Chapter 400: Izuna's Shock (Added)
At this moment, in Uchiha Izuna's office.
"What?! Why not just wipe out the other major powers?"
Uchiha Izuna's eyes widened suddenly, and even his crimson Sharingan was revealed. He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and almost choked on the air he had just inhaled.
His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Lin Sang.
The person before me was as gentle as ever, speaking with a soft tone, and even his expression was clear.
But this contrasts sharply with the shocking things he just said.
Standing opposite Uchiha Izuna, Lin Sang was surprised by his strong reaction. Indeed, the plan might be too advanced; after all, one shouldn't take too big a step at once.
Lin Sang then softened her tone, her voice carrying a hint of probing:
"Well... if you think it's too fast to flatten the major powers, how about we take out the other ninja villages first?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Sang's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she even excitedly put her arms on the other person's desk.
The more Lin Sang thought about it, the more she felt that this idea had a decisive and brilliant quality:
"Think about it, once we take care of those most troublesome ninja villages, no one will dare to go against Konoha anymore."
"Even if nobles from other countries are dissatisfied, they should think twice before taking action, considering the power that Konoha holds. It's not something they can easily provoke."
"At that time, won't all the ninja world's requests, resources, and intelligence become Konoha's exclusive business?"
Lin Sang smiled confidently, "Who knows, Konoha's status might be able to surpass all other countries, and we'll no longer have to be beholden to those nobles."
These words came out of Lin Sang's mouth in a rapid-fire manner, giving Uchiha Izuna no chance to interrupt.
Uchiha Izuna: "..."
He opened his mouth, but found himself unable to find any words to respond.
I felt a shock to my heart.
You should know that before Hashirama Senju left, he specifically pulled him aside and repeatedly gave him instructions:
"Izuna, Lin-san seems insightful, but he's actually very soft-hearted and too kind. He can't stand bloodshed and conflict. We should keep him out of the way if possible..."
He nodded repeatedly at the time, keeping those words firmly in mind.
After all, he had spent time with Lin Sang and was naturally familiar with her character.
Kind, even somewhat naive, gentle in nature, and generous to others, she is completely different from the ninjas who have crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This report of victory, stating that "Konoha remains undefeated despite simultaneously fighting against three major nations," was also sent to him by someone on a special urgency basis.
Firstly, she was afraid that Lin Sang would worry because she hadn't heard from Hashirama for so long.
Secondly, such a record, which is enough to shake the ninja world, should indeed be known to him.
He had thought that Lin Sang would be relieved about the safety of Konoha, or would instruct them to minimize casualties, but he never expected that what he would get was such a statement: "Either the country will be destroyed, or the village will be massacred."
Flatten other countries? Annihilate all ninja villages?
Uchiha Izuna subconsciously touched his Sharingan, the crimson in his eyes carrying a hint of bewilderment.
He has lived for so many years, experienced countless life-and-death battles, seen the most ruthless ninjas, and heard countless schemes, both bright and dark.
But no one had ever spoken of "annihilating a country" and "massacring a village" as casually as Lin Sang.
It was as if it wasn't a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but just clearing weeds from the roadside.
At that moment, he even began to doubt himself—
Who is the real ninja, anyway?
Is it him, Uchiha Izuna, whose hands are stained with blood, or Lin Sang, who has gentle features and speaks these words without changing his expression?
"Izuna?"
Lin Sang saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, just staring straight at her with a look of shock and confusion in his eyes.
A little puzzled, she leaned forward and gently waved her hand in front of his eyes. "What's wrong? Why haven't you said anything?"
Uchiha Izuna snapped back to reality and said dryly, "Lin-san... do you know what it means to flatten a ninja village and destroy a country?"
He never imagined that these words would one day come out of his own mouth.
I really didn't expect it.
"It means there will be no more wars, Konoha can develop peacefully, and no one can threaten us anymore."
Lin Sang spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, her eyes clear, as if stating a perfectly simple fact, and even added:
"To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots, otherwise they will grow back with the spring breeze."
"Those ninja villages and those countries, as long as they exist, will eventually become a threat to Konoha."
"It's better to resolve this once and for all now, rather than cause further trouble later, and eliminate any future problems."
Uchiha Izuna was stunned: "..."
Oh no, he's become a conservative.
At this moment, the words that Hashirama Senju had said to him before he left couldn't help but reappear in his mind.
Is Hashirama Senju out of his mind?
And Lin Sang... isn't he acting a little strange too?!
"Ahem... I've talked a bit too much."
Lin Sang coughed lightly twice, as if belatedly realizing something. A faint blush crept onto the tips of her ears, and her tone carried a hint of embarrassment.
He guessed that Izuna was frightened by him.
Actually, he had simply read too many online novels in the past. Those plots, such as "letting go of the orphan of an enemy out of momentary pity, only to be sought out by the enemy for revenge years later," were quite common. Subconsciously, he just followed that line of thought and said it.
After all, he had seen far too many stories of people being raised to suffer the consequences of a momentary act of leniency, which is why he uttered those somewhat shocking words in this era.
"It's nothing, I'm just... a little surprised."
Uchiha Izuna has now come to his senses; he was indeed shocked by what happened.
But what's shocking is that the person who said these words was Lin Sang.
The persona Lin Sang presented to him was really not like that at all!!
"Haha, it's about time, so I'll be leaving now."
After Lin Sang finished speaking, he left directly, leaving Uchiha Izuna still pondering what Lin Sang had just said.
like......
Isn’t that impossible?
The more Ichiha Izuna thought about it, the more he felt as if his brain had been opened up, and he felt that the plan was highly feasible.
Furthermore, Izuna Uchiha was 100% certain that if Madara knew about this, he would also think it was a good idea.
But as for Hashirama Senju... he didn't know.
