The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 153 Musha Friendship

"This incident was instigated by Orochimaru. Konoha deeply regrets what happened to the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa. These supplies are provided by Konoha in support of the Sand Village's construction, based on the principle of friendly alliance. We hope this can express Konoha's sincerity."

Inside the Sand Ninja camp, Mitomon En forced a bright smile and spoke to Sand Ninja Chiyo.

The Sand Ninja watched as the truckloads of supplies were brought into the camp. Even though she hated Konoha, she still responded with a forced smile, "The Sand Ninja have always upheld our friendship with Konoha. If it weren't for Orochimaru's malicious manipulation, this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Thank you for Konoha's support."

I hope your village can capture and bring Orochimaru to justice as soon as possible!"

Elder Chiyo, who received a large amount of food, blades and other supplies from the team led by Konoha representative Mitomon En, felt like he was living in a dream.

Originally, she was only leading people to sneak into the Land of Fire in order to support the Fourth Kazekage. The series of events in Konoha over the years gave the Sand Ninja more confidence. She was there not only to support and expand the results of the battle after the success of Rasa's plan, but also to support Rasa just in case.

After receiving the news from the front line, Chiyo no longer had any hope for this harvest, but her unwillingness prompted her to continue advancing. After meeting the envoy of Konoha, she realized the weakness of Konoha, so Chiyo took the opportunity to extort more supplies to make up for the losses of Sand Village.

To be honest, the amount of supplies she wrote at the beginning was exaggerated by 20 times, and she was expecting to get % or % of it. Unexpectedly, Konoha was more fragile than she thought, and after various delays in the negotiations, they finally agreed to half of her request.

However, these supplies were provided in batches. In addition to the one-time release of the prisoners, only 30% of the supplies were provided for the first time. But this was still half higher than Chiyo's best expectations.

Since Konoha is so weak, can I take advantage of the opportunity to make another profit? Chiyo thought in her mind, quickly analyzing the strength comparison between her own village and Konoha, as well as the possible reactions of other ninja villages.

"Elder Chiyo, these people from the Sand Village entered the Land of Fire because of Orochimaru's conspiracy.

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I wonder when you will retreat to the Sand Village. Even if we are allies, it is not a good idea for such a large group of ninjas to enter the Land of Fire.

Our two villages still have borders to guard. To be honest, Ohnoki and Raikage Aike are not the kind of people who would sit still and listen to orders.

Seeing that Sand Ninja Chiyo did not respond for a long time after receiving the supplies, Mito Men Yan became a little anxious and could not help but remind her with some ambiguous words.

After hearing what Mitomon En said, and considering the Sand Ninja's loss of combat power, Chiyo pondered for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly and said, "This is all Orochimaru's evil conspiracy. I hope we can maintain peace in the future.

Sand Shinobi, withdraw to the village!"

Chiyo was also helpless. The Sand Village really couldn't fight any longer. The body of the Fourth Hokage, Rasa, had been found.

The number of ninjas he led in this attack was not enough, and it was a taboo to advance alone, not to mention that the old man Ohnoki had been eyeing the Sand Village.

Given the integrity of the people in Konoha, if they don't withdraw their troops, they will definitely send someone to inform Ohnoki. It is better to take these supplies and call it a day. Even if the subsequent supplies cannot be obtained, these alone are enough for the Sand Village to recover a lot.

"Konoha has always valued its friendship with the Sand Shinobi and would never initiate a dispute. I wish everyone in the Sand Shinobi Village a safe journey home.

I also hope that our two villages can live in peace in the future."

Watching the Sand Ninjas begin to dismantle the camp and set off back to the village under Chiyo's command, Mitomon En let out a long sigh and said to Chiyo in a formal manner.

In fact, both Mitomon En and Chiyo knew very well that after this incident, the relationship between the two villages would probably be difficult to return to the harmonious state it was before, or it could be said that there has never been true harmony between Konoha and the Sand Shinobi!

......

The retreat of the Sand Ninja made Sarutobi Hiruzen and others breathe a sigh of relief. After the external pressure was relieved, they began to actively plan to make up for the losses.

Inside the hospital ward, a secret conversation was taking place.

"So, the Sand Village has retreated?"

"Well, the Anbu reported that the Sand Ninja force has left the Land of Fire and entered the desert of the Land of Wind. The border defense outposts have been re-established. This time they will definitely not have a chance to launch a surprise attack!"

"That's good. Then we can no longer indulge those guys in the Hyuga family who have no will of fire. I'll leave this matter to you, Danzo."

"Rest assured, let me take care of these things. I will never allow these guys who harm Konoha to continue to exist."

......

On the second day after the Sand Ninja retreated, Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi walked side by side on the streets of Konoha. Looking at the shops that had reopened, their gloomy moods of the past few days improved a little, so the two went to an izakaya to drink and have fun.

However, their good mood didn't last long as a burst of noise in the izakaya made them frown.

Snapped!

A drunk man slammed his wine glass on the table and started shouting.

"Damn it! Konoha has suffered such a huge loss this time. It's all the fault of those evil White-Eyes Hyuga clan!"

"Keep your voice down, Jiro. You must be drunk. Why are you bringing up the Hyuga clan?"

The big man's companions saw him start to lose his composure and quickly stopped him. The Hyuga clan is now the largest clan in Konoha, and it is not something that ordinary villagers like them can slander.

"Why not blame them? Isn't the Hyuga clan known as the largest clan in Konoha? Where were they when they were resisting the invasion? Why can't we see any of them?"

"Yeah, yeah, it seems like there really isn't a single Hyuga clan member on the battlefield."

"That's right. My neighbor's uncle's nephew's brother-in-law is a Chunin. He fought until one of his legs became lame. I heard from him that the Hyuga clan didn't even come to watch the Chunin tournament, and during the battle, not a single ninja was sent out!"

As soon as Jiro finished speaking, a group of drinkers gathered together and echoed him.

Hearing these discussions, Hongdou frowned and was about to stand up to argue with them, but Xihihong grabbed her arm.

"Hongdou, don't get excited yet. Let's listen to what they have to say first."

The discussions on the side continued, and more people joined Jiro and his team to denounce the Hyuga clan.

"It's fine if the Hyuga ninjas don't fight, but the thing is, I heard that Konoha suffered such heavy losses this time, but the Hyuga clan didn't suffer any losses at all. Do you think they are colluding with the enemy?"

"How is this possible? After all, they are still a Konoha family!"

"How is that impossible? Aren't the Hyuga clan known for their strongest reconnaissance capabilities? Why didn't they detect the enemy's invasion? They only knew how to wait in the village and scare people with their white eyes, but they didn't see how to deal with the enemy."

"In my opinion, whether the Hyuga clan will go out for reconnaissance or not is another matter. Konoha has suffered so much loss, and there are not enough supplies for reconstruction. Many of us are still living in tents. If the Hyuga clan won't send people, then shouldn't they send supplies?

They are the largest clan in Konoha, and they have plenty of supplies!"

......

I don't know who changed the topic, but the talk in the izakaya gradually turned into that the Hyuga clan should take on the responsibility of providing materials for Konoha's reconstruction and send more people to prove that they were not colluding with the enemy or betraying Konoha.
