I asked you to be Hokage and you burned Konoha?

Although the so-called alliance is actually a joke, and everyone knows that it can be torn apart at any time, but...

There is nothing the Sunagakure Village can do to argue with this. After all, even if Konoha wants to tear up the alliance, Sunagakure Village will be left to deal with it last. If a fight really breaks out, Sunagakure Village will just resort to backstabbing. If you don't give me any benefits, why should I go to the front line and be cannon fodder?

As for Kirigakure Village...

In the beginning, Kirigakure Village had no intention of getting involved. With little information, they did not even know that Mudun appeared in Konoha again. It was only after the envoy from Kirigakure Village explained the current situation in the ninja world that Kirigakure Village finally Agree to participate.

However, due to its geographical location, Kirigakure Village has no basis for competing for the leader of the coalition forces. They are simply blending in. This is the only good news.

So now everyone is still wrangling, and no result has been reached.

But it's all nonsense, but in fact everyone knows that if the ninja world does not unite, Konoha will really have the final say. Everyone knows very well, so although the leader of the alliance has not yet been decided, the ninjas in each village have already Assembled, as long as Konoha dares to act rashly, they will start the Fourth Ninja War.

Yunyin Village is a little relieved about this, at least they are no longer fighting alone, but Ai is not satisfied with this. What he wants is not to defend, but to take the initiative to attack and kill Seti, the biggest threat. With the strength of the Kumo ninja, Kumo Hidden Village can take its place and become the new number one village in the ninja world.

Compared with other villages except Konoha, Kumogakure is the strongest. Although Onoki is strong, Onoki is old after all, and Iwagakure Village doesn't even have an heir. How can it compete with them Kumo Ninja?

But...it won't work if it goes on like this.

The prerequisite for Cloud Hidden Village to become the largest village in the ninja world is to destroy Konoha and kill Seti. Judging from the current age and strength of the red-haired brat, the longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for them. If the village cannot defeat Konoha and can only choose to retreat, then...

That red-haired kid is not the First Hokage. If that kid can have the strength of the First Hokage, he will definitely not give up.

After thinking about it, Ai made a decision and said in a deep voice: "Let someone tell that old ghost that we can give up the authority of the alliance leader, but the position of chief of staff of the alliance must be given to me. This is the bottom line!"

"If he agrees, then the alliance will be established. With my support, the Fourth Kazekage is not qualified to fight with him. If Sunagakure Village does not agree to the alliance, then Sunagakure Village will be destroyed first! I want to see what Konoha's side is. I won’t help them because of the covenant!”

"Then...what if you still don't agree?"

"If the old guy still disagrees with me after I've reached this point, then I won't play with them anymore!"

Ai Nu laughed and said: "I surrender to Konoha and let them play by themselves. Why does the Third Hokage keep bowing his head? In the final analysis, isn't it because he is afraid that I will copy him? If I surrender, Konoha can't kill those bullies!"

"Ah this..."

Everyone was speechless. If the other villages lost, their Kumo ninja might not be any better. Without others to restrain them, they really couldn't beat Konoha. By then...

"What are you afraid of?!"

Seeing the different expressions on everyone's face, Ai stood up and sneered: "If it really comes to that point, you just surrender. I will challenge that brat to a one-on-one fight. If I lose, I will die. If I win, I will commit suicide. There is no Yunyin Village without Raikage." , will Konoha still care?"

"Lord Raikage, that's not what we meant..."

"It doesn't matter whether this is the idea or not. Anyway, if things get to that point, I will die no matter what. Do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he no longer cared about these guys and strode outside.

Shadow has never just represented authority, shadow is strength, status, and at the same time, it is also a symbol of responsibility!

If he doesn't die, even if Yunyin Village is attacked, Yunyin Village will still be there if he is alive! As long as he is willing, countless ninjas in the Land of Thunder will still obey his orders!

Only after he died could Konoha let go of the ninjas in Cloud Hidden Village.

So no matter what, he had to die.

Because he is a shadow.

......

