He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

Are ninjas strong?

Without special abilities, even the strongest ninja could have their throat slit in their sleep and die.

Even superhumans with chakra are like this, so it's even more true in a technological world full of ordinary people.

Even with abundant funds and powerful weapons, if one cannot guarantee constant self-protection, a single small pebble can seize an opportunity to take them away.

They were ninjas who killed people, so don't say it was to protect their homeland.

The ninjas of Konoha go to other countries to carry out assassination missions, steal important information, and kidnap and frame people. All of these are to protect their homeland, but do you dare to say that these actions are correct?

Your seating position determines your thoughts.

Having enjoyed so many benefits, when it's your turn to do something for your family, you say it goes against your morality, that you're not a good person, or that it's a righteous act?

Then why didn't you accept the offer in the first place?

This is essentially a transaction.

Your family's influence nurtured and raised you from childhood. As you grew up, they protected you, making transactions that were both reasonable and legitimate.

Otherwise, the family could simply give birth to you without nurturing you, and then release you to fend for yourself once you reach a certain age.

This is one of the reasons why Orochimaru has always disliked Jiraiya.

The good news is that although Jiraiya is silly, he will still put in the effort and won't let us down at crucial moments.

Um...

Thinking of his actions in going to the Land of Rain to teach the three little ones shortly after the war ended, when the situation was turbulent, Orochimaru silently suppressed this thought.

This toad is never serious!

Normal meetings are simple.

Raise questions, discuss questions, and finally return to the essence.

How to solve this problem?

People in this world tend to live their lives behind closed doors and try their best to find ways to avoid being targeted.

Since these problems haven't affected the world yet, they're none of their business.

War kills people.

Their world had finally achieved peace under the powerful suppression of the Fifty Strings, with only occasional minor disturbances reported.

The death toll in the five great ninja villages plummeted from its once high level to almost zero.

With such a huge reward, why would they be willing to send their own people to their deaths in a strange world?

Not one, but three!

Three worlds that are roughly equal to them in strength, except for the highest levels.

It's like filling their entire world into them; even dividing it into three parts wouldn't be enough.

They, having experienced the cruelty of war, naturally did not want to be pure flesh and blood churns.

Byakugan Blue and Gaara understood this, so they didn't have high expectations from the beginning. They only decided to give it a try because they had come to this world inexplicably.

But Jiraiya, who had lost his arm, was extremely anxious.

He genuinely wanted the world to help his world.

Orochimaru shook his head slightly as he watched the one-armed toad leaping about.

Did Jiraiya not know that cutting off his arm was useless?

He certainly knew that, but he was a contradictory person.

On the one hand, he believed in the prophecy of Mount Myōboku and believed that he could leave when the village needed him.

But he loved the village so much that he would bravely face whatever lay ahead, even if it meant certain death.

For example, even though he knows there's not much hope, most of these people just want to know about the disasters and the situation in their world from him, he still insists on getting them to take action.

Even exchanging it for some supplies would be a good thing.

Tsunade hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

In the end, they remained silent.

After all, according to Isogen and Orochimaru, the main goal of those insect swarms was to occupy territory, and their attacks were aimed at those who actively attacked them.

And people like that in the ninja world...

If you see a majestic rhinoceros beetle by the roadside, wouldn't you want to poke it with a stick?

Insect swarms in almost every world transform into natural disasters in this way.

As for ordinary people, they are not within the range of the insect swarm's attack at all.

When creating the queen beetle, Fifty Strings considered high-efficiency production.

If the mother worm needs to eat regular food to produce offspring, then the worker worms that go out to collect food will die from exhaustion, and even squeezing the entire ninja world's resources dry wouldn't be enough.

The mother worm needs energy first, and then flesh and blood.

Even flesh and blood don't choose people.

This thing, in terms of its edible value alone, could make tigers and other wild beasts abandon their other prey.

But it's too inefficient for the mother worm.

They only reproduce once a year, and most likely only one at a time. At this rate, it would be ages before they could form a colony.

It was only after understanding these details that the author felt a little relieved.

At the very least, it wasn't an unparalleled massacre by a demon king.

Since that's the case, she had nothing to say and would just watch from the sidelines... Otherwise, was she supposed to call Isogen cold-blooded and ruthless, an unparalleled demon king, just because he wanted to conquer other worlds?

No matter when or where, family is the most important thing, a realization she came to after reaching a certain age.

If you can't even protect your family, what's the point of having all this strength?

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, whose eyes were gradually hardening, and was speechless.

To some extent, this family is actually a little mentally ill.

Needless to say, Tsunade's hemophobia has gradually improved, but problems have arisen as well. Because of her past experiences of losing family members one after another, she values ​​each and every one of them extremely. Igogami is on the list and is firmly nailed to her heart.

Hinata Mizuki... needless to say, she has already transformed into the shape of a fifty-stringed bow.

Despite her optimistic and cheerful demeanor, and her constant laughter, Kushina hasn't forgotten her childhood experiences.

Uchiha Hikaru is the same as above, Yekura... here comes the orphan, Yakushi Nono, this one seems normal, but actually has some problems, it's just that his usual gentleness covers them up.

hiss!

