Chapter 85
"What do you mean, Orochimaru?" Sarutobi Hiruzen takes a puff of his cigarette and says lightly.
"I disagree with the Third Hokage's suggestion!" Yakushi Kabuto stands up at this moment to speak for Orochimaru: "What we need to do now is to unite the entire ninja world. Following the Third Hokage's suggestion can certainly gain temporary benefits. But the Land of Snow is not stupid. Temporary benefits can only be exchanged for greater suspicion."
Everyone nods, agreeing with Yakushi Kabuto's statement! If they followed the Third Hokage's approach, it would undoubtedly be taking advantage of someone's misfortune. The Land of Snow, in order to quell the chaos, would certainly pay a significant fee, but if they did that, they would definitely be very unhappy! Don't forget that afterward, the ninja world still has to develop Chakra Armor with them. Under such circumstances, how can others cooperate with you? Even if it's for the sake of the ninja world, it would be a case of being friendly on the surface but not at heart, and the work efficiency goes without saying! Working actively versus being forced to work, the efficiency naturally goes without saying!
Moreover, doing this would also make Konoha isolate itself from the ninja world. Now the entire ninja world is talking about unity and cooperation. If Konoha jumps out at this time to reverse history, wouldn't it mean all the efforts made during the Fourth Shinobi World War were in vain? Can other ninjas agree? Even if your strength is powerful, it would just be another Fourth Shinobi World War! Moreover, afterward, when the Otsutsuki come, everyone will be busy with civil war, and without them even having to make a move, they would have sent themselves to the farm.
Clearly, everyone present is very aware of these consequences, so it is impossible to do as the Third said! The Third only made this suggestion out of habitual thinking.
