Chapter 1845
Denial
"monkey!"
"Have you become so unpopular?" Senju Tobirama sighed in disappointment.
Senju Hashirama remained silent.
Uchiha Madara looked at the three masters and apprentices with a teasing look, as if he was just having fun, which made Senju Tobirama feel ashamed.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Senju Tobirama's sigh, he felt as if all his energy and spirit were drained away.
This sigh was the disappointment of Senju Tobirama, and even more so a denial of Sarutobi Hiruzen's life.
Sarutobi Hiruzen!
The third generation Hokage!
He has lived his whole life in the political correctness of "Senju Tobirama".
The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen became the disciple of Senju Tobirama was because when Konoha was first established, this was an example deliberately set up so that the major ninja clans would feel at ease with the Senju family.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to become the Hokage thanks to the last will of Tobirama Senju.
Precisely because he did not obtain this power through his own strength, he must hold high the banner of Senju Tobirama.
Whatever Tobirama Senju supports, he must support regardless of whether it is right or wrong. Whatever Tobirama Senju hates, he must also hate.
To deny Senju Tobirama is to deny the legality of his own rights.
at this time,
His sense of rights and legal rationality directly judged him as unqualified.
He may not care about anyone's doubts about him, but he cannot ignore Senju Tobirama's attitude.
"No!"
"It's not my fault, it's the selfishness of the ninja clan. They always think about the interests of the family and never consider the village at all."
"The actions of Hyuga Hiashi and the others today just prove that I am right." Sarutobi Hiruzen defended loudly.
He would never admit that he was unqualified as Hokage. To deny his achievements in the village would be to deny his entire life.
The Senju brothers were also stunned when they heard this. From the perspective of the Hokage's power, the behavior of Hyuga Hiashi and others today was indeed that of traitors.
14 Mangekyō Uchiha, along with hundreds of Three-magatama Uchiha, chased to the gate of Konoha.
The fighting in the village stopped shortly after Sarutobi Hiruzen jumped out of the high wall. Hinata Hiashi and others stood on the wall and watched the developments outside the village.
"These ninjas have no sense of the overall situation."
"If I hadn't tried hard to mediate, the village would have been destroyed after you, Tobirama-sensei, died in battle."
"Every ninja only thinks about their family and is completely unwilling to make sacrifices for the village."
"If no one is willing to contribute, how can the village resist the invasion of other ninja villages?"
"Wherever leaves flutter, there is a fire burning, and the shadow of the fire illuminates the village, and then new leaves sprout again."
“These are what my two teachers taught me.”
“Everything I do is for the village.”
"It's not that I'm unpopular, but the ninja clan is too selfish. They only know how to suck the blood of the village, but are unwilling to contribute to the village." The more Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, the straighter his back became and the brighter the light in his eyes became.
Even someone as wise as Tobirama Senju was at a loss for words after hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's retort.
After all, he had been dead for many years and didn't know much about the situation in Konoha.
He even began to doubt in his heart that the decline of the Senju clan was due to the desires of the later clan members who wanted to undermine the foundation of Konoha, and thus backfired into this state.
As for the Uchiha clan being almost exterminated? In Senju Tobirama's mind, the Uchiha clan was originally a psychopath. His rationality prevented him from targeting the Uchiha clan, but that did not mean he had no prejudice against the Uchiha clan.
"Oh?"
"You are right?" Wang Ming suddenly asked, attracting everyone's attention. Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart skipped a beat. He had seen Wang Ming's ability to scold people before. He wanted to stop Wang Ming from talking immediately, but Wang Ming glared at him, and invisible gravity appeared instantly, suppressing him so much that he could only resist the pressure of gravity with all his strength, and he had no ability to speak.
"The interests of the village and the interests of the ninja clan are not contradictory. It is you who made them contradictory."
