The strongest self-disciplined captain of the Konoha Guards - Chapter 137
c137 The root of the war in the ninja world
Everyone present, especially Jiraiya and Tsunade, suddenly fell into an inexplicable emotion after hearing the word peace.
They are not ordinary people who roam in peace, nor are they ordinary ninjas who can only do small tasks.
But he truly emerged from the war as an elite ninja who had killed countless enemies.
No matter who was present, including Kushina, their hands were covered in blood on the battlefield.
The war lasted for half of their lives, both achieving and destroying many things for them.
Just like Jiraiya Tsunade, two wars made them famous as Sannin.
But most of their relatives, friends, and classmates died in these two wars.
Although they were numb to war, everyone present still yearned for peace.
It’s just that they don’t know how to do it.
Minato was confused: “True peace in the ninja world? Could it be said?”
Jiraiya knew something because he had visited Mt. Myoboku, so he subconsciously asked:
“Is your goal finally set in motion?”
Bai Feng smiled and said: “Everyone, peace in the ninja world has always been my wish, but this is not the place to talk. Let’s go to the Hokage Building first.”
Not long after, a group of people came to a conference room in the Hokage Building.
There were only five people sitting at the scene, Bai Feng, Uchiha Fugaku, Namikaze Minato, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.
Ever since the Third Generation and his gang were eliminated, the position of Konoha’s top management has been changed.
He personally mentioned Fugaku and Tsunade. Fugaku served as the deputy captain of the Konoha Guard and Tsunade served as the director of Konoha Hospital.
As for Minato, he can be trusted after transplanting the Nine-Tails.
As for Jiraiya, after so many days of getting along with each other and the trip to Mt. Myoboku.
Bai Feng could still feel Jiraiya’s desire for peace, but he didn’t know how to realize it because of the limitations of the times.
If you cultivate it well, you may not be unable to contribute some strength when the process of unifying the ninja world is carried out in the future.
Moreover, because of the Third Hokage, these people were more or less disappointed with Konoha and questioned the ninja system.
Bai Feng glanced at the crowd and said calmly: “Before the meeting, I want to ask you all. What exactly is peace?”
What exactly is peace?
This question may be simple or complicated, but it points directly to the essence of the world.
As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, everyone was thinking.
For Jiraiya, the word peace is what he has been pursuing for so many years.
It is also the goal that he has been striving for throughout his life.
For Tsunade, peace has been her wish for so many years, after the death of her brother, lover, and clan members.
Tsunade has long been numb to war, and only has a vision of peace in her heart.
Minato and Fugaku also have their own experiences, both have experienced war, and have a desire for peace in their hearts.
Tsunade pondered for a moment and then said: “If we want to talk about peace, isn’t the ninja world currently in peace?”
Bai Feng shook his head: “It is true that Konoha is the strongest village in the ninja world and can enjoy peace. However, in fact, the entire world is still in conflict and war!”
Bai Feng paused and glanced at everyone, “Since the establishment of the Ninja Village system, the entire Ninja world has experienced three large-scale wars. Even if there are no large-scale wars, conflicts and frictions occur every moment.”
“The ninja world is like this today, let alone the Warring States period before. It is definitely darker than now.”
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Indeed, the ninja world seems to be calm on the surface now.
But in fact, conflicts and frictions in every village are constant. Otherwise, why would there be so many A-level, even S-level and super-S-level missions in the village every year?
A-level tasks are already related to the country and the trends of the village.
S-class and super-S-class are even more related to national and even transnational confidential missions.
On the surface, it seems that there is no war in the ninja world, but in fact, a large number of ninjas die in missions every year.
Minato looked at Bai Feng and asked: “So, Godaime, how should we solve the war and bring true peace to the ninja world?”
“Minato’s question is a good one.” Bai Feng nodded, “If you want to solve the war and achieve peace, you must first find the root of the problem.”
“The root cause?” Jiraiya was stunned, “I remember you once said, Godaime, that the root cause of war is actually the imbalance of development between villages.”
Bai Feng nodded: “Yes, this is indeed the case. The development of various countries is extremely uneven, so most of the reasons for wars between countries are interests, and they are wars for interests.”
