Chapter 60 On Protracted War
The next day.
Hashirama and Tobirama rushed back to [Konoha Village] without stopping.
After returning to the village, he entered the Hokage Building.
Sure enough, I saw Madara and Xiayou waiting in the conference room.
"Hello, sir."
"Uchiha Madara!"
"Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"
Tobirama rushed into the room, pointed at Madara and roared loudly.
It was so uncomfortable to ask Tobirama to wipe and patch the butt of the annoying Uchiha in front of a bunch of representatives from various countries!
If my eldest brother wasn't still here.
He almost wanted to flip the table and quit!
"Is it big?"
Madara glanced at Tobirama, his expression and tone were as if destroying the village was just for fun and not worth mentioning at all.
"you……"
Tobirama's seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he was about to awaken to the limit of the Boiling Blood.
"What? You want to dance?"
Madara wasn't worried at all that Tobirama would dare to attack him.
If he really takes action, then he will have more reason to fix him properly.
He liked to see Tobirama look extremely unhappy, but look helpless.
Think about it now.
There is still some fun in staying in Konoha.
"Tobirama, calm down!"
"Getting angry now won't help. We should calm down and have a good chat!"
Hashirama stopped Tobirama and dissuaded him rather steadily.
Tobirama's eyes widened and he looked at Hashirama.
hiss……
Brother, why have you become so ‘reasonable’ at this time?
You are so partial to Madara, is he your brother, or am I your brother?
Tobirama sat down and said nothing.
Hashirama then looked at Madara and said in a not too harsh tone:
"Madara, you really went too far this time. How could you suddenly kill [Iwagakure Village]?"
"You should at least talk to us."
"Oh, definitely next time!"
Ban said casually, and took a big gulp of Erguotou.
The spicy air surged down his throat, making his blood boil unconsciously.
This thing is powerful enough!
It’s much more powerful than sake or something!
Sure enough, a real man should drink this hard stuff!
"Um?"
"What kind of wine is this? Does it smell so fishy?"
Hashirama put his head out curiously and couldn't help but get closer and asked.
The trace of anger he felt just now has long since dissipated into the sky.
See this.
Tobirama couldn't hold it in any longer: "Brother, what are you doing? Is it time to discuss wine now?"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, we will talk about this later."
Hashirama rubbed his head in embarrassment, retracted his salivating gaze, and continued to say seriously:
"Madara, can you tell me why you took action against Iwagakure?"
Ban raised his eyebrows and said casually:
"The two guys who came to visit Konoha that day wanted to challenge me desperately, so I gave them a chance in Iwagakure. It was because they themselves were too useless and couldn't hold up my Susan."
Ban is still very loyal. Since it is a deal, he will never betray Xia You, the instigator.
But even if he confesses, it won't make much difference to Xia You.
Anyway, Iwagakure Village will be destroyed sooner or later.
Tobirama's lips twitched, he just wanted to challenge you, but you destroyed his entire village?
Also, looking at the entire ninja world, how many people can withstand your [Susanoh]?
But the matter has come to this, and there is no use in condemning Madara anymore.
"Madara, this is still too much!"
"Tobirama told me that your insistence on destroying Iwagakure will have a great impact on our village."
"It even caused the other four major countries and many small countries to attack us at the same time..."
Hashirama said slightly worriedly.
On the way back, Tobirama kept telling him about the serious consequences of Madara's move.
"It doesn't matter."
"The four countries joining forces are just a group of ants, let them do it."
Madara responded extremely arrogantly.
After this battle, Madara looked down upon other countries even more.
I thought other ninja villages would have a few brushes, but I didn't expect that the dignified first-generation Tsuchikage was only a little stronger than gravel.
Such a group of ants, even if they join forces, are not even half as good as themselves.
What's there to fear?
"snort!"
"He is indeed a brainless guy."
"Do you think it is very simple to destroy a big country?"
