"You know?" Hanaku's pupils suddenly constricted.
He had spent over twenty years at the Daimyo's mansion and had tried to investigate what the Daimyo's mansion's trump card truly was. Not only him, but even his uncle, Tobirama, had investigated related secrets back then.
Hanaku understood Tobirama. He knew that if there was an opportunity, his uncle would absolutely not mind eliminating the Daimyo and letting Konoha take charge. It was only later, after discovering that the Daimyo seemed to possess some extraordinary trump card, that even Tobirama ultimately chose to cease his activities.
"That's not a big deal. While others may not know the Daimyo's legacy, some beings do. You should know that in the Ninja World, there are some beings who have lived for an unknown number of years." Kazuki hinted.
"In fact, I had already guessed most of it before."
"Their trump card is very dangerous. Even you might be in danger," Hanaku couldn't help but warn.
"I went to see the place where that golden light struck the Uchiha ninja. To be honest, the destruction to the terrain there, even after a hundred years, is still vivid. This destructive power is no less, and even surpasses, the destruction caused by my father and Madara's battle back then. I suspect there is a force behind them, a force far stronger than the ninjas we have seen."
As he spoke, Hanaku's voice was filled with uncertainty.
Who was he? The son of Hashirama.
His father, Hashirama, was considered the God of Ninja. His mother, Mito, was the most outstanding successor of the Uzumaki Clan in the past century, possessing the power of the Nine-Tails. After Hashirama's death, Mito became the recognized strongest person in the Ninja World in the hearts of countless people.
This was the immense prestige Mito had earned during the First Great Ninja War. Whether in one-on-one combat or against multiple opponents, Mito was incredibly powerful.
"I know that. It has something to do with the birth of ninjas. If you really calculate it, it might actually surpass the First Hokage back then."
Kazuki didn't know whether Toneri or Hashirama was stronger. Comparatively, he favored Toneri a bit more. After all, that was the Tenseigan. As for Hashirama, while he was very powerful, he didn't seem to have reached that level yet.
Toneri, who awakened the Tenseigan, should theoretically be on the same level as Sasuke, who awakened the six tomoe Rinnegan. Although Hashirama was very strong, he was still a little short.
"Is that so?"
Hanaku wanted to say, "How well do you know my father's true strength?"
Even though Hashirama had been dead for many years, in Hanaku's heart, Hashirama still existed like a god.
"Hmm, I do have some understanding of this power. So you don't need to worry. If the Daimyo goes too far, I can intervene. Their backers won't be able to protect them." Kazuki's eyes deepened and became eager as he spoke.
The Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon should still be preserved. He just didn't know what their strength was, whether they were stronger or he was stronger.
"It seems you are truly confidentm" Hanaku looked deeply at Kazuki.
"However, since mother is willing to trust you, then I am also willing to trust you. I just hope that before you act, you will think deeply. Once the Daimyo is gone, the various countries will fall into chaos. At that time, countless common people will suffer."
"I understand. It's not the time yet, and we also need time to prepare." Kazuki crossed his arms.
The current Daimyo hadn't provoked him, so why would he bother them for no reason?
As for killing them, that would have to wait until he became Hokage. There were still at least a few years until then.
"Hmm."
Hanaku carefully observed Kazuki for a while. He found that Kazuki seemed very similar to Madara, but also very similar to his uncle.
A combination of Madara and Tobirama?
Perhaps this was for the best.
...
Hanaku came quickly and left quickly. As the Daimyo's right-hand man, he was quite important to the Daimyo and usually couldn't leave the Daimyo's mansion.
This time, he came to Konoha not only to visit Mito but also to deliver money to Konoha.
There was nothing he could do. With the ongoing war, Konoha's finances had more or less encountered some problems. At this time, Hiruzen naturally needed to request supplies from the Daimyo.
During this period, Hiruzen even talked about how incredibly powerful Kazuki was, specifically describing how he single-handedly eliminated tens of thousands of people from Kirigakure, and also revealed that Kazuki had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
According to Hiruzen, Kazuki now possessed the strongest power in the Ninja World, and with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could go anywhere he wanted.
No one could stop Kazuki. With Kazuki, Konoha would still be the strongest village in the Ninja World, so the Daimyo should quickly send more supplies to Konoha.
You wouldn't want Konoha to lose the war due to insufficient supplies, would you!?
Hiruzen's statement had actually received Kazuki's approval. Kazuki naturally wouldn't refuse it. Others needed to be wary of the Daimyo's attitude towards them, but he didn't care. His ascension to the Hokage position was inherently legitimate.
Even Hiruzen and Koharu were now building momentum for him, and Mito was also introducing him to the direct descendants of the Senju Clan.
An Uchiha who was not acknowledged by most of the Uchiha clan, and one who had been raised by the Senju clan since childhood, could gain the recognition of the Senju clan and even the Hokage faction. Moreover, Kazuki's strength was already sufficient, and there was no Hashirama to restrain him.
There was no problem in intimidating the Daimyo, at least Kazuki felt that the Daimyo needed to be intimidated.
Sure enough, after learning about Kazuki, the Daimyo panicked.
He could naturally see that Hiruzen was threatening him, but what could he do?