"Back then, the Kumogakure messenger kidnapped Hyuga Hiashi's daughter in an attempt to steal the Byakugan blood, but Hiashi killed the Kumogakure messenger. Afterwards, when the Kumogakure turned the tables and asked you to hand over Hiashi's body, you chose to force Hiashi to die as an apology."
"You have done such a thing, what expectations do you still expect from Rizu for the village?" Wang Ming said slowly.
Senju Hashirama's expression turned cold: "Is this how you protect the village?"
Uchiha Madara glanced at him with disdain.
Hearing this, Hinata Hiashi had a blank expression on his face and remained silent. Outsiders could not tell his emotions at all, but he was naturally very uneasy in his heart. If he had not been weak enough, he would have rebelled long ago.
What is the purpose of joining Konoha? Because the village is safer than fighting alone. With the protection of the village, the eyes of the tribe members will not be snatched away by others.
but……
The patriarch's daughter was kidnapped and the thief was beaten to death, and the victim became the sinner.
Facing the pressure from Kumogakure, the village chief did not protect Hinata...
Since the village cannot protect Hinata's safety in times of crisis, why should Hinata sacrifice his life for the safety of the village?
"I..." Sarutobi Hiruzen broke out in sweat on his forehead.
Wang Ming added: "In my opinion, it's not the ninja clan that's sucking the blood of the village, but the village."
"Civilian ninjas have indeed contributed a lot to the village, but the ninja clan has also contributed equally."
"In every war, civilian ninjas do contribute the most, but it is always the ninjas from the ninja clan who really influence the outcome of the war."
"We are ninjas, and we live in a world with bloodline limits. People are not born equal."
"You force the ninja clan and civilian ninja to be treated the same. It seems that everyone is equal, but in fact it makes both sides suffer."
"You gave the benefits of the ninja clan to the civilians. It seems that you gave the civilians a chance to develop, but their talent ceiling is there. No matter how many resources they consume, they are nothing more than cannon fodder, and at most they can become high-level cannon fodder."
"The ninjas of the clan who could have been even stronger have become high-level cannon fodder because of your withholding of resources."
The ordinary ninjas on the high walls of Konoha who heard these words immediately felt their self-esteem insulted. The resentment that had been pent up for many years in the hearts of the ninja clan was also triggered, and for a while, the ninjas on the high walls started arguing fiercely.
"Your equality has turned civilians who didn't have to go to the battlefield into cannon fodder."
"Ninjas from the Shinobi clan who had the ability to avoid death died on the battlefield."
"Konoha has been established for 57 years. The civilian ninjas have contributed a lot to Konoha, and the ninja clans have also contributed a lot. The Kurama clan is almost extinct."
At this time, almost all the people who could stand on the high walls of Konoha were senior ninjas, and they could not hear what Wang Ming said. The emotionally excited ninjas and civilian ninjas all fell silent.
Except for children who think that ninja is a glorious profession, normal adults would not choose to become a ninja if they had a choice.
Ninja is a profession that involves killing, and it is also a profession that is destined to be killed.
No one is not afraid of death, and no one wants their loved ones to be on the brink of life and death, but...
This is the price of staying in Konoha!
After leaving Konoha, the world outside became even more chaotic and cruel.
Senju Hashirama's anger at this moment was not strong enough, he just felt that he had been blind. After all, his perception was not as good as Senju Tobirama's.
Senju Tobirama has already roughly figured out the current population structure of Konoha.
Know how many Uchiha clan members are left and how many Senju clan members are left.
Even the situations of the ninja clans such as Aburame and Ino-Shika-cho who had already gone to fight in Kumogakure could be inferred through the size of the family lands and the number of houses in the village.
After Hashirama Senju started the ninja village mode, the Konohagakure ninja clan experienced a population explosion, and the ninja population at that time was very large.
Comparing the population base of the ninja clan, Senju Tobirama knew that what Wang Ming said was true. The situation of the ninja clan was almost brought back to the state of the Warring States Period by Sarutobi Hiruzen. The Kurama clan and other families were even worse than the Warring States Period. (End of this chapter)
