No Chen's words were like a boulder thrown into calm water, stirring up massive ripples. "A brat is a brat. When you speak, you're so ignorant. Having some strength makes you reckless. Do you even know what war is?
I can tell you responsibly, war is not a game." Although No Chen's previous words had a shocking effect, they quickly drew fierce backlash. What left No Chen most speechless was that the first to openly refute him and launch a verbal assault was Tsunade Senju, who had been silent until now! "Damn you, old hag! You'll only understand whether I'm a brat when I knock you down!" Thousands of mythical "Grass Mud Horses" stampeded through his mind. No Chen was fuming, glaring darkly at Tsunade Senju.
*I don't understand what war is? Do you, then?!* *A native of the two-dimensional world actually despises me, a transcendent from the three-dimensional world? How preposterous! Damn it, who gave you, a native, the confidence to look down on me?!* Sweeping a light glance at Tsunade Senju, No Chen looked directly at the Third Hokage and said in a deep voice: "War is a continuation of politics, and politics is inseparable from economic interests. Of course, this also includes geopolitics. The geography of Konoha and Sunagakure dictates that they are destined to be mortal enemies until one perishes..."
"Ultimately, the essence of war is plunder and being plundered. War is an indispensable part of human development history, a clash between interest groups..." "Konoha, as the most prosperous ninja village on the continent, has Sunagakure as its neighbor, which is dirt poor, with harsh climate, and inferior to Konoha in every aspect.
Naturally, it yearns for Konoha." No Chen spoke eloquently, his pupils exceptionally deep and far-reaching, like a great sage, speaking fluently and demonstrating vast knowledge. He indifferently observed the confused Tsunade Senju, seeing her bewildered expression and distracted thoughts. No Chen felt a surge of triumph and joy in his heart. If he hadn't skipped classes and failed to diligently study Sun Tzu's Art of War back then, he would surely let them know how vast and profound the culture of his great Heavenly Dynasty was.
*Damn natives!* Before No Chen could gloat for long, Tsunade's words made him want to vomit blood. "Sounds very impressive, but... I didn't understand a single word!" After a moment of blankness, Tsunade Senju looked earnestly at No Chen, who was spitting words everywhere. Her beautiful eyes were as calm as autumn water, without any hint of intentionally messing with No Chen. Upon hearing this, No Chen subconsciously looked at Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the Third Hokage.
Seeing that all three had equally puzzled expressions, he immediately turned to stone. *Even if you don't understand, don't say it out loud! It hurts my pride and morale! They don't understand basic social etiquette at all!* "No Chen, why is it that a few simple words, when spoken by you, become incomprehensible to me?!" The Third Hokage's old face was full of exasperation. Seeing No Chen, who was on the verge of breaking down, he couldn't help but add fuel to the fire! *I won't bother with you uncultured lot.*
Regathering his thoughts, No Chen said rationally: "Sunagakure is fully attacking the Land of Fire, having mobilized almost eighty percent of its ninjas within the village. Its interior must be extremely vulnerable. If we take this opportunity to attack Sunagakure..." At this point, No Chen's voice trailed off. If they still couldn't understand what he meant, then the Third Hokage had gone senile.
"I approve of this proposal!" Jiraiya was the first to pound the table and decide. This was clearly a good opportunity to undermine Orochimaru's show-off, and he naturally couldn't let it pass! "Indeed, it's quite good." The Third Hokage and Orochimaru's eyes instantly lit up. Clearly, No Chen's proposal greatly tempted them. It was truly a word that awakened them from their stupor. At present, the remaining ninjas in Sunagakure were either young children or elderly, frail, and sick individuals, with pitifully weak combat capabilities. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"After successfully ambushing Sunagakure, their military morale will inevitably be disrupted. If we press the attack, we can surely break their relentless advance and defeat Sunagakure in one fell swoop." When a person has emotional ties, it means that person has many weaknesses. Although ninjas from all villages are ruthless killers, no matter when, facing their families in the rear, it's impossible not to worry.
Not everyone in the world can be as utterly ruthless as No Chen. Although the method was utterly despicable, so what? The victor is king, the defeated is a bandit; history is written by the victors. Even if despicable, it would be praised as ingenious by later generations. Most importantly, the ninja world itself has no such concept as "despicable," nor any gentleman's agreement. "Shameless schemer!" Tsunade Senju looked at No Chen with disdain, speaking with great contempt. Her thin lips were tightly pursed, even tinged with hatred. Although well-hidden, everyone still heard it.
To some extent, it was precisely because her younger brother, Nawaki Senju, also died due to a conspiracy that Tsunade Senju detested those who engaged in scheming. "Conspiracy?" Upon hearing this, No Chen's lips curved into a sneer, and his exceptionally cold and harsh voice echoed throughout the Hokage's office. "You hate those who scheme because your brother died in a conspiracy... Tsunade Senju, you are truly ignorant..." "Oh no!" Orochimaru saw Tsunade Senju's face instantly fall and secretly cried out in alarm. Nawaki Senju's death had always been something she couldn't let go of, leaving a lasting shadow in her heart. This had always been a taboo for Tsunade Senju; no one dared to bring it up. Now that No Chen had brought it up so directly, Tsunade was bound to explode! "Die, you damn brat!" Indeed, Tsunade Senju instantly leaped out, launching herself forward. Her fair, slender wrist was exposed, and her jade-like hand clenched into a fist, striking towards No Chen. "Stupid woman... Susanoo!"
