Chapter 123 Angry Jiraiya, responses from other hidden villages

"Qing Shui, this can't be considered tactful..."

Tsunade had a dull face. She thought Qing Shui would understand what she meant and write a diplomatic statement that was strong enough to prevent the hidden villages from seeing Konoha's lies. However, her overall attitude was that she still did not want to start a war.

But Qing Shui's response was like tearing his skin apart, and he directly opened fire on every hidden village's pain points and small thoughts...

Sunagakure has no money, Kumogakure is greedy, Iwagakure is militaristic, Kirigakure is in civil strife, and Hanzo has all his whims!

Tsunade seemed to see the furious expressions of other shadows from the hidden village...

"Tsunade-sensei, there's nothing wrong..."

Qing Shui signaled Tsunade to be calm, shook his head and said:

"The war will not change because of a few words, and with the psychological quality and city government of the Kage in the hidden villages, they will not become angry and do irrational things just because of a few words."

"On the contrary, they saw Konoha's uncharacteristic attitude. After the short-term anger subsided, they will definitely start to think about where Konoha's confidence lies and why it showed an attitude it has never had before?"

"Compared to the words of foreign power and internal violence, it is more extreme, but it can delay the village longer to prepare for war."

Tsunade frowned. She felt that Qing Shui's thinking was very out of touch, but surprisingly it made sense.

But even so, Tsunade still held her forehead and sighed: "Qing Shui, there may be something wrong with me at the root. After you got there, you became so arbitrary in your actions..."

Qing Shui smiled: "Tsunade-teacher, Uncle Hiruzen told me that the darkness at my roots can temper my heart as a ninja. If I want to reach further heights, this is an indispensable part."

"Since I want to carry more things and protect the people around me, this is what I should experience."

"A gentle attitude is good for those around you, not for your enemies..."

"Right, Tsunade-sensei?"

Tsunade pursed her lips, looked at Qing Shui who exuded confidence, sighed softly, and nodded slowly.

She had originally thought about protecting Qing Shui as a teacher, at least until he grew up...

But Qing Shui's strength and mind were improving too fast, to a level that Tsunade had never seen before.

Sometimes, the apprentice's talent is so good that the master feels helpless.

"Qing Shui, what should we do if a war breaks out?"

Tsunade's eyes were deep: "The gap in strength is inevitable. Since the first ninja war, Konoha has maintained peace and happiness for too long, ignoring the secret development of other hidden villages, and the gap has widened."

"As a village where Ninja Shura and Ninja God once appeared, there has always been a saying in the Ninja world. If Madara Uchiha and my grandfather had not fought internally, then the other four hidden villages would have been destroyed long ago..."

"The fear of Konoha from other hidden villages will never dissipate if they don't have enough strength."

Tsunade looked a little heavy. Although Konoha's ancestor Kuo Guo brought a rich foundation to the village, it also had side effects.

Just like what she said, the ninja world is grateful that Senju Hashirama is the god of the ninja world.

In the ninja world, almost everyone thinks similarly to Uchiha Madara. Since there is already a crushing gap in strength, just let the enemy obey. No one will talk about peace...

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mental illness?

Even if they want to talk about peace, it will only be after they have unified and become one's own family, and then discuss it behind closed doors.

Only Senju Hashirama, despite the crushing gap in combat power, still inexplicably chose the negotiation method, and even distributed nine tailed beasts to each village, hoping to use the power of the tailed beasts to maintain peace in each village. force deterrence.

I really don’t know whether I look down on the talents of other ninjas and feel that the other ninjas must not be able to deal with tailed beasts, or whether my ideas are too simple...

The most critical thing is that the civil war between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara caused the two gods of Konoha to disappear together, and the unreachable force value dropped and returned to the level of mortals.

From the perspective of other hidden villages, only Konoha has Uchiha and Senju, and a new Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara may appear in the future.

