Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san

A month later.

An alliance composed of several small countries, including the Country of Grass, the Country of Rain, and the Country of Sky, plus a Country of Wind, officially declared war on Konoha.

With an explosion, the war officially began.

The news of a large-scale war soon spread to the Bear Country, which was far away from the main battlefield and close to the coast.

In the restaurant, some people who had returned from other countries shared what they said and heard with the locals.

In a remote corner somewhere, Qing Zhi, who was eating, became upset when he heard these words. He even choked on his food, his eyes turned white, and he almost lost his breath.

Qingzhi clenched his fists and beat his chest hard, then poured a sip of tea and swallowed it, and then he barely recovered.

What's going on, how come the fighting started.

According to the original line, fighting to death at this time is just a small fight, how could such a large-scale war suddenly break out.

Kakuzu, who was sitting opposite him, heard that the war was about to start. His expression remained unchanged. He raised his eyelids and watched Aokiji leave his seat, go to another table and chatter for a while before returning, and then he moved his mouth slightly: "Are you done asking?"

Qingzhi returned to his original seat, looking shocked: "That's a war, aren't you surprised?

"In our day, it was just commonplace."

Kakuzu was born in the Warring States Period, and war was nothing but commonplace to him.

When I heard the news, I was only slightly surprised. Anyway, he no longer works for the village, so he naturally acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

"In your era?"

Qingzhi seemed to have grasped some key words, his eyes wide open, pretending to be surprised.

Kakuzu:......

There was a curious look in Qingzhi's eyes: "Speaking of which, so far, I don't even know your age. How old are you?"

He naturally knew Kakuzu's age very well, and he asked just to test Kakuzu's trust in him.

When Kakuzu confesses to him, it means that the relationship between the two has become substantially closer.

Kakuzu realized that he had let something slip, perhaps because they had been together for a long time, but this time he did not refuse to answer directly like before, and gave a relatively ambiguous answer:

"I once fought against your First Hokage."

This answer makes his age higher or lower.

A trace of imperceptible joy flashed across Qingzhi's eyes, and he pretended to be disbelieving: "It's true, you actually fought against that person."

"Believe it or not." Kakuzu's voice was cold.

"It can't be the kind of thing where you're throwing a shuriken from a distance of eight hundred miles."

Hearing Qing Zhi's teasing, Jiaodu became obviously angry, and his voice became loud and angry: "If you want to die, I can help you."

Qing Zhi admitted his cowardice and smiled: "It's just a joke, don't get excited."

After that, he quickly changed the topic: "Well, why do you want to fight him?"

"I received an order from the village..." Kakuzu paused deliberately in the middle of speaking and sneered: "Kill him."

As he spoke, he looked at Qing Pheasant with a meaningful look, wanting to see his reaction.

I saw that the other party was buried in his head, silent, and lost in thought for a while, but it's no wonder that a normal Konoha ninja would react more or less when he heard this.

After a long time, Qing Pheasant hesitated and spoke: "Um, can I ask you a question?"

"You think I'm lying?"

Qingzhi shook his head and said, "I wonder if you, the higher-ups in your village, were a fool?"

Kakuzu's slightly closed eyes showed a confused expression that seemed to say "What do you mean?"

"Isn't this obvious? How could a ninja with the level of the First Hokage be assassinated? If he could really be assassinated, it would be your turn for the higher-ups to issue orders." Aoji looked at Kakuzu's face The masked face, with only its eyes exposed, smiled and said, "You think so. Brother Kakuzu."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and changed the topic, his words were a bit ridiculing: "Grandpa Kakuzu..."

Kakuzu's face turned dark immediately. This is actually true. In terms of age, he has indeed reached this age, but he is still a little uncomfortable being called that suddenly, especially when the person in front of him always pretends to be an adult. Uchiha brat.

Before he got angry, Qingzhi said something else: "Of course, this kind of thing can make sense if we can analyze it from another angle."

"Tell me about it, if you dissatisfy me." Kakuzu suppressed his surprise and raised his eyes to threaten: "I will report you and receive the reward."

Qing Pheasant disagreed and expressed his opinion: "It's either stupid or bad."

This word was refreshing to Kakudu.

"In my opinion, if your former high-level executives were not out of their minds, there is a high probability that they wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Brother Jiaodu."

Kakuzu was startled. He didn't understand why those high-level officials wanted to eliminate him when he had been diligent and hard-working all those years.

"I don't think I have offended them in any way." Kakuzu's voice was low.

Qingzhi looked at him straightly: "Really not? Why don't you think about it again."

Kakuzu's voice was firm: "No."

Qing Pheasant stopped beating around the bush and said, "That's not right. Your biggest problem is that you are too powerful."

A strange look penetrated Kakuzu's eyes.

Aoki rubbed his chin with his fingers and speculated: "Brother Kakuzu is probably not a ninja from our five major countries."

Kakuzu responded with silence.

Qing Zhi said cheerfully: "If you don't say anything, then I'll take it as your acquiescence."

"Humph."

"In this world, ninjas with Kage-level strength are very rare, especially ninjas from small countries. They may only appear if there is smoke coming from the ancestral graves."

Qing Pheasant's flattering skills come naturally, moisturizing things silently, and Jiaodu is still very useful.

"If you proceed step by step, with your strength, Big Brother Jiaodu, you will definitely make a lot of contributions to the village, become the hero of the village, and be elected as the village chief by everyone."

Kakuzu nodded, not denying it.

He was really well-known in the village back then, and he was very popular for a while. If he followed the steps, it was not impossible to become the village chief.

Kakuzu asked: "But what does this have to do with the higher-ups wanting to kill me?"

"Of course it does matter. If you become the village chief, whose interests in the village will be damaged by this?"

Kakuzu was suddenly enlightened and couldn't help but cursed: "It's stupid, just for such a ridiculous reason. I have no idea about the village chief at all."

Qingzhi shook his head: "The important point is not whether you want to do it or not, but whether you have the ability."

Kakuzu snorted, showing disdain.

Without him, the strength of Takigakure Village was greatly reduced, and it has become a third-rate ninja village.

When he was still in the village, although the strength of Takigakure Village was not as strong as that of the five major ninja villages, it was still closely behind.
