As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha!

Iwagakure is forced to continue using the Land of Lightning's route because the supply lines are too far away. If they were to use the newly built Kannabi Bridge, it would create a situation where they would have to split up with Kumogakure and could easily arouse the vigilance of the neighboring Land of Wind, making it easy for them to fight with the mentally unstable Rasa.

However, the increase in transportation costs is not just a little bit; after more than a year, it seems that even the daimyo of the Land of Earth have something to say about it.

The situation in the Land of Lightning is slightly better, but as the main force, they have suffered extremely heavy casualties. War is about money and interests, but now the Raikage has to consider the benefits to the Hidden Cloud Village even if they fight to the death to destroy Konoha.

Continuing the war raises the issue of cost-effectiveness, making a ceasefire seem necessary.

As for Konoha

Fire Nation.

Inside Konoha Village.

Itachi Uchiha, now a year and a half older, strolled through the village with his brother Asuma.

His wise eyes reflected the numb villagers and the elderly people who waited anxiously at the village entrance, only to find their loved ones never returning.

What did the war bring to Konoha?

The compassionate Itachi watched all of this.

Compared to before, he realized that some wars had to be fought, even if there were no benefits.

However, some of these problems can actually be avoided.

For example, the current stalemate.

Itachi's clever mind believed that if his father led the Uchiha clan to fight desperately, regardless of their own lives, and persuaded the Hyuga clan to do the same, the war should end quickly.

But his father didn't seem to intend to do that, nor did the Hyuga clan.

The Konoha Twin Eyes who appeared at the beginning of the war performed adequately in the subsequent protracted battle, merely completing their assigned tasks.

Yes, many Uchiha people died, but putting aside the facts, even if the entire clan sacrificed themselves for the village, wasn't that what they should have done?

The village can't withstand any more turmoil!

"Itachi, I always feel like my dad is thinking about something not so good."

Asma paused, frowning as he spoke.

"He's been getting too close to Uncle Danzo lately. Honestly, he's about to step down, and he still makes his son worry about him."

Three generations of adults?

Itachi remained silent. From his perspective, he shouldn't criticize the Hokage, as this was a sensitive issue in the village.

Especially now that rumors are circulating in the village that three generations of people will lose their jobs once the war ends, he shouldn't be speaking up.

Besides, that's his friend's father; he has no right to comment.

"Let's go grab a couple of drinks."

Passing by a tavern, Asuma lit a cigarette for himself and then expertly handed one to Itachi, suggesting they go to the tavern for a drink and a chat, and exchange opinions on the situation in the village.

But Itachi clearly didn't have that idea. He took the cigarette from Asuma, put it in his pocket without smoking it, and a look of apology appeared on his face.

"Not today, I want to go see Sasuke."

Yes, Sasuke has been staying with the Hyuga clan these past few days.

Asma suddenly realized what was happening and regretfully said goodbye to his good friend.

Just as Itachi doesn't judge his father, he also doesn't judge Itachi's father, Fugaku-senpai.

But even if they didn't judge, rumors about their father had already spread throughout the village.

Moreover, in terms of sheer impact, they are evenly matched.

However, the nature of the content is completely different.

His father was bad at being the Hokage, while Itachi's father had purely personality issues.

For example, there was shocking news coming from within the Uchiha clan that the Uchiha clan head had not yet had a third son, so he wanted to divorce his wife and marry another. However, it seems that in order to protect Mikoto's reputation, the divorce was changed to taking a concubine. What is puzzling is that the bridal sedan chair carried out by the Uchiha clan eventually stopped at the Hyuga clan.

You just can't think about the problems here; the more you think about it, the more you admire Fugaku Uchiha.

Goodbye Asmago.

Itachi quickly arrived at the Hyuga clan's territory.

Now that the area has been completed, its enormous territory is the envy of other ninja clans in Konoha, yet they are still unwilling to leave the heart of Konoha.

The flank of the Hyuga clan's territory is their own private training ground, but the training programs they use still terrify Itachi Uchiha.

He had never seen such a form of rotation before. It was a human rotation with Hyuga Hizashi as the axis, and everyone holding hands and rotating together. It not only significantly increased the power, but also allowed for movement.

This technique, known as the Great Reversal Battle Formation, seems to have never appeared in the ninja world before.

After passing through the training grounds, Itachi arrived at the Hyuga clan's central hall area, where Hyuga clan leader Hijiri, his girlfriends, and the Hyuga children played. Further back was Hyuga clan leader Hijiri's back residence. Another area that looked somewhat peaceful seemed to be the residential area for non-combatants, but Itachi felt it was rather deserted no matter how he looked at it.

Itachi strode into the main hall, bowed to Hyuga Hisei, then quickly walked to Sasuke's side, picked him up, and led him to a corner, a smile on his face.

