Naruto under the bamboo forest

In April of the forty-sixth year of Konoha, Konoha made a surprise attack on Zewang Mountain and defeated Kumogakure.

The Battle of Zewang Mountain changed the battlefield situation of the Moon Country. The originally dominant Cloud Hidden Village changed its aggressive offensive posture after the fall of Zewang Mountain and the loss of a large number of ninjas. Konoha successfully captured the key point of Zewang Mountain. Then began to gain the upper hand. Before new reinforcements arrived, Yunyin Village no longer dared to risk attacking.

News of the battle at Zewang Mountain spread quickly, and all parties had mixed reactions to it.

Various previous failures have kept Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world, in a depressed state. Fortunately, the timely news returned from the Moon Country frontline has greatly boosted the village's sluggish morale.

The top management of Konoha also saw the opportunity to hold a grand celebration in the village to inspire people. At the same time, they vigorously promoted Ryuha Kusachi who made great contributions in this war and established the image of a young hero. On the one hand, it is to help the Kusasen clan better integrate into Konoha, and on the other hand, it is to use the image of a young hero to inspire the children in the village to contribute their part to Konoha.

After all, the war has been going on for so long, and Konoha's reserve force has become a bit insufficient. As a result, the third generation in power had to turn a blind eye and send the students of the ninja school to the battlefield in advance. Also because of the war, promotions to the ranks of chōnin became more frequent and easier.

Several other ninja villages began to become cautious after learning the details of the battle at Zewangshan. The battle at Zewangshan allowed other ninja villages to see the huge role that hiding can play in the battlefield. Maybe the reclusive ninja itself is not too powerful, but this ability to detect enemy intelligence without anyone noticing is really terrifying. Suddenly, all the major ninja villages began to think about whether they had the means to deal with the reclusive ninja.

The Kusagakure clan chose Kusagakure during the great changes of the times when the ninja clan merged into a ninja village. As a small country between the big powers, the Country of Grass has never participated in the disputes between the big powers except this time when it joined the war against Konoha under the leadership of Ura Hisami, giving full play to the excellent qualities of a grassroots. All of this made the Sosen clan, once a powerful clan in the ninja world, slowly fade out of people's sight.

The last time the Kusanagi clan came into the spotlight of high-level officials in various countries was because of the civil strife in Kusakure Village. At that time, although they knew that Konoha had taken in some children of the Kusanagi clan, they didn't pay much attention to it. But they didn't expect that these remaining members of the Cao Qian clan would give them a big surprise in the blink of an eye.

The intelligence departments of the major ninja villages began to operate at full capacity and began to look for ways to prevent hiding. Information about the Kusachi clan was constantly presented to the desks of senior officials. However, after analysis, it was found that except for the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, the former feud of the Sosen clan, which can restrain the reclusive ninja, there are basically no other ways to prevent the reclusive ninja.

This discovery made the major ninja villages feel helpless, and they couldn't help but complain that Kusagakure Village was not doing things cleanly, allowing the remnants of the Kusage clan to escape to Konoha. Caoyin Village also felt that they were wronged. They did not know that the Caoqian clan had a convenient passage like a black stone boundary monument. In Kirigakure Village, Ao, who received the White Eyes, became more valued. After all, he is now the only person in Kirigakure Village who can discover the hidden ninja.

In the forest, four figures were busy setting traps. Through Yintun's perception, Liuyu and the others knew that a group of Kumogakure ninjas would be passing through this place soon.

"Ryuyu, you have become the hero of the village now." Asuma, who was setting up a trap, turned to Ruyu and said enviously.

It can be said that the most dazzling person in the battle of Zewang Mountain was not the frontline commander Minato Namikaze, nor the Yamanaka Haiichi and Shimura Ken who led the attack on Zewang Mountain, but the ten-year-old Ryuha Kusachi. During this war, Ryūha became a hero known to everyone in Konoha, but Asuma, a hot-blooded young man, seemed very unconvinced. Of course, as a teammate, Asuma was more than just envious and jealous of Ryūha, he was more proud of her.

"That's right, you don't even know who I am!" After hearing this, Liu Yu arranged his two short blades and turned his head to look at Asuma with a deliberately disgusting expression. Stimulating Asuma and killing his energy is what Ryūha likes to do most when he is not fighting. Seeing Asuma's unconvinced look, Liu Yu always felt an inexplicable pleasure.

"Just wait, I will definitely shine in this war. When the time comes, ninjas from other countries will be frightened into giving up their missions and running for their lives when they hear my name." Asuma couldn't stand Ryūha. He said unwillingly with this stinky show off.

"Okay, okay! Stop playing tricks, the enemy is coming soon. If you want to quarrel, go back and start arguing again." Upon seeing this, Shan Zhonghai on the other side couldn't help but interrupt the quarrel between his two live students.

Hong on the other side looked at everything in front of him with a soft smile. Arguing with Asuma was Ryuu's favorite thing to do in her spare time, and enjoying Asuma and Ryuu's bickering became Kurenai's rare pastime when she wasn't fighting.

"A hero?" After ending his daily quarrel with Asuma, Ryūyu couldn't help but whisper in her heart.

There will always be two heroes in a war. Some people become heroes by virtue of their outstanding military exploits, while others become so-called 'heroes' through propaganda and propaganda in the village.

Some heroes can gain huge benefits after the war, like Namikaze Minato who successfully became the fourth Hokage. And some heroes just became a bigger bargaining chip in the hands of the top management, such as the scorching escaper Ye Cang who was given to Kirigakure by Sunagakure in exchange for a truce.

As a so-called hero, apart from the fact that he did make a lot of contributions in this war, the bigger reason is that Konoha needs heroes at this moment. At this moment, Konoha is suffering from fighting four ninja villages at the same time, and is in urgent need of heroes to boost the low morale of the village. At the same time, the image of young heroes can also encourage more children to graduate early and join the battlefield to defend Konoha.

War has always been an accessory of politics, and the so-called war heroes are nothing more than powerful pawns in the hands of the village's senior officials.

However, becoming the hero of Konoha this time can make other people in the village recognize the Kusachi clan and help the Kuszen clan better integrate into Konoha, which is also a good thing.

"Coming!" Yamanaka Haiichi, who had been paying attention to the situation in the distance, reminded several people in a low voice.

Hearing Yamanaka Haiichi's reminder, Asuma and Kurenai quickly entered the planned ambush location.

Liu Yu was also brought back to reality by Yamanaka Haiichi's reminder and shook his head. Liu Yu quickly disappeared into the big tree behind him and waited for the arrival of his prey.
