Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 210: On the Will of Fire, I am above you!

underground base.

Uchiha Madara sat on a chair. In front of him, Uchiha Obito waved his blade, looking quite impressive, but...

"wrong!"

As Madara spoke, he moved his fingers and the chakra in his hand turned into a thread that connected directly to Obito, and then Obito's body began to move on its own.

Whoosh!
Obito's sword danced quickly in the air, and his posture and strength were almost perfect under Madara's control.

After over and over again.

Madara retracted his chakra: "Did you remember?"

"Yeah, I remember!"

Obito said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "But it may take me a long time to fully learn it."

Madara nodded slightly, then leaned back in his chair and let his mind go blank.

He is thinking...

Can I really achieve my goal by relying on this child?
I'm afraid I'm dreaming!

It’s not that Obito is really weak, but this kid is a bit straightforward and not good at thinking flexibly. He doesn’t have a deep grasp of swordsmanship and ninjutsu that require flexible application.

In other words.

Sharingan aside, even with his own instruction, Obito's mastery of ninjutsu and swordsmanship was probably only slightly better than the average level of the Uchiha clan.

I just hope that Obito's Sharingan can bring me a little hope.

otherwise--

Madara sighed slightly helplessly.

At this moment, White Zetsu possessed by Black Zetsu appeared in front of him.

Madara retracted his emotions.

"what happened?"

"The Sand Village seems to be planning to cooperate more closely with Konoha, but I haven't been able to get any further information."

"Deep cooperation? Haha."

Madara leaned back in his chair and said, "It's just a temporary alliance. As long as the interests cannot be balanced, people will become resentful over time and then become hostile again..."

"A short-lived peace is not real peace!"

He said, glancing at Obito below.

really.

Obito listened carefully.

He looked at Black Zetsu: "Any more news?"

"Red Sand Scorpion, do you want to contact him? Although this person acts crazy, he can be helpful to our path to peace in the short term."

Black Zetsu whispered.

Madara leaned back in his chair, his eyes indifferent: "Whatever, I'm not interested in this kind of thing, you can do it yourself, but he needs to pay more attention in the future, otherwise his current ability is not enough to meet the requirements."

"Yes!"

……

Night, in the woods.

Obito was rarely allowed to speak out: "Senior, you and Madara-senpai are really different."

"Of course."

"why?"

"Because I am the consciousness split from the previous Madara, and he went through a lot of suffering that we can hardly imagine. Different experiences will create different personalities..."

Black Zetsu replied calmly.

Then he gave a lot of examples:

With Black Zetsu's knowledge and experience, it would be easy for him to come up with a story to deal with Obito.

Obito suddenly realized, and then sighed.

He knew so little about Madara!

Even though he had heard some things about Madara from Black Zetsu, he always felt like there was a mountain between them. In his impression, Uchiha Madara was more of an old man sitting in a chair, barely gasping for breath.

one……

Poor old man?

"What are you sighing for?"

"The path to peace is not as simple as I first thought. Even Senior Madara has become like this. I am far less talented than him. Can I really do it?"

Obito looked at the sky, his eyes full of confusion.

The more he practiced and studied, the more he understood how powerful Uchiha Madara was, and the more he realized how terrifying Hashirama Senju's abilities were back then.

however.

Such people still cannot achieve eternal peace...

Hei Jue raised his lips slightly: "If you only rely on your current ability, it is of course not enough. You still need to gain more powerful strength and obtain more powerful eyes!"

"Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Obito was thoughtful.

Black Zetsu replied: "Yes, the Mangekyō Sharingan is a gift from our ancestors. It can raise our physique and bloodline limit to another level. Moreover, everyone's experience is different, so the power of the Sharingan obtained may not be the same."

"Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Obito muttered to himself.

The first person that flashed through his mind was Nohara Rin, the girl who was once like the white moonlight in his heart and illuminated the years when he grew up in the ninja school.

If I kill her...

