Chapter 9 Use a sledgehammer to gently knock open your heart

Hashirama didn't criticize Tobirama too harshly. He also knew that Tobirama was doing it for Konoha's good, and he only put the interests of his own village first.

"Sir, according to Tobirama, wouldn't the disadvantages of dividing the tailed beasts be more beneficial to Konoha?"

On the one hand, the division of tailed beasts allowed Konoha to gain considerable profits and advantages; on the other hand, the potential danger of tailed beast riots could greatly weaken other ninja villages.

Then how could Konoha lose?

Isn’t this a safe win?

At least from Tobirama's point of view, even if he was plotted against by the Kumogakure beast this time, Konoha would still win in the future.

Monkeys and the others just need to stay steady without doing anything.

The comprehensive strength of [Konoha Village] will sooner or later be far superior to the other four villages.

Even Tobirama looked at Xia You curiously, hoping to find out where his plan failed from the words of this 'immortal' who was suspected of being able to travel through time and space and predict the future.

Xia You smiled slightly and asked Tobirama again.

"Nidaime, if it were you, what would you do after discovering the shortcomings?"

"Of course we have to find ways to solve the disadvantages."

"What will the other villages do after they discover that the tailed beasts are very strong but the jinchūriki are unstable and prone to riots?"

"Find a way to improve the sealing technique, find a way to enhance the adaptability of the jinchuriki, until you can completely control the tailed beast..."

"But this is not something that can be done easily. It will take at least several decades of running-in and development..."

Tobirama's judgment was correct. The villages had indeed worked hard for decades before they managed to cultivate Kirabi, Goju Yagura, and Uzumaki Naruto. Even the last one has nothing to do with the cultivation of the village. It was born out of pure breeding, plus Yunyin's guidance, and the old man's cheating.

"Then you leave Konoha with a Kyuubi who won't lose control at all, and a soft persimmon that can be easily suppressed even if it loses control. Do you think the village is too comfortable? Or do you think the enemy is too stupid and will just stand still?"

Xia You's question suddenly woke Tobirama up!

An environment that is too comfortable will only make people lazy, leaving future generations with no experience in dealing with tailed beast riots.

Especially when other companies are making continuous progress at the cost of huge casualties.

As long as you stay where you are, you are regressing, not to mention that you are still regressing slowly!

Actually.

The tailed beast riot did bring a lot of casualties and trouble to the other four villages.

[Sunagakure Village] Needless to say, a one-tailed Shukaku drove several generations of Kazekage to madness and death.

[Kirigakure Village] is similar. Several times the Jinchūriki went berserk and killed a large number of Kirigakure elites.

[Iwakage Village] There is an old turtle called Onoki. Although he can suppress the tailed beasts, he also forced several jinchūriki to leave the village.

Not to mention [Cloud Hidden Village], without the overwhelming strength of the Third Raikage, the Eight-Tails would have destroyed the village countless times.

But during these decades.

The other villages harvested a lot of wool from the tailed beasts.

Sunagakure Village developed [Magnetic Release] and [Fake Sleep Technique] by researching Ichibi, etc...

Kirigakure developed the [Bubble Seal] and cultivated a perfect Jinchūriki.

Cloud Hidden Village also developed the [Iron Armor Seal] and cultivated the perfect Jinchuuriki.

Iwakage Village was the worst, but all the jinchūriki were very loyal to the village, made numerous meritorious deeds, and also gradually perfected their own sealing techniques.

Compare it.

Only [Konoha Hidden Village] has the strongest Kyuubi, but it makes no progress and does not produce any value. It relies entirely on the Uzumaki clan's capital to suppress the tailed beasts.

Waiting for the Uzumaki clan to be accidentally wiped out.

No one in Konoha could teach Naruto how to control tailed beasts...

It was only through Naruto's own struggle that he could truly harness the power of the Kyuubi.

Before that.

Kyuubi has never brought any help to Konoha, but has harmed Konoha time and time again.

Everyone is making progress, and they are all taking advantage of the tailed beast.

Is it unreasonable to beat you after I surpass you?

If Konoha had given Uncle Snake one or two tailed beasts to study as much as he wanted earlier, he would probably be able to drive an army of mechanical tailed beasts to sweep across the dirty soil army in the fourth battle.

So what kind of ninja alliance is needed?

"Sir, Tobirama, what do you mean?" Hashirama touched his head, completely unable to understand the meaning of technological progress.

Tobirama looked at Xia You and said with sincere gratitude:

"Thank you sir for reminding me. I was careless. I will pay attention to this."

