Me and countless me

Although Li Ke was very happy that the second generation was willing to teach him ninjutsu, he actually had some objections to what the second generation said to him.

That is, the second generation has been avoiding one thing.

That's why Senju Hashirama didn't use force to unify the ninja world in one fell swoop. All his views started from the correct thinking that Senju Hashirama didn't unify the ninja world.

So there are still a lot of loopholes.

"But I can probably think of the reason..."

Sitting in the barbecue restaurant, Li Ke couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he watched Hong grilling meat for him.

Although Yuhi Hong is not strong enough and her family background is not good, she is indeed a good candidate as a wife.

Because Hong, like him, yearns for a stable life.

However, he still couldn't help but think about men.

"The second generation probably didn't say anything about it because he was his eldest brother, the first generation of the village. And... from their point of view, what the first generation did was already very advanced. It is impossible for the ninjas to do that. There is a unified cognition and consciousness, so it is not too strange to be in this distorted situation..."

Li Ke combined the words of the second generation with the history of Professor Konoha and the current Will of Fire. From a local perspective, Senju Hashirama's choice is actually very normal.

Because of longevity.

In the days of the ninja family, the average lifespan of a ninja was less than thirty. Children at the age of five or six were already considered adults. Forty years old was already the end of life for a ninja.

Senju Hashirama was only forty-two years old when he died, but he already had a granddaughter, Tsunade. Even Tsunade was five or six years old, and she could go to the battlefield during the Warring States Period. Senju Tobirama, who was younger than him, also began to suffer a serious decline in combat effectiveness and condition due to long-term use of forbidden techniques.

Although the effects of Senju Hashirama's cells are incredible, the problem is that Senju Hashirama doesn't know how long he can live. Therefore, for Senju Hashirama, a person who grew up in the era of the ninja family, it is very important to establish Konoha and stabilize Konoha. After Ye Ye, he might feel that his lifespan is almost over.

Because like Senju Tobirama, in order to survive the chaotic ninja war, it was impossible for him not to practice the life-extending forbidden technique!

Even more than Senju Tobirama!

So when he noticed that people around him were slowly aging and dying in their forties, he probably thought that it was time to hand over responsibilities to people in the future, and then take care of himself and wait for death. of age.

At this time, although the ninja world has reached a relative consensus and has a basis for unification, for Senju Hashirama, he probably no longer wants to be busy and kill the enemy and the enemy's children. He may want to He teased his grandson calmly, and then died happily surrounded by his children.

He felt that he had struggled all his life and it was time to rest.

Moreover, there is obviously no successor to his power. Even if he rules the world by force, the world will still be divided into what it is now because a consensus has not been reached.

On the contrary, it is better to maintain the status quo, maintain advantages, and wait for future development.

It's outrageous, isn't it, but Li Ke feels that his guess is probably correct.

Because people are troubled by their own perceptions, and Senju Hashirama, all his perceptions come from the era of the ninja clan, when the average life expectancy was less than thirty years old, and children would go to war at the age of five or six.

If you tell him that you can live until you are seventy or eighty as long as you want to live, he will probably not believe it.

Moreover, they have never experienced a great unification, and there has never been such a thing in the history of the ninja world.

There was a Zhou Dynasty before Qin Shihuang! There is no bullshit in the ninja world!

and……

The territory of the Fire Country increased rapidly after the emergence of Konoha Village.

"If these inferences are true, then it is time to jump out and say that we have done wrong before. We should let Uchiha Madara, who rules the ninja world and takes the right path, be the one who destroys the future he created and hoped for..."

So Uchiha Madara was absolutely right when he said Senju Hashirama betrayed him.

"But it doesn't matter what the person involved thinks. It's even possible that Senju Hashirama's education level is less than that of a university. Now that the five countries have turned into a cesspool of chaos, there's no point in thinking about this."

For him, who was in the cesspool, it was no longer important how he got there.

How to get out of the cesspool is what matters.

Li Ke thought like this, lowered his head and ate the meat that Yuri Hong brought, and when he looked up, he saw Asma with a constipated expression on his face.

Eh? Asma?

Did I meet him today? !

"Asuma? When did you come? Why didn't I notice you?"

Looking at Asma with a resentful look on his face, Li Ke was stunned for a moment, because he didn't remember seeing Asma at all today!

