Chapter 255 The Hokage betrayed us!
Konoha was now out of ammunition and food.

Both manpower and supplies have been exhausted.

Perhaps apart from the 'Ape Army', there are no other cards.

If we pursue them now, we can achieve more results.

But the loss will not be small.

The key is that it might provoke the Sand Ninjas to launch a desperate attack, and then we would be in trouble.

Once even this last bit of capital is used up, the other three ninja villages that had originally withdrawn from the Ninja World War are likely to rejoin the battlefield.

Therefore, Konoha really can't catch up.

At this point, the battle of Kikyo Mountain came to an end, with Konoha Village winning a great victory.

"Won!"

"Konoha wins!"

"Namikaze Minato-sama is victorious!"

...

Countless cheers echoed across the battlefield.

Dohei's eyes first turned to the ninjas named "Namikaze Minato", but unfortunately, due to the cover of darkness and the short distance, he could not see clearly.

"It was led by Utane, Mitomon, Sarutobi... and other Hokage-affiliated ninjas!"

Hinata Cangyue's voice sounded beside him.

In the fight just now, she was the one who let the opponent win the most.

She found a Sand Ninja who was a physical training ninja, and the two of them fought from beginning to end. Under her lead, the opponent didn't realize that something was wrong, and was only defeated with one blow in the end.

Assassin attributes maxed out!
"really!"

Tang Ping was not surprised at all.

Because he guessed that it was these ninjas who took the lead.

In any case, after this war, Sarutobi Hiruzen will have to abdicate.

Because Konoha suffered such devastating losses, even if a god came down to earth and struck four with one hammer, it would not be enough to make up for it, so as the Hokage, he had to take responsibility.

After he abdicated, there were only four people qualified to take over the position of Hokage.

Three ninjas, Minato Namikaze!
They are all from the Naruto series.

Among them, Tsunade left the village and never returned, so only Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato were left.

Among them, Jiraiya has already hinted that he does not want to be Hokage, otherwise he would be the only candidate.

So it’s not surprising that they are building up momentum for Minato Namikaze.

As for why not choose Orochimaru? .

Given Orochimaru's personality, if he really gets to the top, they will suffer.

This is not a question of ability, but a question of interest.

If we really talk about ability to choose the Hokage, Orochimaru is definitely the strongest, but the position of Hokage can never be given to him.

The greatest sin is to lack the will of fire.

Please note that this Will of Fire is the Will of Fire of their F4, not the Will of Fire of the first generation.

Amid the cheers, Minato Namikaze seemed to be the only protagonist of this battle.

Forget about Tang Ping, he is just taking advantage of the situation.

However, Yamama Koji defeated Chiyo head-on and disrupted the Sand Ninja's rear, which can be said to be a feat of "killing the general and capturing the flag."

But it just disappeared like that...it was really dark.

I don’t know who came up with this plan, it’s so ingenious.

And even if someone noticed, there would be nothing to say.

Since Minato Namikaze was the general in the Battle of Mount Kikyo, isn't it natural for him to get the greatest credit?

Next is to clean up the battlefield.

What is puzzling is that there are not many supplies in the Sand Ninja Camp.

I don’t know if this is the only thing or if they were prepared in advance and didn’t put all the supplies here.

I think it should be the latter!
Although the Sand Ninjas suffered heavy losses, they had no shortage of supplies after occupying a large area of ​​the Fire Country's territory.

With money, there are plenty of people who sell supplies to them.

Perhaps many of these materials are produced in Konoha, and even strategic materials such as healing potions are available in various major ninja villages.

As to whether it was seized or where it came from, no one dared to say or ask.

Next comes the follow-up actions.

Keep an eye on the Sand Ninja, expel them from the Land of Fire completely, and then you can return to the village.

As for restoring order, eliminating war... and so on.

What does that have to do with ninjas?

Konoha is only a combat organization of the Land of Fire, not a governing organization, so they don't care about these things at all. And the Sand Ninja retreated very cleanly this time, and withdrew directly from the Land of Fire.

After leaving a troop to monitor the border, the rest of the large force will withdraw to the village for rest.

Under the current circumstances, the village dare not use all of its last strength to guard against the Sand Ninja.

Tang Ping naturally followed him back to the village.

After all, wouldn't it be stupid not to go back at this critical moment of post-war interest distribution?

So, after almost two months after the battle of Platycodon Mountain, when the New Year was approaching, he followed the army back to the village.

Konoha seems particularly lively today.

Early in the morning, countless villagers gathered on both sides of the gate.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and other village leaders stood at the gate to welcome the triumphant army.

In addition to boosting the villagers' confidence and pride, this ceremony is also to tell other ninja villages that Konoha is still capable of fighting.

Soon, the triumphant army appeared in front of the villagers, causing great cheers.

"It's the golden flash!!"

"I heard that he defeated the Kumogakure and the Iwagakure, and now he has defeated the Sandgakure!"

"Yes, he is the hero of Konoha!"

"So handsome!"

...

Various voices came out from the villagers' mouths.

But if you listen carefully, you'll notice something interesting.

The topic would eventually shift to Minato Namikaze, and the credit would be attributed to him, while everyone else would be completely glossed over.

Dou Ping and his team 404 were naturally mixed in the team, but they just followed behind Namikaze Minato who kept waving and greeting the villagers, looking a little "ordinary".

“Does it feel unfair?”

Dohei looked at Yamama Koji beside him, wanting to know what he was thinking.

After all, he fought at full strength in this battle, without giving up at all, but he did not get the honor he deserved.

"No!" Yamama Koji said calmly, "I am your man, and I am only fighting for the village because of the deal you made with Danzo!"

After witnessing the darkness of the village, the influence of the Will of Fire has faded, and he is now completely devoted to serving Dou Ping.

"That's good!"

Dohei also felt relieved, fearing that Yamama Koji would be unhappy.

He has already got the benefits. He has been carrying the spiritualization technique with him and taking drugs to study it for some time. Now he has made considerable progress.

It can be said that this benefit was exchanged for their honor this time.

He knew this very well, so he had no dissatisfaction at all and just did whatever the village leaders told him to do.

It's impossible to take both the benefits and the honor, right?

That's too disgraceful.

The army will disband immediately after entering the village, and only the top leaders will be summoned to the Hokage Building.

Like Team 404, Ino-Shika-Chou...they followed Danzo and Minato Namikaze to the conference room on the third floor of the building.

The Hokage's office is a place for small meetings, so naturally it can't accommodate too many people.

At this time, the chiefs of the major ninja clans in the village were already waiting for them here.

It is clear that today's meeting is of great importance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the main seat, relaxed his frown a lot.

"I have good news to tell you all. Konoha has reached a truce agreement with the Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja!"

He first threw out a message.

However, although it was good news, it made the conference room quiet in an instant.

Tang Ping, who was sitting in his seat, had a smile on his face.

The fun is coming!

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen played like this, it was clear that he was ready to turn against them.

You know, one of the most important reasons why Konoha was able to defeat four enemies at once this time was that all the major ninja clans took out the talents and ninja armies they had trained privately, and even took out the resources they had accumulated.

Although the main goal is to protect Konoha, it is more important for profit.

Do they really think that the Will of Fire will make them like White Fang, willing to sacrifice everything for Konoha?

Post-war peace talks are themselves an opportunity for the major ninja clans to gain benefits.

For example, let them monopolize certain commodities, business routes, specialties, etc. to reward them for their efforts.

But now Sarutobi Hiruzen had reached a peace agreement with the Cloud Ninja and the Iwagakure Ninja without even discussing it with them. How could they not be surprised?

To sum it up in one sentence…

The Hokage betrayed us!
