Chapter 96 The Road (2)(1/3)
Facing the question raised by Shiraishi, Tsunade's eyes showed obvious displeasure, and her expression turned completely cold.
Even Shizune, who was sitting next to Tsunade, could feel the burning anger burning in Tsunade's heart at this moment, and glanced back and forth between Tsunade and Shiraishi with worried eyes.
Tsunade took a deep breath, trying not to let others feel the anger in her words.
"If you want to show off your talents, I admit that everything you have done in the Kingdom of Ghosts is excellent. But this cannot be used as a reason for you to humiliate my grandfather. Please take back your words."
In terms of his ability to govern the country, even if Tsunade felt a little unhappy, she could not deny Shiraishi's excellence.
However, compared to her grandfather Senju Hashirama, the weight is still too light.
Because her grandfather, Senju Hashirama, was the ninja god who created an era and established the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world.
Tsunade would not allow his reputation to be questioned or humiliated by anyone.
What's more, in Tsunade's eyes, Shiraishi has only changed the structure of one country in the Kingdom of Demons. Compared with his grandfather's great achievements in changing the structure of the entire ninja world, this is not worthy of praise.
Shiraishi just blew on the tea cup in his hand to disperse some of the heat.
It can be said that Tsunade's reaction was completely within his expectations.
If a person who has lived in Konoha for decades and believed in the Will of Fire for decades has his will shaken because of his own few words, then he would be underestimating the cohesion of the God of Ninja.
Having seen the strength of the old Uchiha Madara, Shiraishi could only be thankful that in this era there were no ninjas as godlike and demonic as the Ninja God.
Konoha is a ninja village founded by the God of Ninja, and it can be said that all believers in the God of Ninja.
Outliers like him are inherently special cases among special cases.
He continued to talk nonsense here, denying and questioning the system created by the God of Ninja. Tsunade didn't punch him directly in the face, which was considered a good temper.
"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sensei. Although I am indeed rude to your grandfather by saying this. But if we don't open up the issue for discussion, then this conversation will be meaningless."
"In that case, I won't accompany you. You can enjoy yourself here. Shizune, let's go."
Tsunade snorted, stood up, and prepared to leave with Shizune.
"Is this really good? Or is it that Teacher Tsunade is really not interested in my purpose? This is a rare opportunity to get information from me. If you miss this time, Konoha will pay a heavy price in the future.
If you get information from me, you may even get nothing."
Shiraishi's words came from behind, and Tsunade stopped in her tracks. It seemed that she was not interested in his affairs at all.
Indeed, Konoha never gave up researching Shiraishi for a moment.
However, no matter how much intelligence is collected, there is no way to know what Shiraishi's purpose is.
Even in the last response to Jiraiya, the concept of purpose was very vague.
I just vaguely noticed that Shiraishi would continue to plot something.
As Shiraishi said, if he leaves here because of a moment of anger, he may have to pay a hundred times a thousand times in the future to figure out what Shiraishi's purpose is.
This is not a good thing for Konoha.
Konoha paid an extremely heavy price in the War of the Kingdom of Wind, and its understanding of Shiraishi is still only half-scale.
This shows how cautious Shiraishi is in blocking his own information.
Tsunade sat back again, but her eyes when looking at Shiraishi were still full of evil and vigilance.
Shiraishi didn't care about this. He didn't want to anger Tsunade, but if he wanted to open up the conversation, this was a necessary step.
"Where should we start next? Let's start with the ideals and ambitions of the first generation. If the teaching materials of the ninja school have not tampered with the will of the first generation, then the fire will be passed down endlessly and bring peace to the ninjas.
World peace is the original ideal of the first generation. Based on this beautiful vision, he and the Uchiha clan founded the Konoha Ninja Village. Later, this system was imitated by various countries, and the era of one country, one village followed. "
Shiraishi spoke eloquently.
"It's really rare that someone like you who defected from the village can still understand my grandfather's ideals. This must be thanks to the knowledge you learned in the ninja school."
Tsunade said sarcastically.
Shiraishi smiled and said: "I don't deny Konoha's help to me, but growing up in such an environment, I don't like Konoha's conservatism. This is due to my personal will and has nothing to do with the education of the ninja school.
Moreover, I should have used the name of the Aster Flower Merchant Association to provide Konoha with a large amount of drug research materials later on, and I knew this as a way of repaying the favor. After all, I was the only one who 'died' once in Konoha.
"
It refers to the time when he was plotted by Danzo when he was a child.
