Chapter 263 The Future of Konoha

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Yan slowly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him gradually changed from blurred to clear.

The light here is very dark, the temperature is cool, and the humidity in the air is also very high. The surrounding stone walls are not smooth and basically elliptical. This should be a cave.

After moving his body slightly, Xia Yan felt that he was only slightly sore, except that he was still mentally tired, but there was no major problem.

Xia Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so he sat up directly and stretched his shins.

"The consumption this time is really a bit unexpected."

Xia Yan smiled wryly, and soon all the memories he needed appeared in his mind.

He couldn't remember the specifics a few days ago, he just remembered that he dragged his tired body towards the direction of Konoha's army.

Because the Chakra was consumed too much, even though the Chakra in his body had been recovering continuously, it seemed like a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, Konoha's troops also came to meet him, which prevented Xia Yan from falling to the ground and falling asleep because of being too exhausted.

Although according to Xia Yan's performance, it is not a shame for him to sleep on the side of the road.

You must know that he relied on his own power to quell a war that was probably the largest after the three wars, and it can be said that he destroyed Yunyin's large army unscathed.

But Xia Yan didn't want to show such a dumbfounding expression when he turned his head just after pretending to be aggressive.

However, Konoha's stronghold was also affected by the battle between Xia Yan and Yun Yin. Obviously, there was no way to continue to use that stronghold.

Therefore, Konoha's large army is now gathered in a mountain forest in the Land of Fire, and they have no intention of heading back to Konoha.

Obviously, they were waiting for Xia Yan to wake up, and at the same time they were making the final rest before returning to Konoha.

"Minister Xia Yan, are you awake?" At this moment, Nara Shikahisa rushed in after getting the news.

His face was full of worry, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Xia Yan wake up. After all, Xia Yan had been in a coma for a long time.

"Thank you for your concern, I think I'm fine, Minister Lu Jiu."

Xia Yan showed a smile, he nodded slightly and then asked.

"What's going on with the troops now, I don't know much about other than where the troops are placed after I come back.

If Minister Lu Jiu is not in a hurry, please tell me everything that happened in the past few days of my cultivation. "

"It's natural. I will naturally tell Minister Xia Yan about these things." Nara Shikahisa nodded, and his expression began to calm down slightly.

He stared at Xia Yan, looking at Xia Yan's young face, he really couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

It was really hard for him to connect this guy Xia Yan with the terrifying guy who galloped through the cloud ninja army a few days ago and solved the 8000-strong army by himself.

But the fact is that Xia Yan really did all this by himself.

And what he did can't be said to be unprecedented, but it is very likely that it will be unprecedented.

With such power, coupled with all his previous arrangements, Nara Shikahisa felt that Xia Yan's inner ambition - becoming Hokage was basically not difficult!

And the current Nara Shikahisa actually regards Xia Yan as Hokage, as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village.

Thinking of this, Nara Shikahisa showed a smile, he faced Xia Yan with the same attitude as he faced Hokage, except that the title had not changed.

"Minister Xia Yan, the situation of the troops is good now, although due to some irreversible factors, the troops have suffered considerable losses."

Having said that, Shikahisa Nara paused slightly, he glanced at Xia Yan and at the same time a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

And Xia Yan also seemed a little embarrassed, because he knew what Nara Shikaku meant, and it was obvious that he caused too much damage when he launched an attack with his real thousand hands.

And this kind of destructive power spread to Konoha's side without any suspense.

However, Xia Yan didn't have too many thoughts. Probably, this war killed more people at one time than he had traveled to the world of Hokage for more than ten years combined.

And his strength has indeed reached the point where at this point in time, he can fly in the sky and touch himself with hairspray.

Therefore, whether it is the loss of the ninjas on Konoha's side, or the damage caused by himself, he seems relatively calm.

"But Minister Xia Yan, don't worry, everyone understands this situation, because everyone knows that if you confront Yun Yin head-on, more people will die."

After Nara Shikahisa adjusted his state slightly, he continued to speak.

"Facing all this alone, Minister Xia Yan has completely minimized our loss.

What's more, with Minister Xia Yan's release of such a large force, there is no way to completely control the spread and spread of the force.

Now everyone's mentality is very good, and I have conveyed and explained why Minister Xia Yan waited until now to act.

The explanation I gave is that it takes time for Minister Xia Yan to build up his strength, and only in the current terrain can he better solve Yun Ren and prevent them from escaping.

