Chapter 572 Ling: I have always known this.

Finally, after Ling said all the nice things and made a series of guarantees, Youlu finally gave Ling some face by slightly shrinking and moving his claws away, allowing Ling to sit up and talk to Tobirama. However, Tobirama looked at Youlu's tail wrapped around Ling's waist, and for a moment he couldn't tell who had provoked whom - wasn't this possessiveness too strong!

But even though he was complaining, Tobirama didn't show it on his face. He just found a clean stone in front of Ling and sat down. He sorted out what he wanted to ask in his mind and said, "Like I said just now, in addition to gathering information, I also want to ask you a few things to confirm where I will stand in the future, so I hope you won't hide anything from me next time."

Ling leaned against Youlu, gently stroked the soft hair with his fingers, and smiled gently, "Okay, tell me - even if I don't want to tell you, I won't use words to perfunctorily deal with you."

"Okay, then let me ask... Since you want to promote the alliance between the Senju and Uchiha clans, how are you going to deal with the hatred between our two clans?" Tobirama let out a long breath and carefully observed Ling's every reaction. "You and I should both understand that although the hatred between ninjas is meaningless, it will never disappear. After all, we are used to being treated as tools, and tools should not have emotions. The biggest flaw of ninjas as tools is that they use humans as carriers. How are you going to deal with this problem?"

"Ha... what a cruel statement - but I totally agree with it." Ling laughed softly, "In my opinion, it is not difficult to eliminate hatred. The difficult part is that it is a long process, and it is difficult for both parties to take that first step."

Tobirama stared at Ling for a while, and when he saw that he had no intention of continuing, he couldn't help but sigh, "...I'd like to hear the details."

"In my opinion, as long as the history of mutual harm still exists, the hatred for each other will never really disappear. So when we talk about eliminating hatred, we are actually just trying to make each other realize that continuing to deepen hatred will not only destroy each other, but also ourselves."

Ling stopped stroking the hair and paused for a moment. "So, we have to do at least two things. First, we have to make sure that no new hatred arises between us. I asked my companion to help teach the younger generation in the tribe who have ninja qualifications to prevent them from receiving the idea that "all Thousand Hands are evil", "all Thousand Hands are bad", and "all Thousand Hands should be killed".

Another thing is to use the favors I have had before to get the black market personnel who are on good terms with me to avoid the confrontations between the two tribes as much as possible. This has begun to show results. In the past two years, we have indeed had too many conflicts - oh, it's hard for me to find a suitable opponent. You have to grow up quickly, so that maybe I can try my skills with you~"

Tobirama automatically ignored Ling's last words and nodded slightly, "Well, it is indeed important not to create new hatred. I will also consider this carefully after returning and take action after discussing with others. Since you mentioned the first thing, there must be a second thing, right? What is it?"

"The second option is much simpler," Ling held up a finger and smiled, "Just put an end to the previous grudge. Or, let both parties have no choice but to end it. How about that? Simple, right?"

The corner of Tobirama's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand to pinch his brow, "You say it easily, but do you think the hatred accumulated over generations is something that can be easily resolved?! I don't want to die yet, so don't say stupid things like you're my big brother to provoke me to get angry, okay?"

Hearing this, Ling's smile deepened, and he even laughed out loud involuntarily, "Sorry, sorry - but I really don't think this is a difficult thing. After all, it may be difficult for people to empathize with others' happiness, but they all hate pain in the same way."

"That's ridiculous!" Tobirama raised his voice involuntarily, "If we want to achieve the situation you described, the two clans will only face more sacrifices! And further deepen the hatred between each other, and then the surrounding ninja clans will never let us go! With internal and external troubles coming one after another, the two clans will only face destruction sooner!"

"Hehe... Xiao Tobirama, have you ever heard the story of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?"

"H-are you kidding me? At a time like this?!"

Ling made a soothing gesture, still smiling, "Many times, a complete end does not mean [all] - you just said that, right? The biggest flaw of a ninja as a tool is that he uses people as a carrier.

Humans will develop emotions due to their own experiences, will subconsciously pursue a better life for themselves, and will unconsciously follow the crowd... The last point is just like a flock of sheep. As long as you subdue the head sheep, you can easily subdue the flock. "

Hearing this, Tobirama was stunned for a moment, then his slightly angry crimson eyes were stained with fear, and his mouth opened and closed for a long time before a dry sound came out, "...Do you know what you are saying?"

Ling's hand, which had originally stopped, began to stroke the tail wrapped around his waist again. The corners of his mouth still had a gentle smile, and his voice did not fluctuate at all, "I have always known."

But that gentle smile failed to relax the tense nerves of Tobirama, who understood the meaning of Ling's words, and even made him feel cold all over.

Using the method of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys to end hatred is like taming the leader of a flock of sheep...

[If the situation he described were to occur, then the current clan leaders of the two clans, the elders responsible for decision-making, the main battlefield forces of the older generation, and even those of the younger generation who acted in an extreme manner, would all die.

It's okay for our Senju, after all, he is speaking from the perspective of Uchiha, but the current head of the Uchiha clan is his father, right? The fact that his decision-making is so smooth also shows that the elders in their clan are very supportive of him, right?

The older generation of ninjas... even the elders in our clan would hate him on the battlefield but also admire him. Their clan would definitely be more inclined towards him, right? And the younger generation is led by him, willing to endure the resentment towards the Senju for his orders. This is a rare trust, right?

But are all these people who treat him sincerely just sacrifices for him to pave the way for the future?】

Tobirama involuntarily raised his hand to cover his mouth, so as to suppress the nausea that was churning in his stomach. He finally realized what Yi had said, that Uchiha Lingjue was unable to understand what emotions meant in most cases like normal people.
