After passing three open sentries and five secret sentries, Hashirama
brought Tobirama and Chihoshi to a three-story building with no
buildings within dozens of meters around it and it was heavily guarded.
If Hashirama hadn't told her in advance that it was a study, Qianxing
would have thought it was a prison for serious criminals.
After following Hashirama's footsteps into the room, the first thing that
caught my eye was a huge sand table model.
On the sand table, someone has already inserted small flags representing
each family into the corresponding positions on the sand table map.
Behind the model is a huge map hanging on the wall that covers the
entire ninja world and also marks the upcoming marching route of the
Senju clan.
The surrounding blank walls were filled with many wooden shelves,
which stored various scrolls of different sizes. It was obvious that those
scrolls should contain a lot of secret military intelligence.
And there are probably many secrets on the second floor as well.
Watching Chihoshi looking around, Hashirama couldn't help but feel a
little proud.
"The things in my study were built and designed according to your
suggestions. Qianxing, please give some comments on them."
Looking at Hashirama, his tail was about to lift up and he almost wanted
others to praise him, it was really a bit inconsistent with the identity of a
clan leader.
Therefore, Qianxing decided to teach him a lesson.
"Let's talk about this map first. It even has detailed markings on the
mountains, rivers, and you can tell you put a lot of effort into it."
"right?"
Hashirama wiped his nose proudly. After all, intelligence had never been
his strong point since he was a child, so he was often criticized by
Tobirama and Senboshi.
But now he finally got Qianxing's affirmation. Although it was just a
simulation, it actually made Hashirama feel proud.
only...
"But if I have to give it a score, I would only give it zero."
As soon as Qianxing finished speaking, Hashirama's expression just froze
a little, while Tobirama on the side shouted directly.
"What"?
Although the layout of this study was presided over by Hashirama, it is
understandable that Hashirama's strength is nothing but his extraordinary
strength. Coordinating and organizing the construction of these
equipment is not something Hashirama can handle at all.
Therefore, in secret, Tobirama was the actual executor.
Qianxing's score was undoubtedly an evaluation of Tobirama, which
made Tobirama, who had always been unhappy with Qianxing, very
dissatisfied.
"There must be a reason for the zero score, right?"
"It's indeed the work of Tobirama." Looking at Tobirama's reaction,
Qianxing sighed and then decided to give Tobirama a warning, so as to
prevent this extremely suspicious guy from hindering him in some
subsequent events.
So, Qianxing raised his eyebrow and began to comment on the room,
actually, on Tobirama.
"First of all, let's look at this map. Are we, the Senju clan, planning to
swallow up the entire ninja world? Are we afraid that our allies may
have ulterior motives?"
"If you really have this idea, you should discuss it slowly in your own
little room. Just show your intention by showing off a map of the war
zone. Otherwise, when others see it, they will think that we, the Senju
clan, want to become the daimyo ourselves."
"So, for the map, zero points!"
Tobirama was shocked by Qianxing's comments and broke out in a cold
sweat. After all, although the Senju clan was strong now, they still
needed to rely on the funding from the daimyo to maintain the war.
Otherwise, the Senju clan might become a bandit, and there would be no
possibility of anyone coming to join them.
However, Hashirama did not become depressed by Chihoshi's attack.
Firstly, he had been attacked in this way since he was a child.
Secondly, although Hashirama said that he supervised the manufacturing,
he also knew that Tobirama contributed a lot in secret.
Therefore, what Hashirama wants to see most now is not any advice from
Chihoshi, but to see Tobirama suffer a setback.
And now, looking at Tobirama's face, which was originally pretending to
be cool but was beginning to darken, Hashirama also felt an
indescribable sense of comfort.
"What about the sand table?"
Seeing Hashirama's impatient questioning, Qianxing immediately guessed
what he meant. After all, Hashirama's strength lies in combat power, and
his IQ is inferior to that of ordinary people.
Ignoring Tobirama's dark expression, Qianxing continued his comments.
"Although it is very delicately made and also in line with some of my
ideas, I am sorry, it still gets zero points."
"reason".
Seeing that both of his masterpieces were devalued, Tobirama's face
turned completely dark. If Qianxing said something wrong, he would
have reason to suspect that the other party was targeting him.
"It's simple because the room is too small."
"The room is small"? Tobirama thought of thousands of reasons, but
never this one.
"Yes, it's just that the room is too small. The reason I asked you to make a
sand table is not just to make a three-dimensional map, but to let you
deduce before the war and review after the war. I don't want you to treat
it as a work of art."
