Hearing the sincere and unhesitating rhetorical question of the Thousand Hands Pillars, Kaguya Ren couldn't help but laugh out loud when he asked this question, and then, he turned his face sideways and shook his head at Jiraiya and Kakashi Hagi, who also didn't understand why he was asking the Thousand Hands Pillars question, and said:

"Before coming here, we seemed to be discussing when the Will of Fire began to deteriorate, right?"

"Now, then, I can give you a clear answer...... The so-called Will of Fire has been degenerated from the moment it was proposed, and the inheritance and interpretation of the Will of Fire by successive Hokages is nothing more than a process that has pushed it to gradually deepen its deterioration and corruption. ”

"From the beginning...... It's spoiled? ”

The first to respond to this violent remark was neither the Senjutsu Pillar, who proposed the concept of the Will of Fire itself, nor Jiraiya, who was most deeply infiltrated by the Will of Fire, but the lifeless Kakashi Hachiki, who tugged at his forehead to cover his missing left eye more tightly, and then asked softly:

"From the very beginning, everyone in the village was guarded as part of the family, right? Is this also wrong? ”

"If the person who came up with this idea is not the first Hokage Senju Juma, but the second Hokage Senju Kakuma, then it is right."

Kaguya Ren shook his head and gave an answer that made the few people present couldn't help but look at each other:

"But the person who came up with this idea is the Thousand Hands Pillar, the god of ninjas, and one of the most powerful ninjas after the Six Paths Immortals, so this idea will naturally become a breeding ground for mistakes."

"Why?" Kakashi still only used the simplest words to compose his question, "Why can't the first generation of adults, but the second generation of adults can?" ”

"Because compared to the Thousand Hands Pillar, the Thousand Hands Door is very weak, so weak that he has to use a forbidden technique like Filthy Earth Reincarnation to keep his village from being subverted, so weak that he will be pursued to death by a small number of rebel forces within Yun Yin, so weak that as soon as he took over Konoha and became the second generation Hokage, the four major ninja villages that were once suppressed by the Thousand Hands Pillar and didn't dare to breathe, couldn't wait to start the first ninja war."

Kaguya looked at the Thousand Hands Pillar with a complicated expression in his eyes, and continued:

"Because Senju is just a mortal, the concept of guarding the village and protecting everyone in the village as family is appropriate for him, something that is in line with his personal ability, and as long as he does this, he is already a qualified or even excellent Hokage."

"But you can't do that between the Thousand Hands Pillar."

"Why? Just because...... The first adult, is it too strong? ”

Jiraiya's gaze went back and forth between the Thousand Hands Pillar and Kabaya, and then he came to such a somewhat unacceptable conclusion with a complicated mind.

"Hmm...... Sanninja deserves to be Sannin, you finally showed your true value, proving that you are no worse than Orochimaru and Tsunade, who have mastered the core technology, Jiraiya. ”

Kaguya Ren chuckled, and recognized the answer given by Jiraiya, then turned his head to look at the Thousand Hands Pillar, and asked in a slight tone:

"I don't know if you understand what I mean, the first Hokage-sama?"

"I don't understand." Senju Tsuruma frankly admitted this, "If it was Madara, he might be able to keep up with your thinking, but if I say it, I may have to listen more, look more, and think more before I know what you're talking about." ”

"Then I'll change the way it is easier to understand," Kaguya Ren was not annoyed, just ten fingers against each other, and said to Senju Pillar with a slight squint, "What kind of existence do you think you are in the eyes of ordinary ninjas, the first Hokage?" ”

"A particularly strong ninja?" Senju thought about it for a while, and naturally gave the answer in his mind.

"Is it just a ninja?" Kaguya asked back with a pitiful smile.

"What else could it be?" Senjuju's eyes narrowed, "It's not like to say that you're the same as Madara...... Think we're already beyond humans, gods, right? ”

"Isn't it?"

It was Kagya Ren from the third direction who said this, and as he walked out of the shadows and flickering candle flames, the two doppelgangers with their own responsibilities gently nodded to the main body, and then disappeared from the sight of several people, and it was at this time that the face of the Thousand Hands Pillar really appeared with a look called solemnity and pressure.

"In the Battle of the Valley of the End more than thirty years ago, the battlefield between you and Madara Uchiha stretched for hundreds of kilometers, permanently changing the terrain and coastline of a large area, and creating the Valley of the End, an unprecedented region in the ninja world...... No one dares to intervene in the battle between you. ”

"In the Battle of Konoha a few months ago, the battle between me and the Uchiha Obito caused a permanent addition of a dozen large lakes with an area of no less than Konoha outside Konoha Village...... Again, no one has the courage to face this mobile catastrophe. ”

Kaguya, who was walking slowly, stopped in front of the Thousand Hands Pillar, and after the immortal mode was turned on, the white eyes of the vertical boy who shrank into a snake-like look particularly terrifying, plus he no longer concealed the immortal chakra that was fully open, and the Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Kakashi Hachiki who were present even gave birth to a feeling that they were facing an existence that was not at the same level at all at the life level.

