Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

Chapter 312

Some things may seem easy to solve on the surface, but if there is a troublesome person like Danzo deliberately stirring up trouble inside, even the Hokage will be troubled.

Tsunade looked at Namikaze Minato's reaction calmly and seemed not surprised at all: "I have also been a Hokage, so I know very well how troublesome Konoha's internal affairs are. You said that the Hokage wants to protect Konoha? So, what? Is it Konoha? Aren't Uchiha part of Konoha?" She pointed to the chaotic battlefield in front of her and asked: "On this battlefield now, the Konoha ninjas who are being used as cannon fodder are not Konoha, aren't they? ? Just now Naoki asked me why the ninjas of Konoha and Kumogakure looked so weak and died so quickly? I decided to tell him the truth, because those ninjas are for consumption! The elites in the army have been concentrated in the rear by you , to facilitate retreat at any time! Just because Konoha can continue to expand its army immediately, so you don’t have to care about the life and death of ordinary genin! Their role on the battlefield is not as intuitive and effective as a few detonating charms!"

"There's nothing we can do about this..." Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly.

"There's no way!" Tsunade nodded in agreement.

Her attitude made Namikaze Minato feel very difficult, because what he could refute, Tsunade seemed to have considered it long ago.

"From the beginning, we have sacrificed some people's lives in the name of protection. The Third Hokage is that kind of person. As long as it is for Konoha, he is willing to do anything. But, I am tired, and many people are tired. , we have experienced too many wars and killed countless enemies, but in the end we found that we could not protect anything. Before we knew it, there was nothing in our hands, and there was no one following behind us. Minato , do you still remember your teammates at the same time? They all died, and in the end even you died young. In my opinion, that is better, because if you die too quickly, you will not have time to be changed by time, and you can still Keep the image of a familiar hero alive in the memories of the survivors. We, the Sannin of Konoha, are different. We have lived for too long and experienced too many things. In the end, we completely forgot our true intentions and became a person who cannot even understand ourselves. They all feel like strangers. Orochimaru has betrayed Konoha long ago, and Jiraiya has been chasing him for more than ten years. But what about me? I feel that no matter where I am, Konoha is still the same, and there is nothing I can do. , it can’t change anything. It wasn’t until the rope tree was resurrected that I saw hope again and saw my original self!”

Her originally calm eyes gradually glowed and became aggressive, staring at Namikaze Minato: "You said that the will of fire is the will to protect passed down from generation to generation. So, let me ask you, what exactly are we protecting? Layer by layer Peel away the earth, sacrifice yourself, sacrifice others, sacrifice civilians, sacrifice ninjas, sacrifice so many heroes, is the last thing left really the so-called jade? Rather than rubbish like Danzo? You once acted in the way of Naruto, for Konoha sacrificed everything, but now looking back, what happened in Konoha after your death, were everything really what you wanted? For me, Konoha was once my home, but for that home, I All my family members are dead! What’s the point of all this? Who can tell me why we keep sacrificing human lives to protect such a vain concept and geographical name?”

"This... there is no choice, we have no choice!" Namikaze Minato shook his head again, closed his eyes, and looked like he was thinking.

Naoki looked at the Hokage and then at his sister. His expression changed from the excitement of seeing the Hokage for the first time to a dull one. He had no idea what these two people were talking about!It just feels like the Fourth Hokage was refuted by his sister?How can this be?Naoki looked shocked, completely forgetting that Tsunade was actually a Hokage and was higher than Namikaze Minato in terms of master and apprentice.

After Namikaze Minato thought for a moment, he sighed again and said, "It seems that it is impossible for you to return to Konoha."

"No, nothing is impossible. Konoha is just a place name to me. I can go to any place in the world!"

Tsunade's answer was worse than Namikaze Minato expected, because her attitude towards Konoha was no longer love or hate, but a kind of disregard, similar to the indifference of a bystander.Why is this all happening?According to intelligence, not long ago she was a qualified Hokage, doing her best to protect the villagers in Konoha, but now she has become like this?Is it because of meeting Nagato?
"What kind of person do you think the leader of the Akatsuki organization is?" Namikaze Minato couldn't help but ask Tsunade.