War kills people. As ninjas, everyone knows this very well. Now everyone is very happy that they have lost so little. I also hope that Minister Xia Yan will not take it to heart. "

Shikahisa Nara explained in detail, although he didn't talk much, he also explained some of the situation during this period of time.

The only thing that made Xia Yan frowned was, did the feelings caused by his emotions in the end affect more people than Yunyin killed himself?
In fact, Xia Yan has always been known as a 'teammate killer', and he had no choice but to give up a teammate when he first entered Anbu.

Afterwards, considering his own interests, he did not hesitate to kill Nanmu who was biased towards Danzo, and the owl who sent the letter with Xia Yan.

It can be said that the number of teammates killed by Xia Yan is actually not small, but this time the impact is wider and larger.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan didn't bother to think about these questions anymore, he thought for a while before asking.

"So, is there any statistics on casualties, and what is the situation on Konoha's side?"

This time Xia Yan lowered his voice a lot, and Nara Shikahisa's eyes shone slightly.

He knew what Xia Yan cared about Konoha's things, and Nara Shikahisa also had concerns in his heart.

Just like the attitude he is showing now, he also intends to use his actions to match his attitude.

And Xia Yan deserves his attitude!

The change in Nara Shikahisa's heart has actually gone through some changes.

From the very beginning, he helped Kaiichi Yamanaka get closer to Xia Yan, and his original intention was just to get closer to the Fourth Hokage, because the Fourth Hokage was closer to them anyway.

It's just that he soon discovered that Xia Yan was really extraordinary. Even Nara Shikaku felt a little terrified by his city and means.

Later, when he realized that Xia Yan made the newspaper, and that many public opinions in Konoha were written by Xia Yan, Nara Shikahisa was basically sure of Xia Yan's desire for Hokage.

It's just that Xia Yan is too young, even if this is an advantage, it is also a disadvantage.

For example, Xia Yan's lack of merit is an abyss that stuck Xia Yan and continued to move forward.

And at the moment when Yunyin Village put pressure on Konoha and the war was about to break out, Nara Shikahisa decided to completely stand by Xia Yan's side.

In addition to the pressure, there is also a real intention to try to see where Xia Yan can go.

And Xia Yan's performance is constantly refreshing Nara Shikahisa's cognition of him, no matter in terms of strength or thinking, Nara Shikaku has to admire.

Although Xia Yan gave him a certain promise, such a promise can be regarded as a blank check.

Before it is fulfilled, it will always be nothing more than a 'promise'.

But now Xia Yan has used his own strength to forcibly prove that he can fulfill all the promises he made, and relying on this war, he has also completed the accumulation of military exploits!

To put it bluntly, Xia Yan at this moment has the qualifications of Hokage, and even if Xia Yan left Konoha, he did not relax his control and promotion of Konoha.

At this time in Konoha, the reputation of the third Hokage is very ugly, which has proved this point, but Xia Yan has always been preparing for all this.

It can be said that Shikuhisa Nara is completely convinced now, because Xia Yan is not just a question of potential, he is definitely the biggest pillar of Konoha!

"In terms of casualties, a total of 600 people died on Konoha's side, and more than 500 people were injured."

Thinking of this, Shikahisa Nara simply stated what he knew, but he only gave a number on the death list.

He didn't classify who died at what time, and he may even only briefly mention this aspect of the report.

"As for Konoha, Minister Xia Yan's record has been sent back to Konoha.

Although it is not very specific, I think the moment when we return to Konoha will be the highest peak. "

Having said that, Nara Lujiu listened, while Xia Yan nodded silently.

But soon, Xia Yan suddenly said: "Minister Lu Jiu controlled the speed and amount of information transmission back, right?"

"It's not considered control, it's just passed back in batches." Nara Shikahisa said with a smile.

What he said basically admitted that he did it, and Xia Yan could guess his purpose, after all, he had already said it so thoroughly.

What he wants is that Xia Yan can thoroughly enjoy the halo brought by the winner when he returns to Konoha!

It has to be said that Nara Shikaku is really good at it, and his actions can definitely maximize Xia Yan's interests.

"Is that so, then Minister Lu Jiu will work hard." Xia Yan nodded with a smile: "Maybe after we go back, we can also make some preparations, such as letting the third generation of adults realize their shortcomings, and then"

"This matter cannot be rushed, but it is indeed worth preparing." Nara Shikahisa responded calmly: "I think Minister Xia Yan should have made up his mind, then we will cooperate with Minister Xia Yan."