But if a new ninja god appears in Konoha, will his mind still be like that of Senju Hashirama?

Most likely impossible!

Although all hidden villages respect Senju Hashirama's strength, almost all ninjas are not interested in Senju Hashirama's idea of ​​mutual understanding and peace.

Senju Hashirama said this theory at the First Generation Five Kage Conference. The reason why no one laughed out loud was just because he was so good at fighting.

Therefore, if the rest of the hidden villages do not want to become vassals of Konoha, then they must deal with Konoha, the only one with a chance of the ninja god appearing, first. After that, everyone will be on the same level, so everyone can rely on their own abilities.

In short, kill those who may be cheating first!

Even if Konoha is not rich in resources and located in a sacred land, the oppression brought by the ancestors and the current abjection will make this village a target of fire in the ninja world...

This is a legacy issue from history.

"Fear will never dissipate, Tsunade-sensei, but people can be hurt..."

The two people looked at each other, and Qing Shui understood what she was thinking: "Although the combined forces of other hidden villages are far greater than Konoha, in fact we don't have that many enemies to fight against."

Tsunade frowned in confusion, listening to Qing Shui's answer.

"For a corps, how much will the battle loss rate affect its ability to fight?"

Qing Shui said slowly, showing an incomprehensible smile: "If you are a samurai from the Warring States Period, your battle loss rate will reach 30% and you will collapse. Ordinary ninjas are probably in the same state."

"Even if the elite troops of the Five Hidden Villages suffer more than fifty battle losses, they will almost lose their will to fight. Deaths that exceed their endurance limit will cause most people to lose their belief in fighting and become defeated. "

Tsunade nodded thoughtfully.

She was like this back then.

The death of relatives and friends will certainly bring anger to people, but if the companions around them die one after another, the indescribable feeling of suffocation will swallow up almost everyone's heart, and only a few ninjas can survive it.

Not all ninjas in the ninja world are Uchiha. Strong emotional stimulation will lead to blackening, but it will most likely lead to mental collapse.

"Assuming that a ninja regiment has three thousand people, even if enough elites are mobilized, the number of jounin will not exceed two hundred. The whole body is still composed of chuunin and genin."

"Jounin is not easy to kill. After all, he has a mature ninjutsu system, but chunin and genin can be killed easily as long as they have appropriate ninjutsu and appropriate tactics!"

Tsunade stared blankly at Qing Shui, with a gentle smile and beautiful lips, but what she said were extremely cold words:

"Tsunade-sensei, if the enemy ninjas attack Konoha, I will not capture their strong ones and kill them. Instead, I will dig out their roots and kill those genin and chunin who have not yet grown up. As the main offensive target, wipe them out!"

"As long as the battle damage reaches a sufficient amount, even the Jonin and Kage will not be able to withstand the internal pressure and can only call a truce."

Tsunade took a deep breath, and she seemed to see the shadow of Senju Tobirama in Qing Shui's eyes at this moment.

Although she had never seen Senju Tobirama on the battlefield, Uzumaki Mito told her stories——

Once on the battlefield, her second grandfather, who was usually gentle to her, became a demon feared by countless people. He would use all kinds of tricks to break the hearts of the enemies and deprive them of their lives.

In this way, Senju Tobirama survived the first ninja war with Konoha.

At that time, not only Konoha was in dire straits, but the other four hidden villages were also on the verge of collapse.

Among the Second Generation Five Kages, except for the Second Generation Kazekage who survived, the rest of the Thunder, Fire, Water, and Earth Shadows all died in that war.

Tsunade looked at Qing Shui with a determined expression and slowly let out a long breath.

"Qing Shui, if you do this, you will face a lot of controversy..."

Tsunade shook her head: "That's what the second grandfather did back then, but this is inseparable from the fact that he is the elder brother's younger brother and the prestige accumulated during the Warring States Period. The controversy in the village and the condemnation of the ninja world have nothing to do with it. Stopped."

