As for the Fourth Raikage's anger, he had Uchiha Ara as an outlet for it anyway.
"Yes, I've already arranged for Yamanaka Fu to do it."
"Of course, this is also at your request. After all, Yamanaka Inoichi can no longer be completely trusted."
Hearing this turn of events, Danzo Shimura gradually felt at ease.
To be fair, Uchiha Ara's ability to bring back Shikin from Kumogakure was quite a valuable bargaining chip for Konoha.
"This is just to give an explanation to the outside world."
The white-haired old man, smoking a pipe, rejected the other person's words.
It's not a good feeling to have your thoughts read by an old friend.
Yes,
He did begin to have some other thoughts about Yamanaka Inoichi, and judging from Nara Shikaku's report, the former did indeed have unique feelings for Uchiha Ara on the battlefield.
However, it didn't come to the point of complete suspicion.
The reason for letting the hidden Root organization handle the matter was twofold: first, to obtain the most objective information, and second, to demonstrate to the Hidden Cloud Village that they had not mistreated or tortured the prisoners.
After all, it's hard to say whether there are any spies from the Hidden Cloud Village in the village.
Yamanaka Inoichi's non-participation serves as some evidence.
"Yes Yes."
"Don't worry, we are on the same side when it comes to the village issue."
"For the future of Konoha, I am willing to become a root buried underground."
Shimura Danzo didn't expose or mock him; instead, he immediately stood up, leaning on his cane, and walked towards the door. After all, he was quite interested in information about Kumogakure.
However, what the wind in the mountains sees is destined not to be the original.
After waking up, Huang pried open Xi's eyelids and used the kaleidoscope to enter his memories.
[This guy, and that Darui, are both troublemakers.]
This was his most direct feeling after reviewing Xi's memories.
Those two guys were able to deduce the general outline of the event from a tattered page of a barrier talisman and the chaotic footsteps on the battlefield. Such terrifying behavior truly sent chills down my spine.
Ara's initial idea was to use the speculation from Kirigakure to create a scenario in Hi's mind where Killer Bee and the two Yugitos ambushed Ao and the vanguard.
However, he eventually dismissed such a thought.
Because Yagura Karatachi also took a Cloud Village ninja with him in the end, they must have had a way to search for relevant memories from the other party's mind.
Even if they ended up in court, Huang wouldn't care.
However, in order to get rid of the slenderness more naturally, he still chose to transplant another memory, or rather, a little Easter egg: under the hood of a Kirigakure ninja in his memory, there appeared a swirling one-eyed mask.
This small object is inconspicuous from the perspective of the person in question, but it looks quite different to an observer.
Aside from altering Xi's memories, the biggest benefit Ara gained was:
A systematic medical ninjutsu training program!
After all, this guy was the Fourth Raikage's personal guard and was known as an all-around ninja skilled in sensory perception, genjutsu, and medical techniques.
His memories are full of treasures!!
Chapter 228 It was you who chose me first.
On the third day,
The third day of victory on Konoha's eastern border.
The gloomy sky was as if covered by a black curtain, and there was a faint rumble of thunder in the sky.
Looking at the neatly folded black clothes beside the bed, a trace of confusion and sorrow flashed in Huang's eyes.
Two hundred and ninety-three people,
This is the number of Konoha ninja who died in this battle on the eastern border.
Today is their memorial service.
Furthermore, in this battle, over a hundred Konoha ninjas, even after recovering, were unable to continue living as ninjas.
They are all elites at the Chunin level or above.
Huang thought he could face this matter calmly and confront this data directly.
But when those vibrant names faded into darkness, and when the crowd welcoming them on the day of their return was filled with barely suppressed sobs...
He knew he couldn't completely ignore it.
Ultimately,
The trigger for this incident was itself.
'call.'
The exhalation of the weighing process stretched through the dark space. After an unknown amount of time, he began to put on the neatly folded clothes beside him. The black fabric gradually covered the white bandages that covered his entire body.
If it weren't for the power of the Firefly Grass that healed his broken body in an instant, and if it weren't for the 'gift' from the Kaguya clan, perhaps his path as a ninja would have required a very long time to recover before it could be restarted.
After fastening the headband engraved with leaf shapes, Huang opened the door. A graceful young girl stood at the entrance of the courtyard, seemingly having been waiting there for a long time.
"morning."
Gazing at the boy who had suddenly appeared in her line of sight, the girl parted her teeth slightly, her clean and beautiful eyes rippling with emotion, and even her breathing seemed to quicken slightly.
The black dress accentuated the girl's slender and tall figure, her long, smooth hair was gently tied back with a simple black hair tie, and the beauty mark at the corner of her right eye added a unique touch of gentleness.
"Good morning, spring."
Huang paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and tried to clear his mind as he responded, afraid that the other party might notice something.
Because the scene of the girl silently cleaning and bandaging his wounds with tears streaming down her face these past few days was already deeply imprinted in his soul and could not be erased.
He didn't want Quan to worry anymore.
"Let's go."
After walking a few steps to the girl's side, Huang spoke first, and his previously somewhat suppressed voice switched to its usual normal tone.
"Ah."
Quan gave a soft hum and followed.
"No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
"As long as you turn back."
She added softly, her voice calm.
'despair. ’
Upon hearing this, Huang, who was half a step ahead, suddenly stopped. The unease in his heart, which he had been trying to suppress, was inexplicably soothed at this moment.
"Thank you."
He didn't know what to say.
Don't know what to say.
During this time, he felt that his entire senses were filled with the other person's presence.
"That's not right."
"It was you who chose me first."
.........
The streets of Konoha were oppressive, just like the gloomy sky.
No shops were open along the way, and the pedestrians rarely interacted; they simply walked in the same direction without prior arrangement.
When Ara led the Uchiha clan to appear, the oppressive atmosphere around them suddenly became even stranger, filled with disgust, fear, rejection, and a desire to avoid them at all costs.
At the beginning of the war, everyone was united in their hatred of the enemy, and any other voices were weakened in the face of the Hidden Mist Village, an external enemy.
But after the war ended, some voices burst forth like mushrooms after rain.
Because of protecting Uchiha Ara, hundreds of ninjas died and hundreds of families were broken. Was such a price really worth it?
Even if the boy at the center of the incident also led a group there, what difference would it make?
Isn't this how it should be?
Even if he captured and brought back high-ranking officials from Kumogakure, what does that prove?
It should be noted that such spoils of war were acquired at the cost of the innocent deaths of dozens of Konoha ninja!
Most importantly, what methods will the Hidden Cloud Village use next?
Uchiha, after all, are Uchiha!
A selfish and evil family that only cares about itself!!
Too many accusations and slanders flew around during these three days, and even the mountain tribe was implicated, because the tribe's chief had publicly rebuked some of the commentators in a fit of anger.
That guy ultimately didn't heed Huang's warning.
Of course, it wasn't just Yamanaka Inoichi; Hinata, Sarutobi Asuma, and Kurenai Yuhi also voiced their opposition to such remarks.
But these voices were ultimately drowned out by the prevailing trend.
In particular, the subsequent attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village was like a sword hanging over the hearts of the residents of Konoha, making it hard for them to breathe.
No one wants to start another war.
No one wants their family members, who have survived by chance, to once again step into the bloody 'meat grinder' for that evil family.
During these few days, the Third Hokage naturally said nothing and offered no words of comfort.
Just like the Nine-Tails' rampage in the past,
His mind was focused on the subsequent memorial service.
The memorial service was held on the platform of the Hokage Building.
