I established Kua Kua Cult in Naruto.

Chapter 544 There are always some questions that cannot be answered until they are actually faced.
Hearing Tatsuma casually betting the lives of more than 1000 people, even Ohnoki, who had experienced the Warring States Period and the Ninja Village era, couldn't help but tremble.

This time it was not a tremor of anger, but purely out of fear. In a war that lasted for several years, especially a war at the level of the Ninja World War, the lives of more than 1000 people were actually not that many.

Even Ohnoki could accept ten times the data, but the premise is that these people died for the sake of the war, fighting for the advantages and benefits of Iwagakure Village in countless battles at different times.

Their deaths, in exchange for the development of Ninja Village, deserved their death, instead of becoming materials such as detonating charms and soldiers' food pills in a battle. They can be sacrificed as long as they are said to be sacrificed.

Even these people are not even as good as a detonating charm or a soldier pellet now, because a detonating charm may kill an enemy, and a soldier pellet can restore a ninja's combat power.

But what about these people?Even before it has played its role, it is like a raw egg, being lifted high by Tatsuma. Whether it will fall to the ground depends on whether Tatsuma wants to do so.

Unable to hold back his chattering teeth, Onoki forced his voice out of his throat and said: "Betting? If it is conditional on me winning or losing, then if I don't bet, I will just admit defeat!"

As long as these people can survive, if you want this victory, go for it! "

It's not like Tatsuma has never played against others in such a bet. For example, the Third Raikage Ai, the two of them each used a move to mediate a battle.

Ohnoki thinks about it, and Tatsuma's purpose this time is the same, because Tatsuma has now reached a critical point. If he can defeat Ohnoki, no matter what method he uses, Tatsuma will have succeeded in "stamp collecting".

In this way, when he succeeds as Hokage, he can be said to be the leader of the Five Shadows, and the Hidden Leaf Village he leads can also be called the number one ninja village.

If that's the case, Onoki doesn't mind giving up the victory, because he may not be Tatsuma's opponent.

Youth is not a disadvantage for Tatsuma, but a real advantage. This young man's combat experience is no less than that of an old man who has been active in the ninja world for decades.

Minato may lack experience in real tough battles, but Tatsuma does. Kazekage, Raikage, Mizukage, and the tailed beasts of each village all gave Tatsuma enough opportunities to gain experience.

In terms of experience in critical battles, Ohnoki may not even be as rich as Tatsuma now, and apart from experience, Ohnoki is not as good as Tatsuma in terms of other skills and abilities.

The Dust Release that he was so proud of would not be of much use against a Flying Thunder God ninja like Tatsuma.

Therefore, Ohnoki did not mind giving the victory directly to Tatsuma in a game that was already unwinnable. In this way, Ohnoki could recover the losses to the greatest extent.

He was not defeated, but only compromised for the sake of the village. He could even use this defeat to withdraw his troops within the range that public opinion allowed. On the one hand, he could preserve his strength, and on the other hand, he could deal with the hidden dangers on the east coast. danger.

Ohnoki made the most advantageous decision in just a moment, of course if Tatsuma's gamble went as he expected.

Tatsuma looked at Onoki, watching the Dust Release Ninjutsu in his hand dissipate, and even slightly spread his hands to express his unwillingness to fight, and said with a smile: "You are indeed a Tsuchikage, your heart of fists, even if I am the opponent I also feel it.

Your awareness is rare in my life. If it weren't for a different stance, I would even regard you as an idol. Facing an opponent like you, using the life of the Iwa ninja as a threat, the victory obtained in exchange is something that even I would despise. "

Ohnoki's heart skipped a beat. Although Tatsuma said something nice, the truth was that this boy avoided the sugar-coated bullets he gave.

Things suddenly became out of control again. Ohnoki clenched his fists unconsciously, and the wetness on his palms was something he had not seen in many years.

Coupled with the coldness and numbness of his fingertips, this was a feeling he had only experienced when he was just an adolescent child more than 30 years ago.

"then you."

Onoki opened his mouth, his voice distorted and harsh, and the tearing of his vocal cords also made it difficult for him to speak. He paused and swallowed before continuing:
"Then what do you want?"

The voice was still a little different from before, but at least he could hear it clearly. Tatsuma turned his head and looked at the Iwa ninja who were forced to the edge of the tree boundary by the much smaller number of Konoha ninja than himself, and said:
"Lord Tsuchikage, let me confirm again, are you willing to participate in the bet?"

"As long as it can save Iwa Ninja's life, even if I have to sacrifice my life!"

"Okay! Lord Tsuchikage, do you think the current ninja hierarchy in the ninja world is reasonable?"

This lackluster question made Onoki frown. He couldn't figure out what Tatsuma meant. After thinking for a long time, he still said: "It's natural and reasonable. Doesn't Konoha also use today's hierarchy?"

Standard Tai Chi, if Tatsuma approves, then "everyone is happy". If Tatsuma dares to object, he is also opposing his seniors and colleagues in the Ninja Village.

Onoki was already proficient in such words. Tatsuma raised his eyebrows, but did not respond to Onoki's answer, but continued to ask:

"So, Lord Tsuchikage, may I ask whether there are different levels of life rights among jounin, special jounin, chuunin and genin?"

Ohnoki's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague premonition of something. He gritted his teeth again, stabilized his dwindling focus and attention, and denied: "Not all ninjas are equal."

"What about the blood successor limit ninja and the non-blood successor limit ninja?"

