Chapter 62 The War Is About to End
Chapter 62 The War Is About to End
A week has passed, and the problem of a large number of ninjas being undisciplined and indulging in reckless behavior remains unresolved.
A few days later, Shisei Aburame was the first to discover an Iwagakure spy who had infiltrated the area, but he only secretly monitored him and observed who the spy would pass the information to, without immediately informing Naoto.
Five days later, Naoki realized the existence of this spy, but by then the information had already been passed on to another spy.
He arrived at the underground palace filled with remorse, only to find that Aburame Shisei had already captured the remaining people.
"You've arrived."
Naoto looked at those people; they were all unfamiliar faces, but judging from their attire, they were clearly ninjas.
"them……"
"They're all spies from Iwagakure." Aburame Shisei stood up and said calmly, "Spies are everywhere. I'm not as powerful as you think; there will always be times when I'm careless. That's why I need the dew you produce."
After struggling for a moment, Naoto finally extended his tentacles and drained the spies dry, condensing them into a single drop of dew.
On this day, his determination to protect the village was strengthened once again.
Although Shisei Aburame is powerful, he is ultimately a rogue ninja of Konoha, and will be hunted down by the entire ninja world after the war ends.
He didn't know exactly how strong the Kage-level successor that Aburame Shisei mentioned was, but if a major battle broke out between the two sides, the village would be the first to be destroyed, so he had to become stronger.
"I will protect the village."
A few days later, the village began implementing the new policy. Leader Shibuki Kosaku accepted the suggestion of the newly promoted Jonin Naoto and prepared to plan a commercial district within the village.
From then on, Takigakure Village began to attract merchants from outside the village. Anyone who belonged to Takigakure Village and had the intention to live there permanently could buy a shop and settle there permanently.
Afterwards, the new leader, Shibuki Syaoran, prepared to drastically renovate Takigakure Ninja Academy, and the new honorary principal was Jonin Naoto.
The school has six grades and six teachers. Those who are close to Naoto include Itsuki, Haruka, and "Takikawa Hide," all of whom become faculty members.
In addition, there is Aoki, who has recovered, and two other older Chunin—Sasaki and Morita.
Upon closer examination, they were all acquaintances of Aburame Shisei. Naturally, there was no shortage of underhanded dealings involved.
Of course, the main reason was Naoto's plea. Takigakure Village's educational foundation in various fields of knowledge, especially in terms of ideas and insights, was simply too poor.
Some things cannot be solved by force alone; without thought, one is ultimately just a beast.
After careful consideration, Aburame Shicheng realized that staying underground all day with insects was not a good idea. He decided to create a shadow clone to interact with young children to avoid a life that would be too oppressive.
The village has been rebuilt and expanded, and is now thriving.
However, a few days later, a Chunin, who usually relied on his strength and often drank heavily and beat his family, severely injured a young child this time.
The surrounding villagers dared not speak out, after all, it was just a family matter, and in the end they could only sigh and feel sorry for the mother and son.
But the next day, the Chunin was publicly executed for violating several village rules, and his body disappeared that night. In the underground palace, another drop of dew appeared.
That afternoon, Zhi Ren convened the entire village to revise the village rules.
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly: "From today onward, I hope all ninjas will put aside your arrogance and change your bad habits. I also hope that other villagers will hold their heads high and not feel inferior. Although our Takigakure Village is small in number, we are united and loving, and we want everyone to live a happy life."
The villagers looked at the boy they once knew and suddenly felt that he had changed—not in appearance, but in something inexplicable about him.
It's like... having the weight of a burden.
Subsequently, Naoto led all the villagers to process a special kind of military ration pill.
He realized that a life of luxury is not scary; what is scary is losing the will to fight and not being able to see the future.
He wanted to completely free the village from the control of nobles and daimyo, and to make Takigakure economically independent and prosperous, no longer relying solely on food, or even solely on the support of Shisei Aburame.
Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.
Inside the underground palace.
As two drops of gel were mixed into medicinal oil and absorbed through a medicinal bath, the physical limitations of Yu Nu Zhicheng were finally broken.
His long-stagnant strength, stamina, and speed have increased again, which has also led to an increase in chakra.
He was already capable of utilizing 200% of his chakra. The increase in chakra finally allowed him to research insects that consumed enormous amounts of chakra.
For example, he can now use the tailed beast he's had for over two years to train his insects.
Meanwhile, in the southern part of the Land of Waterfall, on the battlefield of the Land of Rain:
In April of Konoha Year 37, Kirigakure, the village of the Land of Water, was the first to withdraw from the battlefield, close itself off from the country, and implement elite policies such as the Bloody Mist Village, causing its overall strength to reverse its historical trajectory.
In September, Sunagakure announced its defeat.
The Third Kazekage's face was ashen, but he had to admit that the war over the past few years had exhausted the strength of the Land of Wind, and if the fighting continued, the village would fall apart.
In October, Iwagakure withdrew. Standing on the border, Ōnoki looked at the ravaged land and could only sigh before ordering a retreat.
At this point, only Konoha and Amegakure remained on the battlefield in the Land of Rain.
At the end of Konoha Year 37, on the ruins of a battlefield on the border of the Land of Rain.
Three figures stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, facing a man wearing a gas mask.
These people were Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Hanzo of the Salamander.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights. In reality, the three Konoha members had already been defeated, but Hanzo of the Salamander had long lost his ambition and dared not take their lives.
"You are very strong. From today onwards, I will call you the 'Legendary Sannin of Konoha'."
Afterwards, although the Land of Rain did not declare defeat, Hanzo the Salamander never appeared in public again.
The war is finally nearing its end.
Jiraiya decides to stay in Amegakure to take care of the three war orphans.
Because of the death of her younger brother Nawaki, Tsunade chose to leave alone and go out to clear her mind, and became more determined to establish the Konoha medical system.
Orochimaru was ordered to guard the border and clean up the battlefield. During this time, he received another invitation from Danzo.
Danzo handed him a map marked with several blank detection areas, the newest of which was particularly noticeable: Takigakure Village.
Danzo told him, "That's a place that Root has never been able to detect. All the spies they sent there recently have mysteriously disappeared."
He didn't say anything more, and before turning to leave, he only said, "We have obtained some valuable materials. The laboratory materials are ready. The village cannot be without Wood Release."
Orochimaru didn't inquire about the source of the materials, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
After a long silence, as if making a decision, he sighed softly, "Life... is so fragile!"
