These words spread throughout Shattered Valley.
Hashirama was stunned in place.
I originally thought that Ren's so-called becoming a god was just to gain a reputation that was higher than that of Five Kage by defeating God of Shinobi.
Even if Ren wants all Shinobi World to recognize his strongest status, Hashirama can understand.
It is not uncommon for strong people to desire to reach the top.
But he didn't expect that the god Ren mentioned was not just an honorific at all.
He is really prepared to overpower Five Great Countries, overlook all the ninja villages, and dictate Shinobi World's future with absolute authority!
Third Kazekage The cracks on his face tightened slightly.
Hozuki Gengetsu also lost his previous joking expression.
Kakuzu's five hearts were beating heavily. When he looked at Ren, there was only fear in his green pupils.
Orochimaru covered his bleeding eyes. Although his vision had not yet recovered, he still clearly heard Ren's declaration.
He originally thought that his appetite for pursuing eternal life and seizing all Ninjutsu in the world was already big enough.
But compared to Ren, what he was pursuing seemed small.
He wants to explore the world Jian Zhen.
Ren wants to sit on the throne of the world and let the whole Shinobi World run according to his will!
Tobirama stared at Ren, his face getting colder and colder.
It wasn't until this moment that he truly confirmed that Ren's desire to become a god was not a whim after defeating Hashirama.
This is a long-planned plan.
Reform Uchiha, establish Temple, pass down the new cultivation method, crush Kumogakure, accumulate reputation, challenge Hashirama again, step on God of Shinobi to reach the top of Shinobi World.
Every step is paving the way for this ultimate goal.
"Uchiha Ren."
Tobirama spoke slowly.
"You are more dangerous than Madara."
Hashirama looked at him sharply.
"Tobirama!"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Tobirama never gives in.
"What Madara Uchiha wanted to do when he left Konoha was to destroy the existing system and achieve peace in his own way."
"But what this kid wants is to have the entire Shinobi World crawl at his feet."
"He is not satisfied with unifying Shinobi World."
"He will become the supreme judge and turn all countries, ninja villages and ninjas into subjects who obey his will!"
Ren said calmly, "I never asked them to become subjects."
"Is there a difference?"
Tobirama asked coldly.
"When you have the power to decide everything, who dares to oppose you?"
"If you think a war should not happen, Five Great Countries must cease the war."
"If you think a certain ninja village is guilty, you can punish it."
"If you think a certain rule is beneficial to Shinobi World, everyone can only obey it."
"No one can check you, and no one is qualified to veto you."
"This is not God."
"This is the tyrant who rules Shinobi World with absolute power!"
Ren was not angry because of this accusation.
"As long as it can end the war, the title doesn't matter."
"Of course it's important!"
Hashirama finally spoke.
He held the broken Impure World Body, his face full of solemnity.
"Ren, obedience based on fear cannot bring true peace."
"You can make everyone fear your power, you can make Five Kage dare not disobey your orders, and you can also prevent any war that is about to break out."
"But the human heart is not Ninjutsu."
"You cannot rely on power to make everyone truly agree with each other, let alone erase all the hatred that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years."
"As long as hatred persists, resistance will not disappear."
"The more you suppress, the stronger the resistance will be."
Ren asked, "So I should continue to wait?"
Hashirama was speechless for a moment.
Ren Take a step forward.
"Waiting for Five Great Countries to understand each other?"
"Wait until all the ninja villages take the initiative to put down their hatred?"
"Or should we wait until every ninja learns to resolve disputes with love?"
"Hashirama, you have waited."
"Decades have passed, and the answer given by Shinobi World is three Shinobi World wars."
Hashirama's lips moved.
"Even so, one person's will cannot replace everyone."
Ren looked at him.
"Then let everyone continue to die?"
"Just because the methods I used were not gentle enough, do I have to deny the path that can truly end the war?"
"For those children who died on the battlefield, is death brought by love more noble, or peace brought by power is more cruel?"
Hashirama fell silent.
Tobirama was not brought into this battle of ideas by Ren.
He never believed that peace could be achieved through love and understanding alone, but he also did not agree with handing over the entire Shinobi World to one person.
"Even if what you say makes sense, there is still a fatal problem with this plan."
Ren looked at him.
Tobirama raises his hand and points to Ren.
"You are the only one."
"You are indeed strong."
"You defeated Big Brother, Impure World Body, which has 70% to 80% strength, and you also crushed Kumogakure head-on. Now in the entire Shinobi World, perhaps no living person can compete with you."
"But so what?"
"Mortals have a limit to their lifespan."
"You are only fifteen years old now. With your body and Chakra, it may not be difficult to survive Ninja."
"But what about a hundred years from now?"
"What about two hundred years from now?"
Tobirama's question made everyone around him change their expressions.
Hashirama also realized the problem immediately.
Tobirama continued, "While you are alive, you can intimidate Shinobi World with your invincible power."
"Five Great Countries dare not start a war. The major ninja villages dare not resist. Everyone can only abide by the rules you set."
"But after you die, who will sit in that position?"
"Fugaku Uchiha?"
"Uchiha Shisui?"
"Or Itachi Uchiha?"
Fugaku's face darkened slightly, and Shisui also looked at Tobirama.
Tobirama ignored them.
"They have Mangekyo, which is far stronger than the ordinary Kage Level, but who among them can suppress the entire Shinobi World like you?"
"Who can defeat the big brother who has 70% to 80% strength head-on?"
"Who can make Five Great Countries not dare to even think about resisting?"
"No one."
His voice became heavier and heavier.
"When you die, the order you established with absolute force will collapse instantly."
"Five Great Countries, who has been suppressed by you for decades, will fight back crazily."
"All those who have lost their power, land and interests because of you will blame Uchiha for their hatred."
"They will unite and besiege Konoha, besiege Uchiha."
"Even if Uchiha has four pairs of Mangekyo, even if you have this team of Temple, you can't stop the decades-long revenge of the entire Shinobi World."
"Your people will be killed."
"Uchiha's bloodline will be wiped out."
"By then, the peace you established will only lead to a crazier and more bloody war!"
No one around made a sound.
Fugaku frowned.
Shisui looks serious.
Many Uchiha Shrine members also clenched their weapons.
They may not care about Five Great Countries's hostility, or they may follow Ren to fight against Shinobi World, but the problems pointed out by Tobirama do exist.
The biggest weakness of an order built on the absolute strong is the strong himself.
Ren is alive and no one dares to resist.
When Ren dies, all the suppressed hatred will completely explode.
