Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

Um……

I always feel that although he is planning something this time, it is different from before.

totally different.

that look...

Looking back at the Japanese-style cabin that was completely hidden from view by the forest, Maitekai frowned more and more.

Even though they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, even though they didn't have any in-depth communication at the beginning, he can feel that Qianye seems to be a little different this time.

However, he couldn't tell exactly what was different.

And this kind of inability to say it made him a little uneasy.

Compared with Kakashi and Asma, his friendship with Chiba seems to be inferior, but this does not hinder his understanding of Chiba.

That calm smile, it seems, is almost a look of acceptance of everything that is about to happen.

Chiba showed such a smile, for some reason, Maitekai felt very uncomfortable.

He still couldn't tell where he was uncomfortable.

Then, unable to bear it, he raised his head and looked at the peaceful scene under the bright sunlight.

Could it be that this is the calm before the storm?

But in his mind, such a thought flashed involuntarily.

A little worried, and a little sad.

Perhaps, it was the experience of many years of missions, or the intuition of being a senior ninja, but he vaguely felt that this storm might be more violent than before.

And the previous storm was the most violent he had ever experienced. that is……

The Third Ninja War!

And a storm more violent than this...

Mikey couldn't imagine it.

Ah……

I'm also really sensitive.

However, he quickly denied his feeling. Since the formation of the Ninja World, even in the Warring States Period, there has never been a more cruel and violent battle than the Ninja World War.

Yes, strictly speaking, the ninja war is more cruel and violent than the battles and wars in the Sengoku period.

During the Warring States period, although wars and battles were very frequent, and even every minute, a family unit would fight another family unit. Maybe every minute, a ninja would die because of the battle. However, in terms of scale and damage , Even a melee battle between three or four families is far inferior to a medium and large-scale battle during the Ninja World War.

Yes, although there were frequent battles during the Warring States period, in terms of scale and losses, compared with the ninja wars, they were almost a little bit pale.

In a sense, after the establishment of the ninja world, the five major ninja villages gradually divided the Ninja Continent, and every decision of the five major ninja villages almost determines the trend of the forces and developments in the Ninja Continent. In the ninja world, because most of the forces were brought together by Ninja Village, many battles and frictions were reduced.

There was also a period of peace in the ninja world.

Regardless of whether it is the integration of a large number of forces, or the emergence of a boom in reproduction or a baby boom after peacetime, future war units have changed from family units to multiple families, or even families that far exceed multiple families. A joint unit of units and ninja group units other than family units.

In other words, during the ninja world war, the base number of fighters far exceeded the family unit in the Sengoku period.

As the number of people increases, the scale and losses of the war will naturally increase.

Although there were far fewer battles and wars in the Ninja Village period than in the Sengoku period, but in actual fighting, the battles and wars in the Warring States period were completely incomparable with the Ninja World Wars.

Is it more intense than Ninja World War?

It should not be possible.

It could only be his allergic reaction.

Besides, taking a step back, even if there was such a violent storm, how could Qianye make it happen?

Or, how could Qianye plan such a terrible thing?

The third Ninja World War and the Nine-Tails Rebellion that year almost destroyed the foundation of the entire Konoha. If these two events were to happen again, Chiba would definitely not let this happen.

After all, back then, it was because of two incidents that Qianye lost all the people he cherished.

How could he let this happen again?

And the current situation in the village, if it really repeats itself, then it will really be the result of destroying the village.

How could Qianye plan to destroy the village?

With Chiba around, even Nobuhiko Uchiha would never be able to do things like destroying villages.

Matt Kay is still very confident about this.

No!

It should be said that all Konoha ninjas and ninjas from other villages who have experienced that era basically share this consensus.

Unlike the ninjas in other villages, however, the Konoha ninjas trust Chiba, and the ninjas in other villages seem to have thousands of backhands no matter what Chiba does. Trust, everything Chiba does is almost untrustworthy in the eyes of other ninjas in Ninja Village.

It can be said that there is one kind of absolute trust, one kind of absolute distrust, and two extremes.

And now Maitekai, as the ninja of Konoha Village, and the Konoha ninja who is quite close to Chiba, has even more trust in Chiba.

It was precisely because of this trust that he felt that he had an allergic reaction.

And it was really because he felt that he was overly sensitive, so now Maitekai shook his head, looked back at the Japanese-style cabin again, and took a deep breath.

Please... Chiba.

The matter of Ning Ci is left to you.

Then, after such a complicated thought flashed in his mind, Maitekai disappeared on the branch in a flash.

...

"Okay, you can ask Chiba to open a small stove for Kai and the others. About this matter, we can only think of Chiba."

At this time, on the other side, in Kakashi's residence, two prime-year ninjas with a hangover written on their heads took a sip of the hangover tea that had been prepared for a long time. The ninja with the left eye spoke.

"Ok, I know."

Regarding this, the bearded ninja sitting opposite him who seemed to have complained slightly nodded, but didn't say much.

"I didn't know it before, but the Hyuga clan actually..."

Then, after a slight sigh, the bearded ninja couldn't help but speak.

"Let's end this matter."

In response, the ninja with white hair covering his left eye spoke, interrupting the bearded ninja and preventing him from continuing.

After all, this matter is related to the Hyuga clan, and in the previous exam, this paragraph was almost nakedly displayed in front of the eyes of all Ninja villages. Although there was no response from above, it seemed to be a plan to let it go, but no one I know what actions and thoughts will be made by Chiba or the third Hokage who has taken over most of Konoha secretly.

At this time, talking less is always right.

