"Fist? Palm? ”

Tsunade frowned, pondering the two concepts that Kaguya had casually proposed.

As a ninja who has experienced a hundred battles, as a healer who is accustomed to seeing life and death, and as an elder who has traveled all over the world, all her life experience so far is telling her that the two words that Kaguya Ren said at this time do not refer to just the fog hidden village before and after he transformed, but she is not good at humanistic thinking and empathy, but she is always like a river, a mountain, or a veil from the real answer, you can see it, but you can't see it clearly.

However, at this time, she is no longer the big fat sheep who wanders aimlessly in the ninja world alone with her disciples.

So she turned her head and turned her gaze to Jiraiya, who was also frowning.

And when the three highest-ranking people present began to talk about what seemed to be a serious topic, the other Konoha ninjas and ninja school students who were originally chatting about various topics also quieted down, and looked at Kaguya who looked at Kaguya with a smile on her face, and Jiraiya, who was about to answer.

In the midst of this, Kakashi Hachiki and Itachi Uchiha showed expressions of full attention and listening attentively, for fear that they would miss any of the next conversations.

"You're talking about clenching into more lethal fists...... It shouldn't just refer to the Fog Hidden Village, which once turned into the Blood Mist, Mizukage-sama, right? ”

"Then it depends on how you interpret it, Jiraiya."

Kaguya Ren maintained a calm and calm expression, his white eyes swept unabashedly over each of the Konoha ninjas present, and after seeing each of them instinctively make a vigilant gesture because of the gaze that seemed to have an entity, even the appearance of Uchiha Itachi, who had just passed his sixth birthday, he retracted his gaze and chuckled at Jiraiya and Tsunade, who were also cold-haired:

"Answer me a question, Jiraiya...... At what age did you kill for the first time? At what age did you master the skills necessary to kill a person? ”

“…… Is this kind of thing important? Jiraiya's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't figure out what medicine was being sold in Kaguya's gourd.

"It's just a brick throw, if you don't want to answer, I can also use the two children Kakashi Hachiki and Uchiha Itachi as examples, the same."

Kaguya Ren paused slightly, then tilted his head to look at the two who couldn't help but be slightly stunned because of the mention of their names, and continued with a smile:

"Kakashi Hagi, in your official data on Konoha, he graduated from a ninja school at the age of five and was promoted to a middle ninja at the age of six, and if you use this data to answer the question I asked you, he has fully mastered the ninja skills necessary to kill people when he was almost five years old, and he has taken the lives of others with his own hands.

This record, even in the period of the Blood Mist, Momochi did better than him, who was called a ghost by everyone and forced the three generations of Mizukage to change the rules of the ninja school's graduation exam...... Probably not? After all, although he killed all the candidates in that class, he still officially became a Zhongnin a few years later. ”

"And Uchiha Itachi, although it is said that the age of entering the ninja school is a year later than Kakashi Hagi, but according to Uchiha Shisui's evaluation, he has also mastered the skills necessary to take the lives of others at the age of five or even earlier."

"In the eyes of you Konoha people, they should be the kind of rising stars that can support Konoha in the future, right? But even in the Blood Mist, the evaluation that the two of them received could not be higher than the evaluation they received in the current Konoha. ”

At this point, Kaguya Ren stopped speaking, and he narrowed his eyes, as if admiring his own meticulously drawn and vivid wandering painter of the people in the painting, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, looking at Jiraiya, whose body was trembling uncontrollably with pride and pleasure.

"Self-......"

Seeing that Jiraiya's reaction was so great, Tsunade was also a little panicked, she first stepped forward and gently stroked Jiraiya's back to confirm whether there was anything abnormal in his body, and after receiving a negative answer, she turned her head to look at Kabaya, gritting her silver teeth and asking:

"What the hell are you ...... What do you want to answer from Jiraiya!? ”

"A very simple problem, but before that, it was ignored by the fog, Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, intentionally or unintentionally."

Kaguya Ren reached out and poured himself a small glass of sake, then raised his head and drank it down, the sake brewed in a special way gushed down with a strong burning meaning, and quickly a layer of red on Kaguya's somewhat pale skin, he put down the glass, still maintaining that playful expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and spoke again, only this time the object of his question was replaced by Tsunade Hime, who frowned.

"If you still can't figure it out, then I'll ask you another question, don't worry, for you who were born in the Senju clan and have had direct contact with the original Hokage, this question is definitely very easy to answer......"

"Tell me, and all the Konoha ninjas here, in the Thousand Hands Pillar and Madara Uchiha joined forces to pacify the troubled times, the Warring States Troubled Times before the establishment of the Konoha Ninja Village, at what age will the genius boys in the various ninja clans step on the battlefield and become blood-stained killing tools?"

This time, it was Tsunade's turn to be silent.

But soon, she stabilized her emotions by taking a deep breath, and said in a complicated tone:

"Grandpa Kazuma once said that at the end of the Warring States period, children over the age of five would be considered soldiers who could participate in wars and fights, regardless of talent...... And those geniuses who can kill the enemy on their own at a young age will be seen as the future and hope of the clan, and will take on more responsibilities. ”

"You see, here and now, just as it was then."

Kaguya Ren laughed, but his smile didn't bring any warmth, but instead seemed extraordinarily cold, extraordinarily sarcastic, extraordinarily ...... Condescending.

"In the troubled times of the Warring States, people sent young and ignorant children to the battlefield, expecting them to show their talent for being alone and killing the enemy on their own, and in this way, to select the next generation who can lead the family forward, the more and faster they kill, the higher their status in the clan."

"In the Blood Mist, which is considered to be the darkest and most cruel in the Ninja Village era, Madara Uchiha set the graduation exam of the ninja school to kill his closest companions, and evaluated the full value of a ninja who is still a child by the speed of his movements and the size of his mood swings when he kills his companions...... Those who dare to start are valuable, and those who hesitate deserve to die. ”

"So after the establishment of Konoha Ninja Village until the present era, how do you evaluate a child's talent? Let's see if he can graduate from ninja school early? Let's see if he can get his hands bloody, when his peers are still in the ninja school, and become the middle ninja of his peers and even seniors? And then call these children who left school early, stepped into the darkness, and whose hands were stained with blood as geniuses, as the future and hope of the ninja village? ”

"There's no difference."

With that, Kaguya Ren stood up and began to walk towards the outside of the restaurant that had been chartered, but before she officially stepped out of the door, Kaguya Ren still stopped, turned her face sideways, and threw out a shocking and violent sentence coldly and lightly at Jiraiya and Tsunade who were struggling, as well as Uchiha Itachi and Kakashi Hagi, who were in the midst of the Tongkong earthquake:

"From beginning to end, there is no difference between the Thousand Hand Pillars who established the first ninja village in the ninja world, the Uchiha Madara who secretly survived and made the fog fall into the blood mist, you who ruled and brought Konoha into the era of prosperity, and the successive generations of the major ninja villages...... You are just a bunch of walking corpses who are still alive in the troubled times of the Warring States. ”

"You don't seem to have ever thought about why you take it for granted that you hold a knife in your hand, why you would value their lives in the same way that your children's hands are stained with blood, and you will even be surprised that I want to reforge some of my own swords and try to teach the people of the fog that human hands are not just clenched into fists and grasped weapons."

"It's really sad that people who are haunted by the blood-colored ghosts called ninjas and ninja paths for eternity and cannot be liberated, but they fantasize about their longing for peace."