Tsunade felt a little sad. For Qing Shui to do that for the village, many people might be afraid of him, which would lead to misunderstandings.

Moreover, killing so many people would be a difficult test for Qing Shui's mind.

Qing Shui smiled gently: "As long as it is to protect the village, I will only think——

"My heart and conduct are as clear as a clear mirror, and everything I do is righteous."

"As long as Tsunade-sensei and the others support me and the people around me will not leave me, I will have no fear."

Tsunade and Qing Shui looked at each other. Seeing the determination in those dark eyes, their heartbeat suddenly slowed down a beat.

Tsunade tilted her head: "Stop talking nonsense, Qing Shui, although you are a genius, you are still just a brat!"

"Tell me, is there anything I can do for you?"

Tsunade folded her arms and hummed: "Your shoulders can't bear anything. Since you have this kind of awareness, of course I, the teacher, cannot be left behind. After all, I am the Hokage's assistant, and you are just the leader of the root." !”

Qing Shui nodded good-naturedly: "Yes, Tsunade-sensei is the Hokage's assistant."

Facing Tsunade's request for help, Qing Shui pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"If possible, Tsunade-sensei, you can try to develop a toxin that can be as poisonous as possible within the cost range where all Konoha ninja's kunai and shuriken can quench the poison."

"Of course, you are a medical ninja. I know you have your persistence in your heart. Don't force yourself..."

Tsunade frowned, she really didn't want to develop poison.

In her opinion, medical ninjutsu is used to heal people, not to kill.

But in fact, there is a precedent in the ninja world. Chiyo from Sunagakure Village is very good at detoxifying and can deal with the violent poisonous mist of Sansho Hanzo, but he is also an expert at making poisons.

Tsunade looked at Qing Shui, her eyes gradually becoming firmer.

Qing Shui has decided to bear the darkness for the sake of the village.

So how could she, as a teacher, be so pretentious about caring about trivial details that she could stand by Qing Shui's side and support him all the time?

Since Qing Shui made a request to her, Tsunade plans to fulfill it!

"Don't worry, Qing Shui, leave it to me..."

Tsunade said with some emotion: "It is very difficult to save people with medicine, but when it comes to killing people, it is much easier than saving people."

Qing Shui shook his head, stared at the confusion deep in Tsunade's eyes, and held her hand:

"Tsunade-sensei, every time your poison takes away an enemy, the companions in the village will face less danger. This is the best antidote for Konoha's medical war poison."

Tsunade felt the warmth of Qing Shui's palm, and her eyes drifted unconsciously: "Kid, you don't need to teach me this!"

Senju Tobirama looked at this scene with a smile.

After keeping up with Qing Shui's rhythm, Senju Tobirama, the teacher of the Dark Ninja World, turned into a strategist and offered many strategies to Qing Shui, including but not limited to self-destruction, poisoning, attacking daimyo, and creating civil strife.

In the days without the restrictions of Uzumaki Mito and Senju Hashirama, Qing Shui, who only praised him, seemed to have inspired many unfulfilled regrets of Senju Tobirama, and wanted to put all his forbidden techniques and tactics on the battlefield. Go up.

Qing Shui, on the other hand, was like a sponge, absorbing Qian Shu Feijian's strategies without any fuss, cheering for him loudly and praising him for his not-so-bright imagination from time to time. He was an extremely good compliment.

This made Senju Tobirama very happy. What bottom line should we follow when dealing with the enemy?

Just do it!

So much so that Senju Tobirama and Qing Shui were already looking forward to the war.

Senju Tobirama wants to see Qing Shui destroy the entire ninja world and bring Konoha back to the top of the entire ninja world...

Qing Shui wanted to confront the other hidden villages. After staying in Konoha for so long, it was time to go see the outside world.

There are many strong men in the ninja world. The elimination of blood successors, the limitations of various blood successors, and the tailed beasts and jinchūriki of each village are all excellent targets for Qing Shui.