And, when did they arrive at the barbecue restaurant? !

"I……"

Asuma opened his mouth. He really wanted to say that he came with Hong, and he wanted to scold Li Ke as a bastard who forgets his friends after seeing sex, but when he thought about it, if Hong chose him, then he would probably do the same. , so I could only speak helplessly.

"We're going to pick you up too...right, Anko."

He said and looked at Anko, who was walking with them. Because Yuhi Hong gave all the roasted meat to Li Ke, she had no choice but to show off the meatballs.

Li Ke, on the other hand, looked at Hong Dou in astonishment, who was sitting huddled together with Hong, making Asuma look like he was being disliked, and was even more astonished.

"Anko, when did you come?!"

Mitarashi Anko, who was still a cute little loli, couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then helplessly put down the meatball in her mouth.

"I'll also pick you up from the hospital, okay... For this reason, I even asked Mr. Orochimaru for leave."

Hongdou was really speechless. Li Ke had been thinking about it since she was discharged from the hospital. That is to say, her best friend really liked this one. The more Li Ke indulged in thinking, the more excited she became. Otherwise, she would have advised Hong to find someone who couldn't. The dazed ninja has a boyfriend!

But Li Ke has always been like this and likes to think, so she didn't pay much attention and asked.

"You were in a daze for so long today. Are you thinking about something?"

Thinking about the first generation Senju Hashirama who established the Konoha village where we live is a fool. The third generation will become a paper framer in the future because the fourth generation died for love. Only the second generation of Hokage in Konoha looks like a human being.

Li Ke really wanted to say this, because no matter how he analyzed it or what perspective he adopted, in the eyes of a person who had been influenced by the idea of ​​​​unification, there would only be such a conclusion in the end.

Senju Hashirama is an uneducated idiot, Senju Tobirama is a normal leader.

As for Sarutobi...

He is either stupid or bad, but based on Li Ke's observations of Asma and his personal experience over the years, he can be sure.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a bad person, he is even a rare good person.

"Hey, you're in a daze again... What are you thinking about? You're so obsessed."

Hongdou quickly interrupted Li Ke's thinking and complained.

"I'm thinking about why we ninjas can't use ninjutsu to farm and make tools. And with the physical strength of ninjas, ninjas can actually complete the heavy work for ordinary people very easily. Compared with becoming a ninja, The energy required and the dangers faced..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Anko.

"Who likes farming? And if you have planted the land, and those ninjas who trained in ninjutsu while you were farming come to steal your food, how can you possibly defeat them? What will you do then? Those Isn’t that what the craftsmen are like? They get robbed all day long and even ask us to protect them.”

Mitarai Anko was even more speechless towards Li Ke. Don't you know such a simple reason?

"And as long as you can become a chuunin or a jounin, you can decide the time and danger of the mission yourself. And even a genin can eat a barbecue as long as they go on a mission for a week. A chunin even only needs one The task is not as hard as you said?"

As she spoke, she took out the meatballs from the plate and started chewing them.

Li Ke smiled. He knew that Hongdou actually didn't understand what he meant. His meaning was very simple, that is, to establish a complete system. Those with combat ability would learn ninjutsu and become professional soldiers, while those without combat talent would specialize in Ninjutsu. Learn to produce.

But at this time, the voice of Qianju Tobirang rang.

"Doing this requires a lot of money and time, as well as a lot of experiments and manpower. Before completing these things, we will have serious enemies with the daimyo, and other ninja villages will also attack... So your idea is very good, But it’s not realistic.”

"What if you use illusion to control the daimyo and those officials?"

"A daimyo suffered such a loss a long time ago, so it's not like the daimyo didn't have his own ninjas. They were enough in the era of the ninja clan. And it's not like other ninja villages don't have spies and the like lurking around, and neither does Konoha Village. There are no people who are friendly with the Daimyo, and the three Ino, Deer and Butterfly families are actually. As for this era... I don’t know the specific situation, but there should be other reasons.”

Senju Tobirama paused for a moment before continuing to speak.

"Furthermore, Uzushio Village is the type you mentioned. It holds the rights of ninjas and daimyo. Their number of ninjas at the beginning is not even much worse than that of Konoha Village... I don't know what the monkey is thinking, but The destruction of Uzumaki Village is definitely not just the work of the Kingdom of Water."

