My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 371 Gaara's Bizarre Journey (The End)

The Ninja Alliance Building, Executive Committee Office.

"Click~"

Gaara pushed open the door and entered, somewhat surprised to see a child sitting behind the desk opposite him.

"Reincarnation," Tobirama Senju explained succinctly, then said, "Sit."

[So this is what happens after reincarnation? This name...it must be the Second Hokage of Konoha.]

Gaara sat down across the desk. Although there were rumors about reincarnation circulating on the Net, those who knew the inside story wouldn't go up there and spread them. Most of the rumors were just speculations from small ninja villages and organizations trying to get information.

He had previously thought that the leader of the Ninja Alliance, Tobirama Senju, shared the same name as the Second Hokage, but he never expected that reincarnation actually existed.

Will I be reborn as a child? If possible, Uncle Yashamaru, Mom...

"You didn't bring Sasuke here just to watch the show, did you?" Tobirama Senju's words interrupted his thoughts. "I remember telling Sasuke that you only have one minute."

Gaara snapped out of his daze, met the child's gaze, and asked, "I'd like to know what your plans are for the future of the Ninja Alliance?"

"The future?" Tobirama Senju chuckled. "How far into the future are you referring to?"

Gaara hesitated for a moment, knowing that time was running out, so he decided to be frank and tell all his worries about the future of the Shinobi Alliance.

The current structure of the Ninja Alliance is too loose, and the Reincarnation Technique may seriously affect people's concept of life and death. The reason it is stable now is because there is an unparalleled strongman above it.

Can this suppression be maintained indefinitely? Will the reincarnation system be abused, leading to corruption among the Ninja Alliance's leadership? Will the continued development of scientific ninja tools cause the Ninja Alliance's once-dominant position to crumble?

The unknown world brings unknown risks. Could Kaguya Otsutsuki, an alien who once destroyed the world, be an isolated case?
After the peace is restored, how will the Ninja Alliance address the problem of an increasing number of ninjas but a decreasing number of missions?

Ordinary humans are the cradle of ninjas, but if ninjas unify the world, what will become of ordinary humans in the future?
[As expected of the youngest Kazekage in the future world, how can he think so much?]

Tobirama Senju showed a hint of admiration. It was quite impressive that someone so young had such a broad perspective; however, he was thinking too much.

"Do you think we should stop moving forward if we're worried about those potentially tragic futures?" he asked in an equal tone.

Gaara lowered his eyelids and said, "I don't know." Sometimes, thinking too much can make you feel lost about the future.

He received so much information yesterday and today, and personally felt the surging tide of the times.

It is precisely because I 'don't know' that I want to ask someone who might know.

“I don’t know what the future holds either,” Tobirama Senju laughed. “But we can only choose to run towards the future and actively try to grasp it.”

He slowly explained the current executive committee's thinking to the young man in front of him.

Since the structural problems of the Ninja Alliance were intentional, they can be gradually improved later.

Reincarnation is just a carrot dangling from a stick; it will inevitably be shelved over time. After all, the Ninja Alliance cannot rely on any one person for its existence, and even now, without Link, it truly cannot function. Currently, the vast majority of ninja villages and organizations that join the Ninja Alliance don't actually expect to accumulate enough contribution points for Reincarnation; they are more interested in the money, resources, benefits, knowledge, technology, ninjutsu, manpower, and so on that it offers.

Thanks to the addition of the final chapter world, a part of the missing contribution system of Konoha Village in the main world has been filled.

Reincarnation is certainly the key to the functioning of the contribution system, but once it is in operation, it can continue to function even without reincarnation.

Whether the Ninja Alliance's higher-ups, as powerful figures, can maintain peace through suppression indefinitely, whether the Ninja Alliance's leadership will become corrupt, and whether technological development will introduce instability—all these questions can be answered in one sentence:
Each generation has its own tasks to complete. They should focus on doing their best in the present. As for the distant future, we should trust future generations.

As long as traces of peace remain, even if turmoil recurs one day, someone will eventually rekindle the flame and tirelessly strive to achieve peace.

"I understand." After listening, Gaara had no more doubts and said sincerely, "Thank you for being willing to tell me so much."

He glanced at the time and realized that more than ten minutes had passed in the back-and-forth questioning. He stood up, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry to have wasted so much of your time."

"It's alright," Tobirama Senju replied casually, though at least half of his attention was focused on official business at the Law Enforcement Network.

All the answers just now were actually nothing; Gaara wasn't the first to have those questions.

People with sharp minds, such as Kakashi, Minato Namikaze, and Shikaku Nara, had long had similar questions and concerns. On the contrary, Naruto and Sasuke, who had experienced more and saw things more clearly, came to the current conclusion together with the two Hashirama.

He has said these lines countless times.

"Are you interested in working for the Ninja Alliance?" he extended an olive branch.

The main reason I'm willing to waste some time talking to this kid is because he has a good relationship with Link, but the reason we've been chatting for so long is because I think he's a promising talent.

He might become a good servant of the Ninja Alliance in the future.

"I'm sorry." Gaara instinctively refused, explaining, "I still have some things to take care of, so..."

He felt his explanation was perfunctory, so he added, "I'll come and work for you after I've finished dealing with my business."

"It's not for me, it's for peace." Tobirama Senju corrected her, sending her a suitable job through the Net. "You can take a look at what you want to do and what you're capable of doing first, then come and report to Koharu Utatane."

He paused, then said, "If there's nothing else, let's end our conversation here."

"Alright." Gaara stood up, walked out the door, closed it, and after a while, repeated to himself, "For peace."

He was filled with hope for the peaceful future that he could build himself, and he felt as if he had been injected with adrenaline, wishing he could throw himself into the work of the Ninja Alliance right now.

However, the new Fourth Shinobi World War is about to begin in the main world, and Link's problems also need to be resolved. Before he dedicates himself to the Shinobi Alliance for the sake of peace, he does need to take care of many of his own issues.

Moreover, before returning to the main world, he wanted to go to the future world to meet his future self and hear his thoughts.

He desperately wanted to know how he made his choices about Sunagakure and his father, and how he ended up where he is today.
