Chapter Twenty-Six: Konoha Controversy
With a squeak, Kakashi opened the door to the small conference room, and the three Hokage and Mito Menyan walked in, and Kakashi leaned out and closed the door.
Bo Feng Shuimen stood up and said with a smile: "Three generations of adults, Elder Menyan, you are finally here." The reason for the meeting, Kakashi has already told you on the way. ”
The three generations of Hokage were as amiable as ever, smiling and nodding, while Mito Menyan looked so anxious that he didn't have time to sit down and open the invitation, and looked at it at a glance.
"Establish a national organization that overrides the five ninja powers to mediate the conflicts in the ninja world...... Damn Uchiha, it's really a curse!"
Mito Menyan's low, angry voice reverberated through the conference room, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the curtain on his old face, forming a spectrum of light and darkness, making his dark and solemn expression even heavier.
"Arrogant thoughts, huh?" said the third Hokage, sitting peacefully on the main seat, and smiled.
Mito Menyan frowned and said, "Sarufei, you still laugh at this time, haven't you realized the seriousness of the matter?"
"That's right, it is foreseeable that as soon as this post of the Uchiha clan came out, the ninja world, which had been calm for fifteen years, would not be peaceful anymore. "Bo Feng Shui Doorway.
"Hmph! This Uchiha clan is really unconscious! You should have listened to me at that time and strangled the signs of disaster in the cradle!" Mito Menyan slapped the table and said angrily, "Now, you can see it, Uchiha's ambition!"
"Calm down, Menyan. The third Hokage said, "Actually, on the day Uchiha left, Mingyu had already told me. ”
Mito Menyan was furious and said, "In that case, why don't you stop them?"
Bo Feng Shuimen also raised his eyebrows.
The three generations of Hokage took away the cigarette gun, spit out a mouthful of thick mist, and said with a smile: "Menyan, the footsteps of young people, we old men can't keep up, in that case, why bother to stop it? ”
Bo Feng Shui Men thoughtfully.
"Three generations, what are you talking about! I think you're just an old fool!" Mito Menyan rebuked angrily, "This invitation letter is clearly intended to coerce small countries, challenge our five powers, and fight for the political status of the newly established Uchiha Ninja Village!"
The third generation Hokage smiled and asked, "Fourth generation, do you think so too?"
Bo Fengshuimen shook his head and said, "You just said that this is what Mingyu meant. According to what I know about Mingyu, he is not a power-hungry person, and he is not interested in political struggles and the pursuit of power. So I think, as the invitation says, that building peace and reshaping the world is his true ideal. ”
The third generation Hokage nodded, and asked again, "So, fourth generation, what about your attitude?"
Bo Feng Shuimen was surprised, listening to the meaning of the three generations of Hokage, this matter seemed to be decided by himself. He pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Mingyu's ideal is actually the will of the first Hokage, to create a harmonious world, a world without war, is the ideal that the first Hokage pursued all his life, and it is also the goal of our Konoha ninja struggle, and it is also the wish of all sentient beings." I would venture to say that from a personal standpoint, I would like to praise this great ideal, but ......"
"It's just that from the village's standpoint, we should oppose this plan, right?" said the third Hokage.
Bo Feng Shuimen nodded slowly.
"Watergate, do you have any doubts? Why, when you were in your heart in favor of this plan, came to the opposite conclusion when you think about it from the village's point of view?"
"This ......"
Watergate's brow gradually furrowed, the answer was ahead, he seemed to be within reach, but no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't get any closer, as if he was separated by a veil.
"Watergate, this is where you are inferior to Mingyu. The third Hokage smiled, "Mingyu's pattern is so big, among the ninjas I've seen in my life, there is no one like it. At the age of seven, he already had the world in mind, focusing on history and reality, and thinking about the meaning of ninja's existence. This way of thinking is exactly the way of thinking of the Hokage. However, Watergate, years of Hokage's career have gradually limited our limitations and solidified our thinking.
