Despite belittling Tobirama's way of working, Madara was very satisfied with Tobirama's current change.
"Didn't you used to advocate for mutual respect and understanding like Hashirama? Now you finally understand? Enemies won't sympathize with you."
Madara's taunt made the aging Tobirama even more displeased.
Although he didn't want to be too lenient towards the other four great villages at that time, his brother insisted on doing so, so he could only listen to Hashirama.
And within the scope of his abilities, he patched up Hashirama.
Now, after experiencing the siege of the four great villages and the betrayal of Kumogakure Village, Tobirama naturally shed his last traces of naivety, and his methods and ideas became far more radical.
Faced with Madara's sarcasm, Tobirama refused to back down.
"I don't need you to teach me!"
Madara was in a good mood and didn't get angry at all. Instead, he felt amusement and continued:
"In this world, where there is light, there must be shadow. If you try to maintain peace for your own selfishness, you will inevitably cause war."
"To protect love, hatred will be born!"
"Cause and effect here cannot be stopped. This is reality."
"You can't change, and Hashirama can't change either!"
Madara understood this very well.
If not for Lux's intervention, according to the original plot, he would have broken up with Hashirama and left Konoha.
In the future, it seems he would die at Hashirama's hands?
Even he and Hashirama, his close friend, had difficulty understanding each other completely, eventually turning against each other.
How much more so for one village to another, one country to another?
"Hmph, sounds good."
"As if you can solve this conflict!"
Tobirama got a little excited and shouted loudly.
"Love and hate cannot be severed, but enough power can sever the person who gives birth to hatred! If you can't solve the conflict, you can solve the source of the conflict!"
Tobirama was stunned.
Although he felt something was wrong, he had no words to refute!
Conflicts are indeed difficult to resolve, but the people involved in the conflict are easy to resolve! If he had the power of his older brother, when the allied forces of the four great villages besieged Konoha, he would have defeated the other four Kage!
Would they dare to stab Konoha in the back later?
It would be best if they didn't climb up and become dogs in Konoha.
Lux watched silently and praised Madara in his heart.
He was indeed a fierce man who could withstand Naruto's sermons, and his own sermons were not to be underestimated!
Madara's ideas and practices were both correct. The only miscalculation was that he was tricked by Black Zetsu. Otherwise, he might have been the one to unify the entire ninja world and end the war completely.
Tobirama glared at Madara angrily, unable to refute.
He could only say sadly: "You only think about power, you won't understand. Managing and developing a village is not simple. Relying solely on force to deter society will not last long."
"You're not Hokage, so of course you don't know the difficulties involved."
The corner of Madara's mouth lifted slightly, wanting to tell Tobirama about this world soon.
On his side, he was unofficially appointed as the Second Hokage.
He was sure that if Tobirama knew this, his expression would be extraordinary, wouldn't it?
However, Madara held back, ready to wait for the right time to make Tobirama disgusted sometime later.
At least he had to make the Konoha side more prosperous, so he could have the confidence to attack Tobirama with force.
Isn't it just about managing a village? How difficult could it be?
After he revived Izuna, he would definitely do better than Tobirama!
"I don't know how great you are as Hokage. You were besieged by the four great villages and almost died at the hands of Ginkaku and Kinkaku. Are you worthy of being Hokage?"
"Madara, don't go too far!"
Tobirama jumped up and glared angrily.
"Hmph! Just now, I completely destroyed Iwagakure Village."
"What?!!"
Tobirama was shocked and his attention was immediately diverted.
"Don't you understand? Iwagakure Village over there is completely gone."
"You destroyed Iwagakure Village? How is that possible? Why did my brother let you."
"He doesn't know yet. Besides, even if he knew, it wouldn't change anything."
"You..."
Tobirama was stunned.
He wanted to say something, but it got stuck in his throat.
He had to regret that Madara was still so cruel and so decisive!
Especially after Madara knew the future, it was even more impossible to predict his behavior.
If it was said that Iwagakure Village was destroyed, then it would be destroyed.
However, this is not necessarily bad news. At least on his side, if war breaks out in the future and they besiege Konoha, there will be one less Iwagakure Village?
If Madara was still alive, it was hard to say whether there would be a battle on his side!
Seeing Tobirama's shocked expression, Madara felt even more refreshed.
"Do you realize the gap between you?"
"Why are you so proud? I can destroy Iwagakure Village soon!"
Tobirama retorted angrily.
"Just, don't blow the whistle."
"By the way, Iwagakure Village is not very lucky. This village has been targeted by traitors like you again."
Tobirama refused to comment.
The reason he targeted Iwagakure Village was also very simple.
At this stage....
Kirigakure Village: an isolated area off the coast, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even when he was at his weakest, he still felt that the outer villages had invaded his inner area.
Kumogakure Village: It just experienced the rebellion of Ginkaku and Kinkaku. Although its vitality was severely damaged, the Third Raikage who successfully ascended to the throne was a cruel character. Moreover, the entire village must be on high alert at this time, making it difficult to conduct a stealth attack.
Sunagakure Village: It was so poor that Tobirama didn't even bother to look at it anymore. No matter how hard he tried to defeat it, there was almost no result.
Forget about small countries and villages.
Overall, only Iwagakure Village was worth exploring.
At least after it was done, he could get oil and water to replenish Konoha.
Therefore, Tobirama targeted Iwagakure, and could only blame Iwagakure Village for being unlucky.
"Enough, stop arguing. Let's talk about business."
Lux spoke, suppressing the dispute between the two, and asked.
"Tobirama, are you sure you want to join forces with Sunagakure Village to attack Iwagakure Village together?"
"We must stop Sunagakure Village!"
"Afraid they will steal your home?"
It wasn't difficult to guess. If they didn't unite Sunagakure Village, what if they took advantage of Konoha's stealth attack on Iwagakure Village to secretly attack Konoha?
Tobirama didn't want to end up in Sunagakure Village for a cheap price.
"Right! Sunagakure Village must be dispatched so that we can form the Earth Country together afterwards and share the pressure on Konoha."
There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests!
Tobirama had been stabbed in the back by Kumogakure Village, finally understanding this truth.
Once Sunagakure Village joined, it was equivalent to being bound to Konoha, and it was impossible to descend in a short time.
This agreement was much more stable and reliable than any agreement.
After that, they could also join forces with Sunagakure Village to resist accusations and pressure from other major countries.
It was too late for them to rejoice that they could secretly attack Iwagakure Village together and share the benefits.
How could they refuse?
Just in case, if they did dare to refuse. Tobirama could only point the tip of his spear and stab that disobedient Sunagakure Village hard!
"Who will you send to convince Sunagakure Village?"
"I will send Kagami and Danzo."
"Oh? Aren't they both injured?"
"The injuries have an impact, but not much. And there are no more suitable candidates at the moment."
Tobirama knew very well that the person sent to persuade Sunagakure Village must have weight, strength, and be his trusted person.
Otherwise, it would be very foolish to die on the way or reveal secrets.
Hiruzen was the new Hokage on the surface and had to stay in the village. Homura and Koharu were slightly less powerful, and Torifu wasn't smooth and smart enough.
Overall, Kagami and Danzo were undoubtedly the best choices.
The former had the Sharingan, which could deal with various illusions and stealth attacks.
The latter had a good achievement in Wind Element, and was eager to achieve success, so he would definitely give his all.
"Okay. But before going there, let Madara upgrade Kagami first."
"Upgrade?"
Tobirama and Madara were both confused and didn't understand Lux's words.
