"Well, wait a minute, let me sort out my thoughts."

The Thousand Hands Pillar raised his hand, motioning for Kaguya and the big snake pill on the side to wait for a while, and then he wrenched his fingers and began to list and count the information he currently had:

"Fog Hidden Village, the fourth generation of Mizukage of the Kaguya clan, and then now it's the fifty-first year of Konoha, that is, this is the world ...... after I died for more than thirty years"

Thinking of this, the Thousand Hands Pillar raised his head reluctantly, looked directly into Kaguya's eyes, and asked in a kind voice in a generous tone like an uncle next door:

"So, since the Fog Hidden Village has been passed down to the fourth generation, and it is still a surprisingly young man like you to be the Mizukage, what about Konoha Village? Konoha Village, how many generations has it been passed down? ”

"The fourth generation, the specific period of the ascension is similar to me, and the age is seven or eight years older than me, but it is still very young."

Kaguya Ren naturally answered the question between the Thousand Hands Pillar, and there was no estrangement or distance due to the difference in the positions of the two of them, Kigakure and Konoha respectively, not so much talking to the departed ninja god, but more like chatting with an old acquaintance who had not been seen for many years.

"Oh? Has the ninja world reached an age where the best young people in the village can be allowed to take the position? ”

Hearing this, Senjutsu's eyes lit up, and he nodded a little smugly, and asked with some curiosity: "Then, let me tell me again, is the current fourth generation Hokage of Konoha a ninja from which family?" Of the Uchiha clan? Or is it from the Hyuga clan? ”

"Neither." Kaguya chuckled and shook her head.

"Hmm, is that the junior ninjas of Shimura, Sarufei, or Pig Deer Butterfly? If that's the case, they're going to be pretty prosperous......"

The light in Senjujuma's eyes became brighter and brighter, and every time he said the name of a ninja clan who had joined Konoha in his time, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but become more obvious, and looking at the other party's frank and unswaggering expression, without any hypocrisy, Kaguya couldn't help but feel impressed by the other party's idealist stance that had not faded until death, he took a deep breath, and gave an answer that made Senjuju almost laugh out loud on the spot:

"No, the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha is a ninja named Bo Feng Shuimen, a ninja from a civilian background, he inherited the Flying Thunder God technique created by the second Hokage and carried it forward, and played a yellow flash in the third ninja war that just ended, and after the end of the war, he took over the position of Hokage from the hands of the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun."

"Oh, that's pretty good!"

Senju Tsuruma couldn't suppress his smile anymore and laughed heartily, "After more than thirty years, even a ninja from a civilian background can learn advanced ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God and become a Hokage recognized by everyone, and to be able to allow such a thing to happen, Konoha is much more enlightened than when I was there!" The monkey did a good job. ”

"Enlightened...... Is it? The corners of Orochimaru's mouth outlined a cold arc, "Then the first adult, you are really optimistic enough." ”

"Civilian ninjas can get ahead, and even become the Hokage who surpass those ninjas who have the blood inheritance limit and family inheritance, in the era when Konoha was just established, but even I don't have much confidence that I can do it...... In this respect, the monkey has done a better job than my first generation. ”

Senju Tsuruma, who was in a good mood, didn't pay much attention to the cold spikes in Orochimaru's words, but sincerely praised the changes made by the three generations of Hokage Ape Tobi in this regard, and then took a deep breath, looked at Kaguya Ren with a playful expression, and asked in a somewhat serious tone:

"But...... Is there a third ninja war? After I left, even the deterrence of the Tailed Beasts couldn't make the ninjas led by the five ninja villages give up the idea of starting a war? ”

"To be exact, just after you died, the Tailed Beast and the Human Pillar Force, as one of the most important war weapons of the five ninja villages, were thrown into the first ninja world war that swept the entire ninja world, and the intensity of that war not only far exceeded the war in the last years of the Warring States period, but even led to the fall of the second generation of the five ninja villages, so that the ninja world directly entered the era of the three generations of shadows."

“…… Actually, has it become like this? ”

Looking at the expression that suddenly became low and solemn among the Thousand Hands Pillars, Kaguya shrugged his shoulders and commented casually:

"I won't speculate and evaluate for the time being at the original Five Shadows Conference on what kind of considerations you used to distribute the Nine Tailed Beasts to the Five Great Ninja Villages, but judging from the development of history, you have overestimated the deterrent power of Tailed Beasts as weapons, and intentionally or unintentionally ignored the fact that you are healthy and alive is the greatest guarantee for maintaining peace in that era."

