Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Even if it were his own father, plus Danzo's father, the two of them together might not be able to defeat nine thousand ninjas.

“You have no idea what it feels like to take on an apprentice. I used to always get scolded by my master, but now it’s my turn to scold others.”

Qu Feng smiled and said, "Kids, you must work hard! Remember, your master is the Hokage! Don't embarrass him."

"Yes!"

Qu Feng knows how to handle children, and his words immediately energize them.

Even the most mischievous Jiraiya was seriously preparing to begin his training.

Hiruzen was pleased to see this and decided not to disturb the children any longer: "Alright, I'm going to fetch the wind now. Want to come along?"

Qu Feng nodded: "Of course, I was just dragged into this by you."

After saying goodbye to the three children and Orochimaru's parents inside the house, Hiruzen and Torifu went home separately.

Night was about to fall in Konoha Village, and the villagers were preparing to return home for a good night's sleep.

But the entire ninja world was thrown into chaos by one piece of news!

The Second Raikage of Kumogakure, believing Hashirama Senju to be dead, openly broke the treaty and launched a war against Konoha.

As it turned out, Hashirama not only didn't die, but was actually full of energy and worked with his younger brother Tobirama Senju.

The entire army of 30,000 men from Kumogakure was annihilated! The Second Raikage was killed on the spot by Hashirama, leaving not even a body behind!

Upon hearing this news, the major powers that had been poised for action all fell silent and retreated into their shells.

She was afraid that Hashirama would find out her thoughts.

They also exclaimed that the Second Raikage was so stubborn because he thought Hashirama was dead!

Such absurd news should be easy to verify, right? How could it have ended up like this?

Thirty thousand ninjas! Plus the Second Raikage! This time, the Hidden Cloud Village might have been wiped out, with hardly any men left.

Whether they can maintain their status as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages remains to be seen.

Perhaps in the future, there will be four great ninja villages in the ninja world.

The messages exchanged between the countries only mentioned that it was Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

The existence of wind-catching is not mentioned at all.

This was also Konoha's method; at that time, the three of them probably killed everyone near the battlefield.

Where else could someone know such details?

It was all Tobirama who sent people to spread the word; the village's spies were basically all under Tobirama's control.

Therefore, it is very difficult to verify the authenticity of such messages once they are sent out.

Moreover, with Hashirama standing in front of everyone, no one would believe it was fake news, and naturally, they wouldn't pay attention to anything else.

"Master, it's fortunate that we didn't get involved in this mess, otherwise we would have been in trouble ourselves."

Wu also looked serious at this moment: "I thought that the Second Raikage had some huge secret that made him dare to start a war with Konoha, but it turns out he just got a false message!"

"That's really stupid."

However, he had some interactions with the Second Raikage before. Although he was physically strong, he was not a simple-minded person.

How could he have made such a fatal mistake? He'll be infamous for eternity, and 30,000 people will be buried with him. I wonder if he'll even die peacefully.

"I'm puzzled too. Why is the Raikage suddenly acting so impulsively?"

Wu sighed: "Most likely, some information that shouldn't have been leaked to Konoha was leaked, and then the Hokage set a trap to lure the Raikage in."

He is indeed a clever person; he has guessed the cause of the incident with great accuracy, and the trap has been very effective.

Without firing a single shot, Konoha caused the collapse of Kumogakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Chapter 214 The Views of the Major Ninja Villages

He is indeed a smart man; he has guessed the cause of the incident with great accuracy, and the effect of this whole set of measures is quite remarkable.

Without firing a single shot, Konoha caused the collapse of Kumogakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

"What! Doesn't that mean Konoha Village has violated the treaty?!"

Onoki said in shock, he never expected that Konoha would take the initiative to plan a war.

Wu waved his hand: "I'm just guessing. Perhaps the Raikage's greed was discovered by Konoha, which is why he had no choice but to do this."

"After all, if Hashirama really wanted to destroy Kumogakure, would he have gone to such lengths? It was probably his brother's idea."

After listening, Onoki nodded. Although he didn't quite understand, what Master Wu said made a lot of sense.

"My lord, do you think war will break out again in the future?"

"Who can say for sure? But if Hashirama Senju hadn't died, war probably wouldn't have broken out so easily, after all, he was just too intimidating."

During the Five Shadows Summit, just one glance was enough to overwhelm one with its immense aura.

If Hashirama hadn't noticed and deliberately restrained himself, he probably would have made a fool of himself.

Such a powerful person makes it impossible for anyone to even think of fighting against them.

If war breaks out, no matter how many ninjas you send, it won't be enough to defeat such overwhelming strength.

The Raikage's 30,000 troops probably won't take long to deal with.

On one hand, she thought about how powerful Hashirama was, which made her despair; on the other hand, she couldn't help but complain that the Raikage was incredibly stupid.

The vast legacy his father left him has been destroyed in an instant, and in a couple of days he might even have to pay compensation to Konoha.

