Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Four-year-old Itachi Uchiha was taken to the battlefield by Fugaku Uchiha, and from then on, he began to ponder the meaning of life and peace.

After Itachi Uchiha was asked to act as a double agent, he became obsessed with the Will of Fire, believing that the Uchiha clan was an evil clan, and in the end, he turned his sword against his clansmen, his lover, and his parents.

Simply put, it's about a paranoid kid who, after being provoked, is brainwashed by his enemy and becomes a ruthless devil.

Asuma and Itachi Uchiha are similar in some ways.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't as abstract as Fugaku Uchiha, he still failed to do his job properly, allowing the intelligent and observant Asuma to sense the village's dark side from various clues and begin to question his own origins.

It can only be said that a ninja who has only learned how to kill since childhood has a natural mission to be a good sword.

If a cynical blade begins to think, it's hard to say whether it will strike enemy or ally...

After all, what correct things can a knife possibly come up with?

In the ninja world, there are very few ninjas with normal minds. Not only the Uchiha clan, but most ninjas are terrifyingly obsessive.

As for Itachi Uchiha, he came into contact with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura in his childhood, which led him to betray the Uchiha clan.

Asuma, being the son of the Third Hokage, was well protected, but he ended up wandering and wasting his youth.

But things are different now; Asma has found Qingshui.

Qingshui can be both a sharp knife and the person wielding it…

"Asuma, since you distrust the Will of Fire so much and have such doubts about the village, why did you come to me?"

Aokiji gazed at the Hokage Rock in the distance, looking at Tobirama Senju atop it, and slowly said:

"You think that my mastery of the Will of Fire should be something further away from me?"

Asuma shook his head, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes:

"I don't think the Will of Fire is bad... I just think that the people who interpret the Will of Fire now are too hypocritical. What they say and what they do are completely different."

"Qingshui, may I call you that?"

After receiving Qingshui's affirmation, Asuma seemed to be in a better mood and continued:

"In my eyes, you are the true embodiment of the Will of Fire. You are strong, humble, and helpful. Even though you are an Uchiha, your existence and story inspire many students."

"Especially when I saw you helping Inada Kojiro that day, I couldn't help but want to talk to you."

"Instead of encouraging him to become a ninja, you helped him open a shop he liked. What I saw in his eyes was a genuine smile..."

"Even I, or any ordinary ninja academy teacher, if I wanted to help him, would only think about how to help him become a ninja..."

“From that moment on, I knew you were special, Qingshui.”

Asma turned his head, looked at Qingshui seriously, and said in a deep voice, "So, I came to find you."

Qing Shui nodded knowingly and posed a question:

"Asuma, do you think it's worth sacrificing the happiness of some people in Konoha to exchange for the happiness of others?"

"Just like your friends who joined Root, some of them may want to walk in the light, and some may just want to open a small shop like Inada Kojiro, but they all joined Root."

"Although they sacrificed their lives, they increased Konoha's defensive capabilities..."

Asma narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, shook his head vigorously:

“My friends, they did it voluntarily! In that case, although Konoha has become stronger, this strength is not the right kind, and I don’t think it can last.”

"The First Hokage said that Konoha was founded so that a group of people could unite and resist the invasion of other hidden villages..."

"But I absolutely do not condone actions like those of Shimura Danzo, who use the pretext of fighting against other hidden villages to attack their own people first!!"

Asma clenched his fists tightly as he spoke, his voice sounding almost like a growl.

Qingshui smiled and slowly said, "If that's the case, Asuma, then let me ask you another question..."

"Suppose that the Third Shinobi World War breaks out and Konoha is at a disadvantage. At this time, the enemy village proposes that if Konoha hands over a few not-so-powerful ninjas, a peace agreement can be reached. If you were the Hokage, would you agree?"

Asma was about to say something.

Qingshui gestured for him to hold on and continued to add to the conditions:

"If the war continues, hundreds or thousands of Konoha ninjas will die. But if we agree to their demands, the enemy will at least cease hostilities for ten years, ushering in a relatively long period of peace."

"Think about this carefully, and then tell me what you would choose?"

Asma hesitated noticeably and began to think.

Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes, and compared to the hesitant Asuma, his answer was much more straightforward:

"What a pointless question. If any Konoha high-ranking official were to hand over any of the village's ninjas because of a ceasefire agreement, I'd be the first to kill him! Even if that monkey or Danzo makes some small mistakes, they wouldn't be that stupid..."

"This isn't about how many Konoha ninja die; it's about the spirit and will of this village!"

"If we don't even have the backbone to fight for our comrades and enemies, then Konoha has no reason to exist!"

