eyeing and coveting Konoha.

Although there is a lot of help, but as a ninja, he was able to defeat Shuzuru at the last moment, which already represents the strength and future potential of Shikamaru and Konoha Village!

…………

At the end of the battle, Konoha ninjas who had nothing to worry about rushed to the chunin exam venue and gathered on the high platform where Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Orochimaru fought.

Chiba Gen carefully used Chakra to sense whether there was any trace of vitality left in Hiruzaru Sarutobi's body, but unfortunately, the Chakra input into the old man's body was like sinking into the sea, and there was no reaction at all.

"... Hokage-sama died." Chiba Gen was silent for a long time, and finally broke the silence with a difficult voice.

Including Sarutobi Asma, everyone in the field heard Chiba Gen's words and did not act excessively. They are not ordinary people with fragile hearts, but ninjas who take fighting as their profession. Parting between life and death is a common thing, Chiba Minamoto had repeatedly confirmed it, and finally spoke at this time, apparently [-]% sure of the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

A depressive atmosphere gradually spread.

"Master Jiraiya." Wearing the uniform of the captain of the dark part, Yamato with a mask on his face came to the side of Jiraiya with his arms folded and expressionless, and whispered: "Although it seems that this is not the time, but I There are still things to report.”

Hiru Sarutobi killed himself, and the Anbu troops directly under Hokage had no leader. As a member of Anbu, Yamato should report to the three Konoha advisors, Koharu Mitomon and Danzo Shimura, but at this time Laiya showed up publicly, and most of the Konoha villagers knew that no one in Konoha Village was more qualified to serve as the fifth Hokage than this man, so after a little hesitation, Yamato said to Jiraiya: "Orochi When Maru left, I found that he seemed to be seriously injured."

Jiraiya frowned slightly after hearing this, looked at Yamato, and signaled him to continue talking.

"Oshemaru's hands seem to be inconvenient, and he was carried away by the ninja of Otonin Village when he left." Yamato thought carefully, thinking of the situation he observed at the time, and said with some hesitation: "And his two The hands don't quite look like the hands of a living person... but like the hands of a long-dead corpse."

Jiraiya's heart moved after hearing Yamato's words, and he came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, squatted down and observed carefully.

Sarutobi's abdomen was ripped open, the seal of the ghoul was very conspicuous, and Jiraiya observed it carefully for a while, and suddenly felt very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, it turns out that this seal is the same as the seal of Nine Tails on Uzumaki Naruto's body. The technique was exactly the same, which made Jiraiya frowned secretly, and muttered to himself: "This is the ninjutsu of Minato Seal Kyuubi."

Jiraiya shifted his gaze away from the seal, and when he saw the frozen smile on the face of Sarutobi Hiruzen's corpse, his heart sank.

"I see..." Jiraiya stared at the smile on Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face, and thoughts flashed through his mind, thinking of Orochimaru's lifelong pursuit of ninjutsu, the abnormality of Orochimaru's hands that Yamato saw, Minato Seal Nine Tail's ninjutsu, and this weird smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face...

Jiraiya also gradually understood, looked at Hiruzaru Sarutobi with an extremely complicated expression, and said to Yamato in a low voice: "Mr. technique!"

"The ninjutsu used by Minato to seal the Kyuubi is definitely not simple." Jiraiya is worthy of being a top ninja well known by Konoha and even the ninja world. Guy, it's impossible to heal your hands."

"Tsunade!" Jiraiya was thinking about who could heal Orochimaru's hands, and a name came to mind immediately.

Known as the strongest female ninja, Senju Tsunade, known for her medical ninjutsu, is also known as "Konoha Sannin" with Orochimaru and Jiraiya. , and will definitely think of finding Tsunade to treat him at the first time.

"Inform advisor Koharu and Mitomon Yan of this matter immediately!" Jiraiya hesitated a little, but still did not mention Shimura Danzo's name. Shimura Danzo didn't feel the slightest favor.

But Jiraiya also has a little worry in his heart. He knows that even if Yamato doesn't inform Shimura Danzo, there will probably be an eyeliner to inform the other party of the news. Hiruzaru Sarutobi sacrificed himself. No one in this village can suppress this ambitious man. militarists!

…………

Although people cannot completely forget the trauma caused by the war, the lives of the living must go on.

Even Konoha Village, the victor of this war, inevitably suffered many casualties. At this time, Hiruza Sarutobi's pre-made arrangements came into play. The command and various departments are still cooperating with the medical department in an orderly manner to rescue the wounded, extinguish the fire and disaster, and minimize the loss of Muye Village.

Konoha Hospital was reorganized immediately, and all the medical ninjas and medical staff returned here quickly to maintain the rescue work.

Morinoi Hiki still had important information to report, and as a senior ninja, he also had work to command, so Hinata Neji sent Shikamaru to Konoha Hospital.

The hospital was not busy and crowded. Muye Village did a good job in emergency evacuation of ordinary people. There were few casualties of ordinary people. Most of the wounded were ninjas on the front line of the battlefield. With the number of ninjas in Muye Village, it was difficult to congest them. Fill this huge medical building.

The busy Chiba Gen took the time to look at Shikamaru's condition. Fortunately, his injury was not serious. The main reason was excessive consumption of Chakra and loss of strength. He used medical ninjutsu to heal for a while, and Chiba Gen prescribed Shikamaru another Sleep medicine, which is a drug for deep sleep, can effectively relieve fatigue during sleep.

Almost at the same time after Shikamaru took the medicine and fell asleep, Nara Shikuhisa and Nara Yoshino came to the ward quickly. There were signs of fighting on their bodies, and their faces were tired, but they did not The intention of taking a little rest is just to look worriedly at Shikamaru who is lying on the hospital bed sleeping soundly.

Nara Yoshino's eyes were full of love and affection that a mother should have. Even though she herself had just finished the tragic fight, she didn't take it seriously at all. On the contrary, seeing Shikamaru lying on the hospital bed at this time, she felt a burst of fear.

Yoshino Nara moved over to a small wooden stool next to her, and sat beside Shikamaru, her slender fingers gently brushed Shikamaru's forehead, her face was worried, she took off her usual fierce appearance, she was always Shikamaru's mother.
