Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 290: Minato's Vision, the Land of Thunder and Fire!
"You, are you serious?"

Looking at the determined Minato in front of him,

Uchiha Ci's expression darkened instantly, he stared at Minato and asked in a deep voice:

"Don't you know what the consequences of doing this are?"

"Assassinating a daimyo is a serious crime and is not tolerated by all nations, not to mention that it happened at a meeting of five nations!"

"Have you ever thought that you will become a traitor because of this!?"

"Minato, isn't your dream to become Hokage!?"

"Are you going to abandon your dream?"

Yes, Namikaze Minato is the one who has the most ability to accomplish the feat of assassinating the daimyo at the hands of the Third Raikage and escape unscathed!

However, Uchiha Ci hoped that this was just an impulsive thought of the other party, an act of revenge for his companions' death.

After seeing that he was still alive, perhaps he would change his mind?

But alas, it is not.

Namikaze Minato did not show his usual confident and gentle smile.
The expression on his face was calm. It was a calm expression that only comes after one has understood everything and experienced painful thinking and enlightenment. It was like the Nanhe River gurgling in the setting sun, reflecting the determination that only a martyr could understand!

"Ci, you should be aware of Konoha's original plan."

"With Lord Orochimaru's surprise attack ahead, we only need to protect the Daimyo and wait and see what happens. Then we can stand firm against the Kumogakure in this Third Shinobi World War and remain invincible."

"And Konoha will certainly be able to reap the fruits of Orochimaru's efforts to implement the Kumogakure collapse plan!"

"But the final result will not change!"

"The Fire Nation is a rich land and is the target of public criticism. The other nations will not allow Konoha to continue to grow stronger.

Even if Konoha survives this Ninja World War, the next time, and the next time, war will eventually come to Konoha."

Namikaze Minato stood in front of the map, pointed to the core location of the Four Battles of Konoha on the large map, and said in a deep voice:

"This is an inescapable fact!"

Then, he looked straight at Uchiha Ci,

"As the assistant to the Hokage, even though Shimura Danzo has many faults, his vision is correct!"

"If you want to change this, someone must make a sacrifice!"

After hearing this, Uchiha Ci couldn't hold back any longer. He felt that Danzo must have put Little Sun on the electric chair and brainwashed him severely, otherwise why would this smart guy just not listen no matter how hard he tried?
He simply stepped forward, grabbed Minato Namikaze's collar, pulled his head down, and looked into his closed eyes.
Then, Uchiha Ci stared at Minato with a horrified look, suppressing the inexplicable irritation in his heart and shouted:
"sacrifice?"

"What sacrifice! What does this have to do with sacrifice? Minato, listen, don't be fooled by Danzo!"

"This old man only wants the position of Hokage and Konoha that belongs to him."

"He instigated you so that you wouldn't be able to become Hokage, so that you wouldn't be qualified to compete with him!"

"Daimyo is just a position!"

"Even if you kill the person sitting in that position, a new daimyo will take office the next day, and the system of the ninja world will continue. And you will only bury your dream and become a traitorous ninja!"

"I will only regret the unwise actions I made in countless nights!"

"You don't understand how insignificant an individual's power is in front of the system that runs society, and you don't have the strength to overturn the table and clear everything!"

Uchiha Ci's face was tense, and he slammed his head hard against Minato's forehead protector, staring at him intently, gritting his teeth and saying:
"Can you please wake up for me!"

Even though he had the consciousness to change the world for the people he cherished, Uchiha Ci did not do it immediately and rewrite everything. Instead, he chose to lie dormant, choose to continue to hide his fangs, choose to accumulate strength, and wait until he really had the strength to overturn the table! It was because he understood!
However, even though his head was broken and bleeding after being hit by Uchiha Ci's headbutt, and the blood slid down the Konoha forehead protector, across the wings of his nose, and fell to the corners of his jaw, Minato was not angry at all.

On the contrary, he smiled gently and looked directly at Uchiha Ci with an extremely determined and happy look.

"Sure enough, you are that kind of person!"

"Uchiha Ci,"

"You see it more clearly than anyone else, and you know better than anyone else that for a ninja—"

"Daimyo is a stubborn disease!"

Then, he changed the subject, took Uchiha Ci's arm, and led him to the large map.
Shuimen pointed to the location of Yunming City on the map and said seriously:

"But, Ci——"

"Even if you want to escape,"

"The unprecedented change in the ninja world in a thousand years has happened because of you!"

"There is an undercurrent in Yunming City right now, and everyone is targeting the daimyo!"

"Some of them may be hesitant, some may give up halfway, and some may still be considering it!"

"but,"

"The killing intention has arisen!"

"The daimyo is no longer someone who cannot be touched!"

Then, Minato stretched out his finger, dipped some of the blood on his face, and drew a horizontal line on the map, directly connecting the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth!

That blood line spans the ocean between the two countries.

It seemed as if one could see countless ninjas wearing Kumogakure and Iwagakure forehead protectors fighting each other, with blood flowing like a river and corpses everywhere, and one could hear the continuous wails of pain from them!
"The current situation!"

"The Cloud Village is bound to clash with the Iwagakure!"

"Kill the daimyo now and support his son Ryuzoji Sugu to take the throne. After the Battle of Rock and Thunder, we can take the opportunity to severely damage the Kingdom of Thunder!"

"In addition, there is all sorts of confidential information obtained by Lord Orochimaru, information that Kumogakure has not had time to update."

Minato raised his finger again and pressed it on the border of the Land of Fire, the location of the Land of Fields.

With a horizontal stroke, the territories of the Fire Kingdom and the Lightning Kingdom were directly connected.
Then, he shouted excitedly:
"at this time--

"Konoha, we should cross the Land of Fields and take the Land of Thunder and Fire!"

"Conquer the three kingdoms of Tian, ​​Tang, and Shuang!"

"Once this situation is established, we will be protected by the five small countries of Tie, Long, Cao, Yu, and Gu!"

"There is a water country below for backup!"

"With this place, we only need to welcome the enemy to the west. At least we can help Konoha build a stable country for a hundred years!"

Using blood to connect the vast territory on the map, Minato's breathing became heavier, and he couldn't help but daydream about it.
"Our next generation and the next generation will be able to live here in peace,"

"There is no need to go to such a cruel battlefield at such an age like you and Kakashi!"

Looking at the bloody and drawn map in front of me,

Uchiha Ci fell silent,
Even from his perspective, he had to admit that
This is indeed a godsend!
