"Tsunade-sensei, I thought you would blame me for talking to someone about something beyond my authority without permission!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"How so!" Tsunade said, "Ichiro, I'm too late to be happy that you can improvise on the battlefield for Konoha to fight for the benefits!"

"How could I blame you for talking to someone about something beyond your authority without permission!"

"Moreover, although you have not been involved in this war between Konoha and the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village for a short time, the impact has been huge!"

"Ichiro, in this war between Konoha and the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, your merits are very great!"

"Tsunade-sensei, if you compliment me again, then I'll be proud!" Hinata Ichiro said with a smile.

"Hehe!" Hearing this, Tsunade stretched out his finger and tapped Hinata Ichiro's forehead, and said with a smile, "Ichiro, I am very happy that you can know that you are not proud!"

Speaking of this, Tsunade paused and asked, "Ichiro, can the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village Yao buy it from those two mercenaries?"

Knowing that Tsunade wanted to buy Yunyin Ninja Village Yao from Nagato, Hinata Ichiro smiled bitterly and said, "Tsunade-sensei, this is impossible!"

"Ichiro, about the purchase of the Eight-Tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, did you just ask about that mercenary?" asked Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sensei, I didn't ask the mercenary about the purchase of the Yunyin Ninja Village Eighty!" Hinata Ichiro said, "But according to the information I have learned, that mercenary will never sell the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village Eight Tails to Konoha!"

Speaking of this, Hinata Ichiro said with a solemn face: "Tsunade-sensei, I hope you don't fight the idea of Yunyin Ninja Village Eight Tails in the hands of that mercenary!"

"Because we Konoha can't afford the wrath of that mercenary right now!"

Seeing Hinata Ichiro's solemn look and listening to the meaning of Hinata Ichiro's words, Tsunade was stunned, and then asked solemnly: "Ichiro, who is that mercenary you hired?"

"What is it that Konoha can't afford the wrath of that mercenary now?"

"Tsunade-sensei, the mercenary who holds the Eight Tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village in his hand is the number one master in the ninja world today!" Hearing Tsunade's inquiry, Hinata Ichiro explained, "Moreover, that mercenary is not the number one master in the general sense!"

"If that mercenary wants to destroy Konoha, then Konoha has no other way but to accept the fact that he was destroyed - whether it is the three generations of Hokage-sama, Jiraiya seniors, or the rest of Konoha, it is impossible for that mercenary to be the opponent of that mercenary!"

"That mercenary is a real existence that destroys a country by one person!"

"Ichiro, isn't that mercenary invincible?" asked Tsunade rhetorically.

"That's right!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Tsunade-sensei, although I know some loopholes in the mercenary's mind from some sources, whether the loopholes in the mercenary's mind can be exploited or not are two different things!"

"Therefore, you are not wrong when you say that mercenary is invincible!"

After saying that, Hinata Ichiro thought to himself: "Even if I can summon Yahiko's soul back to the present world from the Pure Land, I don't know if Yahiko's soul is willing to persuade Nagato after returning to the present world, and whether he can persuade Nagato!"

"After all, when Konoha's Shimura Danzou and Yuyin Ninja Village's Hanzo teamed up to deal with the Akatsuki organization under the leadership of Yahiko, the negative impact on Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan was very huge!"

"Especially Nagato, Konoha has inflicted great damage on Nagato twice - the first time was when the Konoha ninja accidentally killed Nagato's parents, and the second time was when the Konoha ninja conspiracy to force Yahiko to death!"

Thinking of this, Hinata Ichiro advised: "Tsunade-sensei, if some people in Konoha are dizzy and want to snatch the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village Yao in the hands of that mercenary, I hope you can use the name of the Senju clan of the Mori to stop it!"

"Of course, I'll also use the name of the Hyuga clan to stop it!"

"I'm not kidding about the strength of that mercenary!"

Hearing Hinata Ichiro say this, Tsunade finally knew that what Hinata Ichiro said was true.

So, Tsunade agreed: "Ichiro, don't worry! If some people really get dizzy and want to snatch the Yunyin Ninja Village Yao in the hands of that mercenary, I will use the name of the Senju clan of the forest to stop it!"

