Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade in surprise.
Do you have a plan too?
It is true that people who keep company with bad things will become bad! Oh no, it is true that people who keep company with good things will become good!
"Good idea, Teacher Tsunade, we can also use the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body..."
Qing Shui narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "The Nine-Tails' chakra suddenly leaked out, causing a certain degree of damage. The ninjas from other villages will understand that we cannot use the power of the tailed beasts, and will strengthen their confidence in invading."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned. Did Mr. Aomizu even plan for this step?
Sarutobi Hiruzen said hesitantly:
"Qing Shui, won't this boost the enemy's morale too much? When they can't see the village's genius and the Nine-Tails can't be used in the war, I'm worried that they will unite and attack Konoha collectively."
"That's what I want. I need them to attack Konoha with high spirits and heads held high..."
Qing Shui snapped his fingers and said slowly: "It's best to charge forward as a large group and secure victory in one fell swoop!"
"Otherwise, how can we kill more enemies in one go?"
Hearing Qing Shui's tone that was as cold as ice, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart trembled. It was a familiar feeling.
But out of fear of the combined power of the tailed beasts and the four hidden villages, after hesitating for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen still asked tentatively: "Aosui, I support your deployment of the Root, but I am the Hokage after all, and I still want to know more..."
Tsunade sighed and said unhappily:
"Old man, you are the Hokage! I know you want Qingshui to grow up as quickly as possible, but you really should share some of the pressure!"
"It's not good to always be a hands-off boss!"
Listening to Tsunade's accusation, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly: "It's all for the purpose of training young people. It's also good to give up power in advance, Tsunade..."
He is the Hokage?
He is indeed the Hokage, but the Third Hokage is not as powerful as the Second Hokage!
Tsunade didn't see how the arrogant Hokage assistant was beaten to a pulp by the Second Hokage with just three punches and two kicks. Now he can only eat once a day, and his chakra is blocked in the Konoha prison, tied up like a puppet...
If he, the Third Hokage, doesn't do well, his fate will probably be better than that of an assistant Hokage, but it won't be much better...
After experiencing so many things, Sarutobi Hiruzen has a more comprehensive understanding of the will of fire burning in his teacher's heart.
Tsunade shook her head: "Old man, you are a little extreme. Before, everyone criticized you for not giving up power, but you can't give up power so thoroughly, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen almost couldn't hold it anymore, he was an extreme person, wasn't he?
"Tsunade-sensei, this is also to train me, I understand..."
Qingshui said in a deep voice: "After all, my background is special. Since I have abilities, I naturally have more responsibilities."
"Since the Hokage wants to know, I, as the leader of the Root, naturally have the obligation to report truthfully..."
"At present, the Root is conducting research on biological warfare, chemical warfare, and anti-aircraft warfare. The main means of combat are to create a blasting force using the Aburame clan's pot poison technique, Tsunade's toxins, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, the Multiplicative Detonating Talisman Technique, and Higurashi's Ghost Bud Ra Technique. Combined with Orochimaru's repair of the floating fortress of the Hidden Village in the Sky, and relying on my Flying Thunder God Technique, we will carry out a decapitation operation against the enemy's geniuses and leaders!"
"The tactics that have been completed so far are to deploy the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique that can be manually self-destructed on the corpse. I am arranging for the ninjas in the Sealing Class to practice the operation and popularize it in the Root."
Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to these words in a daze, and for a moment he felt that there was too much information in his brain.
"Qingshui, what does this Kidome no Jutsu mean by creating a Explosive Release Army..." Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but ask. At this moment, he felt as if he had never understood Konoha.
"The Kisara Technique is one of the forbidden techniques that Tobirama-sama has not yet completed but was perfected by Hiruko. It can transfer the enemy's bloodline limit into one's own body. Combined with Orochimaru-senpai's android technology, we can try to mass-produce bloodline limit ninjas."
Qingshui explained patiently:
"However, since it is mass-produced, the effect of the bloodline limit may be a little worse. However, after the improvement of the bloodline limit of Bakuton, it can mass-produce clay that can detonate. It is a superior substitute for the Exploding Talisman. We still have to win by quantity."
"We don't need to rely on the production capacity of the arsenal. We can prepare the corresponding explosives in advance and drop them from the air to carry out a saturation attack on the ground."
Artificial human technology, plundering bloodline limit...
Sarutobi Hiruzen searched for the image of Hiruko in his mind, but with all the information he knew, he could not connect this ordinary jonin with the Kidome no Jutsu that could plunder one's bloodline limit.
Hokage has always been a very low-key jonin in Konoha, and his existence is almost invisible to others.
How could such an honest man learn such a forbidden technique at the root level?
Do not make jokes!
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly, as expected of Tobirama's teacher, he used forbidden techniques and still had to find a poor jonin to take the blame...
He must be used to being restricted by Hashirama-sama and Mito-sama, right?
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was complaining in his heart, every time he heard of a forbidden technique that broke the current bottom line of the ninja world, he felt inexplicably relieved, so much so that some of the remaining pressure just now dissipated, and he felt relaxed from the bottom of his heart.
Especially the anti-aircraft attack that Qingshui mentioned, Sarutobi Hiruzen only thought about it and understood the horror of this dimensionality reduction attack.
Almost all ninjas have very little ability to counter attacks from the air.
"Qingshui, I can probably understand what you said..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to follow Qingshui's thoughts and rhythm: "The Explosive Release Ninja is only in Iwagakure, right? Do you need my Anbu to help? I remember that these elite ninjas were well protected by Ōnoki..."
