The White-eyed Princess Behind the Leaf's Curtain

It was night, and Fugaku drank a lot of tea, but he still didn't feel relieved until the next day.

When Itachi returned home from his mission, he saw his drunken father.

He was the calmest one, and he felt that his father had deep meaning in doing these things.

Fugaku also forced himself to consider Itachi's strength at that time, and he was naturally very satisfied with the result.

The eight-year-old Sharingan can be said to be very early.

Especially before this, Itachi had already reached the level of a chuunin, and now with the addition of the Sharingan, Fugaku thought that he could use it after accumulating tasks for a while.

But when he was about to do this, Fugaku recalled some episodes and then temporarily gave up on this decision.

Mainly because he felt that he could temporarily slow down the decision.

After all, he already had a new path.

The relationship between the heads of the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan should have been a very nerve-wracking thing for the village's senior leaders, but this time it did not cause any fluctuations.

At least it's very calm on the surface.

It is also for this reason that after receiving the corresponding contract in the Raikage's office in Hidden Cloud Village, the fourth generation Raikage Ai did not express any objection to it.

Konoha showed too much unity.

He just asked about the process: "How did Lu Ren and the others achieve this result in this meeting?"

"This is the entire process of their negotiation." Raikage's guard had already brought up the relevant records.

It was also because of this that the Fourth Raikage understood all the operations of his family.

Even the guards next to him had their veins exposed at this time, and they wanted to question those people.

Because they failed.

Even if they just sign a contract normally, they will not be held accountable.

The problem is that they did more than necessary and failed in the end, causing the village to suffer losses.

The latter is the key point.

If they succeed, then there are no other words, they must be heroes.

After all, Cloud Hidden Village was not much better than Konoha after the war.

In the entire ninja world, among the five major ninja villages, Konoha often ranks first.No ninja village dares to say that they can fight Konoha without breaking their muscles and bones.

Even at the beginning they were still fighting.

If it had been a fair one-on-one fight from the beginning, Konoha would have unified the ninja world by now.

Although they, Yunyin Village, had the upper hand, now they chose to reconcile because they really couldn't bear the corresponding losses.

If we can fight, we must continue to fight and take advantage of Konoha's weakness.

After all, Konoha has not always been strong.

There was a time when people in Konoha were beaten to their doorstep.

It can be said that without the first generation of Konoha, although it is still number one, there is no qualitative gap with other ninja villages.

Before the death of the first generation, the ninja world had been peaceful for more than ten years. Everyone dressed up as a good person under the threat of the first generation.

As for the tailed beasts and the like, they couldn't build their confidence at all.

But after the death of the first generation, they felt that their opportunity had come, and then they were educated in several consecutive ninja wars.

Of course, those ninja villages discovered that although Konoha was still the eldest brother, this eldest brother was no longer the invincible eldest brother.

On the contrary, this big brother will be injured and bleed. If the injury is serious, he may...die.

Therefore, after the incident in Konoha a few years ago, the Fourth Raikage acted very decisively.

Unexpectedly, it still failed.

This time, we were forced to reconcile because we couldn't drag it out any longer, as funds, personnel, etc. were all gone.

It would be fine if their Yunyin Village had an advantage in terms of reputation, but if they were unreasonable, they really wouldn't be able to break this contract.

"Lord Raikage, what should we do?" Next to him, the young Raikage guard endured his anger and asked Raikage's opinion.

"According to the contract, compensation should be paid, no need to delay." Raikage said decisively, and then asked about the situation of the cloud ninjas.

"Lu Ren...has committed suicide. I just hope not to implicate his wife and children. There are several others who have also apologized."

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage was silent for a long time, and finally decided to have someone erect a monument for this unfortunate special jounin.

Facing the guards' doubts, he just said in a deep voice: "They sacrificed their lives for our Yunyin Village."

In fact, if this unlucky jounin had not failed his mission, he would not have been punished for his actions.

It's just that he failed

Now that he has committed suicide, the mistakes he made before will of course be wiped out, and the village will remember his contribution.

......

The news was also conveyed through the Raikage. It was after the validity of the contract was established that Konoha regained its vitality as a whole.

As for the inside story, even the higher-ups in Konoha cannot know.

Of course, Rizu didn't even know that the Kumo ninja had committed suicide.

If he knew, he would probably take advantage of this excitement and drink a few more drinks.

After all, this Yun Ninja set a deep trap for him back then.

Although everyone inside and outside Konoha felt that this Hizu was an old fox, he was using this trap in turn, just to completely suppress Kumogakure Village, and he was extremely cunning.

But he knew that if his daughter hadn't given him the idea, then he would probably have had to commit suicide to apologize.

Because he was really tricked at that time. There was no trick. It was just a remedy after the fact.

Of course, if he really fell to this point, Hizashi would be willing to die in Hizashi's place.

It's just that such a result is still a very big blow to the Hyuga clan.

Also because there were no channels, Rizu naturally didn't know what happened to the Kumo ninja envoys after they returned.

After drinking with Fugaku, Hizu discovered that he had new abilities.

However, there is no chance to show off this drinking ability in a short period of time.

After returning to his ninja clan, he began to deal with the daily affairs of the clan normally and gradually became busy.

In addition to occasionally having to communicate with Fugaku, as the leader of the Hyuga clan, he had to deal with more and more things.

Fortunately, they are all good things.

Now that the war has finally ended, at least Konoha, as the victor, has begun to enjoy the dividends it deserves, which it has never enjoyed before.

It's not that Konoha isn't strong, or that other ninja villages aren't convinced.

On the contrary, at the end of almost every war, Konoha's strength has a suppressive advantage over other ninja villages.

However, after every victory, various surprises would occur within Konoha.

Every time, a top expert died, either accidentally, committed suicide, or died with the enemy for the sake of the village.

Especially this time when Minato was hanged a few years ago, it can be regarded as the most painful one.

Unlike the death of White Fang, Minato is not only the strongest of the younger generation, but also has a very powerful personality and plays a very important role in unifying the major forces in Konoha.

His fall was far more than the loss of a powerful Kage-level warrior to Konoha.

If the other ninja villages hadn't been frightened by the beatings, and only Kumo ninja was left to tease them, it would still be a question of whether Konoha could survive.

Even now, there is only superficial calm within Konoha.

If those Kumo ninja missions could hold on for just a moment longer, then maybe the outcome of the negotiations would be different after the third generation arrived, or maybe the third generation would arrive even later.

But these things eventually passed.

No matter how many undercurrents there were secretly, on the surface, Konoha Hidden Village finally enjoyed the dividends of the war. The numb-looking villagers cheered when they heard the news.

Konoha, this somewhat decayed machine, is running again, doing the work of post-war reconstruction.

In the past few years, they have sacrificed many people. Some familiar faces will never be seen again, and some young faces will never smile again.

Even the already overcrowded orphanage has added new members.

But the injection of new funds, support funds from the daimyo, and compensation from Kumogakure Village allowed Konoha to regain its vitality.

It's spring and summer, and the green forests inside and outside Konohagakure are thriving.

The ninja school that has resumed normal operations has begun recruiting new students again. Many ninjas who were originally performing dangerous tasks outside have returned to the village to supplement the somewhat scarce ninja teacher resources.

After the morning sun rose, the entire Konoha was bathed in sunlight and regained its surging vitality.

This long-lost peace.
