Chapter 230: The Current Strongest in this Era
Nawaki was about to complain, but suddenly froze.
It was because Xin's words weren't wrong; it's just that Nawaki had never really thought about these things before.
When Konoha was established, the ninja world indeed experienced peace. Apart from some minor skirmishes, there were almost no major wars.
But why?
Wasn't it because of the immense power and influence of Hashirama Senju, with the added threat of Madara Uchiha? Who would dare to cause trouble?
Later, after Madara's feigned death and Hashirama's passing, the First Shinobi War broke out not long after.
That's the most obvious example.
"So... peace must be built on the foundation of great strength?" Konan and Nagato had also emerged from the back room, with Nagato-head still bowed-asking the question.
"That's not entirely true,"
Yahiko said, suddenly remembering something and starting to argue. "Lord Hanzo is incredibly powerful, but Amegakure still went to war with Konoha. Strength isn't everything."
How do you explain that? Nawaki and Minato both looked at Xin.
Xin hadn't expected Yahiko to bring up Hanzō as a counterargument, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Powerful? He's strong, sure, but at best, he's only on par with the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages. And he dares to call himself a demigod? What a joke."
If Hanzō heard this, he'd probably want to cut you down with his scythe.
Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato were all dumbfounded. They thought Xin was just boasting.
Minato smiled wryly but didn't dare to argue.
Because Xin could easily counter any argument, leaving people doubting their own beliefs.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? I admit that Hanzo is strong, but he's far from reaching the level of a god-not even close to being a demigod."
"Right now, in the entire ninja world, I believe the strongest is the Third Raikage of Kumogakure."
Honestly, the Third Raikage was truly formidable in his prime.
Xin even suspected that he was more fearsome than Ōnoki.
Unparalleled defense and offense, combined with speed that surpassed most shinobi.
It's safe to say that during this period, the Third Raikage was practically a walking cheat code.
The man who single-handedly took down the Eight-Tails wasn't just boasting.
Don't be fooled by how easily the Third Kazekage could handle Shukaku-that was only because his magnet release could suppress Shukaku.
And Shukaku wasn't particularly strong among the Tailed Beasts.
If it had been the Eight-Tails instead, the Third Kazekage would have been running for his life.
There's a reason Kurama ridiculed Shukaku's weakness.
Among the nine Tailed Beasts, Shukaku really was the weakest. Xin didn't even recall seeing Shukaku use a Tailed Beast Bomb in the anime.
Whether it was because he couldn't or didn't want to use it remains unknown.
