At this moment, the body of the middle-aged noble suddenly began to change.

He howled in fear, his voice filled with endless fear and despair.

His body gradually decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was slowly swallowed by an invisible force.

The next moment, his voice suddenly disappeared.

But Tobirama keenly noticed that the fat man was still screaming, but the sound was blocked by some mysterious force and could not be transmitted.

This scene lasted only a few seconds, and then the body of the middle-aged noble disappeared completely, even the ashes were gone.

Tobirama didn't care about the way the fat noble died.

After all, Xingliu's methods had surprised him too many times, and he was a little aesthetically fatigued.

But some of the things the noble said just now made Tobirama think.

He turned his head to look at Xingliu and asked in a serious tone:

"Six years ago, did something happen between Konoha and the daimyo?"

Tsunade may be a little vague about what happened six years ago, but Xingliu remembers it clearly.

At that time, Uzumaki Mito's domineering and strong display left a deep impression on him.

Now, Tobirama's question made Xingliu realize that this matter might not really end, and perhaps someone was manipulating it behind the scenes.

After all, after Konoha and the daimyo fell out, a noble who withheld taxes suddenly appeared, and he was able to cleverly find the Sarutobi and Shimura clans as his umbrella. All this seemed too coincidental.

Although it was just a small town, it could be regarded as the "facade" of Konoha.

For a long time, the problems of this "facade" were not noticed by Konoha, which would undoubtedly cause doubts to those who came to Konoha to issue tasks.

It can be imagined that once the village's task income declines, Konoha will have to rely on the daimyo's funding to maintain operations.

In this case, even if Konoha does not lose its independence and autonomy, the daimyo's voice in Konoha will be greatly improved.

Although this strategy is not considered brilliant in Xingliu's eyes, it is indeed very effective.

But the daimyo would never have thought that Seiyuu was not Hashirama Senju, and it was not enough to describe him as Uchiha Madara.

Because he did not have the so-called divine right in his heart.

Thinking of this, Seiyuu said thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to go to the daimyo of the Land of Fire again."

Tobirama nodded and said: "Don't go too far."

Seiyuu laughed at this:

"How could it be? I just heard that the daimyo was seriously ill recently, and I want to see him for the last time to show my respect."

Tobirama's eyelids jumped when he heard this, but he did not persuade him.

The techniques that Tobirama studied were either forbidden techniques or related to the soul. How could he have any reverence?

Tobirama took a deep breath, looked at Xingliu and said:

"Do you know why this incident lasted so long without being discovered?"

Xingliu raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and replied:

"It's because Konoha's people are too stupid to rely on missions to maintain the village."

Tobirama looked at Xingliu with some surprise. He originally wanted to remind Xingliu that if he became Hokage in the future, he should not be careless like Mito and cause similar incidents to happen again.

But he didn't expect Xingliu's answer to be completely beyond his expectations.

Xingliu continued:

"I have always been confused about why you can be a lackey for the nobles with peace of mind. This incident should not have happened at all. That town is the face of Konoha. Why can you let others manage such an important place?"

Hearing this, Tobirama opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it.

He nodded thoughtfully and motioned Xingliu to continue.

At this point, Xingliu was a little excited:

"Do the daimyo and the nobles have to exist? Why can't we, Konoha, make the decision!"

"As the saying goes, my neighbor grows grain and I store it... practice ninjutsu. My neighbor is my granary. We can't beat the daimyo, right? Why should we give him the ownership of the Land of Fire?!"

Tobirama listened quietly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

After Xingliu finished speaking, he slowly said: "Actually, I have thought about the problem you mentioned."

Xingliu looked at him with some surprise and asked directly: "Then why not do it?"

Tobirama fell into memories, as if he had returned to that era full of changes and turmoil.

After a long while, he continued:

"Some things can never be achieved if they are missed."

His voice was full of regret and emotion.

Xingliu nodded thoughtfully. He understood that the "miss" Tobirama was referring to the critical time when Konoha was first established.moment.

At that time, the Senju and Uchiha clans were at their peak and had two gods of the ninja world.

Other ninja villages did not even have a Jinchūriki at that time.

That was the golden opportunity for Konoha to directly sweep across the five countries and achieve unification.

Unfortunately, people at that time were more eager for peace, even if it was a temporary peace.

Senju Hashirama also recognized this idea, which Uchiha Madara could not pull back.

After that, the two gods broke up and the first ninja world war broke out.

Therefore, Konoha missed that opportunity and could no longer achieve the ideal state described by Xingliu.

When Xingliu was deeply immersed in these thoughts, he did not notice that Tobirama was looking at him with a strange look.

Suddenly, Tobirama's voice broke his meditation: "But now this opportunity seems to have come again."

Xingliu was startled by this and came back to his senses.

He raised his head and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Yes, Konoha is no longer the same as it used to be.

The return of the two brothers of the Senju Pillar has greatly increased the strength of the village, and what is even more surprising is that the hero who allowed them to return is a strong man whose strength is far superior to that of the Senju Pillar.

However, this hero obviously does not want to accept this task now.

Xingliu smiled awkwardly and said:

"Let's talk about this matter after I catch Uchiha Madara. Now I will go to the capital of the Land of Fire to send the Daimyo off for the last time."

After that, Xingliu disappeared on the spot.

Tobirama looked at the direction where Xingliu disappeared, sighed softly, and shook his head helplessly.

..........

On the other side, Xingliu teleported all the way and found his destination in a short while.

In fact, sooner or later he will do what he just said and unify the Ninja Continent.

But compared with these, his own happiness is more important.

One reason why he wants Konoha to develop better is that he wants his living environment to be better.

The other reason is that he wants to change the many tragedies in Naruto.

But he doesn't owe anyone anything, and he doesn't have to pay anything for the people of the Ninja World.

He is not a saint and cannot do this.

He is just a person who is neither bad nor good.

He is still young now, so in his opinion, he should do what he should do at this age.

Again, time is always on his side.
