For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to ignore some possibilities and put all the responsibility on Namikaze Minato, who became the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
"Somebody come!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted towards the door.
"Sandaime Hokage-sama!"
"Call the top leaders of Konoha and tell them I have a very important meeting."
"Yes, Sandaime-sama Hokage."
The Konoha civilian ninja left, and Sarutobi Hiruzen sat back in his chair.
He lit the pipe in his mouth, and the tobacco leaves became brighter and darker as Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked. The firelight shone on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, making his complexion become brighter and darker.
A turbulent undercurrent is quietly brewing...
Chapter 203 A fantastic idea.
After repelling the combined forces of the Fuu and Toru ninjas and cleaning up the battlefield using earth-style ninjutsu, Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato sat side by side on a small mound.
"Ming, are you feeling better?"
"almost……"
After a brief conversation, the master and disciple fell silent again.
Although the killing of the two men brought huge casualties to the enemy, what was more important was that it left an indelible fear in the enemy's heart.
Correspondingly, as killers, and killing more than 5000 people at a time, the suffering they had to endure was no less than that of the ninjas from the two countries of Fudo.
Ninjas have strong psychological endurance, but no matter how strong they are, they still need some time to adjust.
After all, people are all made of flesh and blood, and it is simply unrealistic to say that there is no stress response.
"teacher……"
Hatake Akira was the first to adjust his mentality. "We have to hurry up and make some arrangements. I'm worried that the Fudo Ninja Alliance will make some different moves."
"Well, the rest time is indeed long enough."
Namikaze Minato looked up at the setting sun and said, "However, I think the Fudo-Ninja Alliance will not attack again in the short term."
"Too……"
Hatake Akira nodded and agreed, "They should be scared to death, right?"
"I'm not scared to death, but it will take some time to adjust my mentality."
Namikaze Minato smiled, then looked at Hatake Akira, "What do you think of this war?"
Hatake Akira was a little stunned by Minato Namikaze's sudden question, but he soon figured out the reason.
Human beings’ reverence for life comes from their fear of death.
War is a meat grinder that creates mass deaths, and Minato Namikaze, who is in the midst of it, cannot help but feel something.
“This is a philosophical question, teacher.”
Hatake Akira raised his eyebrows, "Is this a bit embarrassing for me?"
"Really?" Namikaze Minato smiled, "I think you should have the answer I want in your heart."
"I dare not give the answer, it's just my humble opinion."
Hatake Akira cleared his throat, "I think war is an extension of politics, a trend of interests, and an inevitability of human nature."
"When the superiors need it, war will start for various reasons."
"When interests conflict, wars break out."
"Human nature is relatively simple. Never being satisfied is the driving force behind people waging wars, and plundering will never cease."
"So..." Hatake Akira looked at Namikaze Minato, "War is inevitable, and permanent peace only exists in ideals."
Minato Namikaze listened very seriously, but Hatake Akira's remarks still made him frown deeply.
"Ming, is there really no... permanent peace?"
"Have!"
Hatake Akira actually overturned his own words, which made Namikaze Minato look at him in surprise.
But the next words from Hatake Akira almost broke Minato Namikaze's defense.
"But the prerequisite is that all human beings must be exterminated!"
"This……"
Namikaze Minato was stunned for a long time, then punched Hatake Akira, "Is there really no other way to organize a war?"
"There is a way to reduce the frequency of wars..." Hatake Akira rubbed his shoulders, "Although wars cannot be avoided, at least we can maintain peace for more than four generations."
"You were talking about unifying the entire ninja world, right?"
Namikaze Minato had the answer in his mind, "But to achieve this goal...it will be very difficult."
"No matter how difficult it is, someone needs to do it, right?" Hatake Akira smiled, "And you, teacher, have the ability to do it."
"Me?" Namikaze Minato pointed at himself, "Don't be ridiculous. Even the first Hokage couldn't accomplish this. How could I possibly..."
"Teacher, please don't underestimate yourself."
Hatake Akira shook his head and looked up at the half-remaining sunset. "It is true that Senju Hashirama's strength far exceeds ours, but he is still too idealistic and too soft-hearted."
"But you are different."
"Although your strength is not as good as Hashirama Senju, your strength is also unique in the current ninja world. And with my assistance, your ceiling will be very high."
"And your personality also determines that you are not an idealist."
"You can be ruthless, but you can also use gentle means to eliminate some deep-rooted hatred."
