Naruto: Falling from the sky into Hashirama's arms

Hashirama Senju's eyes widened in shock, not at the idea itself, but at the fact that it was Lin Sang who uttered those words.

Mito Uzumaki was alright, since this wasn't something she could interfere with, especially since it was in Konoha City.

However, he also considered his fellow villager's idea and concluded that, at present, choosing to unify the ninja world at this time was more likely to succeed than later.

They have the protection of two great figures, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Moreover, doing this later will face greater resistance, as everyone is still in the early stages and mutual impressions and class distinctions have not yet solidified.

Uchiha Izuna's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Now Konoha has Hashirama, the strongest ninja, Madara, the combined strength of the Senju and Uchiha clans, and the support of other ninja clans. Its strength far surpasses that of the other four countries."

"Instead of waiting for them to recuperate and unite to deal with Konoha, it's better to strike first and solve the problem once and for all."

He paused, then looked at Hashirama. "You're not still thinking of using the alliance to maintain peace, are you?"

"Besides, haven't the five great nations been embroiled in countless open and covert struggles over the years? Last time, Sunagakure secretly swapped border supplies and trained ninjas with bloodline limits. Do you really think they could keep these things hidden?"

Hashirama Senju: "..."

No, he hasn't even said anything yet.

Hashirama felt wronged and was speechless.

Before he could say anything, the people opposite him launched into a barrage of questions.

More importantly, what Izuna said was true, so how could he interrupt?

But isn't the idea of ​​"eliminating the other four countries" a bit too radical?

Hashirama Senju felt his forehead sweating profusely.

And Lin Sang...

He still remembered how Yuki used to grumble about tearing a butterfly's wings to shreds while catching it in the yard. How could he possibly say something like that?

Hashirama Senju's pupils trembled.

Just then, the door to the conference room was gently pushed open, and Lin Sang's voice, tinged with amusement, came through: "What are you talking about?"

Everyone turned their heads in unison and saw Lin Sang standing at the door with Xing Shu in her hand.

Yuki was still clutching half a piece of dried fish that he hadn't finished eating, with crumbs stuck to the corner of his mouth.

Lin Sang was wearing a loose kimono, with a gentle smile on her face as if she had just returned from outside, and clear eyes.

This image of Hashirama Senju is so different from the radical Izuna described who "wanted to overthrow the Five Great Nations."

Hashirama's expression was somewhat blank, especially after Lin-san arrived. Yamamae subconsciously took Lin-san's hand, her tone somewhat bewildered:

"Lin-san! Izuna said you want Konoha to unify the ninja world and eliminate the other four great nations, is that true?"

Lin Sang was stunned for a moment, then saw Izuna wink at him, and instantly understood.

Last time I was drinking and chatting with Izuna, I just casually mentioned "the five great nations," but I didn't expect them to take it seriously. And it seems they are still discussing the feasibility of this matter carefully.

Looking at the obviously incredulous face in the middle, Lin Sang couldn't help but laugh.

Suppressing a laugh, she deliberately put on a serious face, reached out and ruffled Yuki's hair, and slowly said, "Oh, about that? I did mention it."

Hashirama stammered, "R-really?"

"Hahaha, I do have that idea..."

Lin Sang changed the subject, walked to the conference table, sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

"However, I didn't expect this plan to be implemented. Taking too big a step would easily lead to problems."

"After careful consideration, I think it's better to wait until Konoha's medical, economic, and ninjutsu systems are completely ahead of other countries, and until everyone understands that 'unification' is not about conquest, but about sharing peace, before slowly pushing forward."

He looked at Izuna, who raised an eyebrow and went along with the conversation, saying, "Infrastructure construction can be carried out, and war preparations can be conducted simultaneously. As long as the direction is right, it will succeed sooner or later."

"No."

It was Hashirama who spoke.
