Chapter 46 A strange pair looks at Konoha together

Qing Shui looked at the extremely serious Sarutobi Asuma and sighed. He did not answer his question directly, but asked instead:

"Asuma-kun, what is the real confusion in your heart?"

Qing Shui sat down under a rock and motioned for Asma to sit next to him, looking at the bustling Konoha Village not far away.

"Your father is the third-generation Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village, and the heir designated by the second-generation Hokage. Growing up next to him, you must have been immersed in the will of fire under your ears and eyes. Why do you ask such a question? Woolen cloth?"

Asma slowly sat down next to Qing Shui. The prosperity he saw in his eyes was so nihilistic from his perspective.

"Qing Shui-kun, it is precisely because I am the son of the Third Hokage that I have doubts about the will of fire..."

Asuma smiled bitterly, pointed to the Uchiha clan emblem on the corner of Qing Shui's clothes, and said mockingly:

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Qing Shui-kun. If you were not an Uchiha clan member, even if you are so proficient in the will of fire, I would not dare to come to you."

"If I ask other people about the doubts I just mentioned, then my father will know everything I said the next day, and then he will either reprimand me severely or beat me roughly. "

Qing Shui laughed: "You are an honest person, Asma."

"That's right. The Uchiha clan is now so embarrassed in Konoha. Even if I might be able to win your father's favor, I still can't take the risk to talk to him about this matter. After all, this is considered provocation. The relationship between you and your son.”

Asuma nodded awkwardly.

Qing Shui patted his shoulder, stared at him and said, "It has nothing to do with Uchiha or Konoha..."

"Asuma, I promise you, no one else will know what you said today. I swear by the honor of Uchiha."

Hearing this, Asma suddenly became serious: "Thank you, Qing Shui-kun."

Swearing on the honor of the family, this is a very reliable guarantee for a thousand-year-old ninja like Uchiha.

But after Senju Tobirama heard it, he snorted coldly.

If another Uchiha said this, he would barely believe it...

But if the person who swears the oath is Qing Shui, Qing Shui Tojian feels that the credibility of this is almost the same as if he swears by the glory of the Thousand Hands clan. In short, it can be said that the bottom line is very flexible.

"Hey, did I accidentally scold myself..." Qianju Tobirama was stunned and noticed a blind spot.

"Qing Shui-kun, it is precisely because my father is the Hokage and my brother is the ANBU minister that I can see and hear many things in this village that others cannot see..."

Asma took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it skillfully, took a deep breath, and said with misty eyes: "Do you know the root?"

"It was a detachment of the ANBU, in the hands of the Hokage's assistant Shimura Danzo. I once had several friends, some of whom were civilians and some of whom were ninjas, but they were all selected by the Roots."

Qing Shui nodded: "Isn't it a good thing to be selected by ANBU?"

Sarutobi Asuma exhaled a puff of smoke:

"A good thing? They have disappeared into Konoha since then. I went to ask their elders, but their family members said that they were dead. There was hatred and unwillingness in their eyes."

"I don't think that my friends want to join the so-called roots. Their dream was to become Hokage..."

Qing Shui was speechless and nodded slowly.

This is indeed Shimura Danzo's style, kidnapping the geniuses he values ​​and brainwashing them into tools when they are young.

Not only civilian ninjas, but even the ninja clan could not resist Shimura Danzo's request. Even the Yamazaka clan, which was closely attached to Sarutobi Hiruzen, had to assist and contribute their clan's genius to the Hokage.

Hearing Shimura Danzo's name, Senju Tobirama's heart moved, his face gradually darkened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Not only that, Qing Shui-kun, as an Uchiha, you should have heard of Wood Release, right?"

It seemed that because of Qing Shui's serious oath, Asma's words became bolder:

"Orochimaru, Danzo Shimura and my father once carried out human experiments for the sake of Konoha, in order to reproduce the wood escape of the first generation."

"In the beginning, this project was official and formal. Many members of the Senju clan voluntarily signed up and actively cooperated with this research. There were even many civilian ninjas who also voluntarily joined."

Qing Shui waved his hand and said slowly:

"Asuma, there is nothing wrong with human experimentation. The village and your father are also trying to strengthen the village. It does not violate the will of fire. After all, it is voluntary."

Asuma shook his head slowly:

"Later, this experiment was stopped. I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that the success rate was too low and many ninjas were killed or injured."

Qing Shui nodded clearly: "You may not get anything in return for your efforts, Asma."

"The power of the first Hokage is so tempting. Any Hokage will want to recreate Konoha's past glory, but he just failed. This doesn't mean anything."

Asuma sighed heavily: "Qing Shui-kun, why don't I understand what you are saying?"

"However, when this experiment was stopped, a small number of the ninjas with the Senju bloodline that I remembered in the past disappeared inexplicably into Konoha. Where did they go?"

"Did they go to the root, or did they continue to sacrifice themselves in this secret experiment? I want to know, did the ninjas who disappeared later do it voluntarily?"

"The blackmail at the root and the secret conduct of human experiments are just the tip of the iceberg."

"Are these all in line with the will of fire?"

Qing Shui narrowed his eyes, patted Asma's shoulder, and said slowly: "So, what really makes you confused is..."

"On weekdays, the will of fire you studied in the ninja school is so bright and righteous, without a trace of dirt or blemishes."

"And because of your family and origin, you have seen the darkness buried deep in the village. This conflicts with the will of fire that most Konoha ninjas have learned, and it makes you unable to understand what the will of fire is. "

Asma nodded vigorously, Qing Shui's summary spoke to his heart.

If you have never seen the light, you can endure the darkness.

Asuma, on the other hand, has seen darkness and has sincere doubts about the light in front of her.

As a young man with independent thinking, Asma has his own ideals, but his origin has brought him a fragmented information gap, making him feel extremely confused and painful.

"Asma, give me one..." Qing Shui did not answer Asma's question, but asked him for a cigarette.

Asuma nodded silently, lit a fire for Qing Shui, and lit another one for himself.

The son of the Hokage and the genius of the Uchiha.

This strange pair, sitting on the top of the mountain, looked at the busy traffic of Konoha and smoked in silence.

At this moment, there seems to be some kind of bond formed...
