Chapter 312: Chess Pieces (1)

"Ichiro, are you sure that there is such a treasure in Myoki Mountain that can bring people back to life?" As soon as Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, the third Hokage immediately asked in surprise, "Why haven't I ever heard of Jiraiya!"

"Hokage-sama, maybe Jiraiya's seniors don't know that there is a treasure in Myoki Mountain that can bring people back to life!" Hinata Ichiro said, "After all, people who have such a treasure that can bring people back to life will not hype it up!"

"That's just as well!" the third Hokage nodded and said, "Treasures that can bring people back to life really won't be hyped up!"

Speaking of this, the third Hokage asked again: "Ichiro, since you didn't even know that Myoki Mountain had such a treasure that could bring people back to life, then how did you know that Myoki Mountain had such a treasure that could bring people back to life?"

"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry!" Hinata Ichiro said apologetically.

Hearing Hinata Ichiro's apologetic words, the three generations of Hokage knew that Hinata Ichiro did not intend to reveal the source.

Since the focus of the three generations of Hokage was not on Hinata Ichiro's sources, the three generations of Hokage did not continue to entangle, but asked separately: "Ichiro, have you borrowed such a treasure from the Great Toad Immortal that can bring people back to life?"

"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Hokage-sama, I have borrowed such a treasure from the Great Toad Immortal that can bring people back to life!"

"In order to borrow such a treasure that can bring people back to life, I have paid a very huge price - in this way, I have obtained the right to use such a treasure that can bring people back to life from the hands of the Great Toad Immortal!"

"Ichiro, I want to take a look at that treasure that can bring people back to life, is that okay?" Hearing that Hinata Ichiro did borrow a treasure that could bring people back to life, Tsunade immediately asked.

Hearing that Tsunade wanted to take a look at the treasure that could bring people back to life, the three generations of Hokage's expression moved, and a look of expectation appeared on his face.

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sensei, although I have obtained the right to use that treasure, that treasure is still in the hands of the Great Toad Immortal!" Hinata Ichiro looked at the expressions on the faces of the three generations of Hokage and Tsunade, and said, "Only when I use that treasure, will the Great Toad Immortal hand over that treasure to me!"

"That's it!" Hearing Hinata Ichiro say this, Tsunade said with a disappointed face, "Ichiro, I thought I would be able to see that treasure that can bring people back to life right now!"

Seeing a look of disappointment on Tsunade's face, Hinata Ichiro hurriedly said, "Tsunade-sensei, when I use that treasure that can bring people back to life, you can watch from the sidelines!"

"Okay!" As soon as Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, Tsunade immediately restrained the disappointed look on his face and said with a happy face, "Ichiro, you have to remember what you said to me now!"

"When you use that treasure that can bring people back to life, be sure to ask me to come to the side and watch it up close!"

"Tsunade-sensei, don't worry, I remember!" Hinata Ichiro agreed.

After promising to finish Tsunade, Hinata Ichiro naturally will not forget the three generations of Hokage beside him.

Therefore, Hinata Ichiro immediately asked the three generations of Hokage: "If Hokage-sama has leisure time at that time, and is willing, then Hokage-sama can also see that treasure that can bring people back to life up close!"

"Okay!" said the third Hokage, "Ichiro, if I have time at that time, I must take a look at that treasure that can bring people back to life!"

Seeing that the third Hokage accepted the invitation, Hinata Ichiro asked, "Regarding my control of the two Yugi, will Hokage-sama be able to approve it?"

"Yes!" the third Hokage thought for a moment and said, "Ichiro, if you can really save the two-tailed human pillar force of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, then I will promise you this one thing that the two-tailed human pillar force of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village is under your control!"

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!" Hinata Ichiro thanked with a smile.

……

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After some time.

Or Tsunade's office.

At this time, in Tsunade's office, the three generations of Hokage had left, leaving only Tsunade and Hinata Ichiro.

"Tsunade-sensei, is it possible to get the power to recruit people from Hokage-sama?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Ichiro, don't ask me!" Tsunade shook his head and said, "I don't know if the old man will agree to this request of yours!"