“But in my opinion, this phenomenon is just like the vassal states, where the heroes are divided and fight for each other. It is not impossible for them to fight for a bit of territory or even a bit of benefit.”
“The ninja world is not a garden, but a very dark world, full of feudalism, full of ignorance, and full of backwardness.”
“The root cause of war in this world is actually us ninjas, the daimyo who controls the country, and this dark and backward era!”
After Bai Feng finished speaking, several people present subconsciously wanted to refute.
After all, they are all ninjas, and with their status as ninjas, no one will admit that they are the cause of bad things.
But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that it was inexplicably true.
yes.
In fact, when the profession of ninja was first created, it originally appeared as a fighting tool.
When the ninja world launches a war, most of the ninjas from the major ninja villages participate.
During the Warring States Period, each major family fought independently, and this was the result.
Not only ninjas, but also a large number of civilians and even children were involved in the war. The average life span of ninjas and citizens was only 30 years old.
In the later ninja village era, ninjas began to form groups, and their combat power increased exponentially compared to the previous family model.
In the end, a single ninja village has the power to influence the world situation. Once a war breaks out between two villages, the entire ninja world will be involved.
And as time goes by, the scale of the war becomes larger and larger, and no village can survive alone.
At this moment, Minato wondered: “But I can understand that ninjas are the source of war, but what about the other two?”
Bai Feng smiled and said: “This will explain the relationship between daimyo and ninjas. There is actually an important point here. Konoha Village is Konoye Village, and the Country of Fire is the Country of Fire. This is equivalent to Party A and Party B. cooperative relationship.
“We in Konoha are war contractors of the Land of Fire. We specialize in taking money and killing people.”
“But this is very contradictory. On the one hand, we ninjas are participating in wars and killing non-stop for resources, but at the same time we are tired of all this and want to pursue true peace.”
“And those daimyo and nobles rely on our constant exploitation to squeeze the common people and live a life of intoxication. For their own interests, they either compete for hegemony or want to plunder land, and they will also use ninjas to launch wars.”
Bai Feng’s words completely refreshed the worldview of everyone present.
Even more, to them, these are already shocking views.
If Bai Feng hadn’t been a time traveler and received complete compulsory education.
People living in the ninja world would never imagine that there are so many things, and it would be difficult for them to think about the nature of this world.
After all, in their view, the existence of ninjas is natural, and the cooperation with daimyo has existed a long time ago.
Even the Akatsuki organization, which is known as a fiercely ideological organization, ultimately implements the same old things and has no intention of overthrowing the fundamental system of this world.
The temporary peace brought by simply using tailed beast weapons to intimidate the ninja world will eventually come to nothing and be shattered.
Jiraiya murmured: “What about the last dark and backward era?”
Bai Feng said calmly: “Before answering this question, let me ask you, apart from constantly starting wars and killing people, have we ninjas made any contribution to the development of this world?”
“Let me be clear, we take on tasks and earn money, but we have never engaged in production. Do you know what the consequences of this will be?”
“If you don’t know clearly, I think you have all been to the secular world outside the Ninja Village. What kind of life do those people live?”
“Here” several people at the scene looked at each other, and for a moment they didn’t know what to say.
This goes back to the first reason. Ninjas seem to have brought nothing else to the world except war and killing.
The major ninja villages may be able to live a more prosperous life by relying on their missions.
But what about outside the ninja world?
The ninja world and the secular world outside the ninja world are almost completely two eras.
One is the poor and backward ancient Japan, and the other is the prosperous modern society.
For example, Konoha Village has complete social welfare. Even Naruto, an orphan, can go to a ninja school. Although the treatment is not good, at least he has enough food and clothing.
This is not because he is a fourth-generation orphan, but because he is an orphan from Konoha and was raised by the welfare system of Konoha Village.
There is also Orochimaru. Orochimaru’s parents died when he was young, but he still grew up well in Konoha.
It is because of this system that so many orphans in Konoha can grow up healthily, and so many ninjas can complete their missions without worrying about their families during the war.
The civilians outside the ninja world are completely like the poverty and backwardness of ancient Japan.
