Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

Only myself

He followed in their footsteps, unable to offer them any help whatsoever.

She thought of Nagato struggling through his pain, and then of Yahiko smiling as he faced death, and finally asked the question that had been buried deep in her heart.

if……

Even the mysterious merchant, whose strength surpasses that of Nagato, is unsure of the answer to peace.

What should I do?

In that instant, Xiao Nan even regretted asking the question. She had been yearning for it for countless years, but she became timid while waiting for the answer.

"The answer to peace?"

Fang Yi looked surprised, knowing that this was also Xiao Nan's test.

The white-haired loli behind the screen tensed up. She had browsed countless worlds, and worlds that could truly achieve peace were extremely rare.

Where there is life, there will be struggle and slaughter.

Technology, genes, secret realms, martial arts, magic, the bizarre... countless worlds.

Life, with its will to live, cannot stop the arrival of war.

Even I, who have lived for countless epochs, do not know the answer, so it is even less likely that my master would know.

In that case, the carefully crafted air of mystery would be marred.

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not a god, just a merchant who sells reincarnation games, so I don't know either."

Konan's expectant gaze dimmed, and she clenched her fist, digging her fingertips, painted with the Akatsuki's signature nail polish, deep into her palm.

really……

Fang Yi honestly said, "I have traveled to many worlds, and struggle and fighting have always existed."

From the white-haired loli's mouth, he learned of countless world endings, none of which were very happy.

"Does peace not exist?"

A smile appeared on Xiao Nan's lips, as if she had tasted a bitter candy.

"Peace exists, but the answer to peace does not exist."

Fang Yi continued to shake his head, and after uttering this awkward sentence, he pointed to the players around him and said, "Just like you, you have different identities, so naturally your ideas about peace are different."

"For most people, ending the war means peace."

A wave of his hand.

Suddenly, a huge light screen appeared in the center of the plaza, reflecting the scene of Sunagakure.

Everywhere was filled with sandstorms, the land was barren, and there was a severe drought. Even the ninjas would fill their settlements with huge earthenware jars and pray for rain.

Next is Iwagakure Village, surrounded by rocks on all sides, making traffic congested. Strong winds often howl through the village, whipping up rocks and causing injuries and fatalities.

The Hidden Mist Village is shrouded in dense fog year-round. The humid climate leads to rampant diseases, and fishermen are often swept into the deep sea by enormous marine creatures, resulting in their deaths.

Until the time of the Land of Rain,

Xiao Nan's eyes flickered, as if she understood what the mysterious merchant wanted to say.

She asked, "Are you saying that scarce and limited resources are the cause of war?"

Fang Yi nodded and said, "That's right. Sufficient resources cannot bring about complete peace, but they can quell most wars."

In the ninja world, why was Konoha Village always besieged during the two consecutive Shinobi World Wars?

It's because Konoha Village occupies a large portion of the most fertile land, while the rest of the land is just scraps unsuitable for survival.

There is no absolute peace.

Fang Yi couldn't think of a solution either, but he had a good chance of ending the war and bringing peace to most areas.

Xiao Nan frowned and said, "But... this problem cannot be solved."

Food production is limited, fertile soil is scarce, and habitable environments are firmly occupied by large countries.

After all, while this world has all sorts of fancy ninjutsu and technology that has matured through war, it lacks a systematic body of scientific and technological knowledge.

Orochimaru, one of the few scientists, also focused on genetics and biomedicine.

Xiao Nan never imagined there was a way to increase resources.

"To be honest, being a ninja is a really stupid profession."

Fang Yi rubbed his temples and said, "You know, many worlds I've seen don't have such powerful energy as chakra. They practiced slash-and-burn agriculture, studied the rotation of the sun and moon to record the number of days, found the most suitable days for planting crops, and increased grain production by cultivating seedlings."

Xiao Nan frowned slightly.

As a ninja herself, she felt uncomfortable hearing the other person's sarcastic denial of all ninjas.

"Does ninjutsu have to be used for fighting?"

The Otsutsuki clan's original intention in creating the Ninja Cult was to provide unarmed humans with the power to explore new frontiers, and then with the power to understand each other.

