Naruto Under the Bamboo Forest

Chapter 70: Aftermath! Hero?

In April of the 46th year of Konoha, Konoha attacked Zewang Mountain and won a great victory over Kumogakure.

The battle of Zewang Mountain changed the battlefield situation of the Moon Country. The Kumogakure Village, which had originally had an advantage, changed its original aggressive offensive situation after the loss of Zewang Mountain and the loss of a large number of ninjas. Konoha began to gain the upper hand after successfully seizing Zewang Mountain, a key point. Before the arrival of new reinforcements, the Kumogakure Village dared not take the risk of attacking again.

The news of the battle of Zewang Mountain spread quickly, and the reactions of all parties were different.

The previous failures kept Konoha, the first ninja village in the ninja world, in a low state. Fortunately, the timely news from the front line of the Moon Country greatly boosted the village's low morale.

The top leaders of Konoha also seized the opportunity to hold a grand celebration in the village to inspire people, and at the same time vigorously promoted Kusa Sen Liuyu, who made great contributions in this war, to establish the image of a young hero. On the one hand, it helped the Kusa Sen clan better integrate into Konoha, and on the other hand, it also used the image of a young hero to encourage the children in the village to contribute their own strength to Konoha.

After all, the war had been going on for so long, and Konoha's reserve force had already seemed a little insufficient, causing the third generation in power to turn a blind eye and send the students of the ninja school to the battlefield in advance. It was also because of the war that the promotion of middle and upper ninjas became frequent and easy.

After learning the details of the battle of Zewang Mountain, the other ninja villages began to become cautious. The battle of Zewang Mountain allowed other ninja villages to see the great role that seclusion can play in the battlefield. Maybe the seclusion ninja itself is not too powerful, but this ability to detect the enemy's intelligence without knowing it is really terrible. For a while, the major ninja villages began to think about whether they have the means to deal with seclusion ninjas.

The Kusanagi clan chose the Kusagakure Village in the great change of the era when the ninja clans merged into ninja villages. As a small country in the cracks of the big countries, the Grass Country has never participated in the disputes between the big countries except for this time when it joined the war against Konoha under the leadership of Ura Kumi, giving full play to the excellent quality of being a fence-sitter. All this made the Kusa Sen clan, once a powerful clan in the ninja world, gradually fade out of people's sight.

The last time the Kusa Sen clan entered the sight of the top leaders of various countries was because of the civil strife in the Kusagakure Village. Although they knew that Konoha had taken in some children of the Kusagakure clan, they didn't pay much attention to it. But unexpectedly, the remnants of the Kusagakure clan gave them a big surprise in a blink of an eye.

The intelligence departments of the major ninja villages began to work at full capacity and began to look for ways to prevent seclusion. The information of the Kusagakure clan was constantly presented to the desks of the top leaders. But after analysis, it was found that except for the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, the former enemy of the Kusagakure clan, which could restrain seclusion, there was basically no other way to prevent seclusion ninjas.

This discovery made the major ninja villages feel helpless, and they couldn't help but blame the Kusagakure Village for not doing things cleanly, allowing the remnants of the Kusagakure clan to run to Konoha. The Kusagakure Village also felt wronged. They didn't know that the Kusagakure clan had a convenient passage like the black stone boundary monument. In the Hidden Mist Village, Qing, who got the Byakugan, became more valued. After all, he is now the only one in the Hidden Mist Village who can find the Hidden Ninja.

In the forest, four figures are constantly busy setting traps. Through the perception of Hidden Ninja, Liu Yu and the others know that a team of Hidden Cloud Ninja will pass by here soon.

"Liu Yu, you have become a hero in the village now." Asuma on the side turned his head and said enviously to Liu Yu while setting traps.

It can be said that the most dazzling person in the battle of Zewang Mountain was not the front-line commander Minato Namikaze, nor Yamanaka Inoichi and Shimura Ken who led the team to attack Zewang Mountain, but the ten-year-old Kusa Chi Liu Yu. Liu Yu became a hero known to everyone in Konoha in this war, but Asuma, a passionate teenager, seemed very unconvinced. Of course, as a companion of a team, Asuma was more proud of Liu Yu besides envy and jealousy.

"That's right, don't you see who I am!" Hearing this, Liu Yu arranged his two short blades, turned around and deliberately put on a cocky expression and looked at Asuma. Provoking Asuma and killing his spirit is what Liu Yu likes to do most when he is free from fighting. Looking at Asuma's unconvinced look, Liu Yu always has an inexplicable pleasure.

"Just wait, I will definitely shine in this war. When the ninjas from other countries hear my name, they will be scared to give up their missions and run for their lives." Asuma couldn't stand Liu Yu's cocky look and said unwillingly.

"Okay, okay! Stop playing tricks, the enemy is coming soon, if you want to quarrel, go back and quarrel." Seeing this, Yamanaka Hai on one side couldn't help but interrupt the quarrel of his two lively students.

On the other side, Hong looked at everything in front of him with a smile. Arguing with Asuma is what Liu Yu likes to do most in his spare time, and appreciating the quarrel between Asuma and Liu Yu has become a rare entertainment activity for Hong in his spare time during the battle.

"Hero?" After ending the daily quarrel with Asuma, Liu Yu couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

There will always be two heroes in the war. Some people become heroes with their outstanding military exploits, and some people become so-called "heroes" through the propaganda of the village.

Some heroes can gain huge benefits after the war, just like Minato Namikaze successfully sat on the position of the fourth generation Hokage. And some heroes just become a bigger bargaining chip in the hands of the top leaders, such as Ye Cang, the Scorch Release User who was given to Kirigakure by Sand Village in exchange for a truce.

I am a so-called hero. In addition to the fact that I have made great contributions in this war, the bigger reason is that Konoha needs heroes at this moment. At this moment, Konoha is suffering from fighting with four ninja villages at the same time. It urgently needs heroes to boost the low morale of the village. At the same time, the image of a young hero can encourage more children to graduate early and join the battlefield to defend Konoha.

War has always been an appendage of politics, and the so-called war hero is just a powerful chess piece in the hands of the village's top leaders.

However, this time, becoming a hero of Konoha can make other people in the village recognize the Kusanagi clan and help the Kusanagi clan better integrate into Konoha, which is not a bad thing.

"Here we come!" Yamanaka Inoichi, who has been paying attention to the situation in the distance, whispered to remind several people.

Hearing Yamanaka Inoichi's reminder, Asuma and Hong quickly entered the designated ambush site.

And Liu Yu was also pulled back to reality by Yamanaka Inoichi's reminder. Shaking his head, Liu Yu quickly hid in the big tree behind him and waited for the arrival of the prey.