"No! I can never do that!"

Obito stood up suddenly, his expression suddenly changing.

Black Zetsu was not surprised.

It would be strange if Obito could do it. Besides, killing friends and partners just to open his eyes might not necessarily get the desired result.

The Sharingan is for emotional stimulation, not simply killing.

The more Obito resists at this moment, the greater the power he will gain after witnessing the death of his loved ones and people he cares about.

This fruit will ripen sooner or later!
……

"Big! Big! Big! Oh! Damn it!"

Tsunade slammed the table in disappointment, her face full of annoyance.

Lost the bet again!

Turning around, she saw Jing Yan grabbing a bunch of chips at the table next to her. She was stunned for a moment, then came over and said, "Little boy, did you use your ninjutsu ability? This is against the rules!"

"How can it be."

Jing Yan, who was disguised by the transformation technique, glanced at the chips on her table, then looked at her desk and smiled softly, "Don't you know your gambling luck? The legendary big fat sheep!"

"Bah! What a fat sheep! I don't want to play with you anymore!"

Tsunade looked disappointed.

It's boring to keep losing.

result.

This kid is winning, and the chips on the table are almost piled up into a mountain.

Although the other party claimed that he did not use the ability of ninja, she was very clear that Jingyan's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he could judge the condition of the dice without using the ability of ninja.

Thanks to Tsunade's strong ability to lose money, Kyohiko didn't make much money this time, and most of it remained in the casino.

but.

The boss's expression changed from surprise to shock, and finally back to surprise when he realized that the two of them together didn't make much. Tsunade and Kyohiko were truly amazed.

After leaving the gambling house, Tsunade stretched.

"Ah! Since I returned to Konoha, not only have I been busy with official duties, but there are also a lot of people watching me when I go out. I haven't had a good time playing a few games like this for a long time!"

"I want to remind you that you still seem to owe my teacher a lot of money!"

Jingyan said with a smile.

Tsunade curled her lips and said, "If I work hard, I can earn back that little money quickly."

This is not bragging.

With Tsunade's medical ability and reputation, there are countless people in the world who hope she can treat them, and there are even more wealthy people among them -

Those who can afford her are basically very rich!
That being said...

"You owe me eighty thousand taels today. Please pay me back later. You are not shameless enough to owe money to a child, right?"

"What is a kid betting on? He doesn't learn good things, but only bad things!"

Tsunade's face darkened, and she quickly walked forward, "Come on, I'll take you to eat!"

"Lady Tsunade, it's almost time to go back. If we are any later, the Third Hokage will probably be unhappy."

In the darkness, a figure emerged.

"Kaori, don't be so rigid. We finally got out here, let's eat and drink well, and then go back. As for the old man, let him be angry!"

"You should go back. You may not feel bad, but Shizune will."

Jingyan smiled and took out a bamboo piece.

This is the message that Kakashi and his team just sent through the Flying Thunder Array Technique.

Moreover.

The reward for this meeting has yet to arrive.

It can be seen that the villagers have a lot of opinions about this.

Once we get back to the village, we'll probably have to waste some more time talking.

……

On the Konoha side, Shizune is lucky.

"What? She and Jingyan are out?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed his beard and glared, his face full of resentment, "One is the Hokage, and the other is the captain of the Anbu. If they both leave, where will the safety of Konoha be placed?"

Shizune shrank her head.

As a Genin, she couldn't stop Tsunade and Kyouhiko from making decisions. Moreover, they didn't go out to play, but to have serious business. As for what...

The current third generation is only a consultant and she cannot disclose information in this regard.

Moreover.

"Third-sama, it's not that serious, is it? Besides, Kyouhiko and Tsunade-sama are also doing great things for Konoha. As for our ninja village, who dares to attack us now? If they really came to our doorstep, our Anbu would have known about it long ago."

The dark forces nowadays are not what they used to be.

