Chapter 197 The will of fire that cannot be tarnished (5.8k)

After Tsunade left, Senju Momoka still chose to continue drinking, but her thoughts at this time were not on enjoying the wine, but on how to help Kirito quietly get through the current crisis.

Today, Sandai received letters of protest from the five great ninja villages that owned tailed beasts, including Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure. As an advisor to the Hokage, she was naturally one of the insiders.

Of course, Momohua was very angry about this. When she learned about this, she scolded these people in the Ninja Village for being extremely shameless.

It's a shame that these people still have the nerve to accuse Konoha of the tailed beast distribution agreement they signed with Hashirama-sama. Why don't they think about who took the initiative to tear up this agreement? This disgusting face really made her realize something. .

She really didn't expect those guys to be so shameless and choose to use such dirty diplomacy in order to target an 11-year-old child.

Taohua was very angry, but she also knew that no matter how angry she was, she could not change the wishes and choices of those shameless people. If she wanted to make these people change their words honestly and swallow their spit, the only way was to completely defeat these bastards. .

"Hashirama-sama should have crippled these shameless guys from the beginning. He should not have given them the opportunity to cultivate and grow. He should not have been so kind to them, and he should not have assigned the tailed beasts to them."

When Taohua thought about the protest letter now, she couldn't help but get angry. She subconsciously squeezed the wine glass in her hand and said bitterly.

Then, she took a deep breath, drank the wine in her hand, and calmed herself down again.

"No matter how stupid the idiot Sandai is, he cannot agree to such a ridiculous thing. Once he agrees, he, the Hokage, will not be able to continue doing it. But Kirito's current strength is too ostentatious, and those rats must not want him. It's better, even if you can't kill him, it will disgust him and destroy the prestige he has finally accumulated in the village."

Taohua analyzed calmly.

With Kirito's current strength and potential, as well as his status as a hero of Konoha, anyone who dares to openly ask Kirito to hand over Shukaku is simply looking for death.

Kirito didn't even need to take action himself, Konoha's fighting ninjas with strong combat power and tough external attitude would teach those idiots who asked Kirito to hand over Shukaku to behave themselves.

However, there must be some people who will spread the news in the village that Konoha will be besieged by other ninja villages because of Kirito's capture of the One-Tailed Shukaku.

At that time, there will definitely be many disgusting guys jumping out to attack Kirito. They will pretend to condemn Kirito from a righteous standpoint, conduct so-called moral kidnappings against Kirito, and spread the news that Kirito is unwilling because he is afraid of death. To hand over Shukaku to Konoha for such disgusting rumors.

Konoha was besieged by other ninja villages at the same time, which was undoubtedly a big event.

Once many villagers know this, they will definitely become panicked. In order to protect themselves, some of them must want Kirito to ask Shukaku to return him to Sunagakure, and they will condemn Kirito indiscriminately.

The human heart is like this. Most people are selfish. Once a disaster strikes, it will be difficult for many of them to withstand the test of human nature, stick to the bottom line of morality, and not sell out the interests of others to save themselves.

Rumors can kill, they can destroy a person.

Under the influence of public praise, a hero praised by everyone may turn into a bear despised by everyone in the blink of an eye.

Since Momoka replaced Danzo and took over Konoha's intelligence system, she has seen too many similar despicable methods.

Kirito's enemies would definitely try to destroy this young Konoha genius in this way if they found out that they couldn't kill him head-on.

Even if he failed to use the rumors to successfully destroy Kirito. He also wants to leave a thorn in Kirito's heart and create a gap between Kirito and Konoha.

It's really heartbreaking.

The most irritating thing is that this is a naked conspiracy that is difficult to effectively solve.

Although Momo knew that Kirito would understand what was going on with his intelligence and would most likely not care about it, she cared very much.

Kirito is Mito-sama's direct disciple, and he is also the current face of their Senju clan.

In her heart, she couldn't bear to see Kirito's reputation being damaged by others using such despicable means, and she didn't want to see anyone in Konoha treat a hero who had made great contributions to Konoha's life and death in this way.

If such a thing really happened, it might not chill Kirito's heart, but it would certainly chill the hearts of those soldiers who also shed their blood for Konoha on the front lines.

Kirito is now a role model for countless frontline warriors, and an idol for those passionate young ninjas who still have justice and ideals in their hearts. If he suffers such dishonorable and unfair treatment, what will happen to other Konoha ninjas who regard Kirito as their idol? What do you think?

Will they still protect Konoha with passion?

Will you still believe in the will of fire left behind by the first generation of adults?

