Konoha: Kaguya's Notepad

Two years later, Konoha's 32nd year.

……………………

Twenty years after the First Ninja World War, the economic gap between countries has increased. On the grounds of increasing fair privileges, martial factions in each country have risen. They promote the use of force to expand territory, and the Second Ninja World

This is where the war begins.

This year, the war between Konoha and the Suna Ninja entered a fever pitch. At this time, a man who killed enemies on the border of the Suna Ninja and shed a river of blood made his name. The Suna Ninja who were afraid of him called him "Mu."

"Ye Baiya", the mission has a 100% completion rate. Even if you retreat when you encounter White Ya, it will not be considered a mission failure.

In June of the same year, the Suna Ninja assembled five thousand ninja legions to raid the northern Konoha garrison from the "Oni Mountain" on the eastern front. The poison developed by the Suna Ninja "Chiyo" was said to be impossible to break, causing huge casualties to Konoha at that time.

More than 300 people were killed in the battle, 1,200 were poisoned, and the northern Konoha garrison of more than 3,000 people was forced to retreat 90 miles to the Lianju Mountain.

In late June of the same year, Princess "Tsunade" of Konoha cracked Chiyo's poisonous technique, and the garrison in northern Konoha launched a full-scale counterattack.

The northern garrison of Konoha launched a night attack at 11:30 that night. The elite troops led by Konoha Shiroga entered the enemy's hinterland and successfully beheaded the commander of the southern Sand Ninja Army. Chiyo's son "Sen Gen" established the victory, and thereafter "White Fang"

The name "Tooth" resounds throughout the ninja world.

In August of the same year, Konoha troops, led by Tsunade, launched a comprehensive strategic counterattack and took six days to recover all Konoha's fallen territories.

In September of the same year, Konoha's army pressed forward, and its troops pointed directly at the hinterland of the Sand Ninja.

At the same time, the Amegakure Village in southern Konoha is making moves in the border area. The leader of Amegakure, known as the "demigod", is trying to become the fifth largest ninja village recognized in the world, and armed conflicts have broken out one after another with neighboring countries.

In October of the 32nd year of Konoha, Amegakure Village officially declared war on Konoha.

Konoha was forced to temporarily suspend its all-out attack plan against the Sand Ninja and mobilize elite troops to rush to the southern battlefield.

In late October, the war between Konoha and Amegakure Village officially started in "Aikawa".

…………………………

The cold wind is howling and the sky is freezing.

winter is here.

It snowed heavily in the sky, covering the entire Konoha with a snow-white coat.

On this day, Konoha did not have the prosperity of the past. All the people went to the entrance of Konoha Village. Hundreds of thousands of people stood on both sides of the road and stared into the distance with expectation and fear. The crowd was extremely crowded but strangely quiet.

It wasn't until the team returning from the expedition appeared at the end of the road that the sound of uncontrollable sobbing could be heard from the crowd.

"They're back."

Not long after, the Konoha troops who retreated from the front line to repair appeared in front of everyone. They were all remnants of the troops that retreated from the front lines of Suna Ninja and Rain Ninja. There were thousands of wounded and hundreds of seriously wounded, but there were even more corpses.

He stayed on the battlefield forever, and the only things left behind were the names engraved on the commemorative monument, and the heartbroken relatives who cried.

The 1,455 remnants of Konoha's army all looked defeated and walked silently on the streets of Konoha. The leader was Eastern Commander Orochimaru. He was the first to fight against Suna Ninja and was the first to lead the Konoha troops to the battlefield of Rain Ninja.

Legion, so his army suffered the most serious attrition, and the number of people who returned was less than one-third of the number that went out.

There were no cheers of victory, no warm greetings, just looks of horror, sadness, and resentment all around.

Orochimaru walked at the front of the team with an expressionless face. He knew what these people were thinking. As the saying goes, one general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies. Although Orochimaru was not an incompetent coach, his record and achievements were even more important than those of the entire army.

Judging from the leaves, they are all among the best.

However, too many people died.

At the end of the Battle of Hechuan, the entire Hechuan River was stained red with blood, and there was not a drop of clear water for dozens of kilometers.

The river was filled with the corpses of Konoha and its enemies.

"Life is really fragile."

Heavy snow was falling from the sky, and Orochimaru's mood was like the cold wind in winter, getting colder and colder to the bone.

At this moment, a woman rushed out from the side of the road. Regardless of the obstruction, she ran to Orochimaru and cried.

"Lord Orochimaru, my... my... son... why is he not in the team? Isn't he your bodyguard who is always with you?"

Orochimaru's face was cold, and he glanced at the other party with a numb look in his eyes, which immediately made the woman shiver all over.

The snake's eyes are golden and emotionless.

Cold-blooded.

numbness.

A sense of contempt for life.

"died."

Two simple words popped out of Orochimaru's mouth in an inhumane manner without any emotion.

This cold and ruthless expression made the people around him feel disgusted. Although he was a famous third-generation disciple, this kind of behavior that ignored people's grief also caused Orochimaru to lose his status in the hearts of the people.

Cold, heartless, just a cold-blooded animal.

Although no one spoke, the eyes of the people around him had changed.

But Orochimaru is too lazy to care about what these people think. His personality is inherently cold. If it weren't for a hot-blooded idiot like Jiraiya who always ignores this indifference, Orochimaru doesn't think anyone can understand each other. Even if

He is the Sandaime Hokage, and in recent years, their views have become increasingly exclusive.

"never mind?"

Orochimaru glanced at the woman coldly, turned around and continued forward.

Perhaps because his attitude was too cold and hard, the woman's courage burst out of nowhere and she grabbed Orochimaru's sleeve.

The woman's face was full of tears, her eyes were red, and her expression was distorted.

shouted in a heartbreaking voice.

"Why, why can you say such cruel words so easily!"

"Do you know how much my child admires you? Do you know how hard he works to get close to you!!"

"How come you can be so emotionless and say such things without even caring about it! Don't you have the heart and tears to show even the most basic sadness!?"

At this time, two Konoha ninjas rushed out of the team, hurriedly picked up the woman and pulled her into the crowd.

Orochimaru looked at the woman who was dragged away coldly.

"Orochimaru, you are an emotionless beast. My son died fighting because of you!!"

"I curse you, this cold-blooded snake!!"

The woman was soon dragged away and disappeared into the crowd, but her tragic tone that contained grief and anger resonated with the people around her. Even those who didn't hate Orochimaru before had a cold face and eyes.

He stared at him with vague hatred.

To express anger?

maybe.

But Orochimaru's inhumane and cold words not only tore the woman's heart, but also deeply hurt everyone present.

Many people may feel at this moment that it would be great if Orochimaru was the one who died.

This is the human heart.

"..."

Orochimaru continued to move forward in silence.

People are so fragile.

A simple injury will kill you.

You will also die if you are infected with the toxin.

You will die if you walk on the road.

You will die if you run in the river.

The person who was laughing and joking one second will be suddenly blown away the next second, and his torn internal organs will be scattered all over the ground.

Fragile.

inability.

Are humans such useless creatures?

Human life turns out to be something that can be taken away so easily.

What about me?

How heavy is my life?

"The so-called weight of life... how much does it really weigh..."

Orochimaru slowly closed his eyes.

At this time, the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the howling cold wind blocked everyone's vision.

A transparent tear slid down his cheek.

Dissipated in the icy cold wind.

……………………

The next day, Konoha issued a new order.

According to high-level research, in view of the serious shortage of troops caused by the current two-front operations, the decision was made after discussions with frontline commanders.

——Expand the army!
