Qingshui and Asma smoked in silence, staring at Konoha in the distance together.

Asma pumped hard, as if she wanted to exhale the bitterness in her heart with every bite, and her eyebrows were furrowed.

Qing Shui let the smoke in his hand burn, and the Asma in front of him reminded him of a famous Uchiha.

His name is Uchiha Itachi...

It's just that right now, he's probably still in Uchiha Mikoto's belly...

Four-year-old Itachi Uchiha, who was taken to the battlefield by Uchiha Fugaku, has been thinking about the meaning of life and peace ever since.

And after Uchiha Itachi was asked to be a double agent, he was even more obsessed with the will of fire, believing that the Uchiha clan was an evil clan, and finally waved a butcher knife at his clan, lover, and parents.

To put it simply, it is a paranoid little ghost who was brainwashed by the enemy after being stimulated and became a devil who was not recognized by his six relatives.

Asma and Uchiha Itachi, in a way, are very similar.

Although Sarutobi Hizashi is not as abstract as Uchiha Fugaku, he also did not do a good job, allowing the intelligent and careful Asma to smell the dark side of the village from all kinds of clues and question his origins.

It can only be said that ninjas who have only learned how to kill people since they were children have a natural mission to make a good sword.

If a paranoid knife still starts to think, it is difficult to say whether it will slash at the enemy or an ally...

After all, what is the right thing that a knife can think of?

In the ninja world, there are only a handful of ninjas with normal brains, not only the Uchiha clan, but most ninjas are paranoid and terrifying.

And Uchiha Itachi, when he was a child, he came into contact with Sarutobi Hizashi and Shimura Danzo, and betrayed the Uchiha clan.

Asma was well protected because of his identity as the son of the third generation of Hokage, but he just wandered and wasted his youth.

But now it's different, Asma has found Qingshui.

Qingshui can be both a sharp knife and the person who holds the knife...

"Asma, why did you find me if you have such distrust of the Will of Fire and are still skeptical of the village?"

Qing Shui stared at the Hokage Rock in the distance, looked at the Thousand Hands above, and said slowly:

"Do you think that since I am proficient in the Will of Fire, I should not be further away from me?"

Asma shook her head, a look of remembrance in her eyes:

"I don't think the Will of Fire is bad... I just think that the people who interpret the Will of Fire are too hypocritical, and what they say and do is completely different. ”

"Qing Shui, I can call you that, right?"

After receiving Qingshui's affirmation, Asma seemed to be in a better mood, and continued:

"In my eyes, you are a true practitioner of the Will of Fire, powerful, humble and helpful, even if you are an Uchiha, your existence and story inspire many classmates."

"Especially, when I saw you helping Kojiro Inada that day, I couldn't help but want to talk to you."

"You didn't continue to encourage him to become a ninja, but helped him open a shop he liked, and what I saw in his eyes was a smile from the heart..."

"But even if I, or any ordinary ninja school teacher, even if I want to help him, all that comes to mind is how to help him become a ninja..."

"From that moment, I knew you were special, Qingshui."

Asma turned her head, looked at Qing Shui seriously, and said in a deep voice, "So, I came to find you." ”

Qing Shui nodded knowingly and threw out a question:

"Asma, do you think it's worth sacrificing the happiness of some people in Konoha in exchange for the happiness of another?"

"Just like your friends who joined the roots, some of them may want to walk in the light, and some may just want to open a small shop like Kojiro Inada, but they all enter the roots."

"Although they sacrificed their lives, they also gained the rise of Konoha's defensive power..."

Asma narrowed her eyes, and after a moment, shook her head vigorously:

"My friends, they didn't do it voluntarily! In this case, although Konoha is strong, this kind of strength is not correct, and I don't think it can last long. ”

"The first lord said that Konoha was established to unite a group of people, to resist the invasion of other hidden villages..."

"But like Shimura Danzo, under the banner of fighting against other hidden villages, I definitely don't agree with the behavior of doing things to my own people first!!"

Asma clenched her fists tightly as she said this, and her voice sounded as if she was growling.

Qing Shui smiled and said slowly, "If that's the case, Asma, then I'll ask you another question..."

"Suppose, the Third Ninja War broke out and Konoha fell into a disadvantage, and at this time, the enemy Hidden Village proposed that if Konoha handed over a few ninjas who were not strong, a peace agreement could be reached, if you were the Hokage, would you agree?"

Asma was about to say something.

Qing Shui signaled him not to worry about it yet, and continued to add the conditions:

"If the war continues, there will be hundreds of ninjas who will die in Konoha, and if they are promised, the enemy will have at least a ten-year truce, ushering in a relatively long period of peace."

"You do the math and tell me, what will you choose?"

Asma hesitated visibly, and thought about it.

Thousand Hands narrowed his eyes, and his answer was much happier than Asma's hesitation:

"Boring question, if any of the Konoha high-ranking officials would hand over the ninja in the village because of the armistice, the old man would be the first to kill him! Monkeys, Danzang, even if they make small mistakes, they can't be stupid enough to be like this..."

"It's not a question of how many Konoha ninjas die, it's the integrity and will of a village!"

"If you don't even have the backbone to fight for your companions and enemies, then there is no need for Konoha to exist!"

Qing Shui looked at the thousand hands with interest, and asked with a smile:

"What if the same problem happened at the First Shinobi War, and the hostage that the enemy proposed to exchange was the Uchiha?"

"Who are you and me, little ghost?"

Thousand hands sneered disdainfully:

"It's true that I discriminate against the Uchiha because I monitor every village and outside the unrest."

"But that doesn't mean that I have to solve the contradictions within Konoha outside the village."

"If I do that, I don't deserve to be this second-generation Hokage!"

Qing Shui applauded for the Thousand Hands and said softly, "I believe in you, Doorman." ”

And at this time.

Asma, who was troubled by Qingshui's advanced question, also made her own decision in the struggle, as if he was really the Hokage, and said word by word:

"Qingshui, I won't hand over the Konoha ninja, even if it's a lower ninja!"
