The Third Hokage raised an eyebrow slightly, his peripheral vision catching No Chen, feeling exceptionally strange. No Chen's words just now implied knowledge of everything, as if he had once seen Uchiha Madara's Susanoo. "This brat is interesting." Seeing No Chen's indifferent expression, the Third Hokage old man mused inwardly. Although surprised, he wasn't particularly strange, as it would be abnormal for a descendant of the Uchiha clan not to know about an unprecedented figure like Uchiha Madara.
"Old man, you haven't answered my question yet." Noticing the Third Hokage's thoughts drifting, unsure which girl he was thinking about this time, No Chen immediately issued a verbal warning. At the same time, his Susanoo grew even more robust, with a blurry skeletal outline faintly visible. No Chen was utterly furious. *My Susanoo is already pointing at your head, and you old pervert still dare to space out!* "No Chen, even if I were to offer you the position of Hokage, would you accept it?"
The Third Hokage's inexplicable question made No Chen's body suddenly freeze, full of flaws and weaknesses. If not for the heavy defenses of Susanoo, the Third Hokage's sneak attack on No Chen at this moment might truly have been fatal. Looking at the old man in confusion, No Chen didn't even think, his cold voice filled with determination, his tone resolute, leaving no room for negotiation: "Don't even mention a mere Hokage.
Even if you gave me the entire world, it wouldn't move me." The Hokage represented supreme glory and a symbol of strength. As the Kage of a village, each one was an unprecedented powerhouse, highly respected and revered by the world. But for No Chen, fame and fortune were like fleeting clouds. The tedious and painstaking ambition of ruling the world was something he neither possessed nor desired. No Chen's goal was simple and absolute, or rather, his sole objective was to tread on the masses of this world and flaunt his power! In other words, No Chen wanted to become an existence unparalleled in the world! As for being a Kage, whoever wanted to be one could go ahead; No Chen wouldn't care or covet it. "Indeed." A look of realization flashed in the Third Hokage's eyes; he wasn't surprised at all. As the saying goes, the sky is wide for birds to fly. Konoha's stage was simply too small; there was no place to accommodate, nor the ability for, an eagle that wished to soar high. "Do you know what the Will of Fire is?"
With his worries eased, the Third Hokage's gaze suddenly became distant as he spoke to No Chen with deep meaning. "None of my business." Completely ignoring the Third Hokage's earnest gaze, No Chen knew that the Third Hokage wasn't there to cause trouble, so he also dispelled his Susanoo. His crisp and simple answer made the Third Hokage depressed enough to vomit blood. With a bitter smile, the Third Hokage shook his head, secretly cursing himself for asking such a foolish question, bringing it upon himself.
No Chen had already said he had no interest in the Hokage position, so the inheritance of the Will of Fire naturally had nothing to do with him. However, this also made the Third Hokage old man secretly worried. No Chen's words undoubtedly indicated that he would not choose to stay in Konoha, nor would he be loyal to Konoha. As soon as life in Konoha became uninteresting to No Chen, he would leave without hesitation, and it was even possible that he would directly attack Konoha. "It seems I'm truly getting senile..." Changing his thoughts, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his cracked lips.
The Third Hokage suddenly felt that his thinking had moved on. Konoha was currently being attacked by the Four Great Ninja Villages. Whether Konoha Village would even exist in the future of the ninja world was still a question. He decided to worry about future matters later. "The situation on the front lines is worrying, with signs of collapse at any moment. Facing the siege of the Four Great Ninja Villages, even if Konoha is the First Ninja Village, its current situation is like walking on thin ice. One slight misstep, and it will be doomed forever." The Third Hokage spoke in a deep voice, his mood exceptionally heavy.
This was not alarmist talk; in fact, Konoha's situation was much worse than he described. Konoha's strength was undeniable, but facing the attacks of the four nations, its situation was already precarious. When the war broke out, the outcome of the war was essentially already decided. Konoha would definitely suffer a complete and utter defeat! "Old man, let's be frank. Even if the front line suffers a crushing defeat, you still have a strategy to preserve Konoha." Ignoring the Third Hokage's complaints, No Chen secretly sighed that the Third Hokage was as cunning as a fox. Not to mention Konoha still clinging to life, even if the ninjas of the other four nations really reached Konoha Village's gates, the Third Hokage would not be afraid. The First Hokage had left too many trump cards for Konoha. Aside from the strongest Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails, Konoha Village also preserved the bodies of countless strong individuals to this day, including the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju. "What do you mean by that, No Chen?"
The Third Hokage was completely bewildered, looking at No Chen with confusion. This time, he genuinely didn't understand No Chen's meaning. "Old fox!" Cursing silently, No Chen chose to remain silent. Konoha's Forbidden Jutsu, "Reanimation Jutsu," was specifically created for these deceased individuals. As long as Konoha faced an unfavorable situation, or the possibility of destruction, it could revive past powerhouses, such as Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju. The First and Second Hokages, as the founders of Konoha, would naturally choose to help Konoha without hesitation. Therefore, even if Konoha were truly defeated, no one could hope to destroy Konoha, unless they possessed the strength to crush Hashirama Senju after his Reanimation! "Human nature is truly an unfathomable thing..." No Chen murmured to himself, his tone filled with endless emotion. Although the Third Hokage held a disdainful attitude towards the Reanimation Jutsu, if Konoha truly faced the danger of destruction, that old man would definitely abandon his principles and revive the
