The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Needless to say, Tobirama was another one.

As the Hokage with the highest IQ in history, this Hokage's ability to understand people's hearts is unparalleled. He can almost guess what his elder brother is going to say as soon as he opens his mouth.

as predicted.

This is the method.

That means only his own simple-minded older brother could come up with such an idea.

"Naruto, and Grandpa, what are you doing here...?"

Tsunade looked troubled, unsure of what to say.

"Anika, your idea is quite good, but unfortunately it's impossible to achieve. Human hearts are complex, greedy, and have many different facets. Establishing a unified ninja village? That would mean the Five Kage would become one Kage, meaning many people would lose their status and many benefits. Anika, do you think those people would accept such an outcome? Once major disagreements and dissatisfaction arise, battles will inevitably break out. At that time, everything will still have to be resolved by force. Sasuke's intention is clearly to strike first and conquer the other ninja villages with power!"

Tobirama gently shook his head and said.

The last sentence was delivered with a scrutinizing look as he turned to Sasuke's position.

"That's for sure. Now is the time when they are most relaxed. As long as we concentrate our forces, we can wipe out the four great ninja villages in one fell swoop. By concentrating all our forces, and to reduce the resistance from other ninja villages, it would be best to cancel the name of Konoha and adopt a brand new name for the ninja village. Only by integrating all our forces into this one village can we truly fight against those enemies from the stars!"

Sasuke looked at Tobirama without showing any weakness, his eyes revealing the six-tomoe Rinnegan, emanating an overwhelming power.

This further fueled Sasuke's momentum.

Tobirama had no choice but to give way.

Sasuke now.

It was truly beyond Tobirama's ability to contend with; the power of the Rinnegan alone was enough to make Tobirama feel endless pressure.

Not to mention other aspects.

Moreover, if we must talk about it, Tobirama himself actually approved of Sasuke's actions.

Back then, he was only forced to comply with his older brother's insistence. Otherwise, despite Tobirama's constant references to the Uchiha remnants, he wouldn't have achieved such success in annihilating other major ninja villages and unifying the ninja world.

Tobirama was a rare example of someone who supported Madara Uchiha, though he never said it publicly.

As a member of the Senju clan.

As Hashirama's younger brother, he had to stand on the same side as his brother.

Later, his older brother and Madara Uchiha almost died together in the Valley of the End (after the battle at the Valley of the End, Hashirama didn't last long either before passing away).

Konoha Village has completely lost the foundation for unifying the ninja world.

He doesn't have the same strength as his older brother.

At that time, the Second Kage of the five great ninja villages were all roughly equal in strength. Although Tobirama was slightly stronger, the difference was only limited.

There is no possibility of one person taking on several opponents and even winning.

But things are different now.

Naruto and Sasuke.

He's similar to his older brother and Madara Uchiha back then, but even stronger.

Of course, for the other ninja villages in the ninja world, they are all the same and cannot be defeated by them.

They wouldn't even need anyone else from Konoha to intervene; even just one of them would be enough to sweep across the ninja world.

Establishing a unified nation-state and ninja village is not a difficult task at all.

They have already lost their first chance to unify the ninja world.

This is the second time.

If he were to act in his true heart, Tobirama would really want to vote in favor. The only thing he couldn't accept was Sasuke's demand to abolish Konoha Village as well.

Tobirama admitted that Sasuke's words made some sense.

But Tobirama is even more certain that this was absolutely Sasuke's own selfish motive!

After all, the Uchiha clan has already disappeared into the annals of history. Regardless of the reasons or who was at fault, Konoha Village is the culprit behind the Uchiha clan's extermination!

A ninja clan that had existed for nearly a thousand years simply vanished.

It's understandable and perfectly normal for someone to harbor a lot of resentment.

There's no right or wrong in this kind of thing; it's just a matter of different perspectives.

Tobirama even felt that if it weren't for Menma and the existence of Isshiki Otsutsuki, it would be a miracle.

Given the temperament of this Uchiha boy, there is absolutely a possibility that he would directly take action.

It must be said that Tobirama was quite adept at judging people.

This includes the controversial choice of the Konoha F4 as successors to the Hidden Leaf Village.

At least when Tobirama was selecting people, the Konoha F4 were undoubtedly the best in the village.

