Chapter 9: Use a Sledgehammer to Gently Open Your Heart

Chapter 9 - Use a Sledgehammer to Gently Open Your HeartHashirama didn't criticize Tobirama too harshly, he also knew that Tobirama did it for the sake of Konoha, and he only prioritized his own village's interests.

"Sir, according to Tobirama, wouldn't the drawbacks of dividing the Bijuu be more beneficial for Konoha?"

On the one hand, the division of the Bijuu allows Konoha to gain great benefits, on the other hand, the potential danger of the Bijuu riot can severely weaken other ninja villages.

Then how could Konoha lose?

Isn't this a safe victory?

At least from Tobirama's perspective, even if he was opposed by the Bijuu from Kumogakure this time, Konoha would still win in the future.

Hiruzen and the others just need to remain stable and do nothing.

Konoha Village's comprehensive strength will sooner or later far surpass the other four villages.

Even Tobirama looked at Lux with curiosity, hoping to know where his plan went wrong from the mouth of the 'immortal' who allegedly could travel through time and space and predict the future.

Lux smiled faintly and asked Tobirama again.

"Nidaime, if it were you, what would you do after knowing the drawbacks?"



"Of course, we have to find a way to overcome the drawbacks."

"What will other villages do after they find out that the Bijuu is very strong but the Jinchuriki is unstable and prone to riots?"

"Find a way to improve sealing techniques, find a way to improve the adaptability of the Jinchuriki, until they can fully control the Bijuu. But this is not something that can be easily done. It will take at least a few decades to run and develop it..."

Tobirama's assessment is correct. The villages have indeed been working hard for decades before successfully cultivating Killer Bee, Yagura, and Uzumaki Naruto. Even the latter has nothing to do with village cultivation. The latter was born from pure breeding, plus the guidance of Kumogakure Village, and the cheating of his parents.

"Then leave Konoha with the Kyuubi, which will never lose control. Do you think this village is too comfortable or do you think it's too stupid and will just stay silent?"

Lux's sudden question woke Tobirama up!

An overly comfortable environment will only make society lazy, so future generations will not have the experience of dealing with Bijuu riots.

Especially when other villages continue to make progress at the cost of many casualties.

As long as you stay where you are now, you are regressing, not to mention you are still regressing slowly!

Actually, the Bijuu riot has indeed brought many casualties and problems to the other four villages.

Sunagakure Village needless to say, Shukaku has driven several generations of Kazekage crazy and to death.

Kirigakure Village is similar. Several times the Jinchūriki went berserk and killed a large number of Kirigakure ninja elites.

Iwagakure Village has an old turtle named Onoki. Although he can suppress the Bijuu, he also forced several Jinchūriki to leave the village one after another.

Not to mention Kumogakure Village, without the extraordinary strength of the Third Raikage, Hachibi would have destroyed the village many times.

However, over these decades, other villages have harvested a lot of wool from the Bijuu.

Sunagakure Village developed Magnet Release and Fake Sleep Techniques by re


"You haven't come to a conclusion yet? No need to rush to answer."

"Let me ask two more questions."

"Senju Hashirama, what kind of will of fire do you want to inherit?"

"Senju Tobirama, is it right if you choose to stay and end with your life?"

Hashirama: "Will of Fire?"

Tobirama: "Huh?"

Is it wrong to risk your life to survive and die?

Isn't this unreasonable?

"No need to rush, let's go to the future first and see the story of the next Hokage. It's not too late for you to answer."