That was the moment Shiraishi was closest to death for the first time in his history.
No matter how tolerant and generous he was, he could not forget the impact that incident had on him.
It was also at that time that he could no longer trust the higher-ups in Konoha.
With the help of the Uchiha clan, he hid himself even more carefully to prevent Konoha senior officials from noticing his will to gradually deviate from Konoha, and disguised himself as a loyal successor to the Will of Fire.
Tsunade could not refute Shiraishi's point of view. From this perspective, Shiraishi did not owe Konoha anything.
The drug research information Shiraishi gave to Konoha also saved the lives of many Konoha ninjas during the war.
Therefore, even if he attacks his former companions, Shiraishi can make himself cold-blooded and ruthless and no longer let the village shake his will.
Because it was not the high-level officials of Konoha who protected Shiraishi, but the Uchiha clan.
Since the death of the Second Hokage, the relationship between Uchiha and the top management of Konoha has been very bad.
Even if you are willing to repair it, you will be blocked by those who are interested in it, and you will not be able to reunite with the Uchiha clan.
"Getting back to the subject, the original intention of the first generation to establish the Ninja Village is indeed a wonderful vision. At the same time, he gave the Uchiha clan enough tolerance and allowed them to integrate into Konoha. From the perspective of the leader
, he has many shortcomings, but I cannot deny his personal charm, which can affect everything of that era."
This is probably a truly mythical character.
Regardless of the outcome, good or bad, a great figure who created an era will always be deeply imprinted in people's hearts, and they can't help but follow him.
"As long as you know."
Tsunade's tone softened, and the boy finally said some honest words.
If the other party continued to humiliate her grandfather with harsh words, Tsunade didn't know if she could restrain the anger bursting out in her heart and hold back from fighting against Shiraishi.
"So, what do you mean when you said before that you have negative thoughts about the one-country-one-village system? Although many ninja wars did break out after my grandfather's death, we in Konoha have been working for peace.
We must work hard to be kind to others and not easily antagonize any country or village.”
In Tsunade's view, it was the lack of abilities of her descendants that caused her grandfather's ideals to be tarnished.
Otherwise, peace can be maintained forever.
"Tsunade-teacher, this can only represent your personal opinion, and it cannot represent that Konoha now will act with your will. Because you are not Hokage."
Feeling the fluctuations in Tsunade's state of mind, he also knew that such words were a bit unpleasant, so Shiraishi did not dig deeper in this aspect.
Because there are conservatives and radicals within Konoha.
The radicals headed by Danzo have no way of being kind to others. They stabbed Hanzo in the back, framed Akatsuki, and controlled Amegakure Village behind the scenes. No matter how you look at it, it is inconsistent with Tsunade's idea of not being in harmony with any country and the Ninja Village.
This is also Konoha's biggest problem today.
Regardless of whether the policy is good or bad, Konoha, which cannot even unify its opinions, can only end up standing still.
Tsunade clicked her tongue. Although Shiraishi's words were a bit unpleasant, they were indeed true.
She is not Hokage, and there will always be a few cancers appearing in the darkness of Konoha Village to hinder the development of the village.
"Okay, let's get back to the question you asked, Tsunade-sensei. Compared with the Warring States Period, what kind of changes do you think the one-country-one-village system has brought to the ninja world? Sir, has it really changed anything?
?”
"This is an obvious problem. Although countries are now fighting openly and secretly, the overall environment has stabilized, and the average life span is higher than during the Warring States Period. This is undeniably the work of my grandfather."
Tsunade said definitely.
"I don't deny this. But what I'm asking about is not this, but the system."
Shiraishi said with a smile.
"system?"
Tsunade frowned and looked at Shiraishi.
"I have said it before, compared with the ghost country, it is difficult for all countries to pay attention to the development of people's livelihood. Why is this?"
"This is not something that can be changed overnight. It took you more than ten years to pull the Kingdom of Ghosts together."
After all, if you want to bring a small country into the structure of a big country, it is really nonsense to do it in a few years.
Among big countries, competition is not only about military power, but also population, territory, etc.
The Kingdom of Ghosts can now only be called a military power, not a great country.
In terms of territory and population, it is far less powerful than the big countries.
"Then why, after decades of establishing the one-country-one-village system, have the five major countries still failed to make any changes?"
Shiraishi asked this question.
"How is it possible that no changes have been made? The emergence of the Ninja Village is changing."
Tsunade still insisted on her own ideas.
To be continued...
