"You didn't continue to encourage him to become a ninja, but helped him open a shop he liked. What I saw in his eyes was a smile from the heart..."
"But even if I, or any ordinary ninja school teacher, wanted to help him, all I would think about is how to help him become a ninja..."
"From that moment on, I knew you were special, Qingshui."
Asuma turned around, looked at Qingshui seriously, and said in a deep voice: "So, I came to find you."
Qing Shui nodded in understanding and asked a question:
"Asuma, do you think it is worth sacrificing the happiness of some people in Konoha in exchange for the happiness of others?"
"Just like your friends who joined the Root, some of them may want to walk in the light, and some may just want to open a small shop like Inada Kojiro, but they all joined the Root."
"Although they sacrificed their lives, they increased Konoha's defense strength..."
Asuma narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, he shook his head vigorously:
"My friends, they didn't do it voluntarily! In this way, although Konoha will be strong, this kind of strength is not correct, and I don't think it can last long."
"The first generation said that the establishment of Konoha was for a group of people to unite and resist the invasion of other hidden villages..."
"But I absolutely do not agree with Shimura Danzo's behavior of attacking his own people first under the pretext of fighting against other hidden villages!!"
When Asuma said this, he clenched his fists tightly and his voice sounded like a growl.
Qing Shui smiled and said slowly: "If that's the case, Asuma, then let me ask you another question..."
"Suppose that the Third Ninja World War breaks out and Konoha is at a disadvantage. At this time, the enemy Hidden Village proposes that if Konoha hands over a few not-so-powerful ninjas, a peace agreement can be reached. If you were the Hokage, would you agree?"
Asuma was about to say something.
Qingshui signaled him not to worry and continued to add conditions:
"If the war continues, hundreds of ninjas in Konoha will die, but if we agree to their request, the enemy will cease fighting for at least ten years and usher in a relatively long period of peace."
"Think about this carefully and tell me, what will you choose?"
Asuma visibly hesitated, thinking.
Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes. Compared to the hesitant Asuma, he answered much more straightforwardly:
"What a stupid question! If any of Konoha's high-ranking officials were to hand over the ninjas in the village because of the armistice agreement, I would be the first to kill him! Monkey and Danzo, even if they make some small mistakes, they can't be so stupid..."
"This is not a question of how many Konoha ninjas died. This is a question of the integrity and will of a village!"
"If you don't even have the courage to fight for your friends and enemies, then there is no need for Konoha to exist!"
Qing Shui looked at Senju Tobirama with great interest and asked with a smile:
"What if the same problem occurred during the First Shinobi World War, and the hostage the enemy proposed to exchange was an Uchiha?"
"Little devil, who do you think I am?"
Senju Tobirama sneered disdainfully:
"It's true that I discriminate against the Uchiha clan, but that's because I monitor every factor of unrest inside and outside the village."
"But that doesn't mean that I will solve the conflicts within Konoha outside the village."
"If I do that, I won't be worthy of being the Second Hokage!"
Qing Shui applauded Senju Tobirama and said softly, "I believe you, Tobirama."
And at this time.
Asuma was troubled by Qingshui's advanced question, and he also made his own decision in the struggle, as if he was really the Hokage, and said word by word:
"Aoi, I will not hand over any Konoha ninja, even if it's just a Genin!"
I have a meeting this morning, and I’m afraid I won’t have time to slack off, so I’ll write a chapter first!
I also recommend a friend's book:
[Direct train + introduction below]:
Is your company serious? Why are you involved in games, movies, and music?
Lin Yuan: That’s how it is to make games!
Chapter 48: Think more, Asuma has a new laning target!
"Very good, Asuma."
Qing Shui laughed from the bottom of his heart, his smile full of appreciation: "Like you, I think so too."
"So, what do you think the current Konoha high-level officials will do when faced with the situation I described?"
Qingshui had no intention of answering Asuma's questions from the beginning. Instead, he asked questions, guiding Asuma's thinking step by step with questions, and letting him answer the questions himself.
This conclusion was drawn by Asuma after careful consideration and was not imposed on him by Qingshui. It is extremely profound and firm in his heart.
"I-I don't know!"
Asuma frowned, a hint of panic in his eyes.
Will the current Konoha high-ranking officials really refuse Qingshui's suggestion of sacrificing some ninjas in exchange for a peace agreement?
Asuma actually already had the answer in his mind, but his background as the son of Hokage, combined with that outrageous answer, was too much of a shock to him.
