Now I have a reasonable excuse to contact Qingshui.

Just as Tsunade was about to say something, Aokiji appeared at the camp entrance, a gentle smile on his face as he looked at her.

"It's been a long time, Tsunade-sensei!"

Tsunade blinked hard and unconsciously ran quickly toward Aoshimizu. Halfway there, she realized that her master's attitude seemed a bit strange, so she slowed down awkwardly, but still quickly arrived in front of Aoshimizu and carefully examined him.

"Qingshui, what brings you here!"

"Qingshui-kun, I was just about to contact you..."

Orochimaru, oblivious to Tsunade's charm, pushed her aside, drawing a glare from her, but she pretended not to notice and approached Aozumi: "I was just about to ask you for your approval regarding the deployment of the Tobirama series weapons."

Qingshui nodded: "Do you have any recent battle reports? Let me see them."

Orochimaru picked up a briefing and handed it to Aoshizu: "The battle is going well, but the problem is that we still have too few troops..."

"Moreover, the Hidden Cloud Village has hidden weapons. After witnessing our Tobirama series of ninja tools, they brought out the Six Paths Sage's treasures, which can be considered a match for us."

Qingshui read quickly, noting that thanks to the advantages of new weapons and air combat, the Cloud Hidden Battlefield could achieve a kill ratio of nearly 1:4.

For a village like Kumogakure, which has two Jinchūriki, a powerful Third Raikage, and highly skilled individual soldiers, Konoha's ability to achieve this effect with only one-fifth of its forces is truly commendable.

There is only one Qingshui River.

Do you have specific information about the Six Paths Noble Phantasms?

Qingshui thought of his Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror, wondering which of the Six Paths Treasures these two Susanoo would be stronger or weaker.

"some."

Orochimaru demonstrated his excellent intelligence-gathering ability: "According to records in the ancient texts, Kumogakure used the Banana Fan and the Amber Purification Bottle."

"Among them, the Banana Fan can unleash a powerful bombardment of five chakra natures, enough to easily kill a Jonin. The wind release it releases can resist the poisonous mist of Tobirama No. 2."

"The Amber Purification Bottle is suspected to have powerful sealing abilities. The Third Raikage used this bottle to absorb some of Tobirama No. 1's black flames, preventing us from expanding our gains in the last war."

"The Cloud Village also possesses the Golden Rope, the Crimson Gourd, and the Seven Star Sword, but they have never been used yet, and there is no detailed information available at the moment."

Qing Shui nodded knowingly.

The Hidden Cloud Village truly possesses a profound heritage, boasting as many as five Six Paths Treasures. In the original timeline, they even independently developed a chakra cannon, demonstrating a respectful attitude towards scientific research.

If it weren't for the reincarnations of the Sage of Six Paths, Indra, and Ashura, under the conditions of natural competition, Kumogakure might be the most likely of the five great hidden villages to become the final winner, after all, it is the only village that did not have any rogue ninja join Akatsuki.

Their governance capabilities aren't exactly outstanding, but among the worst of the worst, they're among the best...

"Based on this casualty ratio, even assuming the enemy is completely wiped out, Konoha won't have many ninja left..."

Qingshui tapped the table:

“We can target the enemy’s lower and middle ranks as our primary targets, and we can do the same with their leaders, especially when they have a numerical advantage.”

"It's just about eliminating living forces; as a Kage, I can figure that out."

Orochimaru nodded. He didn't seem to care much about the hundreds of Konoha ninja who had died or been injured; it was simply part of the war.

But Qing Shui's next words sent a chill down his spine, even for someone as cold-blooded as him:

"Orochimaru, what is your definition of peace?"

Qingshui stared at the intelligence report in his hand, and said with some distress, "According to this casualty ratio, assuming that Konoha only has a few hundred people left, the other hidden villages should have been wiped out as well. Can this be considered a sign of peace?"

"After all, only our own people survived, and the enemy is dead. Doesn't that mean we've achieved lasting peace?"

Orochimaru just imagined that scene…

Qingshui's words can be interpreted as meaning that everyone has died, so there's no one left to fight.

Even Orochimaru, who was used to conducting human experiments, felt that Aokiji's idea seemed a bit too extreme...

"This...this shouldn't count, right?"

Orochimaru tentatively asked, staring intently at Aoshui with a serious look in his eyes, feeling somewhat anxious.

As expected, the combination of Uchiha and Tobirama Senju produces strange effects!

Aokiji had such a gentle personality, yet how long had it been since he went from having a perfect Will of Fire to contemplating detonating the entire ninja world?

Orochimaru did have feelings for Konoha. Even though he initiated the plan to destroy Konoha in the original timeline, it was only an extreme act to make the new windmill turn in the ninja world and break the rigid order of the decaying village.

But it wasn't as extreme as wiping out Konoha and the other hidden villages...

Qing Shui's eyes showed that he was genuinely pondering this question!

Orochimaru was very worried. This was the perfect body he had his eye on. He was afraid that old man Tobirama Senju might lead Aoshui astray and cause him to develop self-destructive tendencies!

Having realized this, Orochimaru couldn't wait to end the war and help Aokiji remove Tobirama Senju from his mind...

Of course, he then replaced Tobirama Senju.

Orochimaru wasn't the only one who wanted to get Tobirama Senju out of Aoshui's mind.

