Chapter 219: Convincing Minato to Borrow Chickens to Lay Eggs! (Subscribe to Monthly Tickets)
Today, Kushina Uzumaki rarely came to the Hokage's office to accompany Minato Namikaze to work, and happened to meet Shuichi Hoshita coming back from the daimyo's mansion.
After hearing Shuichi Hoshita's words, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but open her eyes wide: "Shuichi, the daimyo won't believe you, right?"
Shuichi Hoshita chuckled: "Such temptation is hard to resist."
Kushina Uzumaki pinched her chin and analyzed: "But... this is easy to get the result as long as you analyze it carefully, it's impossible to do it, right?"
"Shuichi, although you are very powerful, but just like the third generation Raikage, you still died in the end."
"It is impossible for Konoha to defeat other ninja villages, even if you add the Sand Village, right?"
Minato Namikaze was also thinking about the possibility.
However, Kushina Uzumaki had no exact concept of Shuichi Hoshita's strength, but his teacher did.
Compared with the shadows of the five major ninja villages, Minato Namikaze knew very well that his disciple had surpassed a lot.
Just like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha in the past, they were incomparable to the shadows of other ninja villages.
As for whether he can be compared with the ninja god Senju Hashirama, it is unknown.
However, the current Hoshita Shuichi is only 15 years old.
So, after thinking for a moment, Namikaze Minato asked solemnly: "Shuichi, are you just holding back the daimyo, or do you really want to do that?"
Uzumaki Kushina was stunned, and then looked at her husband in surprise.
And Shuichi Hoshita put away his smile and said seriously: "Teacher, I do have such an idea."
"Get rid of other ninja villages, unify all ninjas, and completely end the cycle of the Ninja World War."
"I graduated at the age of six and then went to the battlefield."
"Patriarch Fugaku even took his four-year-old son to the battlefield."
"Although ninjas hold power and ninja villages are violent organizations, they should not be like this."
"The original intention of the first generation to establish ninja villages was to end the wars in the Warring States Period and prevent young children from dying on the battlefield."
"The second generation established ninja schools and systematically trained ninjas from six to 12 years old... The original intention was not to send young children to the battlefield."
"The power of ninjas should not only be used for war, for killing others, or even to protect themselves."
Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were silent, with heavy hearts.
They are also about to become parents. Why would they want their children to go to the battlefield and get stained with blood at an age when they should have enjoyed the happiness of childhood and the love of their parents?
Shuichi Hoshita continued: "Since the death of the first generation, we have experienced three Ninja World Wars."
"Each time was larger and more brutal than the fighting between ninja clans in the Warring States Period."
"There were three Ninja World Wars, and each was only about ten years apart."
"When will the next one be?"
"When will the next one be?"
"Will my descendants die in the war?"
"Even if one day they have to die in battle to protect the village, I don't want them to die when they are young, before they grow up."
"That's too cheap to die!"
Uzumaki Kushina lowered her head and stroked her bulging belly, feeling the little life that was being nurtured, but she couldn't help but think of her childhood experience in her mind.
She knew the pain of displacement caused by war.
"Shuiichi, I support you!"
Uzumaki Kushina suddenly raised her head with red eyes.
Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly, then stood up and walked to Uzumaki Kushina and hugged her, saying to Hoshita Shuichi: "It would be best if we could end the war and create a peaceful ninja world."
"However, even with your strength, Shuichi, it is not easy to do it."
"After all, you are powerful, but you can't deal with tens of thousands of ninjas from many ninja villages at the same time."
"And Konoha's power can't withstand such a siege."
Namikaze Minato was very clear-headed: "If you start a war and let more children of Konoha die, then it will go against your original intention."
Hoshita Shuichi deeply He nodded in agreement: "Teacher is right."
"So I'm not in a hurry, but told the daimyo within 20 years."
"Even after 20 years, I'm only 35 years old. I have absolute confidence that I can surpass the first generation and Uchiha Madara."
Namikaze Minato nodded: "Of course I have confidence in you, Shuichi."
"But our most important enemy right now is Uchiha Madara who has formulated a resurrection plan."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Of course."
"Teacher, I don't want Uchiha Madara to take advantage."
Namikaze Minato secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Hoshita Shuichi was too anxious.
Then he thought: "Perhaps we can use Uchiha Madara to collect tailed beasts to unite other ninja villages, so that all ninja villages can be integrated without a war."
Uzumaki Kushina's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Teacher, a powerful common enemy can indeed unite all the ninja villages."
"But that is only a temporary union of interests, because the major ninja villages do not trust each other."
"Once the enemy is eliminated, the alliance will immediately collapse and disintegrate."
"No village will be willing to hand over power and integrate into other villages."
Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina were silent.
They are not naive.
