Naruto God Tree Arrives

In the mental network, after listening to the reasons stated by Nezuki, Konoha's senior management admitted that his analysis was very correct intellectually, but they were completely unable to bear it emotionally.

Because the rope tree has always been a perfect and radiant image in the eyes of everyone.However, the argument he just made was entirely from the perspective of interests. The civilians of various countries were weighed on the scales like chips. It was so frighteningly rational that it completely overturned everyone's impression of him. .

A thick chill rose in the hearts of all Konoha senior officials, as if falling into an ice cave, because they suddenly found that they could not see the rope tree clearly. Which one was the real one, the brilliance before and the ruthlessness just now? He needs to know that Naoki will soon become Hokage. If everything before was just a disguise, it would be really scary.

Most of the people were silently thinking about their own thoughts and did not dare to reveal anything. At this time, only Tsunade, as the eldest sister, reprimanded: "How could your thoughts become so dangerous, Naoki? Is it influenced by that guy Orochimaru?" Those civilians are all living beings of flesh and blood. How can you use them as bargaining chips in war? Are you worthy of the title of Skywalker?"

"Noseki-kun," Kushina said with a worried tone: "Those just now must not be your real thoughts, right? I know that Nezuki-kun's character is as warm as the sun, and he will never have such heartless thoughts."

Shengshu has long understood the emotions of everyone in the spiritual network through the secret of perception. In this direct connection, his perception is more acute and can even capture the other party's deep thinking.He only knew that because his disguise was so perfect in the past, what he just said had a great impact on the top management of Konoha.

He believed that even if his true nature was exposed, everyone would not betray him. Tsunade, Kushina, the three girls Orochimaru, and even White Fang would not abandon him. However, Jiraiya, Kato Dan, and Namikaze Minato were not strong enough and had moral obsessiveness. It is very likely that he will stand on his own opposite side.Now he must say something to cover up the problem, otherwise the personal structure he runs will collapse immediately, and even cause a big blow to the political faction he established.

Naoshu did not change his tone. That would be regarded as a sign of guilty conscience and more likely to arouse suspicion. He said firmly: "No, I have not been influenced by anyone. What I just said is what I have always thought."

The high-level officials of Konoha who were present heard the determination of the rope tree, and their whole hearts sank, as if they were falling into an abyss. They felt that the final judgment was coming.

Shengshu ignored everyone's reactions and continued: "As for my character and attitude towards others, I have actually stated my position a long time ago.

I remember when I first led a team to suppress bandits, I used the top ten torture methods of ANBU to extract confessions for the first time. Someone asked me if this was too cruel, and I answered him in one sentence. Some of you were at that time. I was there, I don’t know if you still remember.”

"I was very impressed by being there at that time." Jiraiya said thoughtfully: "I remember you said this: We should treat our companions as warm as spring, and treat our enemies as cruel as winter."

"That's exactly right. I didn't expect your memory to be so good, Jiraiya. It's been almost 20 years.

I still remember it so clearly." Shengshu joked in a gentle tone: "So this sentence is my attitude towards people and things. It was the same more than ten years ago, and it is still the same now. It has never changed.

Protecting civilians in other countries is because they will become our own people. Naturally, I want to be as warm as spring.

But for the civilians of the Kingdom of Water who cannot be conquered, we must be as cruel as the harsh winter."

The high-level officials of Konoha present vaguely understood what the rope tree meant, but some people still felt that something was wrong. For example, Feng Nan Minato, who had been silent all this time, instinctively retorted: "But"

"But those civilians are not our enemies. Is that what you want to say, nephew Minato?" Naoki interrupted the other party with a solemn tone: "On the contrary, if we cannot conquer, the civilians of the Kingdom of Water are us." Their biggest enemies will support Kirigakure’s guerrilla tactics, provide them with a steady stream of resources and reserve forces, and firmly drag our main force to the mainland of the Water Country.

And Kirigakure's ninja army will wreak havoc in our territory, massacre our people and burn down my city. They will not show any mercy because they have done the above things countless times in the Kingdom of Wind.

In this life-and-death situation, should we choose to protect the civilians of the Water Kingdom or the people of our own country?"

All the senior Konoha officials present were speechless. The answer was already obvious.

"But we do not have to continue to attack the Kingdom of Water. We can completely withdraw back to the country, defend the mainland of the Kingdom of Fire, and even annihilate all Kirigakure's ninja army." The thoughtful Kato Dan said calmly. He felt that the rope tree was secretly changing. concept.

"Then what?" Naoki asked in an indifferent tone: "A war will cost lives. Facing the desperate attack of 18 Kiri ninja, we can't lose nothing. How will Sunagakure, Iwagakure and even Kumogakure react?" Watch us swallow all the fruits of victory, or take the opportunity to counterattack

Even if we wipe out the main force of the Mist Ninjas, what should we do next? Should we use prisoners in exchange for useless bargaining chips so that they can continue to attack our southern coast in the future, or should we attack the mainland of the Kingdom of Water again?

In this way, how much casualties and consumption will Konoha have to pay to completely end this war?

On the contrary, if I follow my plan and directly attack the center of the Kingdom of Water, not to mention fully occupying the Kingdom of Water, I can at least break the order here, and at least prevent them from ever posing a threat to Konoha.After the fall of the homeland, the Mist Ninja who are alone outside will definitely have their morale and combat effectiveness greatly reduced. We can easily deal with them.

If you can win at the lowest cost, why sacrifice your own ninjas for the enemy's civilians?"

This time Kato Danya was completely speechless. Naoki had calculated everything clearly. This plan was indeed in the best interest of Konoha. As a senior executive, he could not sacrifice Konoha's ninjas to take care of the enemy country. of civilians.

All the high-level officials of Konoha present now fully understand the idea of ​​the rope tree, but it is still difficult to change their inherent ideas in a short period of time, and they still feel awkward about the rope tree's extraordinary rationality.
