Ignite the fire from the pirates

But in just over four years...

With Uchiha Shisui as the captain of the Anbu, Uchiha Obito having the Mangekyō Sharingan and being the disciple of the Hokage, he completely gained the support of the Uchiha clan after the Uchiha fighting faction disappeared quietly.

Later, with the help of the Uchiha En attack, he used the power of the Kage for the first time to make the Root lose its law enforcement power, causing Danzo to lose his position as the Hokage's advisor again.

Three advisors, get rid of one.

According to the teacher at the Ninja School, after the big stick is swung, it is time to give sweet rewards.

The sweet treat for the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was the vacant position of Hokage advisor.

The high-ranking person who could actually participate in the village's decision-making was given to Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan.

From before he succeeded Hokage to after he succeeded Hokage, he showed his strength in those two events and told everyone that he was willing to give.

Even though Hyuga Hiashi's position became unclear later on, it did not immediately deprive him of what he should have gained from his earlier stance.

A puff of smoke was exhaled.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts continued, and the next thing that came to his mind was Namikaze Minato's understanding of politics. The change was really huge.

Not just what you just thought.

The most crucial thing is the so-called history class which is feared by the daimyo and terrified by the nobles.

Now it seems that the name "Ideology Course" that was first proposed at the meeting four years ago should be a more appropriate one.

The thoughts of the ninjas, who had always been educational tools, were transformed and now seemed to have their own ideas.

More than four years ago, among the students in that class, only Uchiha Itachi graduated early.

Although he is only eleven years old, he already has the strength of a jonin, and has even awakened the power mentioned in the intelligence... called Haki!

"Third generation sir."

Minato's voice sounded, and then continued: "Perhaps you have not listened carefully to the knowledge taught in history class. If you listened carefully, I think you would never have so many anxious doubts."

Sarutobi Hiruzen tightened his grip on his pipe.

This sentence is not explicit, but it is already a rejection.

"Minato, the village cannot survive without the support of the Fire Country Daimyo."

Minato shook his head slightly, "Sandaime-sama, can you tell me...what is needed to maintain the village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not pause for a moment and directly replied, "Mission commissions. Only with sufficient mission commissions can the village continue to survive, can we get paid, and can we have money to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation for the entire village."

"The village needs to develop, and the ninjas also need food and all the supplies that ordinary people need. Without the support of the Fire Country Daimyo, the operation of Konoha will even stop! We..."

Before he could finish his words, Minato Namikaze interrupted him.

"The mission is to provide work, and then get paid for the work. With the pay, you can buy a series of necessities of life."

"So where do the most basic supplies such as food, cotton, cloth, and even the ration pills, detonating tags, and chakra metals needed by ninjas come from?"

"Everything comes from the grassroots of this world, from those ordinary people who are regarded as the bottom by nobles and ninjas and are unable to refine chakra."

"Third-sama, what do you think... Why was there constant conflict and strife in this world during the Warring States Period, and after the first-sama founded the Ninja Village Era, the conflict evolved into a large-scale war between the various Ninja Villages?"

The first part is the hint given by Minato Namikaze, and the second part is the questions given.

But obviously, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who only occasionally went to the Ninja School to listen in the early days, was unable to connect the two.

Upon hearing this, he immediately gave the standard answer of this world.

"The distrust between people led to conflicts, which in turn turned into hatred between surnames, and the hatred fermented into wars between the major ninja villages."

"Hatred is the cause of war."

After he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze did not laugh.

Because he had the same idea in the past.

This is the standard answer in this world. Everyone only thinks of the first level... hatred.

Minato Namikaze remembered a question his teacher asked a few years ago.

Now, he asked the same question to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"According to the documents, the First-Daimyo put aside his dignity as the God of Ninja to facilitate the Five Kage Summit and capture the nine tailed beasts for distribution."

"During the meeting, the first Kage of the Sand Village stated that since the Sand Village already has the One-Tailed Shukaku, they are not eager for the Tailed Beast."

"Because the Wind Country is mostly desert and lacks resources, it needs a fertile land."

Namikaze Minato looked directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Then are you willing, Third-sama, to cede the land of the Land of Fire to facilitate this peace?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and thought for a long time.

Although this issue has occurred in the past and is a fact recorded in literature, it is now just a question.

Communication resolves disputes. This was the reason why ninjas were at peace when the first generation was alive.

So after thinking it over again and again, he nodded.

"The land of the Wind Country is barren. If we want the people and the ninja village to be able to fill their stomachs, then the demand for land is necessary."

"Sincere communication can resolve disputes and avoid the outbreak of war. I believe the Fire Country Daimyo will agree..."

Once again, he was interrupted before he could finish his words.

Namikaze Minato said: "Then by ceding the land, the people of Wind Country and the ninjas of Sand Village will not starve. The living problems will be solved, and the war that was about to break out will be avoided."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "This is the best outcome..."

Namikaze Minato: "And then? Then in a peaceful environment, the older generation will still be alive, and the younger generation will begin to reproduce. The number of ninjas in Sand Village and ordinary people in the Kingdom of Wind will grow explosively as they accumulate from generation to generation."

"The increase in population will make food scarce again. In this case, what choice will Sunagakure make?"

What to choose...

