"So you went to the Warring States Period before Konoha was established.
Not the Warring States Period with monsters? "Lantern Full Moon said thoughtfully," Interesting.
What kind of person is Konoha's God of Shinobi? Did he go to the Land of Water? "
"No, he didn't. Hashirama is quite … how should I put it? "
He's a real person. "Hyuga Yumi finished another bowl of beef rice as she spoke.
She stacked the bowl on top of the seven or eight bowls next to her.
She took the next bowl of black pepper steak rice from Lantern Full Moon and ate it. She needed to recover Chakra quickly.
A lot of food was essential, although it was more efficient to take soldier food pills.
But if she could eat properly, who would want to eat that? Before she left, Yumi Hinata knew that she would need to recover Chakra when she came back, so she had already arranged her diet.
Yumi Hinata said, "You've heard the legend about him and Uchiha Macula, right?"
Lantern Full Moon nodded, "It's a bedtime story when I was young.
But it's usually as a villain. "
Yumi Hinata laughed, "His image is really not good to be a villain, but Uchiha Macula is really suitable. Kakashi and I stayed in Konoha for a while before it was established. Let's not talk about their personalities.
Most of the legends about their abilities are quite reliable. "
Lantern Full Moon's eyes widened slightly, "That's …" He quickly thought of a question.
"The first Mizukage and several other Kages, how did they fight against Hashirama without being destroyed?"
Yumi Hinata said, "Ask him why he didn't unify all the Ninja Clans? That kind of involuntary rule must have killed a lot of people to stabilize it, and he probably didn't want more people to die. "
She looked at Lantern Full Moon's expression and said with dissatisfaction, "Really! I didn't mean to flatter Konoha — I wanted to discredit them. "
Lantern Full Moon nodded indifferently. "Do you still want to eat?"
The amount of Chakra she had now was not what it used to be. In the past, she would have used up more than half of her Chakra to teleport. But now, it was only slightly taxing for her.
After eating two more bowls of rice, he felt that it was enough. Yumi Hinata said, "It's about time. I'll give Kakashi some initial treatment."
Hatake Kakashi had woken up.
He was staring at the ceiling.
She heard Yumi Hinata come in.
He tilted his head slightly. "I'll have to trouble you again."
Yumi Hinata created four clones to perform the Mystical Palm Technique with her. "It's no trouble at all. I'll send you to Konoha tomorrow. Are there any reliable medical ninjas in Konoha now?"
Hatake Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "You're going to look for Zetsu."
Yumi Hinata said, "I'll go to the Land of Rain first and see if Payne can contact him."
Hatake Kakashi emphasized, "According to our agreement …"
Yumi Hinata interrupted him. "Yes, according to our agreement, I won't kill him before you see him. But I have to kill Zetsu first, and Zetsu is with him. Do you know what Zetsu means?"
Hatake Kakashi said, "If I expose Zetsu, then Zetsu will know that this is a conspiracy."
Yumi Hinata raised the corner of her mouth without a smile. She didn't think so, but it didn't matter. "Yes, it's best if you can come with me, but your treatment will take about nine to ten months. It's much better than the first time. Kakashi, you're improving fast."
Hatake Kakashi's only exposed eye stared straight at her, waiting for her to make a promise that satisfied him.
Yumi Hinata sighed. "Okay, I know, Kakashi. I'll wait for you to recover. You have too much confidence in me. Zetsu's ability is really unreasonable. I may not be able to win."
Hatake Kakashi finally looked away. "You're too modest. You can win."
Hatake Kakashi had practiced with Yumi Hinata so many times in the past few years and watched her practice with others. He had more confidence in her than she did in herself. As she said before, her reaction speed was the slowest among the three Thor users. She was even slower than Kakashi. But now, the situation had changed.
It seemed to be the result of practicing with Tobirama Sentete in the past few months. Just like Yumi Hinata's other combat qualities, her reaction speed was also improving. If she couldn't keep up with Tobirama Sentete's rhythm in the past and could only rely on fancy Thor moves, now she was on par with Tobirama Sentete in this aspect.