Qingshui blinked. It seemed that Old Deng had finally awakened?
"No need for that. Hatake Sakumo and the new Root Finance Minister Kakuzu have already captured an entire Explosion Force unit."
Qingshui looked at the direction of the roots and said with a chuckle:
"Orochimaru should have started the autopsy now. He is using the android technology to replicate enough cells so that Hiruko can transplant them into the bodies of the Root Ninjas using the Kidana no Jutsu."
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth slightly, and his expression became a little distorted.
He received a lot of information...
Sarutobi Hiruzen originally thought that Hatake Sakumo left the village because of an inner blow to travel around the ninja world. He was still thinking about how to calm Hatake Sakumo down and let him return to Konoha and contribute to the village in the Third Ninja World War!
I didn't expect that Qingshui had dug it into the roots?
And isn't Kakuzu the strongest bounty hunter in the ninja world? Legend has it that he has the strength to rival the Kage!
How did he join the Roots?
Qing Shui stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen's strange expression, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked softly: "Hokage-sama, is the current action of the Root somewhat inconsistent with the Will of Fire?"
"Please give your instructions. The Root welcomes inspections from the Hokage at any time."
If Qingshui calling him Hiruzen made the Third Hokage feel a little pressured, then the title of 'Hokage-sama' completely made his heart skip a beat!
Qingshui would never call him that. This kind of address, which is half threatening and half dissatisfied, can only be called in such a sarcastic way by a person...
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly put on a smiling face and said loudly: "It fits very well, it fits the Will of Fire very well!"
"In order to protect the companions of the village, use some forbidden techniques and recruit some like-minded people in the ninja world. This is the true will of fire!"
"It's just that Qingshui, you did such a great job that I, the Hokage, feel a little ashamed..."
Qing Shui nodded in sudden realization, his eyes full of sincerity: "If there is any problem, you must provide timely guidance to the Root, you are the Hokage of Konoha!"
But in Sarutobi Hiruzen's ears, these words became another tone -
"Monkey, there's nothing wrong with what I did. If you're fine, just roll aside and wait for orders. I'm the Hokage of Konoha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen forced himself to keep a straight face: "Don't worry, Qingshui, I will, I will!"
Only Tsunade shook her head in dissatisfaction and ruffled Qing Shui's black hair fiercely: "If it weren't for you, the evil Uchiha brat, I wouldn't use medical ninjutsu to make poison!"
"Come on, old man, criticize Qingshui. I don't think he has the will of fire!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly and pretended not to hear. After all, he was just a poor disciple of Senju Tobirama, not a pampered granddaughter. If he said something, he would be held accountable in the future...
"Qingshui, the future of the village is in your hands!"
Qing Shui nodded: "I will do my best..."

at the same time.
Uchiha clan territory, clan leader's residence.
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yaowei sat opposite each other, drinking tea in silence.
Recently, Uchiha Fugaku has keenly observed the changes in the Uchiha clan. Many three-magatama clan members have disappeared inexplicably in the village. They are all clan members who support Qingshui. No one knows where they went...
Combined with the news that Qingshui was in control of the Root, even if Uchiha Fugaku was dumb, he could connect the two together.
Although he racked his brains, he could not predict that the day would come when the Uchiha would take charge of the Root, but as the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku could not tolerate the situation where his clan members quietly left him.
The Uchiha Yakumi in front of him was a current member of the Root, the most supportive member of the Uchiha clan, and one of his best friends.
"Yaowei, do you have anything to tell me about the recent situation of the Uchiha clan?"
Uchiha Fugaku spoke slowly: "I need to know some information."
Uchiha Yaowei thought for a moment and shook his head firmly: "Fugaku, I have no comment."
"All I can say is that the future of the Uchiha and the village lies in Master Qing Shui. I hope you can recognize this."
Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed.
How long has it been?
His best friend, who used to be his best friend, actually called Qingshui "Sir". His loyalty was chilling...
"The smell of medicine. I always need to know some information before I can make a judgment."
Uchiha Fugaku stared at his friend and said in a deep voice: "I am the head of the Uchiha clan. I have been dealing with the village's high-ranking officials for more than ten years for the sake of the clan. Don't I have the qualifications to know the clan members' movements?"
"It is true that Uchiha Qingshui has gained high-level power, but my contribution to the Uchiha is also real, and you have seen it with your own eyes!"
Uchiha Yaowei looked at Uchiha Fugaku with mixed feelings.
Did Uchiha Fugaku work hard for the Uchiha clan?
Maybe there is, but judging from the results, it’s the same as not having it.
In the past, compared to Uchiha Setsuna and other Uchiha clan members, Uchiha Yaowei could only support Uchiha Fugaku, who was still relatively rational.
But ever since Qing Shui appeared, Uchiha Yaowei has deeply realized how big the gap is between people who can get things done and those who are just idiots...
"Fugaku, you need to reflect on yourself. Your so-called sacrifice..."
Uchiha Yaowei sighed: "I know you can feel it. All the clan members have chosen Qingshui. You, the clan leader, have gradually become a decoration. You will not feel good in your heart..."
"But there is no other way. The Uchiha clan is a clan that worships the strong. No one will take your hard work into consideration in the face of real achievements. Put aside your hypocrisy and welcome the new era."
"The future obviously lies in the hands of Lord Qingshui. Whether in terms of strength or vision, you are too far behind him."