If there is no war, how can he help Qing Shui bring them all together?

War is always the best catalyst for strength, especially for ninjas...

And on the other side of the ninja world.

Uchiha Madara recited the response written by Qing Shui, his expression becoming more and more proud.

This is right!

Qingguo is indeed a cub of the Uchiha clan, and this arrogant attitude is exactly the same as his back then!

When Qing Shui was suspected of being possessed by Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara was not furious. In his opinion, this was just Senju Tobirama being unable to hold back and being incompetently furious because of Konoha's ugly face.

But the thought in Qing Shui's eyes could not escape Uchiha Madara's eyes.

As long as he starts to think about it, Qing Shui will definitely realize the hopelessness of this ninja world.

Especially among the roots, Qing Shui's ability to conquer the original root members satisfied Uchiha Madara even more. Not to mention that he looked like Izuna, Uchiha Madara felt that Qing Shui looked more and more like him!

"It seems that I need to help Qing Shui to control the doves in other hidden villages and let the war completely burn..."

Uchiha Madara stood up slowly. In order to let Qing Shui experience that there is no peace in this world during the next third ninja war, he decided to fill a handful of firewood with his own hands.

#

A few days later.

Konoha.

Hokage Building.

"That Uchiha brat is too extreme, old man!"

Jiraiya waved Qing Shui's response to other hidden villages in his hand and said with a frown: "This will only provoke a war. Konoha's military strength does not have much advantage, so why do we still need to provoke?"

"Old man, I know you are very optimistic about Qing Shui, but you shouldn't put him in the position of leader. You also asked the Hokage to assist Tsunade. Why do you decide the two future Hokages so arbitrarily?"

Jiraiya was very dissatisfied.

In his opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen did something unfair. He promoted Tsunade to assist the Hokage and sent Qing Shui to the position of root leader. It would be almost difficult for Minato to compete with Qing Shui in the future.

Jiraiya originally had a good impression of Qing Shui, but Qing Shui's extremely tough attitude towards the war reminded him of the previous root leader Shimura Danzo.

No, this is countless times tougher than Shimura Danzo...

If Qing Shui becomes Hokage, in the heart of Jiraiya, who believes in love and peace and the son of prophecy to bring the future, it will only plunge Konoha into endless war.

Only the calm and wise Minato, in Jiraiya's opinion, is the best candidate to become Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his cigarette rod and took a deep breath, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

He originally threw this hot potato to Qing Shui, but he didn't expect it to be like this!

Qing Shui did not go through him, the Third Hokage, or any of the Hokage Assistant Tsunade, but directly responded to all the hidden villages that criticized Konoha in the name of the root.

Thinking of Senju Tobirama's attitude towards war and criticizing his weakness, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already guessed who Qing Shui was influenced by.

So, there is nothing we can do about it.

When Senju Tobirama does things, it is not his turn as the Third Hokage to comment...

"Jiraiya, what Qing Shui did was my signal."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly, but his face was very firm, and he silently took another blame for Senju Tobirama:

"Weakness cannot buy peace. The words are just a little more fierce, which also shows Konoha's attitude."

Jiraiya's eyes widened, as if he was meeting his teacher for the first time.

"Old man, do you like Qing Shui that much? This response is definitely not what you meant!"

Jiraiya shook his head helplessly: "Have you forgotten the will of the first generation? Only mutual understanding between people can achieve true peace."

"Although I will fight for Konoha, this definitely does not mean that I support the war!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and waved his hands rather irritably: "Okay, okay, go find your son of prophecy!"

Jiraiya's face froze, didn't even the teacher believe the prediction of the Great Toad Sage?

And at this time.

The ANBU took a stack of information and knocked on the door.

"Lord Hokage, here is the negotiation letter sent from the other hidden villages. Please read it."

Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other, a trace of nervousness flashing in their eyes.

War may be coming!

The second update is late but here!

good night everybody!
