The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Take the Land of Wind as an example. After so many years of peace, the population has exploded, and the need for food has also increased.

The Land of Wind's food production is completely insufficient, while the Land of Fire has abundant food supplies. What should be done?

Yahiko immediately said, "The Land of Fire can sell its surplus grain to the Land of Wind."

Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow, realizing that Yahiko didn't understand him at all, and then explained:

"Resources include wealth; you may not understand what I mean."

The Land of Wind is currently lacking everything; there's no food and no money to buy anything.

Upon hearing this, Yahiko paused for a moment, scratched his head in frustration, thought for a long time, and then weakly said:

"If the Fire Kingdom wants to avoid war, it can also allocate its surplus grain to the Wind Kingdom."

......

Uchiha Tonan then realized that the guy in front of him was being ridiculously naive.

How could someone so grown up say such childish things?

"Why should I?"

Just like the grain in my field, it is something I grow with great effort every day, braving the wind and sun.

I can sell the surplus grain I earn through my own labor and use it to buy some decent clothes for my family.

If I'm just going to give it up for no reason, then why should I work so hard next year? I might as well just grow enough food for my family.

Anyway, doing more work is pointless.

Once that happens.

Next year, the Land of Wind will still be poor, while the Land of Fire will be just enough to be self-sufficient.

"Then what should we do?"

"I......"

Uchiha Tonan's words left Yahiko speechless.

A qualified villain must be able to outwit everyone else when it comes to verbal sparring.

why?

Because villains are all ambitious and idealistic, they have substance in their hearts, and they can talk endlessly.

Those who shout about destroying the world and only know how to kill do not deserve to be called villains.

They can only be described as pathetic creatures driven mad by life and suffering.

There are far too many pitiful creatures like this in this world.

Uchiha Tonan glanced at Nagato and Konan, who looked completely bewildered, and thought he'd just say a few words to them and be done with it.

He immediately let out a heavy sigh, patted Yahiko on the shoulder, and said:

"Understanding can't put food on the table."

Yahiko lowered his head, clutching the hem of his clothes with both hands, and said in a deep voice:

"But don't you think war is too cruel?"

So many people died, especially civilians; there was simply no way to prevent it.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Nagato and Konan lowered their heads, their faces showing sadness.

How could Uchiha Tonan be influenced by them? He immediately shouted:

"wrong!

They could have completely avoided it.

They just don't want to.

I know you are all from the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain has been in constant turmoil since the Warring States period.

If people are afraid of war, why don't they move away?

Haven't you thought about that?

The three of them exchanged a glance.

Yahiko then looked at Uchiha Tonan with a solemn expression and said:

"Because this is my hometown."

Uchiha Tonan scoffed, pointed his finger twice at the ground, and said sharply:

"Because you can get enough to eat here, and if you take a chance, you can make it big."

Have you read the book? Do you know that the population of the Rain Country skyrockets towards the end of a war?

Do you know how many civilians migrate to the Land of Rain every year?

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them looked on incredulously.

"Why? Aren't they afraid of dying?"

Uchiha Tonan grabbed Yahiko by the collar and brought his head close, saying:

"There is plenty of rainfall here and the climate is warm."

The grains are harvested three times a year, and the river is teeming with fish and shrimp.

Even if there is only one able-bodied person in a family, it is enough to ensure that the whole family does not starve.

These conditions are excellent.

For ordinary people, this place is simply paradise.

To die in war is only a possibility.

But without food, death is certain.

Risks and opportunities coexist, and it is a process of mutual competition.

Clearly, for most people, the opportunities here far outweigh the risks.

When Yahiko first heard such profound truth, he felt as if his worldview was about to collapse, and his pupils trembled incessantly.

"How could this be...? This can't be real..."

Uchiha Tonan slammed Yahiko heavily onto the bridge.

Nagato and Konan quickly jumped down from the railing and helped Yahiko up, one on each side.

But then Uchiha Tonan climbed down from the railing and looked down at the three of them, saying:

"Let me tell you, there are plenty of places without war."

Did you know that the western region of the Land of Wind has never experienced war since the Warring States period?

But there was almost no one there.

why?

Because the area is arid year-round, with sandstorms everywhere, it's impossible for people to survive there.

Do you know how a large number of people die in the Land of Wind every year?

He ate sand and swelled up to death.

They died with their fingers stuck in their mouths.

Because the sand was too dry to swallow, I had to keep poking it with my fingers.

"It's truly pitiful that they can't even find soil with a little moisture to eat."

"So... the meaning of war... is just plunder...?"

Yahiko's voice gradually weakened, and he looked completely lost and dejected.

Suddenly, Yahiko seemed to remember something, raised his head, and said with a determined look:

"No, if war is only for plunder."

However, the Land of Fire always wins the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Other countries didn't manage to loot much either, yet they still survived.

Uchiha Tonan chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"Of course it's not just about plunder; the truth behind it is far more brutal than you can imagine."

There used to be two people, but there was only enough food for one of them.

Now that one person has died on the battlefield, will there be enough food to eat?

Upon hearing this, all three of them were struck dumb and collapsed to the ground.

"how so......"

"How could they do this?"

"Is the purpose of war simply to make comrades die?"

........

Uchiha Tonan slowly squatted down, putting his left arm around Konan's shoulder and his right arm around Nagato's shoulder, and leaned close to the three of them, speaking in a deep voice:

"This world is cruel; it's survival of the fittest."

If there are no external wars, then internal strife will break out in the country.

Once order is disrupted, it is far more terrifying than war; that is hell on earth.

Take my advice: read more books when you have free time.

Don't just look at the results; think about the reasons behind them.

Don't assume everyone else is stupid.

Most group behaviors are based on objective reasons.

The only solution is to address the objective issues, rather than trying to change their subjective opinions.