"After all, you are asking the old man to ask for power again, and the result is good or bad, it all depends on how the old man thinks you ask for power!"

Speaking of this, Tsunade asked suspiciously, "Ichiro, according to what I know about you, you are not the kind of person who likes power!

"Tsunade-sensei, although I'm not the kind of person who likes power, I can't have no power at all!" Hinata Ichiro said, "After all, I don't want to be a pawn that can be sacrificed at will!"

"Ichiro, you are the heir of the Hyuga family and my disciple!" Tsunade said, "No one can see you as a pawn that can be sacrificed at will!"

"Tsunade-sensei, when the higher-ups decide to sacrifice you, no matter how powerful your background is, it's all in vain!" Hinata Ichiro shook his head and said, "Because all you have is a background - since the background you have can protect you, it will naturally be able to abandon you!"

"Therefore, if people want to go on the road of life, they can rely on the background, but they need to become the background you relied on step by step!"

"......" Tsunade didn't know how to comment on Hinata Ichiro's words, so he had to be speechless.

Hinata Ichiro continued: "Tsunade-sensei, I'll give you a simple example with the power of the human pillar - in the ninja world, the five major countries and the Takikure Ninja Village all have one or two tailed beasts!"

"In other words, there are one or two human pillars in the Five Great Powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village!"

"The tailed beast has been regarded as an important strategic weapon by the five major powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village, and that human pillar power has become a symbol of the status and strength of the five major countries and the Takikushi Ninja Village!"

"According to common sense, even if the human pillar force as a symbol of status and strength does not enjoy glory and preferential treatment, but you can't treat the human pillar force as a symbol of status and strength coldly!"

"However, which of the five great powers and the human pillar of the Takikushi Ninja Village grew up in an environment full of kindness?"

"Yes, there will be disasters when the human pillar force can't suppress the tailed beast, but you can't push all the disasters caused by the tailed beast onto the human pillar force!"

"After all, not everyone can be as powerful as the original Hokage and Madara Uchiha!"

"So, it's a very normal thing that the human pillar force can't suppress the tailed beast at some point!"

"However, in order to ensure that the human pillar force will not defect, and in order to make full use of the strength of the human pillar force, while monitoring and restricting the human pillar force's every move, they deliberately indulge people's gossip and allow people to discriminate against the human pillar force coldly- In this way, not only can people have a place where they can vent their grievances without pointing their resentment at the leadership of the Five Great Powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village, but also can make people who have nowhere to escape and no one to kiss have no choice to firmly grasp the little bit of light and warmth that is given by the leaders of the Five Great Powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village!"

"What is this?"

"Could it be that the leaders of the Five Great Powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village will not be able to control the public opinion under their rule?"

"Could it be that the leadership of the Five Great Powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village doesn't understand that the strength of the human pillar and the strength of the tailed beast are not equal in the first place?"

"Could it be that the leadership of the Five Great Powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village doesn't know that the disaster caused by the Tailed Beast is not the responsibility of Human Pillar Force alone?"

"No!"

"The leadership of the Five Great Powers and the Takikure Ninja Village is able to control public opinion under their rule!"

"The leadership of the Five Great Powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village also understand that the strength of the human pillar force and the strength of the tailed beast are not equal!"

"The Five Great Powers and the Takikushi Ninja Village know better that the disaster caused by the tailed beast is not the responsibility of human pillar force alone!"

"Don't tell me anything about 'hardships and hardships, you will succeed'!"

"It's not like that at all!"

"The reason why the Five Great Powers and the Takikure Ninja Village did this, even if I don't say it, I think Tsunade Sensei knows it!"

Speaking of this, Hinata Ichiro paused, a complicated look appeared on his face, and said in his mouth: "Tsunade-sensei, if you say that when you are selected as a human pillar force, the background of human pillar power is not strong, forget it - after all, this is a ninja world where people eat people, and people with no background and no strength want to live and see the colorful world, so they can only exchange it for silently bearing the pain of man!"

"But isn't the background of the human pillar force really not strong?"

