"Regarding this point, I wonder if Kouki-sama has any thoughts."
Inside the temporary base, Fugaku Uchiha, Hizashi Hyuga, Suzaku Nara, and other Konoha leaders were present, seated around Kouki.
Suzaku Nara opened the discussion, his eyes fixed on Kouki in the main seat.
"There's no need to consider such things," Kouki said, waving his hand dismissively. "The Eight-Tails is our Konoha's trophy of war. Other villages have no right to interfere. If anyone disagrees, they're welcome to come find me."
The leaders were slightly taken aback.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi was Hokage, his policy was to be submissive externally and aggressive internally. Kouki's style was completely different.
It was extremely assertive.
The leaders were a little unaccustomed to it at first.
But it had to be said that it was more refreshing to have Kouki-sama in charge. Unlike the previous Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was restrained, concerned about the opinions of other villages, and simply too stifled.
"Then, Kouki-sama, what are your plans for the follow-up issues regarding Cloud Village?" Suzaku Nara asked again.
Cloud Village had just signed a peace treaty with Konoha, but turned around and tore up the treaty to attack Konoha.
Now, even if they were defeated miserably by Konoha, they couldn't justify their actions, and Konoha could still operate well. Naturally, they couldn't just let it go.
"How about…" Kouki said calmly, as if he were talking about something trivial, "…just occupying Cloud Village."
Just… occupying Cloud Village?
The moment Kouki said this, it was as if he had given everyone a heavy blow, stunning everyone present.
The temporary base was silent, so silent that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
Fugaku Uchiha, Hizashi Hyuga, Suzaku Nara, and the other leaders looked at each other, and all saw the same shock and disbelief on each other's faces.
Cloud Village was one of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world, second only to Konoha and ranking second in the ninja world.
Even if they were defeated this time, everyone was thinking at most about how to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder as many resources as possible from Cloud Village and demand strategic compensation, nothing more.
But Kouki actually wanted to annex and occupy Cloud Village in one fell swoop?
The boldness and forward-thinking of this idea greatly stimulated the Konoha leaders.
"Kouki-sama, are you serious?"
After several seconds, Fugaku Uchiha stared at Kouki with a hint of surprise and asked to confirm.
"Of course I'm serious." Kouki still looked so nonchalant. "Wouldn't it be good to treat Cloud Village as a branch of our Konoha?"
Treat Cloud Village as a Konoha branch?
The leaders were once again stimulated by Kouki's words. They felt that this idea was too crazy to even listen to, and they only felt that their hearts couldn't bear it.
"I don't care what the previous Hokage's style was, but I don't offend others unless they offend me, and if anyone offends me, I will never let them go. This is my style!"
"The Third Shinobi World War is basically over. I won't bring up old grudges. If Cloud Village is honest, I naturally won't touch them."
"But this time, they invaded Konoha first, so don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Cloud Village can invade Konoha, why can't our Konoha invade back? Do you really think that I, Kouki Uchiha, have a good temper?"
"They thought that Konoha was empty and wanted to bite Konoha, but they failed because of insufficient strength. But even so, they must choose to bear my anger!"
"Every ninja village must pay the corresponding price for their choices!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Kouki slowly opened his mouth, saying his thoughts in a calm voice.
It was as if he was talking about something unimportant.
Fugaku Uchiha, Hizashi Hyuga, and other Konoha leaders were sweating slightly on their foreheads. They really couldn't keep up with Kouki's extremely domineering style.
"Kouki-sama, the current pattern of the ninja world has been slowly formed after many years of development." After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Suzaku Nara said to Kouki with a serious expression, "If Cloud Village is really occupied, it will break this pattern!"
"And once this pattern is broken... I'm afraid the ninja world will fall into turmoil again!"
"Suzaku, you're mistaken." Kouki turned his head and stared at Suzaku Nara, saying calmly, "From the moment I truly stood on the stage, the pattern of the ninja world has already been broken."
Suzaku Nara was speechless.
The other Konoha leaders were also speechless.
Kouki's words sounded extremely arrogant at first, but after calming down and thinking carefully, they were very "simple." Kouki really wasn't bragging.
Kouki was a ninja at the level of the God of Shinobi, and this kind of ninja alone possessed the power to sweep through a ninja village.
One person really possessed the power to break the pattern of the ninja world!
"Whether the ninja world will fall into turmoil or not, I can't control that much, but as long as I sit in the position of Hokage, I will fulfill the duties of Hokage."
"Even if the ninja world turns upside down, I can sit in Konoha and keep Konoha from being affected by the turmoil in the ninja world."
"Moreover, ever since the First Hokage established the system of one village per country, when has the ninja world been peaceful? Large and small wars have continued, and there have been three Shinobi World Wars alone!"
"What difference does it make whether the ninja world's pattern is broken or not?"
"Do you have any other concerns?"
Kouki's words caused the temporary base to fall into a brief silence.
Kouki-sama is right!
The normal state of the ninja world was turmoil. As long as each village held power in its hands, and as long as each village still had the desire to pursue interests, then war would never stop.
Whether it was the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, or even the Third Hokage, they had always been well-behaved, and never actively disturbed other countries.
Even the keynote set by the First Hokage to the outside world was tolerance and harmony. If other villages had difficulties and needed help, Konoha would not hesitate to lend a hand.
It could be said that they had given more or less favors to the villages.
Especially the equal distribution of tailed beasts, which established the ninja world status of the five major villages in one fell swoop, which was equivalent to giving them heavy weapons like nuclear weapons.
This kindness was great.
But what was the result?
If you don't provoke others, it doesn't mean that others won't provoke you!
Even if Konoha was so "well-behaved," it didn't get any peace in return. The wars that Konoha experienced were not fewer than other ninja villages, but were even more numerous!