So, if we calculate it this way, it seems understandable that Fifty Strings would grow up like this in such an environment, instead of thinking about how to take revenge on the world and destroy it all day long!

Orochimaru gasped, deeply shocked!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Chapter 407 Where is he?

Orochimaru felt he had finally found the culprit that had turned Isogen into this!

How can one maintain a good mindset living in such an environment? How can one's mental state not be affected?

Especially from today's perspective, we can see the growth experience of the fifty strings.

He grew up with almost no older male elders.

It's not that children need male parents to grow up, but sometimes they do need some guidance in this regard. If Mito Uzumaki, Nono Yakushi, or others can take on the role and responsibility of male parents in guiding their children's growth, that would be fine.

But the key point is that there is none, absolutely none.

The way Isogen was treated from childhood to adulthood almost made people wonder if he was the little ancestor of the Senju lineage.

Pampering is ever-present.

Scolding does not exist.

At this time, some people said that with such talent and strength, one should contribute to the village, protect the villagers, and gain everyone's recognition in order to become Hokage.

Whirlpool Water House.

Tsunade.

Say it again in front of us?

The former is a veteran who has been there since the village was founded. He knows the process of selecting the Hokage better than anyone else. The first Hokage had a hammer-like recognition process. If you have to talk about recognition, it was the two old guys who beat the entire ninja world until everyone was convinced. No one in Konoha dared to breathe too loudly.

After all, Madara Uchiha was capable of taking real action back then, and Tobirama Senju would keep an eye on anyone who dared to step forward.

By the second generation, it was said that only those who were recognized by everyone could become Hokage. In essence, it was just that Tobirama Senju relied on his status as the younger brother of the First Hokage and his equally good strength to win people over with virtue, the virtue of martial virtue.

Her husband and brother-in-law both died because of this wretched position, and now they want to send their grandson, whom they've finally raised, into this hellhole to take care of those increasingly arrogant troublemakers who are taking advantage of Konoha's preferential policies for civilians?

Don't mention such unlucky things in front of him.

The same applies to Tsunade.

Her once lively family was suddenly filled with deaths and burials. She herself despised the position of Hokage and was still hoping that she could persuade Isogen to take over as Hokage.

Anyone who dares to say that and isn't punched three miles away on the spot is considered to have a serious body.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, pipe in mouth, looked helpless as everyone in the meeting room argued their points, creating a tense atmosphere that seemed poised to escalate into a full-blown fight.

Sure enough, this was a troublesome matter.

Sigh, when will I be able to retire?

To ordinary people, being Hokage is naturally a wonderful position, with immense power, second only to the emperor. Especially now, as the daimyo of various countries gradually realize the dangers of power under the influence of virtue, they voluntarily relinquish their power and arrange a suitable retirement position for themselves, no longer interfering in politics.

The ninja world was a scene of peace and prosperity, filled with song and dance.

The ninja villages that possess extraordinary power became the most coveted prizes, and the Kage of the Five Great Villages became a position that countless people vied to curry favor with and aspire to climb.

While the other four village kage might actually live a good life, for Hiruzen Sarutobi, the position of Hokage was a hot potato.

Above, the Fifty Strings of Yuge (a type of ancient Chinese song) dominates the heavens and the earth, causing a great commotion from time to time. Even Hokage Iwa has been turned into a large mecha base. The cannon muzzle, which is thicker than Hokage Iwa, can terrify 99% of the ninja world when it extends, and the remaining 10% are scared to death.

There is a group of unruly talents below.

At times like this, he would be thankful that Danzo had volunteered to work on the screws. Otherwise, if that guy were still around, if his Root organization were still around, causing trouble everywhere and constantly challenging the Hokage's position, he would be in real trouble.

In fact, by now, he has basically no problem handing over the Hokage position to Danzo.

I used to just think that Danzo's personality wasn't suited to be Hokage.

now.

Suit!

It fits so well!

You were born to be a star!

Hurry up and get ready to start work!

Whether he can sit still or for how many days after sitting down is none of his concern.

Anyway, there are so many capable people in Konoha. If he can't sit still, there are plenty of others who can. As long as we don't let this old man continue to hold the fort, everything is negotiable.

Why should an old man who wants to retire have to bear the brunt of it?

To be honest, he didn't really care much about the power of the Hokage position.

Perhaps when he first came to power, he was ambitious and wanted to achieve great things that surpassed those of his predecessors.

But you'll only discover that once you actually start using it.

Hahaha... I was a bit too arrogant before. With my limited abilities, I'd better just be a ruler who maintains the status quo.

Fortunately, it may be that the first generation of Kage spent a lot of energy in Ninja Village. Although each of the Kages born in the Ninja Village has good abilities, they are more or less inferior to the previous Kages in some aspects, allowing him to continue to maintain the current situation by relying on Konoha's huge advantages.

At times like these, he felt a pang of envy for other ninja villages.

Although these ninja villages do not have as many talented people as Konoha, they also face their own difficulties.

Ultimately, they have full authority to make their own decisions and don't need to worry too much about being hindered by other forces in the village. Even if they are, it won't be a big deal. When it comes to matters of principle, they still have to respect Shadow's decisions and obey his orders.