"No!"

"The background of the human pillar force can be said to be one of the best among the five major countries and the Takikushi Ninja Village - after all, the human pillar force is generally held by the spouse, brother, other blood relatives and the heir of the leader of the five major countries and the Takikushi Ninja Village!"

"But when the higher-ups decide to sacrifice, can someone with such a powerful background resist?"

"Can't!"

"These people who are discriminated against can only endure in silence!"

"Some people may say that the matter of subordinating the personal interests of the human pillar to the collective interests of the country and the ninja village is deserved, honorable, and there can be no complaints!"

"Yes! That's right!"

"The fact that the personal interests of the human pillar force should be subordinated to the collective interests of the country and the ninja village is indeed deserved, it is indeed glorious, and there can be no complaints!"

"But you can't let the heroes shed blood and tearsβ€”they're the loveliest people!"

After Hinata Ichiro's words fell, there was a silence in Tsunade's office.

After the silence, Tsunade said dryly, "Ichiro, what you said is just about other countries and ninja villages!"

"I'm sure nothing like this will happen in our Konoha world!"

"Tsunade-sensei, why are you so sure that nothing like this will happen to Konoha?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Ichiro, the reason why I'm so sure that nothing like this will happen to Konoha is because when Grandma became a human pillar force, she was not discriminated against and gossiped by the people in the village!"

"Tsunade-sensei, whether it's Mito-sama or Uzumaki Kushina, the reason why the two of them haven't been cold-eyed and gossiped by the people in the village after becoming the Nine-Tails Pillar Force is because the physique of the Uzumaki clan naturally restrains the Nine-Tails!" Hinata Ichiro said, "The Nine-Tails sealed in the bodies of Mito-sama and Uzumaki Kushina can't become a disaster for Konoha!"

"Of course, if that's all there is to it, that's not enough - after all, there will always be ignorant people who are worried about when the Nine-Tails will break through the seal and spread gossip!"

"Therefore, another reason why Mito-sama is not discriminated against and gossiped by the people of the village is that Mito-sama is the wife of the first Hokage, and he is cared for by the legacy of the first Hokage in Konoha Village!"

"And another reason why Uzumaki Kushina is not discriminated against and gossiped about by the people in the village is that except for a limited number of Konoha high-level officials, other people in Konoha Village don't know that Uzumaki Kushina is the new Nine-Tails Pillar Force!"

"But it's not the same when Naruto Uzumaki, the son of Uzumaki Kushina, becomes the Nine-Tails Pillar Force!"

"First of all, when Uzumaki Kushina was producing Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails were released by someone with ulterior motives, which led to the occurrence of the Nine-Tails attack on the village two years ago, which was quite sacrificed!"

"Secondly, the fact that Naruto Uzumaki became the new Nine-Tails Pillar Force was witnessed by most of the ninjas in Konoha, which in turn led to the fact that the secret of Naruto Uzumaki becoming the new Nine-Tails Pillar Force could not be limited to just a few Konoha high-level officials!"

"Tsunade-sensei, if these two points are combined, Naruto Uzumaki, who will become the new Nine-Tails Pillar Force, will definitely suffer from the cold discrimination and gossip of the Konoha villagers in the future like other countries and ninja villages!"

"As for the Hokage-sama and Konoha high-level practices, according to my estimate, except for issuing a gag order, Konoha will not deliberately guide public opinion to defend Naruto Uzumaki!"

"After all, the Nine-Tails attack on the village two years ago not only directly led to the sacrifice of a large number of ninjas in Konoha, but also indirectly led to this war between Konoha and Yunyin Ninja Village!"

"Therefore, Konoha needs Naruto Uzumaki, who is the pillar force of the Nine-Tails, to be an outlet for resentment!"

"Only in this way will Konoha be able to extricate himself from the Nine-Tails Attack on the Village - as soon as the Nine-Tails Attack on the Village happened, the injured Konoha villagers automatically stood on the opposite side of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, and Konoha would not offend a large number of villagers in Konoha Village for Naruto Uzumaki alone!"
