Chapter 8: I am to Blame!
"See the essence through the phenomena. That's the result. After the first Five Kage Summit, Konoha has it."
"One: Through the large amount of money and land obtained from selling seven Bijuu, Konoha has accumulated the most primitive development capital, without having to worry about the economic manipulation of the daimyo."
"Two: The most stable Bijuu Jinchuriki sealed by its allies, the Uzumaki Clan, will almost never go berserk without outside intervention."
"Three: Konoha has the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, which is naturally easy to control the Bijuu. It has the advantage of suppressing its own Bijuu or controlling the Bijuu of other villages."
"Four: A time bomb has been planted for the five great villages. Every Bijuu riot will weaken every ninja village, thus strengthening Konoha."
"Ah?"
"Are there so many benefits?"
Hashirama was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that dividing the Bijuu would bring so many benefits to Konoha.
"Your brother may have guessed all this, but it's hard for him to tell you."
"Tobirama, did you know all this?"
Hashirama turned to Tobirama, shocked again.
Tobirama's eyes shifted slightly, but he still nodded in agreement.
The reason why he didn't completely oppose the Bijuu confederation was because of his brother's will, and on the other hand, he also saw the benefits, so he pushed for the Bijuu confederation.
And as a master of forbidden techniques, he was very aware of the level of sealing techniques in other ninja villages. It's impossible to successfully utilize the power of the Bijuu in a short period of time, so he was relieved to entrust it.
In fact, no one in the First Shinobi World War used the Bijuu to fight.
"If it's broken, won't I be a swindler who deliberately tricked the Five Kage?" Hashirama slumped, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Tobirama also said with a rare firmness:
"Brother, don't be naive! Do you think the other four Kage can't see this? Do you think they really believe your idea?"
"Then why did they still accept it?"
"Brother, with your strength, how could they say no? Besides, you've already bowed. If they don't give you face, how dare they start a war with you?"
They are all the first Kage of the Ninja Villages who ended the wars in a country. Although Hashirama's strength exceeds the standard, it doesn't mean that the other four Kage are useless.
They are all Shodaime, so how could they be convinced by a few words from Hashirama. In the final analysis, they still believe that the benefits they can gain from dividing the Bijuu outweigh the costs, so they agreed.
"Ah?"
Hashirama opened his mouth in confusion, feeling like he was the only fool in the world?
"Wait, since the benefits are so great, why would there be several Shinobi World Wars later?"
Hashirama is not stupid, he quickly understood the key point.
Lux was also helpless.
Dividing the Bijuu is not the optimal solution, but it's very good.
The above four advantages alone are enough for Konoha to sit back and wait for victory.
But Konoha after the Second Hokage cannot be said to be strange.
Senju Clan members were wasted in the name of roles, and only watched the entire Uzumaki Clan be destroyed.
Danzo exterminated the Uchiha Clan.
Don't delegate life-and-death power to Minato, and antagonize the new Jinchuriki.
Etc...
If it was just missing one thing, it might not be able to win three or four battles.
However, Konoha stepped on all the traps and crippled all its hands and feet, afraid that it wouldn't die quickly.
But, these contradictions and trends in the future cannot be explained in a few words.
After taking Hashirama and the others to witness it with their own eyes, it becomes clearer and more convincing.
"The reason is complicated, but it's mainly due to the different levels of handling the losses from dividing the Bijuu."
"(O_O)?"
Not only did Hashirama not hear it, Tobirama didn't understand either.
"What is the main drawback of dividing the Bijuu?"
Lux looked at Tobirama, who also answered firmly.
"The great power of the Bijuu itself is its weakness!"
"Yes, precisely, it can be divided into external and internal."
"External means other ninja villages control the Bijuu's attack. This is not easy. At least you need to have a Perfect Jinchuriki, don't worry about it for now."
"The key is the internal factor, which is the Bijuu Riot."
"Is the Bijuu Riot difficult to deal with?" Hashirama asked hesitantly. He has never captured a Bijuu, and he only has a vague idea of the Bijuu's strength.
But judging from Ginkaku who just transformed into a Bijuu, it doesn't seem like a big threat?
"The Bijuu itself is not strong. What's strong is their unique Bijudama."
Except for Hachibi and Kyuubi, the other Bijuu are not very strong overall.
The Fourth Kazekage was able to suppress Shukaku alone, which shows that certain special Kage-level ninjas can defeat the Bijuu in a targeted way.
However, the Bijuu has a deviant strategic ability, which is the Bijudama.
It's no problem to blow up the entire mountain with a normal charged Bijudama. Looking at the entire Naruto world, there is no ninja who can withstand this force at close range with more than one palm.
Therefore, the most terrifying thing about the Bijuu is not riding it to cause destruction in the enemy village.
Instead, control the Bijuu and secretly fire a Bijudama at the enemy village from a distance of several kilometers or tens of kilometers.
In an instant, the entire village goes crazy!
No matter how many elites you have, or how many trump card ninjutsu you have. Under the nuclear explosion, all living things are equal.
This is the true Strategic Killer Weapon!
After the battle in the Valley of the End, why did Hashirama feel that the Kyuubi was so dangerous?
Because he wasn't afraid of the Kyuubi's physical strength, but he saw one of Madara's Bijudama could hit across the sea and blow up a vast area!
This is what he was afraid of, because he was afraid that the Kyuubi would also give Konoha a Bijudama.
Therefore, when sealing the Bijuu later, the most stable sealing technique of the Uzumaki Clan was also used.
Lux pointed to the explosion area in the distance where the Bijudama was just slapped away by Hashirama.
Hashirama also suddenly understood.
If such an explosion hit Konoha Village unexpectedly, the entire village would disappear in an instant.
"Such power is indeed a great threat to the village!. But after the Bijuu was split, everyone has mastered this power, and maybe they can prevent each other..." Hashirama stopped in mid-sentence, because this First Shinobi World War has already slapped him in the face.
"Threatening each other can never prevent war, they can only delay the arrival of war and increase the casualties of war. The Second Hokage should also be aware of this, right?"
Hashirama looked at his second younger brother again.
"Tobirama, you know this, so why didn't you stop me from the beginning?"
"Brother, we have the Uzumaki Clan's sealing technique, and the Jinchuriki is very stable. Even if there is a Bijuu riot, there is evil... and the Uchiha Sharingan that can control the Bijuu. The village is generally safe!"
Tobirama argued that he had never hidden his fear of the Uchiha Clan.
However, he became more aware of the power of the Sharingan, especially when Madara tamed the Kyuubi to be as 'tame' as a cat.
Therefore, he accepted Uchiha Kagami as his personal bodyguard over all objections.
On the one hand, there is confidence in Kagami, and he wants to use him to change the Uchiha Clan and adjust the conflict.
On the other hand, he is also interested in Kagami's talent and ability, hoping to help Hiruzen well and provide insurance against the Bijuu riot.
It's a pity that no matter how good his arrangements are, he cannot predict the changes in the future.
"But, what about the other ninja villages? They don't have these conditions."
"I know, it's precisely because they don't have advanced sealing techniques that they are unable to perfectly suppress the Bijuu for a long time, so I agreed to divide the Bijuu."
"Why?"
"In this way, every time a 'Bijuu riot' occurs in their village, their strength will definitely be greatly weakened, which is more conducive to the safety of Konoha!"
"Tobirama, why are you so evil?"
Tobirama: "😐"
Tobirama fell silent and turned his head sadly, not wanting to argue about good and evil with his naive brother.
The fault lies with him!
For the sake of the village, he has no choice but to be a villain.