They have truly lost both people and resources. This war was entirely the fault of the Hidden Cloud Village. If they don't come out to apologize, it's hard to imagine what kind of reaction the Hidden Leaf Village will have.

"Sir, shouldn't we do something to show our support? After all, this is a major event for the entire ninja world."

After hearing this, Wu immediately smacked Onoki on the head: "Idiot! We're trying to avoid trouble right now, and you're thinking about chasing after the limelight? How can I entrust Iwagakure to you with someone like you?"

Ohnoki was a little stunned by this, and didn't know what to say, so he stammered.

"Alright, alright, you should go home and rest. Right now, it's best for the entire ninja world to remain completely silent."

"Otherwise, you'll easily be targeted by Konoha. You don't want to follow in the Raikage's footsteps and be outmaneuvered, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Onoki immediately snapped out of his daze: "Of course!"

Wu waved his hand without saying anything else, signaling him to leave.

The thoughts of different countries are not much different. Hashirama Senju might not think much about it, but Tobirama Senju, that old fox, might not.

Those who stand out are often the first to die, so the best thing to do now is to stay put and not take sides.

Those who share the same opinion include Mizukage of the Hidden Mist and Hozuki Gengetsu.

It's no wonder they're old rivals; both of them believed it was a trap set by Konoha to lure the Raikage in and then kill him.

"Sigh! Kumogakure has such a huge estate! So many resources! If they don't want it anymore, they should just give it to me! Why did Konoha have to benefit from it!"

"What an idiot! He can't even see through this whole thing! How long has it been since the Five Kage Summit? Hashirama was strong and healthy back then, how could he have died in just a few years? How is that possible?"

Hozuki Gengetsu wasn't angry because the Raikage was killed; he was just jealous because Konoha was about to receive a large sum of compensation from Kumogakure!

That huge sum of money and resources would have been enough for Kirigakure to develop for a long time, but it ended up going to Konoha, the strongest and richest village!

Every time I think about it, I get so angry.

Hozuki Gengetsu and the Second Raikage had no connection, but he had heard from Tsukikage that the Second Raikage was quite intelligent.

Now it seems that Yueji was really blind. I need to consider whether he is suitable to be the successor of the Water Shadow.

Even considering that the Second Raikage is completely brainless, you can still tell he has some intelligence. I'm quite impressed.

"Lord Mizukage, will this sudden war affect the balance of power in the ninja world?"

The secretary asked from the side.

Hozuki Gengetsu waved his hand: "Don't worry. With this lesson learned, as long as Senju Hashirama lives, the ninja world will remain peaceful."

Seeing that the secretary looked like she understood, Hozuki Gengetsu said again, "It's a good thing that there's no war, since Kirigakure's population is already small."

"If war breaks out, we will easily be dragged down, so the current stable situation is the best. If there is an opportunity, we can sneak in and pick up a piece of the pie."

The secretary nodded: "Lord Mizukage is indeed very thoughtful. I understand."

Hozuki Gengetsu stroked his beard and chuckled, "You still have a lot to learn, but you're young, so you have plenty of time to learn."

"Unlike me, I'm already middle-aged and can't learn anything new anymore."

"Lord Mizukage doesn't need to learn anything anymore; your wisdom has definitely surpassed that of Hashirama Senju!"

Hozuki Gengetsu looks serious, but he has a very good temper. He immediately burst into laughter after his secretary said that.

"In terms of strength, hundreds of me are no match for him, but in terms of intelligence, I can say that we are equals."

Upon hearing this, the secretary was puzzled again. Before he could ask any questions, Hozuki Gengetsu explained it to him.

"That's Hashirama Senju! Hashirama Senju, who ended an entire chaotic era! He established the first ninja village in the ninja world. Everything we have today is a result of emulating him. What do you think of his intelligence?"

The secretary immediately realized that she had only heard of Tobirama Senju's cunning, but had forgotten about Hashirama Senju, who ended an entire chaotic era.

How could someone who could accomplish such a feat, inspiring every nation in the ninja world to emulate his ninja village system, be stupid or mindless?

"Alright, alright, you can go now. I need to be alone for a while."

Upon hearing this, the secretary bowed and left the office.

"Oh dear, the Raikage, a dignified figure, died without even leaving behind a corpse, and will be cursed for all eternity. Tsk tsk tsk, how truly lamentable."

But even Hozuki Gengetsu had to admire his 'bravery'; 30,000 ninjas were probably the entire fighting force of their village.

They took everything with them to their deaths, leaving not a single piece. I imagine not many people managed to escape.

The Hidden Cloud Village is now completely finished. Once it falls from its position as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, it will be difficult for it to return.

It was completely dark by then, and most of the people in Konoha Village were fast asleep.

But this doesn't include the wind; at this moment, a faint burning sensation is emanating from his arm, which is Kakuzu summoning him.
