Chapter 528: Promise (4)
"Don't tell me that Konoha is well defended and guards Naruto Uzumaki's strength is strong!"
"When Uzumaki Kushina gave birth, the defense was tighter and the guard was stronger!"
"As the Hokage, it is impossible for Bo Feng Shuimen to think that the person who drove the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha would suddenly be kind!"
Hinata's rebuttal and questioning left the three Hokages speechless.
Looking at the speechless three generations of Hokage, Hinata Ichiro said: "Also, at that time, you and several Konoha ninjas had rushed to the scene where the Nine-Tails were sealed by the Bo Feng Water Gate!"
"At that time, how did Bo Feng Shuimon do it-as the Hokage, Bo Feng Shuimon would rather waste his time on the relationship between his children and daughters than on passing on the enemy's information!"
"In the case of the failure of the attack on Konoha and the return of the Nine-Tails to Konoha control, could it be that the person who drove the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha would be willing to accomplish nothing on his own?"
"No!"
"A strong man who can control the Nine-Tails attack Konoha is impossible to be willing, and he will definitely make a comeback!"
"That's it!"
"Bo Feng Shuimen is dead, and the intelligence is gone!"
"When the man who drove the Nine-Tails attack Konoha strikes again in the uncertain future, Konoha will need to trade the ninja's life for information that should have been known!"
"Huh!"
"This is our 'great' four generations of Hokage - a four-generation Hokage who declares to the outside world that 'Konoha is home, and Konoha people are companions and family'!"
"Sad !!"
"I mourn for the ninjas who died in the Nine-Tails attack on the village, and I mourn for the ninjas who died in the battle between Konoha and the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!"
"If Bo Feng Shuimen can become the new Nine-Tails Pillar Force, it will make sense for the ninja who died in the Nine-Tails attack on the village - because Konoha will settle down from this. ”
"If Bo Feng Shuimen can become the new Nine-Tails Pillar Force, then the battle between Konoha and Yunyin Ninja Village will not break out at all - although Konoha has suffered heavy losses due to the Nine-Tails attack on the village, Konoha's shadow-level powerhouses and quasi-shadow-level powerhouses are still far ahead of other ninja villages!"
"It's a pity that there is no Konoha in the eyes of Bo Feng Shuimen!"
"After the death of Bo Feng Shuimen, Konoha fell into an undercurrent - in order to compete for the position of the Hokage vacated by the death of Bo Feng Shuimen, all forces have shot one after another!"
"Seeing the opportunity of Konoha suffering heavy losses and the disunity of all forces, the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village brazenly launched a war to invade Konoha!"
"If Bo Feng Shuimen hadn't died, the various forces in Konoha wouldn't have made a move to compete for the vacated Hokage position!"
"If the forces of all parties in Konoha do not make a move to fight for the vacated Hokage position, then the Yunyin Ninja Village, which has not yet recovered the wounds of the Third Ninja World War, will definitely not dare to launch a war of aggression against Konoha!"
"Because a high-level combat power is attached and everyone is united in the name of the Hokage, Konoha is not a soft persimmon to be rubbed!"
"Huh!"
"Bo Feng Shuimen, who has no Konoha in his eyes, erased the meaning of the ninja who sacrificed in the Nine-Tails attack on the village with his actions, so that Konoha had to pay more sacrifices to repel the invasion of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!"
"Human life—"
"Three generations of Hokage, human life is neither a mustard that can be discarded at will, nor a leek that has been cut and stubble!"
"One more Konoha ninja sacrifices, and Konoha has one more broken family!"
"Could it be that 'Konoha is home, Konoha people are companions and family' is just a propaganda slogan with no substance?"
"Could it be that the will of fire that you Hokage sings is just talking?"
The three generations of Hokage were silent.
Looking at the three generations of Hokage in silence, Hinata Ichiro said: "Of course, when things are difficult to achieve in the world, I don't deny that sometimes sacrifices are necessary!"
"But please respect those who sacrificed, please don't erase the meaning of the sacrifice of those who sacrificed, please make the sacrifice of those who sacrifice more valuable!"
"Three generations of Hokage, when the sacrificed people sacrificed, the blood that came out was red, not white - I beg you not to let the blood of the sacrificed people be shed in vain!"
Hinata Ichiro's words made the faces of the three generations of Hokage red and blue.
Looking at the faces of the three generations of Hokage, Tsunade pulled the corner of Hinata Ichiro's clothes and said softly, "Ichiro, don't say it!"
