Chapter 553 The Most Correct Choice

From the beginning to the end.

This battle lasted less than half a day.

The final curtain fell with the comprehensive victory of the Hidden Light Village. The casualties paid by both sides were not particularly heavy. The number of people killed in the battle was controlled within a certain range. The main reason was that Menma was efficient enough in defeating the brothers Hashirama and Tobirama. The two previous Hokage who relied on their side were defeated. This was a devastating blow to the morale of the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village.

You must know that before this, the appearance of Nara Shikaku had already caused a huge shake on the Konoha side.

Don’t look at Mito Kado En bringing the most elite dark force to kill Shikaku, intending to control the adverse effects to the minimum range, but let’s not mention that the Hidden Light Village’s protection of Shikaku is all-round, just the ninjas of the three tribes of Ino, Shikaku and Chou on the scene will never sit idly by and watch their leader being killed by others.

Even if this person is Mito Kado En.

With this movement, the battlefield was tilted in the direction that Konohagakure could not control.

But neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya had the energy and the ability to control it.

Even if Menma spent more time and could not defeat Hashirama in a short time, according to the trend of the front battlefield, it was only a matter of time before Konohagakure was defeated. However, in that case, the ninjas of both sides would have to pay a more tragic price.

This was also the reason why Menma did not leave any room for Hashirama, the God of Ninja, at the beginning.

Just as he said before.

As long as it was within his ability.

He would try his best to reduce the casualties caused by the war, and he was truly considering peace. No matter whether it was from his own ninja village or from another country's ninja village, as long as they were not on the must-kill list, they would be treated equally.

This was also to lay a good foundation for the establishment of a super-large ninja village in the future.

This is a very common truth.

As long as fewer people died, the threshold of hatred would naturally be lower.

Everything would be easier to come to fruition.

Menma and Toneri defeated Hashirama and Tobirama in a short time to achieve this goal.

When Tobirama returned to the two ninja villages with Sarutobi Hiruzen, the casualties on both sides were very low. There were indeed many injured people, but not many dead people. It is worth mentioning that at the beginning, when both sides saw Tobirama and Hiruzen returning, the two Hokages.

The ninjas of Konohagakure cheered loudly.

They thought that their predecessors had won strongly.

The morale reached its peak at that moment, and the Hidden Light Village had a subtle atmosphere of surprise and doubt. Even so, the Hidden Light Ninjas did not show any form of confusion, because in the hearts of the Hidden Light Ninjas, Menma was already the representative of invincibility.

The return of Tobirama could not really shake the morale of the Hidden Light Ninjas.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if Menma's body appeared in front of these Hidden Light Ninjas, their first reaction would be to think that it was a conspiracy of the enemy.

How could their first generation Tenkage-sama fail! ?

In fact, it was just as these light ninjas expected.

When Tobirama returned, he told all members of the Hidden Leaf Village to give up resistance and surrender unconditionally.

Such a clear statement of attitude.

It undoubtedly showed the outcome of the peak battle in the distant Valley of the End!

It was the victory of their Tenkage-sama!

Although they didn't know what happened and why their Tenkage-sama didn't show up, it didn't stop these light ninjas from cheering wantonly.

The second generation Hokage directly announced his surrender. Isn't it worth celebrating? ? Isn't it worth cheering? ?

In contrast, the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village were stunned after the initial shock.

They lost the battle!

Even the first generation Hokage who once dominated the ninja world couldn't lead them to victory, so they had truly lost all hope.

Only the leaders Wuwei and Yugao were fully alert at the beginning, because they did not see Menma appear.

They were still a little worried whether this was a conspiracy of the Hidden Leaf Village, deliberately letting them relax their vigilance and then attacking them all at once! ?

But then, such doubts disappeared quickly, because they really wanted the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village to completely give up resistance.

If they really wanted to play a conspiracy, it would not go to this extent.

Later, they saw the signal flares specially sent by Menma at the Valley of the End.

Wuwei, Yugao and others were completely relieved.

When Uchiha Madara's position was discovered later, he was attacked by Menma and Toneri and a world-shaking battle broke out again, which once again attracted the attention of the ninjas from the two villages gathered here.

But the battle started very suddenly.

It ended just as quickly.

It can be said that from the time the two sides gathered here to the end of the final battle, it really took less than half a day.

Everything just came to an end.

By the time Hashirama, Tobirama, and Musuke returned to the scene, the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village had already been reorganized.

The ninjas of Hikari Village also formed their formation under the leadership of Wuwei and Yugao. After all, they barely surrendered voluntarily, not prisoners after being defeated, so they still had to be given a certain degree of respect and autonomy.

It was impossible to really use special equipment to restrict and detain.

The most they could do was to let the ninjas of Hikari Village stay inside, while the Hikari ninjas were in a semi-encircled position outside.

"Grandpa? Second Grandpa? You are back. Is everything over? Eh? This? Is it Uchiha Madara!?"

The moment they saw Hashirama and Tobirama coming back.

Tsunade's eyes lit up. Regardless of the process and results, even now, the two Hokage are still the backbone of Hikari Village.

Especially for Tsunade, the significance is extraordinary.

She came to meet him immediately, but when she saw the person in her great grandfather's arms, Tsunade's eyes widened. Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, Hatake Sakumo and others who came behind him all showed different degrees of shock.

As one of the original founders of Konohagakure, these people couldn't fail to know Uchiha Madara!

And judging from the posture, this is definitely a corpse! ?

Could it be that the battle just now was with Uchiha Madara! ?

