Dying in battle otlefield, dying in the hospital due to iive treatment – such deaths were on occurrences in this world, and therefore, there was nothing uable about them. However, having the opportunity for treatment suddenly snatched away was something difficult to accept.

  Perhaps it was reted to his own experiences, or perhaps this was simply Habara's emotional trigger. In any case, Habara suddenly exploded. However, just as he was about to step away and "reason" with those unreasohings, he was suddenly pulled back...

  It was Izayo.

  She had temporarily regained sciousness. She grabbed Habara with one hand, looked at him with her eyes, and then slowly shook her head.

  Habara's as would only worsen his own situation; he couldn't ge anything. And once he bared his fangs to Konoha, what would happen to him was obvious.

  So Izayo reached out and stopped him. She even managed a faint smile.

  "I'm still young, but I feel like I've already lived a long life..."

  Sihe New Year had just passed, Izayo was exactly twenty years old now. She was very young. As for why she felt like she had experienced a lifetime, it was actually very simple... She had experieoo mu the war.

  She had lost her brother in the war. Did that mean she only lost her brother?

  Izayo spoke in this tone, and Habara couldn't bring himself to break free from her weak hand. He could only stop in his tracks arain his emotions.

  "The incredible thing is, regarding life, I have regrets but no attat. Death certainly 't be described as 'beautiful,' but it's actually not as terrible as one might imagine."

  "As a Konoha ninja, to be loyal to Konoha to the very end, I was already prepared for that... Sooner or ter, wheime es, it's just the time that has e."

  "It's just that, in the end, I'm not that strong of a person. I'm tired, I feel so tired. I 't help but want to rest for a while, just a little while..."

  "Habara, unlike us, you're a talented person, so you be a little bolder in your as, but not too bold."

  "Daigo, live on..."

  Habara fell silent, until Izayo could finally undergery.

  Izayo also fell silent, because the surgery came too te.

  There's a saying that goes, "There is only one heroism in the world: to see the world as it is and to love it." There's absolutely nothing wrong with this sente's just a bit tht and lofty.

  Perhaps there was no heroism in this world at all.

  The ninja vilge system certainly had its advas, but in the end, it was just a colle e and small ninja s. So, was there any fual differeween the current era and the previous era?

  Fually, Konoha was supported by those few ninja s, so Konoha was iably stratified and hierarchical. From the perspective of the major ninja s, they did the most work and naturally deserved the best treatment.

  A rge number of oner ninjas died otlefield, but how much meaning did their deaths have?

  To put it bluntly, the spread of chakra and the diffusion of ninjutsu were ily uneven and unfair.

  Habara sat on a chair, his eyes fixed on the white cloth c the face of the person lying on the hospital bed, his mind stantly thinking about some things... Of Izayo's st words, how much was genuine acceptance, how much was forced acceptance, how much was genuiivity, and how much was foregativity?

  Regardless of Izayo's thoughts or Konoha's internal affairs, after thinking it over, Habara still couldn't accept this oute.

  People couldn't always be objective and rational, but they could always believe they were objective and rational.

  Whether for sotion, propaganda, or to show his presence, in short, after dealing with some of Konoha's internal affairs, Konoha's Fourth Hokage began to tour the front lines.

  Naturally, this tour was more symbolic than practical. To put it bluntly, it was a show.

  Speaking of which, the current Third Hokage was in his prime and not yet at the point where he absolutely had to have a successor. The reason why he wanted Minato Namikaze to bee the Fourth Hokage so quickly was likely to set an example for future geions of a smooth power transition... The Sed Hokage's suddeh in battle and the Third Hokage's hasty succession probably left Hiruzen Sarutobi with some not-so-good memories, so he wao avoid this situation from happening again.

  So, rumors of the Third and Fourth Hokages vying for power, or the Third having an excessive desire for power, were unnecessary. Because regardless, the young Minato Namikaze could not possibly threatehird Hokage's position. The Third Hokage was in his fifties, the prime of his life, while the Fourth Hokage was only twenty-four, actually very young. Uhese circumstances, only if the Third Hokage wahere to be a Fourth Hokage could a Fourth Hokage appear.

  trary to being power-hungry, the Third Hokage was actually a person who liked to delegate power, but wasn't very good at it. Because of his delegation and inaany internal problems arose in Konoha.

  In short, after pleting the transfer of power, the Fourth Hokage prioritized appearing at the Konoha camp in the Land of Rivers. As part of the tour, paying respects to the dead and soling the wounded were expected duties.

  So, when Habara had absolutely no desire to deal with others, he still had to cooperate with others' "show"... This was the same, whether in his previous life or now.

  Because the Fourth Hokage had appeared right in front of Habara.

  The wound on Habara's right arm had already received proper treatment. In a sehis was just a minor injury.

  Regarding what had just happened, Habara didn't have ament towards the doctors, because the doctors were irying their best to save every life. The problem was only how, and in eed and order, the patients were brought before them.

  Unfortunately, Konoha's stro, or rather, the ninja world's stro mediinja, had already left Konoha due to "menopausal rebellion." Otherwise, perhaps everyone here could have been saved... Even people who had never met Tsunade would miss her, which showed the strategic significe of a mediinja like her.

  At this time, there wasn't just one corpse in front of Habara. In fact, there were corpses all around him, because his location was the mue... Before they arrived, Konoha and Sunagakure had indeed engaged in a fierce flict.

  After the Battle of Kikyo Pass, it stood to reason that the weakened Sunagakure should have been at an absolute disadva was ued that a fierce battle would still break out uhese circumstances.

  When the Fourth Hokage came here to pay his respects to the fallen, Habara had just realized a simple truth:

  In this world, if a person wao protect himself and some other things, simply being strong was far from enough...

  One had to be "invincible."
