Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 140 At the last moment, he chose to die there

"Why did you watch Hokage-sama step into his death? And turn a blind eye to it? You obviously know the information about those people's ninjutsu!"

Inside the castle tower, Yaowan stared at Hinata Yu closely, waiting for his answer.

But Tsunade stopped the excited Uchiha Yamaru and said in a low voice: "Isn't this obvious? Because he 'doesn't know' that information."

"What are you talking about? Senior Tsunade, according to what he said, how could he not know..."

Yaowan said this with gritted teeth, and suddenly stopped talking.

Konoha has never collected intelligence about the Xuanyuan people in the past. If Hinata Yu has gained some information in just a few months of managing the intelligence organization, what does it mean?
The other party has other forces secretly...

Thinking of this, the pill froze.

"Hinata Yu, the assistant Hokage of Konoha, shouldn't know that information, so you didn't give it to the Fourth Hokage. That would expose you in advance that you were hiding something from us, right?"

Tsunade looked at Hinata Yu, recalling their past experiences together, with her eyes slightly closed, not revealing any emotion.

"Or rather, you had no feelings for Konoha from the beginning."

Rather, this is just a matter of course.

How could a former member of the Hyuga branch family have feelings for Konoha?

Being carved as a bird in a cage, his fellow villagers turned a blind eye to it. It was basically impossible to make a member of the Hyuga branch family identify with Konoha from the bottom of their heart.

Those members of the Hyuga branch family who seem to identify with Konoha are just used to it, because the main family brought them to join Konoha in the past, so they just identify with it.

But... that was because of the Zong family after all.

“You’ve really grown up.”

Hinata Hane smiled and slowly sat down in the Daimyo's seat, "In a sense, that's right. If I truly believed that I was a member of Konoha, the Fourth Hokage would not have died. Do you have any other questions? I'm happy to answer them now."

"What does this have to do with whether you recognize yourself as a member of Konoha?"

Yamaru roared, "Is Lord Minato not good to you? He helped the Hyuga branch to free the bird from the cage and let you serve as the Hokage's assistant. Is this your attitude towards his death?"

"When did I disappoint him?"

The calm question made Yaowan open his mouth, unable to speak.

Didn't Hinata Yu do a bad job as the Hokage's assistant?
No, the other party did a great job and never let Minato-sama down.

but……

Before Yaowan could say anything to refute, Hinata Yu continued, "Besides, the Fourth Hokage must have understood at the last moment that dying there was the best choice for Konoha, so he didn't struggle. He made his own choice, and there is no need for me to intervene."

Yaowan's expression turned cold, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the death of Minato-sama be a good thing for Konoha?"

"The death of the Fourth Hokage at that time could buy Konoha some time."

A strange yet familiar voice came from the shadows, startling Tsunade. She looked subconsciously and saw someone she thought she would never see again in this life.

Second Grandfather...

Tsunade stared at Tobirama Senju who walked out of the shadows. She did not see any signs of Impure World Reincarnation on him. After confirming that he was really resurrected, her calm expression was gone.

Is this an illusion?
Why did the second grandfather appear in front of her alive and stand behind Hinata Yu...is this a dream?
The Second Hokage betrayed Konoha?
Tsunade just felt dizzy.

Senju Tobirama ignored Tsunade for the time being, came behind Hinata Yu, crossed his arms and said:

"If the Fourth Hokage doesn't die, Konoha will face war next."

"Hinata Yu used various means to define the conflicts in three categories: internal strife within Konoha, internal strife between the Land of Fire and Konoha, and the battle between Konoha and the black market, thus delaying the military actions of other countries. However, this method had already reached its limit."

"If Konoha shows no signs of decline, other major powers will be the first to start a war." Just like between the Daimyo and the Hokage.

The one who can't help but take action first is often the weaker one.

Uchiha Yamaru looked at Senju Tobirama's face and felt that he was familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. He just thought that he was a subordinate of Hinata Yu and said coldly: "So what? The other ninja villages combined are no match for us!"

Senju Tobirama looked at the innocent Uchiha Yamaru in front of him, thinking that this generation of Uchiha was not so evil, and then his gaze shifted to Tsunade, "You shouldn't be so naive, right?"

Tsunade stared at her loved one, her mind full of thoughts, she wanted to ask a question, but in the end she chose to answer this question first, "Konoha is not afraid of a head-on battle, but that's all. No one would be stupid enough to challenge an opponent they can't defeat. Once a war breaks out, the target of other ninja villages will not be Konoha, but... the Land of Fire."

The number of ninjas from several ninja villages definitely far exceeds the total number of ninjas in Konoha. Apart from the majority of them deployed on the front battlefield, what will happen if the rest are all deployed to destroy the interior of the Land of Fire?
Kill people when you see them.

Massacre the entire city.

No chicken or dog left.

After such a war, did Konoha win or lose?

If the war situation turns out like this, there will be no winner!
Konoha can defeat other ninja villages, but the Land of Fire will also be reduced to ruins.

The gap between civilians and ninjas was too great, and they had basically no power to resist the latter's massacre. The transformation technique that a Genin could use could cause horrific chaos, causing people in a town to kill each other because they could not tell the difference.

Without any ninjas to stop them, a thousand ninjas could be broken up into small groups and turn the Land of Fire into a purgatory in just a few dozen days, slaughtering all the people in the country!
As for those ninja villages, do they dare to do so?

The bottom line of a ninja...is not that high.

Abandoning all morals and bottom lines just to win for the village, a ninja only needs an order from the top.

Tsunade was sure that if this was the only way to win or protect themselves, other ninja villages would definitely do the same.

"That's right. When facing a powerful enemy, it is best to target its weaknesses. And Konoha's weakness is the Land of Fire."

Senju Tobirama nodded, glanced at the pill, and said coldly: "In the era of the Ninja Village, there were several Ninja World Wars. The major countries always maintained a tacit understanding and fought only for their own interests. They did not start a war simply for killing and destruction."

"But war has no morals or bottom line. Facing Konoha's previous strength, they will inevitably take this path."

"Do you think Konoha has the ability to deal with this situation?"

Yaowan's face was stiff, and he couldn't help but think of the scene in the Rain Country.

Hunger, poverty and sadness enveloped the country.

Other great powers have the ability to transform the Fire Nation into the Rain Nation.

Even if they can't win, they still have the ability to die together.

If the situation becomes like that, Konoha and the major countries will be in a difficult situation. The major countries dare not and cannot retreat. They cannot lose, otherwise their country will be destroyed.

They had been prepared since the attack on the fourth generation.

But will the Konoha ninjas regress?

No, otherwise they would not have come to Damingfu.

But if this happens, it will become a war that will not end without a result...

"The fourth generation also foresaw this, so after realizing that there was no chance of survival, they did not struggle."

Senju Tobirama looked at Tsunade and Yamaru and said, "At the last moment, he chose to die there."

Therefore, it caused him a lot of trouble.