Having said the words to such an extent, Xia Yan can also be sure that he is completely supported by Shikahisa Nara.

Before that, Xia Yan knew that Nara Shikahisa supported him, but Xia Yan hadn't fully demonstrated his strength at that time, so he didn't go too deep.

He just made a simple test and gave some promises, but Nara Shikahisa showed very good cooperation at that time.

But now he can be said to be more cooperative, although the degree is similar to before, but it also makes Xia Yan more satisfied.

"Then Minister Lu Jiu will have to worry a lot about this matter." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"I will do what I should do well, and please rest assured Minister Xia Yan." Nara Shikahisa didn't say much, but his promise was reassuring.

Xia Yan nodded lightly. It can be said that this conversation is more effective than the previous conversation on benefit distribution.

At that time, Xia Yan didn't fully demonstrate his strength, he just showed extraordinary potential.

But now, although Xia Yan still has extraordinary potential, but to say bluntly at this time, Xia Yan can get everything he wants even by force.

But Xia Yan still maintained restraint, or Xia Yan, who had always been powerful from the beginning to the end, was maintaining restraint.

Although unscrupulous people are scary, they are also likely to arouse everyone's resentment and resistance, but restrained people are different.

Such a person is more popular and terrifying than that unscrupulous guy.

"Minister Xia Yan!"

"Minister Xia Yan!"

At this moment, the other patriarchs seemed to get the news, and they rushed over quickly.

It can be seen that they are all very excited now, but Xia Yan also noticed that there were a few unlucky guys who were even a little bit injured.

This made Xia Yan feel once again that the power of his real thousands of hands was too much, and at the same time, Konoha's large army retreated a little too slowly.

"Minister Xia Yan, you're finally awake." Hinata Hyuzu was the most excited one, and if he wasn't worried that he was going too far, he would have wanted to post it.

Although Yunyin provoked this war, one of the key triggers was the Hyuga clan!

At this time, Xia Yan resolved the war by himself, which not only saved Konoha, but also saved their family.

"I'm fine, don't worry, thank you for your concern." Xia Yan smiled and nodded at everyone, he really couldn't accept such enthusiasm.

But he also knows that such enthusiasm will definitely become normal in the future.

After a few brief exchanges with each patriarch, Xia Yan then turned his attention to Shikahisa Nara.

"Minister Lu Jiu, since I've woken up, let's get ready to go. After all, we've been out for so long, and everyone wants to go home."

"I understand, Minister Xia Yan, we will set off tomorrow!"

In Muye Village, there is an atmosphere of peace and joy everywhere at this time.

Battle reports from the frontlines were being sent back constantly, and newspapers were also constantly reporting everything about this war.

The residents of Konoha felt unbelievable from the beginning when Xia Yandan killed a hundred sneak attacking Yunnin, and then Xia Yan alone defeated the thousand-man army led by Raikage.

Because they never thought that the minister of Konoha Anbe would actually have such a powerful power!

But in any case, they believe that neither the battle reports nor the newspapers would make fun of such things, because this is related to Konoha's war this time.

For a long time after that, the war between Konoha and Yun Yin fell into a stalemate. According to reports, Konoha was pressing Yun Yin to fight.

Because Xia Yan wounded the mighty fourth-generation Raikage, which caused that Raikage had to recuperate, and Konoha could also attack unscrupulously.

Such a situation is a good thing for Konoha as a whole, after all, Yun Yin's lineup is too strong.

Even if there are a lot of patriarchs on Konoha's side, they will unconsciously feel "not good enough" when facing such low-handed players as Jinchuriki and Kage.

Now that Konoha's large army has gone up to now, it is basically good news. This unreal and extremely real feeling really surprised the residents of Konoha.

And this kind of battle report also made Hiruzaru Sarutobi's original decision seem so unreliable.

They really couldn't understand why, as Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be so unconfident in Konoha?
This kind of incomprehension already exists, and the intensity of the newspaper's dissemination is really not a joke.

In line with Konoha's current results in the front line, this kind of incomprehension and distrust has reached a peak.

It's just that such a peak is only what the residents and Sarutobi Hiruzen think.

When the final battle report was sent back, no one would forget that day, what kind of dead silence the whole Konoha fell into.

Everyone couldn't believe the reports they saw in their hands, because such reports were too magical.

