Chapter 44 Big Red Mouth
"The reason why the Hidden Cloud Village attacked the Uzumaki Clan was very simple—sealing techniques. However, at least for now, they did not succeed. At most, they obtained some incomplete sealing technique inheritances, and they did not even come into contact with the Namendo."
What Jiraiya is saying now is no surprise. Akaishi and Minato had already thought of it before, since they had been talking about the problem of Kumogakure's lack of sealing techniques.
The sealing techniques of the Hidden Cloud Village were not very sophisticated to begin with. They relied on the Six Paths Treasures to seal the tailed beasts. Now that the Gold and Silver Brothers are dead and the Six Paths Treasures have been sealed as well, they naturally have to find other ways to continue controlling the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails.
In stark contrast to the Second Raikage, the Third Raikage was not only a proponent of war, but even wanted to first defeat Konoha to ignite a major war...
Therefore, he set his sights on the Land of Whirlpools.
The Uzumaki clan was not weak and had a close alliance with Konoha. However, Kumogakure seized the opportunity of Konoha's turmoil and wiped out the Uzumaki clan.
However, he did not achieve his goal...
What he clearly hoped for was not simply to annihilate the Uzumaki clan, but to subjugate them for his own use and obtain their sealed power.
However, Akaishi and Minato knew that Kumogakure had risked infiltrating Konoha three days ago to try and capture Kushina Uzumaki—they obviously wouldn't have done it if they had no other choice.
It is evident that in the Land of Whirlpools, they have at most obtained some scattered inheritances. Whether they can integrate them into a stronger sealing technique remains to be seen.
"So? What are your thoughts?" Jiraiya asked, trying to provoke them.
Whether he was talking about the changes in Kirigakure before or now about the changes in Kumogakure, the reason Jiraiya spoke in such detail, exceeding the requirements of the mission, was because he had high hopes for these three students and wanted them to think about it more.
"I don't think... we can blame the First Hokage entirely," Akaishi said after holding back for a while.
Jiraiya, Minato, Ranmai: ...
Who the hell said we should blame the First Hokage?
However, after Akaishi said it, they couldn't help but think of...
The First Mizukage and the First Tsuchikage, who advocated peaceful coexistence, were directly killed by the Tailed Beasts Project, and the "Jinchūriki" even greatly assisted the pro-war faction in Kumogakure...
Do you, Hashirama Senju, bear absolutely no responsibility?
For a moment, Jiraiya and Ranma also found it difficult to give an evaluation.
Seeing that Jiraiya-sensei did not agree, Akaishi's expression changed, and he cautiously asked, "Jiraiya-sensei, you... you don't mean... that the position of Kage shouldn't be passed on to a foreign ninja, do you?"
"I didn't say that!" Jiraiya couldn't help but take out his paper fan and tap Akaishi on the head.
Fortunately, the water gate opened at that moment, changing the subject...
"The changes in Kirigakure may have initially been due to personal grudges or power struggles, but they continued to expand and lasted for nearly twenty years. They were a manifestation of the intensification and outbreak of conflicts between the new generation of commoner ninjas and clan ninjas."
"The coup in Kumogakure occurred because the Second Raikage failed to consider the opinions of the pro-war faction and only promoted his own ideas, which led to the inability of the most basic unity between the factions in the village." Minato's words showed his competence.
At least they didn't immediately "forgive the first generation".
Jiraiya nodded; this was exactly what he wanted to hear: "That's right, so what we need to think about is what we should do."
He hoped that the future of Konoha would not allow Konoha to repeat the mistakes made by Kirigakure and Kumogakure.
"As long as we can uphold the Will of Fire, Konoha will never end up like them!" As a descendant of the Senju clan, Lanwu's solution was more direct than that of her great-grandfather.
"That's too far..." Akashi shook his head, feeling that Lanwu's words were vague.
"What do you think?" Lan Wu glared at him.
"We should actively prepare for war! If the Ninja World War breaks out again, we must destroy Kumogakure to avenge the Second Hokage and our ally, the Uzumaki clan!" Akaishi said righteously.
Lan Wu paused upon hearing this. Although this blatant act of revenge was completely different from the values her grandfather had taught her, Chi Shi was talking about avenging her grandfather, which made it impossible for her to refute, and she even felt somewhat unwilling to refute it.
"A great ninja village isn't so easy to destroy. You have to understand that the great ninja villages of today are all established by powerful ninja clans that survived hundreds or thousands of years of the Warring States period. They survived hundreds of years of turmoil and are now deeply connected with the five great nations..." Jiraiya said, shaking his head.
"At the very least, we must kill the Third Raikage, severely punish the Yotsuki clan, and completely suppress the pro-war faction in Kumogakure!" Akaishi declared confidently.
"Do not be angry, for anger will diminish your wisdom; do not hate, for hatred will cloud your judgment," Jiraiya reassured him.
It's common knowledge that the Uchiha clan is easily excitable.
On one hand, it seems that their brain structure is like that; on the other hand, because of the Sharingan's amplification mechanism, the Uchiha clan deliberately indulges in the outburst of emotions, which makes them more easily agitated over time...
For example, Akaishi now thinks, "So what if my intelligence drops? My anger can raise the temperature of my Fire Release!"
"Alright, go back and rest. We're heading back to the port of the Land of Fire tomorrow," Jiraiya said, urging them to go back and rest.
The purpose of these remarks is merely to enlighten them, not to expect some children to say anything about how they can save the ninja world.
……
Akaishi returned to his sleeping bag, hesitating whether to "immerse himself" in sleep.
After all, they came to pay homage to the Uzumaki clan, so it seemed somewhat offensive to cultivate on the old site of Uzumaki Village.
However, Akaishi thought again—why not just offer a prayer? Who knows if the spirits of the Uzumaki clan can see or not?
And since I'm stronger, wouldn't I be better able to avenge you in a war that's likely to break out in the future?
With this in mind, Akaishi decisively began to "immerse" himself in the task.
Tonight is also the last hour of this series, "You Call Me a Quack, Fine, I'll Be a Veterinarian Then"...
After experiencing betrayal by an ungrateful wretch, financial ruin, and his wife running away, Hongyan's pet hospital finally became increasingly successful, and soon attracted investment from a beautiful female boss, opening branches all over the country.
Hong Yan developed various pet medicines, bringing in a fortune...
Akaishi finally breathed a sigh of relief—it seems there are more than just two possible outcomes: "I'll be satisfied if I see that jerk regret it" and "making dumplings."
Although "You Call Me a Quack, Fine, I'll Be a Veterinarian Then" also left Akaishi feeling cerebellar deficiencies and illogical, the emotions ultimately unfolded smoothly...
At this moment, Akaishi's true emotions and the hypothalamus that had been taken over finally reached a consensus. The "Swift Flame (Fire Release Speed)" which was originally the slowest, suddenly surged to 3%, directly breaking through two thresholds!
However, what Akaishi is focused on right now is watching the entire series and getting a special GG reward...
[The immersive experience of "You Call Me a Quack, Fine, I'll Be a Veterinarian" is coming to an end. This series was sponsored by "Da Chi Yi Kou," a reputable pet food and medicine brand! Da Chi Yi Kou, a friend of man's best friend...]
Akaashi:? ? ?
What is this? Is it trying to make me eat dog food?
[Searching for the target...]
Fortunately, it wasn't given to Akaishi for testing directly; instead, it automatically started searching for targets...
Akaashi:? ? ?
I don't have any ninja beasts either!
Otherwise, it seems like Choza Akimichi would eat anything...