Hoshita Shuichi asked: "If that day comes, will Teacher Dare to disband Konoha and integrate all of them into Iwagakure Village?"
"Teacher, do you dare to hand over subordinates who trust you to Ohnoki?"
"Will he suppress the people of Konoha in order to prevent Konoha from being re-established, or even get rid of you, the Hokage, who gave up his power?"
"For the same reason, people in other Ninja Villages will also have such worries."
Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly after hearing this and shook his head: "Shuichi, you're right, I didn't think enough about it."
Hoshita Shuichi quickly comforted: "It's not that the teacher didn't think enough, but it's just that he doesn't want another large-scale war to break out."
Uzumaki Kushina frowned and said: "So, Shuichi, you mean that if you want to unify all ninjas, you must go through a war?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded solemnly: "If you want to change the pattern of the entire world, and change the fate of the entire ninja world, it is impossible without bloodshed."
"Because we are destined to touch the interests of some people, and those people are unlikely to give up their own interests."
"So, we must sweep these people who will be eliminated by the times into the garbage heap of history."
"Of course, large-scale war is not a necessary means, but we must be prepared for war."
Namikaze Minato nodded, and then asked: "So, Shuichi, what are you going to do?"
Xingxia Xiuyi said: "There are no specific plans yet, but there are two core points that will not change."
"That is to strengthen yourself and weaken the enemy."
Uzumaki Kushina heard this and smiled and said: "Minato, it seems that there is no need to think too much about the choice of the fifth generation."
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then thought: "Shuichi, do you mean to use Uchiha Madara and Nagato to weaken other ninja villages?"
"However, there is a danger in this."
"If Uchiha Madara and the others are allowed to be too strong, we may not be able to resist them and suffer heavy losses."
Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Indeed."
“So it’s about being measured.”
"We must not let Nagato and the others collect all the tailed beasts. At least we must divide the tailed beasts in advance."
Uzumaki Kushina asked: "Shuichi, you now have nine tails, four tails, three tails, and one tail. How can you divide the other tailed beasts without causing violent reactions from other ninja villages and starting a war?"
Hoshita Shuichi thought: "Right now, we are still at war with Kumo Ninja and Kiri Ninja. Since I have agreed to the daimyo, I naturally want to go to Kirigakure Village."
"Vulpix is in Kirigakure Village."
"They sealed the Three-Tails into Lin's body, so it would be natural for me to find and release the Six-Tails as revenge."
"And we can also use this to force Kirigakure Village to end the war."
Uzumaki Kushina worried: "Is it too dangerous for you to go alone, Shuichi?"
Hoshixia Shuichi said with a smile: "If I act alone, I can advance and retreat freely. Even if I fail to succeed, I can retreat calmly."
"This is the case in Kirigakure, so can the Kumo ninja's second and eighth tails."
"They can't stop my penetration ability."
Namikaze Minato pondered for a moment and then nodded: "This is indeed feasible."
"And Shuichi, you have already convinced the first, third, and fourth tails. You can also use them to convince the second, sixth, and eighth tails to conceal your information about dividing the tailed beasts."
"The remaining five and seven tails can look for other opportunities."
"If the war is completely ended, we can also recuperate and focus our energy on Uchiha Madara."
This obviously agreed with Hoshita Shuichi's plan.
Hoshita Shuichi then made another suggestion: "Over at Nagato, my idea is to try to arrange for spies to go there and control their every move."
Namikaze Minato nodded slightly: "It is indeed a method, but inserting a spy is difficult and requires the right time."
"You can write this down."
"So, Shuichi, when are you going to take action against the Kiri Ninja and Kumo Ninja?"
"The village also needs to make some preparations."
Hoshita Shuichi looked at Uzumaki Kushina and said with a smile: "Master's wife is about to give birth, just wait until the child is born!"
"Then it's decided."
Namikaze Minato returned to his seat and asked: "What do you think about the daimyo's plan to train ninjas, Shuichi?"
Xingxia Xiuyi smiled and said: "Borrow a chicken to lay an egg!"
"It is difficult for the daimyo to invest more in Konoha, but he will be willing to train his own ninja."
"Since you leave it to me to train you, then it makes sense to obey my orders, right?"
"After all, the daimyo cannot truly control those ninjas."
Of course, the details won't be that simple.
The daimyo is not stupid. Even if he completely trusts Hoshita Shuichi, it is impossible to leave everything to him.
But Hoshita Shuichi was confident enough to grasp the power that the Daimyo wanted to cultivate.
…
Hoshita Shuichi stayed in the Hokage's office until evening before leaving.
However, as soon as he got home and was about to enter the study, the memory of a shadow clone came back, making him beam with joy, and then he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport directly to Uchiha Shisui's home.