"Nagato?" Tsunade, who had always been eloquent, hesitated after hearing this question, with a tangled expression on her face, thinking to herself, "Should he be a bastard, right? A bastard? A butcher? A cold-blooded executioner? He doesn’t look like a good person anyway!”

At this point, she nodded, seemingly certain of this conclusion!
Cold sweat dripped from Namikaze Minato's forehead: "...Okay, it seems you won't side with the Akatsuki organization."

This is rare good news for him, because a medical master like Tsunade can exert too much influence in a long-term war, and she also has the aura of the former Hokage. Even he could hardly imagine what a bad impact it would have if he firmly supported the Akatsuki organization!

After all, Tsunade has saved too many Konoha ninjas in her decades of ninja career!Who knows how those people will react when they hear that they have become Tsunade's enemies?Mutiny on the spot is not impossible!How many people have no resentment towards the current ninja system?I have seen the dark Namikaze Minato, and I know how hard it is for the ninjas at the bottom!

"Don't worry, the relationship between me and Nagato is just business!" Tsunade waved her hand, showing her true nature as a gambler, "If you can afford the price, I can also sell you the information about the Akatsuki organization. Anyway, those people don’t seem to care about any secrets!”

"Really?" Namikaze Minato smiled awkwardly, and actually asked about the price of the information. After hearing Tsunade Shishi's wide-open quotation, he almost blurted out and asked her why she didn't grab it?After recalling her dream of "betting all over the world", Namikaze Minato shuddered and felt that such a "great" dream, combined with her hellish gambling luck, was really... no one else, He could only wish Tsunade good luck!

"Are you really not going to buy it? This is my first-hand information!" Tsunade's tone sounded like she felt sorry for Namikaze Minato. "At that time, I joined the Akatsuki organization just to get some information. It would be too much for you not to buy it. Pity!"

It's not a pity at all, okay?Who are you feeling sorry for?Namikaze Minato suppressed his desire to complain and showed an awkward yet polite smile.

"Speaking of it, I also understand that this world is constantly creating hatred. Whether it was before my death or now, I can't think of a way to save the world. But I decided to believe in Naruto. It's incredible to say that since he was born, From the first moment I saw him, I believed that he was the son of prophecy and the person who could change everything."

Namikaze Minato looked at the extremely powerful purple Susanoo on the battlefield. When he thought that Naruto was there, the expression on his face gradually became confident.

However, his self-confidence is undoubtedly incomprehensible in the eyes of others.At least, normal adults should not throw the burden of saving the world on a baby.After all, babies don't understand anything, they don't show any characteristics, and even whether they have any genetic diseases can only be determined by professional examination. He just took a look and believed it?
"You probably don't know Naruto at all." Tsunade pointed out unceremoniously, "Naruto's brain is not very good. Although he is very perseverant, I also believe that he can become Hokage, but just change everything. , he can't even change the situation in Konoha! Do you think he can play with power better than people like Danzo? He will be used as a gun user! Let him go out and work alone when something goes wrong, and when nothing happens Let him work more than ten hours a day, deal with all the trivial matters in the village, waste his time in a sea of ​​ordinary official duties, and in the end find that he has done nothing!"

Namikaze Minato scratched his head and recalled the piles and piles of documents that his secretary brought to him when he was Hokage. He felt that that scene was really scarier than anything else!
Can Naruto handle those files?How can you find time to change the world when you're done dealing with it?This is a problem.But, no matter what, he believed in Naruto!

"Because he is my son, and fathers believe in their sons!"

Namikaze Minato was very loyal to his heart and gave such an "explanation" that was difficult to refute from a human perspective.

If Tsunade continued to object from a rational point of view, he would have no objection, but Tsunade did not do so. Obviously, both of them were more willing to analyze themselves than to convince the other party. Therefore, Tsunade also said frankly: "For me, I am no longer in the mood to change the world. The moment I saw the rope tree, I knew that as long as I could keep the family in front of me!"

Namikaze Minato glanced at him in surprise. Naoki, whose face turned red after hearing what Tsunade said, nodded with a smile on his face and said, "That's fine! You said that to me. I understand, Tsunade-sama, no matter what others say, in my heart, you are still the real Hokage."

