Chapter 164
Seeing Shen Yue rushing towards him fiercely, Tobirama was quick-witted and quickly reached out to pinch her neck and caught her in his arms.
Tobirama was actually very good at taking care of children and small animals. These characteristics of a warm man were all given by his unreliable elder brother.
After stuffing Shen Yue into his arms, he seemed to be comforting an uneasy kitten, and skillfully stroked Shen Yue's fur. After a few strokes, she unconsciously relaxed.
Tobirama's arms were cold, and it was quite comfortable to be held by him in the hot summer. Shen Yue yawned instinctively, rested her head softly on Tobirama's chest, slowly squinted her eyes, and almost fell asleep.
This guy, he really has no vigilance at all!
Looking at Shen Yue who fell asleep in his arms, Tobirama sighed heavily, his heart was full of helplessness, but the movements of his hands were unusually gentle.
The little girl was like a peaceful butterfly pupa, curled up in his arms at ease, her soft body smelled good. It's really healing to hold her in his arms like this, no wonder those two unreliable guys like Madara and Hashirama like to hold her like this.
However, Tobirama, who adheres to the strict education philosophy, will not spoil Shenyue like Madara and Hashirama. Seeing that the time for the speech is approaching, he ruthlessly picked up Shenyue, who was pretending to be asleep, from his arms and pushed her to the podium without mercy.
"The time is up, you go on stage."
"Do you really want me to speak? Senju Tobirama, are you sick?"
Shenyue hugged Tobirama's arm with her backhand. No matter how Tobirama pushed and pulled, she held it tightly and refused to let go. She really didn't think Tobirama would ask her to give a speech. Just a glance at the dense crowd below the stage scared her legs and made her dumbfounded.
How could she know what to say to all these people? Couldn't Naruto do such a difficult thing as talking?
Tobirama didn't care about that. He saw the right moment and simply ran to the podium with Shenyue in his arms. Then he used Flying Thunder God to teleport away and disappeared instantly. So, Shenyue was the only one left on the podium for the speech.
Shenyue stared blankly below, with a blank face. The stage was bustling with familiar and unfamiliar faces - Hashirama and Madara, Taohua Huohe, classmates from the ninja school, members of the Uchiha and Senju families, members of the major ninja clans, and villagers who had a rare vacation.
In this era when entertainment methods are not abundant, listening to the speeches of high-level officials is also a rare pleasure for many villagers to pass the time and get information.
"Huh, is that Lord Shenyue?"
Looking at Shenyue who suddenly appeared on the podium, the onlookers were confused. In their impression, this speech was all organized by Tobirama. Logically, it should be him who gave the speech.
"Where is Lord Tobirama?"
Originally, because of that bad drama, Madara and Hashirama, who didn't want to be here at all, were completely dragged here by Tobirama. Seeing that Shenyue suddenly appeared on the stage, both of them were shocked. After looking at each other, Hashirama couldn't help but guess:
"Could it be Shenyue who is going to speak?"
"Um, hehe, good morning..."
Looking at the crowd below the stage, Shenyue smiled awkwardly, his mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to say at all.
"Uh, that, I, I..."
At this moment, Shenyue, who was stiff all over, had ten thousand dirty words in his heart to insult the damn Senju Tobirama-
Senju Tobirama, I fuck you @&%... (About ten thousand dirty words)
Seeing that it was really Shenyue who was going to give a speech, the onlookers couldn't help but talk about it, but in fact they didn't have any aversion to it.
After all, this is the ninja world where children as young as four or five have to go to the battlefield. Uchiha Shenyue's precocity and uniqueness are well known to everyone. They are just simply curious about what she will say.
"Come on, Shenyue!"
"Come on, don't be nervous!"
In the audience, Miki, Inari, Chinatsu and Huo Hetianhua stood up one after another and cheered for Shenyue loudly. The ninja school classmates and Uchiha cubs beside them all joined in and applauded loudly for the nervous Shenyue. Hashirama also applauded, and all the Uchiha clansmen stood up.
Under their leadership, more and more people began to cheer for Shenyue, and the atmosphere on the scene became heated.
"I, I am here to explain why Konoha needs laws... uh, before talking about this issue, please think about a question first, that is, why we gathered together to build a village."
Seeing so many people cheering for her, and looking at Madara who nodded and cheered for her, Shenyue took a deep breath and squeezed out some words from her teeth with difficulty.
Konoha was suddenly asked by Shen YueEveryone looked at each other and gradually quieted down.
