Chapter 60 - About the Protracted War

The next day.

Hashirama and Tobirama rushed back to Konoha Village non-stop.

After returning to the village, he entered the Hokage Building.

Sure enough, he saw Madara and Lux waiting in the conference room.

"Hello, Sir."

"Uchiha Madara! Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"

Tobirama rushed into the room, pointed at Madara, and roared loudly.

It was so uncomfortable asking Tobirama to clean up the troublesome Uchiha mess in front of a group of representatives from various countries!

If his brother wasn't there, he almost wanted to turn things around and stop!

"Is this a big deal?"

Madara glanced at Tobirama, his expression and tone as if destroying a village was just for fun and not worth mentioning at all.

"You…"

Tobirama was filled with anger.

"What? Do you want to dance?"

Madara wasn't worried at all that Tobirama would dare to attack him.

If the other party really took action, then he would have more reason to fix it properly.

He enjoyed seeing Tobirama look so unhappy, yet helpless.

Think about it now, there was still fun in staying in Konoha.

"Tobirama, calm down! Getting angry now won't help. We should calm down and have a good chat!"

Hashirama stopped Tobirama and continued to persuade him.

Tobirama's eyes widened, and he stared at his brother.

Why was his brother so 'reasonable' at this time?

His brother was so biased towards Madara, was he his brother, or was he his own brother?

Tobirama sat down and said nothing.

Hashirama then looked at Madara and said in a not-so-harsh tone:

"Madara, you really went too far this time. How could you suddenly destroy Iwagakure Village?"

"At least you should have informed us."

"Oh, definitely next time!"

Madara said casually, and took a sip of alcohol.

The spicy air flowed down his throat, unconsciously making his blood boil.

This stuff was pretty strong!

This was much stronger than sake or something!

Sure enough, a real man should drink this kind of liquor!

"Hm?"

"What kind of wine is this? It smells so fishy?"

Hashirama stuck out his head curiously and couldn't help but lean closer and ask.

The trace of anger he felt just now had long since disappeared into the sky.

Tobirama couldn't hold it in any longer: "Brother, what are you doing? Is this the time to talk about wine?"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, we'll talk about it later."

Hashirama rubbed his head in embarrassment, diverted his drooling gaze, and continued to say seriously:

"Madara, can you tell me why you took action against Iwagakure Village?"

Madara raised his eyebrows and said casually:

"The two people who came to visit Konoha that day really wanted to challenge me, so I gave them a chance at Iwagakure Village. It's because they were too useless and couldn't withstand my Susano'o."

Madara remained very loyal. Since this was a deal, he would never betray Lux, his instigator.

But even if he confessed, it wouldn't make much difference to Lux.

After all, Iwagakure Village would be destroyed sooner or later.

Tobirama's lips twitched, they just wanted to challenge you, but you destroyed their entire village?

Also, looking at the entire ninja world, how many people could withstand Susano'o?

But the problem had reached this point, and there was no point in cursing Madara anymore.

"Madara, this is still outrageous! Tobirama told me that your insistence on destroying Iwagakure would have a huge impact on our village."

"Even causing the other four great nations and many small countries to attack us at the same time." Hashirama said with a little anxiety.

On the way back, Tobirama kept talking about the serious consequences of Madara's actions.

"It doesn't matter. The four nations that join forces are nothing more than a group of ants, let them do it."

Madara responded very arrogantly.

After this battle, he further underestimated other countries.

He thought other ninja villages would have some strength, but he didn't expect that the dignified First Tsuchikage was only slightly stronger than a pebble.

Such a group of ants, even if they joined forces, were not as good as him.

What was there to fear?

"Hmph! You are indeed a brainless person. Do you think destroying a great nation is easy?"

"You can destroy Iwagakure Village alone, but can you destroy the entire Land of Earth alone?"

"Do you know how many people there are in the entire Land of Earth? How many cities are there? And where are they distributed?"

"Tens of millions of people!"

"Even if you kill a city with one sword, how long will it take to kill them? How long will it take to fight?"

"And they are not stupid. When they realize they can't defeat you, they will run and avoid you, which will cause more hatred!"

"Unless you kill them all, this war will never stop."

Madara's face darkened, but he hadn't thought about this.

In other words, his strategy was only aimed at those who were above pebbles, and he didn't pay attention to most ordinary people who were not as good as pebbles.

But the reality was that too much saliva could drown a person.

Too much sand and it was quite annoying.

"Then kill! Kill them until they are terrified, kill them all!"

"I have plenty of time and patience!"

Tobirama exploded again and shouted: "Even if you can kill everyone in the Land of Earth, what happens next?"

"What do the other four great nations think of you? What do many small countries think of you?"

"Because you threaten their status and lives! They will regard you as the most terrifying demon and will try their best to kill you by any means."

"They may even unite."

"At that time, can you kill all the countries and all the people in the Ninja world?"

Madara was slightly startled.

He didn't understand the minds of those ants. However, they knew the power of fear. Therefore, those ants might unite and fight him by any means.

And he himself couldn't kill everyone in the world.

"If you take one more step back, even if you are invincible in the world, no one can kill you."

"What about the Uchiha Clan? What about Konoha? Can you protect them for the rest of your life?"

Tobirama's questions were very sharp and practical.

He knew it very well.

Hashirama's + Madara's martial arts were indeed unmatched in the world. But invincibility didn't mean omnipotence!

Even if Susano'o and Wood Style Buddha weren't sent at the same time, one was sent to fight while the other stayed in Konoha.

It was highly likely that the four great nations could be defeated while protecting Konoha. However, in the end, it was just a defeat.

There was no way to destroy the other four great nations!

Because ninjas are human. As humans, they have to eat, participate in social cooperation, and participate in resource exchange.

Not to mention the entire Konoha Village?

Even if Hashirama stayed, he could protect Konoha. But he wasn't a god, he couldn't wave his hand and conjure up all the supplies Konoha needed.

Konoha still needed to eat, right? All kinds of daily necessities still had to be transported and couldn't be self-sufficient in isolation, could they?

This required the great nations to produce, transport, and trade.

Actually, some great nations used similar methods.

Let ninjas gradually separate themselves from production, brainwash them into weapons of war, and then use material and economic constraints to achieve long-term control.

Now it was starting to take shape.

Only when the third generation reached the fourth generation would it reach its peak and could even easily decide the replacement of the Hokage position.

Therefore, if Konoha Village became the enemy of the entire world, and even became the enemy of the Land of Fire, all material and economic channels to Konoha would be cut off. This alone would be enough to cause all kinds of conflicts in the newly established Konoha Village, even to the point of destruction.

Unless Konoha sent a very strong ninja escort at all times.

But no matter how strong Madara was, he couldn't escort every route and every time he transported supplies.

Don't underestimate all the ninjas in the world, after they decided they couldn't defeat Madara directly, they would inevitably hide, spread out, use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to destroy Konoha, and continuously harass Konoha tirelessly.

One year, two years, five years, ten years.

Until Konoha completely collapsed!

If Madara could bear it, could the Uchiha Clan and the others bear it?

If Hashirama could bear it, could the Senju Clan and Konoha as a whole bear it?

This was what Tobirama was most worried and concerned about!

What he feared was not that his elder brother couldn't defeat his enemies. Instead, he was worried that the enemies would unite to play dirty tricks against Konoha, strive for friction, and engage in a protracted war.

The newly established Konoha didn't have enough savings and cohesion to wage a long-term war against the entire ninja world!
