Chapter 242: Follow Konoha’s footsteps and divide the ninja world!
next day
The Five Kage Talks Continue
Uchiha Nan gave a speech and began the meeting to decide the future direction of the ninja world.
“Why are there so many disputes in the world, causing countless lives to wander in suffering?
"We ninjas, strangers to each other, yet we hurt each other, what's the point of this?"
"It's time for us ninjas to make a change"
"."
The four shadows listened silently, thinking in their hearts.
They are all ninjas, and are used to looking at the world from a ninja's perspective just like their ancestors.
If Uchiha Nan had not appeared, this process would have continued for a long time.
Before the meeting begins. Oh no, even earlier.
The Kages present also read the new version of the Will of Fire written by Uchiha Kusunoki several times.
“Productive forces and production relations.”
"A backward existence like the Daimyo shouldn't continue to exist."
"."
Uchiha Nan starts off talking about economics in the new version of Will of Fire, but the more you read, the more profound it becomes.
How can this be called economy?
This is a fucking philosophy.
Uchiha Nan tried to use his own worldview and methodology to dialectically describe the entire world, and he directly pointed the finger at the daimyo and nobles.
It is hard to imagine that an Uchiha could write such brilliant and sharp words.
The Daimyo immediately banned this book in the Ninja World.
However, the four Kages still got the book, and after reading it several times, they all felt that what Uchiha Nan said made a lot of sense.
Of course, there is no choice but to believe it completely.
Because, Konoha is the enemy after all.
And due to the lack of financial resources of the ninja village, the tradition of the ninja world and various other factors, even if they want to do something.
But when he thought of the obstacles ahead, he stopped where he was and hesitated to move forward.
After all, they are all Sandaime Kage who succeeded to the throne suddenly and had just taken over a village that was devastated by the First Ninja World War.
It is already a great achievement for the Kages to hold on to their positions and save the village from the quagmire of war.
I also want to do something like Konoha and make drastic reforms in the village.
This is almost delusional.
They don't have the first pot of gold that Konoha made from the Fire Nation nobles.
There is no nuclear-powered donkey like Tobirama Senju to pull up the high-tech tree.
but now.
As Konoha's internal turmoil deepened, this problem became increasingly acute and obvious.
prior to
It’s not that we can’t see the elephant in the room, we can only pretend not to see it.
Now, everyone finds that they can no longer play dumb.
We are the ones who have the power, so why don't we decide everything?
The key is
Konoha is already on the right path and is getting further and further away.
Take a look.
While they were drinking cold water and eating military ration pills with difficulty, Konoha had become powerful enough to support a group of young ninjas!
Fighting in the winter and eating ice cream?
What a ridiculous thing this is!
Being weak is not scary, as everyone has been weak at times. But if you are weak and are unwilling to imitate and learn from the strong, then you are courting death.
Everyone is happy to listen to the teachings of the Hokage.
As Uchiha Nan spoke, he started talking about the Rain Village.
Although Hanzo's behavior is rather rough and radical, it's like...
It’s the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
It’s the Boxer Rebellion!
This is the roar of the ninjas who are dissatisfied with the existing world rules and can no longer bear it!
It is undoubtedly a positive and correct thing for the entire ninja world.
"Should we kill all the daimyo and nobles like Hanzo did? We have the ability to do so if we unite."
“Not to that extent.”
“Things haven’t gotten to this point yet.”
"The daimyo had good intentions, but there were treacherous officials in the court."
"Hokage, your words are too kind."
Sure enough
Uchiha Nan sighed slightly in his heart.
That's human nature.
When I think of the daimyo and nobles who had a good life, while the ninjas had a hard life,
The four shadows were filled with resentment about this.
But if you really ask them to get up and sharpen their knives at night, they will back off again.
This feeling of being stuck is extremely uncomfortable.
But at least there has been some progress, and everyone's minds have been broadened.
The four Kage in front of him became ambiguous in their attitude towards the Rain Village and no longer stood with the daimyos behind them.
At least at this moment, the interests of the ninja world are completely consistent.
"Hokage, the Sky Village is done. We have no interest in the Rain Village. But you also know that the Daimyo are not so easy to deal with. We are not like Konoha, which still has to rely on the Daimyo."
