Chapter 189: A Great Man or a Sinner
"However… I refuse!"
"Nani?"
Kurama Jinxin widened his eyes in shock. He had originally thought that Li Jiexuan was simply young and ignorant, unaware of what becoming the young clan leader of the Kurama clan could bring him. But he never expected that even after understanding the weight behind the words "young clan leader," Li Jiexuan would still refuse him so decisively…
Shaking off the completely stunned Kurama Jinxin, Li Jiexuan curled his lips in disdain. Joining a clan might seem wonderful. But while enjoying its benefits, one would inevitably be bound by the clan itself.
After Li Jiexuan had walked far away, Kurama Jinxin muttered to himself in disbelief, "I never thought there would actually be someone in this world who doesn't like glory and wealth…"
"But if that's the case, then how did the Lord Hokage…" Kurama Jinxin pondered for a long time before suddenly slapping his thigh. "I see! Now I understand everything. Even heroes can't pass the beauty test!"
At that moment, it seemed Kurama Jinxin had realized something…
Meanwhile, Tsunade, who was attending class at the Ninja Academy, suddenly sneezed. She felt a chilly sensation, as if someone had set their sights on something important that belonged to her. However, whatever Kurama Jinxin intended to do, Li Jiexuan knew nothing about it, because he had already set out on the road toward the border of the Sand Ninja territory…
Main Quest: Break Through the Defense of Sunagakure.
Mission Content: Since Sunagakure dared to take the initiative in starting a war, how could they be let off so easily? Their defenses must be broken, and they must pay a heavy price!
Mission Reward: Super-Kage-Level Treasure Chest, Mastery of Puppet Manipulation.
After many days, Li Jiexuan finally saw another mission that directly rewarded a ninjutsu. The last time had been the escape mission when he first arrived in the Naruto world. Besides that, the Super-Kage-Level treasure chest made Li Jiexuan's eyes light up involuntarily…
It had been upgraded again!
A Super-Kage-Level treasure chest—just hearing the name made it irresistible. He could hardly wait to get one and see what kind of good stuff was hidden inside. Unfortunately, Tobirama Senju had already given up on continuing the war…
The reason the chūnin and genin at the front lines hadn't returned yet was merely to pressure Sunagakure into paying war reparations. But even if he was alone, he would still kick open the gates of Sunagakure himself!
Walking out of the gates of Konoha alone, Li Jiexuan suddenly froze. "Why are you two here…"
Might Guy, Hyuga Yizhen!
"Captain, I already sold my life to you long ago. This time you can't leave me behind!" Hyuga Yizhen carried a travel pack on his back, clearly already prepared.
"Little Jiexuan, when burning with the passion of youth, you can't forget me!" Might Guy grinned broadly while doing a handstand. "It's been a long time since we competed. Want to give it a try?"
"You two guys…"
Yes, even if Tobirama Senju didn't support him, there were still two people willing to believe in him. That feeling of being trusted by others… was truly wonderful.
Li Jiexuan didn't stand on ceremony. He nodded and burst into laughter. "In that case, let's go make a huge scene together!"
After Li Jiexuan and the others gradually disappeared, beside the gates of Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked to the side in confusion. "Teacher, are you really just going to let him do whatever he wants? If this continues, he'll start an even bigger war!"
"Hmm…" Tobirama Senju, who had watched everything, pondered for a long time before shaking his head and sighing. "His ambition is far greater than we imagined. For now, let him try."
"Let him try?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely surprised. This was the first time he had seen Tobirama Senju show such indulgence toward someone.
"Hiruzen, when a person's vision is no longer limited to becoming Hokage, then what kind of existence will such a person eventually become?" Tobirama Senju gazed into the distance. There seemed to be a black-and-red silhouette there, grinning at him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his chin and thought for a while before answering seriously:
"An unprecedented great man… or a sinner whose crimes will leave countless lives devastated."
