Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

"... Uchiha... Munexun?" On the iron bed in the cell, Lao Zi, who had woken up, could clearly identify the figure outside the cell through the dim light. Strictly speaking, this was his first time. He met Uchiha Munexun once, but this did not prevent him from recognizing this hateful guy at a glance after waking up from a coma.

He sat up with great difficulty.

Enduring all kinds of discomfort in his body, he tried his best to use his brain to sort out the current situation. If I remember correctly... He couldn't defeat the boy who used ice escape, and then he was forced to free the four tails. He has no idea what happened after that. , his consciousness didn't wake up until now, and he couldn't even clearly determine how long he had been asleep.

I can only judge from the feeling of fasting that it must have been about a day or two?

And judging from the current situation,

After all, we lost!

Even being forced to liberate the Four Tails failed to turn the tide of the war.

anyway,

Now that he has seen Uchiha Munexun, doesn't it mean that the boy who uses ice escape is from Konoha... He turned his eyes and saw Shiro standing next to Sozuru, and he was convinced that it was indeed Konoha. Ye's ninja couldn't help but have new questions emerge in his mind,

When did Konoha take control of the Snow Clan's bloodline boundaries?

of course,

This issue is not important at the moment.

What is more worthy of his concern is to find out what is going on now, and at the same time see if he can find an opportunity to reveal the identity of this prisoner...

"Oh! Are you awake already? As expected of a jinchuriki, his vitality is as tenacious as a weed."

Zong Xian looked at Lao Zi up and down with great interest.

"Sixth Hokage, what are you going to do?" After roughly understanding his departure, Lao Zi asked a probing question, "Are you going to help that old man Onoki catch me back?" His own identity is Rebellious.

Even though Ohnoki has not really sent people to hunt him seriously in these years, his identity as a traitor to the ninja is indeed genuine.

Rebellious people like them,

Generally speaking, it is the ninjas from the same village who are hunting. Unless there are irreconcilable conflicts, demands for interests, or personal factors such as aggressiveness and bloodlust, ninjas from other villages will not specialize. To hunt down the traitorous ninja from another village.

Lao Zi now wants to find out why Konoha arrested him?

Is it for the four tails in his body?

Or do you plan to use him to deal with Iwagakure?

There is no doubt that both situations are very bad. No matter which situation it is, it is not easy to accept it. But if he really has to choose one of the two, he would prefer the first situation. He does not want to be accepted from the bottom of his heart. The other side treats it as a weapon against their hometown.

"Mr. Lao Zi, you don't have to think so much. If I want to take action against Yanyin Village, I don't have to go to such trouble."

Zongxian smiled silently and continued: "There are two reasons why I invited you here. One is that I need the four tails in your body, and the other is that I need your help with some small things, no matter what happens in Yanyin Village."

"...Please? Huh, this way of asking is really special."

Lao Zi snorted coldly.

"If you don't do this, you will definitely not be invited to come!"

Zong Xian shrugged, not caring about Lao Zi's bad attitude, "That's probably what happened. If you talk about it carefully, these two reasons are the same thing... In short, let's settle down for the next two days. !I will come to you again when I need help."

After leaving these words,

Zong Xian turned around, turned his back to Lao Zi in the cell, and walked away step by step. Bai followed closely, without even looking at Lao Zi.

"Wait! The Sixth Hokage, the four tails belong to the Iwa Ninja! This is the rule set by the First Hokage. Do you want to destroy the order left by the First Hokage?" His hands and feet were tied by iron ropes and he could not leave. Lao Zi, who was too far away from the iron bed, roared loudly.

just,

His shouts failed to make Zong Xian stop.

Bai wanted to look back, but after noticing that Zong Xian continued to walk forward without any hesitation, he did not look back.

After leaving this underground prison, the biting cold wind blew in my face, and tiny snowflakes fell on my hair. In an instant, it melted and wetted my hair. The weather in Konoha today is not very good. There was no sun in the gloomy sky, and there were scattered snowflakes in the cold wind.

"Bai, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Walking in the white forest, his feet made a "squeaking" sound in the snow. Zongxian suddenly said, "I will try my best to give you an answer within the allowed range." He noticed that he felt something behind him. The young man had many things on his mind, and it was not easy to help him in such a state.

The man had some free time at this moment, and he felt that it was necessary to enlighten this young man who might be a little too smart.

"...Hokage-sama, the four-tailed Jinchuriki is just the beginning, right?"

Bai thought about it for two seconds and finally asked the question that had been pressing in his mind for a long time.

Ever since he barely regained his mobility in the hospital and began to study the scrolls Sogen left for him, he had vaguely understood what the mission was, and this time capturing the four-tailed Jinchūriki seemed to him to be just the beginning. .

"you can say it this way."

Zong Xian raised his head, squinted his eyes, feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, and said slowly: "But it's hard to say what the specific situation will be. The four-tailed Jinchuuriki is a rebel ninja of Iwagakure. I can't think of anything other than using it. Is there any way to bring him back to Konoha other than force, but we can still talk about the other personal chūriki..."

"Of course, if we can't reach an agreement in the end, we will still have to resort to force."

Finally, he added one more sentence before Bai opened his mouth.

"That's it! I hope we can come to an agreement..." Halfway through his words, Bai remembered that he had more than just one problem. It would be better to say that this problem was just an appetizer. The problem that really bothered him had not yet been discussed. Coming out, he hesitated to ask now.

"Well, Hokage-sama, if you do this... aren't you worried that it will trigger a new ninja war?"

After all, Bai didn't miss such a rare opportunity. He missed this opportunity, and he didn't know how long he would have to hold this problem in his heart.

"Ha ha!"

Zongxian was amused by Bai's question.

"The Great Ninja War... Why should I worry about this kind of thing?"

