The bigger the cake, the more people will share it, and the less darkness will remain behind the light.
As for making darkness disappear completely?
That's pure fantasy, it's absolutely impossible!
There is no absolute fairness in the world, only relative fairness.
Even so, very few major powers can achieve this. Even Konoha, which has the intervention of Akira Hatake, is only at the beginning.
But even at the very beginning, Minato Namikaze feels that he is struggling to make progress.
The reason is simple: behind his actions lies a time bomb that could completely destroy Konoha!
High-level ninjutsu is not secretive enough, and the four hidden villages that are eyeing it covetously will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity to dig out Konoha's secrets!
It is foreseeable that spies from the other four hidden villages will infiltrate Konoha in various ways in the future, learn many of Konoha's advanced ninjutsu, and then bring them back to their own villages.
With this ebb and flow, the decline of Konoha is already a foregone conclusion.
But Akira Hatake was prepared; he planned to implement a "bandit" strategy of his own making.
Minato Namikaze agreed with this, and even expressed his strong support for it.
"Alright, the matter of the Ninja Library is now concluded, so let's move on to the next topic."
Minato Namikaze cleared his throat. "Regarding the handling of defeated nations and defeated villages, I have formulated the following policies."
He handed some pre-bound documents to Akira Hatake, who was sitting at the front. Akira Hatake took one copy for himself and then passed the rest on to the back.
Soon, an identical document was placed on the table of everyone in the conference room.
Once everything was ready, Minato Namikaze spoke again.
"First, the terms of the peace talks include, but are not limited to, compensation for war property losses, additional reparations for defeat, cession of territory, and the establishment of military buffer zones, etc."
"Secondly, we will demand that the defeated nations reduce the military spending of their respective hidden villages, and that each hidden village limit the number of ninjas it possesses."
"The ideal situation is that the annual military expenditure of each defeated country's hidden village should not exceed 1 billion taels of silver, and the number of ninjas in each hidden village should not exceed 10."
"Third, we will recover the tailed beasts from the defeated countries, whether they are Jinchuriki or wild tailed beasts, they are all within our recovery scope."
"Fourth, the daimyo of each defeated nation must submit a written apology to our daimyo, and pay 15 billion ryo in taxes to our country and our Konoha village every year."
"The distribution of these 15 billion taels of tax revenue is as follows: the village receives 10 billion taels, and the daimyo takes 5 million taels."
"Fifth, in order to ensure peace in the future ninja world, all defeated nations and villages should hand over their sealed books to us for safekeeping for six months."
"Six months later, we will decide whether to return the sealed book or continue to keep it for them, based on the performance of the defeated nations and the defeated hidden villages."
"Alright, that's the gist of it. After you've carefully reviewed the document, please vote on my proposal."
Minato Namikaze picked up the teacup on the podium and took a sip. His words had left him parched.
Before Minato Namikaze could put the teacup back on the table, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table in front of him and jumped up.
"Fourth Hokage, do you intend to plunge the village and the Land of Fire back into the abyss of war?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi glared with his bull-like eyes and pointed at Minato Namikaze, "Of the peace terms you just mentioned, only the first one is barely passable; the rest are pure bullshit!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled with rage. He knew that Minato Namikaze was young and impetuous, but he never expected that Minato Namikaze was not just impetuous, but completely arrogant and domineering, leaving no way for others to live!
The five extremely harsh conditions not only humiliated the four major powers, but also thoroughly uprooted them!
"Third Hokage, I respect you as the former Hokage and as the head of the Sarutobi clan, but may I take your words just now as a provocation against me?!"
Minato Namikaze tilted his head, his voice somewhat cold.
Now, Minato Namikaze is in charge of Konoha Village, and he's the one who calls the shots!
fart?
Hiruzen Sarutobi, that senile old fool, is the one who's talking nonsense!
"Fourth Hokage, I apologize for my inappropriate wording just now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, ever flexible and adaptable, nodded slightly to Minato Namikaze before launching another fierce attack on him.
"Fourth Generation, in my opinion, your conditions are no different from a declaration of war. Whether it's reparations, taxes, or the confiscation of the sealed books from each village, it's all contempt and trampling on them."
"Therefore, in my capacity as the Third Hokage and the head of the Sarutobi clan, I oppose your proposal."
After expressing his decision, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to face everyone present and began his highly inflammatory speech.
"Everyone, although I have stepped down as the Hokage of Konoha, I am still the Third Hokage of Konoha."
“I know that the fourth generation is young and impetuous, and he always thinks about pursuing the greatest benefit in many things.”
"But many things cannot be concluded based on momentary anger. Doing so will not only fail to bring us peace, but will also drag us back into the quagmire of war."
"We are indeed the victorious nation, and we should indeed face the defeated nation with the attitude that a victorious nation should have, but we cannot let them go completely out of life because of that."
“When people can no longer survive, they will naturally go all out and choose to launch a desperate attack against us.”
"I believe that everyone here has children, relatives, and friends, and I also believe that everyone hates war because war has taken away too many of our loved ones..."
"Therefore, I urge everyone to carefully consider the five peace terms proposed by the Fourth Hokage, weigh the pros and cons, and cast your crucial vote with utmost care."
It must be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi's years as Hokage have not been in vain; at the very least, his impromptu speech was of a very high standard and his ideas were quite profound.
But then again, the peace that Hiruzen Sarutobi kept talking about was a weak peace achieved at the expense of his own people's interests!
Snap, snap, snap...