Danzo is focused on the Root organization and muddying the waters outside, but Kyōhiko's strategy is clearly completely different from Danzo's.

The Ibri clan's smoke-like bloodline limit and Kyohiko's Anbu intelligence ninjas, layer upon layer of intelligence networks surrounded the entire Konoha.

In this situation, the only person who can sneak into Konoha is the person who kidnapped Obito before!
Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed out his beard and glared.

It's true that the abdicated Hokage is not as good as a Jonin. Even Shizune can refute it so confidently.

The key is……

He couldn't find any fault with it.

The Anbu established by Jingyan is indeed more solid than the previous Danzo in terms of defense and intelligence gathering. In a sense, the Anbu today is slowly returning to its original essence.

Intelligence, eradication of traitors.

Perform some assassination missions.

In these areas, Jingyan is better than Danzo, and in terms of the promotion and training of talents, he is impeccable, except for one thing -

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he was being marginalized.

He held his breath.

Just as I was about to say something, Tsunade's voice came from outside.

"Teacher, don't embarrass a child. Shizune is just helping with the affairs and learning medical ninjutsu by the way."

Shizune breathed a sigh of relief.

What a pity!

Lady Tsunade is finally back.

She looked at Tsunade with a gloomy gaze. Tsunade smiled back and said, "Teacher, I am going to do something important. Otherwise, why would I leave Konoha so easily?"

"what's up?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

Tsunade said: "As for the cooperation with Sand Village, the details will be discussed at the meeting later. This cooperation is beneficial to both parties. Jingyan and I think it is feasible."

……

"What? You agreed to the Sand Village's conditions so rashly?"

Utane Koharu was very angry.

Mito Kado En silently glanced at his two old friends, then looked at Kyohiko, Orochimaru, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Hyuga Hizashi who were sitting not far away.

basically.

At present, all the senior ninjas with relatively important status in Konoha have been invited here.

Except for the three advisors, the rest were obviously on Tsunade's side. They were already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, and shouting louder would only make themselves appear more imposing.

There is no other use for it.

He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Among the three, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still the leader.

But these days are different.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer Hokage.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't speak, he and Utane Koharu didn't have much weight, so there was no need for him to speak anymore.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, sat up straight and said, "Tsunade, you are too naive. How can you guarantee that the Sand Village will do what we agreed on?"

"Strength. We have such strength, so we can do such things."

Tsunade said firmly, "If the Sand Village wants to break the alliance, then destruction is much easier than construction!"

Today, Kyohiko and Minato are both Kage-level fighters, and with the elusive Flying Thunder God, no one can be stronger than them when it comes to assassination and attack!

This is Tsunade's confidence.

"In addition, what the Sand Village can do, we in Konoha can do as well. If the Sand Village betrays the alliance, then the mining market they have established will become ours."

Jing Yan said, "At this stage, no one will hire ninjas to do commissions in the production industry. If someone is willing to help open a way, why not agree?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stumped by what the two said.

This……

He looked at his two old friends, and for a moment he and Utane Koharu looked at each other in confusion.

As for Mitomon En.

He sighed softly and stood aside in silence.

How many times?
Haven't you learned your lesson yet?

This kid, Liangfeng Jingyan, is not one to suffer losses, and his style of doing things is completely different from their generation.

Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen's style, Kyōhiko, who has grown up invincibly, obviously prefers the bold and open way of the king. No matter whether the opponent obeys or not, Konoha will not lose and will make a lot of money.

national power!

This is what affects the outcome.

If Konoha remained strong, the Sand Village would not dare to betray.

If Konoha becomes weak, then whether the Sand Village betrays or not will no longer be the most critical issue for Konoha.

Even Mizuto Menen has figured out the seriousness of the situation at this moment, but the two old friends seem to have not reacted yet, or are they thinking about how to refute it?

Mito Kado En glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Based on his understanding of his old friend, this was most likely the case, but he really couldn't think of any other angle to refute it.

