? Konoha, Hokage office.
"Yu, what on earth is going on?!"
Including Minato Namikaze, all the senior officials of Konoha were present, and Third Hokage looked at Yu questioningly.
"What else could happen..."
"Didn't I successfully complete the mission..."
Yu leaned against the wall lazily, looking at the nails on his hands indifferently.
"Don't make jokes with me! You know what I mean!"
"According to reports from ninjas on the battlefield, you made puppets out of the corpses of enemies you killed. Are these true?!"
Third Hokage seemed to be a little angry and raised his voice, just like the mood in the anime when he discovered that his most beloved disciple Orochimaru was secretly conducting human experiments. Staring at the young man in front of him who he couldn't understand, Third Hokage's eyes were mixed with a trace of unconcealable regret.
"Teacher Sarutobi, you have no idea what happened at that time..."
"Not only are Rock Ninja more numerous than us, but they have also dispatched Jinchuriki. If you don't make powerful opponents into Human Puppet to increase their combat power, are you going to let us all die there?!"
Facing Third Hokage's question, Yu also raised his tone and looked directly into Third Hokage's eyes calmly. "Moreover, Puppet Technique and Human Puppet Secret Technique are all trophies I obtained by killing enemies normally when Land of Wind was performing S-level missions. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"This..."
Hearing Yu's rebuttal, Third Hokage was immediately speechless.
Although Human Puppet Secret Technique is a forbidden technique that turns human corpses into puppets, it is considered taboo by the normal ninja world.
However, there were a large number of enemy troops on the battlefield at that time, and in the critical situation where Jinchuriki was dispatched, Yu resorted to such extreme forbidden techniques to reverse the situation of the battle and save Konoha's ninjas. This seemed reasonable and reasonable.
And the most important point is that Yu now not only has the production method of Medical Talisman in his hands, but also has great value and significance to the entire Konoha.
Moreover, he was one of the biggest contributors to Konoha in this war. The huge changes in his strength and status have made it impossible for Konoha's senior officials to hold him directly accountable like ordinary ninjas.
"Then you can't just take away the bodies of Iwagakure Five-Tails Jinchuriki and Cloud Village Third Raikage on the battlefield!"
At this time, Utatane Koharu next to Third Hokage spoke up, "Do you know how much pressure we have endured in this matter?!"
"Iwagakure and Cloud Village have asked us to hand you over more than once..."
"Although the Ninja World war is temporarily over, the accumulated strength in the village is still very scarce. If Land of Earth and Land of Lightning use this as an excuse to start a war with us again..."
But before Utatane Koharu finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Yu.
"You guys?"
Looking at the Utatane Koharu in front of him, his eyes swept over every Konoha High Command present, a disdainful smile appeared on Yu's face, "Oh... you are referring to you Konoha High Command, right?"
"Then agree to their request! Hand me over, I have no objection..."
Yu smiled calmly and said slightly sarcastically, "Just like Konoha White Fang, this is not the first time you have persecuted ninjas in the same village... isn't it?"
"You!"
Faced with Yu's sarcasm, Utatane Koharu stared, but could not find any words to refute.
After all, when Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo committed suicide eight years ago due to slanderous rumors, the entire Konoha High Command must bear the responsibility.
"Alas..."
Only Third Hokage looked at Yu with a complicated expression, which seemed astonished, yet also seemed regretful, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.
Yu Ling's sharp words seemed to remind him of what happened eight years ago. If he had insisted on his position at that time, tragedy like White Fang might not have happened at all.
"Sacrificing the interests of the few to fulfill the interests of the majority in exchange for the so-called 'peace'..."
"Isn't this the usual style of you Konoha High Command?"
Looking at all the Konoha High Commands present in front of him, thinking of the ninjas who went through life and death on the battlefield, and then looking at these old people hiding in the village playing tricks of power, Yu suddenly growled in disgust.
"Yu..."
Looking at Yu's expression in a daze, Third Hokage had the impression that the young man in front of him was always so graceful and graceful. It was rare to see him behave like this.
"Okay, that's it for now."
Looking at Third Hokage in front of him, Yu suddenly noticed that his face seemed to be a little older. Thinking of how much this old man had been protecting him, he felt a little unbearable in his heart for some reason.
"No matter what, you decide for yourself..."
After saying that, Yu walked out of the Hokage office without looking back.
"I'm really pissed off! Sarutobi! Look at your disciple!"
"Just because you are Konoha's hero, can you be lawless?!"
"For such a rebellious boy, you had to put him on the list of candidates for Hokage!"
Seeing that Yu completely ignored the attitudes of all Konoha High Command present, only Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura roared angrily.
"That's enough, stop talking!"
Looking at Yu's leaving figure, Third Hokage suddenly shouted angrily in annoyance.
Seeing Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura close their mouths obediently, Third Hokage finally showed a trace of struggle and confusion on his old face.
For the sake of the village... do I really have to do this?
Is it right or wrong?
After coming out of the Hokage office, walk on the street of Konoha.
Yu felt a dull feeling in his chest, and the constant flow of people on both sides made him feel as if he was in an independent world.
Pain, Uchiha Madara, Kaguya Otsutsuki, Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki...
It is clear that they will have to face enemies one after another that are so powerful that it is almost impossible to defeat them, but these ignorant people are still entangled in these trivial matters that seem insignificant to Yu.
From a certain perspective, Nagato's idea may be right. Only when people experience pain will they cherish the peace in front of them more.
My mind was a little confused and I walked aimlessly. Unknowingly, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased.
Yu came to an empty training ground. Under the setting sun, only the empty swing was swaying alone.
At this time, a familiar figure suddenly flashed not far away in front of him, attracting all of Yu's attention.
"Yugao!"
"Tell me why you have been avoiding me for so long!"
On the side path, I saw a Anbu Ninja taking off the cat-face mask on her face and catching up with another Anbu female ninja in front of her.
"I beg you, please stop pestering me Hayate."
"And we are still on a mission. Calling each other by their real names is already against the rules of Anbu."
Seeing that the road in front of her was blocked by someone, the Anbu female ninja reluctantly took off her rabbit-faced mask, revealing a cold and beautiful face. It was none other than Uzuki Yugao, who had been separated from Yu for more than a year.
