Chapter 321 Changes in the new era!
Konoha.
Ever since the Chunin Exam, the entire ninja world has fallen into an eerie calm, and the countries have tacitly reached a rare state of peace.
Even some small countries that were in civil strife were affected by this force and began to calm down.
After the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi counterattacked and took over the Hidden Mist Village, he officially announced to the public that the bloody mist was the work of a mysterious person manipulating the Mizukage, and the bloody mist policy was canceled from then on.
At the same time, drastic reforms were carried out in the Hidden Mist Village, and some unwilling Mist ninjas and those who had already become cruel and perverted were expelled or hunted down.
The turmoil within the Water Country could not cause any waves as Konoha's new forces were defeated one after another. At the same time, taking advantage of the reform of the Kirigakure, the fusion of Konoha and the Kirigakure was also proceeding smoothly.
Various projects such as military, education, medical care, and missions began to cooperate, especially in the ninja school, where Konoha and Kirigakure started to exchange students.
Half of the students in school rushed to Konoha to study together. Both the children themselves and their parents were very relieved. No matter what, at least they didn't have to worry about the graduation exams.
The Konoha ninjas and Kirigakure ninjas who were about to graduate also began to form teams to increase their tacit cooperation, especially the military forces of Konoha stationed in the Kirigakure Village, and the two countries began to communicate with each other.
Inside Mizukage's office.
"Lord Mizukage, the situation has been changing recently. At the beginning of the cooperation, some people were not used to it, but since the cancellation of the Blood Mist and some policy changes, the people below have been very active..."
Listening to the reports from Ma Buyi and Samui, the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, who was dressed in blue, looked like she had a headache.
"Ma Buyi, Samui, there's no need to be so formal with each other. Fortunately, you two were seconded from Ye's side. Otherwise, I really couldn't stand all these government affairs..."
The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, looked at the two of them with a smile on her face. They were indeed the most capable duo of Hokage secretaries. She understood why Ye was willing to give up his power.
Without him!
A lot of trivial matters will be handled by the people below you, and in the end you only need to confirm it, which saves a lot of time.
Ma Buyi smiled gently and shook her head, "Sister Ming, you are the Mizukage now, you can't be so casual anymore."
Sam Yi on the side was more aloof, but still nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Ye's plan has been fully implemented. Fortunately, the policy in Blood Mist is unpopular, so under the new policy, the people below are the most cooperative."
Looking at the two of them, Mei Terumi showed a charming smile and teased:
"You two are really capable."
Under the teasing and meaningful look of Mei Terumi, the usually cold and beautiful Samui's face suddenly became a little hot, while Ma Buyi beside her smiled and nodded:
"Sister Ming is the most capable one. Lord Ye has very high expectations of you."
As the three of them were teasing each other, the entire Hidden Mist Village entered a process of rapid integration with Konoha.
The Hidden Mist Village responded much faster than the Sand Ninja. After all, the previous blood mist was not just about being unpopular, but about people being in panic, which led to fear and hatred among countless people in the entire Hidden Mist Village.
Especially the rule that ninjas must fight with their companions after graduation and only one can survive, which is difficult for countless Kirigakure to accept.
This time, we finally saw the joint efforts of Kirigakure and Konoha to bring about change, which gave the ninjas enough status and respect. It also allowed them to feel the future of being a normal ninja, so they were naturally very positive.
Especially the parents of these ninjas, or the ninjas who are about to become parents, and some parents who were originally not planning to have children, saw hope at this moment.
Sand Hidden Village.
The fifth Kazekage Yekura sat calmly in the Kazekage's office. During this period, some bloody incidents occurred in the Sand Village.
"Your Excellency Fengying, the village was attacked by a mysterious person, and Elder Datian and... Elder were all killed."
Listening to the report, Ye Cang showed a calm expression and nodded calmly:
"Got it. We have already started in-depth cooperation with Konoha and the Land of Water. The expensive fruits, vegetables, and seafood in the Land of Wind will be transported here continuously. I don't want anyone to ruin such a good life."
"Yes! Lord Kazekage!"
After returning to the Sand Village and taking power, the first step of the Kazekage Yegura was revenge. She launched an iron-blooded revenge on the elders who had chosen to abandon her, in order to intimidate some evil-minded people in the village.
Then there is her representative identity, which affects the alliance between Konoha and the Water Kingdom. The trade between the three countries has brought unimaginable rich supplies to the Sand Ninja and even the entire Wind Kingdom.