Unexpectedly, after countless years of development, the two most important abilities to be passed down were forgotten, and everyone went to study combat ninjutsu instead.

Upon hearing this, Konan was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Aren't ninjas meant for fighting?"

The nobles provided the assets, and the ninjas served the nobles.

The ninjas fought each other for resources, and their victories gave the daimyo the right to allocate resources more forcefully at the negotiating table.

Not just Xiao Nan,

This includes all the players present, whether they are nobles, commoners, or ninjas from large or small countries.

Isn't this the fate of ninjas?

"Did the Sage of Six Paths say that a ninja's destiny is to fight?"

Fang Yi scanned all the bewildered players, finally fixing his gaze on Konan, and asked, "Ninjas with chakra can easily farm, split mountains and rocks, and build houses, making them a hundred times better than ordinary people. Why would they waste their chakra and ninjutsu on battle?"

"This is because……"

Xiao Nan opened her mouth, then suddenly widened her eyes.

Why waste chakra on war?

"Because of hatred!"

A Chunin from Iwagakure suddenly shouted.

Thinking of his relatives and friends who had been killed by enemy ninjas, he roared, "My brother and my father both died at the hands of Konoha ninjas. I must avenge them!"

Many people, including Uchiha Sasuke, showed expressions of agreement.

With years of war, whose family hasn't lost someone?

These seeds of hatred have taken root and sprouted, and now they are so deeply entrenched that they cannot be untangled.

"Most hatreds are as insignificant as dust and will eventually be submerged and forgotten by the torrent of history."

Fang Yi glanced at him, then looked at Xiao Nan and said, "Back then, the chaos of the Warring States period far exceeded that of today, and the hatred was a hundred times stronger, but it was still reversed by the will of two people."

Not only in the ninja world, but also in the Warring States period before the Qin Dynasty in another world, the centuries-old feuds were wiped out by the inertia of unification.

"Therefore, to quell a war, one needs not only a goal, but also strong strength."

"In my opinion, your Akatsuki organization is the one most likely to realize the ideal of peace in the ninja world."

seeing is believing.

A screen of light appeared, revealing unimaginably tall buildings, strangely shaped iron boxes, and people living in peace and contentment. Although there were still small-scale wars, it was an unimaginable paradise for the ninja world.

Powerful military force, stable power, unwavering faith, and loyal partners.

The Akatsuki organization possessed everything it needed to unify the ninja world, but lacked guidance and direction, which ultimately led to its failure.

Hashirama Senju once had the opportunity, but unfortunately he lacked political acumen and chose to give it up.

The unification of the ninja world will inevitably lead to cultural unification.

Furthermore, it instilled a unified concept into everyone's minds, imprinting it on their thoughts and completely breaking the pattern of the war-torn era.

With the support of an excellent system and the technological products available in the Reincarnation Game Mall, peace can be achieved to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, this is still not a permanent peace, much less the answer to peace.

However, without external enemies, it was able to bring peace for thousands of years.

The path proposed by Fang Yi was like a bolt from the blue, shattering the gloom in Xiao Nan's heart.

Although many questions remain, it is as if a glimmer of light is seen in the fog, illuminating a rugged path amidst confusion and chaos.

"There is no permanent peace, but there is lasting peace?"

Chapter 30 The trial begins

"Although I didn't get the answer to peace, it did give me direction. Thank you."

Xiao Nan suppressed her excitement, her face full of sincerity, and bowed slightly in greeting.

This is not only her and Nagato's wish, but also the inheritance of Yahiko's will after his death.

The mysterious merchant's answer was not perfect, but it was undoubtedly a huge shock to the ninja world, which was full of desolation and war.

She was eager to tell Nagato the news, but she also knew what was important and what was urgent, and wanted to find out the root of the reincarnation game.

aside,

After experiencing the Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke felt his eye sockets were empty, having lost that captivating power.

"Is this the power that led you to betray us?"

Sasuke savored the powerful force he had felt, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

It certainly possesses enough power to destroy the world.

He was almost overwhelmed by Susanoo, feeling as if he could rival the Sage of Six Paths, until the mysterious merchant above him waved his hand to interrupt the flaming arrow he was shooting.

"If that's the case, Uchiha Itachi, you really are disgusting!"
