IW: Chapter 127 - You Evil Uchiha, You Have Chosen Death!
"Shikaku, you two go down first. I'll handle things here. I'll find you when I'm done!"
Bai Ye finished speaking and nodded to Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi. He had some secrets he didn't want to expose by handling things here.
Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi exchanged a glance, nodded in agreement, and then prepared to leave without further delay.
These two seemed very off; it was better for them not to get involved.
"Bastard, go to hell!" Tsunade roared, then raised her fist and charged at Bai Ye.
That's right!
Her hemophobia seemed to be gone. She had tested it just now, and that instant feeling of shame directly made her fearless of blood.
She was also surprised that she was treated this way, perhaps because of what Bai Ye had said earlier.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Tsunade did feel that it made a lot of sense. If she could kill others, why couldn't others kill those around her?
Ultimately, this world was sick, and she had indeed been stuck in this knot for a long time. Now she had come out of it, and she knew she shouldn't live in the past.
Wasn't the Ninja World just you killing me and me killing you?
Among those she had killed, there were also friends and family, and others would also feel grief. Perhaps she only felt that deep powerlessness because as a Medical Ninja, she couldn't save those around her.
However, even so, she would not let Bai Ye off. The humiliation this guy had inflicted on her could not be offset by the gratitude for curing her hemophobia.
"So irritable, is curing your hemophobia meant to be used against your own people?"
Bai Ye clapped his hands, and several vines suddenly grew from the floor, immediately wrapping around Tsunade's arms and legs.
This is!?
Tsunade's angry expression instantly froze. She didn't see wrong, did she?
It was Wood Release?
Then Tsunade became even angrier.
This guy claimed that Danzo stole her grandfather's Kekkei Genkai, so wasn't this guy doing the same?
He was also an ambitious person for Wood Release.
"First of all, my Wood Release has nothing to do with your grandfather. I didn't use your grandfather's cells. I can use Wood Release entirely on my own!"
Bai Ye understood Tsunade's gaze, but this was something he had obtained through a lottery, so of course, it had nothing to do with Senju Hashirama.
"Take off your clothes!!"
Facial features!
Tsunade knew this. When she returned, Bai Ye had given TsunadeDanzo's experimental data, which stated that anyone who transplanted Senju Hashirama's cells would exhibit his physical characteristics because his cells were too domineering.
And if Bai Ye didn't have these characteristics, then it could be largely confirmed.
And after seeing that Bai Ye indeed did not have her grandfather's characteristics, she thought of the second thing, which was Yamato's experiment. That Ninja could also use Wood Release.
"You let me go and come with me."
Tsunade looked deeply at Bai Ye. If Bai Ye could use those secret Ninjutsu, she would believe him.
"Okay."
Bai Ye had a premonition that Tsunade was about to give him a gift.
Following Tsunade all the way to the Senju Clan's ancestral home, at a sealed area, Tsunade cut her hand, opened the seal with her blood, and directly pulled out a large scroll from within.
"Inside are my grandfather's secret Ninjutsu regarding Wood Release. If you can use them, it means you didn't transplant anything!"
According to Danzo's previous research report, if Wood Release was obtained through research, it simply couldn't unleash its true power.
However, what they didn't know was that Wood Release itself wasn't strong; its strength lay in the Sage Body and Ashura's reincarnation.
Although he currently didn't have Ashura's Chakra, with the Sage Body, Bai Ye could still unleash the full power of Wood Release.
After Bai Ye took the scroll from Tsunade's hand and opened the secret Ninjutsu inside, his eyes instantly lit up.
Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence, Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, Wood Golem Jutsu, Wood Dragon Jutsu, and various other Ninjutsu were all inside, even the Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands.
Using his Sharingan to copy all of these, Bai Ye then threw the scroll back to Tsunade and began to test the first ability.
Deep Forest Emergence!
Under Tsunade's shocked gaze, a massive forest appeared, followed by the Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, and then the Wood Dragon Jutsu.
If it weren't for the fact that the Senju Clan's ancestral home was now on the very edge of Konoha, this place would likely have been completely destroyed by Bai Ye's greenery.
"Are you from the Senju Clan?"