"Am I...as good as you say?"
In the face of Hatake Akira's words, Namikaze Minato seemed a little surprised. He himself didn't know that he had so many advantages.
"Of course!"
Hatake Akira nodded repeatedly, and added in his mind, "I have seen the finale, I know exactly what you are like."
"Okay." Namikaze Minato touched his nose, "I admit it for now..."
"But Ming, you have to fulfill your promise!"
"Me? Fulfill my promise?" Hatake Akira pretended to be confused, "Why can't I remember what conditions I promised the teacher?"
"Haha, it has to be you, Ming!" Namikaze Minato laughed heartily, "I remember you said you would assist me, so before you accomplish my goal, you can't fall back into your old ways and become lazy again."
"Well...it depends on the situation."
Hatake Akira did not give Minato Namikaze a very accurate answer, "Let's talk about everything after the war is over..."
Bringing the topic back to the war, Hatake Akira looked worried, "Teacher, I think the next two countries of Fengtu will invade the Fire Country in a way that will make us very uncomfortable."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Namikaze Minato naturally followed up what Hatake Akira said and said, "See if your ideas have anything in common with mine."
"Teacher, do you think the two of us can resist the combined ninja forces of the two countries of Fudo?" asked Akira Hatake.
"If we want to launch an attack like today, I think we can not only withstand it, but also inflict heavy damage on them again!" Namikaze Minato answered decisively, and at the same time, the murderous intent in his words could not help but be revealed.
"They also know this." Hatake Akira sighed, "If Kazekage Rasa and Tsuchikage Ōnoki are not stupid, they should break up the troops into small pieces next."
"We thought the same thing..." Namikaze Minato also looked worried, "If that's the case, we alone won't be able to stop the infiltration of the Fuu-Tu-Lian ninjas."
"That being said... there is still a solution."
"What method?!" Namikaze Minato looked at Hatake Akira suddenly, his eyes full of hope.
In the eyes of Minato Namikaze, Akira Hatake's ideas are always wild and unpredictable, but these vague ideas can always create satisfactory effects in strange ways.
"Flying Thunder God Barrier!"
"Flying Thunder God Barrier?" Namikaze Minato was unable to wrap his mind around it for a moment, "It seems that the Flying Thunder God Barrier is not very effective, right?"
"A single Flying Thunder God barrier is indeed not very effective, but what if it stretches for hundreds of kilometers?"
"This……"
After hearing what Hatake Akira said, Namikaze Minato instantly understood Hatake Akira's plan, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.
Constructing the Flying Thunder God barrier that stretches for hundreds of kilometers, not to mention the time it takes, the amount of chakra required to activate it alone is so huge that it is difficult to estimate.
Even though Namikaze Minato is now the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he dare not guarantee that his chakra is enough to maintain the Flying Thunder God barrier that stretches for hundreds of kilometers.
As if seeing the worry in Minato Namikaze's heart, Hatake Akira immediately gave his own explanation.
"Teacher, do you still remember the fan-shaped defense circle set up by the Kumogakure ninja troops when we rescued the Daimyo of Yu-no-Kuni?"
"Remember!" Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up, "You mean..."
"We don't really need to connect the Flying Thunder God Barrier end to end. We only need to deploy a series of small fan-shaped Flying Thunder God Barriers to cover the hundreds of kilometers of the Fire Country's hinterland defense line."
"And when we set up the fan-shaped Flying Thunder God barrier, we can number them and ask some Hyuga clan ninjas to help with reconnaissance."
"As long as the infiltrating enemies appear within the range of the fan-shaped Flying Thunder God barrier, the Hyuga clan's ninjas will definitely be able to find them in the first place."
"Once we find it, we can quickly determine which barrier to activate based on the information from the Hyuga clan ninjas."
"In this way, we can accurately teleport the invading Fuu-Toryu ninjas to the predetermined teleportation locations we have arranged in advance."
As he said this, Hatake Akira made a gesture of stretching out his hand to wipe his neck, "When the time comes, no matter how many of them come, we will kill them all!"
Pop, pop, pop!
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but applaud, "Excellent, what a brilliant strategy!"
"Hehe, it's just so-so..." Hatake Akira smiled and waved his hands, then his face became serious again, "But it will take a long time to complete my vision."
"If we rely on just the two of us... we may not be able to do what we want."
"Just find someone to help..."
Namikaze Minato smiled and then formed seals with his hands.
