Me and countless me.

Chapter 281

"Hokage and ninja, it turns out they are not jade, they are jade that needs to be protected."

Asma clenched his fists, his mind was in a state of confusion. He was actually aware of what had happened in the village recently, and he also knew what Li Ke wanted to do.

But how many people will die?
Asuka looked at the direction where Li Ke left. He knew that Li Ke wanted the ninjas to have control over the financial power themselves, but he didn't understand how Li Ke would guarantee that the ninjas were willing and able to ensure the continuation of the factory and the Chamber of Commerce.

After all, ninjas are out to risk their lives, and people who risk their lives have two different attitudes toward money.

He looked at the commercial street not far away. It was now crowded with people, most of whom were ninjas. They were indulging in sensual pleasures and had no intention of saving the money given by the village. Instead, they kept drinking and having fun, not caring about their families or tomorrow. There were even many disabled ninjas who used their compensation money to enjoy themselves and indulge themselves.

They may even end up in a poorer situation than before when so much money was not distributed!

this is not right!
This money should be saved for your family and to plan for your future, instead of being wasted on the three ninja taboos such as smoking and drinking!
Thinking of this, Asuma couldn't help but think of Kakashi. Because Kakashi suddenly became rich, he inexplicably got addicted to a book called Intimate Paradise. Not only has his health deteriorated recently, he even stopped going to training!

When had he ever seen Kakashi like this!

"It's all because of the war, it's all because of too much money... Ninja..."

And now, even Li Ke has become a playboy because of too much money and the indulgence caused by the aftermath of the war!
Clenching his fists, Asuma recalled the name of the Fire Nation. The ministers of the Fire Nation fought fiercely for the people of the Fire Nation, but each of them seemed to be dedicated to the public and made their own decisions.

"It turns out that ninjas can't save the world, and can't bring world peace!"

His eyes were shining, and a resolute look appeared on his face. Looking at the direction where Li Ke was going away, blood oozed from Asuma's clenched fist.

"I'm going to do the right thing! Clean the carbon!"

Thinking this, Asuma silently left Yuhi Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko and walked back home.

He was going to prepare, then leave Konoha Village, and serve the daimyo as a Konoha ninja! To protect the daimyo!

Li Ke currently has no idea what Asma is thinking, because if he knew, he would definitely give Asma his favorite slap in the face to make him sober up.

But even if he knew, Li Ke would not stop Asuma. Instead, he would find a way to let Asuma see the true faces of those loyal ministers and generals of the Fire Nation, and then Asuma would come back obediently with his tail between his legs.

After all, no matter how unethical the ninjas are, as long as you are a villager of Konoha, as long as you don't break the law and don't register as a ninja, even if you spit at Danzo, Danzo and the Root can't do anything to you. At most they can scold you.

Even during the time when Danzo was selected as the Hokage, he would even ask you with a smile what you did wrong.

Of course, it would be another matter if he really became Hokage.

But in the Fire Nation, if you spit at a minister, your whole family will sing "Thank you, because of you..." to you in the underworld.

No matter how bad the ninja village is, it is still more modern than the daimyo system.

After all, we really have to go to the battlefield and fight together.

The biggest reason why Li Ke couldn't go to see his real girlfriend Xi Ri Hong and his best friend Asuma was because -

"Please don't die..."

Tsunade held Li Ke's body tightly, with no intention of letting go, and held Li Ke's head tightly in her arms.

It's not that she can't see that Li Ke has had lustful thoughts about her for a long time and she no longer has much respect for her, but she doesn't care. As long as Li Ke doesn't go and die, then anything is fine!

She was really scared. With Li Ke around, she could touch her great-grandfather and second grandfather again, see her grandmother, and maybe even see her parents who died when she was a child in the future.

This was something she couldn't give up.

Li Ke was speechless, because he knew very well what was going on. It was simply that Tsunade found a sense of security in him.

So, he went through great pains, using the skills that the pirate Li Ke had learned from rubbing against Hancock, Robin and others... He broke free from Tsunade's arms, patted Tsunade on the back, and then spoke.

"But if I want to pacify the world and become the shadow and big tree of this village, I must do this no matter what."

"I don't want it! I don't want you to become a big tree! You are not even an adult yet! You have never given birth to a child, and you have never even seen a woman's body?! Why do you have to face such a fate at such a young age! I don't want this to happen!"

Perhaps it was because Hashirama Senju was using Li Ke's chakra, so when he moved as Li Ke's shadow clone, his chakra's aura would be mixed with Li Ke's aura. Therefore, Tsunade also remembered the smell of Li Ke's chakra, and subconsciously -

Li Ke's chakra is linked to the word safety.

"But, Master Tsunade, didn't you go to the battlefield when you were a teenager? Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who founded Konoha Village, also went to the battlefield when they were three or four years old. Ninja itself is such a profession. Or, it is precisely because of the efforts of Master Hashirama Senju and others that I was able to go to the battlefield when I was a teenager."

Li Ke paused before continuing.

"The first generation, who went to the battlefield at the age of five or six, made efforts to allow future children to go to the battlefield in their teens. If I work hard, can't I allow children to go to the battlefield in their twenties? The movement of the times requires human efforts. Lord Hashirama is such a person, and this time it's my turn. How can I back down?"

He knows his own business. It may be a little difficult for him to defeat the Six Paths Sage now, but there is no doubt that he has reached the level of a Super Shadow.

The reason why he didn't become Hokage directly was because of his age and because he wanted to have a few days of quiet life while waiting for his team to grow up. That's why Minato Namikaze suffered because he was a Hokage, but he was just like a secretary of a Hokage, doing odd jobs for him.

So Tsunade was worried that he would die on the battlefield simply because she was too insecure and was afraid that she would die too.

because……

"I've lost enough! If I had known it would turn out like this, I would rather my great-grandfather had never come back!"

