Observing the cheerful Kazuhiko before him, who might ascend to become the "new god of ninjas," Isamu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Isamu, what's wrong?" Inquiring with curious eyes, Kazuhiko looked at Isamu, who wore a complex expression. "Could it be that you don't want to agree to this marriage anymore?"
"It's nothing..." Isamu snapped back to reality, realizing he wouldn't have confided in Kazuhiko if that were the case.
However, pondering on their future familial ties and considering that this young man was dubbed the new god of the ninja world, Isamu wondered if he was destined for a different path.
After a moment of contemplation, Isamu spoke slowly, "When I see you, I think of my father..."
Kazuhiko scratched his head, envisioning Senju Hashirama.
Unaware that Kazuhiko was lost in thought, Isamu continued, "He's also known as the god of the ninja world, and he established the ninja village system."
Only then did Kazuhiko grasp the meaning, realizing, "That's what it is! Scared me for a moment. I thought you were reconsidering our engagement, but you want me to be like your 'father'..."
Examining the current state of the ninja world and the condition of the Senju clan, Kazuhiko couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
Isamu gradually voiced his uncertainties, saying, "People praise my father's greatness and the system of one country, one ninja village he established. Yet now, it seems that the creation of a powerful ninja village like Konoha has led to even more ruthless and bloody ninja wars."
Feeling a twinge of sadness, Isamu added, "Sometimes, I wonder if the system my father created is right or wrong..."
Kazuhiko was taken aback by this unexpected questioning from Isamu.
He had assumed that Konoha was a community unable to break free from the pride of the past, particularly given the Senju clan's association with the gods of the ninja world. However, the head of the Senju clan seemed to possess a clearer, more insightful perspective than 99% of the ninja world.
Reflecting on his proximity to Senju Hashirama, Kazuhiko considered the possibility that he automatically stripped away the aura others had projected onto Senju Hashirama, allowing the clan head to see things more clearly. It was no small feat.
"For me, this system is undoubtedly flawed," Kazuhiko declared frankly.
"Incorrect?" Isamu was surprised to hear such a direct conclusion from Kazuhiko. He hadn't anticipated that Kazuhiko would boldly assert that his father was wrong, even though he had entertained doubts himself countless times.
Not to mention others, for whom it would have been a grave mistake to doubt Senju Hashirama.
For a while, Isamu even suspected that Kazuhiko was deliberately saying this to attract attention.
"Isn't it obvious?" Kazuhiko said lightly. "First of all, Uncle Isamu, I want to ask you, what was your father's purpose for establishing Konoha back then?"
"Of course, it was for the sake of peace in the ninja world and to create a world without war!"
"In order to achieve this kind of peace and eliminate war, my father and Uchiha Madara founded a ninja village, and they distributed the tailed beasts they had finally collected to the major ninjas."
Isamu said without hesitation, "Furthermore, in order to maintain his own ideals, my father also killed his lifelong friend Uchiha Madara, which caused him extreme pain..."
"But it's all for peace in the ninja world!"
Isamu finished speaking decisively.
Kazuhiko nodded, did not deny it, but said suspiciously: "But what is the result? Has the ninja world been peaceful? Has the war been eliminated?"
"Not only has it not been eliminated, but the scale of the war has instead expanded. Fighting has almost become commonplace, and even a super-large war such as the Great Ninja War has occurred!"
"When he was there, he could use his own power to keep the entire ninja world at peace, but as soon as he passed away, it immediately returned to the old ways."
"At the same time, we have to face intrigues and machinations from all sides, inside and outside the village, from other countries, and from our own country. If this is peace, it is simply an irony."
"I can even imagine that if we continue on this path, wars like the Great Ninja War will break out for the second and third times, until a new path emerges!"
Hearing this, Isamu fell silent. Every word of Kazuhiko was justified; how could he refute it?
In the end, Kazuhiko said that a new ninja war would break out. In fact, not only Kazuhiko, but Isamu himself thought of this.
"Then what would you do if it were you?" Looking at Kazuhiko, who was speaking eloquently in front of him, Isamu understood that this kid was not just speaking in vain; he did have his own set of evidence.
Therefore, this also made Isamu have a little fantasy about Kazuhiko, hoping that Kazuhiko could really have some solution.
"It's very simple," Kazuhiko looked at Isamu and said word by word.
"If the Five Great Ninja Villages created the war, then destroy all the Five Great Ninja Villages so that there are no longer so many countries and Ninja Villages in the Ninja World!"
"The ninja world will naturally be at peace!"
"!!!"
