Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 45: Peace
"...Roots underground can never enjoy the sunlight like leaves. Danzo's actions are meaningless."

Hinata Yu shook his head and said calmly: "If you were worried, you wouldn't have come here."

"...That's right." Minato smiled and stood up, "All I have to do is win this war with my fellow villagers."

The premise for the ninja clan to bargain is that the Hokage is willing to play by the rules with them. When a powerful Hokage is unwilling to play, the ninja clan has no ability to stop him.

Did the first Hokage have political acumen?

No, but all ninjas must follow his rules.

The eternal law of the ninja world is - the strong are respected!
Well, the strong are respected...

"Well, before the village's ninja forces gather, let's first clean up the Kirigakure troops wandering around."

Looking at the excited Kushina, Hinata Yu sighed and looked at Kakashi and Uchiha Yamaru beside him, as if asking:

"We are the Shadow Guards. How can we abandon the Hokage and carry out the mission on our own?"

You ask me, who do I ask?
Uchiha Yamaru rolled his eyes, pointed in the direction of Kushina, and then looked at the command room, using two fingers to indicate high and low. Kushina was high and Minato was low, clearly expressing what he wanted to say.

"It is obvious that this person is the boss of the Hokage's family. Can we still resist?"

Is this another way of respecting the strong?

The fourth generation master is a henpecked husband, and I never thought about it before.

Kakashi, on the other hand, stood there looking at the comic book, calmly, as if he was used to it.

Mrs. Kushina just stayed in the village alone for too long and wanted to "have some fun".

"What are you waiting for?"

Kushina walked a distance away, looked back at the three people with different expressions, and did not follow, put her hands on her hips, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to listen to the captain's arrangements? I have already said hello to Minato."

"Let's go." Hinata Yu shook his head, created a shadow clone and left it outside the command room before following.

Seeing this, Kakashi and Uchiha Yamaru looked at each other and followed.

As the reinforcements have not yet arrived, Minato needs to stay at the command center first, and the plan to deal with the Tailed Beast Force has to be postponed.

After all, Orochimaru, who was gathering intelligence, has not returned yet, and some plans require more specific intelligence before they can be carried out.

But Jiraiya has already gone to the front line.

"It's much worse than my previous experience on the battlefield."

An hour away from the headquarters, Hinata Yu thought secretly as his Byakugan reflected the scene of the surrounding forest.

Scattered blood and ninja tools were everywhere in the forest, and some bodies had not yet been recovered. It was obvious that with the arrival of the Kirigakure reinforcements and the increasing intensity of the battle, there was no energy left to do some things.

After moving forward for a distance and seeing that they had not encountered any enemies yet, Kushina made a stop gesture at the front and asked everyone to rest for a while.

Although they are all jonin, if the intelligence is correct, Kirigakure has already deployed 7,000 ninjas on the battlefield and is still sending reinforcements to the front line. Next time, there will probably be another 2,000 ninjas deployed.

Although most of the ninjas are cannon fodder at the middle and lower levels, there are still some experts among them. Their team is very powerful, but if they are not careful and fall into an encirclement when they are tired, they may suffer casualties.

"Kirigakure is really crazy. This number of ninjas only appeared when the Third Tsuchikage besieged the Third Raikage. How much defense does the Land of Water have now?" Uchiha Yamaru took out a sip of water from the canteen and asked in confusion, "The military forces of the five major ninja villages are needed to defend most of the five major countries. How did the Daimyo of the Land of Water agree to let the Mizukage bring so many forces to attack us? Do you really think the Mizukage can win?"

Under the one-country-one-village system, most of a country's military strength is borne by domestic ninja villages. Although the daimyo also controls some power, it is insignificant compared to the proportion occupied by the ninja villages.

"The Land of Water is isolated overseas. If you want to attack them, you have to cross a long sea. Most ninjas don't have this ability. They have to go there by boat."

Kushina glanced at him and smiled, "As long as we control the coastline, it will be difficult to attack there. Aren't you good at geography?"

"I know," Yaowan curled his lips, "I just don't understand. Every time the Ninja World goes to war, other ninja villages will come to bite Konoha when they see it is weak. Why don't they just attack other big countries? The defense of the Water Country must be very lax now. If we can't defeat it, we can just take some benefits."

"That's not very beneficial. The place occupied by the Fire Nation is too good."

Hinata Yu used his Byakugan to investigate and looked in a certain direction, and said, "The Fire Country faces the sea to the east and south, and is surrounded by small countries. According to the current map of the Ninja World, it is in the central position and is an important transportation route and economic center."

"Besides, due to the climate and terrain, the grain output here is among the highest among all countries. By attacking here, even if we just break through the border, we can plunder considerable profits."

"Besides, Konoha's war potential has always been the strongest among all the major powers. If we don't suppress them, they will be uneasy."

"..."

Uchiha Yamaru remained silent. It was not that he had not thought of these things, but he was a little worried about this development trend.

During the three Ninja World Wars, Konoha had to fight against several ninja villages. What should they do if Konoha is in a period of transition and no strong person emerges to turn the tide?
The destructive ending seemed foreseeable.

"Can't we just destroy them? We win every time, but I don't see Konoha gaining any substantial benefits."

Yaowan murmured, "The tailed beasts were all assigned to them by the first generation, and now they are using them to fight us. They really don't know what is good for us. The peace that the first generation longed for has been shattered by them. When will we be able to usher in true peace?"

No one present answered, and Hinata Yu also narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

True peace... that kind of thing never existed.

As long as people are alive and have desires, the struggle will not stop.

The world in my previous life had not achieved peace either. Those deterrent weapons only forced countries to exercise restraint when necessary and to launch alternative wars through economic, political and other means.

And many countries have not given up on mastering those terrible weapons, even if they are banned from research.

After all, power can make others fearful, but it can also arouse their greed.

The power of Hashirama was studied, and the power of Uchiha was studied, because of the birth of people like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama who could rival the big ninja villages alone.

Many people are afraid of them, but if given the chance, they all want to be those two!
In the ninja world, if you want to achieve long-term or even eternal peace through individual strength, you must be at the level of the so-called Otsutsuki God. Otherwise, the peace brought by force will sooner or later disappear because of stronger force.

A mere Otsutsuki is not enough. After all, there have been many Otsutsuki killed and sealed in the ninja world in the future.

The ninja world has the foundation to fight against the Otsutsuki.

However, if we abandon the premise of the individual and seek temporary peace, peace without war, we don’t need to be so strong...

The current Konoha will do.

Hinata Yu's expression changed, "The enemy is spotted one kilometer ahead."