Tsunade mumbled, looking at Bai Ye in disbelief. She had originally thought that it was impossible for the Senju Clan to have Wood Release again, and after the Senju Clan integrated into Konoha, how many true Senju were left, who could know?
But now, a person from the Uchiha Clan actually possessed Wood Release.
The powers of two formerly opposing forces simultaneously appeared in one person.
No wonder he dared to declare war directly on the other Ninja Villages.
Tsunade seemed to have thought of something and stared intently at Bai Ye, asking, "Did you know you could use Wood Release a long time ago?"
Other than this explanation, Tsunade couldn't think of any other reason.
"That's right, Tsunade, let's make the Senju Clan great again!"
"..."
Damn it!
Hearing this from an Uchiha really made Tsunade feel incredibly speechless.
"Phew, so you've decided to change Uchiha Bai Ye's name to SenjuBai Ye?"
Tsunade looked at Bai Ye with interest. Although she still wanted to punch Bai Ye, Tsunade was very aware of her own strength.
Even without hemophobia, she was still no match for Bai Ye now.
"No, a surname is just a title. What truly represents is will. I want to save this Ninja World with the will of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. This Ninja World is sick, just like I told you before. Your loved ones were killed, his loved ones were also killed. Everyone is killing each other. Have you ever thought about why this is happening?"
Bai Ye's words were very inciting. Even Tsunade had to admit that although she knew this kid was about to spout nonsense, she was still willing to listen carefully.
"Speak."
Tsunade actually really wanted to know.
Back then, when they were Genin, they started killing people. During their Chunin days, they killed countless enemies. When they became the Sannin, they killed countless Ninja in the Land of Rain.
At that time, Tsunade didn't think much about it, but as her loved ones died one by one, Tsunade suddenly realized a problem.
What were they killing for?
Watching her loved ones and comrades die in front of her, she was powerless. At that moment, she chose to leave and no longer be a Ninja.
"Because of the imbalance of the system. Ninja have powerful combat strength, but they are subject to the Daimyō, and the Daimyō are unwilling to see Ninja continue to develop. So, weakening the Ninja Villages becomes necessary. Every time, it's our few Ninja Villages fighting, and a few small Ninja Villages getting beaten. After the fighting, most of our Ninja die, while the Daimyō only need to pay some resources to exchange for stability.
If we can unify the entire Ninja World and eliminate all the Daimyō, then this world will no longer be the same as before. We Ninja are not tools for slaughter; we are also human. Tsunade, saving this world requires everyone to contribute their strength. Whether it's Uchiha, Senju, or Hyuga, as long as this sick world is changed, I think it doesn't matter who does it."
The outbreak of war in the Ninja World was nothing more than resources. And those Daimyō only needed to say there were no resources, or even without them saying it, the Ninja Villages would eventually be unable to bear it and war would break out.
Isn't this just the Daimyō's scheme?
"You're bolder than I thought!"
Tsunade had originally thought that Bai Ye was planning to eliminate the four Ninja Villages, following Uchiha Madara's path.
But she didn't expect that Bai Ye's plan even surpassed Uchiha Madara's!
Back then, Madara only thought of a single Ninja Village plan, and never thought of eliminating the Daimyō.
"Change is a good thing, isn't it? Back then, Madara lost to Hashirama, which meant his plan failed. Hashirama created Ninja Villages, but the wars that eventually broke out were more brutal than those between Ninja clans, which also meant failure. We are now going to take another path, so Tsunade... handing Sunagakure over to you should be no problem, right?"
Around and around, it all came down to asking her to take action.
Tsunade couldn't help but inwardly complain, looking deeply at Bai Ye: "So you were just tricking me back then?"
This guy probably doesn't remember the conditions he gave her to stay in Konoha, right?
He said he would only let her teach Medical Ninja, but now he's asking her to go to the battlefield?
If he dares to send her to the battlefield this time, next time he'll dare to ask her to have children!
"After unifying the Ninja World, you can gamble wherever you want, and I can reimburse you for everything."
"Deal!"
Tsunade licked the corner of her mouth, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes, but the next second she felt something was wrong. How did she feel like she was being given a big pie again?
