After the conclusion of the Konoha Crush Plan, although the entire Konoha had almost been reduced to a pile of rubble, as the largest ninja village in the ninja world and situated in the wealthiest country on the continent, the Land of Fire, Konoha quickly began to rebuild. People temporarily buried their grief and started to reconstruct their homes.
In the world of Naruto, construction can be said to be a very effortless endeavor. Most of it can be completed with ninjutsu, and with a large number of construction workers arriving in Konoha one after another, new buildings began to spring up from the rubble of Konoha. Various supplies also rapidly started being transported to Konoha from all over the Land of Fire, further accelerating Konoha's reconstruction.
After the Konoha Crush Plan occurred, the ninja world was also shaken. The reputations of Orochimaru, Uchiha Madara, and Deidara instantly resounded throughout the ninja world, especially Uchiha Madara and Deidara.
Orochimaru's reputation was already quite prominent in the ninja world; the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha were almost universally known. However, few people in the ninja world knew of Uchiha Madara and Deidara before this.
But now, the names of these two are known to everyone in the ninja world, especially Uchiha Madara, who used his Sharingan's pupil power to manipulate the Tailed Beast of Sunagakure during the Konoha Crush Plan, causing massive destruction to Konoha,
burying half of Konoha with sand, and even using the Tailed Beast to release a Tailed Beast Ball that directly destroyed the Hokage Rock. The entire Konoha was almost utterly devastated. In terms of casualties, since ordinary villagers were quickly evacuated, they suffered almost no harm, but the ninja casualties were significant.
The ninja casualties included Genin, Chunin, and even Jonin, totaling nearly three thousand people. This was almost three-quarters of the ninjas remaining in Konoha. Of course, as the largest ninja village, Konoha couldn't possibly have only this many ninjas,
but most of them were out of the village on missions. After all, Konoha's economic income, besides the shops in the village, primarily came from the remuneration paid by clients after ninjas completed missions. This was a major source of the village's income and the economic backbone of the entire village.
Three thousand casualties are indeed a lot, and this number of casualties was an extremely tragic blow to Konoha. The village's vitality suffered greatly, but it didn't reach the point of despair for Konoha.
One must know that the entire village, including registered ninjas and Anbu, numbered close to twenty thousand people. Among the three thousand casualties, the death toll was around two thousand seven hundred, with three hundred people miraculously surviving, though their injuries were quite severe.
However, this was not the most serious blow to Konoha. The most serious blow was that the Third Hokage, as the leader of the village and highly respected in Konoha, died at the hands of his former disciple, Orochimaru. This incident caused an even greater impact on Konoha, especially psychologically.
And the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure also died at Orochimaru's hands. It was Orochimaru who killed the Fourth Kazekage and impersonated him before approaching and killing the Third Hokage. This incident also spread throughout the ninja world, making many villages once again feel Orochimaru's terror.
According to intelligence, Uchiha Madara was once a rogue ninja from Konoha's prestigious Uchiha clan, the son of Uchiha Fugaku, and was not born in Konoha. The purpose of this operation was to seek revenge on Konoha.
Deidara, on the other hand, was the disciple of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, a genius ninja from Iwagakure. He defected from Iwagakure due to stealing forbidden jutsu and also used forbidden jutsu involving chakra-infused materials to bomb Konoha during this Konoha Crush Plan, causing massive casualties to Konoha. He was also Uchiha Madara's companion.
The ninja world was instantly in an uproar. The tragic state of Konoha rang alarm bells for all other villages. Many villages immediately listed Orochimaru, Uchiha Madara, and Deidara as SS-rank dangerous individuals, especially Orochimaru and Uchiha Madara. The former's personality was erratic, cunning, and his power formidable, making him a very dangerous ninja.
The latter, however, not only possessed terrifying power but also had the Sharingan's bloodline limit, giving him the ability to manipulate Tailed Beasts, making him a key focus of attention for all major ninja villages.
One week after the Konoha Crush Plan concluded, many new buildings and houses had already been constructed in Konoha, and the streets had been cleared. Various pawn shops, teahouses, ninja tool shops, and restaurants had reopened. However, most of Konoha was still in a state of ruin at this time; a complete recovery in a short period was impossible.
In the morning, a gloomy rain fell from the sky. Dark clouds densely covered the sky, and not a single ray of sunlight could be seen. The entire Konoha was enveloped in a gloomy environment.
Today was the funeral of the Third Hokage and other fallen ninjas, and representatives from all ninja clans would attend to pay their respects.
The rain grew heavier in the sky, densely covered with dark clouds, as if the heavens themselves were weeping. The cleared roads were immediately awash with large amounts of rainwater.
Not only did villagers spontaneously gather around the Hokage Monument for the spontaneous mourning, but representatives from most ninja clans and common ninjas personally went to the Hokage Monument.
The atmosphere of the entire village was exceptionally heavy. Large numbers of ninjas, dressed in black mourning clothes and with mournful expressions, stood before the images of the many fallen ninjas.
In the very center was the image of the Third Hokage. The first row of Genin at the very front all hung their heads low, and many even wept. Naruto's eyes were particularly downcast, his fists clenched tightly, appearing exceptionally sorrowful.
Afterward, everyone stepped forward to offer flowers, expressing their respect to the fallen. Then, the Hokage's advisor read the eulogy, and only then did the mourning finally conclude. The rain in the sky also slowly stopped, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed, seemingly signifying a new beginning.
However, at this moment, atop a towering wall on the outskirts of Konoha, behind a row of iron railings, two people appeared at some unknown time. Both wore brown cloaks with hanging bells and high-collared coats with black bases and red clouds. Their faces were completely obscured by their cloaks and high collars, making them appear exceptionally mysterious.
