Ignite the fire from the pirates

Ordinary people gaining power seems to be no different from the integration of ninja clans into ninja villages from the Warring States Period to the present day, which has led to the expansion of the scale of war.

Orochimaru and Kevin looked at each other: "Can I ask... why it was me?"

Kevin replied in a deep voice: "The cause of the war was not hatred in the beginning, but resources. And technology is the primary productive force."

science and technology……

Just this one sentence made Orochimaru stunned, and Tsunade and Jiraiya beside him were also confused.

For them, such a simple sentence contains too much information.

Wars are not originally caused by hatred...

Yes, what was the reason in the beginning?

During the Warring States Period, there were constant conflicts between ninja clans. Small-scale conflicts triggered large-scale wars. Those who died in the wars included relatives and friends, and hatred accumulated.

But was the initial conflict really due to hatred?

“What a novel answer.”

Orochimaru regained his composure, "Then... I'll stay."

"Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya and Tsunade spoke at the same time.

However, Orochimaru ignored the two of them, and without any precautions, he passed Kevin directly.

The next moment, the red thunder that bound Tsunade and Jiraiya dissipated.

Kevin looked at the two of them and said, "How about you... just surrender?"

The indifferent voice made Jiraiya and Tsunade feel nervous.

The power displayed by the opponent in the previous conflict, coupled with the remnant of domineering aura, has already made them terrified of Kevin's ultimatum.

However, Jiraiya absolutely did not want to let Orochimaru stay like this. The bond in his heart made him impulsively perform hand seals even though he knew he could not win.

"Shh."

Kevin suddenly appeared in front of him and punched him lightly in the abdomen.

"puff……"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Jiraiya's figure flew backwards, hitting the rock and sliding down.

"Space-time... cough cough cough!"

Coughing violently, Jiraiya struggled to stand up.

Kevin: "Once the seeds are planted, no one can stop the flames of revolution. Under the general trend, the awakening thoughts of the people who have been oppressed for thousands of years will inevitably pull down those who were high and mighty in the past."

"Jiraiya... do you think that peace can be achieved through conversation and sincerity? You are one of Konoha's three ninjas. If you continue to disobey my advice, I will kill you."

Kevin turned and prepared to leave.

"What the revolution needs is Orochimaru's knowledge, and what the world needs is also his knowledge. Peace is not something that can be achieved over a dinner party. It requires...bloodshed."

Kevin disappeared again, put his hand on Orochimaru's shoulder, and disappeared in an instant.

……

After a fierce battle, Jiraiya, who was exhausted by the combined efforts of the five men, was arrested, and Tsunade escaped.

However, it is obvious that Jiraiya and Tsunade, who are also three ninjas, did it intentionally to some extent.

They wanted to rescue Orochimaru.

Yes, to some extent, it seemed that Orochimaru really had to accept the gentleman's invitation just because he wanted to save both of their lives and his own.

In order to rescue Orochimaru, Jiraiya was captured, and Tsunade's return to report the news became a temporary plan.

"Yahiko, Yahiko."

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Jiraiya smiled and looked at the shackles that fixed his hands so that he couldn't make hand seals: "I haven't seen you for a few years. You three have grown taller. Hmm... Nagato is still a little short."

These words almost made Nagato, who was usually not talkative, explode.

Konan said a few words of comfort and walked directly beside Jiraiya: "Teacher Jiraiya, do you want to ask Sensei?"

Jiraiya said with a smile: "Konan is getting prettier and smarter. Unlike these two, they only grow taller but not smarter."

These words made Yahiko furious, but he was stopped by Nagato who had recovered.

Konan sighed helplessly and said, "Teacher Jiraiya may stay in the Rain Country for a while. Your school will not prohibit anyone from attending classes. In addition, after the first graduation, more than 30 students will be scattered all over the place to start teaching. Your thoughts... will become the spark of the Rain Country."

Thoughts? Sparks?

Jiraiya thought of a church he had visited in the past when he traveled to the Land of Hot Springs. Could it be the same thing?

And classmates... So it seems that Yahiko and the other two became disciples of this teacher after separating from me?

First come, first served. How could I, the former teacher, be inferior to the later one?

Jiraiya quickly pulled his thoughts back to their original state and asked, "What did this gentleman teach you? The Haki he just mentioned? It's very similar to Taijutsu, but can ordinary people without chakra really learn it?"

Xiaonan nodded: "Haki comes from the spirit and will. With a firm spirit and will, both the physique and the Haki will be greatly enhanced. Unlike ninjutsu, it does not require the refinement of chakra, nor does it require the formation of seals to release ninjutsu."

"But sir, you didn't teach us Haki. What you have been teaching us all along is to awaken our own thoughts... and to open our minds."

Enlighten your mind?

Another new word.

But why does it sound like teaching reading and writing? To open up one's mind?

Jiraiya was confused.