With that said, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared in front of Tsunade and Naoki. He should have returned to the battlefield.

"······that."

After he left, Naoki asked Tsunade with great confusion, "What is the real Hokage? What did that person mean?"

He thought that these two people had completely opposite views, so why did they seem to be on the same page in the end?Is this a Hokage-level conversation?Isn’t it too profound?

"You don't need to know!" Tsunade rubbed his head hard and grinned, "Because you will understand sooner or later, Naoki, you are my brother, and you are essentially a Hokage!"

The stupid Shengshu opened his mouth wide, obviously falling into deeper confusion.He glanced at Tsunade with sideways eyes, wanting to ask her if she had taken the wrong medicine?But because Tsunade's fist was really hard, he had to give up such an attractive idea!

······
However, when Namikaze Minato was talking to Tsunade, Suigetsu was finally found in Deidara's field of vision. He was leading his army to the Wooden Forest, preparing to support Darui of the friendly forces.

In Deidara's view, the ninjas on both sides were baboons who only knew how to wield swords and had no sense of artistic beauty at all.After they collided head-on, Shuiyue, the leader of the baboons, did not rush to draw his sword. Instead, he formed a seal with his hands and channeled a huge clam.As if it had been steamed, the big clam's tentacles kept spraying out white mist, which filled the battlefield and gradually covered a large space around Shuiyue.

Then, Deidara discovered that the Kumogakure ninjas around the big clam were no longer any match for the Kirigakure ninjas.All their attacks were ineffective against the Kirigakure ninja and directly penetrated the Kirigakure ninja's body.It was as if the Kirigakure ninjas, including Suigetsu, had become elusive phantoms like the moon in the mirror.However, the Kumogakure ninjas would obviously be attacked by the Kirigakure ninjas, with knife wounds constantly appearing on their bodies, and from time to time someone would fall to the ground and die.Therefore, in a short while, Suigetsu led the army and defeated Darui.

On the premise that there is no information support, and there is no way to wash the ground with a big move like Nagato, the second generation Mizukage's steaming pavilion, such a large-scale illusion is almost unsolvable, Darui has no idea at all, what happened in front of him what's going on?

"Well, that psychic beast! It's interesting!" Deidara watched the battle between the two sides in the air. Seeing Suigetsu continue to use this move to deal with the remaining "Kumogakure Baboon", Deidara looked away and focused on Somewhere else.

The combination of Scorpion and Kakuzu had no problem defeating Konoha's older generation Inoka Butterfly. Not only did the shadow imitation technique have no effect on the puppets, Akimichi Dingzao, who could use the doubling technique, also found that he had to be extra careful with Scorpion. The poison used is fine, so it seems timid.

With the help of Scorpion, Kakuzu was so proud that he used five combined ninjutsus of different chakra properties to wash the ground in turn, spraying the coalition ninjas who came to support until they screamed. Deidara watched. He got excited and couldn't help but help throw a few bombs to add to the fun. However, they complained that he was meddling in other people's business and actually told him to go away!
"Hmph, if I help you again, I will be a dog!" Deidara sat on the two-winged bird and flew away, continuing to look for targets worthy of his bombing.

Tsunade and Naoki's contact with ninjas suspected of being on the coalition side was recorded in his notebook, and he was going to report it to the leader when he returned!On the other side, Obito and Lin found a place to "appreciate" the war. He was also very dissatisfied. He reflexively wanted to throw a few bombs and kill the heterosexual couple!

If Obito was still wearing the same mask as before, maybe he would really explode!It's a pity that Obito is no longer the A Fei he used to be. Deidara is a little angry because he can't explode at will.

He glanced at Sasuke's increasingly larger purple Susanoo. Just as he concluded that the war had been won, he was surprised to see another blue Susanoo not far from the battlefield. Zuonenghu, what's going on?Deidara was bored and couldn't help but want to watch the excitement.

　The will of the Hokage, in the end, "one stroke" is what is called "belief", no matter what it is, it is left to future generations to solve.

　　This is the biggest difference between Madara and Hashira.
