Ten minutes later, inside the Shugakukan.

Jiraiya and Kakashiki knelt down in the corridor on the second floor of the academy building, their faces no longer the heavy and solemn emotions they had just left from the underground test plaza, replaced by a deep fear of whether their personal safety could be guaranteed.

And right behind them, in the guest room that belonged to Tsunade Hime, bursts of violent roars were constantly coming out:

"So! That's it! You know! I've been taken advantage of! Still! Still! The reason why you still run to the casino to gamble!? Yes!? ”

"Ahahahaha...... This, this...... Don't be so angry, Tsunade, I, I can explain it to you......"

"You! Explain it 10,000 more times! It's impossible to smooth it out! When the old lady was sitting at the gambling table, she suddenly saw her grandfather, who had been dead for many years, pushed away the crowd and sat on the opposite side, and then excitedly prepared to have a game with me! Got it!? ”

The sound waves that almost shook the entire academy to the ground jumped from behind, blowing the gray hair of Jiraiya and Kakashi into a messy bird's nest, and the two of them not only didn't dare to reach out and tidy up their messy hair, but they didn't even dare to say a word, they could only silently lament their misfortune today in their hearts.

And after yelling viciously at the Thousand Hands Pillar, Tsunade finally vented his inner shock, uneasiness, anger and unhappiness, and she barely calmed down She pushed open her door, and said indifferently to the two white hairs who knelt outside the door and apologized:

"Come in, I need to hear your explanation."

So, Jiraiya and Kakashi Hachiki had to bite the bullet, and they re-elaborated on the process of a series of major events such as whether the Will of Fire has deteriorated and the terrible enemies that will continue to attack in the future.

"Well, it's for this reason that you think of reincarnating my filthy soil......

The Thousand Hands Pillar knocked on his hand and suddenly said:

"When Kazuma was developing this technique, I always felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to only use this technique to summon the dead to fight, so I asked Kazuma to put this technique in the Book of Seals and seal it...... I didn't expect that the fourth-generation Mizukage to come up with such an interesting usage. ”

"Now, is it time to say such things, master~master?"

Tsunade silently raised his fist and shook it at the Thousand Hands Pillar, who didn't mean anything serious at all.

】

"Uh...... I mean, seeing that the forbidden art that was sealed at the beginning can also be used for things other than war, it more or less shows that the four generations of Mizukage's views on ninjutsu and ninjas are indeed different from ours. ”

The Thousand Hands Pillar coughed twice and sat upright.

"But if he's right, isn't it all the efforts we've been making to pursue peace?"

Jilai also leaned on the table with his head in his hands, and said a little listlessly:

"Ninja is an unsheathed blade, and even if it was once included in the scabbard called peace, it will still go to war again because of the completely different design between the blade and the scabbard...... I can't think of any way to contradict him. ”

"If you can't think of it, don't refute it, anyway, it's already everyone's consensus that the ideas and concepts of the four generations of Mizukage transcend the times, and you don't have to compete with him in this kind of field that you have never set foot in, right?"

Tsunade raised his hand and knocked Jiraiya's head and said angrily.

"But if we can't answer the questions raised by the four generations of Mizukage, we won't be able to get rid of his influence and get out of our own path in Konoha."

Jiraiya smiled wryly and turned his face sideways, looked at Tsunade's face that had been the same for more than ten years, and sighed and said:

"The era of change is coming, and if Konoha doesn't even have people who can see the course of history clearly, and understand the reasons and directions for change, then we are destined to become chasers and imitators who follow the path behind the fog stealth, and we may not even be able to learn."

"If that happens, I can't imagine what kind of ending Konoha will usher in in the end......"

"Well, in the end, it's nothing more than being conquered by the fog, or being destroyed by the fog."

Senju raised his hand, and in a very relaxed tone, he said a simple answer: "The idea of the fourth generation of Mizukage has been very clear, when the time is ripe, he will definitely start a war to unify the ninja world, and the final result of a war with a huge disparity in strength is nothing more than that." ”

"Is this what you, the first Hokage, should have said, Grandpa?"

Tsunade looked at the Thousand Hands Pillar in annoyance, but was pushed back by the incomparably calm emotion in the other party's eyes tainted by the ghostly aura.

"I just want you to understand what kind of person you're up against."

Senju pointed to himself, then to the outside, and continued:

"Kaguya, he's a ninja who's completely different from me and Madara Uchiha...... His understanding of conquest is not limited to conquest at the level of force, but also assimilation in thought, which is also a skill that he is very good at. ”

"Don't look at him now he can talk to us kindly, discussing the gains and losses of Konoha in the process of development, but in the process of this conversation, his thoughts have begun to sow seeds on you, the backbone of Konoha and the stars of the future, if you can't find the answer yourself, then these thoughts from him will take root in your hearts, and grow into an indestructible towering tree, completely dominating your thoughts."

"It's still a little more dangerous than Madara, or Kaguya...... Because his conquest is unaware of it even if it is shown to everyone on the bright side, it is a conquest at the level of consciousness that is formless and substantial, and it is easier for people to give up resistance without seeing swords. ”

"Grandpa, what do you mean...... Let's stop communicating with the fog? Tsunade's face was serious, and his tone was serious.

"No, that's not what it means. Instead, keep as much of a knowledge of Kigikure and Kaguya as you can, and then do your best to debunk the thoughts and questions he has left you, and find answers to change yourself and the current unfavorable situation. Only he will give you the most intuitive and transparent answer, and only he will know what to do to make the pursuit of peace for us ninjas no longer a tragedy. ”

The Thousand Hands Pillar breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion:

"After talking so much with you, I can't help but fantasize about what this story that we started would have been if the person who lived in the same era as me had been Kaguya Ren instead of Madara. Will I be persuaded by him to join him in unifying and transforming the entire ninja world, or will I ...... I, along with the other clans in the ninja world, joined forces to defend our ninja path and slay him? ”
