Yuuki left immediately with a Shunshin after speaking.
Black Zetsu hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.
From their previous negotiation, Black Zetsu clearly felt that while Yuuki greatly cared about peace in the Ninja World, he also had his own ideas, much like Nagato.
On certain issues, he was unyielding and unwilling to concede even a little.
He even tried to take advantage of Black Zetsu before leaving; truly worthy of being Konoha's Hokage, much more troublesome than those rogue Ninja.
However, Black Zetsu ultimately decided to help Yuuki.
Greedy human, you think you've profited, but in the end, you'll find that you're always the one who loses!
Recalling Yuuki's obsession and pursuit of peace, Black Zetsu sneered inwardly.
Peace, what a sharp weapon to use against human powerhouses!
Uchiha Madara was like this, and you, Uchiha Tomoki, are also like this.
After replaying the entire meeting in his mind, Black Zetsu was very satisfied with his performance; everything was as he had expected, and the biggest obstacle to his plan had been resolved.
Then Black Zetsu looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
Mother, wait for me, I will rescue you very soon!
Immediately, Black Zetsu began to shrink, once again becoming the form that only occupied half of White Zetsu's body.
"Black Zetsu, what were you just doing? Why did you shut me out? Do you know, I couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything..."
Black Zetsu was almost immune to White Zetsu's words and simply said, "Let's go back!"
"Huh? Go back already? Where's that Fifth Hokage from just now?"
Although White Zetsu was complaining, his body honestly activated Nature Transformation and began to sink underground.
"Ah! Black Zetsu, you're controlling my... again without my permission!"
---------
Yuuki had sneaked out, but he returned openly, as no one dared to ask him what he had been doing.
After returning to his room, Yuuki also replayed his performance from tonight in his mind.
Unlike Black Zetsu's confidence, Yuuki didn't know how his acting had been; after all, playing a pacifist was really difficult, wasn't it?
But unfortunately, there was no other way; the people of the Ninja World fell for this approach.
To fit in, Yuuki had no choice but to pretend that he also pursued world peace.
Yuuki had his own understanding of peace.
With two lives, plus the Golden Finger template, Yuuki could already confirm that at least three worlds truly existed.
Earth before his transmigration, the current Ninja World, and the Marvel Multiverse.
Without exception, all three worlds had humans, and in worlds with humans, how could there be peace!
Yuuki admired those who pursued peace, who dedicated all their efforts to a fleeting goal.
Admiration is one thing, but it doesn't mean Yuuki has to do it. World peace is impossible, even in a world like the Marvel Universe, where multiverses are common and single entities are less than dogs, world peace is impossible.
Local peace, however, could be achieved, for example, Konoha was currently enjoying a rare period of peace.
Since becoming Hokage, Yuuki had daily pondered Konoha's overall situation and also considered the issue of peace.
If Yuuki had to analyze the right and wrong of Hashirama and Madara, who founded Konoha, Yuuki felt Hashirama's approach was more correct.
Madara's idea was indeed good: unify the entire Ninja World and bring complete peace to it.
However, Madara clearly didn't understand human nature. What was the situation in the Ninja World at that time?
A thousand years of endless Ninja Clan warfare, and Konoha Village was the only light at that time.
It's like people who are starving to death; when a mountain of steamed buns appears before them, their eyes will only see the buns in front of them.
No matter how much you tell them that if they just endure a little longer, starve a little more, and persist, countless feasts await them later.
People won't understand. Aren't the steamed buns in front of them delicious? Why should they starve when they can eat their fill?
Everyone will desperately guard the steamed buns in front of them, and whoever dares to touch their buns will be killed!
This was the reason Madara left Konoha and his clansmen were unwilling to follow him, and it was also the reason Hashirama, no matter how much he valued friendship, had to kill Madara when Madara wanted to destroy Konoha.
As for what Madara said to Hashirama when he left, that Konoha Village would become a breeding ground for darkness.
It further revealed Madara's lack of understanding of human nature; as long as there are many people, darkness will inevitably breed.
Only in an environment like the Sengoku period, where families were constantly on the verge of collapse, could people work together and darkness not breed.
Hashirama's approach, in Yuuki's opinion, was undoubtedly successful. After Konoha was established, various countries successively established Ninja villages.
The age at which Ninja began fighting successfully increased from three or four years old to around ten years old.
During the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha's most difficult period, the prematurely graduated child soldiers were also close to ten years old, which was one or two years higher than the average level of Yuuki's previous Earth.
With Yuuki's limited knowledge, in this regard, the Ninja World was much better than Earth.
Also, in Yuuki's limited understanding, Black Zetsu said something very true: to achieve world peace, Infinite Tsukuyomi is the only method.
If humans become White Zetsu, then the Ninja World will be peaceful, right!
Yuuki's view of peace was simple and realistic: as Hokage, I only need Konoha to be peaceful, that's enough!