"Forget it, Kakashi, after all, it is best for Chiba to solve this matter."

Upon hearing this, the bearded ninja who was interrupted did not dwell on this topic any longer, and after sighing again, he concluded the matter.

Judging from his title, the ninja with white hair covering his left eye is naturally Konoha's copy ninja, Kakashi.

"maybe."

Regarding this, Kakashi shook his head, and said: "In this matter, just like us, Chiba is also an outsider, and Chiba has not returned to Konoha for more than ten years. The clan didn't understand that even though he had solved the problems of the Hyuga clan before without great power, even if he has experience and power now, it doesn't mean that he can properly solve this matter. Even, in a certain sense Generally speaking, what happened to Neji is the proof that Chiba did not handle the matter of the Hyuga Clan well. In other words, it is proof that Chiba was unable to resolve the contradictions of the Hyuga Clan.”

"Um……"

Hearing this, the bearded ninja, that is, Asma, who was left because of taking care of Kakashi yesterday, frowned slightly, but nodded without refuting.

Kakashi was right.

At the beginning, although Chiba helped Yukina break away from the Hyuga Clan and did an unprecedented and almost miraculous thing, allowing Yukina to escape the fate of becoming a branch of the Hyuga Clan, but it cannot be said that Chiba solved the Hyuga Clan internal contradictions.

What happened to Xue Nai is more like Chiba used her influence and strength to single-handedly subdue the Hyuga Clan, but it did not resolve any conflicts of the Hyuga Clan.

Under the pressure of the entire village and the Hyuga clan, he protected Yuki Nai entirely by himself.

Although the deeds are true and almost legendary, Chiba did not resolve anything regarding the internal conflicts of the Hyuga clan.

Otherwise, there would not be a situation like Hyuga Neji.

Divide the family, and kill the clan family.

And in public.

It is conceivable to what extent the internal conflicts of the Hyuga clan have accumulated.

Neiji Hinata was almost desperate to vent his anger. For them who had experienced countless darkness and cruelty, how could this kind of hatred be so unforgettable.

To be honest, they who had absolute trust in Qianye did not dare to have any confidence that Qianye could handle this matter properly.

"In any case, I can only trust Chiba now. This matter, as the Fifth Hokage, must be resolved after all. Otherwise, if there is any change in the Hyuga clan, it is hard to imagine in this era. What is the situation."

Regarding this, Kakashi took another sip of tea and said lightly.

"Hey, you are indeed the guy who is destined to become the number one or number two person in Konoha, and he is already thinking about what will happen after Chiba becomes Hokage. Should I call you the fifth Hokage in the future of Konoha now?" left and right hand?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Asma nodded first, and then suddenly smiled, teasing and joking.

"Don't be joking. It's not like you don't know the person who is most suitable to be the No. 2 person."

To this, Kakashi didn't react too much, he seemed to smile, and then said with a tone of reminiscence.

"In the end, I still want yours. In case, if the original No. 2 person asks for leave or something, marriage leave or pregnancy leave, at that time, the matter of Hokage will probably be on your shoulders."

Hearing this, Asma paused for a moment, and there was a look of reminiscence in his eyes, as if imagining what Kakashi said about the second person, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, he spoke again.

"Ah……"

In this regard, Kakashi smiled lightly and did not speak again.

This time, Asma is right. If Xue Nai gets married and becomes pregnant, I am afraid that even Chiba, the Hokage, will not be able to perform her duties. At that time, there is really a high probability that everything will happen. Press on yourself.

However, at that time, presumably I should be willing.

After all, if that were the case, it would be a Dzogchen situation where everyone would be happy.

What a beautiful situation that would be compared to now.

And then, the two of them didn't speak, as if they were immersed in the unintentionally mentioned imagination.

...

"Oh? Is that so?"

And at this time, in Hokage's office, after listening to the report from Anbu's cronies, the third Hokage, who was obviously more energetic than before, showed a smile on his face, and said.

"Yes, the traces of the battle on the Hokage rock statue have been identified, no, it should be said that Chiba-sama's report has been sent, this is just left when he practiced with Kakashi and others, not Some suspicious intrusion, or something big happened."

In this regard, the confidant who was half kneeling in front of Hokage's desk said.

"This... I didn't expect that the competitive spirit they saw was still so strong."

Hearing this, Sandai Hokage spoke kindly.

It seems that the serious fighting marks found before are just the marks of children throwing mud flowers and playing around, and it is not a major matter.

"And now?"

Then, after these words, he spoke curiously.

Obviously, the Third Hokage at this time, or in other words, the Third Hokage after Chiba came back, has always been in a good mood.

There is also a relaxed and happy atmosphere in talking and handling things.

In the past ten years, or even in the past few decades, the three generations of Hokage have hardly been so relaxed and happy.

"At present, it seems that Chiba-sama has agreed to them, as a substitute teacher for their class, to teach for a period of time."

In this regard, the cronies answered truthfully.

The three generations of adults have been in a good mood these days, and their complexion has improved a lot.

It's all thanks to Chiba-sama.

It's great that Chiba-sama can come back!

And in his heart, he thought so from the bottom of his heart.

"Is that so... Substitute teacher... It's okay, anyway, there shouldn't be any major incidents in the past month."

But upon hearing these words, the Third Hokage was silent for a moment, with a serious expression on his face.

However, in the end his face relaxed, and he nodded slightly.

It would be good to let him get in touch with the new generation more.

Just do it.

But at this time, such a seemingly gratifying thought flashed through Sandai Hokage's heart.