And Xiaonan continued to explain: "The so-called enlightenment is to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and to look at every event with dialectical thinking. Only by enlightenment can one understand the inside story of all the big and small events in the history of the ninja world."

"What is on the surface is what the political leaders want us to see. But if we look at it dialectically, we will get another answer, which is also the secret and the truth."

After the words fell, Jiraiya seemed to understand something, but also felt that he understood nothing.

Secrets and truth?

history?

What is this all about?

and many more……

Unlike ordinary people, Jiraiya is a disciple of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and to some extent is even a candidate for the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

With this identity, he is already one of the top leaders.

What they can see and understand is different from the lower levels of Konoha.

Before this, Konoha White Fang committed suicide because of a mission. What he knew about the inside story was very different from what ordinary Konoha ninjas knew.

After the First Hokage, the Second Hokage was the First's younger brother, and the Third Hokage was the Second's apprentice...

Under this convention, coupled with the fact that the name of Konoha White Fang was well-known in the ninja world, the teacher was getting older, and someone had to be held responsible for the losses in the war.

The louder the shout, the faster the death?

Although that mission was important, it was just a mission failure, and it was for the purpose of saving people. In any case, it should not have caused such a big impact.

Because the more important the mission, the more secretive it is.

All the accusations at the time did not specify what the specific tasks were.

"Enlightenment..."

Jiraiya muttered, at this moment he was becoming more and more curious about the lectures that the gentleman was teaching.

At this time, Yahiko on the side clenched his fist.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I have found the true path to peace here, and I can see clearly how I should proceed in the future."

"Thinking back now, my past naivety was really as foolish as a dream. There are too many forces and interests involved behind each of the five major countries. It is just a dream to think that talking to resolve disputes is a fantasy."

"Without force, no one will sit down and listen to you. Without resources, if you don't fight, you will die. There is no reason to speak of that."

"The first Hokage facilitated the first Five Kage Summit and distributed the tailed beasts. The Ninja World has been at peace for many years, but this was not due to conversation... but force."

Jiraiya frowned upon hearing this, "Force cannot solve all problems Yahiko, and war will only increase hatred."

Nagato at the side said at this time: "But the real core issue is still not hatred, right? Between the five major countries, the resources represented by interests are far more likely to cause war than hatred."

Jiraiya paused.

resource……

It seems to be true.

"Nagato, you've become more talkative."

Nagato exhaled, "If it weren't for this, I would be able to become a lecturer now and teach those who came after me."

……

Chapter 333: In the absence of resources, war is unsolvable

Outside the school of the Land of Rain, Orochimaru took a second look at the machinery placed on the training ground.

Is Haki the same as Taijutsu?

Constant training is needed to break your own limits in order to gain speed and strength.

But...what is that black substance covering the body, and the ability to sense attacks from all sides and avoid them?

Except for the three children taught by Jiraiya a few years ago, no one, including the person in front of him, could sense the existence of chakra.

"With frequent wars, the accumulation of hatred and the change of world views, it has become a rule that ninjas must complete their missions. So too, as far as I know, most ninjas have many problems with their world views."

Kevin walked forward on his own: "Doubt has become your instinct, but you have never doubted the rules of this world."

"squeak……"

The wooden door of the office was pushed open.

Orochimaru said, "Surprisingly...very simple."

Kevin pulled out a book from the bookshelf: "In a place that enlightens the people, being able to shelter from the wind and rain is enough. But scientific research must be perfect."

Kevin said as he handed the book to Orochimaru.

When he took it, his hand also reached out.

Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly, but he found that no matter what he did, he could not avoid the hand that was simply extended in front of him.

This kind of oppressive feeling is not murderous intent, it is just murderous intent. With his experience over the years, it is impossible for him to be completely crushed to death.

"If you don't believe it, you can try it for yourself."

"Snapped."

When that hand touched Orochimaru, the seeds of another power system were planted.

But Orochimaru didn't feel anything different inside his body.

“So it takes determination?”

Orochimaru smiled and looked down at his hands: "But... I haven't figured out what I want. I see the fragility of life, so I want to learn all the ninjutsu and find a way to be less fragile."

"Immortality... what you said is indeed very likely to become my future goal. But at the moment... it is not."

Orochimaru turned to look at Kevin and licked his lips: "Ability? The ability to see the future of this world? Or... are you from the future?"

As he finished speaking, Orochimaru stared at Kevin.

It seemed as if he wanted to get the answer to the question he had just asked from his expression.

“Not exactly, but close.”

Kevin's voice was calm, and he didn't seem to care about it.

After reaching out and tapping the book, Kevin continued, "If you can't figure it out, this book may be able to give you the answer. Strength is a sharp blade, but where the blade strikes requires the mind to guide the direction."

"direction?"

Orochimaru opened the book in his hand, and the title of the first page was: [Why does war exist? ]
