"Actually, on my way back to Konoha, I met ninjas from the Akatsuki organization."

Zephyr told everything about his encounter with Kakuzu and Hidan.

According to the original plot of Naruto.

The Akatsuki organization will start capturing tailed beasts three years later, when the timeline officially enters Shippuden.

However, now, Kakuzu and Hidan took action in advance.

It was probably because of their relationship that Obito and Kuro Zetsu couldn't bear it anymore.

So the original plan was brought forward.

But since Kakuzu and Hidan can act in advance.

That means other members of the Akatsuki organization will also take action in advance.

Take advantage of the chaos to capture the tailed beast.

Hefeng stated his point of view.

Based on these relationships, he felt that this declaration of war against the Kingdom of Thunder would not cause the whole-body situation that Xiaochun and Yan were worried about.

"Moreover, I want to bring true peace to the ninja world."

"Eliminating the concept of country is also a very important step."

"Declaring war on the Kingdom of Thunder is only the first step."

"After that, there will be the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Water, and the Kingdom of Earth..."

Hefeng stood up from his chair and began to explain his ideals.

The reason why he strives to develop Konoha's economy and military is to give Konoha the capital to fight against the four major countries.

All of this is not for selfish desires or personal ambitions.

But for true peace.

"War ends war."

"Looking at the history of the ninja world, it can almost be said to be the history of war."

"Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara shook hands and made peace, and then established the first ninja village."

"After that, heroes from various regions followed suit."

"That was the complete end of the Warring States Period."

"Eliminating wars between families."

"Let the world usher in peace."

"But with the death of the First Hokage, this guardian of peace is no longer there."

"The shadows in each village also had evil intentions, and started the first ninja war."

"Even Tobirama-sama died at the end of the First Ninja War."

"Later, the second time, the third time."

"There are also some local wars among them."

"It can be said that the ninja world has been in constant war for hundreds of years."

"Understanding history means you can understand the rise and fall of the times."

Hefeng paused for a moment before continuing.

"Whether you admit it or not, it doesn't matter."

"I think Konoha today is just like the time of the first Hokage."

"With its strong combat power, the rest of the Ninja Village will not dare to take advantage of Konoha."

"But everyone, who in this world can achieve immortality?"

"Rao was such an outstanding man as the First Hokage, but he died of a terminal illness in the end."

"Then if we push the timeline a little further, if a hundred years later, I won't be here anymore."

"Then other ninja villages that have long-standing grievances against Konoha will start the Fourth Ninja War?"

It must be said that Zefeng's question directly touched the souls of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.

leaving them speechless for a moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is the common disciple of the first Hokage and the second Hokage.

He can be said to be a witness to that era in Hefengkou.

He also once thought that Konoha would usher in true peace as the First Hokage said.

Everyone can be honest and honest with each other.

In order to allow peace to continue, the first Hokage also thought of balancing the strength between the five major ninja villages.

It also divides the tailed beasts.

Through the balance of power, the five major ninja villages will not dare to attack each other because of fear.

But subsequent developments verified the innocence of the first Hokage.

His move to carve up tailed beasts did not receive any positive feedback at all.

In fact, the strength of the tailed beasts is far inferior to that of the shadows in each village.

With the death of the first Hokage.

The first ninja war ensued.

It was also at that time that Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the cruelty of war.

Later, after becoming Hokage, he tried hard to prevent Konoha from being involved in the war.

The result also ended in failure.

The second and third Ninja War cost Konoha a heavy price.

Today's Zephyr is a genius.

He is the youngest Hokage ever.

But so what?

Even the first Hokage, a man called a god, would still suffer from terminal illness.

You'll still die.

This is an experience that everyone cannot avoid.

So……

Will Zefeng's death trigger the Fourth Ninja War?

Looking at the history of the ninja world, there is no such possibility.

On the contrary, it is quite large.

This is also the reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi went to sleep with Koharu, but Mito Kaden suddenly fell into silence.

Maybe after Zephyr, there will be a sixth and seventh generation Hokage.

But who can guarantee that.

The Hokages of later generations will be as smart and courageous as Zephyr, and they will be as strong as monsters.

If you don't consider the legendary Sannin.

Konoha is now the only one qualified to succeed Zephyr's Kage.

It's probably Kakashi and Kiyoshi.

Although they are also very strong, compared with Zephyr, they are completely inferior.

Looking at the reactions of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.

Hefeng knew in his heart that his enthusiasm worked.

"Since the path of our predecessors is unworkable, we can't go on."

"Then we can only break and then build."

"And unifying the ninja world is the way I can think of to truly create peace."

"As the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, I have the responsibility and obligation to bring peace to the world."

"So, I hope everyone can support my decision this time."

"Declare war on the Kingdom of Thunder!"

Hefeng said sonorously and forcefully, his fingers clenched into fists, and he landed heavily on the desk in front of him.

Peng!
