The Time Left for the World Was Running Out

People tend to focus on what's right in front of them.

However, everyone's vision is different, and not everyone can set their sights on distant stars and the sea like Hinata.

In the Hokage Building's conference room, Tsunade, Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura were still discussing Konoha's future direction all night long.

"If a war breaks out in the Shinobi World, the peace we have worked so hard to maintain will be completely destroyed. Do you know how many people will die in a war?"

Tsunade was furious. She Danzo and roared, "How many of our comrades and loved ones have died in the war? If we make a little concession, we can resolve this crisis."

Danzo narrowed his left eye, which was the only eye visible, and said calmly, "Peace is not something that can be achieved through compromise. In fact, I have experienced more wars than you, and I understand what war is all about better."

"It is precisely because there is no absolute power to rule the world that wars break out frequently."

"The casualties we suffer now are only temporary, but if we do nothing, our descendants will still face frequent wars."

Do you want to leave problems that we can't solve to our descendants?

Danzo glanced at Tsunade and said in Danzo voice, "Tsunade, you are hindering the progress of the world."

"If your grandfather, the First Hokage, had been like you and hadn't established a village because he was afraid of casualties, what would this world be like?"

Tsunade argued forcefully, "Dictatorialism cannot bring peace."

"It is precisely because the Shinobi World has so many villages that we are able to accept other people's opinions, absorb their ideas, and improve ourselves."

"If the Shinobi World only had Konoha as a village, we would quickly lose ourselves in blind arrogance and become a dictator."

"It was precisely because my grandfather had such considerations that he did not continue the war."

Danzo sneered, "But it was precisely because of the First Hokage's stagnation that the Shinobi World experienced three wars, which were far more brutal than those in the past."

"The casualties we suffer now are to reduce the number of casualties in our future generations."

Tsunade shouted angrily, "No! Once we become dictators, someone will stand up and overthrow us, and that will be an even more brutal war."

"Moreover, our Konoha may not necessarily possess the power to rule the Shinobi World."

Danzo said in a deep voice, "As long as we perfect the Impure World Reincarnation and use Hinata's power to retrieve all the Tailed Beasts, we can unify the Shinobi World and establish an unprecedented system."

Koharu and Homura kept glancing at Tsunade and Danzo.

Faced with such a major event, they also find it difficult to make a decision all at once.

Hyuga Hiashi felt lost and afraid when facing the unknown universe. Tsunade, facing an unknown future, also had her own worries.

All their worries stem from their own lack of strength, their limited perspective, and their narrow view of the world.

Tsunade was really worried about was that she was afraid her abilities wouldn't be enough to maintain a unified situation.

If Tsunade possessed Kaguya Otsutsuki's power, she would have unified the Shinobi World long ago.

Because she has absolute confidence in her own strength.

Danzo said calmly, "We won't reach a conclusion by continuing to argue... Let's convene Jonin meeting and let the Jonin of the village vote!"

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Not just Konoha, but all the ninja villages in the Shinobi World are discussing this topic.

Originally, everyone was shocked by the Rinnegan and the Impure World Reincarnation, and regarded the Akatsuki as a huge threat.

But when everyone realized what was going on, they suddenly discovered that Hinata possessed the power to fight against the Rinnegan, and that the Impure World Reincarnation was Ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage.

The Akatsuki's possession of the Rinnegan and the Impure World Reincarnation technique already posed a huge threat.

So what kind of threat would Konoha, with its power to counter the Rinnegan and its Impure World Reincarnation, Konoha?

So everyone turned their attention back to Konoha.

This is a problem that the entire Shinobi World has to face.

This is also a problem that must be resolved as soon as possible.

If Konoha is given more time, Konoha will become even stronger, strong enough that the other major Shinobi Village will lose the right to resist.

While they still have the ability to challenge Konoha, the major Shinobi Village must unite as soon as possible.

The threat posed by Konoha manifests in two ways.

Hinata, and the Impure World Reincarnation.

Hinata, as a power capable of countering the Rinnegan, can be temporarily set aside because she is needed by others.

However, the issue of Impure World Reincarnation) must be resolved.

Orochimaru will not pass on the Impure World Reincarnation to others, and according to the information from the previous battle, Orochimaru's limit is to summon three dead people.

But Konoha is a ninja village!

If Konoha selects a group of trustworthy ninjas and teaches them the Impure World Reincarnation, it will become an army of Impure World Reincarnation.

And every single person in this army was once a powerful figure.

Orochimaru has perfected the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and Konoha has witnessed its power. This technique can unleash the full strength of the deceased in their lifetime.

Furthermore, due to their invincibility and unlimited Chakra, the Impure World Reincarnation dead are even more powerful than they were in life.

This is what truly terrifies the entire Shinobi World.

The Fourth Raikage is already on his way back to Kumogakure. Chiyo and Ebizo of Sunagakure have also returned to take charge of the Sunagakure. Kirigakure and Iwagakure are also exchanging glances.

The major Shinobi Village in the Shinobi World only need one person to take the lead to formally form an alliance.

Time is running out for Konoha, and time is running out for the Shinobi World as well.

The Hokage Building.

Leaving the meeting room, Tsunade walked up to the rooftop, feeling troubled and looking at the night view of Konoha, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

The position of Hokage has never been an honor, but a responsibility.

Once Hokage, you must take on the responsibility for the entire village.

Shimura Danzō saying he wanted to start a war, and even wanted to use Hinata's power to retrieve the Tailed Beasts before the major Shinobi Village joined forces.

But if Tsunade were to make this decision, she would have to bear the consequences of Konoha's defeat.

Even if Konoha were to be unified, would the Shinobi World truly be at peace?

The establishment of Konoha did indeed bring peace to the Land of Fire. The system of one village per country ensured internal stability during peacetime.

If only one ninja village remains in the Shinobi World, what will become of the ninjas who rely on missions for a living?

To seize power in the country?

That is one way out.

However, when political and military power are concentrated in one person at the same time, it is the dictatorship that Tsunade fears most.

Konoha does indeed currently practice abdication, but the Hokage Position is abdicated in the name of master and disciple.

However, this system of master-disciple abdication could easily turn into a family abdication system.

Even the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, considered having Asuma succeed Hokage Position, and he had even paved the way for Asuma.

But in Tsunade's view, this was the most terrifying part.