Apart from combat experience and tactical thinking, as a Thor user, she had surpassed Tobirama Sentete in all aspects.
Although Hatake Kakashi had not seen Uchiha Zetsu use Kamui, according to Yumi Hinata's weakness, Zetsu could only run away with his incorporeal form. Once he tried to attack with his physical form, Yumi Hinata would definitely catch him.
If he was caught by someone who could cast Thor marks all over his body, even if he didn't die immediately, he would be on the list of the Grim Reaper.
Yumi Hinata said helplessly: "You really have confidence in me."
Although Hatake Kakashi repeatedly tried to stop her, Yumi Hinata strangely didn't hate his behavior. On one hand, it was because on the basis of their agreement, his obstruction was powerless and wouldn't delay anything. On the other hand, it was also because Hatake Kakashi, who protected Uchiha Zetsu based on his feelings and wishes, was much more pleasing to the eye than the cold, emotionless Hatake Kakashi who only cared about Konoha's interests and used himself as a tool.
It was even a little intimate.
When the treatment was about to end, Lantern Full Moon came in with their Sky Ring and Cyan Ring: "Payne is trying to contact us."
Yumi Hinata was a little surprised. After defecting, the two of them certainly wouldn't be so kind as to return the rings, but this was the first time Payne had tried to contact them.
She handed the treatment to a few of her Shadow Clones and looked at Lantern Full Moon. Both of them had curiosity and eagerness in their eyes: "Just in time, let's hear what he has to say."
In addition to the two of them and Payne, there was also Xiaonan who appeared in the Phantom Lantern Technique. Yumi Hinata now knew that Xiaonan and Payne were both Jiraiya's students, so of course she was Payne's most trusted aide.
"I say, Payne -sama, look at how leisurely you are, you still have time to care about us. Is it because Jiraiya -sama hasn't found you yet?"
Payne was unmoved: "Jiraiya -sensei has too many restrictions, he won't cause any hindrance to me."
Yumi Hinata smiled. Indeed, Jiraiya was a man. Konoha's existence made him, but at the same time, it also bound him.
She asked: "You took the initiative to contact me and Full Moon today. If it's not to locate us and let others attack us, then it's to negotiate?"
That's right, Kage and quasi-Kage level defectors weren't so easy to find. After she and Lantern Full Moon defected, Uchiha Zetsu was now seriously injured and didn't know if he had recovered. His combat ability was almost zero in front of the other members, only Payne, Xiaonan, Cape Town, Scorpion and Pipa Shizang could be used. The other peripheral members were far from enough. If someone was sent to kill them, it would be too much of a waste of manpower.
Payne said coldly: "It depends on whether you want to stop me or not."
Yumi Hinata: "Stop you from achieving Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
Payne: "I'm not interested in Infinite Tsukuyomi."
It's not the same as Uchiha Zetsu's purpose, then he's not just Zetsu's puppet as she thought before. Even if her strength has improved a lot, she has to admit that Payne's Rinnegan is strange and powerful. Such a person, and also the leader of Jiraiya on the surface, he must have his own purpose. What does he want from the Akatsuki?
Yumi Hinata asked her question.
Payne probably wanted to sell a wave of benefits to her and Lantern Full Moon by the way. He explained in detail his initial plan to use a large number of cheap war commissions to force the major ninja villages to either shrink their ninja formations or face financial difficulties. The only way out for the major ninja villages facing financial difficulties is to provoke foreign wars and divert internal conflicts.
In this process, the Akatsuki, as an external mercenary, can eat the East and eat the West. They can help whoever entrusts them and expand the war as much as possible. When the entire ninja world is involved in the war and has suffered heavy casualties, the people who are still alive will begin to yearn for peace and so on.
In short, it's a rationalized version of hiding the information of the Juubi, but for Payne, as long as the final goal is the same, it's fine.