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had served as Hokage for many years, knew this very well.

With the precedent of obtaining land without bloodshed, the Sand Village will definitely find Konoha again as soon as possible to obtain another piece of land in the Land of Fire.

In this case, will Konoha agree or not? Will the Fire Country Daimyo agree or not?

"Perhaps... through communication... the others..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about the possibilities intermittently, but could not think of any solution.

In the end... the only standard answer left is communication.

But the standard answer is not necessarily correct.

Namikaze Minato continued: "Without war there is no death, without conflict there is no hatred, but the instinct of life to reproduce cannot be stopped."

"Fertile land is limited. From the initial couple, the average person will separate after their children have started their own families. After two generations and forty years, how much arable land will each child have?"

"Hunger... is the source of everything."

“Without resources, there is no solution to war.”

For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood there in a daze.

What Namikaze Minato explained is not just about the Wind Country and Sand Village used as examples.

The difference in thoughts and ways of thinking made Sarutobi Hiruzen seem to see something different, but he could never grasp it.

After thinking for a long time, he agreed with the last two sentences.

But what does this have to do with canceling history classes?

"Minato, these ideas do not need to be known by ordinary people. Except for management, ordinary people knowing these will only become the source of chaos."

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued in a deep voice: "History class... No, ideological class cannot be stopped. But there is no need to face the entire village and those ordinary people."

"It is enough to teach the high-level officials, so that the village can be made stronger and more prosperous to the greatest extent."

"Recreate the greatness of Konoha when the first Hokage was still alive, and make the village even the strongest. Peace will come again like it did back then..."

Namikaze Minato shook his head slightly.

“Hunger makes people fearless.”

"With scarce resources, there is no solution to war. Even if Konoha becomes the strongest, it still only relies on force to squeeze the living space of other villages."

"The longer peace lasts, the more conflicts will accumulate within the various countries and villages, and as soon as the restraints are lost, a huge war will break out."

Having said this, Minato Namikaze stood up.

"Technology is the primary productive force. There aren't many ninjas in this world. The real majority are the ordinary people who form the foundation."

"Only by solving the problem of food can we solve the problems of morality and world outlook, values ​​and values. Only by awakening the people's minds can we make life equal."

"Only by overthrowing those high and mighty nobles can the people usher in the dawn of the world."

"squeak……"

The door was pushed open, and Namikaze Minato turned around and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I suggest that the Third-generation master can go to the Ninja School to audit the ideological class like me."

……

One night passed.

The messenger of Kumogakure was imprisoned, the base of Root was taken over, and all Root ninjas went to the Anbu organization directly under the Fourth Hokage to gradually erase the curse seal in a domineering manner.

The ninjas who were originally from the Root were receiving treatment in the Anbu.

The notice in front of the Hokage building also recounted the events of the previous night, and also looked into the crimes that the Root had committed in the past.

Among them, the Ninja Armor with Wood Release Techniques received special attention and became effective evidence for the Root to continue researching Wood Release Techniques after the ban.

……

Three days later, in the torture cell.

At this time, Danzo Shimura no longer had the calmness and composure he had as a senior executive in the past, and he seemed to be on the verge of going crazy.

"Your persistence is meaningless."

Yamanaka Inoichi, who came in to provide support, loosened his hands from the seals and his consciousness withdrew from Danzo's mind.

"You are crazy enough to place a curse on your own brain."

Danzo raised his head slightly in the shadows: "The Yamanaka Clan who possesses the secret technique should know the significance of the existence of the roots. There are too many secrets in my mind. You may not be qualified to know."

Yamanaka Haiyi frowned and thought of the child in the tribe.

The genius who could perform the heart-replacing technique with puppets was taken away by the Root under orders from the top before he could grow up.

After that, he disappeared without a trace, and like the one from the Aburame clan, he became an emotionless tool.

On the night four days ago, Yamanaka Kaze, who was also a member of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, was able to attack the Nara clan's Anbu without hesitation, which already explains a lot.

tool……

Ninjas are also human beings, and as human beings they have emotions, including joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Spiritual will is the most precious wealth of mankind, and no one can decide the fate of others privately in this way.

"You underestimate the Hokage-sama."

Danzo did not refute what Yamanaka Inoichi said, because he had also witnessed the power of Uchiha Shisui called Haki.

As the Kage of Konoha, Namikaze Minato's domineering aura will only be more powerful than Uchiha Shisui.

And Haki...seems to naturally restrain chakra.

"boom!"

With all the meridians in his body cut off and unable to extract even a bit of chakra, Danzo held the prison door with one hand.

"You can't keep doing this!"

"Minato Namikaze will destroy all of Konoha!"

"Only me! Only I can lead Konoha to continue to be great! Only I have the qualifications to become the Kage!"

"I am the disciple of the Second Hokage. I am a more talented ninja than Sarutobi Hiruzen! I am the Dark Lord of Konoha. I have done many, many things for Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head slightly: "These cannot be your reasons for betraying the village. Human experiments, research on wood escape, and plundering the bloodline of other ninja clans in the village are all taboos!"

Danzo slammed his fist on the cell door.

Despite the huge noise, Yamanaka Inoichi and Morino Ibiki still showed no reaction.

"What do you know? You know nothing!"