Aokiji looked at Tobirama Senju with great interest and asked with a smile:

"What if the same problem occurred during the First Shinobi World War, and the enemy offered to exchange Uchiha as hostages?"

"Kid, who do you take me for?"

Tobirama Senju sneered disdainfully:

"It's true that I discriminate against the Uchiha clan, but that's because I monitor every potential source of unrest inside and outside every village."

"But that doesn't mean I'm going to resolve Konoha's internal conflicts outside the village."

"If I did that, I wouldn't deserve to be the Second Hokage!"

Aokiji applauded Tobirama Senju and said softly, "I believe in you, Tobirama."

And at this time.

Troubled by the advanced question posed by Qing Shui, Asuma, in his struggle, made his own decision, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if he truly were the Hokage:

"Aoshui, I will not hand over any Konoha ninja, not even a single genin!"

I have a meeting this morning, and I'm afraid I won't have time to slack off, so I'll write a chapter first!

I'd also like to recommend a friend's book:

[Direct Link and Introduction Below]:

Is your company legitimate? How come you're involved in games, movies, and music?

Lin Yuan: That's how games are made!

Chapter 48: Think more! Asuma is binding a new laning target!

Chapter 48 You need to think more, Asuma... Bind to a new laning target!

“Very good, Asuma.”

Qingshui laughed from the bottom of his heart, his smile full of appreciation: "Just like you, that's what I think too."

"So, what do you think the current Konoha leadership would do in the face of the situation I've described?"

Qingshui never intended to answer Asuma's question from the beginning. Instead, he used a questioning approach to guide Asuma's thinking step by step, allowing him to answer the question himself.

This conclusion was reached by Asma through his own thinking, not by Qingshui forcing it upon him; it will be extremely profound and firmly rooted in his heart.

"I-I don't know!"

Asma frowned, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes.

Given the current leadership of Konoha, would they really refuse Aokiji's proposal to sacrifice some ninja in exchange for a peace agreement?

Asuma already had the answer in his heart, but the combination of his status as the son of the Hokage and that absurd answer was too much of a shock to him.

That village was completely different from what Asuma envisioned Konoha to be like!

Forget about the Will of Fire. If that were the case, Konoha would have become a cannibalistic hell... Just slap the label of the Will of Fire on any Konoha ninja and they'd be dead!

Qingshui appreciated Asuma's panic, but comforted him with his words: "I don't know the answer to this question either, Asuma... Even if we have some guesses about things that haven't happened, we can't be sure."

"But if you already have reservations in your heart, it means that you are not satisfied with the current state of Konoha."

"In this ninja world, if you want to change something, the correctness of your thinking is often secondary; force is the key to ensuring those insects dare not speak out..."

Qingshui tugged at Asuma's sleeve, looking at the scorch marks, and said, "Are you practicing fire-style chakra transformation?"

Asuma nodded awkwardly: "Seisui, it's like this, the Sarutobi clan is skilled in fire-style techniques."

Qing Shui nodded knowingly, then raised a finger.

A crimson flame meandered and leaped from Qing Shui's fingertips, dancing freely in the air.

Asuma stared intently at the flames that resembled a flying dragon.

He knows his stuff; this is an advanced form and nature transformation of fire-style chakra!

"Qingshui, you are not only so proficient in water-style chakra, but you also have such a good grasp of fire-style chakra!"

Asuma looked at Qingshui with admiration, then suddenly remembered Qingshui's background and scratched his head: "I forgot you're from the Uchiha clan, Qingshui..."

Qing Shui smiled and shook his head, tapping his fingers repeatedly.

Then, more flames appeared in the air, and these small but lively flames gathered together.

Asma stared blankly at the scene.

Suddenly, what were just tiny flames had transformed into a thick fire dragon, roaring in mid-air!

The fire dragon seemed to have a life of its own, hovering above Qing Shui's head, looking at Asma with a majestic yet gentle gaze.

"Asma, I am very grateful to you for sharing some of your thoughts with me today."

Despite the fire dragon's imposing presence, Qing Shui's expression didn't appear stern; instead, the firelight made him seem even more gentle: "In this somewhat oppressive village, finding a like-minded person is truly difficult..."

"But as I said, to make the village a better place, we need to have the strength to support it."

“Asma, if you trust me, relax your mind. I will use these eyes to help you unleash your potential.”

Aokiji generously revealed his Sharingan, and the usually scarlet Sharingan appeared warm and clear under the flames.

Asuma stared into Qingshui's eyes and murmured, "This...this is the Sharingan, completely different from what I've heard..."

A moment later, Asuma, feeling the warmth of Qingshui's gaze, nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Qingshui!"

The magatama spun violently.
