Me and countless me.

Chapter 12: The Power of Ninja Chakra
It’s not that Li Ke wants to maintain this misunderstanding, but there are many things that cannot be said in public.

And simple words cannot convince a person.

And the most crucial thing is that the conflict between Asuma and him lies in their views on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Asuma thinks that Sarutobi Hiruzen is a bastard, a cold-blooded and heartless bastard, but Li Ke can see Sarutobi Hiruzen's helplessness.

Because his ability is indeed insufficient.

But for Asuma and Li Ke, a die-hard Hokage faction, Sarutobi Hiruzen is really very kind.

It is impossible for Li Ke to have much aversion to the Third Hokage because he is one of the beneficiaries of Sarutobi Hiruzen's system.

And Asma...

He just didn't understand the reasons behind many of his father's actions for the time being.

However, Li Ke still decided to try to persuade Asma.

Therefore, after asking the second generation for help, Li Ke still caught Asuma who wanted to hide from him after they arrived at the camp, began to rest, and set up their respective camps.

"Asuma, we must clear up the misunderstanding between us."

Li Ke held Asma's shoulders, but Asma didn't want to pay any attention to Li Ke, so he tried to break free.

However, Li Ke's powerful strength made Asuma unable to move.

While he was stunned, Li Ke quickly spoke.

"Asuma, if I do nothing and just enjoy the privileges you brought me that broke the rules, how will others view us? How will they view you and your father? At that time, how will we face those ninjas who are like me but do not enjoy this kind of medical care?"

Asuma felt angry, but just as he was about to speak, Li Ke pressed his finger against his mouth.

"Listen to me first, Asuma. It's not that I don't value you and your friendship, but as a Konoha ninja, I must consider the thoughts of my companions. I am very grateful for everything you have done for me. However, Asuma, we are in Konoha Village and we must act according to the rules of Konoha Village. Even if it is unreasonable, we are protected by the rules and must abide by them. So if you break the rules, you must be prepared and have the ability to bear the consequences of breaking the rules."

Li Ke took a deep breath and spoke again.

"So what I said before was not to blame you for saving me. I am extremely grateful for what you did, Asuma. But this is still a matter of breaking the rules, and we still have to pay a price for breaking the rules, or prove that we are worthy of this privilege... and I work hard to become stronger for this, so that I can pay this price when I have to break the rules to save my companions."

Li Ke agrees with some of the ninja codes. After all, it is actually a military organization, but he disagrees with most of them.

He agrees that one must just follow the rules and that there must be consequences for breaking them.

"you……"

Asma, who originally wanted to ignore Li Ke forever, was unable to curse Li Ke at this moment. He could understand that there was a price to pay for breaking the rules, but he still felt resentful for his father's behavior.

"But you just came out of the hospital..."

Asuma gritted his teeth. He still couldn't stand what his father did.

"So I need you to protect me, Asuma. Isn't this the meaning of companions? Moreover, the reason why I work hard to kill the enemy is to let everyone know that the ninjas you, Asuma, saved by breaking the rules are the geniuses and pillars of Konoha that you, Asuma, saw with your keen eyes! Only in this way can I be worthy of your efforts for me!"

Li Ke grabbed Asma's hand and held it tightly, and tears seemed to be about to flow from Asma's eyes, which made Li Ke feel a little weird, but he felt that what he said was quite passionate.

Moreover, he seemed to feel what was in Asuma's heart?

Is it a feeling of entanglement, touching, and relief?

Li Ke felt a little strange, because this was a feeling transmitted from the chakra, and it was really similar to the ability of the Six Paths Sage in his memory, which was to use chakra to connect minds!
Is this also the talent that comes from the accumulation of my own talents?
Li Ke was a little confused, but the most important thing now was to explain it to Asma, but Asma was already moved.

"Well! Then I will protect you this time too! Clean the carbon!"

Asma also held Li Ke's arm tightly. For some reason, he could just feel how sincere Li Ke's heart was and how much he cherished him as a friend.

He couldn't help but want to hug Li Ke, and Li Ke finally realized something was wrong at this time.

The atmosphere is a bit weird!