"Although the people of the Senju clan have passed away, the influence of the Sennokuju clan in the land of fire has never weakened!"

Speaking of this, Tsunade asked with some concern, "Ichiro, what if that mercenary clashes with us Konoha?"

"Tsunade-sensei, there is a real genius ninja growing up in Konoha!" Hinata Ichiro said, "As long as this true genius ninja can grow up, then Konoha will have the confidence to fight against that mercenary!"

"Compared to that true genius ninja, everyone except for the first Hokage, including me, pales in comparison!"

When Tsunade heard the first half of what Hinata Ichiro said, he thought Hinata Ichiro was boasting, but after listening to what Hinata Ichiro said, Tsunade realized that Hinata Ichiro was not referring to Hinata Ichiro.

Therefore, out of the desire to know who the genius ninja Hinata Ichiro was talking about, Tsunade carefully searched his mind for the Konoha ninja he knew.

But after thinking about it, Tsunade still can't think of anyone who can fit Hinata's definition of a genius ninja - since the death of the first Hokage, Tsunade really can't think of anyone else who can compare to the first Hokage!

So, Tsunade asked, "Ichiro, is the true genius ninja you are talking about, Konoha really exists?"

"When a genius ninja grows up, he will definitely be famous in Konoha!"

"And among the Konoha genius ninjas I know, I really haven't heard of that Konoha ninja who can be compared to the original Hokage!"

"Uchiha Itachi!" Seeing that Tsunade couldn't think of who the genius ninja he was talking about, Hinata Ichiro replied, "Tsunade-sensei, the real genius ninja I mean is the eldest son of the head of the Uchiha clan - Uchiha Itachi!"

"He!?" Tsunade said with a frown, "Ichiro, judging from the operation that sent the Misty Hidden Ninja Village, Uchiha Itachi's excellence is undeniable!"

"But in the operation that sent to the Fog Hidden Ninja Village, Uchiha Itachi's performance was only excellent, and there was nothing else particularly outstanding!"

Speaking of this, Tsunade paused and asked, "Ichiro, why do you have such a high opinion of Uchiha Itachi!"

"Tsunade-sensei, since the establishment of Konoha, starting with the Uchiha clan led by Madara Uchiha, and ending with the Uchiha clan led by Uchiha Fugaku, although the Uchiha clan has produced many excellent ninjas, they are just some Hitomi ninjas!" Hinata Ichiro said, "But Uchiha Itachi is different, he is not just a ninja with Hitomitsu, he is also a ninja with real Hitomi power!"

"Uchiha Itachi's gaze is as far-reaching as the original Hokage!"

Speaking of this, Hinata Ichiro looked at Tsunade and asked, "Tsunade-sensei, do you know what the Will of Fire that was handed down from the original Hokage?"

"Where the leaves fly, fire grows. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new leaves to sprout!" Tsunade said solemnly, "Young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation should trust and protect them. The sacrifices of the older generation are not meaningless, but they will inspire the younger ones and become the pillars of the future!"

"Tsunade-sensei, do you have anything else to say about the will of fire besides that?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Ichiro, that's pretty much it!" Tsunade said after a moment's thought.

"Tsunade-sensei, the understanding of the Will of Fire that you just mentioned was taught to you by the three generations of Hokage!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Yes!" Tsunade said, "Ichiro, my understanding of the Will of Fire was taught to me by the old man!"

"Alas-" Hearing this, Hinata Ichiro sighed and said, "Tsunade-sensei, you and the three generations of Hokage's understanding of the will of fire is just a façade!"

"And the true essence of the Will of Fire, you and the three generations of Hokage don't know - it seems that the Will of Fire has not really been passed down!"

Hearing Hinata Ichiro say this, Tsunade's heart moved, and he remembered that he and the three generations of Hokage were talking about Hinata Ichiro at the beginning.

So, Tsunade asked, "Ichiro, why do you say that?"

