Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

It was clearly him who made the move.

Tobirama witnessed this and his astonishment was palpable.

Even with his knowledge, he couldn't immediately deduce what kind of ability it was.

However, he quickly came to terms with it, after all, Xingliu was one of their own.

Seeing Tsunade looking at Xingliu with such admiration, a ripple of emotion stirred within him:

'Girls are so outgoing, huh? Nothing's even happened yet, and her heart's already completely with that brat?'

Shaking his head, Tobirama turned his attention back to Daisuke Senju, who was lying on the ground looking bewildered.

"Take them away for questioning, and treat all those involved as traitors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Anbu knelt down in front of Tobirama.

"Yes!"

The secret agents then left with the four legless men.

The middle-aged nobleman was left alone on the spot.

At this moment, he finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and a fawning smile appeared on his face as he looked at the group:

"My lords, I'm willing to give you all the taxes from now on, how about you let me go? You know, I'm a nobleman appointed by a great lord, if something happens to me, you won't be happy either."

Hearing this, Xingliu chuckled: "Destroying you is none of your business."

The middle-aged nobleman looked completely bewildered, clearly not understanding what he meant.

Tobirama, however, stared at Seiryu with a serious expression.

He knew Xingliu was an Uchiha, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant.

However, he glanced at Tsunade again, pondered for a moment, and then muttered to himself:

"Hiss, if either Big Brother or Madara were a woman, wouldn't things be different now?!"

The thought flashed through his mind, then he shook his head sharply, banishing the idea from his thoughts.

Chapter 134 Thoughts

Just then, the middle-aged nobleman's body suddenly began to undergo strange changes.

He screamed in terror, his voice filled with endless fear and despair.

His body gradually disintegrated at a visible rate, as if being slowly devoured by an invisible force.

The next instant, his voice suddenly disappeared.

However, Tobirama keenly sensed that the fat man was still screaming, but the sound was blocked by some mysterious force and could not be transmitted.

This sight lasted only a few seconds before the middle-aged nobleman's body vanished completely, leaving not even ashes.

Tobirama didn't seem to care about the manner of the fat nobleman's death.

After all, Xingliu's methods had surprised him too many times, and he was getting a little tired of them.

But some of the things that the nobleman just said made Tobirama think.

He turned to look at Xingliu and asked in a serious tone:

"Did something happen between Konoha and the Daimyo six years ago?"

Tsunade may have some lingering memories of what happened six years ago, but Seiryu remembers it clearly.

At that time, Mito Uzumaki's domineering and powerful demeanor left a deep impression on him.

Now, Tobirama's question makes Seiryu realize that this matter may not be truly over, and perhaps someone is still manipulating things behind the scenes.

After all, it seemed too coincidental that a nobleman who used tax evasion as a means of exploitation suddenly appeared after Konoha and the Daimyo had fallen out, and that he could cleverly find the Sarutobi and Shimura clans as his protectors.

Although it was just a small town, it could be regarded as the "face" of Konoha.

For a long time, the problem with this "front door" went unnoticed by Konoha, which undoubtedly aroused suspicion among those who came to Konoha to issue missions.

It's conceivable that if the village's mission revenue declines, Konoha will have to rely on the daimyo's funding to maintain operations.

In this situation, even if Konoha does not lose its independence and autonomy, the Daimyo's influence in Konoha will be greatly enhanced.

Although Xingliu didn't consider this strategy clever, it was indeed very effective.

But what Daimyo would never have guessed was that Hoshiryu was not Hashirama Senju; even comparing him to Madara Uchiha wouldn't be enough.

Because he simply didn't believe in the concept of divinely ordained monarchy.

Thinking of this, Xingliu said thoughtfully, "It seems I still need to go to the daimyo of the Land of Fire."

Tobirama nodded and said, "Don't go too far."

Xingliu laughed heartily upon hearing this:

"How could that be? I just heard that Daimyo is quite ill recently, and I want to go see him one last time to pay my respects."

Tobirama's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything to dissuade him.

The techniques Tobirama himself researched were either forbidden techniques or related to the soul, so how could he possibly have any sense of awe?

Tobirama took a deep breath and looked at Seiryu, saying:

Do you know why this whole thing has gone undetected for so long?

Xingliu raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"It's because Konoha is too foolish to think of relying on missions to maintain the village."

Tobirama looked at Seiryu with some surprise. He had originally intended to remind Seiryu that if he became Hokage in the future, he should not be as careless as Mito, causing a similar incident to happen again.

But he didn't expect Xingliu's answer to be completely unexpected.

Xingliu continued:

"I've never understood why you can be so comfortable serving as lackeys for the nobility. This whole thing should never have happened. That town is the face of Konoha. Why would you let someone else manage such an important place?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it.

He nodded thoughtfully, signaling Xingliu to continue.

At this point, Xingliu also became somewhat excited:

"Do daimyo and nobles have to exist? Why can't we, Konoha, be in charge!"

"As the saying goes, 'If my neighbor grows grain, I store it...' And to practice ninjutsu, my neighbor is my granary. We can't defeat the daimyo, so why should we hand over ownership of the Land of Fire to him?!"

Tobirama listened quietly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

After Xingliu finished speaking, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Actually, I have thought about the question you raised."

Xingliu looked at him with some surprise and asked directly, "Then why don't you do it?"

Tobirama was lost in memories, as if he had returned to that era full of change and turmoil.

After a long while, he continued:

"Some things, once missed, can never be achieved again."

His voice was filled with regret and emotion.

Xingliu nodded thoughtfully, understanding that Tobirama's "missed opportunity" referred to that crucial moment at the beginning of Konoha's founding.

At that time, the Senju and Uchiha clans were at their peak, each possessing two ninja gods.

At that time, other ninja villages didn't even have a Jinchūriki.

That was the golden opportunity for Konoha to sweep across the five countries and achieve unification.

Unfortunately, people at that time longed for peace, even if it was only temporary.

Hashirama Senju also agreed with this idea, the kind that even Madara Uchiha couldn't change.

Afterwards, the two gods broke apart, and the First Shinobi World War broke out.

Therefore, Konoha missed that opportunity and could never achieve the ideal state described by Seiryu.

As Seiryu was lost in these thoughts, he didn't notice that Tobirama was looking at him with a strange expression.

Suddenly, Tobirama's voice broke his reverie: "But now it seems that the time has come again."

Xingliu was startled by these words and came to his senses.

He looked up and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Yes, Konoha is not what it used to be.

The return of the Senju brothers has greatly increased the village's strength, but what's even more astonishing is that the person who brought them back is a powerful figure whose strength far surpasses that of Hashirama Senju.

However, this meritorious official clearly does not want to accept this task now.

Xingliu chuckled awkwardly and said:

"Let's deal with this after I capture Uchiha Madara. Right now, I'm going to the capital of the Land of Fire to see the daimyo off on his final journey."

After saying that, Xingliu disappeared from the spot.

Tobirama looked in the direction where the starlight disappeared, sighed softly, and shook his head helplessly.

..........

Meanwhile, Xingliu teleported all the way and found his destination in no time.

In fact, he was going to do what he just said sooner or later: unify the ninja world.

But compared to all of this, his own happiness is more important.

One reason people want Konoha to develop better is because they want their living environment to improve.

Another reason is to change the many tragedies in Naruto.

But he doesn't owe anyone anything, and he doesn't necessarily have to give anything to the people of the ninja world.

He's not a saint; he can't do that.

He was just someone who wasn't bad, but he wasn't a good person either.

He's only twelve years old now, so in his opinion, he should do what a twelve-year-old should do.

As the saying goes, time is always on his side.