This report is very simple, and the space it occupies is not too large. There is only one core content-Konoha's commander-in-chief Senju Natsuhiko killed all the enemies by himself!

This report directly confused everyone, and many people even speculated whether this was an April Fool's event.

But soon, new news came back from the front line, ranging from interviews with frontline ninjas to photos from the front line.

All of this shows one thing, that is, Xia Yan really did it by himself!

Especially when the photos from the front line came back, many residents of Konoha recognized where that place was, and they all knew that it used to be a plain.

But now in the photo, that place has completely turned into ruins, and even purgatory is not an exaggeration to describe it!

And in the dictation of the ninjas on the front line, Xia Yan used a super wooden escape that covered the sky and covered the sun, and only in this way did he solve all the enemies.

This approach also made all Konoha residents unconsciously think of the first generation of Hokage, and think of the person who quelled the war in the ninja world by himself.

At this moment, within Konoha, Xia Yan's reputation has reached a peak.

And when all the information was passed on, all the Konoha residents got an extremely exciting news again.

That is, Konoha's large army is about to return, which makes them even more excited.

Almost everyone decided spontaneously that they must welcome their heroes back!

Some people are happy while others are sad. This is an eternal law. After all, the joys of people are not interlinked, even within Konoha.

In Hokage's office, Hiruzaru Sarutobi stood quietly by the window, he silently watched the people who had already fallen into the carnival outside the window without saying a word.

He looks calm, but his inner complexity has also reached a peak.

To be honest, he was seized power this time, and he did not participate in the deployment of the front line throughout the course of the war.

Perhaps the only thing he did was to ensure the safety of the logistics, but that was all.

It can be said that Konoha's great master this time has nothing to do with him.

Moreover, Xia Yan said this time that the strength he constantly showed not only made him feel more gratified, but also his pressure began to increase.

As Hokage, he certainly knew that if the newspaper hadn't messed around, then the power Xia Yan used was definitely the most secret and powerful technique of the first generation of Hokage.

That jutsu is True Thousand Hands, the super ninjutsu that can destroy a ninja village!

Xia Yan can use this technique, which means that Xia Yan's strength may have completely reached the point of Qianshou Zhujian.

It is self-evident what it means for Muye Village to appear in Qianshouzhujian once.

With Xia Yan, Konoha can definitely reach the pinnacle of ninja world again!

Even though Konoha is still very weak now, no one dares to have any unreasonable thoughts about Konoha, isn't Yunyin the best example.

What's more, Xia Yan is not just a simple 'thousand-handed column room', he has mastered the 'thousand-handed door room' of the flying thunder god technique!

It's just that Xia Yan showed such strength, coupled with his current reputation in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen really felt the indescribable threat.

Such threats have always existed, but they have never been as strong as at this moment.

He knew Xia Yan's ambition and his purpose, but he didn't think this moment would come so early.

But in fact, all of this has come quietly, and it has come so quickly and so unprepared.

"Ri Zhan, what should we do now?"

Turning to sleep Xiaoharu who had been standing behind Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't bear the current silence, so she couldn't help asking.

"Yes, Ri Zhan, our current situation is very pessimistic."

Mitomen Yan couldn't help it at this moment, he was really irritated by the current situation.

And what he said was still light, his old friend Sarutobi Hiruzen is far from being as simple as optimistic now.

It can be said that Hiruzaru Sarutobi's reputation in Konoha has completely fallen into the ice valley at this time!

That Qianshou Xiayan's performance is no longer as simple as being strong, he is simply standing on the clouds overlooking all living beings.

Faced with such a person, they are really full of despair, but they have to find a way to try to fight back.

If they don't do anything, then they really don't have to do anything in the future!
What they didn't expect was that Hiruzaru Sarutobi just sighed deeply, and then opened his mouth slowly.

"What else can we do now?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked, "We can't do anything now."

"Are we going to sit and wait like this?" Mito Menyan asked eagerly, "Will you just watch this kid ride on our heads like this?"

"Is there anything else you can do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "Now we can only take one step at a time."

After saying this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi once again focused on the cheering crowd, but he was silently chanting a sentence in his heart.

I just hope that Qianshou Xiayan won't kill them all.
Xia Yan didn't know that Hiruzaru Sarutobi had acquiesced to the fact that he had failed at this time.

In fact, even if Xia Yan knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't be surprised. After all, this time Xia Yan has already got everything he wants and should get!

He didn't give anyone a chance, so it's not unusual for Sarutobi Hiruzen to have such an idea.

