The Chapter get Retranslated

After the Konoha Crush ended, although the entire Konoha was almost reduced to ruins, as the number one ninja village in the Ninja World, coupled with its location in the Land of Fire, the richest country on the continent, Konoha quickly began to rebuild. People temporarily buried yesterday's sorrow deep in their hearts and started rebuilding their homes.

In the Naruto World, construction can be said to be a very easy project; most of it can be completed with ninjutsu. In addition, a large number of construction workers successively arrived in Konoha,

so new buildings appeared one after another among the ruins of Konoha. Furthermore, various materials were quickly transported to Konoha from all over the Land of Fire, further accelerating Konoha's reconstruction.

After the Konoha Crush, the Ninja World was also shaken. The names of Orochimaru, Uchiha Mizu, and Deidara immediately resounded throughout the Ninja World, especially Uchiha Mizu and Deidara.

Orochimaru's name was already well-known in the Ninja World; the Konoha's Sannin were almost universally recognized, but Uchiha Mizu and Deidara were not widely known in the Ninja World before.

But now, both of their names are well-known in the Ninja World, especially Uchiha Mizu. During the Konoha Crush, he used the DĹŤjutsu power of the Sharingan to control the Hidden Sand Village's Tailed Beast, causing widespread destruction in Konoha,

burying half of Konoha with sand, and also using the Tailed Beast to release a Tailed Beast Ball that directly destroyed the Hokage Rock. The entire Konoha was almost completely destroyed. In terms of casualties, since ordinary villagers were quickly evacuated, they suffered almost no harm, but the ninja casualties were significant.

The casualties included Genin, Chunin, and even Jonin, totaling nearly three thousand people, almost three-quarters of the ninjas remaining in Konoha. Of course, Konoha, as the largest ninja village, could not have only this many ninjas,

but most of the ninjas were away from the village to perform missions. After all, Konoha's economic income, besides the shops in the village, primarily came from the remuneration paid by employers after ninjas completed missions. This was the main source of the village's income and the economic pillar of the entire village.

Three thousand people is indeed a lot, and this casualty figure was an extremely severe blow to Konoha, leaving the village greatly weakened. However, it did not lead to Konoha's despair. It is important to know that the total number of registered ninjas in the entire village,

including the Anbu, was close to twenty thousand. Among the three thousand casualties, approximately two thousand seven hundred died, and three hundred people miraculously survived, though seriously injured.

However, this was not the most serious blow to Konoha. The most severe blow was the death of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the highly respected leader of the village, at the hands of his former disciple, Orochimaru. This incident caused an even greater impact on Konoha, especially psychologically.

The Fourth Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village also died at Orochimaru's hands. It was Orochimaru who killed the Fourth Kazekage and impersonated him. This incident also spread throughout the Ninja World, making many people in various villages once again realize Orochimaru's terror.

According to intelligence, Uchiha Yan was a rogue ninja from the prestigious Uchiha Clan of Konoha and the son of Uchiha Hayato. He was not born in Konoha, and the purpose of this operation was to retaliate against Konoha.

Deidara, on the other hand, was the apprentice of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, a genius ninja from the Hidden Stone Village. He betrayed the Hidden Stone Village for secretly learning a Forbidden Jutsu. In this Konoha Crush, he used a Forbidden Jutsu that integrated chakra into matter to bomb Konoha, causing heavy casualties in Konoha. He was also a companion of Uchiha Yan.

The tragic state of Konoha rang alarm bells in other villages. Many villages immediately listed Orochimaru, Uchiha Yan, and Deidara as SS-rank dangerous individuals, especially Orochimaru and Uchiha Yan. The former had an unpredictable, treacherous, and powerful personality, making him an extremely dangerous ninja.

The latter not only possessed terrifying strength but also had the ability to control Tailed Beasts using the Kekkei Genkai of the Sharingan, making him a major target of concern for all great ninja villages.

One week after the Konoha Crush ended, many new buildings and houses had already been constructed in Konoha. The streets were also cleared, and various stalls, teahouses, ninja tool shops, and restaurants had reopened. However, most of Konoha was still in ruins, and a complete recovery was impossible in a short time.

In the morning, it rained lightly. The sky was overcast, with no hint of sunlight, and the entire Konoha was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. Today was the funeral of the First Hokage and other fallen ninjas, and all ninja representatives would attend to offer their condolences.

As the overcast sky poured down heavier rain, it seemed as if even the heavens were weeping. The cleared roads were immediately flowing with large amounts of rainwater again. Not only did the villagers spontaneously gather around the Hokage Building to pay their respects, but most of the ninja clan representatives and civilian ninjas also personally went to the Hokage Building.

The atmosphere in the entire village was exceptionally heavy. Large groups of ninjas, dressed in black mourning clothes, stood with sorrowful faces before the portraits of the fallen ninjas, with the Third Hokage's portrait in the very center. The Genin in the front row all bowed their heads, and many even wept. Naruto, in particular, had downcast eyes and tightly clenched fists, appearing exceptionally grief-stricken.

Afterward, everyone stepped forward to lay flowers, expressing their respect for the fallen. Then, the Hokage Advisor read the eulogy, and the memorial service finally concluded. The rain in the sky gradually stopped, and the dark clouds slowly dispersed, seemingly signaling a new beginning.

However, at this moment, on a towering wall on the outskirts of Konoha, behind a row of iron bars, two figures appeared at some unknown time. Both wore brown straw hats with bells and high-collared cloaks with black bases and red clouds. Their faces were completely hidden by the hats and collars, making them appear exceptionally mysterious...
