16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 242 Has the dream come true?

"Well, wait a minute, let me organize my thoughts."

Senshou Bashima raised his hand, motioning Kaguya Rei and Orochimaru to wait for a while, and then stretched his fingers, and began to list and count the information he currently possessed:

"Kigakure Village, the fourth generation of Mizukage of the Kaguya clan, and now it is the 51st year of Konoha, that is to say, this is the world after my death more than 30 years..."

Thinking of this, Senshou Bashima suddenly raised his head, looked straight into Kaguya's eyes, and asked kindly in a generous tone like the uncle next door:
"Then, since Wuyin Village has been passed down to the fourth generation, and a young man like you is still astonishingly young as Mizukage, what about Muye Village? Muye Village, how many generations of shadows have been passed down? Already?"

"The fourth generation, the specific period of being in power is similar to mine, and they are seven or eight years older than me, but they are still very young."

Kaguya Rei naturally answered Senjujuma's question, and there was no gap or distance at all because of the difference in positions between the two of them belonging to Kirigakure and Konoha. Conversation, on the contrary, is more like chatting with old acquaintances who haven't seen each other for many years.

"Oh? Has the ninja world reached the age where outstanding young people in the village can be allowed to take over?"

Hearing this, Senju Bashima's eyes lit up, and he nodded a little smugly, while asking curiously: "Then, please tell me again, which family is Konoha's current fourth-generation Hokage from?" Is it a ninja? From the Uchiha clan? Or from the Hyuga clan?"

"Neither." Hui Yelian smiled lightly and shook her head.

"Well, could it be Shimura, Sarutobi, or the junior ninjas of Inokacho? If so, they have become quite prosperous..."

The light in Senjujuma's eyes became brighter and brighter. Every time he said the name of a ninja who had joined Konoha in his time, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not help but become more obvious. Looking at the other party's frank expression without any hypocrisy, Kaguya couldn't help but feel admiration for the other party's idealist stance that has never faded until his death. He took a deep breath and gave a speech that made Qian Qian Tejuma almost laughed out loud on the spot for the answer:
"Neither, Konoha's Fourth Hokage is a ninja named Namikaze Minato, who was born as a commoner. He inherited the flying thunder god technique created by the second Hokage and carried it forward. In the just-concluded third In the Ninja World War, he played the prestige of the yellow flash, and after the war ended, he took over the position of Hokage from the third Naruto Sarutobi Hiruza."

"Oh, that's really nice!"

Senjujuma couldn't hold back his smile any longer, and laughed heartily, "After more than 30 years, even a ninja from a commoner background can learn advanced ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God and become a Hokage recognized by everyone. , to be able to allow such things to happen, Konoha is much more enlightened than when I was still here! The monkey did a really good job."

"Enlightened...?" The corner of Orochimaru's mouth drew a gloomy arc, "Then the first-generation lord, you are really optimistic enough."

"Civilian ninjas can stand out, and even become the Hokage of ninjas who have blood inheritance and family inheritance. In the era when Konoha was just established, even I have no confidence to do it... From this point of view, The monkey is already doing better than my first generation."

Senjujuma, who was in a good mood, didn't pay too much attention to the cold and sharp thorns in Orochimaru's words, but sincerely praised the changes made by the third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi in this respect, and then took a deep breath After taking a breath, he turned his gaze to Hui Yeren, who had a playful expression, and asked again with a serious tone:
"But... the third ninja world war? After I left, even the threat of the tailed beast couldn't make the ninjas headed by the five great ninja villages give up the idea of ​​​​waging war?"

"To be exact, just after you died, the tail beast and jinchuriki were thrown into the first ninja world war that swept the entire ninja world as one of the most important war weapons in the five major ninja villages. Not only did the intensity far exceed the wars at the end of the Warring States Period, it even led to the fall of all the second-generation kages of the five major ninja villages, bringing the ninja world directly into the era of the third-generation kage."

"...So, did it become like this?"

Seeing Senjujuma's expression suddenly becoming low and solemn, Kaguya shrugged and commented in a casual tone:
"At the original Five Kages Conference, what was your consideration for distributing the Nine Tailed Beasts to the Five Ninja Villages? I will not speculate and evaluate for the time being, but from the perspective of historical development, you Some overestimated the deterrent power of tailed beasts as weapons, and intentionally or unintentionally ignored the fact that a healthy and alive yourself was the biggest guarantee for maintaining peace in that era."

