"We can't fully assimilate the Land of Lightning for now, but we still need to weaken its strength. They are too arrogant, daring to harbor Danzo, this is directly opposing Konoha." Kazuki sneered.
"Moreover, when I became Hokage, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning didn't even come, and they even raised the bounty on me when we annexed the Land of Fire."
Tobirama said, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Yes, they are still living in the old era. Since they dared to accept Danzo, it's time for them to pay the price."
"Won't that be bad?" Hashirama frowned.
He noticed that what Kazuki and the others had been doing recently seemed a bit excessive.
Hashirama wouldn't say much about Konoha's annexation of the Land of Fire. After all, according to the current situation, the one-country, one-village system he had established back then had failed, and the Ninja World needed new changes.
Kazuki declared that the Land of Fire had no so-called nobles, nationalizing all the land of those nobles and Daimyo, and then renting it to tenant farmers at extremely low prices. Undoubtedly, this would greatly improve the lives of the common people in the Land of Fire. Only the nobles suffered.
Even Hashirama's mind could see that Kazuki was improving the lives of the common people. Although the methods were somewhat cruel, the overall outcome was good. He knew that Kazuki had his sights set on all the people.
In the future, Kazuki would unify a large number of countries, not just the great nations, but also the small ones.
The small countries in the current Ninja World were originally divided as war buffer zones. According to Kazuki's plan, there was no need for these small countries to exist. The people of small countries also had the right to survive.
On this point, Hashirama greatly admired Kazuki. He himself hadn't been able to achieve what Kazuki had back then. According to Kazuki, his own vision was still somewhat limited.
In the future, Kazuki would annex other countries. However, allowing other Ninja Villages and Daimyo to constantly fight among themselves now clearly expanded the war.
For example, in the Land of Wind, many common people were affected by their wars, and quite a few people from the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth had come to the Land of Fire.
If it were wars between villages and villages, or great nations and great nations, then although the common people below would still be affected, it wouldn't be as much as now.
This was what Hashirama did not want to see. He had the heart to stop the war. Even if Konoha fought the other countries and villages and made them unite against Konoha, that would be better.
It was better than letting the common people suffer, but he knew that with the current situation in the Land of Fire, they could not afford to fight outwardly, otherwise it would lead to indigestion.
Hashirama understood the trouble of not having enough talent to govern a country. Back then, they had chosen the one-country, one-village system for this reason. He wanted to solve the mess he had left behind. It was just that he felt the people below were suffering too much.
"There's nothing wrong with it, First Hokage." Kazuki shook his head slightly.
"We need to save those who are willing to resist. If they don't even dare to resist the Daimyo, how will they resist the Ōtsutsuki clan in the future? We need to plant the seeds of resistance in the hearts of the Ninja World."
"Back then, the Sage of Six Paths allowed the Ninja World to experience a thousand years of war for its recovery. Isn't this nurturing the Ninja World's combat power?"
"It's also letting us become the nourishment for the planet. There's nothing wrong with that, after all, we were all born from this planet."
Hashirama opened his mouth, wanting to say something, to say that doing so was wrong, but thinking that the Sage of Six Paths had also done it, he chose to compromise.
Perhaps this was the thinking of those who stood at the top and his own mind was indeed not very useful.
"Let me go too." Kushina said eagerly.
"Two-Tails and Eight-Tails are in the Land of Lightning. I can just collect those two Chakra."
"Alright." Kazuki agreed.
How could he not know that Kushina was going to cause trouble?
He didn't care about that. However, it was a good opportunity for Kushina to obtain the Chakra of these two Tailed Beasts.
Obtaining the Chakra of Seven-Tails would not be difficult. Kushina only needed to go there once and could easily obtain it. The other party might not even be able to detect her.
As for Three-Tails and Six-Tails, she could go at any time, and Kazuki didn't even need to think about it. He could just ask Madara for them without any problem.
Madara had heard about the function of Tailed Beast Chakra from Kazuki, and he himself had been researching these Chakra recently.
He was trying to integrate the Tailed Beast Chakra into his body, merging these Chakra together, striving to further his strength after resurrection and thereby master the so-called Six Paths Sage Mode.
"Then I'll go too." Mikoto also spoke at this moment.
"I heard that the Third Raikage is currently the strongest Taijutsu user in the Ninja World, and also the strongest Lightning Release user. It's a good chance for me to witness that so-called Lightning Release Chakra Mode."
In Mikoto's heart, Kazuki was the strongest Lightning Release user. As for the Third Raikage, he was too far behind Kazuki.
It was just that during the Second Great Ninja War, Kazuki was famous for his powerful Susanoo, and everyone regarded him as a second Madara. What Madara could do back then, Kazuki seemed to be able to do as well.
It was just that Kazuki's Lightning Release seemed to have been overlooked.
This made Mikoto dissatisfied. Kazuki's Lightning Release was the best in the world.
How could a mere Third Raikage be qualified to be called the strongest Lightning Release user?
It was just that Kazuki himself didn't care, but Mikoto absolutely could not agree with this point.
Since Kazuki disdained to compete with the Third Raikage for this, then she would do it herself.
Mikoto's Lightning Release mastery was not low. She had always followed Kazuki's footsteps. Whether it was Lightning Release, Fire Release, or Kenjutsu, she learned from Kazuki. It could be said that the current Mikoto was a mini Kazuki.
Of course, it was also a similar path to Sasuke. This path was considered one of the most suitable paths for the Uchiha.
Mikoto believed that this was Kazuki's path, and there would obviously be no mistake.
