Chapter 78 News from the front line
Uchiha Feiyu was in a good mood when he returned to Konoha Village, but he soon discovered that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the village.

Some time ago, although the ninjas of the Konoha Village all had serious expressions and came and went in a hurry, they were at least full of confidence and high morale. That was the confidence in victory accumulated from Konoha's decades of undefeated battles.

And now...

The ninjas who were also rushing around now gave people a feeling of panic. The expressions of those ninjas, which were originally serious and slightly confident, now seemed to be a bit stiff and panicked.

"It seems that something happened in Konohagakure... Well, maybe something went wrong on the front battlefield?"

While Uchiha Feiyu was still thinking about this, his eyes suddenly swept over the five little ninjas.

"Kakashi, Asuma...you're all here? Long time no see!"

"You are... Feiyu!!"

The ones who were stopped by Uchiha Feiyu were this group of young ninjas around ten years old, who were also Uchiha Feiyu's classmates.

On the streets of Konoha, a group of young boys who had just grown out of the concept of children looked at the young man in front of them, all with surprised expressions.

Uchiha Feiyu is now 15 years old. He has been fighting on the battlefield for half a year and has experienced the synthesis of bloodline limits and bloodline evolution, making him look no different from a boy of or years old.

His classmates seemed to be only about ten or eleven years old. Although they had seen many fights during the war, as underage ninjas, they did not go to the front lines of the battlefield until Konoha was at its wit's end. They seemed to still have some innocence left.

Therefore, the two sides seemed to be a generation apart, as if Uchiha Feiyu was their team leader.

At Konoha's BBQ, Uchiha Feiyu ordered more than a dozen plates of various BBQ meats, and looked at the group of little classmates in front of him and asked:
"Is that enough? Do you need more?"

"No, no, we are not from the Akimichi clan, we can't eat that much."

Hong waved her hands and spoke, her expression slightly excited.

The current Uchiha Feiyu is no longer the ninja companion he used to be, nor is he the older classmate who was laughed at by others. Instead, he is well-known throughout Konoha and is known as Little White Fang, a powerful ninja who is the ghost of Konoha.

Even their former teacher, Hyuga Hizashi, was far inferior to Uchiha Toba in terms of fame and strength. Seeing their former companion soaring to the sky, Yuhi Kurenai and Asuma felt like they were dreaming.

On the contrary, Kakashi Hatake, Obito, Kai and others didn't care much. These people were either calm and composed, or they were carefree and had a big heart. They didn't care much about Uchiha Tobago's changes.

"Come to think of it, I just returned to Konohagakure, and I feel like something is not right about the atmosphere in the village. And why are you little ninjas gathered together? Did something big happen?"

"Why are they called little ninjas? Aren't Feiyu and I classmates? We all started learning ninjutsu at the same time, so how come we are called little ninjas?"

Obito shouted loudly, looking dissatisfied. Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes slightly and said lightly:
"Okay, okay, then please ask this elite ninja to tell me what happened recently?"

Obito was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and then looked at Kakashi:

"Kakashi, has anything happened recently? I don't feel anything different!" Kakashi rolled his eyes and said helplessly:
"Obito, you are really slow."

"We actually just met by chance this time. Obito, Rin, and I are now members of a team. We happened to meet Asuma and Kurenai who were shopping, so we chatted with each other about our recent situation."

"As for the recent events... I only know that the situation on the front line is not optimistic. It seems that something went wrong on the Cloud Ninja front. If you want to know more, you should ask Asuma!"

Although Hatake Kakashi is also a famous young genius in Konoha Village and his strength is very close to that of a real jonin, he has never been to the front line and his status in Konoha Village is not high, so the information he knows is very scarce.

Although Asuma is much weaker than Kakashi and has not even become a Chunin, as the son of the Hokage, no one would really think that he knows nothing about front-line intelligence.

After hearing what Kakashi said, Asuma suddenly showed a bitter smile on his face and put down the chopsticks in his hand:

"Kakashi, you... don't you know what the confidentiality agreement is?"

"If we really have to consider the confidentiality regulations, there is no way that a Genin like you can know more than a special Jonin like me!"

"Since even you know about this, it's obvious that the confidentiality rule has already been broken!"

Kakashi said this half sarcastically, half self-deprecatingly, causing Asuma's face to turn red:
"Okay, okay, I get it, that's what I said!"

"It is said that on the front battlefield, our Konoha suffered a great defeat. The entire Kumo Ninja front was completely broken, and at least more than 3,000 ninjas were sacrificed!"

"The situation on the frontline is very tense right now. We can't say when our batch of ninjas who have just graduated for a year will have to go to the frontline!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire table fell silent. After a moment, Nohara Lin spoke timidly:
"Why haven't we received any news about this matter?"

"Yeah, why haven't we received any news at all..."

Asuma muttered to himself with a hint of distress and helplessness in his voice.

"Tsk, this is simple. This is news of a defeat, not a great victory. How could the top leaders of Konoha easily reveal it?"

"What if it affects Konoha's morale? What if it affects other battles? What if it affects...their recruitment of cannon fodder?"

There is no doubt that the person who could say such words must be Uchiha Feiyu. As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the little ninjas present varied.

Most of the young ninjas looked surprised and disagreed, but Asuma froze up after hearing this and looked a little ashamed.

Kakashi still had a cold and calm expression, but he said something that sounded like a warning or a complaint:
"Feiyu, you just like to talk nonsense! Be careful or you will be chopped to pieces by the Anbu ninja for disturbing the morale of the army!"

Uchiha Feiyu shrugged. He didn't care about the crime of disturbing the morale of the army. The Konoha high-level officials would definitely not have a conflict with the Kage-level ninja because of such a crime. However, such words could easily affect these little ninjas, so in the end he still laughed:
"Sorry...sometimes I just like to talk nonsense."
