The mechanical empire that started with Naruto

"If Sasuke doesn't come back, it will be confirmed that he defected. No matter whether he comes back or not, it will be useless for him to say anything."

"Alas, I hope Sasuke can make the right choice this time, otherwise..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also took a deep puff of cigarette, and as the smoke surrounded him, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this not without the reason that he wanted to forgive Sasuke, after all, it was hard to say about Sasuke.

To put it in a big way, it is okay to issue a wanted order for Sasuke now.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's words defined this matter as Sasuke's return was not his problem, and the previous incident was just a coincidence that the attack on the Hidden Mist Village.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has been in charge of Konoha for so many years and is very eager for power, his love for Konoha is no less than that of others.

In the past two years, he has been thinking about what he has done in these years. In his memory, he was still very good when he was young, decisive, strong, efficient, and Konoha was very stable.

However, thinking of his old age and what he did in his old age, Sarutobi Hiruzen can only sigh that he is really old and confused.

He exterminated the Uchiha clan, forced the head of the Hyuga clan to death, suppressed the clans that did not belong to the Hokage faction, and even caused the Hyuga clan to leave Konoha two years ago.

All these things made Sarutobi Hiruzen begin to feel regretful, which is why Sarutobi Hiruzen was willing to give Sasuke a chance.

Not only because Sasuke was talented, but also because Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little guilty and wanted to compensate Uchiha Sasuke.

Otherwise, with their wisdom, how could they not guess that this might be Sasuke's betrayal of Konoha and private communication with the Hidden Mist Village, at least it was something that Sasuke acquiesced to.

It's just that both of them tacitly defined Sasuke's behavior as Sasuke's own revenge, which reduced Sasuke's crime many times.

Naruto looked at the hunched Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him, and instantly felt that at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen had completely aged.

This... maybe this is the last time Sarutobi Hiruzen will go on the battlefield.

Naruto also felt pity for the former third-generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

You should know that in the era when Sarutobi Hiruzen was in charge of Konoha, although Konoha was known as the first ninja village, it was often attacked by other ninja villages, and even Konoha's rebels and those who didn't know anything dared to attack Konoha.

In the end, under the coercion of Konoha, he gave up the position of Hokage to Tsunade.

It can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen was very frustrated as the Hokage.

Look at the first generation Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and the second generation Senju Tobirama, who were not provoked by anyone, or were beaten up after being provoked.

Even when the fourth generation Hokage was there, Konoha was very peaceful, and no other ninja village dared to offend Konoha.

Even other ninja villages issued the sentence "If you encounter a yellow flash, you can give up the mission."

When it comes to the third generation, although the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen is the longest-serving Hokage in Konoha, it cannot change the fact that Konoha is the most frustrated in his hands.

That is, although Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength is good, because he is old, he only thinks about the word peace in his heart, and completely forgets that peace needs to be fought for by oneself.

Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but sigh that only with strength can one stand on his feet. At the same time, he firmly said in his heart, "I must be the strongest person."

"Sarutobi, let's go back to Konoha first. Now the Hidden Mist Village has retreated. It seems that this war is completely over."

Sarutobi Hiruzen blew out a smoke ring, nodded, and said to Naruto, "Okay, it's just right to go back directly. The Hidden Mist Village retreated, and the Hidden Cloud Village will probably retreat as well. This time Konoha can be stable for a while."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know the information from Jiraiya, but he just thought that once the Hidden Mist Village retreated, the Hidden Cloud Village might face Konoha alone.

However, unlike what Sarutobi Hiruzen thought, the Hidden Cloud Village did not retreat, but instead attacked Jiraiya's troops even more.

Jiraiya looked at the Raikage who rushed directly towards him, his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but curse.

"Did the Raikage on the opposite side drink medicine? So fierce!"

...

At the same time, in the Hidden Mist Village. At the gate of Kirigakure, Mangetsu led the troops back to Kirigakure.

At the gate of Kirigakure, there were many ordinary people from Kirigakure. At this time, Kirigakure did not implement the blood mist policy as before, so the situation inside Kirigakure was much more relaxed.

The ordinary people standing around the gate at this moment were welcoming Mangetsu's return.

Looking at the cheers of the crowd, Mangetsu also showed a proud expression. Although he did not attack Konoha, he won Konoha in this war.

"Ah, it's Master Mangetsu, so handsome!"

"Zabuza is the most handsome. If it weren't for Master Zabuza, we wouldn't be successful."

Hearing someone say that Mangetsu was handsome, someone was immediately unhappy and shouted to everyone.

However, this person's words were refuted the next moment.

"How could we win without the leadership of Master Mangetsu."

"Nonsense, if Master Zabuza hadn't led the assassination team, how could we win this time?"

"Anyway, Master Mangetsu is the leader, and this should be Master Mangetsu's credit."

"Bullshit..."

"Okay, stop arguing, as long as the Hidden Mist Village is peaceful, they are all heroes."

Just when the two people were about to quarrel, the person next to them interrupted them. For him, as long as Kirigakure Village is peaceful, then the ninjas are all heroes.

…

And Gui Deng Full Moon also heard the discussion of these people. After all, their discussion was so loud that Gui Deng Full Moon could hear it from the door.

Subconsciously, he looked in the direction of Zabuza. Unexpectedly, Zabuza was also looking at the ghost lamp full moon at this time.

Seeing the ghost lamp Mangetsu looking over, Zabuza gave him a look that said, "You see, I have a lot of prestige."

Gui Deng Man Yue didn't say anything, and then the two people looked at each other, then looked away and looked away.

However, Gui Deng Man Yue was still thinking about what happened just now.

"It seems that we need to discuss with Lord Mizukage how to deal with Zabuza. Zabuza's prestige in Kirigakure Village is really high. Even with Lord Mizukage's suppression, how come Zabuza's prestige is still so high? We can't go on like this. "

On the other side, after Zabuza withdrew his gaze, his eyes became sharp for a moment, and then as if he thought of something, his eyes turned cold again.

Zabuza looked at everyone calmly, without the cheerful expression of ordinary ninjas.

As Kito Mangetsu and Zabuza entered Kirigakure Village, the two separated and moved towards their goals.

The target of Ghost Light Full Moon is the Mizukage Building, while Zabuza's target is his own residence.

For some reason, the two of them didn't mention the miserable figure thousands of miles away who was trying to attack Konoha.
