"The tragedy that happened seven years ago was all caused by my mistakes."
"After the Nine-Tails incident, as the Hokage, I should have treated everyone equally, but I completely ignored the feelings of the Uchiha clan. In order to monitor them, I moved your clan to the edge of the village, which caused the atmosphere in the entire village to drop to freezing point."
"In such a terrible atmosphere, I used Sasuke's life as a bargaining chip to order Itachi Uchiha to commit an unforgivable crime."
"This is all my fault!"
"I am willing to take full responsibility."
The Third Generation, dragging his heavy body, staggered as he chased after the man's retreating figure across the ruins.
He desperately wanted to keep that person with him.
He ended up blaming himself for everything.
He didn't mention anything about the existence of Shimura Danzo, or the possible rebellion that the Uchiha clan might launch. Of course, his life was nearing its end, so he couldn't reveal all those details.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire area became exceptionally strange.
Especially the survivors of Konoha, who were in a state of grief, felt as if they had been struck deep into their hearts by an indescribable force at that moment.
What started as a united front against an intruder who had set foot on their homeland has now turned into a justified and righteous war of revenge by the other side!
Such genocidal hatred leaves no room for argument, let alone the audacity to claim that it has been let go.
More importantly, most of the casualties caused during the invasion were due to their own efforts to protect the Third Hokage. Those genin who had already surrendered or were powerless to resist were still alive and well!
This conclusion and plot twist left the remaining Konoha ninja confused and at a loss.
Is that really how it is?
【Sandaime. 】
Looking at the white-haired old man walking unsteadily in his field of vision, Kakashi Hatake felt a mix of emotions.
He had already guessed the cause.
But this is also the reason I'm most unwilling to face!
Even if there was only a one percent chance, he was willing to believe that this was a wanton war orchestrated by the 'evil' Uchiha clan.
However, this is a story told directly by the third generation leader, and there is no way to refute it.
Even though he was confident in his intelligence, which was on par with that of the Nara clan, all he could do at this moment was stand there dumbfounded.
After all, this involves the lives of thousands of Konoha ninja!
Even three years ago, when a full-scale war broke out between eastern Konoha and Kirigakure, not so many ninjas had been sacrificed!
Moreover, all of them are elites.
"Hey, Kakashi,"
"The Third Hokage must have been under some kind of genjutsu."
"It's the genjutsu that was created using the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."
Might Guy, who had lost his will due to his inability to save his companions, raised his eyes at this moment. He looked at his best friend, whom he regarded as his lifelong enemy, with pleading and hope in his eyes.
If this is indeed true, then the collapse of his faith is a minor issue; what is the real issue is how to account for the Konoha ninjas who sacrificed their lives in this war that could have been avoided.
Therefore, Matt Kai desperately wanted a positive answer at that moment.
Even if they already have an answer in their hearts.
Do the invaders, who have already overwhelmed Konoha, really need to resort to such petty tricks at the very end?
No need at all!
But his best friend, Kakashi Hatake, ultimately did not give any answer. Seeing the similarly bewildered expression on his face, he felt that a certain certainty and persistence in his heart had shattered.
Huang also stopped in his tracks at this moment.
The truth of the past was so blatantly exposed to the world by the perpetrators, leaving the victim with extremely complex emotions.
Anger, relief, gradual acceptance, and so on—all these emotions converged into a whisper in my ear:
"You did it, Huang."
Upon hearing this, the boy looked at the girl beside him, whose dark eyes were filled with tenderness and heartache.
Only she truly understands the efforts the other person has made over the years.
This effort began long before Shisui died, long before he entered the Ninja Academy.
If we absolutely had to choose a specific time point...
So it's very likely that it started when he saw this numb-looking young clansman in the crowd at the funeral caused by the Nine-Tails.
"but........"
What did Ara want to say?
Even if revenge is achieved, those innocent clansmen who died will never return.
However, he ultimately swallowed those words back, because they had lost their meaning.
"Come with me and leave this place."
He said to the spring.
All those confessions and attempts to persuade him to stay were meaningless.
What he wanted to do was lead his people away from this village that was filled with sorrow and start a new life in a new country.
As for the so-called sense of belonging, the village was founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans. What kind of founder would leave the village they established in such a sorry state?
It's unlikely that anyone in the Uchiha clan today would bring this up.
"Um,"
"Where to go, the Land of Hot Springs or the Land of Snow?"
"Hot springs and snow, both sound wonderful."
Uchiha Izumi gave a soft hum, and the worry in her eyes lessened, revealing more of her girlish side.
For a moment, it was hard to connect this with the powerful ninja who had not retreated at all when facing the three holy lands.
And it was at this moment that...
Looking at the slender figure that suddenly stopped at the edge of his vision, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to see his last hope.
So, as his eyelids began to droop involuntarily, at this moment when his life was nearing its end, he placed his final gamble on that person:
"please,"
"We urge Clan Chief Ara to set aside past grievances and remain in Konoha."
"And inherit the position of the Fifth Hokage,"
"To accomplish what I was unable to do."
This location was coveted by countless Konoha ninjas and designated as their ideal spot.
This was something that a certain one-eyed old man pursued his entire life, something he never forgot.
But at this moment, it was handed over to them.
The person who yielded was the very source of trouble he had once desperately wanted to kill!
The moment he finished speaking in a hoarse voice, the white-haired old man who had guarded Konoha for decades collapsed from exhaustion amidst the ruins.
However, his eyes were not completely closed, and his consciousness was still shallow.
Because they want a positive response!
A response that allows me to see a powerful future for Konoha!
These words immediately caused a huge uproar.
Regardless of their affiliation, powerful and wealthy merchants, ninja leaders, members of the Konoha clan, and members of the Hidden Demon faction are all alarmed by such remarks!
The Fifth Hokage
The meaning of these five extremely simple words is obviously self-evident!
Furthermore, the fusion of Konoha and the Demon Village,
That would be truly invincible!!
This was perfectly clear to the visitors.
More likely, the entire landscape of the ninja world will be changed as a result, leaving only the name of Konoha or Yokai Village.
Of course, there are also potential risks.
The blood debt incurred in this war cannot be ignored.
But if we look at it from another perspective, what are these hidden dangers compared to the huge benefits of a merger?
The Senju clan of the forest and the Uchiha clan fought fiercely and accumulated blood feuds, but in the end they chose to make peace and created the strongest village, Konoha.
No one expected the Third Generation to make such a proposal at this time.
Quan looked quietly at the boy beside her, her beautiful face unusually calm.
It seemed to be saying silently that no matter what decision the other party made, whether it was the hot springs of the Land of Hot Water, the snow of the Land of Snow, or the Leaf Village beneath her feet, she was willing to accept it.
The Uchiha clan members around them were the same.
The will of the clan chief is their will.
As for other entities such as Rainbow and experimental subjects, they are even less concerned about where they are.
Even some of the Konoha Jonin remained silent at this moment.
Despite the deep pain and humiliation they experienced in this war,
But if what the Third Hokage said is true, then perhaps this is the best thing for Konoha...
"Sharingan!"
"The evil Sharingan!!"
"It was you who used your evil Sharingan to control the Hokage, causing him to say such things!!"
"It's all for the sake of conquering the entire Hidden Leaf Village!"
