The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 257 Let's Disband Konoha Village

Chapter 257 Let's Disband Konoha Village

"First Hokage, this isn't the time for this. You need to find a way to defeat them quickly!"

He was frantically running around in circles, but Hashirama had an innocent expression on his face.

"Why did I even bother defeating them?"

"The current situation is that you're invading someone else's country; they're the ones on the side of justice!"

"Stop wasting your breath and pack your things to retreat back to the village."

"From now on, we should focus on developing the village honestly and stop thinking about getting something for nothing."

"What?!" Kazuma's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he pointed at Hashirama and roared, "Are you the Hokage of Konoha or Takumi-gakure?!"

How could you side with outsiders?

"I stand on the side of justice and will not be used by you!" Hashirama said firmly.

"But if you don't eliminate such a powerful enemy now, who will be able to stop him when he attacks Konoha Village?"

'

"How many people will die then?"

"Can you really bear to watch all those children in Konoha die?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Hashirama, Kazuma changed his tone and started using moral blackmail.

As expected, these words made Hashirama's expression turn serious, and he began to lower his head and seriously consider countermeasures.

Seeing this, Kazuma felt smug and became even more unwilling to relax, piling one responsibility after another onto Hashirama, thinking of using this method to drive the former "God of Shinobi".

Only Tobirama, who knew his brother's personality best, rolled his eyes speechlessly, muttered "idiot," and turned his head away.

"You—" Kazuma certainly heard the curse, but after glancing at the pensive Hashirama, he ultimately didn't dare to retaliate.

"If that day ever comes—" Hashirama raised his head solemnly, his eyes filled with seriousness and determination, "then let's disband Konoha!"

"What?!" Kazuma could hardly believe his ears. "W-What are you talking about? What do you mean by disbanding Konoha?"

"It means exactly what it says." Hashirama replied seriously, "I also heard the information the Third Hokage gave me before. Uchiha An hates Konoha Village, not any particular person in the village, and he doesn't have any deep-seated hatred for those ordinary ninja clans."

"Once Konoha Village is disbanded and there is no longer a target of hatred, this hatred will naturally dissipate."

"Huh? What kind of method is this?" This time, not only Kazuma found it hard to accept, but even the ordinary ninja clans couldn't accept it.

Tobirama simply shrugged and sighed, "Heh, I knew it."

Hashirama explained, "Compared to the village as a whole, the villagers within it are definitely more important!"

"After the village is disbanded, the villagers and ninjas can simply transfer to other ninja villages, and I think other villages will definitely be willing to accept these people."

"However, once everyone arrives in the new village, some issues of mutual trust are inevitable."

"But I believe that as long as everyone treats each other with sincerity, we can all understand each other and eventually integrate smoothly into the new village."

Hashirama's face was solemn, and every word and action came from his heart. He truly believed that if the village couldn't defeat Uchiha An, it would be better to just disband.

When he established the ninja village, his purpose was to end war in the ninja world and prevent children from entering the battlefield at a very young age. He had no intention of achieving great deeds or gathering power.

If disbanding the ninja village could bring peace, he wouldn't care if the Hidden Leaf Village he once founded disappeared from the ninja world.

But the more this is the case, the less others can accept it.

"Who wants to be integrated into this new village?" everyone shouted in unison.

Even the Third Hokage found it hard to accept Hashirama's idea.

Itachi roared excitedly.

"First Hokage, how could you say such a thing?"

"Do you know how much we've sacrificed for the peace and stability of the village? How can you so easily dismiss our efforts and let all our hard work go to waste with just a few words?"

Hashirama turned to look at Itachi, knowing that this was the person directly chosen to carry out the mission of annihilating the Uchiha clan. He immediately advised him seriously, "Itachi, remember, don't confuse your purpose with your means."

"You shouldn't be fighting to protect the village, but to protect every single member of the village."

"You should not abandon any of your companions in any village, and you should never abandon a few for the sake of the majority."

"The weight of companions does not vary with their number or strength."

95

"This is the true meaning of a ninja fighting to the death."

"Hiruzen did a very bad job in this regard; you shouldn't learn from him."

Hearing the First Hokage's words, which sounded almost like a reprimand, Itachi felt a chill run through his body, a pain of being completely rejected.

"No, that's not how it is—"

Itachi muttered to himself, his Yin Release chakra fluctuating violently, and the Sharingan in his eyes constantly rotating and contracting, making him seem like a madman.

Hashirama was very familiar with the Uchiha clan's situation. Seeing Itachi in this state, he couldn't help but frown, his gaze towards Itachi filled with worry and sympathy.

"Heh, as expected of the evil Uchiha." Tobirama, who was standing to the side, also saw Itachi's appearance and couldn't help but feel wary.

He knew very well that if he could absorb the emotional fluctuations, his strength would definitely improve once again.

Although Itachi's increased strength was beneficial to Konoha, Tobirama desperately didn't want Konoha, to which he had invested so much effort, to ultimately fall into the clutches of the Uchiha clan.

If an evil Uchiha were to become the Hokage of Konoha, he would rather Konoha disband.

Kazuma, who was standing nearby, was unaware of the Uchiha clan's characteristics and feared that Itachi, their trump card, might be in trouble. He quickly grabbed Itachi and shouted, "Itachi, don't believe what this guy is saying!"

"What kind of 'God of Ninjas' is he? He earned his title through brute force, didn't he?"

"If he's not strong enough, who'll take his words seriously?"

"Just like Jiraiya, weren't his ideas just as naive?"

"But what was the result?"

"Remember this: in this world, whoever is stronger has the final say!"

"What you need to do now is find a way to become stronger, as strong as those two Uchiha over there!"

"If they can do it, there's no reason you can't!"

"When you become the strongest ninja in the world, your principles will naturally become the principles of the ninja world, and who will dare to oppose you?"

Hearing what Kazuma said, Itachi's dim eyes immediately brightened again.

"Lord Kazuma, you're right, I must become stronger!"

"To become stronger than Uchiha Madara and Uchiha An!"

He clenched his fists, raised them high, looked up at the sky, and roared at the top of his lungs.

"I will become stronger by any means necessary!"

"I will become stronger at all costs!"

All I want is—

"powerful!"

"powerful!!"

"powerful!!!"
