Chapter 21: Tetobima's Death

Although there was news of peace talks, Tobirama Senju did not relax.

Although the second generation Raikage of the Cloud Village was willing to negotiate, Kinkaku and Ginkaku of the Cloud Village did not intend to give up. They were still encouraging the ninjas of the Cloud Village in their village to go to the battlefield to fight.

Fortunately, according to the intelligence, the Second Raikage is now trying to win over most of the war-weary members in the village and is confronting the pro-war factions Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

He wanted to stop the war so that the ninjas of the Kumogakure could rest. Tobirama Senju still had time to spend a good year in Konoha Village.

During the New Year, Tobirama Senju personally delivered compensation to the families of the Konoha ninjas who died on the battlefield.

This not only did not damage the wisdom of Senju Tobirama, but instead won him the support of many villagers.

Watching Senju Tobirama's constant show, Chen An couldn't help but sigh. No wonder in the original work, Senju Tobirama proposed that Sarutobi Hiruzen inherit the position of the Third Hokage. The people of Konoha Village passed it without much opposition. Senju Tobirama's prestige in Konoha Village is still very high.

However, Chen An had already started doing this kind of thing a long time ago.

After Chen An learned that a ninja had died, he ordered all the shops of the Hyuga clan to offer a 10% discount to the families of the sacrificed ninjas. Even some daily necessities were sold at cost price.

This behavior not only gave the Hyuga clan a high prestige in Konoha Village, but also basically did not lose money on those products. In fact, the Hyuga clan still made money, but at the same time, they also gained a good reputation.

The reason is that the Hyuga clan used sealing scrolls when they bought goods, while other merchants used carts and horses to bring goods in. The Hyuga clan saved a lot just on the shipping cost.

The reason why Chen An did all this was to pave the way for himself to become the fourth generation Hokage in the future.

The New Year passed quickly, and Senju Tobirama took his six disciples to the battlefield again.

However, this time when Senju Tobirama went to the battlefield, he specifically asked the Hyuga clan to send ninjas to participate.

Chen An knew that this was Senju Tobirama's attempt to use the battlefield to restrict the development of the Hyuga clan.

The moment the news came down, the clan leader Hinata Makuhei was really annoyed.

Isn't it that Senju Tobirama's actions are intended to interrupt the development of the Hyuga clan and weaken its strength? Even Hyuga Makuhira plans to send only some Genin to the battlefield.

But when Chen An received this news, a strange smile appeared on his face.

It won't be long before Konoha Village and Kumogakure have official peace talks. If the Hyuga clan is sent to the battlefield at this time, it would be giving the Hyuga clan credit for nothing.

Chen An suggested to the clan leader Hyuga Makuhei that all the Hyuga clan ninjas at this stage be sent to the battlefield, and that all kinds of war supplies be prepared for these clan members.

At the same time, the Hyuga clan members who went to the battlefield were asked to look for the families of the ninjas who did not return to Konoha Village during the New Year, and asked their families to write a letter, saying that it would be given to their loved ones in the future to reassure them.

In this way, Tobirama Senju led nearly 300 elders of the Hyuga clan to the battlefield of the Land of Lightning.

You must know that the three major branches of the Hyuga clan: medical care, physical skills, and reconnaissance have long become the three pillars of Konoha Village.

In particular, the emergence of medical ninjas not only greatly reduced the death rate of the Hyuga clan on the battlefield, but more importantly, reduced the consumption of other ninja clans on the battlefield.

Three months later, news came from the battlefield that the Lightning Village would formally sign a peace treaty with the Leaf Village. The signing location of the treaty was in the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning.

In order to bring peace to Konoha Village as soon as possible, Senju Tobirama did not bring anyone else with him, but directly took his six disciples to the Cloud Village.

As Tobirama Senju went to the Cloud Village, the battlefield in the Land of Lightning temporarily calmed down.

In just these three months, among the superiors sent by the Hyuga clan to the battlefield, except for a few who were slightly injured by large-scale ninjutsu on the battlefield, no member of the Hyuga clan died.

In addition to treating the wounded, Chen An spent most of his time at the Pastoral Hospital quietly waiting for news of the unfortunate death of Senju Tobirama on the battlefield.

January 19, Konoha 4.

Chen An, who had just finished an operation that day, returned to his office. He heard a sudden commotion in the village. After listening carefully, he heard the news that the Hokage had passed away.

Hearing the voice, Chen An immediately walked out of his office and headed outside of Konoha Hospital.

When Chen An walked outside, he found that many ninjas were already panicking. Chen An hurriedly grabbed a ninja.

"What's going on? Why is everyone so anxious? Did something happen?"

Chen An looked at the ninja in front of him nervously and asked anxiously.

"I don't know the details, but I heard that the Hokage's disciple came back. The news he brought said that the Hokage had sacrificed himself to cover his retreat."

The ninja from an unknown family just replied to Chen An anxiously and turned away.

Senju Tobirama, you are finally dead. The rest of Konoha Village depends on me.

Upon hearing the news of Senju Tobirama's death, Chen An's uneasy heart finally settled down.

Now the development of Konoha Village depends on himself, and he must become the fourth Hokage.

After secretly making up his mind, Chen An turned around and returned to his family.

The death of the Hokage is such a big thing, and the Hyuga clan needs to discuss with Chen An and his uncles what attitude they should show.

Before Chen An reached the door of the Hyuga clan, a Chunin from the Hyuga clan ran up to Chen An.

“Good day, my Lord. The clan leader asked me to inform you to come to the clan for a meeting.

The Hyuga Chunin spoke respectfully to Chen An.

"Okay, I understand. You can leave first."

Chen An nodded and signaled the Hyuga clan's Chunin to leave first.

The Hyuga Chunin received the order and disappeared in a flash.

Chen An also circulated his chakra, lightly tapped his toes, and quickly moved towards the Hyuga clan.

Arriving at the Hyuga clan's ancestral temple, the guarding ninja at the door saw Chen An coming and bowed to him respectfully, but did not speak. Chen An nodded and walked in.

"Hey, Xiao An, you're here. Let's talk about what our Hyuga clan should do next?"

Seeing Chen An come in, the clan leader Hinata Muping smiled and waved to Chen An and said.

"Patriarch, uncles, since you asked me to speak, I will speak for sure."

Looking at the patriarch of his family, Hyuga Makuhei, Chen An said to Hyuga Makuhei with a smile.

"No problem, you're so smart, we will all listen to you."

When Hinata Makuhei heard what Chen An said, he knew that Chen An had already had an idea, so he said to Chen An with a smile.

After all, Hyuga Makuhira has seen the development of the entire Hyuga clan over the years. They all think that Chen An is better than the Nara clan in terms of wisdom.

"My opinion is to support Senju Tobirama's last wish."
