Chapter 65 Return to Konoha
"Finally home……"

Uchiha Feiyu looked at the Konoha Village and let out a long sigh.

Most of the ninjas who stayed at the Sand Ninja Front in Kawanokuni have now returned, leaving only a small number of ninjas to carry out border patrol and guard missions.

The team of more than a thousand ninjas was mighty, but after seeing the Konoha Village, countless ninjas shed tears. Although in Uchiha Feiyu's eyes, the battle seemed easy for him, but in fact the Konoha Village also suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention anything else, in the decisive battle with the Sand Ninja alone, Konoha lost more than 2000 ninjas due to the poison gas, almost half of Konoha's initial large force.

Adding in the number of casualties from other battles, there are only about three layers of ninjas left on the entire front line.

This is just the beginning of the Ninja World War, and it may become even more tragic as time goes on.

After returning to the Konoha Village, many relatives of the ninjas ran out of the village and began to look for their loved ones. Some found their loved ones, while others could only find an urn.

For a moment, they cried with joy, some cried bitterly, and all kinds of life situations were played out in the small ninja village.

Uchiha Feiyu is undoubtedly an outlier among them. Not to mention his parents, he doesn't even have many friends in the entire Konoha, so naturally he can't empathize with these people.

"Come with me to the Hokage's office, Feiyu-kun. You have performed a great deed this time, and the Hokage needs to summon you."

Orochimaru, with the same indifferent expression, spoke to Uchiha Feiyu, who nodded. In addition to his great military achievements, on the other hand, he now worshipped Orochimaru as his master, so of course the Third Hokage also wanted to know his situation.

Following Orochimaru to the Hokage's office, Uchiha Feiyu was slightly stunned as soon as he pushed open the door.

In addition to the Third Hokage, there was also a fierce blonde beauty in the office, who was listening to the Third Hokage's nagging with an impatient look on her face.

"That's enough, old man. Do you still expect me to go to the battlefield?"

The blonde beauty slammed the table and yelled loudly. At this time, Orochimaru and Uchiha Feiyu just walked in. The blonde beauty reacted and was stunned for a moment, then snorted and walked out of the room directly.

"Ugh……"

The Third Hokage sighed, picked up his pipe and took a puff, then looked up at Orochimaru with a smile on his face again.

"Thank you for your hard work, Orochimaru. And our little hero, Feiyu, you probably don't know that you now have the nickname Little White Fang."

Little White Fang... What kind of a weird title is that? It's even worse than the Sand Ninja's Konoha Ghost!
Uchiha Feiyu complained in his heart but didn't show it on the surface, while Orochimaru frowned:
"Tsunade is still unwilling to participate in the war? If Tsunade was there when we dealt with the Sand Village this time, we wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss."

The Third Hokage shook his head and sighed:
"Not yet. You know, Tsunade hasn't gotten over her mental knot yet." The Third Hokage's words were a little obscure, but Orochimaru understood clearly that what he meant was that Tsunade's hemophobia had not yet recovered.

Tsunade's hemophobia can be said to be Konoha's top secret. Now that there is an "outsider" like Uchiha Toba in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage certainly can't say it openly.

Orochimaru nodded in understanding, and without further discussing Tsunade's affairs, he spoke to the Third Hokage:

"Fei Yu is now my disciple. His achievements on the front line are enough to exchange for several S-level ninjutsu. This time I brought him here, and I also wanted him to choose a few ninjutsu from the Sealed Book."

The Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette and nodded:
"That's as it should be. With your contributions, Feiyu, you can choose three S-level ninjutsu from the Sealed Book. Of course, these ninjutsu are not easy to practice. In my opinion, it's best for you to only pick one S-level ninjutsu as your main focus, and you can choose some A-level ninjutsu to make up for the rest."

Uchiha Feiyu nodded. Even though the Third Hokage's words were a bit selfish, they were indeed mature words.

Kakashi in Shippuden claims to have mastered a thousand ninjutsu, but when he really fights, he still uses the old Chidori and Raikiri. The Uchiha clan's three magatama, almost all of them can copy a hundred or eighty ninjutsu, and when fighting, he basically uses fire jutsu plus Sharingan illusion.

For the top ninjas, ordinary ninjutsu are only used to make up for shortcomings. They themselves often have a series of powerful ninjutsu that they are best at, which serves as a real combat template.

Even the Third Hokage, who seemed to have learned the most diverse things, had his own strengths, and that was the physical and stick techniques that matched with Saruman's, as well as the mixed ninjutsu that was performed through the combination of the five attribute ninjutsu. It was only because this kind of ninjutsu required a large number of attribute ninjutsu as a foundation that he had to learn so many ordinary ninjutsu.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen's selfish motive, it was probably that he didn't want more S-level ninjutsu to be revealed. After all, Uchiha Toba was also an Uchiha. If he revealed these Konoha's in-depth ninjutsu to the Uchiha clan, it would definitely not be a good thing for Konoha.

In the ninja world, there are some spiritual secret techniques that can place a seal in the brain to prevent others from stealing ninjutsu, but if the owner of the ninjutsu reveals it voluntarily, there is no way to stop it.

This world is not a world of cultivating immortals. There is no such thing as a Taoist oath. Although the ninja village has rules that high-level ninjutsu cannot be taught privately, the effectiveness depends entirely on one's personal moral integrity and attention to the rules.

Fortunately, Uchiha Feiyu didn't care much about the ninjutsu in the Book of Seales. Anyway, the Third Hokage would definitely not put forbidden techniques like Impure World Reincarnation and Shikigami Sealing in the Book of Seales. Being able to find Flying Thunder God in there, Uchiha Feiyu had to praise the Third Hokage for his broad-mindedness.

The Third Hokage formed seals with his hands, and with a bang, he summoned a huge scroll. Uchiha Feiyu stretched his head to take a look and was sure that the sealed book that Uzumaki Naruto stole in the original work must be a fake.

Because this book of seals is densely packed with information, and no one knows how many kinds of seals there are, it would be strange for a careless person like Uzumaki Naruto to open it. Even his parents would have to spend a long time to open it without being disturbed.

The Third Hokage was obviously very familiar with removing seals, but it still took him three or four minutes to remove most of the seals on the Book of Seals. He handed it to Uchiha Feiyu and spoke at the same time.

"There is still a small part of the sealed book left. It is really against the harmony of nature, so it is still sealed. Unless Konoha's survival is at stake, it will not be passed on."