"The Will of Fire will never be allowed to be tarnished in the slightest. Anyone who dares to do such a shameful thing behind his back must die."

Taohua pondered for a moment with a solemn face, then gritted her teeth and said.

The Will of Fire is the most precious thing that Lord Hashirama left to Konoha. It is precisely because of its existence that all major ninja clans regard Konoha as their home.

If the Will of Fire is tainted, Konoha will cease to exist in name only.

When Taohua thought about the seriousness of the problem, she immediately stood up, quickly walked into the study, wrote more than 20 letters in a row, then handed them to her subordinates, and told her subordinates to personally deliver these letters to the recipients.

"I hope these people will make the right choice. This is a matter of principle. If anyone is unwilling to abide by it, there is no need to continue to survive in Konoha. Master Hashirama, Konoha has indeed been growing, but it has also grown in the process. There are a lot of rot roots that must be removed.”

After Taohua sent the letter out, she quietly made up her mind.

. . .

In the Uchiha clan's home, Chizuru's home.

Uchiha Homura was talking to a blue cat standing like a human in his room. At this time, the conversation between the two was coming to an end.

The blue cat is Kirito's psychic beast, Tom.

"Tom, I have written down your master's request. Go back and tell him that I will prepare what he wants as soon as possible."

Uchiha Homura said to Tom with a smile.

After saying that, he took out a can of cat cans from a famous brand and handed it to the blue cat in front of him.

When Tom saw the canned cat, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately reached out to take the canned cat and said happily: "Okay, I will put in a good word for you in front of the boss."

"Tom, have you been growing recently? It feels like you've gotten a lot bigger."

Just as Tom was about to leave, Uchiha Homura suddenly asked.

The last time he had seen Tom, Tom had only come up to his knees; now it was up to his chest.

Seeing that Uchiha Homura gave him the canned cat, Tom satisfied Uchiha Homura's curiosity and said proudly: "Your observation skills are very good, and you are worthy of being the leader of the Uchiha clan. I have indeed been growing recently, hehe. , just wait and see, after a while, I will definitely become the fifth king of ninja cats."

"I see, then I wish you success as soon as possible."

Uchiha Homura said thoughtfully.

The Ninja Cat Clan has four powerful beings, all of whom are large psychic beasts, comparable in size to tailed beasts, and very powerful in combat.

Tom's current size is still far from becoming a large psychic beast, but Uchiha Homura did not doubt Tom's words because he discovered a very special energy from Tom.

This energy is exactly the energy of nature.

As a leader among shadow-level experts, of course he discovered the existence of natural energy a long time ago, and there are many records about natural energy in his family.

It is a pity that the Uchiha clan seems to have mediocre talent in cultivating natural energy. Even though shadow-level experts are born in every generation, none of them successfully cultivates natural energy and eventually becomes a sage.

But even so, the Uchiha clan has also done some research on natural energy. The biggest discovery is that natural energy has the effect of making living things huge. This situation generally only affects psychic beasts.

In the ninja world, every large psychic beast cultivates natural energy to some extent.

It is precisely because of long-term cultivation of natural energy that the physical fitness of these psychic beasts is extremely amazing. Some of the best ones have successfully integrated chakra and natural energy into magical chakra, becoming immortals with long lifespans.

Tom has now successfully cultivated natural energy, and his future achievements are immeasurable. It is very likely that he will truly become the fifth king of the Ninja Cat Clan.

However, he was confused, because according to what he learned from other ninja cats, Kirito's psychic beast Tom was actually a very ordinary ninja cat. Although his strength was pretty good, comparable to that of an elite chunin, he had always been a ninja cat. No one in the clan has shown the talent to cultivate natural energy.

If a Ninja Beast wants to cultivate natural energy, it also needs talent. If the Ninja Beast does not come from the Three Holy Lands, does not have an excellent training environment and systematic and effective training methods, and if the talent is not high enough, it will give birth to beast life.

Although the Ninja Cat Clan has large Ninja Cats, they do not have a systematic and effective training method, let alone the superior natural energy training environment of the Three Holy Lands.

The Four Ninja Cats can grow into large psychic beasts. In addition to their good natural energy cultivation talents, they also have some adventures. Each of their growth paths cannot be copied.

Otherwise, with the tens of thousands of ninja cats and the foundation accumulated over thousands of years, there will definitely be more than just four large ninja cats.

In the ninja world, the only ninja clans that can stably cultivate large-scale psychic beasts are the ninja toad clan of Mt. Myoboku and the ninja snake clan of Ryūchidō. Other ninja clans generally can only rely on luck.