"As the saying goes, 'One person's plan is short, two people's plan is long.'
The purpose of pre-war deduction is to pool the wisdom of many people
to make tactical guesses. The purpose of post-war review is to allow
everyone to find the reasons after failure so as not to make the same
mistake again. This is also a tool that allows us to mass-produce 'talented
generals'."
"But now, how many people can be allowed to come in and observe in
this small room? How many people can be taught? How many people's
opinions can be accommodated?"
"You completely twisted my original idea into another meaning, so I can
only give you zero points."
Tobirama wanted to retort, but when he opened his mouth, he found that
he couldn't come up with a reason that could convince himself.
Just as Qianxing said, they made this sandbox only to review the
environment to avoid the situation of not being able to find the position
during the attack.
In addition, this sand table allows them to issue some extremely precise
ambush missions. Apart from that, they have not thought about training
any tactical talents, let alone post-war review.
After all, ninjas can completely determine the outcome of a battle with
their personal combat power. Tactics sometimes have no meaning at all
in the eyes of Hashirama, who can destroy mountains and break cliffs.
Although Tobirama did not quite agree with Hashirama's idea, with
Hashirama as his indestructible "spearhead", he could not help but tend
to this idea.
Qianxing also saw what the other party was thinking, and asked
Tobirama with a slightly sarcastic tone.
"Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
Tobirama heard Qianxing's ridicule, and although he did not respond, his
cold and non-responsive expression already represented his attitude.
"How about a competition?"
When he heard that he could fight Qianxing with real swords and bullets,
Tobirama's eyes raised and he became interested.
"How to compare?"
Seeing that Tobirama was stepping into the trap step by step as he had
predicted, Qianxing could no longer suppress his excitement and
immediately grinned.
"Uchiha Madara".
"Uchiha Madara"?
Hashirama and Tobirama looked at each other, unable to figure out what
this matter had to do with Uchiha Madara.
"Didn't I say this in the forest just now? I met Uchiha Madara, and she
didn't kill me, so I gave her a tactical book. You will know whether these
tactics are useful in the next battle."
Hashirama and Tobirama's expressions suddenly froze after hearing
Chihoshi's words. After all, Chihoshi's behavior had undoubtedly
betrayed the Senju clan.
"you..."
"I did it on purpose."
Qianxing interrupted what Hashirama wanted to ask, "With my return,
the Senju clan is destined to become the largest clan in the entire ninja
world, and the Senju clan will soon lead the most powerful force in the
entire ninja world."
"In order to ensure that this power is only used to maintain peace in the
ninja world, I will not allow the Senju clan to have rubbish like the
Taketori clan among their allies. I will take this opportunity to clear out
these scum."
"So, even if I don't meet Madara on my way back, I will find a way to
send the plan over."
"Do you understand?"
Chihoshi's "speech" shocked both Hashirama and Tobirama on the spot,
but after the shock, Hashirama's emotion turned into touching, because
this had always been his dream.
Tobirama was shocked but also a little dissatisfied. After all, judging from
Qianxing's current arrangements, it was undoubtedly a fantasy to use the
tactics from a few months ago to deal with the war in a few months.
Not to mention that the Senju clan also has a powerful weapon like
Hashirama in their hands.
Although there was also Uchiha Madara on the opposite side, he was
about the same level as Hashirama, or even weaker, so he had no
problem holding Madara back.
At the same time, Hashirama is the one who controls the wood clone.
Although the wood clone is slightly weaker than the original, once there
is any problem in the war, the power of the wood clone will sweep across
the rest of the battlefield.
Tobirama couldn't think of any reason to lose.
"Hmph, let me see how your tactics compare to big brother's fighting
power."
However, although Tobirama spoke toughly, he also began to calculate in
his heart which families could be used as cannon fodder next time.
"it is good"!
Seeing that both Hashirama and Tobirama had fallen into his 'trap',
Chihoshi felt extremely happy.
But as fun as it is, we can't neglect our work.
Therefore, Qianxing took the opportunity to propose his ultimate purpose
of returning to the Senju clan.
"The war is about to start again, and my two brothers are so powerful, so
as a younger brother I naturally cannot fall behind. But you also know
that I can't learn any powerful ninjutsu from the Uzumaki clan. I'm not
picky about whether there are any advanced ninjutsu or forbidden
techniques. Just give me eight or ten will do."
