The request of the Kumo Jonin immediately put the Anbu Captain in a dilemma.
On one side is the Kumo envoys, and on the other side is the Kumo Clan's Bloodline Clan, both of which cannot be easily offended, so what should he do?
Hyuga Hiashi stared coldly at the Kumo Jonin and said, "This is impossible!"
Watanabe's body has been taken away by Hyōjin, so the Kumo Clan will definitely not be able to find any results, but even so, Hiashi can't easily let the Kumo Clan enter the Clan Land to search.
Because this involves the honor of the Hyuga Clan. If the Hyuga Clan easily gives in when the Kumo Clan says that they want to search, then not only will the prestige of the Hyuga Clan be greatly reduced, but it will also expose the flaws of the Hyuga Clan.
Seeing this, the Anbu Captain quickly persuaded the Kumo Jonin, "Let's go to other places to search first, the Hyuga Clan has no reason to attack and kidnap Mr. Watanabe."
The Kumo Jonin was already prepared for conflict, so the Kumo Jonin refused to give in and said fiercely, "You Muye Clan attacked the leader of our Kumo envoys, this is a blatant violation of the peace agreement, if you don't let us search now, then I have no choice but to return to Kumo Village immediately and report to Lei Ying -sama truthfully!"
The Anbu Captain's face stiffened, and he was already a little unhappy with the Kumo Clan's unreasonable pestering.
But now that things have reached this point, he must make a choice immediately, otherwise, the hard-won peace between the two countries may be in vain.
Therefore, the Anbu Captain came to Hiashi's side and whispered in his ear, "Hiashi -sama, it is better to let them go in and check, I will control the scene and not let this matter spread out."
Knowing the sinister intentions of the Kumo Clan, Hiashi was just putting on an act, and since he had done enough, he nodded.
The Kumo Jonin looked happy, and quickly entered the Hyuga Clan Residence with his subordinates.
The Anbu Captain also followed into the Hyuga Clan Residence, and seeing that there was no trace of fighting in the residence, he was relieved.
Although Kuroto doesn't believe that the Hyuga Clan would attack the leader of the Kumo Envoys for no reason, but the accusation made by the Kumo Clan still makes him a little worried.
After searching around and finding nothing, the Jonin's face became gloomy.
The Captain of the Black Squad was no longer polite and said in a deep voice, "Since we didn't find anything, let's go somewhere else to look."
Kumo Jonin snorted coldly, "Don't be in such a hurry!"
After saying that, Kumo Jonin formed a hand seal and sensed for a moment, and then immediately looked into the distance with a puzzled expression, "Huh? Why is it here?"
…
On Hyōjin's and Zhishui's side, two people carrying Watanabe's corpse were running towards the edge of the village.
How to deal with Watanabe's body, Hyōjin hasn't thought about it yet, but taking the body away from the Hyuga Clan's land is definitely not wrong.
After a brief silence, Zhishui couldn't hold back anymore and asked Hyōjin, "Kuroto-San, do you think what Watanabe said was right or wrong?"
There is no doubt that Watanabe's words before his death had a certain impact on Zhishui, causing him to have many doubts.
Hyōjin said casually, "There is some truth to it."
Hyōjin partially agrees with Watanabe's views on the Shinobi Village system.
It has only been 50 years since the establishment of Muye Village, and the establishment of the other major villages was a little later than Muye Village, that is to say, the Shinobi Village system has only been around for 50 years.
Because of the First Naruto, the Shinobi World was peaceful in the first 10 years of the Shinobi Village's existence.
But as soon as Hashirama died, the situation immediately changed.
Excluding the first 10 years of Hashirama's existence, in the next 40 years, three great wars broke out in the Shinobi World. On average, a terrible war that affects the entire Shinobi World will break out every 13 years.
In other words, each Shinobi War will lose an entire generation, and after ten years of rest and recuperation, the new generation will grow up, and then the next Shinobi War will break out, and then another generation will be lost.
This cycle has already been repeated three times!
Zhishui asked, "Do you also think that Hashirama was wrong?"
Hyōjin said calmly, "Hashirama did miss the best time to unify the Shinobi World, but there is nothing to criticize about this."
Hashirama experienced the chaos of the Warring States period, and he wanted to change the world, so he created the Shinobi Village system. From the initial point of view, Hashirama did not do anything wrong.
But to criticize Hashirama's decision at that time is unfair to some extent, just like how no one can say for sure whether the war will disappear after the unification of the Shinobi World.
No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, so throwing all the blame of the war on the predecessors is, in fact, the manifestation of the incompetence of the successors.
In Hyōjin's view, the real mistake of Hashirama was to distribute the tailed beasts to other villages.
The purpose of Hashirama's doing this may be to let the villages maintain a balance in strength, so as to restrain each other and achieve the purpose of maintaining peace in the Shinobi World.
But contrary to what he wanted, Hashirama's action of distributing the tailed beasts instead intensified the war, causing Muye to suffer a lot.
Take the current situation as an example, if Cloud Village didn't have the two perfect Jinchuriki, Hachibi and Nibi Yugito, they wouldn't have the confidence to start a war!
Zhishui thought for a while and asked, "Then do you think that Cloud Village is right?"
"Cloud Village!?" With a chuckle, Hyōjin said with disdain, "Cloud Village may have the magnanimity to unify the Shinobi World, but unfortunately, they don't have the strength to do so."
Magnanimity is indeed important, but without matching strength, magnanimity is just empty talk.
The current strength of Cloud Village is almost the same as that of Muye.
If there is no need to guard against other villages, one-on-one, Muye wouldn't be afraid of Cloud Village at all. One must know that the current Three Generations are not the same as the old Three Generations who will be suppressed by Orochi Maru in the Chunin Exam ten years later.
Muye's problem is that every time in the Shinobi World War, he has to fight one against many.
In the face of Kumo's provocation, Konoha has to guard against the rebellion of the Uchiha Clan and other Shinobi Villages, which is why Konoha's hands and feet are tied and weak.
Zhishui asked curiously, "Isn't Cloud Village strong enough?"
In Zhishui's eyes, Cloud Village has Four Generations Lei Ying, Hachibi's Jinchuriki, Nibi's Jinchuriki, and a large number of elite shinobi headed by Nibi's Jinchuriki Yugito. Therefore, he was very surprised by Hyōjin's disdain towards Cloud Village.