"So do you have any good ideas for us to deal with the Daimyo?"
"We, the five great ninja villages, can no longer waste our energy on such meaningless things."
Mosa on the side spoke first.
The Sand Village has the weakest foundation, even though it has been supported by Konoha and has also made a large sum of money from the Land of Lightning.
But the Sand Village lives in a desert, and money is like water in the desert, there is never enough of it.
This is not to say that after recuperation, the Sand Village cannot withstand a large-scale war with the Rain Village.
But the question is – what’s the point?
Winning is a given.
If you lose, you are a piece of shit, you are all good-for-nothings!
And what happens after this war is won?
In the minds of daimyo and nobles, the most important thing is always their own authority and interests.
Even if the four major ninja villages forcibly suppressed the Rain Village at all costs, what awaits them will not be flowers and smiles, but various suppression and weakening.
Don't say that the expensive people can't do it, they will definitely do it.
After the First Ninja World War, the funding for the Sand Village was cut by the Daimyo of the Wind Country, and the village had to rely on the Third Kazekage to work as a gold miner in the desert to survive.
Fengying has to be a gold miner to keep the village going.
This. How frustrating is this?
Even the leaders of some small ninja villages live better than the Sandaime Kazekage!
Even in the future, every generation of Fengying will be a gold miner.
It wasn't until Konoha's poverty alleviation program was launched that the situation in the Sand Village improved a little.
Of course it's only a little better.
Compared to Konoha, it couldn't even get a passing score.
Mosha finished speaking.
Ōnoki, Mizuto, and the third generation Ai all nodded.
The Hidden Cloud Village of the Third Generation Ai is still in ruins, and the ninjas and villagers are still eagerly waiting to rebuild the Hidden Cloud Village.
He doesn't want to focus his energy on the Rain Village.
Mizuto was thinking about quickly eliminating the bloodline ninja clan in the Hidden Mist Village. To fight against foreign enemies, one must first stabilize the country, and this principle cannot be changed.
What is the relationship between Rain Village and Kirigakure?
Ohnoki looked at the increasingly powerful Konoha. He had thought about emulating Konoha two or three years ago, but he had been delayed by various things and had not taken any action until now.
My heart was filled with deep regret and a raging fire of change was ignited.
Although the three of them had different thoughts, they had already reached a consensus on their attitude towards the Rain Village.
Uchiha Nan could feel that the four Kages present really didn't want to fight anymore.
So Uchiha Nan scratched his head and said with some regret.
"Back then, we could have had a better solution for the Rain Village."
"In the first phase, we say nothing is happening," he said. "In the second phase, we say maybe something is happening but we shouldn't do anything about it."
“The third stage is saying maybe we should take action, but there’s nothing we can do.”
"In the fourth stage, maybe we could have done something, but now it's too late."
The four Kages looked at each other, and then involuntarily gave Uchiha Nan a thumbs up.
Lord Hokage is worthy of being Lord Hokage!
They still have a lot to learn!
"So what should we do now?"
“When acting, sometimes it’s good to keep an enemy and protect yourself.
"Let's all get the Daimyo gold coins together."
Uchiha Nan finished speaking and everyone laughed.
What the four Kage wanted to hear was what Uchiha Nan said: Konoha is behind the Rain Village.
If you want to act, you have to act it out completely!
All the actors must be notified!
We, the four great ninja villages, are pretending to fight on the sidelines. If you, the Rain Ninja Village, come for real, who can stand it? (Uchiha Izuna is crying)
Soon, the atmosphere in the tent became lively.
Uchiha Nan clapped his hands and had someone bring hot pot. While eating the hot pot, several Kages happily discussed how much military funds they should ask for from the daimyo.
After all, he is the most evil enemy in the world!
The enemy is tough and our brothers have suffered heavy losses, so it is only natural that we ask for more military funds.
We, the Ninja Village, are fighting for your Daimyo!
Why not get more gold coins?
Even though the Ninja Army hadn't yet engaged the Rain Village, everyone was already discussing how many people would be killed, how many wounded, and how many detonating tags, kunai, and shurikens would be consumed every day.
It was obviously a very heavy matter, but now it has become unusually easy.
The five shadows exchanged opinions with each other with great joy.
The happiest person is of course Uchiha Nan
At the dinner table, he negotiated several arms deals.
