Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 107 Have you heard of the "trolley problem"? (Third update, please subscribe~)

At times like these, Nohara Rin would be in a little bit of trouble.

After all, she was the only girl in the group and couldn't take a bath with Mikami Yu and the others.

However, Nohara Rin has mastered the Water Clone technique and can use one of her water clones to keep watch, while Mikami Yu and the others only need to stand a little further away to help keep watch.

That evening.

Having completed their reconnaissance mission, Mikami Yu and the others arrived near the mountain stream. As agreed, it was Kakashi's turn to prepare food, while Nohara Rin bathed near the stream. Mikami Yu and Obito squatted on a high rock, looking around like two large lynxes.

"Hey, Yu."

Obito suddenly spoke up: "Tell me, why do ninjas fight wars?"

"?"

Yu Mikami paused slightly, turned to look at Obito, and confirmed that he wasn't just saying it casually, but was seriously discussing it with him: "You're asking me?"

No—this war has been going on for half a year, and you're only now thinking of asking this?

Besides, is this kind of topic something a mentally unstable person like you, a potential 2-year-old, should even be considering? You're not the kind of person who can think like a 7-year-old using "Naruto thinking" —

But I don't have anything to do right now, so I'm just killing time.

Yu Mikami thought for a moment and casually replied, "What else could it be? Of course, it's to compete for resources."

"resource?"

"Yes, the purpose of all wars is essentially to seize resources. These are either tangible things like land, money, and people, or abstract things like the power of discourse."

"Take this time for example. The Land of Wind, where Sunagakure is located, is in a desert area with a sparse population and scarce resources; while the Land of Fire is located in a plain area with abundant water and grass, and has money and people. Naturally, Sunagakure will feel psychologically unbalanced and then want to seize our land and resources."

Yu Mikami said.

The natural environment of the Land of Wind is indeed a bit harsh, but the territory is large enough that it should theoretically be rich in minerals such as gold and oil. It's a pity that Sunagakure doesn't know how to use them and has to wait for Rasa to make a move. — By the way, if he reports this information to Konoha now, can he get a reward?

the other side.

After listening to Mikami Yu's reply, Obito thought for a while and retorted, "If that's all there is to it, then we don't necessarily have to start a war. Can't we just sit down and discuss it properly?"

What do you mean by "just that"?

Mikami Yu chuckled, "Do you think everything can be negotiated? If your family owns a gold mine and someone's after it, wanting to kill and rob you, can't you talk to them properly? If you want to be Hokage, can't you talk to the Third Hokage and ask him to give you the position?"

"?"

Obito was taken aback: "How can that be the same?"

Why are they different?

Yu Mikami countered, "Land and resources are limited, just like there can only be one Hokage position, but many people want to get them, so there is only competition."

"Perhaps you are of good character and can compete fairly without resorting to underhanded tactics, but can you guarantee that others will do the same?"

Moreover, human greed is eternal; one always wants more, and once one has something, one desires something more. Since he could become Hokage, why not go further and annex the other ninja villages as well?

"What the hell? Isn't Takigakure our ally?"

Obito was dumbfounded once again.

"."

"Mikami Yu's lips twitched slightly: "It means you took it and still want it."

"oh----"

Obito scratched his head, a little confused: "Is it our fault that Konoha is located in a resource-rich area?"

"It's not a mistake, it's just always been this way."

Mikami Yu sighed: "It's like you feel that the Third Hokage didn't do a good enough job as Hokage and didn't deserve to continue serving, so you decided to remove him from office and take over yourself. Who's to blame then?"

"—I've already said I could never do something like that! And how could the Third Hokage not do it well!"

Obito was startled by Mikami Yu's disrespectful words and quickly waved his hands in denial.

That's the truth.

During this period, Obito had a high regard for the Hokage lineage and Hiruzen Sarutobi, and even admired him. In fact, to be fair, Hiruzen Sarutobi did a pretty good job during this term. Although there was the White Fang incident, the overall performance was more meritorious than flawed, a stark contrast to his second term, which was filled with blunders.

However, Obito seems to understand what Mikami Yu meant earlier.

But I don't quite understand.

After all, his virtue score was only 2, and his education level was practically illiterate. Thinking about these questions without standard answers was too complicated for him.

Yu Mikami didn't speak again, and looked up at the deep night sky.

Honestly—

He sometimes really hates this world.

Although Garagi is fun, his ninjutsu abilities are interesting, and Tsunade, Minato Namikaze, and others are friendly to him—all of this is predicated on him having a system.

Without the system, as an ordinary person from a common background, the probability of Mikami Yu dying in this Ninja World War would be at least 70-80%, if not 100%.

Broadly speaking, the five great ninja villages have been established for less than fifty years, and the Fourth Shinobi World War has already been fought three times. On average, there isn't even one complete set of parents for every two ninjas. The situation like Minato's team, which has both of them with complete parents, is extremely rare.

In this environment, it's not surprising at all that a few mentally ill people who want to take revenge on society occasionally pop up. On the contrary, normal people with sound values ​​are a rare minority.

certainly----

Some ninja clans do indeed have a remarkably high rate of mental illness.

After a while.

Obito raised his head again, no longer mentioning the issues of war and resources: "Yu, then tell me—for a ninja, which is more important, a mission or comrades?"

"6

Mikami Yu's lips twitched slightly: So you're giving him a test right here, huh?

"You actually wanted to talk about the 'White Fang of Konoha,' right?"

Instead of directly answering Obito's question, Mikami Yu asked first, "Speaking of which, didn't you ask Asuma about this a while ago, and later say you wanted to apologize to Kakashi? What did he say?"

"I did go to see Kakashi, but that guy got really agitated as soon as I mentioned his father's name and wouldn't listen to me at all. Honestly, it's infuriating!"

Obito looked displeased.

Ultimately, both Obito Uchiha and Kakashi are still just children in their early teens, and their thinking is not yet mature. Moreover, Kakashi at this stage is caught in an extreme mindset of prioritizing missions because of the death of his father, Sakumo Hatake, so his reaction is understandable.

Yu Mikami has no intention of getting involved in the great bond between Obito and Kakashi; it's a bit scary and not suitable for close inspection.

He thought for a moment, then casually asked, "Obito, have you ever heard of the trolley problem?"

"What is a tram?"