That kind of village is completely different from what Asuma imagined Konoha should be like!
Forget about the Will of Fire. If that were the case, Konoha would have become a man-eating hell... The Will of Fire hat could be put on a Konoha ninja's head and he would die!
Qing Shui admired Asuma's panic, but he comforted him with his words: "I don't know the answer to this question, Asuma... Even if you have some guesses, you can't make a conclusion about something that hasn't happened."
"But if you already have fear in your heart, it means that you are not satisfied with the current situation of Konoha."
"In this ninja world, if you want to change something, the correctness of your thoughts is often secondary. Military force is the key to ensuring that those insects dare not speak..."
Qing Shui tugged at Asuma's sleeve, looked at the scorch marks on it, and said, "Are you practicing fire attribute chakra transformation?"
Asuma nodded awkwardly, "Aoi, it's like this, the Sarutobi clan is good at fire escape."
Qingshui nodded in understanding and then raised a finger.
A red flame snaked up from Qingshui's fingertips and danced freely in the air.
Asuma stared intently at the flame that looked like a flying dragon.
He is connoisseur, this is the advanced fire attribute chakra form and property change!
"Qing Shui, you are not only so proficient in water attribute chakra, but also in fire attribute chakra!"
Asuma looked at Qingshui with admiration, and then thought of Qingshui's origin, scratching his head: "I forgot that you are from the Uchiha clan, Qingshui..."
Qingshui smiled and shook his head, clicking his fingers.
I saw more flames appearing in the air, and these weak and lively flames gathered together one by one.
Asuma stared at the scene in a daze.
Suddenly, the flames just now have become thick fire dragons, roaring in the air!
The fire dragon seemed to have life, hovering above Qingshui's head, looking at Asuma majestically and gently.
"Asuma, I am very grateful that you can tell me something from your heart today."
Under the power of the fire dragon, Qing Shui's face did not look majestic, but was made more gentle by the firelight: "In this somewhat depressing village, it is really difficult to find a like-minded person..."
"But like I said, if you want to make the village a better place, you need strength to support it."
"Asuma, if you believe me, just relax your mind. I will use these eyes to help you unleash your potential."
Qingshui generously showed his Sharingan, and the previously scarlet Sharingan now looked warm and clear under the illumination of the flames.
Asuma stared into Qing Shui's eyes and murmured, "This... this is the Sharingan, it's totally different from what I heard..."
After a moment, Asuma felt Qingshui's warm eyes and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Qingshui!"
The magatama was spinning violently.
In the illusion, Asuma seemed to have turned into Qingshui, lighting up flames with his own hands, watching them gradually grow, become stronger, and gather together to become a fire dragon that illuminates the world and dispels darkness...
Asuma basked in the feeling.
The light and darkness of the fire dragon gave him a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he himself was the growing flame...
After a long time.
Asuma slowly opened his eyes.
Qing Shui stood in front of him with a smile, the fire dragon was hovering in his palm at this moment: "Asuma, catch him!"
Asuma subconsciously stretched out his hand, only to see the violent fire dragon attacking his palm. He was startled and heard Qingshui's encouraging words:
"Believe in yourself, you can do it!"
At this moment, the remaining touch of the illusion world gradually revived in Asuma's memory.
Asuma gritted his teeth and boldly stretched out his hand...
At this moment, Qing Shui's fingers were moving slightly, controlling the intensity of chakra.
"Qingshui, I did it, I did it!"
Asuma looked at the fire dragon in his hand with ecstasy. Even though his thoughts might be focused on the village and the will of fire, he was still just an eight-year-old child.
Asuma was extremely surprised that Qingshui could master such powerful techniques, and his affection for him reached the peak!
What senior jonin teacher of the Sarutobi clan?
Not as good as a stalk of Qingshui!
Qingshui looked at Asuma who was jumping and dancing with a smile, slowly put his hands together and put away the fire dragon.
"Asma, many things are difficult and seem impossible to accomplish, but if we want to change the status quo, we must at least have the courage to try..."
Qing Shui looked straight at Asuma and said slowly, "Just like the village now, you and I are just ordinary ninja school students. How difficult is it to make the village what we want it to be?"
“But there are some things that you can’t not do just because they are difficult.”
Asuma's expression became serious and he nodded seriously: "Qingshui, I understand!"
"To be honest, I even thought about becoming a wandering ninja to escape from this situation that I couldn't stand but couldn't change..."
"But if I have you, Qingshui, I think I have enough courage!"