The polarization between the rich and the poor has caused such a result, naturally because all the resources outside the village have been used in the village.
After all, Konoha Village itself is not engaged in production, but relies on resources produced in other places in the Fire Country, such as food, cash crops or other things.
Uchiha Fugaku’s expression sank: “Is that a problem with the profession of ninja? If there are no ninjas, or if we don’t practice chakra, the problem of war can be solved.”
“It’s just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.” Bai Feng shook his head, “Weapons and power are never for war, nor are they the root cause of war. Those who control the power behind the scenes are.”
“It’s not that ninjas are not allowed to practice chakra, but that ninjas can use the chakra they practice in more critical places.”
“What’s the reason?” Everyone present looked at Bai Feng seriously.
Following Bai Feng’s eloquent talk, they couldn’t help but feel a kind of shock from the bottom of their hearts.
They vaguely felt that the young man in front of them might really bring peace to the ninja world.
Bai Feng pondered: “I just said that the root cause of the chaos in our world is because of the existence of ninjas. It is essentially the development error of our world.”
“If the ninja world wants to achieve true peace, it must eliminate the ninjas and ninja organizations that rely on ninja villages as a way of survival.”
“Our seniors all thought about how to maintain the existence of the ninja world and ninja villages, but they never thought about why ninjas must exist.”
“This is an extremely wrong idea, because the richer the ninjas become, the food and other things produced by the farmers will flow into the war.”
“And the war itself was a meaningless war. It could neither promote farmers’ production nor adjust production relations. It neither overthrew the decadent regime nor increased food production.”
“It’s just pointless bloodshed, dead people and the continuation of the status quo.”
After Bai Feng finished speaking, he shook his head and pondered for a long time.
Jiraiya, Minato, and the others also became silent as Bai Feng pondered.
“My idea is that Konoha Village should focus on researching how to develop productivity. Every ninjutsu is actually a kind of energy.”
“Chakra is a huge energy source. Not to mention a super huge energy source like Nine-Tails.”
“For example, we have Yamato, the only Wood Release ninja in Konoha. His Wood Release is an excellent house builder. Except for Yamato, even those ordinary ninjas who rely on simple Water Release or Earth Release have a lower productivity. A huge improvement.”
“I believe that when ninjas no longer hinder the development of the world, but become the driving force for the development of the world, that is when the ninja world truly ushered in peace.”
Listening to Bai Feng’s words, everyone fell into silent thinking.
They didn’t expect that such shocking thoughts would come from the mouth of the young man in front of them, who was less than twenty.
However, although these concepts are somewhat shocking and even deviant.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe this is the only way to peace for the ninja in the darkness.
After Jiraiya and others had finished thinking, Bai Feng looked at everyone seriously,
“Therefore, in order to achieve peace in the ninja world, we must first destroy the old system of the ninja village system and the daimyo system.”
“What should we do?” Minato couldn’t help but ask.
Bai Feng suddenly smiled and said: “Don’t worry, I have these things in mind. I just need to tell you and then implement them.”
“But everyone, this path may not be as simple as you think. As long as it is implemented, resistance and counterattacks from the entire world will come one after another.”
“In other words, we will be enemies of the entire world, and there will be all kinds of bloodshed and sacrifices. Will you still be willing to help me with this result?”
Bai Feng finally extended invitations to several people.
On this road, you cannot rely on yourself alone. Being strong is only one of them and cannot affect the final result.
To achieve our goals, we need more like-minded teammates.
When there are more and more like-minded teammates, we can definitely change the world in the end.
After Bai Feng finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku was the first to stand up.
“The will of the patriarch is the meaning of my actions.”
After Uchiha Fugaku stood up, Minato also stood up,
“No matter what, Godaime, whatever you do, I will support you without hesitation.”
With the two people standing up, Jiraiya and Tsunade on the side thought for a while and expressed their opinions.
Tsunade smiled and said: “To be honest, I am also looking forward to the peace you have built, Godaime.”
“Peace is the goal I have been pursuing. I don’t need you to tell me Godaime, I will insist on following you.”
Bai Feng nodded and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
“Very good, then let’s work together to build a peaceful new world!”
