Tobirama, understanding the unspoken meaning, instantly grasped Kazuki's intent.
Indeed, Danzo, as a super boss, was a little lacking. If it were Madara, the effect would undoubtedly be better. But the thought of potentially cooperating with Madara filled Tobirama with disgust.
"If it's for the sake of peace, some sacrifices are acceptable." Kazuki gently reassured him, seemingly sensing Tobirama's emotions.
Tobirama could accept a disciple like Kagami. As Tobirama, he was eager to destroy the Uchiha clan, but as Hokage, he was eager to bring the Uchiha clan under his control and make them his subordinates, as they were a very useful fighting force.
At the same time, he also wanted to keep the Uchiha clan in check.
From Tobirama's perspective, he naturally hoped Madara would just die.
However, from the perspective of the entire Ninja World, Tobirama hoped Madara would live a long life, even forever, after understanding the truth of the Ninja World, and then become a hidden danger to the Ninja World, providing both experience and promoting peace in the Ninja World.
"How about we kill Madara, then use Edo Tensei to revive him and let him cause trouble? That way, whatever Madara does will be within controllable limits, otherwise, I don't trust him." Tobirama asked eagerly.
Kazuki's face darkened.
Why was Tobirama so extreme when it came to Madara?
"Let Danzo handle it first. We can use them to do some things, and if Danzo chooses to cooperate with Fugaku, it won't be bad for us. At worst, we'll just deal with all these guys later. Both Fugaku and Danzo are excellent experimental subjects, aren't they?" Kazuki looked at Tobirama, implying something.
Tobirama nodded helplessly. In the end, Danzo was simply not good enough, and Kazuki didn't even care about him.
However, compared to Madara, everyone else paled in comparison.
"I will transmit this information." Tobirama sighed lightly and agreed.
Danzo was still very useful. If he weren't, he would already be dead. Tobirama didn't believe Kazuki would be lenient with his opponents. Even Madara was spared only because he had exploitation value.
Mito's death had a considerable impact on everyone. Without Mito, that stabilizing presence of a woman, the joy of Kazuki and their gatherings was greatly diminished.
Everyone still gathered in Mito's courtyard, but there was no longer the selfless elder who guided them. For a time, neither Kushina nor Mikoto could get used to it.
Jiraiya had returned to the village, but a large number of missions awaited him every day. This was his punishment for behaving like a deserter during wartime.
Even with so many missions, the compensation Jiraiya received was only a very small portion. This was punishment for Jiraiya, so the corresponding remuneration was naturally reduced.
Not cutting all of his compensation at once was already Hiruzen, as Hokage and his teacher, giving Jiraiya a break.
At first, Minato wanted to help Jiraiya with his missions, after all, Jiraiya was his teacher, and Jiraiya had laid the foundation for Minato when he was still weak.
Minato now bore Kazuki's imprint, his Ninjutsu and combat skills were all taught by Kazuki but he still planned to repay Jiraiya in some way.
Moreover, Jiraiya's missions were certainly difficult, and Minato's current strength was not bad. It was a good opportunity to gain experience in combat, and the combat experience Minato and others had accumulated during the war had already been mostly digested, so continuous combat was needed to further promote growth.
However, he was favored by Tobirama and kept for instruction.
Don't assume Tobirama only had Water Release and forbidden Jutsu. In reality, Tobirama was quite skilled in various Ninjutsu. Both Hiruzen and Danzo were taught by him. Even Koharu and Homura were trained by him to the level of an Elite Jonin.
If Hiruzen and Danzo had their own clan inheritances, then Koharu and Homura were entirely taught by Tobirama.
Don't underestimate Elite Jonin. In a Ninja Village, they are absolutely the backbone.
Tobirama was quite proficient in the Wind Release, Sealing Jutsu, and Flying Thunder God Technique that Minato needed to learn. Undoubtedly, when Tobirama witnessed Minato's terrifying learning ability, his space-time talent no less than his own, and even his superior neural reaction speed, he was delighted to find a new challenge.
In Tobirama's heart, Minato was the most suitable successor to his legacy.
Aside from conducting experiments, he usually taught Minato and Nawaki.
If Minato was suitable for learning his series of forbidden Jutsu and the Flying Thunder God Technique, then Nawaki, his grandson, also made Tobirama quite satisfied. He was a bit clumsy, but he made up for it with diligence, and with Samehada, Nawaki's strength was commendable.
Nawaki could perfectly inherit his entire series of Water Release Ninjutsu.
Compared to Tobirama, Orochimaru was much more at ease. Nawaki was handed over to Tobirama for instruction, so he didn't need to worry about him.
As for Mikoto, she usually followed Kazuki for lessons, so he didn't need to teach her either, nor could he teach her much.
As for Hizashi, he was just there for show. If one day Ōtsutsuki cell transplantation was needed, Hizashi might be useful.
Isn't the Hyuga branch family meant to serve the ain family?
They can't possibly let Rinka, a member of the Main Family, undergo cell transplantation first, can they?