I've been thinking about this question for years, and Mingyu's answer inspired me. At the beginning, the first Hokage created the model of one country and one village, ending the chaotic Warring States period. However, the war did not end, and the ninja village replaced the ninja as the protagonist of the battlefield, and the scale of the war increased day by day. And the ninja village model has developed so far, and it has gradually shown its drawbacks, the blood mist policy of fog and the roots of Konoha are all manifestations of the dark side of the village. To this day, we have no way to solve the problems that we have created, let alone peacemaking. So, I think that gathering the strength of the entire ninja world to form a powerful harmonizing force can be a way to solve the problem. ”
With a loud bang, Mito Menyan rose up and shouted angrily, "Sarutobi, do you know what you're talking about?!"
The third Hokage took a long puff of cigarette, closed his eyes, slowly exhaled the smoke, opened his eyes and looked directly at Menyan and said, "Don't let the village limit your vision! ”
"You are betraying the village! betraying the country! You still have the face to say!?" Menyan shouted.
"I've already said that agreeing to the establishment of the Ninja United Nations does not mean disbanding Konoha, the two are not in conflict, do you understand what I mean?
"You-"
"Don't get excited. Seeing that things were not harmonious, the four generations of Hokage hurriedly came out to persuade peace, "We are discussing the problem now, and excitement is useless, please calm down." ”
Mito Gate exclaimed, "Mitomon, I haven't said anything about you yet! You just said your personal position, as the Hokage, can you have your own position? The village's position is your position!"
The fourth generation Hokage said helplessly: "Elder Menyan, I'm just talking about things. ”
"Don't say it again! This matter is not negotiable! I don't approve of this plan, and Konoha doesn't approve of this plan! What ninja United Nations plan, what peacemaking, it's just a small country to gain self-respect, that's a nice thing to say! The Uchiha gang are just white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, how can they be so kind and sacrifice themselves for others?" Mito Menyan sneered.
"Menyan!" said the third Hokage frowned, "Pay attention to your words, don't look at things with prejudice, as the leader of the village, you can't be so narrow-minded!"
"Are you embarrassed to call yourself the leader? I think you're about to be brainwashed by that kid Mingyu and become a traitor!" Mito Menyan snorted coldly.
"Menyan!you—" The third Hokage sighed, his tone softened, and he said helplessly, "I know that Koharu was hurt by Mingyu, and you are resentful. But one yard is one yard, now it is a matter of the future of the ninja world, the rise or fall of the village, we must not be emotional!"
Mito Menyan was still incessant, and the two of them talked badly before persuading him to come down.
The quarrel ended, and an eerie calm fell in the conference room. The situation is clear, the two high-ranking people, the three generations of Hokage, support attending the inaugural meeting of the Ninja United Nations, while the advisor elder Mito Menyan is categorically opposed.
Now, the pressure was back on Bo Feng Shuimen, and he felt two eyes focused on himself.
The third generation Hokage spoke: "Watergate, we are old, we can't keep up with the times, we can't mix with the world of you young people, and we old people shouldn't decide your future. It's up to you to decide. You have to remember to take a long-term view and think openly. ”
Mito Menyan also spoke: "Mizuto, you have to remember that you are the Hokage of Konoha, don't forget your responsibility!"
Bo Fengshuimen suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he couldn't make a decision for a while, frowning and pondering.
For or against, that's the question.
Silence is not a calm lake, but a dark cloud brewing storm, so dull that it is suffocating, and now, Konoha's fate will be decided by him with a word, and once he speaks, whether it is for or in favor, it will cause a storm.
This dark cloud is hanging over the ninja world.
Is this the rain of blood? Or is it the curtain of the golden sky?
With a squeak, the embarrassing silence was broken, the three of them turned around, the door opened, and Obito strode in, and said urgently: "Three adults, Yun Yin is in a hurry, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow will hold a meeting of the Five Shadows, and the time is half a month later." ”
The three of them looked at each other with different expressions.