Tsunade's expression was contorted...

The Qing Shui she knew was the one who would try to make her a bowl of warm chicken soup before the bell was awarded to her during the class division!

Since Qingshui unleashed Tobirama Senju's chakra, his strength has increased rapidly, but he then took over the Dark Root of Konoha, and his thinking has become extreme!

"Second Grandfather, you always say the Uchiha clan is inherently evil, but I think you are the one who is..."

Tsunade grumbled inwardly, thinking of what Mito Uzumaki had once told her—"Throw your great-grandfather out like trash with a sealing technique!"

Tsunade wanted to get this matter on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Qingshui, this isn't peace. I'll be with you, and we'll take it one step at a time." Tsunade boldly grasped Qingshui's hand, looking at him with concern.

"Qingshui, scientifically speaking, this should be called extinction, not peace..."

Orochimaru offered a very fair assessment: "Of course, we can flexibly redefine peace, but I do not support doing so."

It's rare to see Tsunade and Orochimaru on the same side.

Tobirama Senju, who was being criticized by everyone, also frowned at this moment. Was this another case of the Uchiha clan's demonic possession?

What should I do...?

Especially during wartime, death and bloodshed can stir up emotions, putting the Uchiha in an unstable state.

"A few words probably won't convince Qingshui..."

Tobirama Senju pondered, "According to Orochimaru, the battle has reached a relatively calm turning point, and Aozumi hasn't fully dealt with the ancient Uchiha chakra within Konoha yet. He really shouldn't be allowed to continue fighting."

"We need to find a way to distract Qingshui..."

What other options are there?

Tobirama Senju thought of Jiraiya, the grand-disciple who had spent almost his entire life busy with prophecies…

Why don't we first let Qing Shui listen to the prophecy, visit the major holy sites, and study the Uchiha stone tablet together?

After all, what harm could a stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths possibly pose?

Although Madara Uchiha betrayed the village after reading it, this was not strong evidence. In Tobirama Senju's view, it was just an excuse for Madara Uchiha to want internal strife.

If we need peace, do we really need to fight to the death with his elder brother?

Don't joke around...

Tobirama Senju saw many ancient texts, most of which contained statements about the Sage of Six Paths regarding "Ninja Sect," which were pedantic arguments that were meant to be understood by others.

Although Tobirama Senju disliked and even despised these things, they were surprisingly suitable for Aoshui at the moment.

Furthermore, after arriving at the sacred land, we can try to have Qing Shui learn the Immortal Mode. Regardless of whether he can learn it, it is said that controlling natural energy requires a calm mind, which will help Qing Shui calm down...

A glint flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes, and he slowly spoke:

"Qingshui, listen to me..."

A post-apocalyptic rebirth story, quite interesting and well-made. It's a new book from an established author, and interested readers can check it out.

Chapter 180 Tobirama: Seisui, you need to relax.

...

What are your thoughts, Tobirama?

Qingshui sighed helplessly, "I feel like there are so many things to do, and my thoughts are all jumbled up."

"A war sweeping across the ninja world, a prophecy concerning future peace, chakra surging within me... Sigh..."

Senju Tobirama gazed at Aoshui's expression and nodded in empathy.

If anyone could truly understand the turmoil in Aozumi's heart, then Tobirama Senju believed himself to be the one!

Only he saw Qing Shui's changes and growth along the way, knew Qing Shui's ambitions and struggles, and the faint demonic nature within him...

"I have extensive experience in war, Qingshui..."

Tobirama Senju slowly said:

"This battle has now reached a stalemate. The large-scale killing techniques you demonstrated in Iwagakure will deter the enemy from making any rash moves. At least until they figure out your tactics, they won't launch a mass attack. Don't feel too much pressure."

"Just as you said, Aoshiki, Konoha is not yet qualified to unify the ninja world. We can develop new weapons to kill the enemy's lower-ranking ninjas, and the enemy can do the same thing."

"If they are driven to the brink of despair, and those Kage and Jinchuriki resort to covert attacks, abandoning the village and their headquarters to slaughter Konoha's lower and middle-ranking ninjas, then the final result will likely be mutual destruction."

"So, Qingshui, you've done very well. Achieving victory in one fell swoop is a dream, but we also have to face reality. You're not even eighteen yet. Only if you patiently continue to grow will the entire ninja world change because of you. Don't rush things, relax a bit..."

Tobirama Senju spoke very seriously, his eyes filled with concern for Aoshui.

These words came from the bottom of his heart...

This young Uchiha has already accomplished what even the Second Hokage couldn't. There's no need for him to put pressure on himself to pursue perfection to the point of going to extremes; that would be a losing proposition.

War is not simply about killing people; it is a multi-faceted struggle between multiple groups.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha's Top Transformation Buddha could destroy the minds of five Kage-level ninjas, but for 99% of the ninjas in the ninja world, a single Kage was enough to kill them instantly.

This principle is similar to why, during the First Shinobi World War, all the hidden villages didn't directly attack Konoha...

Because Mito Uzumaki was still at her peak and the Nine-Tails was still inside her, no one could afford to risk a lose-lose situation.

After witnessing Aoshui's explosive power and his seemingly deliberate attempt to wipe out the entire ninja world, Tobirama Senju remarked that the child really needed a rest!

If this killing continues, we'll see what happens to Tobirama Senju.