"There's no way around it."

The Thousand Hands Pillar sighed, shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"After that fight with Madara, I felt that my body was deteriorating at an unprecedented rate, and even after that, I was no longer active as a ninja, and at most I could only delay it for another two or three years......

Even if I really was, as you say, the key to keeping the peace in that era, I couldn't do anything but stupidly stay in that position when my body began to deteriorate irrepressibly. ”

"So you came up with the idea of distributing the Tailed Beasts to the ninja villages, and by letting them all have extremely destructive hole cards like the Tailed Beasts, so that they are afraid of each other and dare not easily restart the battle?"

Kaguya didn't dwell on the rights and wrongs of distributing the tailed beasts among the Thousand Hand Pillars, but seriously asked the other party why he chose to do so.

"Yes, because of the strength of the tailed beast, it is really strong."

The Thousand Hands Pillar said words that were not convincing in his identity, and said in a slightly low mood:

"I originally thought that if all the ninja villages had similar powers, the threshold for starting a war would become very high, and the parties would be able to sit down and settle disputes through communication......

"Like you and Madara Uchiha?"

"Perhaps...... Considering this, right? ”

Thousand Hands Pillar scratched his head, and said with great certainty:

"After all, a person as arrogant as Madara doesn't even have the patience to sit down and listen to you if he doesn't have the strength of the same level as him...... And there should be a lot of arrogant genius ninjas like him, and there should be a lot of major ninja villages that have just come out of the troubled times of the Warring States. ”

Kaguya Ren stared at the clearly textured faces between the Thousand Hands Pillars, and said in a somewhat helpless tone:

"Then you've really found a strange path, the first Hokage. If I'm not mistaken, you and Madara Uchiha once set up the original ninja village Konoha in the ninja world, but later went their separate ways, and eventually even went to the point of fighting to the death...... What is the reason for choosing such an attempt, knowing that there is a considerable chance that it will fail in the end? ”

"Because Madara and I relied on this mutual understanding to put aside the hatred between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan and build the Konoha Ninja Village."

On the face of the Thousand Hands Pillar, he couldn't help but show a somewhat nostalgic expression, he tilted his head, looked at Kaguya who didn't hide his surging immortal chakra too much, and said in a complicated tone:

"Until death came, I didn't think clearly what Madara meant when he said that he had found a new path, and I didn't know what kind of mood he was in before he decided to take the Nine-Tails to destroy the Konoha Ninja Village we established together, and I couldn't even figure out why he would fight with me with his life."

"He has become a person with goals and dreams that I can't understand, and I've become a person who can kill friends and family at any cost to protect the village, so maybe I've become something he can't understand."

The Thousand Hands Pillar shook his head in embarrassment, and his expression softened and calmed down, and he looked at his weakened body made of strange dust and debris, and muttered to himself:

"But even so, I still remember the relief I felt when Madara and I finally brought the war between Senju and Uchiha to an end, and I still miss the uninhibited and uninhibited ease when the two of us sat on the empty Hokage Rock and talked about how to name this childhood dream that had finally come true......

Even more clearly and more deeply recalled the feeling when we first met, when we didn't even dare to communicate with each other's surnames, but we felt incredibly that the other party was the one who could understand us. ”

"Probably because that feeling of mutual understanding is so good, I hope that among the ninjas in the future, there will be teenagers who have reached mutual understanding like me and Madara, who do not need to bear the hatred and pain caused by their families and villages, and can freely exchange names, become friends, brothers, and family members, and work together to take the road of peace further and wider on the foundation I have established."

But it is clear that no matter how beautiful a fantasy is, it can only be a fantasy after all...... Your idea of relying on mutual understanding between people to achieve eternal peace step by step has unsurprisingly failed. ”

Kaguya was unmoved, and gave a cold and sharp evaluation of the sincere and heartfelt self-description of the Thousand Hands Pillar.

"So you, who have the power to change this era, will you be alone, Kaguya?"

And the Thousand Hands Pillar just stared at the pair of white eyes in Kaguya's eyes that didn't fit completely, and sighed with mixed emotions.
