Discussion: How the Nine-Tails Lead the Naruto

Hashirama looked at Asuma in the distance and was stunned for a moment.

However, Madara showed an interested look: "Instead of leaving while we were talking, you took the initiative to interrupt us and asked whether you were confident or stupid."

"Probably stupid." Asma smiled as always, taking out a pack of cigarettes from her arms as she spoke, "I never felt smart. I used to be too self-righteous and thought I was too smart and genius, so I looked down on the old man. In the end, it paid the price.”

"So since then, I have discovered that I am a fool myself, an arrogant fool who has no capital but lives in his own world."

"Crack-" the lighter sounded, and the flame rose slightly, lighting the cigarette in Asma's mouth.

Asuma took a strong breath, then exhaled it. As the smoke blurred his vision, he released the hand covering his chest: "Compared to all the previous Hokage-sama, I probably don't count as anything, except that I can still handle it." There seems to be little left in terms of strength.”

Indeed, compared to Hashirama and Madara, this kind of strength is not powerful, but it can be used. Asuma is an elite jounin no matter what.

If the opponents were not the two of them, maybe Asuma wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"The heart that protects the village." This sentence was said by Hashirama. He looked at Asuma seriously, and his tone was indescribably serious. "It has nothing to do with strength. Because you want to protect, you will become stronger. , even if the strength is weak, it can still exert stronger power."

"You are not an idiot, you are a ninja worthy of respect." Hashirama said this very seriously.

Even if his strength was not as good as his, even if he faced someone like him and Madara, he didn't run away, didn't retreat, and didn't even change his expression. Asuma was a respectable ninja, not an idiot.

"Is it approved by the First Lord... I'm a little happy." Asuma smiled and blew out a smoke ring, and put his hands in a fighting posture again, "Well, actually among the jounin of Konoha, I am not an outstanding person. That guy Kakashi is much more powerful than me."

"Whether it's brains, strength, combat awareness, etc., he is above me. It is precisely because of this that we let him solve the most difficult enemy, because we believe in him." Asma smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Only he can do it."

If he were to choose the Sixth Hokage, Asuma would undoubtedly vote for Kakashi, and he believed that most people in Konoha had the same idea as him.

"Believe in your companions and support your friends..." Hashirama whispered softly, "I am really happy that Konoha has a ninja like you."

"So, I can't escape." Asuma held the weapon tightly in his hand, "Even if I die, I will stop you. Even if I pay for my life, I must prevent you from interfering with Kakashi's battle."

"In this battle, this is all I can do." Asma smiled, very ordinary. His uncle-like face was not handsome, but looked very vicissitudes of life, but this vicissitudes of life His smile made it impossible to ignore the two peerless ninjas in front of him.

Hashirama was speechless for a moment, just looking at the 'Konoha ninja' in front of him in a daze, his heart raging for a while and he could not calm down.

It felt like something was about to burst out, but in the end it just turned into a tear streaming down from the corner of my eye.

He clenched his fists, and the magic power was already driving him to attack and even kill the opponent, but Hashirama was desperately resisting at this moment: "An excellent ninja like you must not be killed by me!"

"Hmph~" Madara just snorted coldly, with a strange tone, but he didn't know what it meant.

"Madara!" Hashirama suddenly shouted, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and he stared at Madara closely, "If you want to take action, I will stop you even if you risk your soul being annihilated!"

Madara frowned, seeming a little unhappy that Hashirama was talking to him like this.

But before he could speak, he heard Asuma's call from the distance: "Sama Shodaime!"

Hashirama turned around to look, but he still saw the bright smiling face. Asuma held the weapon tightly in his hand: "The battle is not over yet."

"You..." Hashirama was at a loss for words again, looking at him cautiously with shock on his face.

Asuma took the last puff of cigarette, spit out the cigarette butt, and said with a smile: "You have passed away. The new Konoha has grown under the leadership of the new Hokage. Lord Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, is a very good Hokage, so …You can rest assured.”

My body feels so light...

"I may die, but Konoha will not. Even without you, we will continue to move toward the future."

I have never had such an experience...

"Please trust us, I will stop you, and Kakashi will win."

There is nothing to be afraid of...

"Because I'm not alone."

Huge chakra aura burst out from Asuma's body, forming a huge storm and moving around.

Hashirama looked at him blankly, his eyes seemed to be filled with endless emotion.

Konoha... even without itself, is still growing, even without Tobirama, it is still making progress. It may have experienced a downturn, or it may have fallen into darkness, but what is displayed in front of Hashirama at this moment is the future.

A future full of hope and happiness.

"This kind of Konoha... isn't it the village of our dreams... Madara." Hashirama cried with emotion, tears in the corners of his eyes.

Madara closed his eyes, and his tone was no longer cold: "That's just the hope of a village that is stubborn. In this huge ninja world, just a village cannot achieve the peace we expect."

"It will always come! The peace that the entire ninja world hopes for! It will definitely come!" Hashirama shouted at Madara.

"Don't be so naive! Hashirama!" Madara also shouted out. It was the first time he had lost his composure in front of outsiders. "Peace cannot be achieved by relying on those sad and beautiful dreams! The village has been wrong from the beginning! Ren! The world will not stop war because of peace in one village!"

Susanoo began to expand, his armor gradually peeled off, and his huge body stood up from the ground.

Madara looked at Asma in the distance, the kaleidoscope in his eyes emitting blood-colored light: "I admit your side as a ninja, and I also admit your side as my enemy, but I do not admit your narrow ideas and unrealistic dreams... …Nothing can be done.”

A huge demon rises from the ground. Even if it is not the complete Susanoo, the fourth stage Susanoo still has power that is difficult for ordinary ninjas to match.

Madara turned to Hashirama with an extremely serious look on his face: "Hashirama, don't stop me. Killing him as an 'enemy' will be the greatest recognition for him!"

Hashirama's body that was about to move suddenly stopped, his expression full of struggle.

Even if he wanted to...this body couldn't stop Madara at this moment.

Damn ninjutsu!

In the huge demon body, Madara did not cross his arms, but stood in it as seriously as facing Hashirama. He looked at Asuma's burst of chakra, and his tone was full of seriousness: "Junior, tell me what you want. Name, I’ll remember it.”

The chakra turned into a storm and blew around, but compared to the huge demon, it seemed as light as a breeze.

Asuma didn't care, he just put away his smile and faced Madara Uchiha with an expression on his face: "My name is Asuma Sarutobi, the third generation Hokage, son of Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

"Sarutobi Asuma..." Madara took a deep breath and looked deeply, "I remember."