"The same is true."

Tatsuma nodded with satisfaction and said, "As expected of you, Lord Tsuchikage, your ideological consciousness has surpassed that of most people in the ninja world."

"what do you want to say in the end!"

Ohnoki looked at Tatsuma with his hands clasped together in shock and anger, and then turned into the Si seal. Tatsuma did not answer immediately.

"Teng Teng Teng ~"

There was movement in the tree world. The big trees grew taller again, and on each tree, there was a ninja hanging. It was easy to tell from the uniforms that most of these people were jounin and special jounin.

The few who don't wear uniforms are all Iwa ninjas who have demonstrated the ability of blood successors.

Tatsuma put down his hand and said: "The gamble is here, Lord Tsuchikage, please listen." Not only was Onoki's attention drawn back, but also the surrounding Iwa ninja who were not restrained by the wood escape, and the surrounding Iwa ninja. The Konoha ninjas also focused their attention on Tatsuma.

Tsunade lightly bumped the two people on the left and right with her shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "What does that kid want to do?"

Jiraiya shook his head, saying that he didn't know, but Minato on the other side of him, and Orochimaru on the other side of Tsunade, both had extremely exciting expressions on their faces.

They all remembered some of the interesting things Tatsuma had said during some chats, such as his fictional trolley problem.

Suppose there is a tram that needs to run on a track. When it comes to a bifurcated road, there are five people lying on one side of the track and one person lying on the other side of the track. The tram cannot stop, but there is a lever to change direction.

Let’s ask what decision a driver should make in this situation.

Minato's face was extremely solemn at this time, even a little heavy, because he couldn't give an answer at that time, and even now, he still can't give an answer.

Because the question itself was against human ethics, there was no optimal solution to this question, and it was contrary to Minato's philosophy of being a human being, so he refused to answer it at the time.

However, Tatsuma raised another problem, that is, if there are three of his disciples on one side and more Konoha companions on the other, and his Flying Thunder God rushes back and forth to save both sides before his Flying Thunder God has time, how will he choose?
Minato still didn't answer at that time, but there was actually a voice in his heart, that is, he would save more people. This voice startled him.

As for Orochimaru, he looked very interested at this time. Unlike Minato, he gave the answer.

His choice is to leave one person behind, because if five people are alive, then they will share and shirk the guilt, and will not be grateful to the driver.

If you only save one person, the survivor will bear the guilt of killing five people and be grateful to the driver. The driver can also use "I gave up five people to save you" as a way to get rid of the guilt. excuse.

And use this as a threat to ask the survivor to pay more to repay the driver who saved him. This is Orochimaru's optimal solution.

Just when Onoki was getting a little impatient, Tatsuma finally revealed his bet.

"Lord Tsuchikage, I bet you that you will not trade the lives of thousands of chunin and genin for the lives of these thirty or so jounin, special jounin, and blood successor ninja.

If I win, I will spare the lives of all the chunin and genin. If I lose, then I can only bear the pain and kill them. "

Onoki's face instantly turned pale, and even his red strawberry nose looked like he had albinism, and his lips were so pale that they turned a dull purple-black color.

How should he choose?How can he choose? !

Choose to lose?Choosing to leave thousands of chuunin and genin alive?So with Tatsuma's character, he would not hesitate to kill those jounin, special jounin and blood successor ninja.

If it is just a simple comparison, thousands, chuunin and genin are actually more useful on the battlefield than more than thirty jounin, special jounin and blood successor ninja, and fewer people are sacrificed at the same time.

Among the remaining chuunin and genin, there are also young ninjas who have enough potential to become jonin and special jounin, which seems to be a good choice.

But in reality, there are no independent events, they are all linked together. If he gave up the lives of Jonin and others, then the promotion motivation and promotion system of the entire village will completely collapse.

No Iwa ninja would be willing to be promoted, because in the heart of their Tsuchikage-sama, a jounin is not even as good as a genin.
What if you choose to win?Use chuunin and genin in exchange for the lives of jounin?First of all, the values ​​are not equal, the functions are not equal, and the most important thing is that the Ninja Village system will directly collapse.

Because any ninja village is mainly composed of chunin and genin, and jounin is also selected from chunin and genin.

Once he, the Tsuchikage, says something like that a genin has less life rights than a jounin, or makes a similar decision, the ninja community in the ninja village will fall apart, and the village and the ninjas will also be at odds.

"Lord Tsuchikage, let's start making a decision. The countdown is ten seconds. Ten, nine."

"I don't approve of this bet!"

"eight, seven"

"In exchange for other conditions! Even if Iwagakure Village surrenders unconditionally!"

"Six, five"

"On other terms!!!"

"four three"

"Kill me! Use my life in exchange for their lives!"

"Two, one."

Tatsuma's countdown did not pause for a moment. He looked at Ohnoki and said, "It seems that I have won, Lord Tsuchikage."

"do not want!"

"Immortal magic! Wood escape! Vajra power! Fu Tiao! End disaster!"

The big tree that hung tens of meters of Iwa Ninja grew more branches one after another, directly piercing into the bodies of the unconscious Iwa Ninja Jonin, Special Jounin and Blood Successor Ninja, and the chakra in their bodies also He was quickly taken away by Mu Dun.

Not just chakra, but life force
Looking at the Iwa Ninja who gradually shriveled up until only a pair of skin remained, Ohnoki rolled his eyes and fell directly from the air.