As time goes by day by day, the streets of Konoha are also decorated with joy. Compared with the last celebration, this time it is more grand. Even the coldness of the snow is washed away by this joy, and it seems that there is no sign of it. It was so cold up there.

"It doesn't seem to be any different..."

Teak, who went out with Hua Ling to prepare New Year's goods, looked at the groups of children running around, the joy on the faces of the villagers and the relief in their brows, and she murmured softly.

"What did you say?"

Hua Ling on the side didn't hear clearly and tilted her head slightly in confusion.

Shaking his head slightly, the teak man did not answer. After a moment of silence, he spoke: "You said... we are all the same, why is there a war?"

"Well...probably because of profit."

Hua Ling was stunned, gently twirling the messy hair at the temples with her slender fingers, and said softly: "The poor hope that life can be better, and the rich hope that they can be richer, but wealth cannot be obtained out of thin air, and some people have power. So they began to oppress those they could oppress without restraint."

Seeing the teak man looking at her, she continued: "I saw...when I was on a mission, a poor man who was bullied by a local wealthy family turned around and robbed a woman who had lost her husband from her home after a hard day's work. A little food that is easy to come by, and that food is reserved for the children, but... people don't seem to have the so-called compassion."

"In other words, the world does not allow them to have mercy."

"Taverns, casinos, ronin, wandering ninjas, rebellious ninjas... there are too many people who dare not point the sword in their hands at the stronger ones. Whether it is to vent or want to get compensation, they will The sword in your hand is pointed at the weak, these...Omura ninjas like you probably won't understand."

Speaking softly, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Hua Ling's mouth.

That's not all she's talking about, there's more darkness.

The smaller the place, the higher the probability of this kind of thing happening, and Omura Ninja generally will not experience this, because...

No one dares.

And... Ninja Omura may even be the top of this ecological chain.

The Ninja World War spread to the entire Ninja World, and the Omura War usually prevents war from appearing on his own land.

Noble?

Very noble.

The protected citizens are naturally grateful, but... what about the small country that was forced to become a battlefield?

Seizing property, seizing food, and even seizing women in the name of capturing enemy village ninjas, have these... ever happened?

The answer is obvious. No one cares about the life and death of people who have nothing to do with them. The more heroic you are in your own country, the more cruel your external methods will be.

Isn’t that what is called his hero and my enemy?

Seeing the striking sarcasm on that face, the Yukou man fell silent.

"You said...if someone could create a world without war, would all of this still happen?"

"A world without war?"

Hua Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at Yuzuki with a strange expression.

What the hell is this woman talking about?

But she saw the seriousness on the other person's face. The other person seemed to be seriously considering this joke that seemed absurd just thinking about it.

"Let's not talk about who can do this. Even if we can do it, peace can be achieved in a short time, but what about a long time?"

After thinking for a while, she replied: "I heard that decades ago, the ninja world was at peace for a period of time because of a big shot in Konoha... It seemed that the First Hokage was the first Hokage. But what was the result? You also saw the result. A war broke out in the ninja world after that master's death, and Konoha has been under siege because of it. Do you think anyone is stupid enough to imitate that master now?"

"With that kind of experience, even if someone can really suppress the ninja world like that person, that person will never think about the peace of the ninja world like that person, so I advise you not to have such illusions. .”

Although the other party has been staring at her during this period, he did not bully her. Apart from his daily cold face, he can basically be regarded as a good person, so after thinking about it, she persuaded her: "Hope that can be touched is hope. , if it is a hope that cannot be reached in a lifetime...it is just a burden, and such a burden will make those who have hope suffer for a lifetime."

With his eyebrows furrowed, the teak man looked at the people around him and said nothing.

Because...is it a lesson from the failure of Ninja God?

Suddenly something dawned on her.

Her brows relaxed, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she whispered softly: "Thank you."

"No, compared to words of thanks, I would rather you stop staring at me so closely. It always makes me feel as scary as a mouse being stared at by a cat..."

"I am a cat, and I am also saving you."

"Thank you so much, you are such a nice person!"

Hua Ling rolled her eyes as she held two large packages of New Year's goods on her shoulders.
