Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: False Victory

After Kirito's attempted assassination, the hospital's guards were tightened up a lot, and he didn't encounter another assassination for the rest of the month.

There were many things that happened in this month.

Root, who had begun to become active again, fell silent once more.

The fact that Kirito was assassinated by a special jonin-level assassin but easily counterattacked was revealed by someone unknown, and quickly became known to all the major forces in the ninja world. The name of Konoha's genius became more and more famous, and received the focus of attention from all the major forces in the ninja world.

Yamanaka clan elite Jonin Yamanaka Yun accidentally received a mysterious gift, and then mysteriously disappeared in Konoha.

Uzumaki Mito is subjected to a sophisticated assassination attempt by the Sunagakure, but it turns out to be a failure, and for this reason, the Sunagakure loses an elite Jonin spy, who is rumored to be a high-ranking member of the Konoha's intelligence department.

Gato, a bankrupt shipping merchant, receives the support of a great nobleman in the Land of Wave, and rises again. He establishes a pharmaceutical company called Higanbana, headquartered in the permanently neutral Land of Demons, which produces a variety of medicines favored by the people of various countries because of their good quality and low price.

An organization called Night is secretly founded in the Land of Wave and begins to grow quietly in the Land of Wave, extending its tentacles to the surrounding countries.

The assassination of a nobleman in the Land of Fire alerts the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who orders Konoha ninjas to track down the murderer, but the Daimyo is enraged by the revelation of the nobleman's corruption and intent to commit treason.

There are also a few big chambers of commerce in the Land of Wave of goods in transit were robbed by unknown pirates one after another, suffering heavy losses.

And many other things.

But for Kirito, all the various storms of the outside world seems to have nothing to do with him, in the eyes of others, he still stayed in the medical class as always in this ivory tower to constantly study their own medical ninjutsu. He stayed at home and didn't hear anything outside.

Now that he was a qualified Mystical Palm Technique user, he was officially assigned to work in the hospital, becoming a true medical ninja.

One day, a month later, in the morning time, Kirin was in his small clinic room using Mystical Palm Jutsu to treat a ninja who had suffered a serious trauma to his arm, when an excited shout suddenly came from outside: "Listen to me, everyone, the Amegakure has lost, we have won."

After this cry appeared, the news spread quickly in the hospital, and everyone in the hospital cheered and excitedly shouted slogans such as "Long live Konoha", "We've won", "Long live Hokage!

"Dr. Kirito, did you hear that? We won, it's really great, after we defeat the Amegakure, we can let go and deal with the Sunagakure with all our strength, at that time, with the support of such powerful ninja as the Konoha's three ninja, we will surely be able to defeat the Sunagakure in no time."

The ninja who was being treated by Kirito was equally overwhelmed with excitement and couldn't help but nag at Kirito.

"Ah, that's great indeed, let's hope that the war will end sooner rather than later, but you'd better be patient and stay still for now."

Kirito said with a smile before his hand slightly exerted force towards the patient's wound, instantly causing the patient to grimace in pain and regain his senses.

The war was over.

This was naturally good news, which Kirito agreed with, but he didn't hold out much hope for this when the battlefield in the Amegakure ended and Konoha would soon be able to defeat the Sunagakure.

Sunagakure was not comparable to the small Amegakure.

This ninja village built in the wind and sand has huge war potential. The ninjas born in it are extremely resilient, and they also have the tailed beasts, the ninja version of nuclear weapons, which are far more ferocious than the rain village.

Moreover, the Sunagakure is currently led by the Third Kazekage, who is known as the strongest Kazekage, and is assisted by two Kage-level powerhouses, Chiyo and Ebizo. The Sunagakure is basically united now, and it is the most prosperous period of the Sunagakure.

If Konoha wants to defeat such a Sunagakure, it will not be able to fulfill this long-cherished wish without paying several times or even dozens of times the price of the battlefield in the Amegakure.

In short, the clouds of war are still far from clearing over Konoha's head.

While the whole village of Konoha was cheering for the victory, a meeting of the highest decision-making level of Konoha was held in the office of the highest leader of Konoha.

"Hiruzen, how could you possibly agree to such an outrageous request? How can you be worthy of the many compatriots who died in the battlefield of Amegakure?"

Momo Senju, one of the Hokage's advisors, was furious and pointed at the nose of the Sandaime and cursed.

Konoha won the war with Amegakure, but the result was just a false victory. Konoha did not get the war compensation it deserved from Amegakure.

The reason for all this was that Konoha's Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, decided to agree to Amegakure's surrender request without compensation.

Such an outrageous and unreasonable request, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually agreed.

As a relatively milder Hawkish than Danzo, Momo said that she could not understand or accept such a surrender request at all.

"Momo, this is also a last resort. If Hiruzen does not agree, Hanzo will definitely continue to choose to let Amegakure fight. Now the Land of Rain is a quagmire. We have been stuck in it for too long. If we don't stop the loss, it will only be more harm than good."

Homura Mitokado persuaded.

"Yes, fighting on two fronts is too much for Konoha. The logistics can no longer support it. There is a shortage of supplies on the battlefield. We must end the battlefield in the Land of Rain as soon as possible to let Konoha take a breath.

Besides, the Land of Rain is just a battlefield buffer zone for our Konoha. Land of Rain can't come up with anything good. It's better to agree to this condition and end the battlefield in Land of Rain as soon as possible.

We are at a disadvantage in the battle with Sunagakure, both in the front battlefield and in intelligence. We must end the battlefield in the Land of Rain as soon as possible to free up the troops stationed in the Land of Rain and rush to the battlefield in Land of Wind."

Utatane Koharu also followed suit.

"I understand what you said, but how are you going to explain to the many dead compatriots that their sacrifice can only be exchanged for such a false victory? Do you think the compatriots who fought bloody battles with the enemy on the battlefield of Land of Rain will agree to such a request?

We can accept surrender, but we absolutely cannot accept such unreasonable surrender. Have you ever thought about how other ninja villages will look at us once we agree to such an outrageous surrender request? I am afraid that even small ninja villages will dare to challenge the dignity of our Konoha in the future."

Momo argued with reason and refused to give in.

"Momo, now is not the time to act on impulse. Once we lose the war with Sunagakure, it will be a disaster for our Konoha. Compared with winning Sunagakure, losing a little money and glory is nothing. Don't worry, I will take full responsibility for this."

The Sandaime said in an unquestionable tone, showing the majesty of the Hokage in front of Momo for the first time.

"I don't agree, I definitely don't agree."

Momo's face changed when she heard this, but she still insisted on her own opinion.

Seeing this, the Sandaime sighed in his heart, and suddenly missed his old comrade Danzo.

If Danzo were here, he would certainly strongly oppose it at the beginning, but he would never be as irrational as Momo, and would eventually choose to compromise for the sake of the overall situation.

He began to think that it was a mistake to agree to Mito's compromise conditions to let Momo become the Hokage's advisor.

"Since there is a disagreement, let's vote to decide."

The Sandaime decisively took out the powerful weapon of voting to block Momo's mouth.

According to convention, he, the Hokage, has the right to vote in the resolution. Only if three Hokage advisors oppose him at the same time, his proposal will be rejected.

Momo was of course clear about the Sandaime's purpose, and she was so angry that she trembled all over. She said to the Sandaime with a sad face: "Hiruzen, you will regret it."

"I am the Hokage."

As soon as this was said, the Sandaime immediately said this subconsciously.