Tom was in no mood to continue chatting with Homura Uchiha. He still had other unfinished tasks assigned by Kirito, the new boss.

He decisively stretched out a cat paw, opened the canned cat gracefully, threw the food into his mouth and ate it, then jumped out of the window and quickly disappeared into the night.

"What do you think, old friend?"

After Tom left, Uchiha Homura suddenly spoke.

The next moment, an orange cat holding a pipe came out of the shadows silently. If Kirito were here, he would definitely know at a glance that it was the ninja cat boss Tachibana that he had summoned with his necromancy before. fire.

Orange fire was the size of a normal adult cat at this time, and it looked like just an orange cat with a strange style. It was not threatening, but Uchiha Homura was always prepared.

He is well aware of Tachibana's strength. If it really causes trouble in the Uchiha clan, it will not be a joke.

In fact, he hadn't seen the Ninja Cat boss for a long time. The last time they met was decades ago, but today for the first time, he asked other Ninja Cats to summon him to Konoha, just to see Tom. This ninja cat has become Kirito's exclusive psychic beast.

"This brat who hasn't been home for almost a year has indeed mastered the training method of natural energy. It seems that the boy named Kirito not only masters the magic chakra, but also has mastered a systematic method of cultivating natural energy. method."

Orange Fire looked at the direction Tom left with burning eyes.

Tom, a ninja cat with a mediocre talent in cultivating natural energy, learned to cultivate natural energy so quickly after following Kirito, which shows that Kirito has the ability to let other ninja cats learn to cultivate natural energy. For the ninja cat clan, But it's a big thing.

If the Ninja Cat Clan can obtain the method of cultivating natural energy from Kirito, then the Ninja Cat Clan may be able to establish a fourth psychic beast sanctuary in the Ninja World.

"I'm afraid this method is not that simple, and if you want Kirito to teach you the method of cultivating natural energy to your ninja clan, the price you have to pay must be very high."

Uchiha Homura heard this and poured cold water on him.

As for Kirito's mastery of Senjutsu Chakra, he actually noticed it when Kirito brought the unconscious Chizuru back. At that time, he keenly discovered that there were traces of Senjutsu Chakra on Chizuru.

This magical chakra obviously does not belong to Chizuru, so it is obvious who it belongs to.

Later, he discovered that the cursed seal on Chizuru also showed fluctuations in celestial chakra. Although the celestial chakra born in the cursed seal gave him a very poor and weak feeling, it was indeed chakra and natural energy. The combination of senjutsu chakra.

In this way, he understood the function of the curse seal that Kirito planted on Chizuru.

Not surprisingly, the reason why Tom can cultivate natural energy is probably because Kirito planted a similar curse seal on him.

Therefore, if the Ninja Clan wants to obtain a method of cultivating natural energy, they will have to be planted with a curse seal by Kirito.

"As long as the Ninja Clan can obtain the method of cultivating natural energy, it will be worth paying any price."

Orange Fire heard what Uchiha Homura said and said without hesitation.

Nonsense, the method of systematically cultivating natural energy for people who don't have many natural energy talents and psychic skills is extremely precious. How can it be possible without paying a huge price?

In fact, what he was most worried about was not paying a huge price, but being rejected by Kirito and having no way to seek help.

Moreover, he himself is very greedy and wants to obtain the method of cultivating Senju Chakra from Kirito. If Kirito is willing to teach him the method of cultivating Senju Chakra, as long as he is not allowed to die, he will pay no matter how high the price is. All willing.

"You do have a good sense, yes."

Uchiha Homura saw that Tachibana was so willing to spend money, showed admiration in his eyes, and praised.

As expected of the ninja beasts that the Uchiha clan favors, their desire for power is also unparalleled.

"It would be great if that boy was willing to teach the Uchiha clan the method of cultivating natural energy, but this is probably impossible. At least I can't see the possibility while I'm alive. This boy will definitely only use this method. It’s a taboo to teach it to your true people, and it’s taboo for this kid to let others gain access to the method of cultivating natural energy. Those arrogant guys in the clan are unlikely to accept a curse seal that may bind them for a lifetime.”

Uchiha Homura sighed inwardly when he thought of the method Kirito gave others to cultivate natural energy.

"Boy Yan, you have a good relationship with that boy. Remember to talk to me when the time comes. You have a guest, so I will leave first."

Tachibana smiled slightly when he heard Uchiha Homura's praise.

After saying that, he turned into a ball of white smoke and disappeared.

