Chapter 176: Aoba, I Have Decided, I Want to Be the Fourth Hokage
"What kind of compensation does the Country of Lightning want? We will give this kind of compensation to the Country of Earth!" Aoba directly said something that made Minato stunned.
"This... this... the price is too high!" Minato was stunned.
"Don't think that the enemy of an enemy is a friend. It should be said that there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests!" Aoba shook his head and said, "If there is no interest that is difficult to refuse for the Country of Earth, why would they offend the Country of Lightning for the Country of Fire?"
"But... If we have to give such compensation, wouldn't the problem be solved if we give it to the Country of Lightning directly?" Minato's head was a little stuck, and he did not circle around.
This did not mean that Minato was not smart.
It was just that the current Minato did not have that much experience and means. He was still young.
It was not only Minato.
The entire Ninja World was still young and tender.
A slight disagreement.
They had to solve it the way of fighting and killing.
If they fight in that way, they would eventually follow the law of the jungle where the strong were respected, and by making good use of some ingenuity, they can achieve the victory of the weak against the strong.
"If we directly pay the compensation, the Country of Fire will be an existence that can be bullied at will in the eyes of the other countries. It is like a piece of fat meat. Anyone who is hungry will dare to bite it!"
"As long as we give the Country of Lightning the compensation, it is equivalent to the Country of Fire admitting defeat. No one outside will think that the Country of Fire is doing this for peace. They will only think that the Country of Fire is weak."
"This way, when the Country of Lightning has nothing to do in the future, they will send another ninja team to invade. Do we dare to catch them or not; Do we dare to kill them? If the other Ninja Country is short of money, they will go around the Country of Fire. Should we use compensation again to settle things down?"
When Aoba said this, he kept shaking his head. This was what he was most dissatisfied with the Third Hokage.
Too cowardly.
He did not have any guts.
He endured!
If Aoba were the Hokage, he would instead let Hyuga Hizashi die in the war with the Country of Lightning than let Hyuga Hizashi die casually.
"If you decide to pay this price, why don't you give it to Country of Lightning and lure the Country of Earth instead? I dare to guarantee that the Country of Earth will be very tempted!" Aoba said again, "After all, the Country of Earth and Country of Lightning was enemies in the first place. With such benefit, not to mention blocking the Country of Lightning; it might directly cause a war between Country of Lightning and the Country of Earth."
"This..."
Minato took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. After hearing Aoba say these words, he suddenly had a feeling that he had opened the door to a new world.
His education in the past was not this kind of unyielding attitude but more of the spirit of sacrifice, forbearance, and other things that focused on the will of fire.
"What if we don't intend to pay any price?" Minato could not help but ask again. He was not sure what the Country of Fire would decide in the end.
"Then we will be the loser!"
Aoba spread out his hands and put on a helpless expression. If they were so stubborn, what could he do?
"If we don't pay any price, the Country of Lightning will gather an army and start a war with the Country of Fire."
"The death and loss of resources brought by the war will be far greater than the price we have to pay."
"Then, as the strength of the Country of Fire weakens, the Country of Earth and the Country of Wind will attack the Country of Fire like mad dogs hungry for food."
"At that time, it will be impossible to talk with these two countries. There is no need to pay the price. They have already come here to get it themselves."
"As for why we must pay the price for this matter..."
When Aoba said this, he suddenly became silent. The smile on his face disappeared, and he looked very serious.
It was precisely because of the change in Aoba's aura.
Minato's expression also became serious.
"That is because we are not strong enough!"
"The current Third Raikage is far stronger than our Third Hokage-sama."
"The law of the jungle."
"This is the most basic logic."
"If you can reach the level of First Hokage Senju Hasirama in the near future."
"You don't have to feel uncomfortable about such a thing."
"At that time, every word you say will make the world tremble!"
Aoba looked at Minato. He had high expectations for Minato. He thought that Minato had not reached his peak in the Kyuubi Rampage.
There would be a lot of room for improvement later.
"Minato!"
"Everything in this world can not escape interest!"
"When you have the strength, you can divide the interest!"
"But if your strength is not enough, you can only pay the price!"
"No matter what the end of this matter is..."
"What you have to care about is not the disputes of interests, but the improvement of your own strength."
Aoba said one sentence after another. He raised his hand to pat Minato on the shoulder and nodded as he spoke to him.
"I understand..."
Minato's face became serious like a student who had just been instructed by a teacher, completely showing the appearance of striving hard.
As the saying goes, listening to another's words was better than reading books for ten years.
This was what Minato was feeling right now.
After listening to Aoba's words, the whole thing became clear in his heart.
"Simply put, it is strength!"
"The reason why the Country of Lightning dared to come and ask for compensation is that the Country of Lightning is powerful!"
"We have to pay the price to pull the Country of Earth together; it is also because the Country of Earth is powerful."
"And the reason why our Country of Fire is the one who has to pay the price..."
"It is because our strength declined after the Second Ninja World War!"
"If a person with the strength of First Hokage appeared in Konoha, who would dare to treat the Country of Fire like this?"
Minato narrowed his eyes. After being instructed by Aoba, he could see everything clearly.
"What Doroi!"
"What Raikage Guard!"
"These are all excuses!"
"Even if Konoha Military Police Force let Doroi go at that time..."
"Then they will use the six chunin who died!"
"If they want to add a crime, there is no need to worry about any excuses!"
"As long as the Country of Lightning has the intention to expand, they will always find excuses and crimes!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame us for not being strong enough!"
After Minato finished speaking, he stood up from the top of the Hokage Rock and looked down at the quiet Konohagakure.
All the changes.
They all started from the death of the First Hokage.
If he wanted to solve such a predicament.
Then he had to stand out as the second Senju Hashirama!
What rant?
What complaint?
It was all done by the weak.
"Aoba, I have decided, I want to be the Fourth Hokage, I want to be the strongest Hokage like the First Hokage Senju Hashirama!"
When Minato said these words, his eyes were full of determination.
