The World in Senju Tobirama's Eyes
A few days later, in the Hokage Office.
"No, I don't agree."
Senju Hashirama rejected Utatane Koharu's proposal to send someone to discuss missions with the Land of Rain's Daimyo, and then said, "The dead should not interfere with the world of the living."
"I'm happy to see the village still exists, but I won't infringe on others for profit."
"Brother," Senju Tobirama just started to speak.
"You shut up." Senju Hashirama stopped his younger brother, and said, "My goal in establishing the village was to eliminate the divisions between clans, to establish order in a chaotic environment, so that children can grow up without worries..."
If Konoha Village extends its hand to the Land of Rain, a place of the Fourth Shinobi World War, it will definitely provoke a huge reaction from Hidden Stone Village, and may even trigger a war.
His expression looked very serious, and he said, "The World today seems to be more than just the divisions between clans, it has become hatred and contradictions between villages and villages, and countries and countries."
"I don't know how to change or re-establish what kind of order, but I don't think that wars of the strong bullying the weak will bring peace."
He sincerely believed so, so he hoped to bring peace with a pleading attitude at the First Kage Summit.
Of course, this does not mean that he thinks he can bring peace by doing this. He hopes to convey the idea of longing for peace through his actions and attitude.
If he didn't think that the future could be peaceful, he wouldn't be happy that Konoha Village still existed after being summoned.
Leave the future to the future generations. Each generation has its own things to do.
"Brother." Senju Tobirama waited for his elder brother to finish speaking before he said quietly, "Then, after you are reincarnated, you should also become a new generation of younger generations."
He is the one who knows his elder brother best. Most of the beautiful words just now were the result of careful consideration, but, that is based on not being reincarnated!
"Oh, right!" Senju Hashirama touched his head with his palm, revealing a shocked expression.
He didn't consider at all that he would continue to deal with new problems and find ways to achieve new peace in the new era.
"..."X5
"Cough," the Third Hokage took the initiative to speak, "I also don't agree with taking over the Land of Rain's mission."
"However, the destruction of Rain Hidden Village will definitely bring more chaos if it is not dealt with in a short time." Utatane Koharu's attitude was not changed by the First Hokage's rebuttal, "Even if we don't take the opportunity to seize the benefits during the window period, Hidden Stone Village and Grass Hidden Village will not abandon the Land of Rain's benefits."
"The village's current strength has surpassed other Naruto Villages. Even if we launch a war, with Lin Ke's Ninjutsu, we can easily win against any Naruto Village."
"As long as we unify the Ninja World, true peace will come."
"Even if war is needed in the process, it is for peace."
She didn't agree with Danzo's idea of unifying the Ninja World before, purely because she felt there was no hope. Now that the First Hokage is in hand, she can pull out all of Konoha Village's powerful ninjas from the Pure Land at any time.
Unifying the Ninja World is no longer an extreme idea, but a very likely future to be realized.
What is for peace, it is better to say it is for the village. Anyway, ninjas are not some great and righteous profession. After unifying the Ninja World, they can slowly govern for peace. Who cares about the sacrifices caused in the process? Anyway, with Lin Ke around, the people of the village will not be sacrificed.
Mitokado Homura didn't speak, so the meaning was obvious.
Tsunade was still thinking, thinking about what expression she should make when she saw her dead boyfriend reincarnated as a child.
Oh, Nawaki? That kid is someone she watched grow up. He wasn't very old when he died, so it doesn't matter if he turns back into a three or four year old.
Jiraiya's expression was a little wrong. In the prophecy, his disciple would bring change to The World. At present, it seems that this child of prophecy is Lin Ke? But he hasn't had much contact with Lin Ke at all!
"Our mission to the Land of Rain is not necessarily needed." The Third Hokage said with a serious expression, "The chaos in the Land of Rivers has not yet subsided, and we still have some friction with Hidden Stone Village. Continuing to attack the Land of Rain will definitely break out into war."
"We cannot proactively initiate a war."
He didn't refute the idea that peace might require war to achieve, as no one knew how to achieve ultimate peace. Arguing about the rights and wrongs of many viewpoints was a waste of breath, but he opposed starting a war.
Lin Ke's techniques weren't omnipotent, and what if some other technique really appeared that could counter them? Konoha Village's position was destined to affect the whole body with one move. Starting a Ninja World War would definitely be targeted by all Naruto Villages.
The dead returned to the present world, worried about being re-summoned. Sealing Jutsu was good; if they could be reincarnated, it was better not to kill them, but to capture and seal them.
Where was there any invincible technique?
The Land of Fire, Land of Rivers, Land of Waves, and the tasks of some allied countries were enough to support Konoha Village. Proactively starting a war had too many uncertainties.
