Chapter 383: One Must Prove to Me!
"How's the situation over there?"
"I don't know, but... it should be over."
Sakumo and Nara Shikakichi took the time to talk about the condition.
It was over. Even Onoki, who wanted to escape, was killed by Guren. What could be the suspense?
However, they, who used to be Konoha, still had some complicated feelings in their hearts at this time.
At this time, several people suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"I am the Marshal of the Alliance Army, Sarutob Hiruzen. Everyone, stop. We... lost."
When Sarutob Hiruzen shouted this sentence with extreme bitterness, he still felt pain in his heart.
The ideology that he had followed had been trampled on one after another, but he had no way to refute it. This pain had completely defeated him.
Following that, Haru also shouted, "All members of Akatsuki, listen up. From now on, do not attack those Ninja Alliance members who have given up resisting. Those who disobey will be severely punished!"
Many people raised their heads one after another. When they confirmed who the person who shouted was and heard Sarutob Hiruzen and Haru repeat these two sentences several times, finally, some people could not bear the pressure of death and began to throw down their weapons one after another, surrendering.
As for Akatsuki, he didn't do anything stupid to anger everyone. He just ignored them and dealt with those who were still stubbornly resisting.
In fact, for most of the people on both sides, they all breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to continue fighting.
However, at this time, Kagami's gaze was locked on the figure next to Haru and Sarutob Hiruzen. Then, he impatiently rushed over.
"You.. You.. Really."
Looking at Kagami's excited and incoherent appearance, Tobirama couldn't help but smile. Then, he stretched out his hand and patted Kagami's shoulder. "I heard that you have been looking for that kid Haru for more than ten years. Thank you for your hard work, Kagami."
With just a simple sentence, Kagami's eyes turned red and he almost cried.
Because of Tobirama's words, he resolutely embarked on the road to find Haru. More than ten years had passed, as always!
In this regard, his family did not understand him. His friends and former companions had been persuading him to give up.
But he still persisted!
It wasn't that he was stupid, nor was it that he was stupid. It was just that he had to do what he promised Tobirama-sama!
If he couldn't find it in a day or two, then it would be a year or two. If he couldn't find it in a year or two, then it would be ten years or twenty years!
It couldn't be helped, the person surnamed Uchiha loved to be stubborn, and he was stubborn!
He would never be able to change it in this lifetime!
Kagami never regretted this. The only thing he was worried about was how Tobirama-sama would think of him if he betrayed Konoha.
Therefore, he was both excited and uneasy just now.
Because he did not know Tobirama-sama's current attitude.
But now, Tobirama's words of emotion and his hard work had already made Kagami's heart surge. He felt that all the efforts he had put in all these years were worth it!
Tobirama's recognition even made Kagami feel more happy and excited than Akatsuki unifying Ninja World!
Those who had not experienced that era could not imagine the meaning of the names Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.
That was the sky above all of Konoha!
It was the same for Kagami as well.
"Alright, you're already so old. Why are you still so ignorant? Why are your eyes so red?"
"Yes, Tobirama-sama!"
After reflexively standing up straight, Kagami was just like before.
Haru also knew that the reason why Kagami had given up and helped him manage Akatsuki all these years was mostly because of Tobirama.
If not for Tobirama, Kagami wouldn't have been looking for him for more than ten years, and it was even more impossible for him to betray the village for him.
Therefore, during the period when Tobirama was asleep, Haru still received a lot of help because of Tobirama.
After all, it was not shameful to have connections!
Very quickly, all of the ninjas who had lost their morale gave up on resisting.
After a rough estimate, only less than five thousand of the originally 15,000 ninjas were left.
Among the less than 5,000 ninjas, more than 3,000 of them were Konoha's ninjas, and 1,000 were Iwagakure's men.
The remaining Kirigakure was originally a spy, and without counting, the group of people who were bewitched by Black Zetsu did not count, and the rest were the casualties.
It was simply tragic!
Although Konoha had a lot of people left, there were also a lot of people who came out.
There were only half of the seven thousand people left before the departure.
Although Akatsuki occupied the right time, place, and people, plus White Zetsu as cannon fodder, it was also the land that dyed Amegakure in blood.
But the good news was that they won in the end!
Although a lot of people had been sacrificed, at least the result was delightful.
What they were most afraid of was that many people had died, and they had lost, not getting anything.
Looking at the corpses on the ground that did not have time to collect, and the dejected look on the faces of the surviving Ninja Alliance Army, Sarutob Hiruzen walked out in a daze.
Now that the situation was settled, Haru could not be bothered to care about him.
For the sake of Tobirama, it was not impossible to spare the other party's life and let him enjoy his later years.
Only Tobirama vaguely sensed that something was wrong with his disciple, but in the end, he sighed and did not try to stop him.
"Did I really do something wrong?"
In a daze, Danzo's figure seemed to appear in front of Sarutobi. He said coldly to him, "Have you really decided? Are you going to admit defeat just like that?"
"Yes, I regret it. Perhaps Tobirama is the right person."
"Bullshit! The winner is the king and the loser is the thief. How can there be any right or wrong! If you have the strength of Senju Haru, the person who will win today will be you, and Tobirama-sensei will stand on your side!"
"Could it be that only strength is everything?"
"Strength is not everything, but it is the foundation of a ninja. You only want to guard the things left behind by the ancestors, but that guy is sure that he can create another 'Konoha'. Just comparing the breadth of mind and spirit, you have already lost! And with your personality, you are not suitable to be Hokage at all!"
"You're right. I really don't like being Hokage. Everything that happens in the future has nothing to do with me. Maybe it proves that I was wrong. For the current Ninja World, it is right."
Sarutobi suddenly revealed a smile of relief and then activated the explosion talisman that was pasted all over his underwear.
This was originally the last 'gift' he left for Haru, but in the end, he still left it for himself.
He had always been such a contradictory person.
In his heart, he did not acknowledge Haru's philosophy, nor did he approve of the other party's actions. He was even more unwilling to see so many casualties. However, after the matter was settled, at this moment, he sincerely hoped that Tobirama-sensei were right. Senju Haru really had the ability to achieve eternal peace and create an unprecedented age!
"Senju Haru, you must prove it to me!"
Boom!
Along with the explosion, Sarutob Hiruzen chose to end his life.
