"Good news, the Third Raikage has died."
On this day, the news of the Third Raikage's death suddenly spread throughout the entire ninja world.
"It seems this war is about to end."
When Satoru heard this news, he had already guessed that the Third Great Ninja War was about to end.
The Third Raikage, in order to buy time for the Kumogakure Ninjas to retreat, directly confronted ten thousand rock ninjas alone. Although the Third Raikage died, the Iwagakure ninjas must have suffered heavy losses.
Without the Third Raikage, Kumogakure certainly does not want this war to continue. The rock ninjas also suffered a lot of losses, they do not want this war to continue.
The Kirigakure Village also suffered the same loss of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Now those seven ninja swords are still in the Konohagakure Village, and the Kirigakure Ninja have not redeemed them yet.
When they want to redeem the ninja swords again, they will definitely pay a huge price to Konohagakure.
Although the Sunagakure Ninjas did not lose anything in this battle, it should be noted that the fuse of the third war was the disappearance of the Third Kazekage.
To say that the only one who did not suffer too much loss this time is the Konohagakure Village. Although many ninjas died, they were all a group of Chunin and lower ninjas. The death of Jonin was in the minority, and there was not a single shadow level.
And Konohagakure also has many ninjas who have made a name for themselves in this battle, such as Hatake Satoru's title of White Devil, and Namikaze Minato's title of Yellow Flash.
It can be said that the biggest beneficiary of this war is completely Konohagakure, whether it is fame or profit.
Just the compensation that the Kirigakure Ninja Village wants to redeem the seven ninja swords is enough to completely make up for the loss of Konohagakure in this war. It's not easy to have a chance to open your mouth wide, it's strange if you don't open your mouth wide.
At this time, the friction between the various borders has gradually started to decrease, and it is estimated that it can only erupt in a big battle at most.
But at least now, there will not be too fierce wars erupting on the border of the Kirigakure Ninja Village where Satoru is stationed. Originally, the Kirigakure Ninja Village did not send a large army to participate in the war, just wanted to get a share of the pie in this battle, but did not expect to even put the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in it.
If the Kirigakure Ninja Village lacks the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the overall combat power of the Kirigakure Ninja Village will definitely drop several levels.
At this time, a few months have passed, and Satoru is now twelve years old. On this day, snowflakes slowly floated in the sky, and the troops where Satoru and others were suddenly received the order to return to the village.
In this instant, all the people burst into cheers, because they knew that the war was over, and they finally didn't have to be afraid on the front line.
As soon as they returned to the village, they found that all the villagers in the village had spontaneously organized and welcomed them at the village gate. When Satoru and others walked into the village, the villagers burst into a violent cheer.
In the crowd, Satoru also saw his father, who seemed to get along very well with the uncle next to him.
Hatake Sakumo looked at Satoru with eyes full of warmth and a touch of relief.
He now feels that his eldest son has completely grown up.
"Well done, Satoru."
Hatake Sakumo gently moved his lips, and Satoru understood what Sakumo wanted to express.
In response to him was Satoru's confident smile.
"You guys go back first, I'm going to report to Hokage-sama."
Satoru said to the ninjas behind him.
"Yes, Captain Hatake, we must invite Captain Hatake for a meal one day to celebrate our safe return."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
Hatake Satoru did not refuse, he had been with these ninjas for about two years, and naturally they had developed feelings for each other. They could be brothers, comrades, or friends.
Although Satoru is younger than them, they have long regarded Satoru as a peer or even an elder, because Satoru is their benefactor.
"Hokage-sama, I'm back."
Satoru knocked on the door of the Hokage's office and walked in directly.
"You've worked hard, I've heard about your situation on the front line, you are really like your father. If Sakumo can watch you here, he will definitely felt proud for you."
"Thank you for Hokage-sama's praise."
"I saw it, the villagers all welcome you, I hope you always remember the will of fire, don't let the people who believe in you down."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
"When the people from other battlefields come back, we will hold a commendation meeting for you together. At that time, whatever reward you want, just speak up. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama."
Then, Satoru told the Third Hokage about some details of the past two years. The Third Hokage nodded frequently. When he heard about the attack, the Third Hokage also clenched his fists nervously.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
"Okay."
Just as Satoru was about to leave, the Third Hokage suddenly stopped him.
"Wait."
"What's wrong, Hokage-sama?"
"What level has your strength reached now?"
The Third Hokage directly asked a question that had been in his heart for a long time. When he learned that Satoru had retreated from Ai's hands and killed five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, this question had been lingering in his heart.
"At least I wouldn't lose against you Hokage-sama."
Satoru said confidently, even if he was facing the Third Hokage, he was still confident in the face of his own strength.
The strength he now possesses is his confidence to deal with all problems.
"It seems that White Fang really has a successor. In the future, when the village is handed over to you young people, I will be relieved."
The Third Hokage did not think that Satoru was lying, because when Satoru said that sentence, the Third Hokage's heart felt a strong pressure. This pressure did not come from the other party's strong chakra, because the other party's chakra was not as much as his, but a psychological pressure.
The Third Hokage also knew that after the war was completely over, he would have to step down from the position of Hokage. Because no matter what, the losses caused by the war, these leaders also have to pay some price for the village.
And this price is his resignation as Hokage, and the selection of the Fourth Hokage.
Now Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart has already had his own ideas, even if he really doesn't become Hokage, he must at least hold half of the power.
So he must find someone who is relatively easy to control.
"Hokage-sama, what are you talking about? The village also needs people from your generation. I feel that Hokage-sama can still be in office for twelve years."
"Twelve years, hahaha, that's really going to take my life."
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen said so, he was still very happy to hear others compliment him.
Will anyone think that the end of the third war is too hasty?
