Konoha.

An infighting is inevitable.

said that it was to be hidden, but there was no way to cover up such a big thing, and those spies who were hiding in Konoha quickly learned the general situation.

The information was then sent back to their village.

Major ninja villages.

Except for the Sand Hidden Village, which was leaderless due to the loss of the Wind Shadow, the rest of the ninja villages have sent people to investigate the relevant matters and also track down the whereabouts of Hinata Hanabi.

They weren't going to let go of this opportunity.

It's just that if they know that it's the boy who is with Hinata Hanabi, they don't know how they will feel, maybe they will just give up?

It's not impossible.

Of course, it is also possible that the shadows of the various ninja villages came out in person, especially the earth shadow, thunder shadow, and water shadow, and they are probably all thinking about defeating Qingming Yixue.

Tsuchikage and Thunder Shadow are okay to say.

Mizukage's words, Qingming wrote "RBQ" on her face at the beginning, this girl whose marriage was delayed indefinitely, probably wanted to kill Qingming.

In fact, there is still some gossip in the ninja world.

In the world of illusion, no one except the person concerned knows what happened, and maybe this Mizukage-sama has already been trained.

There are still many versions of this matter that are secretly circulating.

It's unbearable.

Of course, now this Mizukage-sama doesn't know the news of that young man's reappearance in the ninja world, so there is not much movement in the Mist Hidden Ninja Village, and they are all waiting.

Wait for the results of the Konoha infighting.

This is important.

The current Konoha is already a bit strong on the outside, and if there is a loss of overall strength because of this struggle for power, it will be their opportunity.

If all goes well.

But it's a pity that Tsunade won't give them this kind of opportunity, in fact, they know it, but they still can't help but have some expectations, expecting Tsunade to make a mistake.

There is no way, Konoha is too powerful, if it is not for their own internal problems, it will be difficult to break through from the outside, and the three ninja world wars are the best example.

Let's not talk about the past.

This time, if Konoha really makes a mistake, it is likely to trigger the Fourth Ninja World War, and the major ninja villages that have recovered their vitality will not waste their opportunities in vain.

Tsunade understands this very well, so she doesn't plan to force Shimura Danzou to jump off the wall, but just plans to deprive him of his power and let him retire.

Including the Advisory Panel.

To be honest, the first and second generations were fine at that time, but by the third generation of Hokage, the existence of such an advisory group and root appeared, which greatly weakened the power of the Hokage.

Originally, the second generation of Hokage created the Shadow Department, which can be said to further stabilize and strengthen the power of the Hokage, but the third generation of Hokage divided the power.

It can only be said that when he was young, he believed too much in a few of his classmates, which is why he caused today's situation, which is a serious political mistake of the three generations of Hokage.

The current Tsunade is here to correct this mistake.

"Everybody......

In a meeting limited to Konoha high-level attendance, Tsunade proposed to deprive Shimura of Danzo's powers, and of course, it was not enough to attack civilians alone.

However, the shadows have already brought back the "evidence" of Shimura Danzo's communication with foreign enemies, including deliberately leaking the whereabouts of Hinata, sending people to attack Qingming and Hyuga, and other evidence.

"What do you think?"

Relying on these, he can deal a fatal blow to Shimura Danzo, and if this evidence is released, the saliva of the people alone can drown him.

But will Shimura Tunzo succumb so easily?

No.

"I'm stepping down and retiring."

Unexpectedly, he did not defend himself too much, but took the initiative to "give up" the power in his hands, in fact, it was just a trick to retreat.

This is not the first time he has been disempowered.

In the past, the three generations of Hokage had also stripped him of his power and ordered the root to be disbanded, but he eventually regained power and the root continued to be active.

It's not a secret.

“……”

Several high-ranking officials who knew about this looked at each other, wanting to remind Tsunade, but now the situation is not easy to say, and in the end they continued to remain silent.

Tsunade, however, isn't that stupid.

"This old guy ......"

Frowning, looking at Shimura Danzo who seemed to be indifferent, he scolded the other party fiercely in his heart, but he couldn't say it through his mouth, he could only give instructions.

"Approved!"

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed since that night, and Qingming and Hyuga Hanabi have been playing all the way, and they have finally walked out of the realm of the Fire Country.

The Fire Nation is doing well.

The rest of the countries are obviously not as good as the country of fire, there are no power facilities on both sides of the road, the road surface is not very smooth, and you can't see people for half a day.

I finally came across a small village, but I was also very defeated, and basically only some old and sick people remained, and they still had to work in the fields.

Most of the land is deserted.

The crops planted don't look very good, and it is estimated that the harvest will not be too much, maybe there is a meal without a meal, but they can still survive after all.

As long as you are alive, there will always be hope.

Alive......

“……”

Hinata Hanabi looked at the lifeless villagers who couldn't see the slightest smile on their faces, and in her little head, she began to think about questions that many people would not think about.

He looked at Qingming to the side again.

"Brother Qingming."

"Huh?"

"Alive...... What is it? ”

“？”

Qingming turned his head and looked at the little girl who was following him, her pure white eyes, as if there was nothing, were full of curiosity and doubts at this time.

Such a question is not what she should be at her age......

All right.

There is nothing that should or should not be, even if it is a child, sometimes it is possible to find some great problems, and thinking about life is not exclusive to adults.

"I don't know what it is to be alive, what I do know is that only by being alive can we have everything, and when we die, there is nothing, so we have to live."

He gave this answer.

Sidestep the question.

Hinata Hanabi seemed thoughtful.

"To live is to have everything, and to die is nothing...... And what about them? As if there is nothing, they are alive? Or is it already dead? ”

Look at the people in the village.

Following Qingming, slowly passing through the road in the middle of the village, those villagers didn't pay attention to them, at most they just glanced at them, and didn't care at all.

With people who have no tomorrow today, they really don't care so much.

"Hmmm......"

Qingming also thought about it.

To be honest, he didn't know anything about this kind of problem, and he didn't think about it, because he himself had to get by.

No ideals, no goals.

However, the people here do not seem to have even hope or tomorrow, and from this point of view, there seems to be no difference between living and dying.

"I'm alive."

He replied.

There is still a difference between being alive and dead, after all, at least they have one life left, and if they die, they don't even have a life, which is the biggest difference.

"Let's go, don't think about it, and leave them alone."

"Why?"

"Because there are too many such people in this world, you can't control them, instead of doing an impossible thing, it's better not to do it in the first place."

"But they also want someone to help them, they want to change the situation, right?"

The little girl asked.

However, Qingming just pouted at her question, and seemed to be a little disdainful.

"If you just want to, if you just expect others to help, then it will never change, and the only thing you can rely on in this world is yourself."

“……”

The little girl did not say anything further.

Walking out of the village, I looked back at the village that I didn't know how long it had been defeated, and there were still some doubts in my eyes, maybe I didn't quite understand the meaning of Qingming.

But he didn't think much about it, followed Qingming and left, and gradually went away.
