Chapter 37: The Instigator of the Ninja World War
Ideals?
Upon hearing that word, Tsunade scoffed and casually said to Hyuga Mirai, "Brat, you're only ten years old. Do you even know what ideals are? I'm one of the Sannin; countless people want to become my disciples but can't, yet you, a brat, actually refused!"
"A ten-year-old can certainly have ideals. I can ask you for advice on cultivation, but if I were to become your disciple, we would definitely part ways in the future. Lady Tsunade, you are too emotional; that's why you want to leave Konoha Village immediately now."
Hyuga Mirai paused, then continued speaking to Tsunade:
"Lady Tsunade, let's discuss this. Who do you think is responsible for the frequent Ninja World Wars?"
Tsunade's expression froze upon hearing this question; it was far beyond her comprehension.
Although she had strived for peace before, she had never considered who caused the wars.
Tsunade participated in the Second Shinobi World War and had a very deep impression of that war.
Was it the Demigod Hanzo of the Salamander? Or the Sand Ninja?
But that time, they had actively invaded the Land of Rain, and Tsunade remembered it clearly. To avoid fighting on their home soil, Konoha Village chose to directly fight the Sand Ninja in the Land of Rain, simultaneously dragging the Rain Ninja Village into the battlefield.
Although it was to protect the village, the Sand Ninja already had offensive intentions at that time, but it was Konoha Village that actively initiated the war.
"Lady Tsunade, how about you listen to my thoughts?" Hyuga Mirai paused, then said to Tsunade, "I think it should be the Six Paths Sage and your grandfather, Ninja God, the Shodai(1st)-sama."
"Brat, what did you say!?
"Lady Tsunade, don't be in a hurry. It's not too late to get angry after you've heard me out."
As Tsunade clenched her fist and roared, Hyuga Mirai quickly waved his hand and said to her; this time, it wasn't a Shadow Clone. If he accidentally got hit, he could directly give up the mission and lie in bed for half a month.
"Alright, let's hear what twisted logic you have!"
Tsunade angrily slammed the table, then crossed her arms and looked coldly at Hyuga Mirai; in her heart, her grandfather had always been a legendary Ninja who pacified the chaotic world, and Tsunade had always been proud of her grandfather. Moreover, this was not just her opinion; everyone in Konoha Village thought so, and even the Nin school textbooks wrote about Ninja God's achievements, although they were not as numerous as the current Hokage's and contained a lot of embellishment.
"Lady Tsunade, how many people can an ordinary person kill?"
Tsunade said irritably, "How would I know?"
Hyuga Mirai didn't mind and continued, "Let's calculate based on the opponent resisting. Even if it's one-on-one, considering an ordinary person's stamina, they would be exhausted after killing more than ten people. If given weapons, that number would be higher, say around thirty to fifty people."
"But if weapons are replaced with Chakra, even a Genin can easily kill dozens of ordinary people. If they master Ninjutsu, the efficiency would be even higher."
"It can be said that Chakra is more efficient than any weapon; even samurai have started learning Chakra because Chakra will make them stronger. And the source of Chakra's widespread circulation should be the Six Paths Sage, who founded Ninshu, right? It is said that he spread Chakra to connect people's hearts, isn't that right?"
Tsunade did not refute this point, whether it was about Chakra or the deeds of the Six Paths Sage.
Hyuga Mirai then asked, "Then, Lady Tsunade, would you be willing to let me connect with your heart? To see everything you are thinking?"
"What a joke, Byakugan Brat!"
That would be the Yamanaka Clan's secret interrogation technique, how could Tsunade agree to such a thing?
Hyuga Mirai shook his head and said, "It seems the Six Paths Sage's idea failed, but Chakra has spread widely. By now, more than a hundred thousand people possess Chakra."
"Originally, when the samurai under the Daimyo fought, a war would only result in dozens of casualties, but when it became Ninja, casualties of hundreds of people were common."
"This was the Six Paths Sage's original intention for spreading Chakra. It was a pretty good idea, and he could achieve it while he was alive, but after the Six Paths Sage passed away, his ideas and plans slowly disappeared; just like Lady Tsunade's grandfather, he could pacify the chaotic world with his powerful strength while he was alive, but after the Shodai(1st)-sama passed away…"
Hyuga Mirai slowly spoke his thoughts. If one were to summarize the Six Paths Sage's actions, it was that he didn't think far enough. With powerful strength, he could naturally make others follow his ideas, but after he died, everything changed.
Even the root of the struggle can be traced back to Asura and Indra, although Black Zetsu takes half the blame.
"If Chakra had not been widely disseminated, but instead controlled by a small number of people, then even if there were still battles today, at most, hundreds of people would fight each other with swords and spears for half an hour before starting negotiations, which would cause far fewer casualties than Ninja battles."
"If the Six Paths Sage merely started a not-so-good beginning, then I truly do not understand the actions of Senju Hashirama."
Hyuga Mirai directly complained to Tsunade.
"How did he come up with the idea of distributing the Tailed Beasts? To balance the strength between various countries and prevent wars from starting easily? Why didn't he give away all of Konoha Village's Ninjutsu scrolls? Now, once a war starts, Konoha Ninja will have to face the seven Tailed Beasts that were given away back then."
Tsunade retorted, "Brat, the power of the Tailed Beasts is not that easy to control. The decision to give away the Tailed Beasts was made after much consideration."
Hyuga Mirai said, "But the current outcome is completely contrary to Senju Hashirama's idea. If ordinary Ninja encounter the Cloud Ninja Village's Jinchuriki on the battlefield, they will probably be terrified."
The Cloud Ninja Village found a perfect Jinchuriki training method, Hidden Mist is also cultivating Jinchuriki, and while the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of the Stone Ninja is not very sociable, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki can already go to the battlefield.
What's more, at that time, there was Senju Tobirama, the great inventor, who could even create Ninjutsu to summon the dead. Hyuga Mirai didn't believe that Senju Tobirama couldn't research a method to control the Tailed Beasts.
To put it bluntly, he was uneducated and lacked insight, thinking he was striving for peace when in reality he was always going against it.
"You brat!!"
"I'm leaving, Lady Tsunade."
Seeing the veins on Tsunade's face about to burst, Hyuga Mirai directly took his leave, but before he left, he still left a message for Tsunade:
"Lady Tsunade, what I said may not necessarily be correct, but you can use it as a reference. If you have other thoughts, you are welcome to discuss them together."
Hyuga Mirai disavowed what he had just said as soon as he left the door. Even if Tsunade asked him again, saying such things once was enough. If Tsunade couldn't understand, there would be no need for further communication in the future.
Anyway, he had mostly asked about the knowledge of Sealing Jutsu and Medical Ninjutsu. Although Tsunade did not teach him specific Ninjutsu, Hyuga Mirai already understood the principles of those two S-rank Ninjutsu, and he planned to create his own S-rank Ninjutsu in the future.
Everything Hyuga Mirai was doing now was to strengthen his power, even researching the Caged Bird Curse Seal, was to eliminate fatal weaknesses on his body.
After leaving Konoha Hospital, Hyuga Mirai kept thinking on his way home:
"Why hasn't Orochimaru come to find him yet? Should I release more information about cell gene research…?"