"It's so dark."

"The world of ninjas is like this, but what makes me happy is that children in the new world can grow up to the age of twelve before going to the battlefield. The efforts of me and my eldest brother have not been in vain."

Twelve years old, adult, talented.

No matter how Li Ke looked at these three words, he felt they were evil.

"Isn't that good enough?"

Sensing Li Ke's emotions, Qian Shu Fei Jian was a little confused.

A twelve-year-old ninja should be preparing to have a child.

Li Ke: “…………”

The case was solved and the shinobi world was not unified. It was really Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama who thought 'this is enough'.

Damn...

Li Ke thought of his hellish experience and couldn't help but want to say something, but the second generation had said so, what else could he say?

What should he do if he suddenly understands Uchiha Madara?

But at this moment, Asma spoke.

"Carbon cleaning, what you think is not as simple as Hongdou said, right? But, have you ever thought about one thing?"

Asuma's eyes flashed with seriousness.

"Should the jade that really should be protected by countless people be those who protect more civilians and more innocent people?"

Li Ke's scalp went numb after hearing this. Asuma has always been a good person. He knew that it was normal to feel pity for the civilians outside Konoha Village, but these words were undoubtedly a naked statement that the Daimyo was inferior to the Hokage. Say, are you someone who should be protected more?

"Asuma, we are ninjas. We are ninjas who were born and raised in Konoha Village. Our powerful power is also to protect our families and our partners...Why do you think so?"

Li Ke's words made Asma frown. He glanced at Li Ke's right eye and his right arm wrapped in a bandage.

"But we couldn't protect anything in the end, right? Even now, countless Konohagakure ninjas and innocent civilians are still dying on the battlefield of Kirigakure, and the daimyo is no longer willing to give us support. What are we going to do? can……"

Li Ke couldn't listen anymore and immediately covered Asma's mouth. The reason was very simple.

The daimyo's unwillingness to support this matter is considered super secret no matter how you look at it! !

It shouldn't have been said at all!

They are still fighting bloody battles with Kirigakure. If word of the disruption in logistics spreads, something big will happen!

Even the Senju Tobirama in his body couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it...why does this little monkey say everything? Fortunately, no one is around to hear it!"

Li Ke immediately looked around, and after confirming that what the second generation said was true, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Yuhi Hong and Asuma seriously.

"Asuma, don't talk nonsense about this, Hong, Hongdou, you should also be careful, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Both girls knew the seriousness of the problem, but there was a look of worry between their eyebrows.

Because Kirigakure is not an easy guy to deal with.

Asuma was silent. He looked at the sky, his eyes full of his father's indifference to the Konoha civilians who were harmed by Konoha ninjas, and his indifference to those Konoha ninjas who died.

I begged him for Li Ke, and he also said, 'All ninjas in Konoha are the same. Even if you have the same injury as Murata Seitan, I can't violate the rules to save your arm! ’, what ‘Murata Carbon Cleaning became like this for the sake of the village, you are insulting his consciousness and glory! ’.

In the end, he had to find his clan uncle to save his best friend's arm...

Seeing him like this, Li Ke sighed.

"I know you are grieving for the civilians who died innocently, but Asuma, we are Konoha ninjas first, and then citizens of the Land of Fire."

Li Ke's words made Asuma sneer, but before he could say anything, an ANBU appeared in front of them the next moment.

"Jounin Murata Seitan, chunin Asuma Sarutobi, and genin Kurenai Yuhi, report to the first support unit immediately! Your troops will support the front line in an hour!"

After saying that, the ANBU handed a scroll to Li Ke, and Li Ke was shocked that he had been promoted to Jonin, but he was even more shocked that he just came out of the hospital and had to go to the front line.

But he reacted immediately.

"It seems that the Sandaime is planning to keep Asuma's plea for me to open the back door clear and to show justice... It seems that this mission won't be too dangerous."

But the naive Asuma obviously didn't expect this.

"Asshole old man!"

Asuma opened his eyes wide and stood up angrily. He couldn't believe that his father would send their team to fight on the front line of Kirigakure just to ask for help from his clan uncle!

"I'll go find him!!"