Speaking of why Konoha was established, this seems to be a simple question that does not need to be thought about at all, but when it is really raised, most people have no idea. The only ones who really know the answer may be the two founders, Hashirama and Madara, and those close to them.
People who have been thinking for a long time and still can't come up with an answer naturally focus their attention on Shenyue on the stage, hoping that she can continue.
"If you want to say why Konoha was established, it's actually just because we get together to survive better, that's all."
"The law is the same. The reason why Konoha promotes the law is to make us live better..."
Ahhh, what am I talking about?
Shenyue became more and more embarrassed and nervous, and cursed Senju Tobirama more fiercely in her heart, but the people in the audience straightened their backs. Shenyue's words made them feel novel, and even a sense of enlightenment.
"Life and survival, this topic should be strange to talk about, right? Because we ninjas have always valued death over life."
"....."
Kamizuki's words brought about a long silence, but this was not indifferent silence, but deep thinking.
Hashirama, Madara, and Tobirama who quietly mixed into the crowd all showed frowning and thoughtful expressions. The ninjas were also reflecting, and even the civilians who were not ninjas were thinking.
Although Kamzuki's words were unpleasant to hear, they were absolutely true.
While ninjas despised the lives of others, they also did not take their own lives seriously. However, today, this has long been a tacit understanding and taken for granted.
"But isn't this very strange? Why is death an honor to be boasted, but living is a shame?"
"Only by living can one taste dessert and hug one's family, right?"
The audience in the audience were all shocked. Now, Uchiha Shenyue actually questioned this self-evident thing!
There was no way. What was commonplace for ninjas was not commonplace for Shenyue. Who said she was a complete alien?
"In order to die with honor, we must die without regret, without scruples, and without hesitation, even children of four or five years old must do so."
Shen Yue's voice suddenly stagnated, she tilted her head slightly in confusion, and asked in a confused tone:
"Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"Can a child of four or five years old really understand what is the glory of death? If there are really people here who think so, then I tell you, the reason why children go to the battlefield to die in vain is just because we are obediently listening to adults and just want to make adults happy."
The answer from the young girl's mouth, like a sharp needle tip, deeply pierced into the hearts of countless people.
Many ninjas who had sent their own children to the battlefield in the Warring States Period and had to deal with countless other people's children, suddenly turned pale at this moment. The so-called killing is the best.
"I have been thinking about a question for a long time. We are ninjas. We are the ones who hold power. The strongest among us can fight against ten thousand people alone, and we are so powerful that we seem to be omnipotent."
At this point, Shen Yue glanced at Hashirama and Madara under the stage. The two smiled back, and the people around them also looked at the two strongest ninjas, and a sense of pride arose in their hearts.
Yes, for thousands of years, the ninja community has always represented unparalleled power. Especially Uchiha and Senju, if you want to defeat one of them, you can only hire the other ninja to fight. This is the bloody iron law forged by countless bloody battles in the Warring States period.
"But why, such a powerful us have become cannon fodder on the battlefield and tools to complete the task?"
"Are the daimyo and nobles really so powerful and cunning that they can manipulate us like this?"
At this point, Shen Yue couldn't help but sneer with contempt. The experience of these three years has made her see through the true face of these nobles. Although the ninjas may not be fully responsible for being controlled by such nobles for a thousand years, they are also to blame. They should bear at least 60% to 70% of the responsibility.
The audience fell into silence again. They were obviously strong, but they were controlled by weak people for a whole thousand years. If this is not a shame, then what else in the world can be called a shame?
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally I can only come to this conclusion: The reason why ninjas have fallen into such a situation is because we are weak and lazy, and we are really bad!"
Shen Yue shouted hard on the stage. Her voice was sweet and soft, which complemented her petite and cute appearance.The scene should have been like a scene of coquetry, but the people present all held their breath, deeply feeling the shame and embarrassment from the bottom of their hearts.
"Because of weakness, we are willing to accept all arrangements and dare not challenge authority; because of laziness, we are unwilling to change the unfair status quo, always hoping that heroes or saviors will bear all the hardships, but forget that ninjas are supermen who have the ability to change the world."
"I have heard people say that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. It is time for powerful ninjas to shoulder the responsibility for the ninja world and put the ninja world on the right track! Isn't Konoha the best proof?"
Shen Yue stated loudly, using simple and easy-to-understand words as much as possible. As the people in the audience listened, a sense of power and hope rose in their hearts. More and more people were touched by her words and cheered.