Tobirama secretly decided that after returning to the village, he must change his research and use of Kyuubi.

We can't just wait for the other villages to slowly surpass Konoha.

Although the capital he and his eldest brother left to the village was substantial, it still couldn't stop future generations from making progress and standing still!

Of course, Tobirama wasn't too worried.

[Uzumaki Clan] + [Uchiha Clan] are his most abundant confidence. As long as these two families are around, it will be difficult for any tailed beast to overthrow Konoha.

Xia You guessed what Tobirama was thinking and didn't bother to persuade him.

Later, I will take Tobirama from World No. 2 to see the Konoha of the future.

Seeing that the Uzumaki clan and the Uchiha clan were all wiped out by Konoha F4, he would know that he was worried.

…

"By the way, sir, what is the optimal solution you mentioned before?"

Tobirama asked proactively.

Putting aside Xiayou's mysterious ability, his precise analysis of the "Tailed Beast Deterrent System" made Tobirama agree with him, as if he had met a close friend.

Naturally, I hope to know more about Xia You's opinions.

"It's very simple. There is no need to divide the tailed beasts, just unify the ninja world and wipe out all ninja villages and countries!"

Xia Youtu's true intentions were exposed.

The reason why we analyzed so many shortcomings of the [Tailed Beast Deterrence System] before was just to encourage them to give up their ideals and devote themselves to the great cause of [unifying the ninja world].

Xia You certainly didn't expect to convince Hashirama in just a dozen minutes, but he could just throw out a seed and then slowly induce him later.

It's impossible to force Hashirama and others to unify the ninja world right away.

Not to mention that he hasn't mastered the power of the [Reincarnation Eye] yet, even if he has mastered it, he dare not guarantee that he can defeat Hashirama.

"This... is not appropriate."

"It took a lot of effort to end the Warring States chaos. If a war of unification is launched, how many people will die!"

Hashirama immediately rejected it. He really didn't want to see more wars and more sacrifices...

"Brother is right. And no one can guarantee that even after unification, there will be no division again."

Tobirama also added quickly, but a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

From the bottom of his heart, he has wanted to do this for a long time!

Unfortunately, his brother has always disallowed it.

Once the eldest brother left, it would be difficult for him to conquer the entire ninja world by himself.

Originally, he had some concerns about [unifying the ninja world], and he was really afraid of division after unification. But now after experiencing the [First Ninja World War], Tobirama is also convinced that the previous ninja village peace system is simply a waste of paper! It's all bullshit!

Those beasts in other villages can never understand and tolerate each other with love like the eldest brother...

He gradually abandoned this path in his heart.

Xia You glanced at Tobirama: Yes, that's the look!

I know you are ambitious!

Good job, I like it!

Sure enough, the concept of [unifying the ninja world] is still the easiest to convince this second-generation Hokage!

…

"Don't be excited. I just made a suggestion, not forcing you to unify the ninja world."

"If you can think of a more suitable way, of course I don't mind you practicing it, but you must be mentally prepared for the price."

Hashirama and Tobirama were silent.

After witnessing and experiencing the [First Ninja World War], both of them felt an unspeakable bitterness in their hearts.

Even people with strong beliefs will inevitably fall into self-doubt and verification after witnessing the facts.

The key is that they really can't think of any better way to replace the [Tailed Beast Deterrence System].

"Senju Hashirama, how about it? Can you answer the previous question now?"

"Ah?"

[Do you want to protect the village? Or your relatives? ]

"This..."

Hashirama looked at Tobirama and hesitated again.

He founded Konoha Village to protect Tobirama, Madara, and the people he cherished.

But now, the future self of this world has killed his best friend Madara for the village.

Isn't this the biggest betrayal?

Has the future self really changed?

Going against the original intention?

What exactly do you want to protect?

Looking at the slightly confused Hashirama, Xia You was also quite satisfied.

The will of the [God of Ninja] is not so easy to change.

First, swing the sledgehammer to gently break the steel seal of his thoughts, and then encourage him to change everything and unify the ninja world; it is undoubtedly the safest method.

"No conclusion yet? Then there is no rush to answer."

"Let me ask you two more questions."

[Senju Hashirama, what exactly is the will of fire that you want to inherit? ]

[Senju Tobirama, is it really right for you to choose to stay behind with your life? ]

Hashirama: "The will of fire?"

Tobirama: "Ah?"

Is it wrong to stay behind with your life?

This is unreasonable, isn't it?

"No hurry, let's go to the future to see the story of the next generation of Hokage. It's not too late for you to answer later."