The discussion here didn't have much to do with the Land of Rain anymore; it was about discussing the path the village would take in the future, a debate on ideology among the Konoha high-level leaders.
Senju Hashirama nodded frequently, saying, "Sarutobi is right."
"I think we can explore the Land of Rain's tasks together with Hidden Stone Village, which not only solves the chaos in the Land of Rain but also allows us to obtain a portion of the tasks," Mitokado Homura calmly said. "It won't necessarily lead to war; we can completely solve the problem peacefully."
"Homura is right," Senju Hashirama nodded in approval again.
Bullshit, the Land of Rivers' tasks were already letting Konoha eat its fill. Hidden Stone Village would rather not have the Land of Rain's tasks than share them with Konoha.
Homura was purely using 'peace' as an excuse to package his goal of dividing the Land of Rain's tasks.
"Brother, don't make trouble," Senju Tobirama rubbed his forehead with a headache, instructing, "Go find Lin Ke now and see if he needs any help, and discuss when to reincarnate you."
"Oh," Senju Hashirama scratched the back of his head, reminding, "Tobirama, we must not start a war no matter what."
He was too lazy to think about politics and the like, and usually didn't have any dignity, but he knew very well that the person whose words were most likely to be heeded in the room was his younger brother.
Senju Tobirama nodded, his small face tense, and said, "Don't worry."
"Puhahaha, Tobirama, your expression is so funny," Senju Hashirama laughed.
"..."
Senju Tobirama felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and said expressionlessly, "Understood, brother, you can leave."
Once Senju Hashirama left with a relaxed expression in his semi-transparent Summoning Jutsu body, he said, "The Land of Rain's tasks are not important."
That bit of profit, to be honest, he didn't care about at all.
The Land of Rain was just a small country, and it had experienced years of war and isolation. Many places were destroyed in the battles between his brother and Uchiha Madara, making it extremely poor.
The three subordinates were giving him their opinions, which was basically trying to get a future development plan from the mouths of the two previous Hokage, after all, there had to be a plan to work towards. His brother was still spouting his 'peace' ideology, which was somewhat out of touch with the current international situation.
"Sarutobi, you are responsible for having the Anbu seal all information about reincarnation," Senju Tobirama didn't talk about unifying the Ninja World or high-end stuff like peace, but issued tasks in a very simple and unadorned manner.
"Koharu, you and Homura go talk to the Daimyo and have him come forward to talk to the Land of Rain's Daimyo."
"Jiraiya, one of you and Tsunade must take over the position of Fifth Hokage within a month."
"..."
Orders were issued in an orderly manner.
The village just needed to continue to become stronger before the other Naruto Villages could react. When he and his brother were reincarnated and restored to their full strength, Lin Ke grew up, and one or two more powerhouses of that level were cultivated.
Where was there any need for war to achieve peace? As long as the strong lived for a day, there would be no war.
This is a world where strength dictates everything.
Senju Tobirama understood his brother's power and was even more aware of the underlying logic of The World. Lin Ke's reincarnation combined with his brother's power equaled near-infinite peace. What was the point of all the fancy political struggles and vying for power?
"I'm not going to be Hokage!"
Jiraiya was the first to speak anxiously after Senju Tobirama finished assigning tasks.
Tsunade was silent for a moment, then, without resisting the task, said, "I'll do it."
The village did need a prestigious and strong adult to take over the position. The old man was too old; it was time for him to retire.
With her younger brother, boyfriend, and even grandfather back by her side, the knot in her heart had already been untied, and her concern for the village took precedence.
"You can't leave the village either." Senju Tobirama nodded, pointing at Jiraiya, and said, "The village needs combat power right now. You need to stay and assist Sarutobi and Tsunade."
Tsunade smiled.
"..." Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to go to Mount Myōboku first, and then..."
He also wanted to know if the Child of Prophecy was really Lin Ke, and whether he still had a chance to become that kid's teacher. It seemed difficult, right? Sigh, his head was full of fog right now. How did The World become like this?
"Reverse Summoning Jutsu, I'll give you one day." Senju Tobirama gave the final notice very efficiently, then cut off the topic, saying, "That's all."
After speaking, he jumped from the desk to the ground and left the Hokage Building unhurriedly, heading to his Laboratory.
If today hadn't been so important, and if the village hadn't really needed someone to take charge, he wouldn't have had time to come over.
Before setting off to capture Uchiha Madara, he was about to research the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to a successful conclusion, only a little bit away.
He wanted to prove that the Jutsu he developed wouldn't be much worse than Lin Ke's mutated Ninjutsu. Anyway, it was probably because it was getting smaller, right? His competitive spirit had risen slightly.
[The spatial Jutsu's direction in this section...]
Senju Tobirama abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart and once again entered into wholehearted research, flipping through his notebook, recording all his ideas as he studied.