So he quickly held Asuma's shoulders, who was in tears, to prevent her from hugging him, and turned his head away.

"Ah... um, I don't really like getting too close to boys..."

Asma's face suddenly froze, and at the same time he felt Li Ke's inner disgust for his beard, as well as some weird thoughts. The next moment, his face turned red.

"Murata Kiyotan you bastard!! I like women!!"

Asma punched Li Ke angrily, then sat in his tent and sulked. Li Ke rubbed his left shoulder which was hit by Asma, feeling helpless.

"Asuma, the son of the Hokage, actually beat up the good hand of a one-armed ninja... I will remember this vengeance."

Li Ke muttered, then shook his arms and looked at Xi Ri Hong who was grinning.

"Really, Hong, you laugh at me too."

Xiurihong chuckled, quickly came to Li Ke's side, began to massage Li Ke's left arm, and spoke in a very gentle voice.

"You two have a good relationship after all... But it's amazing that Asuma was convinced so easily by you."

Xiurihong also found it very interesting. Asuma was famous for his stubborn temper and was very arrogant. If Li Ke hadn't crushed him in all aspects, it would have been difficult for him to have a good relationship with Li Ke.

She even thought that it would be great if her and Li Ke’s future son could be as lively as Asma.

But the eldest child must have a calm personality like Li Ke, and be able to take good care of his younger brother like a father.

Li Ke also laughed. He felt that it should be the effect of the strange chakra perception that suddenly appeared in him, so he tried to grab Yuhi Kurenai's hand, but suddenly remembered that his right hand had covered Asuma's mouth, so he wiped it on his body first before grabbing Kurenai's hand.

Hong lowered her head shyly, and looked at Asuma who was clutching his clothes tightly with a terribly distorted face.

But Li Ke's expression became more serious.

because……

He could really feel the changes in Hong's emotions and thoughts!
There was shyness and also a feeling of anticipation, and vaguely, Li Ke felt that at this moment Xiurihong was fantasizing about their married life.

The eldest son is like himself, the youngest son also looks like him but is as naughty as Asuma, and their daughter is as beautiful and gentle as Hong, while the youngest daughter is as greedy as Hongdou.

Li Ke subconsciously pursed her lips. It can be said that Xi Rihong’s idea was good, but it had a flaw.

These children still had ninja forehead protectors on their heads. Thinking of his original despair and his helpless life, Li Ke subconsciously frowned, but immediately dispelled the haze in his heart and thought about his own strength.

“Has my talent reached this point?”

Li Ke cares about this very much, because this kind of talent is not simple. It is what the Ninja Sect advocated at the beginning, that is, to use one's own chakra to connect with other people's hearts and then achieve a state of mutual understanding.

To be honest, Li Ke thinks that the so-called mutual understanding is bullshit, but in those days, this was indeed the main thing that the Ninja Clan practiced. And even in those relatively simple times, there were not many people who could do this, either the best or the descendants of the Six Paths Sage.

And in this era, when chakra users have begun to close their inner thoughts, if I could sense the inner thoughts of all ninjas...

Doesn't that mean that my talent in chakra has reached an incredible level?

Li Ke had enough doubts about this because the surprise that the shared talent brought to him was too great.

"Interesting...if that's the case..."

Li Ke narrowed his eyes because he thought of something wrong with Senju Tobirama. According to Senju Tobirama's previous thoughts, he must be in a hurry to go back now.

"Is it really as I thought... No, it's impossible. If they wanted to use my body to summon back Hashirama Senju, then they could have contacted the Sandaime during the time I was in the hospital. And with the abilities of the Sandaime and Danzo, they would never let me leave the village. In other words, there is a high probability that they are interested in my other abilities..."

And if it wasn't the ability of Impure World Reincarnation, then what ability could it be that would make Senju Tobirama obsessed with it?

Li Ke let go of Xi Ri Hong, and after talking to her for a few more words, he pretended to go talk to Qiu Dao Ding Zuo and came to the center of the meeting room in the camp.

Although reinforcements have arrived, we still have to wait for commander Minato Namikaze to decide how to fight next.

Yes, at this time the battlefield of Kirigakure was led by Namikaze Minato, who was now discussing with Akimichi Choza, Uchiha Fugaku, and the people of the Nara family.

