The Shadow of Konoha

The negotiation between the Third Hokage and Hanzo seemed to have lasted for a long time. It was a matter of great importance on the battlefield, so it was natural to be cautious.

However, no matter how the two sides have their own thoughts and intrigues, they at least have one consistent position...ending the war and restoring peace is the unified will of both sides.

During the communication between Konoha and Amegakure, it seemed that Shimura Danzo admired the Amegakure leader and was willing to support him. Danzo's specific thoughts were only known to him. He did not state the reason why he supported Hanzo, but at least it was certain that his attitude was not because the two had similar names.

If we think that this is the only reason we sympathize with each other, then it would be too frivolous.

It's just that both of them seem to have sinister personalities...

Amegakure wanted to sign a peace treaty with Konoha, but the problem was that the village was already penniless due to long-term warfare and continuous attacks from Konoha. Therefore, no matter how much the two sides talked, Konoha would probably not get anything more than peace itself.

Even with the character shown by Amegakure in this Ninja World War, it would be almost impossible for them to join Konoha, and it would be impossible for Hanzo to become anyone's puppet.

However, even if Amegakure no longer disperses its forces to deal with Konoha, and only uses them to guard Iwagakure, this would be acceptable to Konoha.

Hanyu had no idea what the two sides talked about. The only thing he knew was that not long after that, the Hokage sent out a search team, which once again entered the Hidden Rain Village to retrieve their own ninjas trapped there... This was something that Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, could not ignore.

Of course, Hanyu would not participate in such a search mission. Asking him to do such a thing would clearly mean that he would be killed - he had just attempted to assassinate Hanzo, and now he was sent into the opponent's poisonous fog?

Even if the Hokage really wanted to kill him, he would not use such a low-level method of killing someone with a borrowed knife. Moreover, the Third Hokage was extremely satisfied with Hanyu's performance in this war, so he had no reason to do something that would make his loved ones sad and his enemies happy.

And since Konoha has sent ninjas to Amegakure again, regardless of whether it is peaceful or not, this at least means that the two ninja villages have decided to make peace.

Such a thing would definitely not happen in the first or even second generation, but there is nothing to be done, as the Senju have now retired.

Three days later, most of the Konoha ninjas who invaded the Rain Country began to withdraw to the front-line camp in the River Country in an orderly manner in batches.

At this point, the Amegakure operation can be declared over. Konoha has basically achieved its predetermined goal - to kill the Amegakure leader and achieve peace between the two sides. Although no one could have guessed the course of the war, who could have thought that the Amegakure leader would die from his subordinates' betrayal, but the result is acceptable.

After the Battle of Rain Village, Konoha's war on the western front was basically over, but this did not mean that the front-line camp would be immediately withdrawn. In fact, it was just the opposite. Konoha would still station a considerable number of ninjas here, and would stay there for a considerable period of time.

Because even if Konoha and Amegakure signed a peace agreement and both sides could trust each other 100%, Konoha would have a good reason to keep its troops here... The peace between Konoha and Amegakure was only a peace between the two sides, but Konoha and Sunagakure had no intention of signing any agreement up to this point.

Now the ceasefire between Konoha and Sunagakure is only in reality. In essence, the state of war between the two sides has not been lifted, and the war may reignite at any time, so Konoha must of course be prepared.

Since the end of the Rain operation and his return to the front-line camp, Hanyu gradually realized that there had been some obvious changes in the atmosphere around him.

For example, when he was walking around the camp and ran into an ordinary ninja, the other party would most likely stand by the roadside and wait for him to pass before leaving. Another example is that more people knew his identity and would add the awe-inspiring suffix "Sir" when addressing him.

This is actually not surprising. In times of war, capable ninjas can gain status and recognition from their fellow villagers more easily than ninjas of higher birth... Hanyu's previous "performance" in front of the battle obviously won him more respect.

Being a ninja is as simple as that. The harder they hit, the more prestigious they become. When a ninja is as ruthless as Hashirama Senju, no one will want to fight him anymore, and he will become the backbone of maintaining world peace.

The person who is the best at fighting is the one who can best maintain peace, because those who do not want peace will be killed by him through war... Either choose peace or choose extinction. In the final analysis, Hashirama is still a very Buddhist person.

Of course, that was just Hashirama, and Hanyu had no chance of comparison. But when he clearly discovered that he had become "a little famous", his first reaction was not any special emotion, but that he felt that he would not be able to use his current identity as an Anbu in the future...

He has become a celebrity wearing an Anbu mask, so how can he continue to be an undercover?

Although Hanyu had been wearing the mask to conceal his identity during the battle in Amegakure, it did not play the role it should have. The reason was simple. Whether he wore the mask or not, he was working with the three disciples of the Third Hokage, so there was no question of concealing his identity.

But no matter what, after winning several games in a row, Konoha no longer needs to maintain the current number of ninjas on the front line... The battlefield is like a gambling table, and only the party with the advantage can calmly choose to increase or decrease the chips in each game.

Therefore, after the battle with Rain Village, the front camp of Konoha remained in good order, while frequent personnel transfers began. During this process, Hanyu was not transferred back to the village quickly, but stayed in the camp, resting, training, and patrolling the surrounding areas at the usual pace.

At this time, he was not in any urgent mood, because being able to stay on the front line instead of being rushed back to the village was not a bad thing.

During the First Ninja World War, there was no direct conflict between Konoha and Kirigakure. But now, Konoha has ended the wars with the two major countries of Kumogakure and Sunagakure, and has concluded a peace agreement with Amegakure, which is equivalent to completely isolating Iwagakure from the outside in fact and geographical terms. Therefore, it can be roughly said that... Konoha's Ninja World War is over.

What remained were nothing more than some finishing touches. After presiding over the Rain Village war, the Third Hokage was no longer suitable to stay on the front line, so in the end he sent Danzo, who was brought here to play a supporting role... To be honest, in the Rain Village battle, Danzo's presence was not as high as Hanyu's... to stay here to handle subsequent events and coordinate the battle situation.

He did not display his tool-man attributes during the Rain Hidden War, but he can continue to shine now.

The Third Hokage himself decided to return to Konoha, but at this time, it was already a month after the battle of Rain Village ended.

Since the Third Hokage decided to return to the village, Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya would naturally follow him back. So Hanyu also finished his mission on the front battlefield and was able to return to Konoha.

Before leaving here, Hanyu stayed in front of the gate of the front-line camp for a long time until Jiraiya came over to remind him to set off.

"Hanyu, what are you standing there for? We are about to set off."

"…"

"Nothing , I just feel it's not real. But no matter how I feel, at this moment, I have finally confirmed one thing... The war is going to end."

"…Is it over?"

These words made Jiraiya stunned. It was obvious that due to his age, Jiraiya did not have the same deep feelings as Hanyu.