And this Shura of the Ninja World died again?

Was he killed again after being resurrected! ?

This! ?

Tsunade felt a little confused for a while.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were the same.

"This? The first generation, the second generation? What happened?"

They all looked at Hashirama and Tobirama with expressions of incomprehension and even confusion.

"Okay, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you. The team has been integrated, right? Xiao Gang, just like I said just now, after everyone returns to the ninja village, a high-level meeting will be held. At that time, I will personally preside over the meeting and hand over all the affairs of the village to the Hidden Light Village. You should make specific arrangements for the work. In this process, there should be no problems. No matter who dares to have other unnecessary behaviors, the people of the Hidden Light Village do not need to take action. I will personally destroy him. Do you understand?"

Tobirama took a deep breath and said in a very stern tone.

When he said the last two sentences, he deliberately looked at Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu.

In such a situation

What Tobirama is most concerned about is that his two disciples will mess around. They have such motivation and ability to do so. Don't underestimate these two consultants. The fact that they were favored by Tobirama in the past is enough to prove their excellence. Their means, mind, and strength are definitely among the pyramids of the ninja world. It's just like Hiruzen and Danzo. When they reach old age, they seem to have lost their minds automatically and are no longer as outstanding as they were when they were young.

This does not prevent them from having a certain prestige in the village. This can be seen from the fact that after Sarutobi Hiruzen died in the original work, the two of them can almost be considered to be able to decide the position of Hokage.

The two also have their most loyal subordinates in the village. If they really go crazy, it can bring certain problems to the smooth transition of the village.

Even if it is harmless, it is not what Tobirama wants to see.

Forget about Hiruzen.

Anyway, they are all dead people, and they died for the village. Even if there are many faults, Tobirama, as a teacher, is not willing to blame anything.

Just think of it as his atonement.

Mitomonen and Utatane Koharu were different. Facing the gaze of their Hokage mentor, these two so-called Hokage advisors showed bitterness on their faces.

After all, they are already in their seventies.

They were disciples that Tobirama personally taught by words and deeds. Even if their treatment was indeed not as good as Sarutobi Hiruzen who could receive the education of the first generation, they were actually master and apprentice with Tobirama. How could they not know the character of their mentor?

With just a glance, they could clearly judge what their mentor meant.

‘Forget it, forget it, just think of it as atonement for what happened back then.’

‘It’s also for the village.’

The two old men then lowered their heads sadly, thinking silently in their hearts.

Tobirama, who also saw the behavior and attitude of his two disciples, also felt a little complicated in his heart.

Although he had scolded these disciples so much before, and even wanted to tear these bastards apart directly, in the final analysis, these were the successors he personally selected and trained!

Unlike his own Anijia, Tobirama never married in his life. He had no children, so he almost regarded these people as his own descendants. This was one of the reasons why he was so angry when he learned about the stupid things done by Konoha F4.

He really hated iron for not being able to make steel.

Now he had to be ruthless to his only two disciples, even Tobirama felt a little bit reluctant, but this was the ending they deserved, which was their retribution and the best result for the village.

Mitomonen and Utatane Koharu could naturally understand this.

At the beginning, they could not have other similar thoughts.

But firstly, they still had Konoha in their hearts after all, and they were not really completely selfish people. Secondly, Hashirama and Tobirama, the two previous Hokages, were still here, and it was absolutely impossible for them to do anything.

You should know that the strongest strength of the two of them in their prime was only a little stronger than the elite jonin.

They were barely at the level of Quasi-Kage, not to mention that they are now old.

Any elite jonin in the village can defeat them in a single fight.

In such a situation.

Rather than dying in disgrace, it is better to be sensible. Unlike Danzo, the two of them still have descendants in the village. If they take the initiative to die, they can still leave a little political legacy for their descendants. Even if the Hidden Leaf Village is gone, Tsunade and others will still be alive and well?

There are not too many extravagant hopes, just asking for a little bit of partiality and care should be reasonable.

There is another point.

Both of them are already around 70 years old. In this world where the average age of ninjas is less than 30 years old, they are definitely long-lived people. They have enjoyed everything they should have enjoyed in their early years. Now they die, and there is no regret.

Mitomono En and Utatane Koharu are still clear-headed.

"Yes, Second Grandfather, I know, don't worry."

"Yes, Second-generation Lord, everything will be done according to your instructions."

After Tsunade nodded in response.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting next to him, also nodded silently and replied. Unlike Tsunade who was completely an outsider, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally experienced the previous battle.

No!

It's flattering to say it was a battle.

He and his mentor could only barely hold back the white-eyed boy, but as long as they were given more time, he and his mentor would definitely not be opponents, not to mention Hashirama.

Menma was almost a one-sided crush.

Such a battle cannot be called a battle at all.

Because from beginning to end, they were the suppressed party, and they didn't have to pay any price.

When Tobirama suddenly left.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, Mito Kado En and others asked Sarutobi Hiruzen about the relevant matters. At first, they all thought that Menma had some extra combat power, or that the Impure World Body could not fully exert the strength of the three Hokage.

Although it is indeed true.

But in essence, Menma and Toneri are too strong.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has a full understanding of this. What if he exerts 100% of his peak strength! ?

Menma can still easily defeat his own first generation.

There will be no difference.

Considering the people who are still alive in the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also thinks that surrender is the only way out. He is also heartbroken about the death of his son, but he still has a grandson!

Sarutobi Hiruzen also reminded himself in his heart that he must have a good talk with Konohamaru after returning. Survival is the most important thing!