"To be honest," Yumi Hinata said sincerely, "Your plan sounds very sick, and the degree of sickness is comparable to Zetsu's Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Xiaonan, who has been silent, raised her eyes slightly: "So you want to stop us?"
Yumi Hinata said helplessly: "Don't be so murderous."
"To be honest, I don't care about you, the Land of Rain, or the world. And in my opinion, whether it's the Akatsuki's plan or Zetsu's Infinite Tsukuyomi, it's impossible to let peace and stability cover every corner of the world. Even if peace is temporarily achieved in most of the land, this peace won't last long. "
"Although I don't think ninjas are tools, ninjas can't dominate the war. I'm not talking about the kind of war where one person fights against the whole world. I'm talking about the kind of chaotic war where countries and villages kill each other on a never-ending scale."
"War is part of the world and part of human beings. Maybe one day war will naturally disappear, but before this natural process happens, people like you, like Zetsu, or like Uchiha Macula, are trying to take shortcuts. People who take shortcuts, history will naturally teach you a lesson. "
Payne said coldly: "So you choose to do nothing."
Yumi Hinata smiled: "No, I just don't have time. I prefer Hashirama's approach. Let ordinary people experience prosperity and stability, and also experience war and blood, and then let them choose for themselves. If most ordinary people in the world choose the same path, then those who go against them, even if they are gods, will die. "
Payne, who claimed to be a god, smiled: "Ordinary people? Those — weak, ignorant, ordinary people? "
Yumi Hinata nodded: "Yes, those ordinary people who seem weak and ignorant to you. Weak bodies can be trained, and stupid minds can be learned. One day, all ninjas will disappear in history. Just like samurai, only ordinary people can dominate the world. "
In the dark cave, only the four shadows of the Genjutsu kept flashing, and their eyes were almost shining in the darkness. After a long time, Payne suddenly said: "I can sense that the last place where Zetsu's Mysterious Ring appeared was in the country of water."
Yumi Hinata's eyes flashed: "Uchiha Zetsu and Zetsu are together?"
Payne: "Then you have to find it yourself."
After he finished speaking, he deactivated the Genjutsu.
Xiaonan looked at Payne worriedly: "Nagato …"
Payne looked at her comfortingly: "I'm fine, but from now on, Akatsuki will enter a period of hibernation. Before we gather all the tailed beasts, whether it's Konoha or Yumi Hinata, we don't need to be enemies with them. "
Xiaonan said: "But we still don't know how to make the Ten Tails from the nine tailed beasts. If Yumi Hinata finds Uchiha Zetsu first …"
"Since he is Uchiha Zetsu, why does he call himself Madara?" Payne said, "I'm afraid he's not the first person who wants to realize the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Payne: "It doesn't matter even if she kills Uchiha Zetsu, we can find Uchiha Macula. It doesn't matter even if Uchiha Macula is completely dead, as long as there are traces left in this world, we will find the secret of the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the way to make the Ten Tails. "
"In fact," Payne said, "I already have a guess."
Yumi Hinata and Lantern Full Moon's consciousness also returned to the hotel room. She glanced at Kakashi, the treatment was over, and he had fainted again. This weak state will last for two or three days, after which he will be sent to Konoha.
Lantern Full Moon asked her: "Is what you said true, the power of ordinary people?"
Yumi Hinata: "Huh? I thought you would ask Akatsuki if they gave up on hunting us. "
Lantern Full Moon: "Since Konoha has noticed them, and Jiraiya has come to their door, I don't think they have the energy to pay attention to us for the time being."
Yumi Hinata smiled: "Yes, ordinary people have such power."
Ordinary people, ninjas, in the end, are all human, and there is no reproductive separation between the two, so why can ninjas look down on ordinary people who outnumber them by a thousand times? Payne said that ordinary people are ignorant, but in her opinion, ninjas are the ignorant ones – they know nothing about true power.