The atmosphere here was peaceful and tranquil, a stark contrast to the heavy, deathly aura of the village, making it seem like a paradise. However, he dared not look around and simply played with his younger brother with his eyes fixed straight ahead. After dinner, he would take Sasuke back to the Uchiha clan for a couple of days.

Hilarious! Sasuke now treats going back to the Uchiha clan like a casual visit, as if the Hyuga clan is his real home.

"You really like your daughter?"

The central seat in the main hall.

Seeing Hyuga Hiroki with one arm around a girl who was a little over a year old, Tsunade, standing next to him, asked with a slightly flushed face.

"I like them all, as long as they're my own children."

What kind of talk is that? Do you think I'd cuckold you? And forget about cuckolding, you're not going to lay a seed in my body, are you? Do you expect me to just say it out loud? That scoundrel of a man has gone too far!

Tsunade snorted, seemingly dissatisfied with Hinata's reply.

Hinata Himeko didn't explain, but simply looked down at the girl in his arms on his left with a smile, his mind free of any other thoughts.

Her name is Hinata Hyuga.

They are fresh blood belonging to the Hyuga clan, born in the flames of war.

The war ended much earlier than originally reported, just as expected.

It remains to be seen whether the final outcome will be different after this ceasefire.

The opportunity he had been waiting for seemed to be just around the corner.

"It's time to decide whether to stay or leave."

Chapter 92 Konoha Year: Peace Talks!

Chapter 92 Konoha's 50th Anniversary: ​​Peace Talks!

In the original work, Hinata Hyuga was born at the end of December in Konoha Year 48, which was exactly two months after the Nine-Tails' attack.

However, in this timeline, it seems that Rizu was very busy those few days and was not in the clan's territory. His wife, whether out of unease or something else, deliberately held back from giving birth.

As a matter of course, Hinata's arrival was delayed by several days, making her a year younger than in the original story, and she was born in early 49.

Now, a year has passed since Hinata was born.

It's Konoha's 50th anniversary right now, and her birthday is in a few days.

of course.

Actually, compared to another matter, it's not a big deal that she was born a few days later.

For example, the mischievous girl that Hinata Hiroshi is currently holding with his other arm is looking at him with her pure white eyes and occasionally grabbing his little hand to laugh.

Her name is Hinata Hanabi.

The girl who was supposed to be born a few years later is now Hinata's twin.

Compared to the original work, this is unreasonable, yet it makes sense.

Maybe it was Hanabi, the mischievous younger sister, who held onto her older sister tightly, preventing her from coming out?

Holding the twins in his arms, Hinata Himeko gazed at them gently, a sense of peace settling over him.

Although they are only one year old, the sisters' personalities are already evident.

One is lively and active, eager to crawl all over the place, while the other is quiet and prefers to sit there and enjoy its own beauty. In short, they are easy to distinguish.

A year and a half later, everything in the Hyuga clan was back on track.

Orochimaru's research progress is also encouraging. The first batch of blue-bottled cataract eye drops has been successfully developed. Chief Nichisei examined it and confirmed that it does improve the purity of the white eye, but the effect is average. Its main advantage is that it has no side effects.

Moreover, research related to the human body is not something that can be easily accomplished. Besides, this is only one of Orochimaru's research results. You can't expect more from an externally hired research director.

Compared to the changes in the clan, the inner quarters of the Nichisei clan chief's household have also been improved.

As the kitten's infatuation deepened, the brainwashing of Samui became more and more effective. Now, the blonde beauty is no longer so resistant to wearing maid outfits.

and

Hinata Himaru gently stroked Samui's long golden hair as he massaged Samui's shoulders and smiled.

He had only mentioned it casually a while ago, but he never expected that she would actually start growing her hair long.

"Don't get me wrong, it's Yukito who thinks I look good with long hair."

Samui said, feigning indifference.

Yes, it's all that slut Yuki's fault!

Hinata Hiroko didn't expose her disguise; he only knew that the little cat's PUA work was very effective.

Well, besides Samui joining the maid job, the arrival of another girl with long black hair also made Hinata Himo somewhat silent.

Brother Fugaku is serious.

He really did send over a new sister-in-law, and she was a virgin with the title of "new sister-in-law."

Well, he underestimated Fugaku's determination and overestimated the bottom line of the people of Japan. It seems that in ancient Japan, such behavior was not something to be ashamed of. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Lord Nichijou intends to follow suit, but for the time being, he does not intend to touch the woman named Uchiha Mina.

the reason is simple.

She is Uchiha Mikoto's younger sister. Before becoming a beast, he always had to take care of Mikoto's feelings. However, judging from Mikoto's appearance, she seems to be more proactive than him, constantly pushing her sister towards him. It's estimated that it won't be long before the defenseless Lord Hijiri can't resist and submits to them.

Besides, Rena Uzumaki, who came to Konoha a year ago, became good friends with Tsunade, and according to Rena Uzumaki's family tree, the two seem to be related by blood.
