Chapter 463 Truce and Promotion
Ino had no idea that her "Immortal Technique. Super Large Spiral Chariot" had hit the moon, causing the moon's orbit to deviate to a certain degree. This deviation had also caused some changes in the magnetic field of the planet beneath everyone's feet.
This is reflected in the natural world, where locusts are spreading like crazy this year.
The Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Water, and the Kingdom of Thunder, those places are either poor and barren or vast deserts. Can locusts go there? Of course not.
The result was that the Fire Nation suffered a heavy blow, the peasants had no harvest, and were eager to revolt. No matter how much the Fire Nation Daimyo plundered, he could not find much money to support Konoha's war.
The magistrate's office handed the task of pest control to Konoha.
The jonins went out one after another.
Ino also took Konohamaru and the others to help with insect extermination, but she threw down a "Great Fire Extinguishing Blade", and the sea of fire burned up both the locusts and the crops. The villagers sent her away as if she were a fairy. "We can't afford to offend you, fairy, please don't come again!"
She was helpless about this. Ninjutsu was like this. What could she do? Ino couldn't learn from Li Er and perform the scene of eating locusts raw in front of the villagers. That would be too dirty! Li Er was the emperor, and what about her? She was just a part-time worker. Why did she work so hard?
In the end, when she heard about the locust plague, she just treated it as an after-dinner story and let it go in one ear and out the other. The locust plague was not as important as being with Hinata!
The locusts are too rampant, and the ninjas can't do anything about it. What about the Aburame family? Are they ninjas from our village?
The overwhelming locusts affected the Iwagakure army that had been staying in the River Country. The Third Tsuchikage, who did not want to help the Fire Country eliminate the locusts, announced his withdrawal, leaving the Konoha ninjas to play with the locusts.
The locust plague was followed by earthquakes, tsunamis, and changes in the magnetic field caused a series of geological disasters.
By October, not only the Ninja World, but even the armies of the five major countries withdrew one by one. Without food, they could no longer fight.
See you next year.
Konoha was the gainer in this war.
The territory of the Hidden Mist Village has made great progress in the east, and the two oasis outposts of the Hidden Sand Village have also been occupied in the west.
After the war, we will reward people according to their merits.
As the monitor of the sensory class, Ino has no room for promotion anymore. This is easy to deal with. Just give enough money and the rest will not be a problem.
Ninjas who have made contributions should be promoted.
Genin is promoted to Chunin, and Chunin is promoted to Jonin.
Naruto didn't participate in the war at all, so he was not on the promotion list.
Several jonin were promoted in Konoha.
Genma Shiranui was promoted from Special Jonin to Jonin.
Mitarashi Anko was also promoted to Jonin.
Hyuga Neji's promotion was slightly hindered, but he passed it smoothly in the end.
At the end of the deliberation, a question was put before the Konoha high-level officials: Should Uchiha Sasuke be promoted to jonin?
With Kakashi's recommendation, his exploits on the battlefield, and his own strong enough strength, it should be a natural thing to do, but this time even Jiraiya was a little hesitant.
Ino is not currently in the core leadership, but she is definitely one of the top executives, so she is qualified to participate in this kind of meeting.
But she didn't say anything when several people spoke. She had a dream last night. She dreamed that she turned into a wolf and bit Kaguya Otsutsuki, who turned into a rabbit, to death with one bite! Satisfied! Seeing that she was daydreaming, Koharu Utane called her name: "Has the induction class found any traces of other Uchiha in the village?"
The old woman suspected that Itachi would secretly return to the village, and then the brothers would join forces to overthrow the Konoha regime.
Ino collected her messy thoughts and said calmly: "The sensing team did not detect the reaction of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan."
She was telling the truth. Although she had the Sharingan, she was not from the Uchiha clan. She wouldn't let me check myself, would she? What a joke!
Jiraiya emphasized, "Itachi is also a Konoha ninja."
The three advisors all looked disapproving. Are you sure? Uchiha Itachi killed his own family and his own parents. Is there anything he can't do? This man doesn't even love his own parents. Do you think he will love the village?
The Konoha Village is very powerful, and the Akatsuki organization has become a coward. The role of Itachi as a spy is gradually decreasing. Now, even Jiraiya doesn't believe that the Akatsuki organization is a threat.
The Hokage and the advisor did not reach an agreement, Shikaku remained silent on the matter, and ultimately Sasuke's order to be promoted to Jonin was temporarily shelved.
The Land of Rain.
"Itachi, your brother has made many contributions to Konoha, ahem. But they are not willing to give him even a jonin. Have you seen the ugly faces of Konoha's high-ranking officials?"
Obito asked Itachi to meet him, and his opening remarks were very direct.
Itachi did not answer, but asked: "Are you injured? Were you injured in the Land of Demons? It has taken so long and it hasn't healed. This seems to be inconsistent with the omnipotent Uchiha Madara?"
Obito was also very depressed. Ino's "Water Style: Heaven's Cry" did not contain any fairy chakra, but it was poisonous!
Normal toxins can be easily expelled by Hashirama cells, and can even be swallowed up. To some extent, Hashirama cells are the greatest toxins in the world.
But the poison used by Ino is different. Shizune taught her how to use poisonous chakra, and now she has surpassed her teacher.
Considering that Obito has Hashirama's cells, she specially developed a toxin that can bypass Hashirama's cells. No one knows Wood Release and Hashirama's cells better than her these days. Obito took care of himself for two weeks, but instead of recovering, his body became weaker and weaker.
Zetsu and Obito don't have a deep friendship. He saved him before because he thought he was still useful. After Obito was poisoned, he was as weak as a consumptive. How much use could such Obito have? Zetsu's plan didn't necessarily require Obito, and even Uchiha Madara wasn't necessary in his plan. If it didn't work this time, there would be next time. He had waited for a thousand years, so why wait a few more decades?
Zetsu has been secretly observing Sasuke recently. He feels that Sasuke can be used by him, maybe as a substitute. In his opinion, Sasuke is easier to fool than Obito. Recently, he has not been as concerned about Obito as before.
Zetsu wanted to kill the donkey he brought back from the Land of Demons and eat its meat, but Obito refused, saying that a life-saving donkey cannot be killed. He wanted to take the donkey to the Infinite Tsukuyomi world to find Rin, and then the two of them and the donkey would share a peaceful and prosperous world. In fact, he wanted to prepare a leg, so that if Zetsu turned against him one day, he could still ride the donkey to escape, and the donkey ran very fast . Today, Obito rode the donkey to find Itachi. Don't mention it, wearing a black coat with red clouds and riding the donkey, the picture was quite harmonious.
The toxin bypassed Hashirama's cells and had been slowly eroding his body, showing signs of cancer. Obito certainly wouldn't say that the poison in his body was incurable, so he tried to slow down his speech to prevent himself from coughing.