Everyone knows that Konoha has been engaged in the arms business.
After all, the entire ninja world has always been at war, the only difference is the level of war.
Now it happens
The four major ninja villages also need to replenish their supplies, and placing orders with Konoha is just giving face to the Hokage.
Moreover, Konoha's products have always been of good quality and low price, so the four major ninja villages will not lose money if they buy them. Many ninjas in their villages are loyal users of Konoha.
But when Ohnoki saw the quotation sheet, his eyes popped out.
"Hokage, you have this bag of screws to sell."
"Aren't you just robbing me?!"
"The layout is too small!"
"You need to broaden your horizons. We definitely can't let you pay for this. Since we're going to get the gold coins from Damingdu, why not make it more exciting."
"We'll split the extra money 50-50, and Konoha will even give you the invoice."
Uchiha Nan raised five fingers and pointed them at Oonoki.
They are all harboring enemies for their own benefit!
How can we make money if we don't push Commissioner Smith out?
"What if the daimyo sends someone to check the accounts?"
Oonoki asked with a frown on his face, looking worried.
"Then write on the casualty report that he died of disease!"
Uchiha Nan said with a smile.
"We have to fight that battle as long as possible!"
The third generation Aiyan interjected, his eyes glowing with gold coins.
"Wow, Raikage, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you look so honest, but you are so mean at this time.
"I remember you said before that the daimyo is your distant relative, your beloved friend, your brother?"
Uchiha Nan listened to the speech of the third generation Ai
He said this jokingly while picking up a piece of beef roll and dipping it in the hot pot.
"Hahaha, let's put it one thing at a time. This is not..."
The discussion in Rain Village came to an end.
"I think the Five Kage Talks should be regularized. We can't just step in and take charge of the situation when something major happens in the ninja world like we did in the past."
"We must stand up and seek justice for the entire ninja world."
"We need to establish a set of rules for the country, the village, the economy, and everything in politics in this ninja world. We can't let this ninja world continue to be in chaos."
After eating a mouthful of shrimp paste, Uchiha Nan took out a tissue to wipe his mouth and spoke solemnly.
This is a real rise in political status.
Ninjas have always been in a political rut.
Although ninjas are powerful, their political and economic influence is indeed far inferior to that of daimyo, and can even be ignored in the ninja world.
Even when Konoha was just starting out, most of its business was done through the daimyo's business channels.
Only by using a famous name can goods be sold.
no way.
The prejudices of the world are like a mountain!
The wealthy merchants and common people in the ninja world only recognize daimyo, not ninjas. What can Konoha do about it?
Doing business is not as simple as killing people.
Simply forcing someone to buy or sell something is just a temporary solution. Business is not a one-time deal.
Fortunately, the Fire Country Daimyo was sensible and respectable.
Even now, Uchiha Nan doesn't hate him, nor does he have any intention of killing him.
After all, what everyone is fighting for is nothing more than interests. If you are offline, naturally no one will bother you.
If retaining the Fire Country Daimyo can bring more benefits, more money, and more tax revenue to Konoha, then
So why not keep it?
of course
There are not many daimyo as respectable as the Fire Country Daimyo in the ninja world. For such an indecent guy, Uchiha Nan has always liked to use Sharingan and kunai to make him respectable.
The criticism from physics is more convincing!
Even a guy like Uzumaki Naruto who loves to use verbal tactics said it was good.
It's a pity that these shadows are still hesitant and unwilling to take more powerful physical criticism.
Then Uchiha Nan can only try another method and save the country in a roundabout way.
Only those who have power are qualified to uphold justice.
In the past, this power belonged to the daimyo and nobles. Now it is time for the ninjas to stand up and uphold justice for the ninja world.
"I can understand the conflict between ninja villages."
“Should we intervene in disputes between countries?”
"of course"
"And the economy. We ninjas don't understand it either."
"It's okay, Konoha understands and will teach you little by little."
The four actors discussed for a while.
Naruto always comes up with new tricks
They didn't find it strange at all.
only..
They were originally conservative ninjas, but were forced by Konoha to change with Konoha and move forward together.
Although his thoughts were changing, his heart began to desire changes like Konoha.
But when change really comes.
Only then did they realize that they were not fully prepared.