"That's also impossible."

Senshou Zhujian sighed, shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"After the battle with Madara was over, I felt that my body was deteriorating at an unprecedented speed. Even after that, I stopped playing and being active as a ninja. At most, I could only do more. Delay for two or three years...

Even if I was really the key to maintaining peace in that era, as you said, when my body started to deteriorate uncontrollably, it was impossible for me to think of nothing and just stay there foolishly. Don't leave the position. "

"So you came up with the idea of ​​distributing the tailed beasts to each ninja village, and by letting them all have such a destructive hole card as the tailed beast, so that they are afraid of each other and dare not restart the war easily?"

Hui Ye Lian did not entangle in the right or wrong of distributing tailed beasts among the Senshouzhu, but seriously asked the other party why they chose to do so.

"Yeah, because the power of the tailed beast is really strong."

Senshou Zhujian spoke unconvincing words in his capacity, and said in a slightly depressed mood:
"I originally thought that if all ninja villages had similar forces, the threshold for launching a war would become very high, and the parties could sit down and resolve disputes through communication... "

"Like you and Uchiha Madara?"

"Perhaps... there are considerations in this regard?"

Senshou Zhujian scratched his head, and he said not very sure:

"After all, a person as proud as Madara, if he doesn't have the same level of strength as him, he won't even have the patience to sit down and listen to you... And a genius ninja like him who is proud and arrogant has just returned from Warring States. There should be quite a few of the major ninja villages that came out of the troubled times."

Kaguya stared at the face with clear lines in Qianshou Zhujian, and said in a helpless tone:

"Then you really found a very strange path, the first generation of Hokage. If I remember correctly, even though you and Uchiha Madara once confided in each other and jointly established the original Ninja Village Konoha in the ninja world, they still went on the road later. The ending of parting ways eventually even reached the point of fighting to the death... Knowing that this kind of attempt has a high probability of failure in the end, what is the reason for choosing it?"

"Because Madara and I relied on this mutual understanding to put aside the hatred between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan and build Konoha Ninja Village."

On the face of Senshou Zhujian, he couldn't help showing some nostalgic expression. He tilted his head, looked at Kaguya Ren who didn't hide his surging fairy chakra too much, and said in a complicated tone:
"Until death came, I didn't think clearly what Madara meant when he found a new path, and I didn't know what kind of mood he was in before he decided to bring Kyuubi to destroy In the Konoha Ninja Village we established together, I can't even fathom the reason why he risked his life to fight such a battle with me."

"He has become a person with goals and dreams that I can't understand, and I have also become a person who can kill friends and family members in order to protect the village. From his point of view, maybe I have also become him. Looks like you can't understand it."

Senshou Bashirama shook his head sighingly, and his expression became softer and calmer. He looked at his frail body made of strange dust, and muttered to himself:
"But even so, I still remember how relieved Madara and I were when the war between Senju and Uchiha finally came to an end, and I still miss the two of us sitting on the empty Hokage Rock, talking about the How to be unrestrained and carefree when naming this childhood ideal that has finally come true...

It was even clearer and more profoundly recalled the feeling when we first met, when we obviously didn't even dare to communicate with each other's surnames, but it was incredible to feel that the other party was the one who could understand me. "

"Probably because the feeling of mutual understanding is so good, so I expect that among the ninjas in the future, there will also be teenagers who have reached mutual understanding like me and Madara. They don't need to carry the burden brought by the family and the village. Hate and pain, you can freely exchange names, become friends, brothers, family members, and work together on the basis I have established, and take the road of peace farther and wider."

"But obviously, no matter how beautiful the fantasy is, it is only a fantasy after all... Your idea of ​​relying on mutual understanding between people to realize the eternal peace step by step has failed without any accident. It’s over, Senshouzhujian.”

Kaguya Rei was unmoved, and gave a cold and sharp evaluation with reality to Senju Hashimama's sincere and heartfelt self-report.

"So you, who have the power to change this era, are you alone, Kaguya?"

And Senshou Bashima just stared at the pair of white eyes in Kaguya Lian's eye sockets that didn't quite fit, and sighed with complicated emotions.

　Work hard today to see if I can write three chapters...

　　There should be hope, right?Although Chapter 3 may not be finished before twelve o'clock, but it can always be finished before one o'clock, right?
