Chapter 265: Chapter 265 The Return of the Army
The sun enveloped the earth, and the remaining snow melted.
In the early morning, in a cave somewhere in a mountain range in the Land of Wind.
Tsunade walked out of the cave slowly. Because the remaining snow melted, the weather was even colder than when it snowed yesterday.
Even with her strength, her body shivered.
"Huh!"
However, in those beautiful eyes, there was a sense of relief. She took a long breath of the cold but extremely clear air, and the whole person immediately felt refreshed.
Tsunade raised her eyes and looked at this valley.
She stood at the edge of the cave for a long time, stunned for a moment.
"You're awake."
Suddenly, a voice came from the top of the valley. Tsunade's eyes tilted slightly, and Sakumo had already appeared beside her.
"It seems that I was too relaxed and slept too much." She smiled lightly.
Sakumo smiled faintly and said, "After fighting continuously, everyone is very tired, and you as the commander are even more so. Now that our war is over, there is nothing wrong with oversleeping occasionally."
Tsunade shrugged undeniably, and then sighed, "Yes, our war is over."
In the Second Shinobi War, Konoha undoubtedly won a great victory, but this does not mean that the war is really over.
Even if it is the Land of Fire Konoha, it is only one of the parties in this Shinobi War. On the other side of the distant land, the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning are still at war.
However, the dispute there will not last too long with the end of the war here.
The reason is very simple. Anyone can see that in the Second War, Konoha was the only one that claim victory. First, the three sannin fought against the demigod Salamander Hanzo, Sakumo killed Tsuchiguki of the Rock Ninja Unit, and then Tsunade and Chiyo, the two new and old powerful female ninjas, fought.
Finally, Minato and Sakumo successively killed Saburo and Sunae, two high-level puppeteer of the Sand Village.
In the past, Konoha had the God of Ninjas, the First Hokage, and the leader of the powerful Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara, who looked down upon the ninja world. Today's Konoha, although not as good as it was then, is also full of strong people: the Three Sannin, Sakumo and others, and young ninjas with potential like Minato.
At this time, if the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning were still fighting each other and continued to consume their own strength, it would be really stupid.
"Since it's over, it's time to go home as soon as possible." Sakumo said, and his voice was a little turbulent because of the thought of returning home.
Tsunade was the same, but she still asked one more question: "Where are the others?"
The continuous battles made the Konoha ninjas physically and mentally exhausted, so it was normal for them to rest for another day or two.
"You can see for yourself." Sakumo raised his white eyebrows, and then people appeared everywhere in the valley.
Tsunade listened and watched, and the impatience on everyone's faces was clear at a glance.
So, she smiled softly, and then said: "Well, let's hurry up and go back to Konoha!"
Two days later, Konoha Ninja Village.
During the war, due to various reasons, there were few people on the main road of the village, and the whole Konoha was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
This depressing and suffocating situation lasted for more than a year.
However, this atmosphere was eliminated two days ago when the front-line war report was sent back to the village.
The Konoha troops who invaded the Land of Wind won a great victory!
This news spread throughout the village in a very short time. For the civilians of Konoha, this news is naturally worth celebrating, but it is not enough to make everyone excited.
After all, this is a battle between the entire ninja world. Although it involves the interests of the big countries behind them, for the people, they just want to live a stable and peaceful life.
What's more, the Second Ninja War has not yet ended.
However, for the ninjas who stayed in Konoha Village, it was undoubtedly a great joy for them, and their joy was beyond words.
But even if the front battlefield has achieved a great victory, the defence work still needs to continue.
Swish!
In a corner of the village, a thin figure flashed and came to a corner.
"Rin, why are you here?"
A slightly surprised voice came from a corner, and then a pretty red-haired girl came out from the shadows. In more than half a year, Kushina's height has changed a little, and her cheeks, which originally had a little baby fat, have become much thinner.
The girl at that time, now has the shadow of a beauty.
"I'll take over your shift."
The girl in front of Kushina laughed. She was her classmate with Minato at the time, a girl named Takenouchi Rin, who was becoming more and more beautiful, but compared with Kushina, she was still a little dull.
Kushina was slightly startled and said, "Take over? My shift will only end at sunset, right?"
Because Sandaime made the decision to attack the Land of Wind, the original grouping of the guards in the village has changed a lot.
Takenouchi Rin and Kushina were put in the same group.
"Yes." Takenouchi Rin laughed and said, "But the frontline troops will be back to the village soon." As soon as she finished speaking, there was a little ripple in Kushina's eyes, but that emotion was quickly restrained by her.
"Yeah." Kushina hummed lightly.
"What are you humming for? Hurry to the village gate. They will be back soon." Takenouchi Rin pushed Kushina and asked her to go quickly.
"But." Kushina still hesitated.
Seeing her like this, Takenouchi Rin laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the "Red Hot Habenero" would become so timid one day."
Kushina heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she said, "Who is timid!"
She spoke quickly, and blurted out with a strange ending.
"If not, you should go quickly. If Minato doesn't see you when he returns to the village, he will be sad." Takenouchi Rin teased.
Kushina actually felt secretly delighted by this teasing, and then smiled at Takenouchi Rin and said, "Thank you."
"It's nothing. Compared to your help to me during the Ninja Trial, this is just a small matter." Takenouchi Rin smiled and said, "What's more, Minato is now the hero of the village and you are his heroine"
The whole class knew about the relationship between Minato and Kushina.
Swish!
Before she finished her words, there was only a gust of wind in front of her.
The main gate of Konoha.
"They are back, they are back!"
When the figures became clear in their eyes, the Konoha ninjas who came to greet them all exclaimed.
At this time, Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three high-ranking officials of Konoha were in the center of the crowd. Except for Danzo, the faces of the three high-ranking officials also showed smiles.
Swish, swish, swish!
Figures finally appeared outside the main gate of Konoha, and among the dozens of people who first appeared in front of everyone, Tsunade and Orochimaru stepped forward.
"Kids, you've worked hard." Sandaime said, with a slightly wrinkled face, full of joy.
Tsunade and others stepped forward, stood in front of Sandaime and several Konoha high-level officials, and said at the same time.
"We are home!"