"You can destroy Iwagakure Village by yourself, but can you destroy the entire [Earth Kingdom] by yourself?"
"Do you know how many people there are in the entire [Earth Kingdom]? How many towns are there? And where are they distributed?"
"Tens of millions of people!"
"Even if you kill a city with one sword, how long will it take to kill it? How long will it take to fight?"
"And they are not fools. When they find they can't beat you, they will run away and avoid you, which will breed more hatred!"
"Unless you kill them all, this war will never stop..."
Madara's face darkened, but he didn't think about this.
In other words, his strategies and strategies were only aimed at those above the gravel, and he did not pay attention to most ordinary people who were not as good as the gravel.
But in fact.
Too much saliva can drown someone.
Too much grit and annoying enough.
"Then kill! Kill them until they are frightened, kill them all!"
"I have plenty of time and patience!"
Tobirama exploded again and shouted:
"Even if you can kill everyone in [Earth Kingdom], what happens next?"
"What do the other four major countries think of you? What do many small countries think of you?"
"Because you threaten their status and their lives!"
"They will regard you as the most terrifying demon and will try every means to kill you at all costs."
"They will even unite all of them."
"By then, can you exterminate all the countries and all the people in the entire ninja world?"
Ban was slightly startled: "..."
He didn't understand the thoughts of those ants.
But he knew the power of fear, so those ants might indeed unite and fight against him by any means.
And he alone could not kill everyone in the world.
"Take a step back, even if you are invincible in the world, no one can kill you."
"What about the Uchiha clan? What about Konoha?"
"Can you protect them for a lifetime?"
Tobirama's question was sharp and very practical.
He knew it very well.
The military force of [Hashirama + Madara] is indeed invincible in the world.
But invincibility does not mean omnipotence!
Even if the 'Susanoo Daibutsu' is not dispatched at the same time, but one is sent to fight and the other stays in Konoha.
It is highly likely that the four major countries can be defeated while protecting Konoha.
But, in the end, it was just a defeat.
It was impossible to destroy the other four countries!
Because ninjas are human beings after all, and human beings have to eat, participate in social cooperation, and participate in resource exchange.
What about the entire Konoha Village?
Even if Hashirama who stayed behind could protect Konoha.
But he is not a god, and he cannot wave his hand to conjure up all the materials Konoha needs.
Konoha still needs to eat, right? It still needs to transport various daily necessities, right? It can't be isolated from the world and self-sufficient, right?
These all need big countries to produce, transport, and trade.
In fact.
Several big countries use similar methods.
Let ninjas gradually withdraw from production, brainwash them into war weapons, and then use materials and economic constraints to achieve long-term control.
Now it has begun to take shape.
It will reach its peak when the third and fourth generations come, and it can even easily decide the replacement of the position of Hokage.
Therefore.
If [Konoha Village] becomes hostile to the world, and even hostile to [the Land of Fire],
Then all the material and economic channels leading to Konoha will be cut off.
This alone is enough to cause all kinds of contradictions in the newly established [Konoha Village], and even make it shaky.
Unless Konoha sends out extremely strong ninjas to escort every time.
But no matter how strong Madara is, it is impossible for him to escort every route and every time he transports materials, right?
Don't underestimate all the ninjas in the world. Once they are sure that they can't defeat Madara head-on.
They will inevitably hide, disperse, use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to consume Konoha, and continue to harass Konoha tirelessly.
One year, two years, five years, ten years...
Until Konoha collapses completely!
Madara can hold back, can the other Uchiha clan members hold on?
Hashirama can hold back, can the Senju clan and the entire Konoha hold on?
This is what Tobirama is most worried about and concerned about!
What he is afraid of is never that his elder brother can't beat the enemy.
But he is worried that the enemies will unite to play dirty tricks on Konoha, fight consumption, and fight a protracted war.
The newly established Konoha does not have enough accumulation and cohesion to launch a long-term war against the entire ninja world!