"For ordinary ninjas, we can defeat the entire ninja world with the power of one person, and we have the ability to reshape the ninja world into our own desired appearance, even if we face the natural disaster that symbolizes the wrath of nature, we can also calm it with one force...... What is the difference between it and a real god? ”

Kaguya Ren looked at the Thousand Hand Pillars, the only one present who was not overwhelmed by his momentum, and asked calmly.

“…… Strength is not a reason for us to think of ourselves as gods on high. ”

While helplessly lamenting the weakness of his current body, Thousand Hands Pillar said what he had said to Madara Uchiha again to Kaguya:

"Those who hold themselves by strength will eventually become slaves to power...... In your eyes, you shouldn't be blind to this possibility. ”

"But the great power will make the people who are conquered by it naturally worship you as a god," Kaguya tilted his head, and the white vertical boy stared at the eyes of the Thousand Hands Pillar without the slightest wavering, and said softly:

"And if you, the god of ninjas, have made a decision that is too petty, then the mortals who believe in you can also settle and alienate the 'god' decision step by step on this basis."

"Konoha's will to fire is like this, little by little, it deteriorates and corrupts from the source."

Kaguya squinted at Orochimaru, who glanced thoughtfully, Jiraiya, who closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, and Kakashi, who had more and more empty eyes, continued:

"The god of ninjas who calmed down the troubled times, the concept he adhered to when he founded the new thing of Ninja Village, was to protect all the members of Konoha as family, so the countless ninjas in the ninja world were naturally divided into two identities other than Konoha and Konoha."

"Konoha's ninjas are your family, so the ninjas who are not Konoha are naturally beaten into outsiders and enemies, so the ninja class, which was originally possible to complete integration, unification and even transformation under the will of the two gods you and Madara Uchiha, has been cut into a clear camp of 'family' and 'enemies'."

"From the moment the ninja god spawned the will of fire in the heart of the ninja god as long as he protected the village and his family, Konoha was destined to fall into an all-out war against all those who were not Konoha ninjas, and he would never be able to break free. And when you killed Madara Uchiha and further alienated the Will of Fire into a village that would protect the village by any means, Konoha and even the entire ninja world fell into a whirlpool that was even more dangerous than the quagmire of the troubled times of the Warring States. ”

"At least in the troubled times of the Warring States, you don't need to worry that someone from the same family will stab you in the vital point, but in the Ninja Village era, as long as you use the righteousness of 'protecting the village', even if you are the closest to you, and your companions and relatives who have entrusted each other with life and death, may become killers who stab knives into your heart."

"Do you feel the consequences of the gods' disqualification?"

Hearing this, the face of the Thousand Hands Pillar had completely darkened.

Kaguya's narration is not obscure, you only need to listen to the beginning of each topic, you can naturally follow the ideas he provides, deduce the subsequent series of results, and even in order to facilitate understanding, Kaguya Ren also deliberately reduced the number of topics in this statement, but the more this is the case, the more clearly a heart-deep coldness can be felt between the thousand hands pillars, and a sincere ...... Sorrowful.

He originally thought that he had truly betrayed his original ideals when he was determined to kill Madara Uchiha and completely bury this best friend who once shared the same ideals and could understand each other, but in Kaguya's mouth, he had already embarked on a different path when he established Konoha .

Are you really wrong?

Perhaps.

Madara and Madara initially thought that the only way to achieve peace was to rely on mutual understanding between people, but if we kept moving forward with this ideal, we shouldn't divide anyone into the ranks of the enemy.

So did you do it yourself?

Apparently not.

Even if you don't consider the part of Kaguya Rei who worships herself as a god who changes the ninja world, and only considers the problems of the Konoha family, the will of fire that she has inherited has already deviated from her and Madara's original ideals......

Looking at the Thousand Hands Pillar whose expression was getting lower and lower, Zilai, who had been listening, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then took the initiative to open his mouth to relieve the siege:

"Mizukage-sama, are you too demanding of the first adult? No matter how much you praise his position in your heart, the first lord was just a human who had just come out of the chaos of the Warring States and tried to forge a new path in the chaos...... If you're a human being, you're going to make mistakes, right? ”

"The Thousand Hands Pillar is not an ordinary human being, or rather, a person who has mastered the power of the gods has the responsibility of guiding the world and guiding mankind."

Kaguya Ren shook his head, and then sighed with some envy:

"As for being too demanding or something...... That's because he is both a victor and an idealist who has almost a good death. ”

"Protect his younger brother Senju, become the strongest ninja in the world, realize his dream since childhood, create a new era belonging to the ninja village, his thoughts have been recognized and passed down from generation to generation, and he is sung and worshiped by history as the god of ninjas, and even his blood inheritance limit Mu Dun, who stands at the apex of the ninja world, has not been continuously passed down and spread through the bloodline of the Thousand Hands clan......

"Compared with the loser Madara Uchiha, who has lost his family, his ideals, his best friends, and even his life, he has lived too successfully and successfully...... Even I am not sure if I can have a very small failure like him when the end of my life comes. ”

"For this kind of hateful predecessor who left a lot of hidden dangers for future generations, but he got a good death, am I a little harsh and demanding of him in words, is it too much?"
