Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

"This is."

Looking at the information on the note, the image of Temari leaving just now suddenly flashed through Aburame Shiwei's mind.

Suddenly, I completely understood what the current situation was.

Shock and confusion lingered in Aburame Zhiwei's heart at the same time.

So, he fell into a long silence again.

"say."

Seeing that both subordinates were silent, Jiraiya tapped the table lightly, looked impatient, and urged.

"Yes"

Aburame Shiwei lowered her head.

I do not know what to say.

Previously, he had only been ordered to go to the Western Front for diplomatic matters, and he thought it was a simple job of conveying messages.

Unexpectedly, the important task of the intelligence network was added later, and step by step, it became deeper and deeper.

Now, standing side by side with Nara Shikaku, who is responsible for the diplomatic and intelligence work on the Eastern Front, he has become the first person in charge of the Western Front.

Just now, Lord Hokage's question was directed at two people.

But to Zhiwei's ears, it sounded like he was simply urging himself.

Just, talking?

Say, say what?

"What do you think?"

Seeing the two of them looking like this, Jiraiya continued to ask.

"Honestly, well, it's really shocking news."

Aburame Zhiwei, who was not good at speaking, had to bite the bullet and say what she thought:

"Before we left Sunagakure Ninja Village, we really didn't find any meaningful clues."

"In fact, on the contrary, Gaara at that time worked very hard and diligently every day."

Aburame Shiwei recalled and said:

"Privately, some team members are even discussing. Everyone believes that, given time, this child is likely to become the next fifth generation Kazekage."

"Don't talk about the past, talk about the future!"

Jiraiya impatiently interrupted Aburame Shiwei's words and asked.

Talk about it later? ?

Aburame Zhiwei was completely stunned.

What happens next

Since it happened in the future, how the hell could I possibly know?

"war."

On the side, Nara Shikaku, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head.

He spoke slowly and uttered two heavy words.

Chapter 201 Yuyin Ninja Village

Nara Shikaku's voice was not loud, but these two words were like thunder, resounding in everyone's heart.

Echoes for a long time.

"Tell me."

Jiraiya's face turned pale and he motioned for Nara Shikaku to continue.

"Yes."

Nara Shikaku bowed respectfully and said:

"Today, the balance of the ninja world we see is inherently fragile and short-lived.

"The Hidden Leaf Village was established only sixty years ago, but this world has already experienced three full-scale wars, and has been repeatedly ravaged by war and ninjas.

"In order to find the answer, I carefully searched and studied the war history of the entire ninja world, and finally came to this conclusion——

"I personally believe that the internal law behind the constant fighting between villages lies in the balance of the game between the two forces."

Nara Shikaku spoke calmly and clearly, and began his long-planned speech.

"Which two?"

Jiraiya looked at the other party with interest, expecting Shikaku to continue speaking.

"Economy and people's livelihood, and military strength."

The deer remained calm for a long time and said loudly:

“Without military protection, a peaceful life is like a mirror in the mirror.

"Without the development of people's livelihood, military strength cannot be sustained forever. In the end, it will only bring more deaths.

“To a certain extent, the two are mutually dependent on each other.

"However, when it comes to a specific country, due to limited resources, the two gradually evolve into a game relationship of one gaining while the other loses.

"When plundering can no longer continue, the original virtuous cycle of 'people's livelihood supports the military, and the military protects people's livelihood' will inevitably be broken.

“When the military expands, it will neglect production. If it indulges in peace, it will become weak.

"In the end, this dilemma will turn into an either-or political choice."

“Further reflected in the performance of the political system, it is the pendulum change of the two major cycles.

"That is, the military expansion period of the arms race, and the recuperative peace period of military contraction."

After a pause, Nara Shikaku's eyes flashed and he said loudly:

"How to reach a consensus with other countries and control every major country in the ninja world within the military contraction cycle and no longer take the initiative to jump out.

"This is the only way to peace!"

Ah, why have I never felt that the jar behind me has some weight?

On the side, Aburame Zhiwei felt drowsy after hearing this, and her mind was already wandering.

"continue."

Jiraiya showed no expression and motioned for Shikaku to continue.

He vaguely felt that he had been pursuing the secret of peace for many years.

It is hidden in the next words of the man with the pineapple hair in front of him.

After receiving the encouragement from the Hokage, Nara Shikaku's confidence increased greatly, and he was about to express the results of his thinking for many years:

“I think back then, during the first Five Kage Conference, our ancestor Senju Hashirama proposed to divide the tailed beasts evenly among several major countries.

“The purpose is to completely reduce the necessity of arms competition through the special power of tailed beasts.

"At that time, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, with his superhuman will and intimidation, forced all countries to enter a state of military contraction and rest.

“And, furthermore, trying to achieve eternal peace.”

Hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with excitement.

History is never taught in Ninja school.

The leaders of the ninja world never really cared about this matter.

In this world, only a few scattered scholars, relying on their inner interest and enthusiasm, can record and understand these things.

They collected original meeting materials with great difficulty and smelled the flavor of history in the fragments and traces of history.

Carefully piece together and restore the truth of the past.

Even so, it is difficult to distinguish which ones are real and which ones are fake.

Regarding the history of the first Five Kage Conference, although Jiraiya was a student of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he had also heard about it.

But the reasons, perspective, and summary of logical rules given by Nara Shikaku were interpretations that Jiraiya had never heard before.

It is really hard to imagine how much work this man in front of me has done privately for this matter.

For Jiraiya, "eternal peace" is his lifelong pursuit.

At this time, I clearly heard that the first Hokage had tried something similar, and I felt excited and proud.

When I think about my ideal, I realize that our predecessors had already been trying to achieve it sixty years ago.

Jiraiya's heart suddenly felt joyful that "I am not alone in my path."

But on the other side, a kind of sadness that "manpower cannot do anything" also surged up at the same time.

What the "God of Ninja" has never done, he, and Uchiha Sasuke, who has high hopes for him.

That kid, is he really okay?

Two completely opposite emotions filled and intertwined in Jiraiya's chest, making him eager to hear what Shikaku would continue.

"However, the tide of history has its own will."

Nara Shikaku's voice deepened and he continued:

"With the death of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama, the fragile balance he forcibly constructed was also broken.

"The power of the tailed beasts cannot stop the desire of various ninja villages to turn to military expansion. On the contrary, it only makes the war more tragic.

"At that time, the Second Hokage and the Second Raikage still upheld the concept of peace, but the fighting faction in the Hidden Cloud Village, represented by Kinkaku and Ginkaku, had begun to rise.

"At the same time, the second-generation Kazekage and the second-generation Tsuchikage, who were still slightly weak at the time, have directly entered the cycle of military expansion.

“Among them, the second-generation Kazekage Samana, relying on his super powerful personal ability, developed the skills of puppetry and sand manipulation alone.