Taking this opportunity, many people in the Sand Village have completely turned to Ye Cang. After all, they had previously vigorously promoted the great power of Konoha Uchiha Ya and Senju Tsunade, and even the Iwagakure and Kumogakure did not dare to say a word.
"Sister, maybe it's right to leave the Sand Village to Ye Cang."
In just a few months, visible changes have been seen in the Sand Village. Fruits and seafood that were once scarce now appear in large quantities in the village. Ebizo could not help but be deeply impressed by this scene.
"The cheap food, fruits and vegetables from the Fire Country, and the seafood from the Water Country, aren't these what we once greedily pursued? Now we have obtained them..."
Looking through the window at the changes in the village, Ebizo spoke with emotion, while Elder Chiyo beside him shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"The Sand Village can no longer withstand any turmoil. Regardless of whether Rasa is being manipulated or not, if Ye Cang is not allowed to take the position, the Sand Village will not be able to withstand the wrath of either the Mangekyo or Wood Release.
We even stayed in Konoha with the One-Tail. Whether it was to preserve Sand Village's status as one of the five great ninja villages or for the sake of the village, we had no choice..."
Chiyo murmured to herself, this was one of the reasons why the two siblings chose to fully support Ye Cang.
If Ye Cang comes to power, there will be no war!
Otherwise, with the current Sand Village, it would not be able to withstand the revenge from Konoha, and now it is not like before. The entire ninja world would probably stand idly by and watch the Sand Village being retaliated by Konoha.
After all, Konoha has a well-known master, and with the addition of Wood Release and Mangekyō, no one in the entire ninja world wants to provoke them. Some people even want to see how much power the Sand Village, one of the five major ninja villages, can force Konoha to exert.
"Sister, how many years do we two old guys have left to live? And Ye Cang has made it clear that he will train Temari as the Sixth Kazekage. This is something Konoha has agreed to."
Ebizo showed a gratified smile. At least the fifth and sixth generations were from their Sand Village. From this point, it can be seen that Konoha is indeed not domineering and wants to destroy the Sand Village.
"Temari!"
Elder Chiyo bowed his head and said, Temari had stayed in Konoha since she was three or four years old, and now it has been thirteen years before she came back, but it is still better than others.
"I heard that Gaara has joined the ninja team in Konoha, and the team members are Uchiha Sasuke and Namikaze Naruto, disciples of the Konoha Hokage, and the leader is Hatake Kakashi."
As Ebizo's voice echoed, the brother and sister looked at each other and revealed a hint of relief in their helplessness.
"Fortunately, Konoha's Kage has the broad mind and kindness of the First Hokage."
Faced with absolute power, they didn't even have the strength to resist, but now they feel gratified by the other party's kindness. It has to be said that this is really an ironic joke.
But the fusion of Sand Ninja and Konoha, as old antiques who have experienced the initial establishment of the five major ninja villages, they have witnessed and experienced that era with their own eyes.
Because of the establishment of the powerful Konoha, the ninja families that once had hatred for each other had no choice but to join forces to resist the powerful Konoha.
As time passed, the birth, aging, illness and death of the previous generation took away the Warring States Period and also took away the hatred of that period.
And this is obviously what Konoha did!
It will take two generations to eliminate hatred and estrangement!
After the two generations of Ye Cang and Temari, the new generation of Sand Ninja, Kirigakure, and Konoha will be a new era, and there will be no hatred between them. Just like the transition from the Warring States Period to the Ninja Village Era!
Only those who have lived through that era can understand all of this, while those who have not experienced it will only doubt it.
……
Konoha.
"I never thought that the young generation I thought of as a kid would actually have such great ideals."
Walking through the village and looking at the additional Sand Ninjas and Kirigakure in Konoha Village, Jiraiya felt a sense of melancholy. He thought it was just an illusion, but he never thought that this young man actually did it.
Minato Namikaze on the side also nodded in admiration and said, "Yes, Master Jiraiya. I thought you were taking it for granted at first, but I never thought that in just a few years, you have actually achieved this."
The master and disciple entered through the Konoha gate and watched the daily changes in Konoha along the way, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Finally, the master and the apprentice were sitting in a tavern.
"Teacher Jiraiya, please drink less."
Looking at Jiraiya who was slightly drunk, Minato Namikaze could not help but sigh and admonish him helplessly, while Jiraiya on the side was playing with the wine glass in his hand and smiling.
