Divine Tree Pillar grinned. "I just wanted to understand the meaning of my existence."
Mei Terumi froze, looking at Tsunade with a face full of confusion.
But out of trust in Tsunade, she still did nothing.
Soon, under Tsunade's lead, the group arrived at the library of the Land of God.
Before Tsunade could speak—
Divine Tree Pillar immediately became deeply interested in the books around them. "May I look around?"
He asked politely, like a well-mannered reader.
"Normally, ninja who are not from the Land of God are not allowed to browse these kinds of books."
Tsunade changed the subject.
"But for the sake of that face of yours, you may read whatever you like."
"Thank you."
As Divine Tree Pillar read, he asked:
"I want to know what kind of feelings you have for Hashirama Senju, and what kind of feelings you have for Uchiha Akira. What is the difference between them?"
"Based on my understanding, you would be willing to give your life for both Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Akira."
"But your feelings toward the two of them are different."
Divine Tree Pillar flipped through the book in his hands, displaying immense curiosity.
Written on its cover were the words:
The Basic Qualities of a Ninja.
It was a book fabricated by Uchiha Akira. It not only described the qualities a ninja should possess—
but also mixed in the ideals that ninja of the Land of God should uphold.
Mei Terumi blinked beside them.
Tsunade pursed her lips, and the two women exchanged glances.
"Tsunade, this is..."
"From my observations, this Divine Tree Person is extremely curious, and some of his thought patterns are very similar to Grandfather Hashirama's."
"Even his love for the village is the same."
Tsunade's gaze flickered. "Perhaps we can exploit this weakness."
