The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Recently, the atmosphere in Konoha Village has been extremely depressing and solemn, as if shrouded in a layer of gloomy haze.

As the tug-of-war with the Cloud and Rock Ninjas on the border continued, the originally kind and gentle smile gradually disappeared from Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, replaced by a look of fatigue and sadness.

The ninjas and villagers of Konoha Village were keenly aware that the Hokage's temper seemed to be getting worse and worse, and sometimes he would suddenly get angry without any warning.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself felt extremely anxious and exhausted, and his emotional control had declined a lot.

Border blockades caused by war will naturally lead to shortages of supplies and rising prices.

In addition, a mysterious organization recently bought up a large amount of materials from the Fire Nation and secretly emptied the warehouses of the daimyo and many nobles. The price of materials in the Fire Nation has skyrocketed, and it has become much more difficult to ensure the supply of materials to the front line, and the burden has become much greater.

These were enough to upset Sarutobi Hiruzen, but this was just the beginning.

First of all, because of the large amount of supplies stolen and the ongoing war, the number of bandits increased sharply, and a large number of noble merchants lost confidence in Konoha. They turned to other ninja villages to issue tasks, and Konoha had fewer daily tasks.

Secondly, Sarutobi Asuma went to the front lines. Although he had been assigned positions with minimal danger at his own suggestion, there was no such thing as guaranteed safety on the battlefield.

Didn't his eldest son, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, and his wife, whom he had high hopes for, inexplicably die in a mission that was extremely dangerous, leaving behind only a poor grandson?

Not only that, many people in Konoha are very concerned about Asuma's achievements, and they discuss Asuma's contributions in the taverns and bars in Konoha.

However, Konoha's overall battle situation on the front line is not good. How can Asuma, who is in a logistics position, achieve outstanding results?

In the tug-of-war between the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja at the border, Konoha was generally on the defensive.

The situation on the Iwagakure side was fine. Ohnoki was clearly in a stage of hesitation and trial, and the conflicts were mainly small-scale.

The tactical characteristics of the Iwagakure are mainly group attacks, and their aggressiveness in small-scale battles is much less, so the threat they pose to Konoha is relatively small.

In comparison, the battle with the Cloud Ninja was more brutal, with many casualties. The Hyuga branch alone lost twenty to thirty exploratory ninjas.

Because of the slander of the mysterious man on the night of the Uchiha genocide and the nonsense spoken by someone pretending to be Asuma, the Sarutobi clan had to embark on the journey.

Those tribesmen with less combat experience suffered heavy casualties, and their resentment towards him increased greatly, making Sarutobi Hiruzen feel like a fire was on his backyard.

Fortunately, in the battle with the Cloud Ninja, many fearless ninjas emerged from the Root and Anbu. Some of them cooperated with Danzo's wind escape and barely entangled the Fourth Raikage.

Another part chose to fight with their lives and die together with many Cloud Ninjas!

In addition, Jiraiya suddenly appeared on the battlefield and provided strong support to the Konoha ninjas.

Perhaps concerned about the actions of other ninja villages, seeing that they could not make a breakthrough for the time being, the Cloud Ninjas were unwilling to fight to the death with Konoha, and slowly withdrew their front lines, confronting Konoha at the border.

Then, the Iwagakure also retreated silently, canceling their attempts to entangle with Konoha, but the troops did not retreat completely.

The ninja world has temporarily returned to peace.

On the day they received the news from the front, the residents of Konoha once again felt the warm smile of the Hokage.

In his speech, the Konoha ninjas were not afraid of sacrifice, and continued to fight, successfully thwarting the evil conspiracy of the Iwagakure and Cloud ninjas.

Among them, Asuma Sarutobi led the Sarutobi clan and made some insignificant contributions. Of course, other ninjas and clans also worked hard and made great contributions.

Unlike what Sarutobi Hiruzen had expected, although the residents of Konoha also applauded and cheered after hearing the news, their enthusiasm was obviously a level lower than before.

This made him sad and panicked, and he felt like things were out of control.

He quickly continued to expand his speech, describing to the audience the great significance of this victory and its benefits to the residents of Konoha, and said that under his leadership, everyone's lives would definitely get better and better.

In the crowd, Hinata Feng yawned out of boredom and complained silently in his heart.

"Isn't this a complete rehash of those bald leaders from my past life, only worse? At least they'd praise others first in meetings, talking about what they'd actually done, and then calmly mention their own achievements. This old monkey has completely replaced the merits of others with empty words like 'contribution.'"

He wasn't the only one complaining. With Hinata Feng's senses, he could easily hear many people whispering.

"The battle is over, but what's the point if prices don't fall? Now a day's work only buys enough food for half a day. I'm totally losing money!"

"What on earth did Asuma do? I heard from my brother-in-law, who retired with a broken leg, that he was protected by a group of people at the front lines!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Recently, many ninjas and villagers in the village have disappeared inexplicably. Many of them are just talking nonsense and that's why they are in trouble."

"Tell me, was that thing that appeared in the sky last time real?"

Listening to these words, Hinata Feng found it very interesting. The old monkey was performing passionately on the stage, but the audience below turned a blind eye to it. It can be seen that the video he played before was still effective.

He really thought that the residents and ninjas of Konoha could be fooled forever. After getting the hint, he would always observe, compare and think.

Just like Kakashi, didn't he have any doubts in his heart about White Fang's death?

The crowd is watching you, Monkey!

Although Hinata Feng didn't like Sarutobi Hiruzen, he didn't have much ill feelings towards him.

For Hinata Feng, as long as he doesn't offend her, she can even treat him as a lovely financial sponsor. After all, the Sarutobi family has contributed a lot of resources to her.

The significance of this war to Hyuga Feng was that many members of the branch family who were hopelessly loyal to the main family and forced others to be their dogs were killed or wounded on the battlefield, and the Hyuga family was purified.

This way, when he takes action next time, his hands will be less stained with the blood of his clansmen!

Unwilling to continue listening to the long and smelly monkey's calls, Hinata Feng retreated stealthily, used the crowd as cover to launch the Flying Thunder God Technique, and disappeared from the spot silently.

"Brother Feng"

When Hinata returned to the clan territory, he saw a cute little loli.

She blinked her cute big eyes and spoke in a soft and lovely voice. She seemed a little shy when she greeted people, touching their fingers together.

"Miss Hinata," Hinata Fengye politely returned the greeting, his eyes full of depth. He quite liked Hinata.

Don't get me wrong, Hinata Feng is not a lolita complex, it's just that the person he likes happens to be a lolita.

Hinata has a good personality and is quite polite to herself, but unfortunately, her father is the head of the main family. When she starts to transform the Hyuga family, this identity will be a sin!
