16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 241 Reasons for Exploration

"Oh my, you really like to assign me some embarrassing tasks, Lian Jun."

A huge and empty experimental place was dug out of the basement of the research institute. Da Shemaru was standing in the center of the experimental square at this time, arranging the taboo spells that only he had mastered at the moment, while casually speaking to Zheng Zheng. Kaguya Li, who closed her eyes and meditated, complained:

"Do you know how much inspiration and foreshadowing will be lost if someone interrupts the experiment halfway through?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not as much as you can get in this reincarnation."

Hui Yelian replied calmly.

"Oh, you really think highly of me, Mr. Lian."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, and at the same time drew the last stroke of the dirty soil reincarnation technique. He stared at the forbidden technique that he had obtained for a long time but had no time to study and practice, bit his finger and said:

"If you start with a big man like the first generation of Hokage as your target, I'm not completely sure that he will obey my instructions well?"

"So the death row I gave you is just the kind of garbage that just relies on its identity as a ninja to commit crimes and commit crimes, but it is not enough to support the first generation of Hokage to exert one-thousandth of his power."

Kaguya looked at the death row prisoner who had been cast with an illusion early and didn't even know what his next fate was, and his tone was Gujing Wubo:
"Exchanging the life of a worthless piece of trash for the opportunity to communicate with the former ninja god, even if you can only get a few words about the past from his mouth, the value is far more than the value of this piece of trash from birth to the present. The sum of the value created."

"Is the truth of history really important to you?"

Orochimaru took out the kunai with the spell attached, and cut a piece of fresh flesh and blood from the inter-hashira tissue in the petri dish as a material, and asked Rei Kaguya in a tone that didn't quite understand:

"Mortal people pursue the truth of history because they need to use the so-called covered things to give their actions a layer of legitimacy, and use this to gain the pursuit and support of more mortals who recognize this legitimacy... ...But for you who stand at the pinnacle of ninja power, the truth of history can actually be whatever you like, right?"

"Even you can't understand, my obsession with history and truth, Orochimaru?" Kaguya Rei's tone was filled with a little helplessness and bleakness, "I originally thought that you, who were pursuing the future, more or less Those who can empathize with me..."

"You also know that what I'm after is the future, Mr. Lian..."

Orochimaru licked the Kunai with the spell in his hand, then stabbed it into the brain of the living sacrifice, and said with a flat expression:

"For the future with infinite possibilities, right and wrong that have been settled in the past have no meaning. It can neither help me lock the future in a more controllable range, nor can it make me understand the true meaning of ninjutsu. I have made more progress in the exploration and reinterpretation of the past... So for me, what is the value of the past that must be clarified?"

"You are really, a very standard science and technology research school's point of view."

Kaguya smiled, stood up from where she was sitting, and began to walk in the direction of Orochimaru, "But yes, if a crazy scientist like you starts to care about humanities, history, and philosophy If you study it, then you lose that purity."

"Humanities, history, philosophy..." Orochimaru chewed these few words, an inexplicable light flashed in his narrow and gloomy eyes, "Is this what you want to explore, Lian Jun?"

"Yes, I want to let the ninja world, which has experienced countless wars and pains, but still has not bred true reflection, acquire the ability to think deeply about these things."

Kaguya nodded, looked down at the death row prisoner who had begun to howl in pain, and gradually turned towards the death row prisoner wearing the armor of the Warring States Period, and said calmly:
"Why are ninjas born? Why do ninjas fight each other? Why do we, who have chakra, become captives of money? Why is the ninja village, which can independently wage wars, a passive party that has to look at the big names of various countries? There is no end to the war between the world? Why are those who try to achieve peace through mutual understanding doomed to failure?"

"Only by thinking clearly about these issues, can the ninja world truly get rid of the influence left over from the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, and only when the answers to these questions are obtained, the ninja village will not be the only place for people who have mastered chakra. A home that can be imagined."

"Can't you give them the answer directly, Lian Jun?"

Orochimaru formed the mark of controlling the reincarnation of the dirty soil, and at the same time threw the question he had always wanted to ask to Kaguya Rei:
"With your wisdom, vision and speaking skills, it shouldn't be difficult to fabricate an answer that can convince everyone... In this chaotic era, there are not many people who can see through everything you weave through their own thinking .”

"Indeed, if I just want to give them an answer, I'll stay in Kirigakure to study for a year or two, and then I'll call Shisui and Nagato over and tell them the answer I got after thinking about it. Although it is just a family statement, it should be enough for them to believe it.”

Kaguya Rie laughed silently. He looked at "Senju Bashirama" who was standing up unsteadily, looking at his hands and the surrounding environment full of doubts, and said with a sigh:
"However, this kind of answer is meaningless... An answer based on personal thinking, a set of philosophies without sufficient logical deduction that can be demonstrated and reproduced by latecomers, is not enough to change the entire ninja world .”

"It's like the will of fire left by the first Hokage to Konoha. At first, it may be to protect the village and protect everyone in the village as family members. Such a simple and kind wish, but when Uchiha Madara hits At that time, the will of fire held by the first generation of Hokage has become that anyone who wants to destroy the village will be eradicated, even if this person is his family."

"Thoughts are also things that will continue to deteriorate, and gradually deviate in the process of inheritance, and eventually go bad and collapse."

"If you only give a thought that is like a castle in the air at the beginning, with only answers but no argumentation process, it will not be long before it will be in the hands of those who are qualified to interpret it to oppress those who cannot, or are not worthy of interpreting. A tool for people who share their minds."

"Oshemaru, you should also have some feelings, right? Especially when you were deprived of the qualification and reason to stay in Konoha by the Third Hokage on the grounds of 'violating the will of fire'..."

Having said that, Kaguya paused for a moment, then he opened his arms, facing Senshou Hashirama who had already looked towards him, and smiled sincerely:

"Welcome back to Konoha's 51st year of life. I am the Fourth Mizukage Kaguya Rei. I am very glad to have the opportunity to communicate with you face to face in this era, the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama-sama."