Hearing Zongxuan's laughter, Shiro did not say that he was angry at being underestimated. He said seriously: "Hokage-sama, you should have heard what the four-tailed jinchūriki said just now. The tailed beasts are the first Hokage's order to maintain peace." And all the tailed beasts assigned to each village are taken away like this... It has indeed destroyed the situation created by the First Hokage, and a new ninja war may not happen."

The young man honestly expressed his thoughts and worries.

How-

Zongxuan laughed again and asked the boy a question, "Since Shiro, you said that the First Hokage distributed tailed beasts to each village in order to maintain the peace of the ninja world, then... do you think he really Has the goal of peace been achieved?”

"this is not······"

The last word 'of course' didn't come out of my mouth. After the death of the first Hokage, three ninja wars broke out in the ninja world. In addition to these three ninja wars, during the intervals between the ninja wars, there were also There were countless frictions and outbreaks of skirmishes.

Although it seems to be much better than the Warring States Period with endless wars recorded in the book, is this kind of 'intermittent and short-lived peace' really what the First Hokage expected?Thinking back to the man with a heroic laugh who was reincarnated by his dirty soil, he felt that this kind of peace was not the peace he pursued.

"To say that the First Hokage's behavior of allocating tailed beasts was in vain... That is indeed a bit excessive. You can't say that." Seeing Bai Kaike speechless for a moment, Zong Xian continued speaking on his own, "But looking at it now, we have to admit that the strategy of using tailed beasts to maintain the balance between the forces has great flaws. Its effectiveness is much smaller than expected, and it cannot prevent the outbreak of the Ninja War at all."

"So I wanted to try and see if I could change that."

Zongxian stopped walking,

He turned around and became serious, looking directly at the young man with his bright eyes, "As the Sixth Hokage, I don't want to just sit on that chair and enjoy the peaceful and prosperous age for more than ten or decades. I hiccupped that day. Just like after the death of the first Hokage, I could no longer rely on my own force to suppress the ninja world, and then a new round of ninja war broke out... I don't want to see such a future, I I want to try to see if I can change this annoying cycle."

"So we want to capture the Jinchuuriki?"

Bai murmured subconsciously.

"It's not."

Zong Xian's answer made Bai Cuo open his mouth in astonishment and looked over dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Ba Ba said so many great truths that he was almost convinced, but in the blink of an eye he said it was not the same thing.

simply,

Heads are going to explode.

"Wait, this can't be said so absolutely. The purpose of arresting the jinchūriki... is to target the mastermind who has been disrupting the ninja world. It can also be regarded as a contribution to changing such a turbulent reincarnation." After thinking carefully for a moment, he completed the integration of logic and said, "Yes, that's it! Capturing the Jinchuuriki is conducive to the peace of the ninja world from all aspects."

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He didn't know the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, but he didn't forget that he was attacked by the pitcher plant-like monster who had been following Uchiha Obito, and he almost died in the snowstorm outside Konoha Village, and He also didn’t forget Madara Uchiha who was reincarnated from his filthy soil...

"Bai, you also know what Pain wants to do, right?"

Zongxian suddenly asked another question.

"Huh? Yeah! I know."

Shiro licked his lips, "Penn...that man wants to gather all the tailed beasts to make the strongest tailed beast weapon, and then...let the world feel the pain, hoping that... Out of this pain comes true peace.”

This kind of thing is no longer a secret.

After Zongxian returned from his victory in the raid on Amegakure Village, he had already spread the news, and Shiro followed Orochimaru and infiltrated the Akatsuki organization, and learned about various things about the Akatsuki organization from Orochimaru's mouth.

"So, do you think Payne's idea is possible?"

Zongxian asked again.

"This... should be feasible to a certain extent!" After thinking for a moment, Bai gave an answer that he was not sure about.

"Yes, it is feasible to a certain extent."

Zong Xian nodded, "Although Payne failed, it does not mean that his strategy was a failure. Of course, his failure also proved that his ideas were biased. Indeed, pain can make people want to Peace, but the peace gained in this way would be too tragic, and the painful memories will be forgotten. You can't let the world suffer a good pain every few decades, right? It's like a woman's menstrual period .”

"Compared to such a troublesome and tragic peace, I think the peace maintained by the First Generation when he was alive is quite good."

"But Hokage-sama, you also said that the war broke out immediately after the death of the first Hokage, and peace disappeared."

Bai opened his mouth to retort.

"That's right, that kind of peace is completely linked to the Shodaime himself. As soon as something goes wrong with the Shodaime, the Ninja World War breaks out." Zongxuan took a deep breath, "So, I'm thinking if all the nine tailed beasts Concentrate on Konoha, let Konoha as a collective have the power to replace the status of the 'First Generation Eye', and directly link Konoha to peace. As long as Konoha always has the power to suppress the ninja world, can it be allowed? How many more years can the peace of the ninja world last?"

Having said this, Zong Xian couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course I also understand that there is no perfect system and eternal peace in this world. At least... I don't think that kind of thing exists. The future I envision also has many flaws and problems. , however, what I pursue is peace as long as possible, not like the three ninja wars that broke out in the past 50 years and countless small-scale conflicts and frictions during the period. The peace of the past... It’s just too short-lived.”

This time,

Bai did not refute, but lowered his head and thought seriously.

"······Worth a try."

After thinking about it for about 5 minutes, Bai finally raised his head and said seriously: "This is indeed a method worth trying. Lord Hokage, please use me as you like! I will help you try to see if this method is feasible. .”

The young man, who has always longed for peace and tranquility from the bottom of his heart, promised loudly.

"I will."

Zong Xian smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Bai's shoulder, "I will order you around without hesitation. Now... just come with me to meet someone! If you are lucky, you may be able to do it without resorting to force." Get a new Jinchuuriki."