Lantern Full Moon asked, since Hashirama is so powerful, why doesn't he unite with Uchiha Macula to unify the ninja world, the implication is probably to maintain absolute peace with unification and high pressure. This is probably the traditional thinking of ninjas. Only Hashirama himself sees the truth of the world: if he really does this, then the ones who will be crushed in the end will be him and everyone behind him.
That's why he said to Tobirama Sentete: the rules you make don't only require ninjas to agree, but also civilians and nobles. That's why he tried to use tailed beasts to balance the power of countries, trying to let people of all countries get used to peace, and one day they can't bear the huge losses caused by war, and there will be no large-scale war in the world.
This road may not necessarily work, but Hashirama's method was already the best attempt a ninja can make at his time.
Although Payne said "weak, ignorant ordinary people", his intention is also to use the fear of most civilians to limit ninjas. It's just that in his plan, those civilians who were harmed by the war he planned, and those who survived will have an indelible scar in their hearts, presumably he doesn't care. No, he just wants to leave this eternal scar to warn others.
These two roads are not necessarily better, but Payne's method must be worse – although in Yumi Hinata's view, maybe this is the more practical way.
Just like in his previous life, if it were not for the deaths in the two world wars that shocked all the major countries in the world and led to the trend of reflection and anti-war after the war, where would the longest and largest peace in human history that lasted for seventy to eighty years come from?
The deterrence of the nuclear powers was one thing, the fear of war, and the nostalgia for the prosperous times were another.
But even then, in places where most people couldn't see, in the corners of the world, the sound of war never stopped.
Lantern Full Moon: "Yumi?"
Yumi Hinata came back to her senses: "Hmm? Oh, yes, you asked me. To be honest, I never thought about this before until I met Hashirama. He really didn't hesitate to spread his ideas to everyone. It just so happened that I was no longer trapped by the Caged Bird at that time, so I thought about something. "
"I'm just an ordinary person," Yumi Hinata said. "Except for using a little ninjutsu, I'm no different from the owner of the hotel, the little girl who cleans up our room, and most people in the world."
"How many ninjas are there? The total number of ninjas in the five major countries is no more than 150,000. Including the Nōnin and defectors from the small countries, there are no more than 200,000. As for ordinary people, the total number of people in the five major countries is more than 150 million. Including the small countries, there are more than 200 million. The ratio is about 1: 1000. "
"Full Moon, half of the ninjas are genin. You know their fighting power. Even ordinary people have a chance to win. A quarter of them are chunin. Many samurai in the Land of Iron have the strength to defeat them. After that, there are jounin and people like you and me. "
Yumi Hinata supported her chin and said slowly: "When I was a child, I often thought, if ninjas are so strong, why do they need to take missions from ordinary people to get paid? Later, I realized that the people who established this system really put a lot of thought into it. If they don't deal with ordinary people and set the two sides against each other, the ninjas will be destroyed. "
"…" Lantern Full Moon said for a long time, "I didn't think about this."
"But today's ninja system is no longer what you said." Lantern Full Moon said, "People who don't want to be ninjas can only be defectors."
Yumi Hinata smiled at him: "Yes, just like you, just like me."
"That's not right." She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling people on the streets of the Land of Hot Water. There were tourists from all countries, street vendors, samurai with swords, and arrogant nobles, but there were almost no ninjas as far as the eye could see. She opened her eyes and could feel the Chakra in twos and threes in the City Lord's mansion. The City Lord also hired ninjas to protect her, but the ninjas who claimed to be tools hardly walked on this bustling and beautiful street.
"This is not right." She murmured again, "Whether it's a ninja or a civilian, everyone should have the right to choose. Choose to be a ninja or not, choose to learn ninjutsu or not, choose to put yourself in war or protect peace. A person should not be a tool of others. The world now is not right. "
Lantern Full Moon couldn't help but walk behind her: "What do you want to do?"
Yumi Hinata turned back and smiled at him: "I'm still thinking. It's impossible for an ordinary person like me to be a hero like Hashirama or a war starter like Payne. It's beyond my ability. "