At this time, Xia Yan was leading the large troops towards Konoha, and it had been nearly half a month since Xia Yan announced his departure.

Although Konoha's ninjas are eager to return to their hearts, they can't stand up to the huge army, and their movement is really not as convenient as the one in the phenomenon.

And they don't have a war mission, so naturally they won't rush as hard as when they set off.

They are more in a relaxed state on the way back, so their speed is really not fast.

But no matter how slow they are, they are still ninjas, and they have been getting close to Konoha for more than half a month.

"It feels really good to be back." Xia Yan said with a smile while walking, "Although I have only been away for two or three months, I don't know why I always feel as if I have been away for a long time."

"It is true, but we have returned anyway." Nara Shikahisa said with a smile: "Maybe war is like this. In fact, we ninjas are war machines, but I don't think we will like war."

Nara Lujiu suddenly broke out such a seemingly philosophical sentence, but Xia Yan suddenly didn't know what to say.

But what he has to admit is that this sentence is quite correct.

The profession of ninja itself is indeed the biggest beneficiary of the war, because their abilities are destined to be war machines one after another.

But the essence of a ninja is still a human being, not a real machine, or a tool that only obeys orders.

That guy in Danzo is so crazy to define all his subordinates as tools, but what is the final result?
Although it is true that some people have become tools, in the original book, Yamato, Sai, and even that dead brother Sai are all representatives who are unwilling to become tools.

They all betrayed Danzang one by one. In a sense, they really embarrassed Danzang.

Humans are complex animals. Although humans do have obedience, they also have their own beliefs.

Maybe Danzo can use the belief of "guarding Konoha" to restrain these people, but once some people awaken or discover Danzo's true intentions.

Then the word betrayal may become the main theme of Danzo.

Shaking his head lightly, Xia Yan didn't bother to think about such profound things, and now they had already walked to Konoha's gate.

"Look, they are back!"

"The heroes are back!"

"Lord Xia Yan! It's Lord Xia Yan!"

"Long live Lord Xia Yan!"

When Xia Yan and the others just walked into Konoha's gate, cheers like a 'tsunami' swept them directly.

Looking around, there is a mighty scene of a "sea of ​​people" near the Konoha gate.

Not only villagers and ordinary ninjas, but also the third generation of Hokage and Konoha high-level officials came.

The violent cheers were deafening, and they constantly stimulated everyone's nerves.

Seeing such a large-scale cheering scene, even a somewhat indifferent person like Xia Yan felt inexplicably excited at this moment.

I have to say that this feeling is surprisingly fascinating, and it is also surprisingly memorable.

Raising his head slightly, Xia Yan's eyes quickly locked on Sarutobi Hiruzen, what made him feel very interesting was that Sarutobi Hiruzen was so calm at this moment.

But the two consultants standing behind him looked very unfriendly towards Xia Yan, and both of them looked very ugly.

However, Xia Yan didn't have the heart to pay attention to them. These two consultants might indeed have some abilities, but to Xia Yan, their abilities were simply dispensable.

"I hope you don't know what is good and what is bad. After all, I am a person who dares to strike hard, both internally and externally."

Xia Yan murmured silently, and then he led the troops directly towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still Konoha's Hokage at this time, and Xia Yan is just the head of Konoha's Anbe, and the two of them still have a natural relationship.

Even if Xia Yan has always wanted to 'replace it', he still has to show respect when it's time to show respect.

Otherwise, he would do this all the time, and in the future some 'insects' who wanted to replace him would also follow suit, and Xia Yan would not be happy.

"Master Hokage." Xia Yan bowed slightly, and said softly, "Fortunately, we have completed the task."

No matter how lively Konoha was at this time, his voice was still clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

At this moment, all the cheers stopped abruptly, and their eyes were extremely excited and locked on Xia Yan, and at the same time fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the young man in front of him, he sighed silently in his heart, but soon he returned to a normal state of mind.

This is a moment to be happy, this is a moment to cheer, and this is also the moment for Konoha to rise again!
At this moment, he is unwilling to have other thoughts, because this moment belongs to Konoha and belongs to everyone.

"Thank you, thank you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly: "Thank you all, all those who have paid for this war!"

"You are all heroes, you are all Konoha's heroes!"

"Especially you, Natsuhiko Senju, you are Konoha's future, and Konoha's future depends on you!"

 Merry Christmas everyone~
