Genshin impact:dimensional guild in teyvat

As for taking care of children, Smith would not do it, as he was still a child himself. Wouldn't it be better to find Keqing to practice spearmanship with him during this time? In fact, Smith really wanted to take Uzumaki Kushina away, but after seeing her expression, he knew that her heart was broken. The only thing she couldn't let go of was Uzumaki Naruto.

Smith planned to leave Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke under Grandma Ping's care for teaching. Grandma Ping was a professional when it came to teaching children.

"Alright, take a break first. I'm going to deal with this war!" Smith was eager to see some people die in Konoha. Watching Naruto as a child made him feel passionate, but when he recalled it as an adult, it left him with a sense of darkness. However, the guild had instructed him to solve this war.

With a step, Smith summoned a barrier made of pure trees around Uzumaki Kushina and Naruto before disappearing from the scene. Uzumaki Kushina stared at the display absentmindedly. Wood Release—it was a power she hadn't expected to see again, and it was clear now that more than one person could wield it. With such a power, there was no need to worry about the Nine-Tails rampaging inside Naruto's body.

"Huhuhu, why is it so strong!" Sarutobi Hiruzen gripped the Vajra Ruyi Stick in one hand, though his other arm was twisted unnaturally, showing signs of broken bones from the previous battle. The bodies of many Anbu and Root members lay scattered around. Despite claiming to be a top master, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt powerless against the masters of the Samsara Eye. Danzo, the man who was supposed to help, only dragged him down. If he hadn't been forced to protect Danzo, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing position.

Danzo, unaware of Sarutobi Hiruzen's disdain, would have certainly roared, "Do I need your protection? I have several lives!"

"Danzo, do you still want to hide?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke coldly.

Shimura Danzo was taken aback. Was Sarutobi Hiruzen reminding him of something? Then, it clicked—he still had Shisui's eyes. If he could control the Samsara Eyes, he could not only become Hokage and control Konoha but also dominate the entire Ninja World.

Danzo quickly tore off the bandages covering his face, activating the Mangekyō Sharingan. His face lit up with joy. "Hurry up! Help Konoha and resolve these troubles!" Danzo felt confident in Kotoamatsukami's ability. This was the Mangekyō Sharingan, and even the Samsara Eye should be helpless against it, right?

But to Danzo's shock, as he relaxed, Tendō stretched out his hand. A massive force pulled Danzo in. Before he could react, his neck was pinched by Tendō, and with a sickening crunch, it was crushed.

"Danzo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen roared in anger, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Tendō. He had never felt such anger before, not even when Biwako died.

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to charge at Tendō, Danzo's figure vanished and reappeared just a short distance away. Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned bemused when he saw this.

He realized what Danzo had used. Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to confront Danzo—why hadn't Danzo mentioned this technique earlier? If he had, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't have needed to protect him and sustain injury.

"Who are you?" Tendō Pain, however, was unfazed by the resurrection of Shimura Danzo. Instead, he turned his attention to a man walking slowly in the distance. The presence of this man posed a greater threat to him than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You want to take revenge on Danzo? Actually, I support you. Konoha may not be a good village, but there are innocent civilians here. The battle between ninjas should not involve them. If you want revenge, you should kill Danzo directly, instead of perpetuating the cycle of pain that others brought to you," Smith said indifferently.

Of course, Smith didn't mean it. The civilians of Konoha were not good people either—just look at how they treated Naruto and White Fang. And the greatest problem lay with Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other Konoha higher-ups.

Hearing Smith's words, Nagato behind Pain was instantly enraged. "You are fighting for your version of justice, and I am fighting for mine. Both of us are ordinary people caught in a cycle of revenge, all in the name of justice. But if revenge is justified by justice, this only breeds more vengeance. When will the cycle end? We are living in this vortex, understanding the past while predicting the future. All of this is history's way of unfolding."

"Maybe," Smith responded coolly. "But I don't understand that kind of foolish talk about people understanding each other. Senju Hashirama was a fool. He had the power to destroy all the countries and unify the world. Under such circumstances, he could have brought relative peace. Yet, he allowed other countries to form their own ninja villages and distributed tailed beasts. This led to the escalation of wars. The world he established failed."

"If you come to destroy Konoha and unify the Ninja World, I might support you. But if you are only after revenge, that won't work for me," Smith continued. "Now, let me be your opponent!"

Nagato fell silent. Smith's words had given him pause. Perhaps he had been too simplistic before. He had tried to create the Ten Tails to control the great nations, but if all the nations were destroyed and only one remained, wouldn't it create peace? Wasn't he overly focused on revenge?

"A**hole, what are you talking about! You're insulting the first Hokage and Konoha!" Shimura Danzo couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to unify the ninja world, but Smith's statement about destroying Konoha was unacceptable to him.

What Danzo didn't expect was that just as he finished speaking, a long spear made of wood shot through his abdomen.