"Minato, I am such a failure. At least I had someone to drink with at the beginning, but now Tsunade is busy training or mumbling about research every day, and Orochimaru is nowhere to be seen..."
Jiraiya was also a little lost. He seemed to be with them in the past, but now he seemed to have fallen behind.
It's not that I fell behind in strength, but I didn't realize it. At first I thought they had gone astray, but it turned out that I was the one who had remained where I was.
Tsunade and Orochimaru bravely moved forward and tried new paths, but he was confused.
"Teacher, you think too much."
Seeing Jiraiya's melancholy, Minato couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"Ye Jun did not rise to power overnight. We witnessed every step he took, from the innocent and childish dream of peace he portrayed in the book at the beginning to his attempts that were constantly revealed in the book later on.
It is even clearly written in the book that he does not know which road is the right one in the future, but someone must take the first step, so that a new road can be formed, to warn future generations whether this road leads to the top of the mountain or to a dead end..."
The two of them clinked glasses and drank a lot, and at the end Jiraiya raised his glass with laughter.
"No matter what, at least I'm convinced this time! Cheers to peace in the ninja world!"
Jiraiya poured the wine into his throat in big gulps and smiled with relief. At least the current situation was much better than he had imagined.
Even he was furious at the turmoil of the Chuunin Exams at the beginning and wanted to take revenge on both countries.
But Uchiha Ye's unexpected policy actually gave these people, who truly pursued peace, hope.
War may be necessary on the road to peace, but Uchiha Yaya told the world that he does not hope to achieve this goal through pure war.
The various policies of the three kingdoms, the Water Kingdom, the Wind Kingdom, and the Fire Kingdom, are now integrated, coupled with the reform ideas that Konoha is constantly promoting openly.
This made Jiraiya completely impressed. Uchiha Ye wanted to tell the ninja world, and also wanted to see with his own eyes whether the path he chose was wrong.
If the three kingdoms begin to merge and move in a good direction, then it will prove that his path is correct!
Training Course.
"Psychic magic! Look at my Vajra Ruyi Stick!"
"Gaara, let's go! Let's give Kakashi a good show together. Look at my Rasengan!"
"Damn it! Gaara, stay away from me, your sand. Once it's contaminated by my water jutsu, be careful and slow down..."
"Long-winded!"
In the huge training ground, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Hozuki Suigetsu and Gaara continued to display their own ninjutsu.
And Kakashi Hatake has never been in a state of neglect, especially his other Sharingan is usually sealed, which makes him not a drag at all. Kakashi's strength is not a little bit strong.
"It seems I need to be serious too!"
Hatake Kakashi pushed away the forehead protector and unsealed himself. In an instant, the three magatama of his Sharingan spun and turned into a kaleidoscope. He stared solemnly at the four people who continued to fight.
Kankuro, who happened to see the competition from a distance, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
"Gaara actually spoke!?"
On the side, Akimichi Choji was eating snacks, while Nara Shikamaru held his forehead helplessly and said helplessly: "Why do you say that as if Gaara can't talk?"
"No! No!"
Kankuro waved his hands, wanting to explain something, but in the end he didn't know what to say.
But Kankuro was really shocked. Gaara had always been indifferent, but this time he saw the word "nagging", and even the four of them cooperated with each other.
At this time, Gaara, who was in the training ground, kept looking at Namikaze Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke is the same Jinchūriki as him, which makes him feel like he has found a kindred spirit, but the feeling that Naruto Uzumaki gives him is a little different.
"This is youth!"
At this moment, Xiao Li and Might Guy passed by and saw this scene, and suddenly burst into youthful roars.
This scene made Kankuro speechless and embarrassed, but unknowingly, he didn't realize that he seemed to have begun to integrate into Konoha.
"Kankuro, remember to invite everyone to dinner later."
At this time, the guiding jonin behind their team appeared, and Kankuro couldn't help but nodded respectfully:
"Yes, Itachi-sensei!"
Uchiha Itachi was originally the guiding jonin of Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji and Inuzuka Kiba, and now there is a transfer student, Kankuro.
It can also prove to the outside world that Konoha does not discriminate against anyone.
Gaara joined Kakashi's team. There were many such teams in Konoha. Also, there were many Konoha ninja transfer students in Sand Village.
Both parties are quickly merging into companions and establishing new bonds.