When she came back, Bai Ye said she could gamble anywhere in the Land of Fire, and they would reimburse her.
Now he's telling her she can gamble anywhere in the whole world, as long as she helps him unify the Ninja World.
Hidden Mist.
After Genmei brought back Bai Ye's words, Mei Terumī frowned, her heart filled with immense anger at this moment.
She had been used by that guy Bai Ye.
She finally knew why Bai Ye was willing to provide them with those cheap goods.
It turned out he wanted to tie Hidden Mist to his war chariot!
Now it was impossible for Hidden Mist to leave Konoha. If they insisted on leaving, they would surely enter a period of severe pain. At that time, Hidden Mist would definitely not be able to recover, and they would also offend four Ninja Villages at once!
Now, it was clear that Hidden Mist had two choices.
The first choice: follow the other three Ninja Villages to take advantage of Konoha's troubles, but they would pay a huge price!
The second choice: follow Konoha to fight the other three Ninja Villages. If they won, there would be no cost, and they would receive assistance from Konoha in all aspects, and only needed to contain Sunagakure, which would establish Hidden Mist's reputation. But if they lost, they would lose everything.
This guy really knew how to create problems for them!
"Genmei, what do you think?"
Mei Terumī rubbed her forehead, looking troubled as she asked Genmei.
At this moment, she truly felt that no matter which choice they made, it wouldn't be good.
"We can only choose Konoha. We've already been kidnapped by them. When Bai Ye came to Hidden Mist, he probably already calculated everything. If we follow the other three Ninja Villages at this time, I'm afraid we'll be in a lot of trouble!"
Genmei had been constantly speculating about Bai Ye's intentions on his way back, and as he thought deeper, he finally realized that they seemed to have been completely outmaneuvered by Bai Ye.
They could only get on Bai Ye's pirate ship.
"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me..."
Yagura's face showed a hint of apology. If he hadn't been controlled, Hidden Mist Village wouldn't be in this situation.
"We'll talk about this later. Since we're choosing Konoha, then we'll depart for Konoha. I need to properly question that guy. Also, since we're helping, he must also help us find out who that Uchiha who controlled you is!!!"
Mei Terumī suppressed the anger in her heart. She had actually just thought that perhaps they had no choice.
She just couldn't swallow this anger.
Very good!
They had been completely calculated.
After they arrived there, she definitely had to properly confront Bai Ye about this!
"So scary, Lady Mizukage..."
"Hmm? Chōjūrō, did you say I can't get married?"
"I didn't... Genmei, save me!"
Chōjūrō looked at Mei Terumī's smiling face, a chill running down his spine. She wasn't really thinking of killing him, was she?
"Then let's fight! We'll go to war with Konoha!"
"Hehe, going to war with three nations? Then let Konoha try it!"
"Konoha, you have chosen death!"
A, Ōnoki, and Rasa, after receiving Konoha's reply of war, also began to prepare. Since Konoha wanted to go to war with their three nations simultaneously, they had no reason to refuse, as this was what they had discussed before.
If Konoha compromised, they would demand benefits. If Konoha didn't compromise, they would fight until Konoha did!
"Bastard!! Who allowed that guy to unilaterally start a war?!"
The Daimyō of the Land of Fire's roaring voice echoed throughout the palace.
At this moment, he wished Bai Ye was in front of him so he could give him two big slaps.
This bastard, without his permission, actually chose to go directly to war?
Who gave him the courage?
"Hehe, if that guy dares to start a war, we'll directly cut off Konoha's supply of materials!"
"That's right, make that guy come over and apologize, and have him talk to the other Kage to stop the war no matter what!"
The ministers discussed animatedly, but their unified goal was to make Bai Ye stop the war and apologize, all without exception condemning Bai Ye.
They believed he was worse as Hokage than Hiruzen Sarutobi, and that an Uchiha truly could not become Hokage!
"Send someone to notify that guy Bai Ye. If he doesn't stop the war, I will cut off all funding to Konoha Village!"
The Daimyō said arrogantly, viewing the funding given to Konoha as his grace. Meanwhile, Asuma, listening nearby, showed a cold smirk on his face. He wanted to see how Bai Ye would solve this problem now!