Hinata Ichiro swept Tsunade's hand pulling the corner of his clothes aside, and said to Tsunade: "Tsunade, why don't you let me say it!"
"If the Konoha high-level leaders are allowed to tarnish the noble reputation of 'hero' in a way that reverses black and white, wouldn't it make the ancestors of Konoha who won the honor of 'hero' die blindly!"
Hyuga's attitude made Tsunade dare not speak casually anymore.
Hinata Ichiro first glanced at Tsunade, who was forced to stop talking, and then looked back at the three generations of Hokage, and asked, "Three generations of Hokage, didn't your conscience hurt when you and other Konoha high-level officials preached Bo Feng Shuimen as saving Konoha heroes?"
"Or do you have no conscience after being in a high position for a long time?"
Hinata Ichiro asked, and the hands of the three generations of Hokage shook and loosened, loosened and clenched.
Looking at the movements of the hands of the three generations of Hokage, Hinata Ichiro suddenly became happy.
"Alright!" Hinata Ichiro waved his hand and said, "Three generations of Hokage, that's all for the rest of the conversation!"
"Let's get back to business!"
"Whew-"
Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hinata Ichiro say that he was back to business - Tsunade really didn't want Ighiro Hinata to have a conflict with the three Hokages.
Glancing at the relieved Tsunade, Hinata Ichiro said to the three generations of Hokage: "In the case that I won't help Naruto Uzumaki tame the Nine-Tails, whether we can cooperate with each other is all in your thoughts!"
"If you agree, we'll work together!"
"If you want to veto, it will be a waste of each other's time to talk to each other!"
Hearing Hinata Ichiro say this, the three generations of Hokage understood what Hinata Ichiro meant.
So, while getting up, the three generations of Hokage said, "After a while, I will give you the answer!"
Looking at the three generations of Hokage who got up, Hinata Ichiro said, "Tsunade, help me send the three generations of Hokage!"
"Hmm!" Tsunade said.
After that, under Tsunade's send-off, the three generations of Hokage walked towards the outside of the house.
As Tsunade and the three Hokage walked outside, Hinata Ichiro's voice reached the ears of Tsunade and the three Hokage.
"If the Tao is different, then it is not a conspiracy!" Hinata Ichiro muttered to himself.
The decisive words made Tsunade and the three generations of Hokage involuntarily stagnate their own walking.
Immediately, Tsunade and the three Hokage walked out of Sunset Red's residence.
……
After seeing off the three Hokages, Tsunade returned to the room.
"Ichiro, since you want to get the support of the old man and others, then why did you say those words to the old man!" Tsunade looked at Hinata Ichiro and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your words will anger the old man?"
"It's a big deal, I'll start a new one!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"You, you, it's light!" Tsunade nodded Hinata Ichiro's head and said, "You think it's easy to start anew?"
"Some words, don't spit out and be unhappy!" Hinata Ichiro said.
Hearing Hinata Ichiro say this, Tsunade had no choice but to spread his hands.
Looking at Tsunade, Hinata Ichiro thought for a while and said, "Tsunade, if the reform of the national system can be carried out smoothly, then the position of 'Hokage' will disappear!"
"If I finish the position of 'Hokage' with my own hands, will you hate me?"
"Hate you!?" Tsunade asked, "Why should I hate you?"
"Because the Hokage's position used to be a rope tree and a ......," Hinata Ichiro said.
Halfway through the sentence, Hinata Ichiro stopped—in Hinata's eyes, the next name was the last person he wanted to mention to Tsunade.
Although Hinata Ichiro stopped talking, Tsunade was able to infer what Hinata Ichiro had not yet said from what Hinata Ichiro had already said.
"You're going to say it's broken!" Tsunade said with a calm face.
Seeing Tsunade take the initiative to say the next person's name, Hinata Ichiro no longer has any scruples.
"Because the position of Hokage used to be the dream of Rope Tree and Kato Tsuna!" Hinata Ichiro looked at Tsunade, gritted his teeth, and said.
Tsunade said indifferently: "Ichiro, whether it's a rope tree or a broken one, the original intention of wanting to be the Hokage was not for the power and honor that the Hokage carried, but to protect the village!"
"So, the important thing is to protect the village, not the power and honor that Hokage's position carries!"
"I'm sorry!" Hinata Ichiro lowered his head and said softly, "Tsunade, once the reform of the national system is implemented, I will deliberately transfer Konoha's power!"