Most of the other jonin were preparing their own supplies, understanding the situation, preparing camps, waiting for the formal combat meeting to begin, and then assigning tasks.

So about two hours later, their reinforcements will be dispersed to various fronts.

Then, I'm afraid it will be a matter of counterattack.

This is how ninjas fight, efficient and brutal.

While passing by the camps of the newly promoted Genin who were setting up their camps, Li Ke's overly sensitive ears heard even more noises.

"Brother, this is my suicide note..."

"If I die, Chaohua will be left to your care."

"We're going to be heroes, right?"

Li Ke left in silence, not wanting to hear any more of this kind of voice.

Because he suddenly realized that he had never really thought about his future. From the beginning of becoming a ninja, all he had been thinking about was how to survive!
He had never considered the beautiful dream that Xi Ri Hong had!
But soon, he saw a large number of wounded soldiers and ninjas who had just been rotated off the battlefield.

Many of these ninjas had to support each other to walk back to the camp, with various weapons sticking out of their bodies, but this was already considered lucky because at least they were still alive.

However, there was only despair on their faces. Even when they saw the reinforcements, they could only twitch the corners of their mouths.

Li Ke saw a familiar face among these people, but that was all on the battlefield of the Sand Village...

Looking at those exhausted ninjas with no life in their eyes and the injuries on their bodies, Li Ke couldn't help but think of Tsunade.

Because in this camp, after a few days, many people will really become disabled and die in pain.

And all this is due to the lack of medical capabilities.

But at this time Tsunade was still working in the hospital of Konoha Village, but she had also suffered from hemophobia and was no longer able to treat these people.

The death of her only jonin who supported the medical ninja plan and her boyfriend Kato Dan also completely freed her from the ties that bound her to stay in Konoha Village.

Li Ke subconsciously touched his shoulder. The muscles and blood vessels there had healed and he could move around without any problems. This was just the ability of a medical ninja who had only learned the basics. If Tsunade could still provide support in medical ninjutsu...

Then the conflict between him and Asuma would not arise, and he could rest in the village with peace of mind instead of going to the battlefield. Because a large number of ninjas who would be disabled or dead now could easily return to the battlefield, not to mention too many, at least 30% of them would be able to recover.

Konoha's military strength will not be stretched so thin that it will have to send out the Uchiha clan.

Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but think of the beautiful dream of Yuhi Kurenai that he sensed through chakra.

They had two sons and two daughters, but they were all ninja's 'dream'.

So what if I retire? Wait for Naruto to save the world?
But Naruto didn't change anything. If it weren't for the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan, war would have broken out again in the Ninja World, and it would have only become more horrific and more and more unbridled.

The ninja system itself is a bunch of shit, even if I can hide from it, can I and Hong's child hide from it?

Don't let them become ninjas? But it would be worse if they didn't become ninjas, because they would have no power and could only go with the flow.

But if I become a ninja of the unchanged Konoha Village, wouldn't that mean I would be swimming in a cesspool just like I am now?
Li Ke closed his eyes and recalled the wind escape technique he learned under the instruction of Senju Tobirama. He had a bold idea.

“…These are not the things and paths I should choose.”

So Li Ke spoke to Senju Tobirama, who had been silent since arriving at the camp.

"Nidaime-sama, if I can learn Shodaime-sama's Wood Release and your Flying Thunder God Technique, can I quickly end the battle here? And can I become the Hokage and change all this?"

Senju Tobirama didn't expect Li Ke to suddenly ask such a question, but after thinking for a while, he gave his own answer.

"It will definitely not be you, the Yondaime, because it's too late for you."

He paused for a moment until Li Ke guessed something, so his tone became playful.

"But if you can really do it... maybe."

Li Ke nodded and clenched his fist. He felt that he was indeed a little overwhelmed by the launch of the golden finger...

But if even with the golden finger one doesn't dare to change the world with his own will, then as a time traveler, he is too rubbish.

"Then I will be the fifth Hokage of Konoha Village."

Senju Tobirama was very happy to hear this, because Li Ke really looked like him!
To be exact, it's like his older brother with his brain!
