Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

The battle between the Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja quickly spread throughout the ninja world.

Yunyin Village.

"Damn it!"

Ai burst into tears and locked himself in the delay room, pounding the ground, the wall, and the ceiling.

Kirabi was also very sad and took out a pen to write a heartfelt rap: "In order to protect us, our father was beaten into dust by more than 10,000 rock ninjas. This hatred has become a scar in my heart. From now on, I can no longer close the door to sadness. I want to become stronger and sing this rap..."

The Third Raikage died a tragic death, with no trace left of his body, and Ohnoki refused to explain what happened.

The Hidden Cloud Village was plunged into anger and hatred.

The Iwagakure ninjas were not much better off; they lost too many people in this battle.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the conflict between the two parties is not over yet.

Next, an even stronger storm is brewing.

The Hidden Sand Village.

"It's really crazy..."

The newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was surprised when he heard the result of the battle.

"Ohnoki made a losing deal this time."

"It's rare to hear that he suffered such a big loss. Does he have such a big grudge against the Third Raikage?"

"And the Third Raikage... is he that strong?"

Luo Sha was amazed.

Compared to this, the disappearance of the Third Kazekage is nothing.

At least the Third Kazekage is only missing and has not been confirmed dead.

The Third Raikage died a very heroic death. He single-handedly took away tens of thousands of Rock Ninjas to be buried with him, and it is said that he also took away one of Ōnoki's legs...

This record is truly brilliant!

"Forget it, let's not think about it."

Luo Sha shook his head: "The most urgent task is to quickly rebuild the village. Let's put the war aside."

Although he also wanted to compete with Konoha again, the conflict between the Third Raikage and the Iwagakure made him feel uneasy.

In this era, even powerful shadow-level warriors will fall...

It’s better to just stay alive for now!

Kirigakure Village.

"understood."

Hearing this news, the Third Mizukage lying on the hospital bed closed his eyes: "Don't disturb my rest."

After he came back, he fell ill and his illness was very serious.

Maybe it was due to years of overwork, or maybe it was the blow of discouragement, but in any case, his spirit had been slowly worn away.

"Then Mizukage-sama, should the training continue?"

Next to his bed, a short young man carrying a weapon that looked like a staff on his back asked carefully.

"continue."

The Third Mizukage exhaled lightly: "In such a cruel era, if you can't even accept this kind of test, you won't be able to survive."

"I understand."

The short boy nodded silently.

Konoha Village.

"..."

There was no joy on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, he even looked a little sad.

At this moment, he was standing in front of an unknown memorial, as if he saw his annoying and helpless old friend.

"I thought you were going to walk behind me..."

"I underestimated you, Danzo..."

Danzo's skills were never exposed until his death, because the Four Symbols Seal erased all traces.

The Iwashi Ninjas who came to investigate did not find any clues.

However, despite being treacherous and cunning, Danzo still left some information about his whereabouts, plus the information that Ito Toru secretly passed on to the Root organization.

It didn't take long for Sarutobi Hiruzen to learn of Danzo's death.

Suddenly he didn't want to go to class anymore and came to this memorial in confusion.

Although Danzo is insidious, always contradicting himself, and doing unknown things behind people's backs, everyone hates him.

But he is my old friend after all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Danzo also had a little bit of the Will of Fire in his heart, but it was slightly distorted...

But none of that matters now.

Because Danzo is dead.

The current Sarutobi Hiruzen has not yet experienced a series of blows and has completely let go.

So I can’t accept it at all.

"The teacher is gone, and so are my old friends. Is our era finally going to wither away?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi muttered to himself.

Suddenly, wind blew around him, blowing down the dead leaves, and on the ground, new saplings had already sprouted.

At the border of Konoha, in the frontline camp fighting against the Iwagakure ninja.

"Danzo is dead?"

Orochimaru was stunned.

When Toru Ito told him the result, his first reaction was disbelief.

It’s a bit outrageous!

It's like a junior employee who has just joined the company and is ambitiously preparing to work his way up to the position of general manager, but is suddenly told that the company has closed down.

"Yes."

Ito Toru looked heavy-hearted: "It's hard for me to accept this result. I didn't expect that Danzo-sama would be so stubborn..."

"He died for us!"

"For the future of Konoha, he sacrificed himself without hesitation and even drank a forbidden drug whose ingredients were unknown..."

"I didn't expect it either..."

Rope Tree shook his head with mixed feelings: "The medicine that Danzo drank before he died gave me a familiar aura, and his last chakra runaway also formed an out-of-control forest..."

"Ugh……"

Shisui and Shizune didn't say anything, both of them were in a daze.

"… Nawaki, you guys go out first. Ito, you stay and tell me again."

Orochimaru drove everyone out, leaving only Ito Toru, and then listened to him narrate the whole incident in detail again.

"Ito, you..."

After listening to this, Orochimaru looked at Ito Toru strangely, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

It couldn't be you who did this, right?

This is your fault, kid!

How could Danzo have the sentiment to sacrifice himself for the village?

It would have been better if he had sacrificed the four of you!

How could I sacrifice myself to protect the four of you and let you escape safely?

If he had such morals, he wouldn't be called Danzo!

Plus the Dark Plan of Konoha proposed by Ito Toru earlier...

Orochimaru's expression became increasingly weird.

"not me!!"

Ito Toru immediately cried out in grievance: "Danzo-sama's rampage has nothing to do with me!"

"I didn't expect him to do that."

"Too."

Orochimaru thought about it for a while and nodded.

After all, Toru Ito had no idea that Danzo had such banned drugs on him, and judging from the effects, it should be the result of the first generation's cells getting out of control.

I didn't expect it to be so scary. I have to be more careful next time...

If we were to create an out-of-control forest out of thin air...

Just thinking about that scene made Orochimaru shudder.

"Forget it. No matter what, Danzo is dead and the war should be over soon. The mess he left behind is still there, and I don't know how the old man will deal with it."

"Ito, you and Nawaki should take a few days off."

"The paid kind?"

"of course."

"it is good!"

Ito Toru's face immediately broke into a smile.