Hinata Ichiro said, "Tsunade-sensei, in the eyes of you and the three generations of Hokage, the will of fire is to hope that there will be no barriers between clans in the village, and they will work together for the village. Everyone in every clan should not be limited to sacrificing for the interests of the clan, but should focus on the overall situation and contribute to the village. Protect the compatriots in the village, everyone in the village is a family, and there will be no hierarchy between people because of the excellent and the ordinary!"

"But that's not the essence of the Will of Fire!"

"Tsunade-sensei, the essence of the Will of Fire is only two words - peace!"

"And the so-called peace is not the peace of one family, nor the peace of one village and one country, but the real peace of the world!"

"The reason why the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha wanted to establish the Konoha Ninja Village was because the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha had both endured the pain of the Warring States Period and understood the darkness of the Warring States Period!"

"So, through the efforts and inspiration of the first Hokage, Madara Uchiha withheld his hatred - the Senju clan led by the first Hokage and the Uchiha clan led by Madara Uchiha signed a peace agreement between the two clans!"

"Then, on the groundbreaking advice of the first Hokage, two of the most powerful families in the ninja world, the Senju clan of the Mori and the Uchiha clan, were jointly employed in the Land of Fire, and Konoha was born!"

"In the eyes of the first Hokage, Konoha is the cradle of the realization of the will of fire, so the will of fire will have the same interpretation as the original three generations of Hokage - after all, the real peace in the world is not something that can be completed by one or two generations, it requires the joint efforts of many generations!"

"In other words, Konoha is the Will of Fire, but the Will of Fire is more than just Konoha!"

"Since the death of the first Hokage, although the second Hokage who succeeded to the throne is still a member of the Senju clan of Mori and the younger brother of the first Hokage, the second Hokage not only does not have the broad-mindedness of the first Hokage, but is also limited by Konoha His horizons!"

"In the eyes of the second Hokage, the Konoha established by the first Hokage is the Will of Fire, and the Will of Fire is only the Konoha established by the first Hokage!"

"So, this kind of teaching started from the second generation of Hokage and continued until the fourth generation of Hokage, and it was passed down among the Hokage's masters and apprentices!"

"In other words, the third generation Hokage, the fourth generation Hokage, and the Konoha high-level who were deeply influenced by the second generation Hokage have all forgotten the true essence of the will of fire created by the first Hokage!"

Speaking of this, Hinata Ichiro paused, moistened his lips, and continued: "Uchiha Itachi is different from the people of the Uchiha clan, different from the people of other families, and even different from the second Hokage, the third Hokage, the fourth Hokage, and the Konoha high-level - although he has not seen the first Hokage, he has truly inherited the essence of the will of fire created by the first Hokage!"

"Itachi Uchiha is a true genius – in the days I've spent studying and spending time with Itachi Uchiha, I've found Itachi to be a smart, sensible, and thoughtful person!"

"Not only that, but today's Uchiha Itachi can also think from the perspective of 'shadow'!"

"Plus in the Third Ninja World War, Uchiha Itachi has seen too much killing and death!"

"Therefore, Uchiha Itachi's mind has never been bound by one family, one village, one country!"

"Once such a genius ninja with true pupil power opens the pupil of his own mental portrayal, the writing wheel eye, then the height he can reach in the future is definitely not comparable to the people of the world!"

"That's why I said that as long as the Uchiha Itachi can grow up, then Konoha will have the confidence to fight against that mercenary - after all, the more broad-minded the person, the more likely he is to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world!"

"It's just that, although Uchiha Itachi's heart has been barrier-free, compared to me who is traveling lightly, Uchiha Itachi is still a little difficult - after all, the Konoha environment and the small environment of the Uchiha clan have limited the development of the Uchiha Itachi born from the Uchiha clan!"

"If it weren't for that, Uchiha Itachi is really the only person to serve as the future Hokage!"

(The so-called Konoha environment refers to the fact that under the influence of the second Hokage, Konoha guards against the Uchiha clan; the so-called Uchiha clan environment refers to the Uchiha clan since they took charge of the police department, and they have been unwilling to let their family be excluded from the core of Konoha since they took charge of the police department!)
