Not to mention the recent Third Shinobi World War, where almost the entire ninja world ganged up on Konoha, with Konoha fighting four nations at once!
The opposite was Cloud Village. Cloud Village was a militant nation with a consistently domineering style. They dared to harass even Konoha, the strongest village in the ninja world, repeatedly, let alone other villages.
Yet, Cloud Village had always been doing well, hadn't they?
In the end, the ninja world didn't operate on reason. The only rule was the power of the strong, and the right to speak belonged to those with the biggest fists.
Not actively invading other villages was Kouki's principle of righteousness, but if other villages provoked Kouki, he would never show any mercy.
"Kouki-sama,"
After a moment of silence, Hizashi Hyuga spoke again. "If we truly occupy Cloud Village, the other ninja villages will definitely not sit idly by…"
"Cloud Village attacked Konoha, and not a single village stood up to speak out. Now that Konoha is acting against Cloud Village, they'd best keep their mouths shut."
"If anyone objects, they're welcome to come and find me. I may not have other skills, but I do have some tricks for dealing with those who are disobedient."
Kouki said nonchalantly.
"Hizashi, your worries are completely unnecessary. With Kouki-sama's current strength, why should we care about the other villages?"
Ibiki Morino spoke from the side, echoing Kouki's words.
"You misunderstand. I have no doubts about Kouki-sama's strength. I'm just concerned that Konoha has always been a nation that advocates peace. If we actively occupy Cloud Village, our reputation over the years will be ruined..."
"Reputation, fame, these are meaningless things," Kouki interrupted Hizashi Hyuga directly. "The First Hokage's methods are outdated. I won't be following them."
"Kouki-sama, there's another point we need to consider," Suzaku Nara spoke again, his face serious as he said to Kouki, "The Land of Lightning behind Cloud Village."
This was a more constructive issue worth considering.
In Naruto, ninja villages were dependent on the existence of the countries. After all, ninjas didn't engage in production. Their main source of income was various commissions, large and small, as well as financial support from the countries behind them.
If it was just fighting, the countries wouldn't react too much, at most providing financial support from behind.
But if the ninja village they belonged to was directly destroyed, then the country behind it would definitely jump up in anger. The Land of Lightning behind Cloud Village would definitely not sit still.
Even Konoha, the strongest village in the ninja world, is unwilling to clash with such a behemoth as the state apparatus.
"That belongs to the mediation between countries. We don't need to worry too much. If the Land of Lightning really intervenes, don't we have the Land of Fire behind us?"
Kouki said sharply.
The Konoha leaders inside the temporary base had nothing more to say.
"Since everyone has no further questions, then it's settled. When I succeed the Hokage, it will be the day of Cloud Village's demise!"
Kouki made a final decision, stood up directly, and walked out of the temporary base as if nothing had happened.
Leaving behind Fugaku Uchiha and the other Konoha leaders looking at each other. They were still somewhat unaccustomed to Kouki-sama's style.
However…
If Kouki-sama took office, perhaps he would truly lead Konoha into a new and better era.
A hint of anticipation filled the eyes of the Konoha leaders.
"Kouki-sama!"
"Kouki-sama!"
Walking leisurely on the street, many of the passing villagers had already begun to greet Kouki with respect.
Kouki had placed the Eight-Tails at the entrance of Konoha, and many villagers had already run over to see it.
Therefore, the Konoha villagers no longer had any doubts about the almost fantastical "stories" that Koharu Utatane had told before.
While being extremely shocked, their attitude towards Kouki had completely changed.
From the previous resistance and dissatisfaction to fervent support and admiration.
The demands of these ordinary villagers were actually quite simple, they just hoped that there would be no more wars and that they could live a stable life.
And Kouki Uchiha was the person who could bring them the most hope!
Who else would they support but Kouki?
"That guy Kouki is already so supported by everyone?"
Might Guy saw Kouki in the crowd, muttering to himself with a trace of absentmindedness.
In just a few days, his good friend had transformed into such a high and mighty figure.
Might Guy was finding it difficult to adapt.
"Kouki is about to become Hokage, I have to work even harder! I hope I don't fall too far behind this guy! Youth is all about chasing after each other! First, I'll run three hundred laps around the village!"
Might Guy did as he said, and disappeared in a flash.
...
Mount Myōboku.
On a vast expanse of ground, countless complex and difficult-to-understand patterns were drawn haphazardly. They were, in fact, one sealing formula after another.
Around the sealing formulas were placed altars, burning according to a specific pattern.
Fukasaku and Shima, the two Great Sage Toads, sat in specific positions, their hands clasped together, unmoving.
However, Jiraiya, who was on the side, could feel a strange power surging back and forth within the two Sages and the great formation.
At the very center of the great formation was a "humanoid vessel" that had no life force and wasn't even a human body. The core of all the power surge was this humanoid vessel.
It was a reincarnation vessel specially made by the two Sages using Mount Myōboku's secret techniques.
The soul of Hashirama Senju, summoned from the Pure Land, would attach itself to this body to achieve rebirth.
"It's already the seventh day. I wonder how things are going in Konoha," Jiraiya said, pacing back and forth with a worried look on his face. "I hope the ritual can be completed successfully!"
However, despite being very anxious, there was nothing Jiraiya could do except pace back and forth.
He didn't even dare to approach, but watched from a distance of dozens of meters, for fear of disturbing the two Sages and causing the ritual to fail.
After pacing anxiously for about two hours, Jiraiya suddenly stopped, sharply turned his head, and stared unblinkingly at the body lying in the center of the ritual.
He saw a faint, indistinct energy body rushing into the body.
Immediately afterward, the face of that body began to squirm and change. In the blink of an eye, a sunny and handsome face appeared before Jiraiya's eyes.