Akira Hatake's lips twitched, and he clapped his hands as he stood up from his seat.
"Third Hokage, I'll address you as that for now."
Akira Hatake looked displeased. "Have you been in a high position for too long and forgotten the cruelty of war?"
"Not only that, you've also forgotten the hardships, bloodshed, and sacrifices faced by the ninjas on the front lines."
"We have won the joint attack of the four major powers. Although it was a Pyrrhic victory, our achievements are glorious!"
"In Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning, the Third Raikage, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Raikage A candidate all died at the hands of me and the Fourth Raikage."
"Not only that, after Killer Bee's death, the Eight-Tails is now in the hands of our Konoha."
"And most importantly, at this time, the number of fighting ninjas in Kumogakure is only about 8000, and its top ninjas have basically all been wiped out!"
"Looking at Kirigakure in the Land of Water, four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have been killed, the Three-Tails is dead, and the casualties among the ninja forces are also considerable."
"Although the Land of Water has preserved its strength much better than the Land of Lightning, its geographical location makes it impossible for them to make a comeback."
"As for the two countries of Kaze and Todo, Chiyo of Sunagakure in Kaze and the Jinchuriki of One-Tailed were killed in action, and their ninja forces also lost more than half of their numbers."
"The Iwagakure village in the Land of Earth has also suffered heavy losses in its ninja forces. The village's top ninjas and two Jinchuriki have either been captured or killed. At this time, the Iwagakure village is definitely in a weakened state."
"More importantly, we now have three tailed beasts under our control!"
"Nine-tails, eight-tails, four-tails!"
Akira Hatake glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then looked around at everyone in the conference room.
"Everyone, I think you can all see that in this war, our Land of Fire is the biggest winner. Moreover, after this battle, the village's top combat power combined is enough to destroy any one of the four great nations in a short time!"
"But correspondingly, the greater our victory, the deeper the hatred of the four great powers towards us!"
"It is foreseeable that decades from now, once the four major powers have recovered and regrouped, they will once again unite to encircle and suppress our country. We must be wary of this."
"If we cannot defeat them once and for all, our descendants will forever live in a vicious cycle of war, where they are subjected to revenge, revenge, and more revenge."
"Gentlemen..." Akira Hatake clenched his fist, "If the four great nations still want to fight, then let them fight again!"
"As long as the Fourth Hokage, myself, and all of you are here, we will fight the Four Great Nations as long as they want!"
"Even if it means we are destroyed along with them, we will not hesitate!"
"But as long as we ultimately emerge victorious, our descendants will no longer be trapped in an endless cycle of war!"
"Everyone... please don't push the arduous tasks that we should shoulder onto our own descendants. That would be cowardly and contrary to the profession of ninja!"
"I have finished speaking. Everyone must carefully weigh the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves, and cast your vote with utmost care."
After saying that, Akira Hatake sat down again, and around him and throughout the entire conference room, the sound of heavy breathing spread like waves.
Akira Hatake knew that the vast majority of people present had already made up their minds!
Now, it's time to witness history.
Chapter 234: Abandoned by all, Hiruzen Sarutobi makes a dejected exit.
Everyone in the ninja world knows what the sealed books in each hidden village truly represent.
It can be said that the Book of Seals is the essence of each hidden village, and the various ninjutsu and taijutsu recorded in it are the cornerstone of the establishment of each hidden village.
Even if it takes half a year to get hold of the sealing books of each hidden village, regardless of whether you can learn them all, just copying and preserving all kinds of ninjutsu would greatly enhance the foundation of Konoha Village.
Everyone in the conference room instantly understood Minato Namikaze's plan.
The Sarutobi clan certainly has a rich collection of ninjutsu books, but no matter how rich they are, how can they compare to the entire ninja world?
While the Five Great Hidden Villages cannot represent the entire ninja world, if the Scrolls of Sealing from the Five Great Hidden Villages are combined, then Konoha will possess 4/5 of the ninjutsu of the entire ninja world.
And it was for this reason that Akira Hatake discussed with Minato Namikaze the establishment of a ninjutsu library in Konoha Village.
When the ninjutsu possessed by Konoha Village covers 4/5 of all ninjutsu in the entire ninja world, why would they be afraid of others stealing their techniques?
Anyway, most of these are ninjutsu that the various hidden villages already had, so what's wrong with stealing them?
Even if their techniques were stolen, Konoha had already taken advantage of the excellent opportunity to collect various ninjutsu from the four hidden villages before all of their ninjutsu were leaked, thus achieving a leap in overall strength.
In this way, the time bomb buried under the Ninja Library naturally disappeared.
Moreover, those present suddenly realized that as long as they contributed their clan's various ninjutsu, the advanced ninjutsu that their entire clan's ninjas could learn and borrow would no longer be limited to Konoha.
That's the charm of a big cake...
This is also the main reason why Akira Hatake called this plan the "robbery plan".
Clearly, this plan is to extract the resources of the four hidden villages to nourish and enhance Konoha's own resources.
Doing so would definitely, as Hiruzen Sarutobi said, cause the four great nations and the four hidden villages to rebound and engage in another life-or-death war with Konoha.
On the other hand, even if the four great nations and the four hidden villages were to fight the Land of Fire and Konoha to the death, Akira Hatake and his group would not be afraid at all.
Akira Hatake was worried that his plan to unify the entire ninja world would be difficult to implement, but if the four hidden villages fought desperately, Akira Hatake would have a reason to continue to purge the ninjas from the four hidden villages.