And indeed, when they first took over the power of the ninja village, each one was more outstanding and more courageous than the last.

It's important to know that Konoha Village was plunged into great turmoil after Tobirama's death in battle.

In that situation, the Konoha F4, especially Hiruzen Sarutobi, were able to turn the tide and can definitely be called 'Heroes of the Ninja'!

Tobirama's eye for people was quite good.

Moreover, it now involves the Uchiha clan.

Tobirama's point-to-point radar is incredibly sensitive!

Chapter 618: The Still Huge Differences

"Sasuke, this is going too far! We could have talked things out first, why did you have to resort to force right from the start?! No, I don't agree with this plan, I won't accept it!"

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto shook his head decisively and said in a very firm tone.

Let's not even talk about the time we've spent together.

Naruto has already made friends with many ninjas from the Five Great Nations. Even if they were strangers, given Naruto's personality, it's impossible for him to start a war that would sweep across the entire ninja world and inevitably kill many people.

The peace achieved in this way is not the peace that Naruto wants to see.

He doesn't even acknowledge that this is peace!

The dead and the living.

Isn't this a huge contradiction?! Isn't it a link of hatred that can never be severed?!

That kind of future would be absolutely bleak and bloody.

Naruto could never accept that.

He wants to prevent that future.

"Yes, Sasuke, you're being too extreme. We don't need to resort to such methods. And Tobirama, you have to believe that people can understand each other. Just like this coalition, Tsunade and Naruto did a great job, didn't they? Don't worry, we're just forming a big family. Other aspects can be discussed. We can always make some concessions. As long as we can unite smoothly, everything is negotiable. I'll go and kowtow to each of them to show my sincerity, and they will definitely accept it!"

Hashirama waved his hand and said with great confidence and arrogance.

Although compared to Naruto.

Hashirama, with his overwhelming life experience, was not so naive. He understood how tempting profit and power were to ordinary people. However, Hashirama firmly believed that these problems could be solved. His principle was simple: even if it meant sacrificing some of his own interests, he would try his best to satisfy others.

However, it must be said that this is also a very naive idea, because such behavior could also harm one's own people.

The world is only so big, and the amount of profit is limited.

If someone takes more, then someone else will take less. If everything could be so balanced, wars would never break out in the world. In the end, humans are a species that is never afraid of scarcity, but only of inequality.

Even among extremely close family members, problems can arise to varying degrees due to unequal distribution of some benefits, let alone in ordinary relationships.

Konohagakure is the largest ninja village in the ninja world.

The village had hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, and at its peak, the number of ninjas exceeded 20,000.

The ninja clan also has the largest number of members.

Under such circumstances.

Give away more of the profits!

Isn't this a joke?

Tobirama felt a bit helpless. His own Anika was still so naive, always coming to kowtow. Did she really think it would work?

The reason why the Five Kage Summit more than 50 years ago was able to impress the other four Kage was not only because Aniga's strength was outstanding, but also because they really offered to share the most important Tailed Beasts as benefits.

A big stick is threatening from the side, and then there's a huge sweet date offered; the two are combined.

That was the real reason why the ninja world was able to be at peace at that time.

If either of them were missing, war would break out. Don't say that with Hashirama around, who would dare to make a move? Without any benefit, or with little benefit, envious people are unlikely to be rational.

People die for wealth, birds die for food.

This is an age-old truth.

That's just how people are; that's human nature.

Unfortunately, his simple-minded older brother could only see the surface and could never understand the essence. Or rather, it wasn't that he didn't understand, but that he genuinely believed that everything could be obtained with sincerity and that everything could be negotiated peacefully.

“Anija…”

Tobirama shook his head helplessly.

Minato, Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Kakashi in the lower positions exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't actually spend much time with Hashirama. Although he was said to have received guidance from Hashirama, Tobirama Senju was the only one who could truly be considered Hiruzen Sarutobi's teacher.

It's really hard to accept that their village's first Hokage has such an innocent personality.

"You guys!"

Sasuke's face darkened instantly when he saw that Naruto and Hashirama had almost identical attitudes.

He was prepared for the two to be difficult to persuade, but he never expected them to be so naive!

What do you mean by kneeling to show sincerity?!

Why don't you just say go and acknowledge him as your father?!