As soon as Orange Fire left, an Uchiha Hunter immediately appeared in front of Uchiha Homura and said respectfully: "Master Homura, a member of the Senju clan wants to see you."

"What does the old woman want to do this late at night? Bring someone over."

When Uchiha Homura heard this, his expression became slightly serious and he spoke.

Uchiha Kari responded and did it.

Soon, a ninja from the Senju clan came to Uchiha Homura, and then handed the letter written by Momoka to Uchiha Homura with both hands, and said: "Chief Homura, this is the life of my family and I will pass it on to you. letter."

Uchiha Homura took the letter and opened it on the spot to read.

The content of this letter is exactly about the protest letters received from other major ninja villages today by the third generation, as well as some bad things that Momo thinks may happen next, and Momo clearly requested the Uchiha clan in the letter Stay impartial about the bad things that could happen.

After a few seconds, his face became extremely solemn, and he thought in surprise: "Sure enough, a storm is coming. It seems that this kid has made other ninja villages afraid, and for this reason, they have reached the point of being shameless. .”

"Please go back and tell your clan leader that the Uchiha clan will maintain a fair attitude."

Regarding Momo's request, Uchiha Homura did not hesitate and expressed his attitude to the ninjas of the Senju clan in front of him on the spot.

Because of Chizuru, the Uchiha clan is now in the same boat as Kirito, and Kirito has shown amazing strength, so the Uchiha clan has no reason not to follow.

As for whether Konoha may be besieged by other ninja villages at the same time because of Kirito?

That's bullshit.

The Uchiha clan has never been afraid of challenges.

"If that happens, then the shackles of Konoha on the Uchiha clan will have to be lifted. This crisis is both a challenge and an opportunity for the Uchiha clan. As long as the bet wins, the Uchiha clan will inevitably You can rise from the ashes in Konoha."

Uchiha Homura looked at the ninjas of the Senju clan leaving and thought to himself, with a look of anticipation on his face.

The Uchiha clan is not afraid of fighting now, but they are afraid of not having the chance to fight.

He now had a hunch that it was not long before the Uchiha clan would break free from their shackles.

As the most powerful ninja clan in Konoha, the Uchiha clan will naturally step forward when Konoha's life and death are at stake. In this way, the Uchiha clan can wash away the blood of the enemy and the person who committed the crime against Konoha. sins.

After the ninjas of the Senju clan left, Uchiha Homura called one of his subordinates and said, "Let Uchiha Haku, Uchiha lead people, and Uchiha spirits come over."

Uchiha Shiro, Uchiha Dai, and Uchiha Rei are the three deputy ministers of the Uchiha Guards. They are clearly the leaders of the martial faction, the moderate faction, and the neutral faction in the Uchiha clan.

In order to cooperate with Mooka's request to support Mooka, he decided to give full play to the power of the Uchiha Guards in Konoha.

On the other side, in the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Kazuma also received an autographed letter from Momo from a ninja from the Senju clan.

Unlike Uchiha Homura, he did not give the ninjas of the Senju clan an answer on the spot, but immediately summoned the elders of the clan to hold an emergency temporary meeting.

That night, many famous ninja clans in Konoha received Momoka's handwritten letters. Some of these ninja clans immediately responded in the affirmative, but many, like the Hyuga clan, did not respond immediately.

The Hokage Building, in the Hokage's office.

Sandai was looking at the letter from Mooka in his hand with a serious face at this time. He himself was the patriarch of the Sarutobi clan, so naturally he also received a personal letter from Mooka.

After reading Mooka's handwritten letter, he immediately made the same choice as Uchiha Homura.

He had to make this choice. In his opinion, Taohua's letter was not a request, but it was clearly a threat. As the Hokage, he had no possibility of refusing.

And if he personally agreed to Mooka's request, it would be equivalent to the Sarutobi clan agreeing to Mooka's request.

In this way, if someone from the Sarutobi clan dares to spread rumors that are unfavorable to Kirito in the future, and it is confirmed, then he, the Hokage, will not be able to step down.

To be honest, he himself had no intention of spreading rumors to slander Kirito, but he could not guarantee that his people would not do this.

Momoka's move this time is undoubtedly a slap on him and the Sarutobi clan behind him. She is making it clear that she will keep a close eye on the Sarutobi clan.

"What a great trick, Taohua, but do you think that I'm too despicable? Have I become so despicable in your mind now?"

The third generation used a fire escape ninjutsu to burn the letter in his hand, and sighed with a dejected expression.

After a while, the slump on Sandai's face quickly disappeared and turned cold, with a captivating cold light flashing in his eyes.