Hinata Ichiro's whispering made Tsunade stunned.
Immediately, Tsunade asked with confusion, "Why?"
"Ichiro, don't you want to protect Konoha?"
"No!" Hinata Ichiro looked up at Tsunade and said, "I want to protect Konoha!"
"Then why did you deliberately transfer Konoha's power?" asked Tsunade.
"Tsunade, whether it's you, the first Hokage, or anyone else, they all think that if you protect the village, you will protect the country of fire!" Hinata Ichiro said, "However, this is not the case!"
"What are the facts?" asked Tsunade.
"Only by protecting the country can we protect the village!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"Whether it's guarding the village and protecting the country of fire, or protecting the country of fire and protecting the village, isn't it the same thing!" Tsunade said with some puzzlement.
"That's not the case!" Hinata Ichiro shook his head and said.
"What's the difference between the two?" asked Tsunade.
"In your eyes, Konoha may be special!" Hinata Ichiro said, "but in my eyes, Konoha is no different from the other towns in the Fire Nation - Konoha is just one of the many towns in the Fire Nation!"
"For the Fire Country, the Fire Country can still afford to lose Konoha!"
"But for Konoha, if you lose the Fire Country, Konoha will have nothing!"
"So, protecting Konoha is not the same as guarding the Fire Country - only by guarding the Fire Country can you protect Konoha!"
"Taurate!" said Tsunade.
Hearing Tsunade say this, Hinata Ichiro asked, "Tsunade, what is the foundation of Konoha's existence?"
"Ninja!" said Tsunade.
"You're wrong!" Hinata Ichiro said, "The foundation of Konoha is not ninja!"
"What is the foundation of Konoha's existence?" asked Tsunade.
"It's one ordinary and ordinary Konoha villager after another!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Without one ordinary and ordinary Konoha villager after another, Konoha would have become a barren ruin long ago!"
Hinata's words made Tsunade stunned.
Looking at the stunned Tsunade, Hinata Ichiro continued: "For Konoha, the foundation of Konoha's existence is the villagers of Konoha Village!"
"In the same way, for the Fire Nation, the foundation of the Fire Nation's existence is the Fire Nation's people!"
"If you want to protect Konoha, you must first protect the Land of Fire!"
"If you want to protect the Fire Country, you must first protect the Fire Country citizens!"
"We can't wait for the calamity that befalls the people of the Fire Nation to make amends!"
"When man-made disasters strike, we should act in time to protect the people of the Fire Country!"
"If you want to protect the citizens of the Fire Nation in time, every town in the Fire Nation must have a certain amount of strength!"
"I understand why you're pulling away from Konoha's power!" Tsunade said.
Seeing that Tsunade understood, Hinata Ichiro asked again, "Tsunade, what is a ninja?"
"Ninja!?" Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "Ninja are people who abide by the rules and complete tasks!"
"A ninja is a person who restrains his emotions and makes good judgments!"
"The ninja in your eyes is not the ninja in my eyes!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"What do you think of a ninja?" asked Tsunade.
"Ninja - the person who is for the people!" said Hinata Ichiro, "In my eyes, a ninja is and only a person of the people!"
Hinata's definition of a ninja froze Tsunade.
After a while.
"Blade hearts for the people!!" Tsunade muttered to himself.
Xu had never heard the word 'ninja' defined like this, and Tsunade couldn't help but repeat Hinata Ichiro's definition of a ninja.
"Anyone who cares only for selfish interests and disregards justice is not worthy of being called a ninja!" Hinata Ichiro said, "because these people don't have a blade heart!"
"Because these men are not for the people!"
"Your words are deafening!" Tsunade said with emotion as he looked at Ichiro Hinata.
"I'm a man who aspires to be a ninja!" Hinata Ichiro said, "but to this day, I haven't been sure if I've achieved my ambition!"
"Why isn't it so decided?" asked Tsunade.
"The ambition to become a ninja is temporary, but the ambition to become a ninja is eternal!" Hinata Ichiro said, "A person who aspires to become a ninja will not be able to confirm whether he has achieved his ambition until the last moment of his life!"
"It's too heavy to achieve an ambition in your life!" said Tsunade.
Hinata Ichiro looked at Tsunade and said slowly: "The most precious thing in a person is life - there is only one life for a person!"
"A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his inaction!"
"In this way, after his death, he will be able to proudly proclaim to men, 'My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world—to fight for the happiness of the people!'"
After Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, Tsunade's eyes burst into bright light.
