Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

After thinking for a long time, Yahiko said, "The First Great War was because the First Hokage died, and no one in the ninja world could hold the fort."

"The Second World War ended with the death of the Second Hokage in the Land of Lightning, which brought trust between nations to an all-time low."

Hearing these superficial answers, Haneda silently shook his head.

Chapter 97 The Path to Peace (Part 2)

"There are too many ninjas, resources are not distributed evenly, and the average income of ninjas has decreased, forcing them to do more missions to make a living."

"But the number of missions in each country is limited. Once the domestic ones are finished, the only option left is to do the international ones to make a living."

"For example, the nobles of the Land of Wind like to have Konoha ninjas take on missions."

"This behavior exacerbated the conflict between ninja villages. Coupled with the uneven distribution of resources among the countries and the existing hatred, war broke out."

"Think about it, the Land of Fire is vast and rich in resources. Its grain production alone can supply several neighboring countries."

"For example, the Land of Waves is located by the sea and has many mountains, so it has insufficient arable land. However, it can rely on importing food from the Land of Fire to sustain the lives of its people."

"Take the Land of Rain for example. It has almost no arable land, but it still feeds almost the entire population."

"The Land of Wind is full of yellow sand and is barren."

"The land of earth is mostly yellow soil, and there is not much land suitable for cultivation."

"The Land of Lightning is mountainous, and its arable land is even more insufficient."

"As for the water-rich countries overseas, they are often foggy, lack sufficient sunshine, and have insufficient food production."

"Think about it carefully, with such a big piece of meat like the Land of Fire right in front of you, who wouldn't want to take a bite?"

Yahiko and the other two listened thoughtfully, but then a question arose in their minds.

"Haneda, hasn't Konoha won every war? Why do wars still break out?" Yahiko asked.

“You’ve got one thing wrong, Yahiko. There are no winners in war.”

Haneda said calmly.

He took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said:

"Going back to the beginning, it's about the number of ninjas and the number of missions."

"The number of missions in each country does not change much from year to year, and the demand is only so much."

"When war breaks out, the number of ninjas in each country will decrease significantly, which means that there will be more missions available to ninjas, and there may even be an overabundance of missions."

“In this situation, the ninjas naturally won’t have to worry about making a living. Each country can carry out its own missions, which reduces conflicts and tensions.”

"Furthermore, the major ninja villages were even less likely to wage war in order to recuperate, so a brief period of peace ensued."

"But the uneven distribution of resources still exists. That is, the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, the Land of Thunder, and the Land of Water all want a piece of the Land of Fire."

"In this way, an arms war was launched invisibly."

"In order to develop themselves, the major ninja villages train more ninjas so that they can militarily surpass other major powers and thus invade."

"And other ninja villages, for their own safety, had no choice but to follow suit."

"The result of this is that the number of ninjas is growing rapidly, while the average income level is declining."

"In order to make a living, the lower-ranking ninjas have to do more missions, while the higher-ranking ninjas want the village to develop and try to launch an invasion. So the two sides hit it off and the war broke out."

"This is the underlying logic, and it has nothing to do with the outcome of the war."

When Haneda finished speaking, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato were all stunned.

The story involves low-ranking ninjas taking missions to make a living, unequal resource distribution, and high-ranking ninjas wanting the village to develop...

They can understand individual words, but when they're put together, they get confused.

To be honest, it's really difficult to explain these things to a group of people who study murder.

Just like liberal arts students studying science, physical education students sit in the classroom to study.

Although they couldn't understand it, they were still deeply moved.

Moreover, the more I pondered Haneda's words, the more I realized that Haneda was absolutely right.

As long as this underlying logic exists, war is inevitable!

Just like the current standoff between Sunagakure and Konoha on the border of the Land of Rain.

On the surface, it was the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, but in reality, the Daimyo had cut military spending and increased the number of ninjas. In order to alleviate domestic conflicts, the Sunagakure leadership had no choice but to launch a war.

Incidentally, the war also serves to select and establish the prestige of the Fourth Kazekage.

"Then how can we end the war completely and achieve peace?" Yahiko asked Haneda with utmost seriousness, looking into his eyes.

"As I said before, if there is a unified written language and standardized cart tracks, as long as there is only one country, war will not break out; only secondary conflicts will occur," Haneda said.

Yahiko felt that there was almost no hope of unifying the ninja world.

He desperately wanted peace in the ninja world, so he pleaded again:

"Isn't there any other way, Haneda?"

Haneda said, "Like the First Generation, the distribution of weapons of mass destruction would deter countries from launching wars."

"But the key issue is that the ninja world does not have any lethal weapons that would make all countries wary of each other. Not to mention the tailed beasts, the tailed beasts are nothing at all."

"However, if this happens, large countries will have lethal weapons while small countries will not, and the struggle between countries will then be played out in the small countries."

"Local wars still exist, but their scope has shrunk considerably."

Another unrealistic idea...

Yahiko sighed. Both of Haneda's methods made perfect sense, but reality was unavoidable...

hey~

It can only be said that dreams are something that can only be hoped for but not reached.

But is this really the case?

Yahiko's gaze fell on Nagato, whose Sage Eyes were the prophesied child that even Jiraiya believed in.

Yahiko clenched his fist and smiled confidently:

"As long as you can see the road clearly, and the road still exists, you will definitely reach the end!"

After speaking, he turned his gaze back to Haneda:

"Thank you, Haneda. You have shown me the path to peace."

Haneda smiled faintly.

He hadn't said many things yet, but he had already hinted at them; it's just that Yahiko and the others didn't seem to catch it.

Even if the ninja world is at peace, conflicts will still break out.

As long as the ninja system still exists.

This conflict will manifest as a clash between ordinary people and ninjas.

But what do all these things have to do with me?

Compared to Yahiko's dream of achieving peace in the ninja world, Haneda's dream was simply to protect the people he wanted to protect.

Seeing Yahiko's sunny, cheerful, and positive attitude, Konan and Nagato sincerely believed that he would definitely achieve peace in the ninja world.

Haneda is undoubtedly a beacon of peace.

…………

【drop! Yahiko's favor +13]

【drop! Yahiko's favor +15]

【drop! Xiaonan’s favorable impression +17]

[Ding! Nagato's favorability +12]

……

[The host's affinity with Yahiko has reached 141, gaining 0.3 chakra, Chunin-level Water Release understanding, Water Release: Water Chaos Wave, and partial Rinnegan power.]

[The host's affinity with Konan has reached 123, and the host has gained 0.2 chakra and experience in developing the Paper Release technique.]

[The host's affinity with Nagato has reached 89, and the host has gained 0.6 chakra and a portion of the Rinnegan's power.]

(Note: The Rinnegan's ocular power is of higher quality than the Sharingan's ocular power and can be used to promote the evolution of the Sharingan.)

Is it possible for Yahiko to also obtain the power of the Rinnegan?

Does turning a corpse into a "Super Brother" figure count?

Haneda ignored Konan and looked directly at Nagato, who had the lowest favorability but offered good returns.

He secretly guessed that at least half of the reason for Nagato's increased favorability was because of Yahiko and Konan.

The combination of liking the house and its inhabitants, along with the theories he presented, led to an increase in goodwill.

It has to be said that it's incredibly difficult to get into the heart of a shy, autistic boy.