Tsunade suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Ke. Vaguely, she saw the shadows of many people in Li Ke.

"Hokage, Hokage! My whole family wants to become Hokage! But what is the result! Why must it be Hokage! Why must someone close to me become Hokage! Why must it be like this!" Tsunade did not look into Li Ke's eyes, because at this moment she could not see anything clearly. A large amount of tears kept flowing from her eyes, making Li Ke's face constantly changing in front of her eyes. The changes became her nightmare in the past.

"Tsunade, I want to become Hokage, so that I can fulfill your and my wishes."

"Sister...I want to become the Hokage and protect everyone like father and grandfather did!"

"Tsunade, I'm sorry, Mito-sama she...I don't want to do that, but...I'm the Hokage."

"My husband is the Hokage, so I must carry his expectations and hopes and watch over this village on his behalf, even if it is very painful."

"Tsunade-chan, I am the Hokage. I know a lot of ninjutsu, but there are also many things I cannot do..."

"My father is the Hokage... My second uncle is also the Hokage. They are all people who fight for Konoha. So Tsunade, I want to be a Hokage too."

"Mom, you have to work hard for Dad's dream too. We will be back soon, but before we come back, you have to take good care of your brother."

"Haha! Grandpa is the Hokage! The one who protects everyone! I'm awesome, right?"

…………

Naruto, Naruto, everyone around her in her life died for the Naruto! They all turned against each other for the position of Hokage, and they all became like this for the position of Hokage!

Even his teacher is a Hokage, and his comrade-in-arms also wants to become a Hokage! His only living distant relative, Uzumaki Kushina, and her husband, his comrade-in-arms' apprentice, Namikaze Minato, are also Hokage!
Although Jiraiya chose to pursue the prophecy because he felt that he was no match for Orochimaru, Orochimaru had no chance of becoming Hokage from the beginning because of his different ideas from the old man.

But they have been revolving around the Hokage since the beginning, as if becoming the Hokage would give them everything and their lives would be complete.

But she knew it wasn't like that, it wasn't like that!

"You have nothing to gain by being Hokage, Qingtan...you will only lose everything."

Tsunade fell on Li Ke as if she was drunk. Even with the guidance of her great-grandfather and grandmother, it was not so easy to overcome the knot in Tsunade's heart.

Rather, it is because of the beauty that Li Ke brought her that Tsunade's heart became more sensitive and more afraid of losing!
She knew that it was because of Li Ke that she could see the dead in the past, and it was because of Li Ke that this was possible, but why, why did this person also have to become Hokage? !

Why?

Why must she be the one to suffer all this!

"I……"

Li Ke didn't know what to say. No ninja from Konoha had the right to say bad things about Konoha, because in this world, being born in Konoha Village was already the luckiest of all lucks. Other places were still lingering in the Japanese Warring States Period!
The outside world is the real purgatory. The cruelty of Konoha is nothing to the outside world, even to other villages. Therefore, any ninja who has enjoyed the peace of Konoha is mostly not qualified to curse Konoha.

But Tsunade is different. No matter how Tsunade curses and hates Konoha, she thinks it is justified and reasonable.

"Please don't leave me, please don't take my hope away... Is that all right? Just like that, don't leave me... Don't you like this..."

Tsunade grabbed Li Ke's hand as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

But before Li Ke could say anything, Tsunade continued speaking, with only pleading in her tone.

"I can be your wife, or your lover if you don't want to, but please don't leave me, okay? Don't go so early, okay? Go later, okay? Didn't you make an agreement with Minato to let him stay as Hokage for a few more years, and then go after you get married and have children, okay?"

She spoke almost in a pleading voice, and her grip on Li Ke's hand was like an iron clamp, as if she was afraid that he would disappear in the next moment!
Li Ke could guarantee that her chest was definitely bruised and blue because of her own strength, but Tsunade still had no intention of stopping. Instead, she became more and more obsessed.

"I'm not doing this entirely for myself. Look at you, you have so many blood limits, you are Konoha's treasure, so your best contribution to Konoha is to have more children. Yes, yes, I am from the Senju clan, and you have the Senju clan's Wood Release, so I must take back the Wood Release for the Senju clan. Yes, before you give birth to a child with the blood of the Wood Release with me, you can't go anywhere..."

In order to persuade Li Ke not to leave, Tsunade's emotions became more and more agitated during this period, and she even became a little crazy. At this point, she even started to say such irrelevant words.

Li Ke couldn't bear to hear such words anymore, and his palm instantly became ethereal, leaving Tsunade with nothing to grab.

This move was naturally obtained from Uchiha Obito. Li Ke took the time to ask Uchiha Obito and Kakashi for some chakra, and then naturally used their chakra to add new moves to his Mangekyō Sharingan.

But this is even more stimulating to Tsunade!

"do not leave Me!"

Tsunade pounced towards Li Ke like a madman, but Li Ke stretched out two fingers and touched Tsunade's forehead, and then with the other hand, which still had Tsunade's body temperature and finger prints, he directly pulled off the necklace on Tsunade's neck.

"I will not die, Tsunade. Do you dare to bet with me?"

Li Ke showed the necklace in her hand and smiled at Tsunade.

"How about we play rock-paper-scissors to see if I'll come back alive? Otherwise, I won't listen to anything you say. Or, can you, who always loses in gambling, still beat me?"

Li Ke's words made Tsunade tremble. She didn't want to gamble, because every time she won the bet, nothing good happened. But looking at Li Ke's determined eyes, her lips trembled a few times, and she made a stammering sound that was almost a cry for help, but in the end, luck occupied her heart.

then……

Li Ke waved his fist confidently.

And then……

Tsunade won.
