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

Chapter 141 The Path is Your Own Choice

Konoha possesses great power and cannot feel the fear of other ninja villages.

Since Hashirama Senju, Konoha has always been the number one ninja village in the ninja world, and it has reached the peak again in this era.

Other ninja villages will only feel fear towards the ever-prospering Konoha. If Konoha was still ruled by the third generation and was not aggressive, then other ninja villages would just tolerate it, but this is not the case.

Faced with an aggressive Konoha that can quickly end a war in a one-on-one fight, other ninja villages will only choose to fight and make Konoha decline at all costs.

Having said that, in fact, as Hinata Yu said, he did not consider himself a part of Konoha, otherwise things would not have developed like this.

Senju Tobirama glanced at Hinata Yu, then looked at Tsunade and Yamaru who had fallen silent, "When facing the daimyo, the fourth generation chose to retreat, so when facing the major countries, he can only choose to retreat."

Facing a war that would not stop until there was a result, or when there was a conflict between the Hokage and the Daimyo and the internal situation was unstable... The Fourth Hokage had no choice.

After all, the Daimyo of the Fire Country also wants Konoha to be weakened. In addition, the other party will not want to see the Fire Country being damaged, and it is very likely that they will betray Konoha in the war in exchange for the peace of the Fire Country.

Should he give Konoha a chance to reconcile with the Daimyo at the cost of his own life, or should he allow himself to survive and face a war that is meaningless to Konoha amid internal and external troubles?
If you think from the Hokage's perspective at that time, there would only be one answer.

Obviously, he had a better choice before this...

With a sigh, Senju Tobirama continued:

"Maintaining stability was the decision made by the Fourth Generation before. You didn't object at that time, so what's the point of questioning Hinata Yu now? He objected before, right? One step back, then another. It was the Fourth Generation's own choice that led him to a dead end little by little."

It's like someone has warned you that there is an abyss ahead, but you didn't listen and walked all the way forward and fell into the abyss. As a result, your companions know that the person who warned you had the ability to save you at the last moment but didn't do it, and they question him. This is just shirking responsibility.

"It is not a good habit to impose responsibilities that do not belong to others on people with greater abilities and to rely on others. As a kid of the Uchiha clan and a guard of the Hokage, you should understand. The greatest responsibility for the death of the Fourth Hokage should be borne by him. What do you want to do by questioning him now?"

Senju Tobirama said coldly: "You choose your own path. You must pay the corresponding price for your choice and be prepared!"

Tsunade heard the subtext of Senju Tobirama in the last sentence, patted Yamaru's shoulder, and stared at her elder.

Yaowan's question is not intended to shirk responsibility.

The proud Uchiha would not do such a thing.

As the Hokage's bodyguard, he was the one who blamed himself the most for not being by the Hokage's side at the last moment. In his heart, causing the Fourth Hokage to die in battle was a responsibility he had to bear.

Yaowan's question was to give Hinata Yu a chance to defend himself, to let him tell them that it had nothing to do with him, and to get him to come back.

Intellectually he already understood that Hinata Yu would not return to Konoha, but emotionally he had not given up yet.

Senju Tobirama understood all of this, but he still said these words, and his attitude was very clear.

Tsunade looked at Senju Tobirama with a complicated expression, "Are you ready?"

"Of course." Senju Tobirama said in a low voice.

"You... don't need me to ask any more questions." Tsunade turned her gaze to Hinata Yu, and when she saw the other party chuckle, her expression turned cold.

Be aware when you make a choice.

The fourth generation's death in the Rain Country was the result of his own actions and his own choice. There is no need for others to impose the responsibility on him or shift the blame to others.

Hyuga Yu stood on the opposite side of Konoha, and changed the Fire Country with his own death, and did not consider himself a part of Konoha. Senju Tobirama stood on Hyuga Yu's side, which was also their own choice. Both of them were ready.

They were the only ones who hadn't accepted it yet, in a vain attempt to give the other a chance to defend themselves and allow the two to return to Konoha.

And as the leader of Konoha, should she now give her enemy a chance to defend herself?

Even if there are still many things she doesn't understand, even if she wants to communicate more with her family and friends, even if she hopes they will come back... now is not the time to be soft-hearted.

No matter what their past identities were, no matter what their purposes were, they are now enemies of Konoha!
No need to say more.

Tsunade took a deep breath and signaled Yaowan with her eyes. Seeing that Yaowan had calmed down, she said in a deep voice:
"Hokage assistant Hinata Yu faked his death, exacerbating the conflict between Konoha and the Land of Fire. From now on, the position of Hokage assistant will be abolished and he will be listed as an S-rank traitor in Konoha!"

Hinata Yu smiled slightly, and there was a complicated look in Senju Tobirama's eyes.

That's good. Since we have different positions, we need to make a decision as soon as possible...

"Senju Tobirama, researched forbidden techniques, reversed life and death, conspired with Hyuga Tsubasa, and was listed as an S-rank traitorous ninja in Konoha!"

The emotion in Senju Tobirama's eyes disappeared, and black lines appeared on his forehead.

What's the matter with this charge?

Do you think I resurrected myself?
You must have gambled foolishly!

Tsunade ignored Senju Tobirama's strange expression.

In her opinion, Hinata Yu is only sixteen years old this year, and has only been the Hokage's assistant for half a year. It is not easy for him to possess such terrifying strength and chakra. How could he have the time to come into contact with and study the forbidden technique of resurrection?
On the contrary, it is Senju Tobirama, who has a criminal record!
It may be that after Hinata Yu was resurrected as Senju Tobirama through the Impure World Reincarnation, the two reached a cooperation, and Senju Tobirama slowly developed the forbidden technique of resurrection.

Even this incident should have been achieved through cooperation between Hinata Yu and Senju Tobirama.

Thinking of this, Tsunade suppressed all her emotions and made way, "You guys go!"

Faced with the two people who possessed Flying Thunder God, Konoha couldn't stop them, and she didn't want to stop them either.

The two ninjas in front of him were both dangerous figures in Konoha's history. If they went to war with them now, they would be the only ones who lost!
Hearing this, Hinata Yu smiled and stood up, "I said, I have time to answer your questions now. Although Tobirama-senpai doesn't seem to want to talk more, this does not represent my opinion."

In the face of Hinata Yu's pointed teasing, Senju Tobirama turned his eyes away and ignored it.

How many outstanding talents of Konoha have been harmed by you, and you still want to poach them?

If I let you continue talking to the two of them, Tsunade and Yamaru might even turn against us!

After all, Hinata Yu has the forbidden resurrection technique and the trump card of Kato Dan. Faced with such temptation, Senju Tobirama cannot guarantee that the two can resist.

He himself agreed to go with Hinata Yu, and only asked Hinata Yu to leave some foundation for Konoha.

"We don't know how much of what you are saying is true, and we don't know how much of it is information you have deleted. We are just a group of poor people who have been kept in the dark."

As Hinata Yu walked down the platform, Tsunade also walked towards the Daimyo's position. When the two passed each other, Tsunade said calmly: "You have been reserved about us in the past, and you can't trust us now. I will investigate it myself."
