Chapter 114: Hinoka
It is difficult for people who live in peace to call for peace.
Just like it is difficult for people who have enough food and clothing to imagine hunger.
Only when war comes will people cherish peace.
Only when despair comes will people pray for hope.
War will make arms dealers rich.
Of course, it can also make doctors who save lives and heal the wounded, and liars who sell faith appear brilliant when they comfort people's physical and mental pain caused by arms.
The most extreme darkness will give birth to the most extreme light.
If Ning Qi wants to create a savior, then the best thing in this world is suffering everywhere.
And Shimura Danzo is just one of the very few people who can bring suffering to Konoha and even the whole world.
Ning Qi did not expect that failing to kill the other party would bring such a change.
The "Konoha Heroic Spirits" that suddenly appeared in the black market intelligence are obviously the work of Orochimaru's improved "Immortal Reincarnation". After the other party defected from the Akatsuki organization, he did not establish his own Sound Village and conduct research on immortality as the original development, but instead colluded with Danzo.
What is certain is that this must be caused by the three major ninja villages of Rock, Mist, and Cloud attacking Konoha together.
I just don't know how Danzo persuaded Orochimaru, who had deep malice towards Konoha, to help.
Could it be that a cold-blooded character like Orochimaru still has a lingering attachment to Konoha?
This possibility is not impossible. Most of these characters in the Naruto world have similar contradictory psychology. The masked man obviously hated Kakashi who killed Rin to the extreme, but even if Ning Qi created an opportunity to send Kakashi to him, he still let Kakashi go because he "didn't want to be used by Ning Qi."
In the original work, Orochimaru also planned to destroy Konoha a few years later, but no one can tell whether that was for the purpose of destroying Konoha or just to relieve the gloom in his heart that Minato had robbed him of the position of Hokage a few years ago. After all, before the plan started, he secretly plotted against the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who had already formed an alliance with the Sound Village and was determined to attack Konoha. This kind of attack on the friendly side was not a rational decision, so it can only be judged that he did not really want to destroy Konoha.
From the performance in the original work, he sneaked into Konoha through the Chunin Exam, probably half of which was to find his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen to "reminisce" and the other half was just to select suitable subordinates and reincarnation containers. Cooperating with the Sand Village to destroy Konoha during the Chunin Exam? Don't be kidding! !
Thinking of this, Ning Qi paused.
"Turn around... container?"
He probably guessed the real content of the deal between Danzo and Orochimaru.
Establishing the Sound Village and working hard by yourself is obviously not as comfortable as relying on the entire Konoha supported by the new generation of Hokage. Didn't Orochimaru betray Konoha before because the taboo experiment was discovered by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the then third generation Hokage?
Now that we have learned the lesson, as long as we push Danzo to the position of Hokage, everything will be fine.
And Danzo and Orochimaru do have a high affinity. One of them is a politician obsessed with power, and the other is a scholar obsessed with research. More importantly, they are both the kind of guys who do things without any bottom line to achieve their goals.
These two people working together may really accomplish great things...
"Is your reform plan really for the realization of world peace?" When Ning Qi was sighing, Hashirama behind him suddenly asked.
"Can't you see what the Hidden Sword Village looks like now?" Ning Qi raised his head and asked, "This is the model I provide for the major ninja villages."
Hashirama looked past the window and looked at the academy at dusk, saying: "I like it here very much, but to be honest, I haven't seen the real difference between the Hidden Sword Village and other ninja villages yet."
"That may be because you have been here too short," Ning Qi replied indifferently, "You can ask Mei Terumi in your spare time. She is teaching in the village now. She was my enemy before..."
"Oh, you may not know her now, but Mei Terumi is the future fifth generation Mizukage. She has now deeply realized the superiority of the Hidden Sword Village system and plans to promote this system to the Hidden Mist Village."
"Really," Hashirama nodded slightly, then glanced at Ning Qi, and moved his fingers behind his head. He asked: "Then the tree in the back mountain..."
"Don't worry about it." Ning Qi interrupted him.
After the improvement of analytical ability, the Impure World Reincarnation restored Hashirama's strength to a great extent. Since he could sense the White Zetsu hidden in the trees, he could naturally sense the abnormality of the White Eyes God Tree in the back mountain.
After all, half of the daily practice results of 50,000 people in the entire Wave Country were absorbed by this tree.
"So, peace is not pure... Do you really have other purposes?" Hashirama sighed and said.
"Hypocritical peace is always more just than bloody war." Ning Qi grinned, which was an indirect admission.
Although Hashirama found it difficult to admit it, he did not refute it. After drinking a cup of tea, he quickly left here without talking.
Ning Qi asked him to start class tomorrow morning. He was a little nervous and had to be prepared tonight.
Ning Qi was the only one left in the room. He stood by the window. The wind blew from the west, which was the direction where the moon rose and the direction where Konoha was located.
Ning Qi had not thought that Danzo would use Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation to help Konoha turn danger into safety. Although from the details of the black market intelligence, Ning Qi, who had also improved the Impure World Reincarnation, could clearly see from those few words that Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation still had many defects such as insufficient duration, the caster could not control the Impure World Reincarnation, and could only act independently. Compared with the Impure World Reincarnation that Orochimaru used to fight Sarutobi in the plan to destroy Konoha in the original work, there was still a certain gap.
But at least, this technique has undergone a qualitative change, and even played a powerful role in reversing the entire battle situation on the battlefield of Konoha.
Ning Qi's judgment of the situation in Konoha was wrong at the beginning, but it didn't matter. The key was the other changes brought about by the Impure World Reincarnation ninjutsu.
For example, the resurrection of the Hyuga clan's main family spirits who mastered the caged bird curse seal on Ning Qi's forehead.
They probably hated themselves to death...
"We still have to prepare early." Ning Qi said softly.
The final stage of the Byakugan breakthrough did not bring relief from the caged bird curse, but it greatly impacted the strength of the curse. Once triggered, the caged bird could no longer hurt Ning Qi's life, but it was still easy to blow Ning Qi's eyes out.
Although he had escaped from the cage, and even the Hyuga clan no longer had the distinction between the main family and the branch family, the shadow of this clan still lingered like a maggot.
Ning Qi pondered these things.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Someone knocked on the door.
Ning Qi put on a wooden mask in his hand.
"Come in."
The person who came was the Kirigakure rebel ninja - the demon Zabuza. He had recently been so respectful to Ning Qi's identity as Hashirama that he had to knock on the door when he came in.
This was the chain reaction caused by Hashirama's appearance in the Kirigakure battle not long ago.
"Mr. Hashirama, I brought the person you are looking for to you." Zabuza turned sideways, and a somewhat restrained red-haired girl slowly walked out from behind him.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Ning Qi, with her hands behind her back, and the big toes of her two bare feet twisted together to fight.
"Hello... Mr. Hashirama... I, my name is Hinokana."
Uzumaki Hinokana said in a low voice.