However, as a friend and advisor, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

The advisor's job is to question and complement the Hokage's decisions.

If he backed down at this moment, then the advisory role would be of no use.

"Where are the tailed beasts? What should we do with the tailed beast Jinchūriki? What's the use of getting them? After all, they are the enemy's people. What benefit can we get from them if they are in our hands?"

"Four years from now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a breath.

He was dissatisfied for the same reason.

but.

Jing Yan, however, looked distressed: "Everyone, can you only see the superficial benefits?"

"Luo Sha is not a person who values ​​his daughter. For someone like him, if it is for the sake of the village, parents, children, and relatives, everything can be abandoned!"

Nara Shikakumichi.

Tsunade simply didn't answer and looked at Jingyan——

She felt that she was not the Hokage, and the person behind her was the Hokage. She was like a puppet, and she just had to do what the other person said.

This feeling is quite subtle.

even.

At this point, Tsunade was expecting Kyouhiko to say something in rebuttal.

"Thoughts, the will of fire, this is what our ancestors left us!"

Jingyan said firmly.

As soon as this word came out, the audience was silent.

Several seniors looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Will of Fire...

Can this also be popular?

In the past, the one who always talked about this thing was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Now, times have really changed!
Jingyan became the most skilled user of the ideological stick, beating them so hard that they were at a loss, including Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Pfft."

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh.

She regretted it as soon as she finished laughing.

I couldn't help it!

Tsunade sat up straight and said, "I think Jingyan is right. The will of fire that our grandfather left us should indeed be studied carefully. Jingyan, please continue!"

There was a hint of smile on Orochimaru's cold face at this moment.

It was rare for the old man to be surpassed by others in terms of "Will of Fire", and his expression at the moment made him very happy.

"Thoughts are weapons. How mature can a five-year-old child be? We use the will of fire, strong village construction and systems to let her know how advanced and excellent we are..."

Jingyan spoke his thoughts calmly.

Thought and will.

The big stick from the previous life is still applicable in the ninja world.

certainly--

All this is based on the fact that they have absolute crushing strength, and the rest of the ninja villages combined are no match for them.

otherwise.

The Will of Fire shouted loudly, but still no one paid any attention.

Will, strength, wealth.

Adding these three together, even if Rasa came, he would be unable to help but doubt whether Konoha's rules and systems are really better, let alone a child.

However, no matter how excellent a system is, without the matching soil and environment, good medicine may become poison.

After all this, let alone the three major consultants.

Even Nara Shikaku was a little confused at the moment. His brain was working frantically as he pondered over Jingyan's entire mechanism.

Education, intelligence network, strength.

Extending this to include income, voice, and ultimately...

He looked up at Jingyan, a hint of surprise on his face.

Shikaku didn't think too far ahead.

but.

He had a vague feeling that Jingyan's plan was not limited to Sand Village and Cloud Village. If such a complete system could continue to extend and expand, the goal would be -

The entire ninja world!

What about then?

Lu Jiu couldn't imagine it. He sat in his seat, his brain working rapidly, and finally he exhaled slowly.

It’s no use thinking too much!

Judging from the current situation, this combination of punches is more than enough to deal with the Sand Village.

Sand Hidden Village...

It's basically on the chopping board, just waiting to be shared.

The others also remained silent.

Although they didn't think as quickly as Shikaku, Haiyi and Hizashi didn't need to speak at all, they just had to watch.

Three consultants...

Tsunade and Kyohiko had already given the answers to the two most difficult questions, leaving them with no thoughts of rebuttal for the time being, and the remaining one seemed less important.

but.

Jing Yan smiled and said: "The most important one, I think, is the Red Sand Scorpion."

"scorpion?"

Everyone's attention was focused again.

They don't think Scorpio is that important.

No matter how talented a genius is, he will still be powerless in front of a behemoth like Konoha.

not to mention.

They can't kill Scorpion by joining forces with the Sand Village...

What's the point of this?
