Ignite the fire from the pirates

"Even this time, we went to Konoha in the name of signing a peace agreement. The fundamental reason was not only to get the approval of the Daimyo Mansion, but also to obtain the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."

The Fourth Raikage frowned and said, "So you are here to punish Konoha on behalf of the enemy?"

Heishan shook his head slightly: "We came here just to tell you something about the nature of this world. Secret techniques and blood inheritance, the Cloud Village is most likely preparing for war, right?"

"Then can you tell me, does Kumogakure want to start a war? Or does it want to use the power of various secret techniques to prevent Kumogakure from being the victim in the war?"

The Fourth Raikage was a little surprised.

Because this kind of question... doesn't seem to be something that should be asked by the enemy in this kind of situation.

But he still answered: "The ability of the Byakugan plays a powerful role in reconnaissance during war. No one likes war, but if we don't prepare, more people will die in the next war."

"This world has been like this since the Warring States Period. Strong military force can protect families and villages. As for those who died..."

Before he could finish his words, Nagato, who was behind Kuroyama, interrupted him.

"But the war is still going on, isn't it? Even if it's a victorious war, many people will still die."

Nagato exhaled, "My parents died at the hands of Konoha ninjas. Although there was also a conspiracy by this guy, I did become an orphan because of the war."

"I was very angry at that time. But now... I can't be angry anymore."

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage asked in confusion: "The continuation of hatred... You have the power you have now, enough to take revenge on Konoha, is it because your master stopped you?"

Nagato shook his head slightly.

"Not really. You have always been responsible for imparting knowledge. You would use real historical events as examples to teach us how to see the essence of things."

The Fourth Raikage: "Essence?"

Nagato: "The Second Ninja World War broke out, and the ninjas of Konoha were on a mission in the Land of Rain. Because of hunger, they chose a house that seemed to have been vacant for a long time."

"My parents were afraid of war. After all, not every ninja would abide by the rule of not attacking civilians. So they prepared to leave secretly while the ninjas were looking for food."

"The Konoha ninjas who were alarmed immediately thought it was an ambush by the enemy. Ordinary people who had no power were naturally killed in one blow."

"Afterwards, I wandered for a long time, and ordinary people didn't lend me a helping hand. Yahiko and Konan took me in, Sensei took us in, and Sensei Jiraiya chose to teach us."

"The ninjas of Konoha killed my parents, but it was also the ninjas of Konoha who taught us ninjutsu and gave us the strength to survive."

"Do you think I still hate you? Or have you given up on revenge?"

The Fourth Raikage was introduced into the problem;

After a while, he replied: "Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, probably didn't know that your parents died at Konoha's ninjas when he was teaching you? In that case..."

Nagato interrupted him again: "This is just an excuse I made for myself. And if it was revenge, I would have killed those three Konoha ninjas on that day."

"And now...shouldn't the one I should really avenge be the war? The war allowed the ninjas of Konoha to break in, the war made my parents like frightened birds, and the war turned everything into black and white."

After hearing this, the Fourth Raikage understood.

He looked at the three people in front of him.

"Your goal... is to end the war?"

"Heh... a few decades ago, there was a person who had the same idea as you, and he created a new era and brought peace to the entire ninja world for many years."

"But you have seen the final result. He failed. The peace after the Ninja Village System was only established under his title of Ninja God."

"Not long after the death of the first Hokage, the war broke out. And because the power of the ninja village was concentrated, the scale of the war was much larger than that of the Warring States Period."

"Everyone has desires, and when people gather together as a country, desires become everyone's goal. Conflicts lead to wars, wars lead to hatred, and hatred will continue from generation to generation."

"That's why, after the war ended, I started preparing for the next war. There is no peace in this world...

Nagato denied it, "You don't realize the essence of war."

The Fourth Raikage sneered disdainfully: "The essence of what I saw is clearer than you. Even the First Hokage was only able to delay the war because of his own strength."

"Do you know how long it took for the First Ninja World War to be fought against the Second Ninja World War? Even if the First Hokage knelt down and distributed the tailed beasts, the final result would not have changed."

Kurosan: "A peaceful environment will cause a surge in the number of ninjas, and also a surge in the number of ordinary people. But there is only so much arable land and resources."

"At first, ordinary people began to starve, the nobles' extravagant lives were reduced, and the number of ninja missions decreased, but they still had to carry out missions to obtain resources."

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

"That's what the master said, and that's the answer we got. Because ordinary people can't survive, because the luxury of the nobles has been cut, and because the number of ninjas is also increasing."

After he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage was a little dazed.

Is war unsolvable in the face of resource scarcity?

"Wait. If there is no solution, why do you have a reason?"

Kuroyama: "I remember that Kumogakure also has its own research department."

The Fourth Raikage nodded, but still didn't react.

Yahiko said helplessly: "The teacher said: Technology is the primary productive force. The research of biological genes can make rice of higher quality, and machinery can solve the labor problem more quickly."

After he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage was stunned.

The research department of Yunyin has been researching weapons.

Although the chakra cannon that was researched based on the Tensong Technique has not yet produced any results, it is estimated that its power can destroy a town.

But even so, he had never considered such a thing.

Researching high-quality seeds? Researching machinery?

This kind of thing doesn't seem like something a ninja would do.

Yahiko then spoke up, "The Rain Country has only been able to develop for a few years since the Third Shinobi World War, but it was able to save Konoha."

The cost of a village is still ninjas.

The Daimyo Prefecture canceled a large number of missions commissioned by Konoha, but Konoha still did not compromise.

Most of the reason for this is due to the school's support for Konoha.

With several small countries as its territory, the resources required are daunting numbers, but the school still seems to be able to handle it with ease.

and many more!

The Fourth Raikage reacted.

If the resources were not controlled by the daimyo, then as the military force of a great country, the five major ninja villages would naturally have no need to obey the orders of the daimyo.

So, this is the reason why the Daimyo Prefecture is so nervous about Konoha and the school organization?

"You really enlightened me."

The Fourth Raikage felt a little emotional, as this was a direction that the Hidden Cloud Village had never tried in the past.

And if we can be self-sufficient, there will be no need to go to Daming Mansion every time and listen to the orders of those idiots.

Montenegro smiled and said, "Resources are only the foundation of peace. Only with this foundation can we move on to other possibilities."

"Ordinary people are always the most affected by war, and ordinary people are the grassroots of this world. Therefore, the liberation of thought and the liberation of knowledge need to be involved."

……

On a giant tree far away in Yunlei Gorge, Kirabi was concentrating on watching the meeting in the distance.

"How about it?"

"It seems like they are chatting. Judging from the elder brother's expression, there should be no problem."

Upon hearing this, Ma Buyi and Darui both breathed a sigh of relief.

The backup plan didn't work, which was the best outcome for the three of them.

After all, once the fight starts, even Lord Raikage himself says there is no chance of winning.

Darui clenched his hands, still waiting.

The sun was setting.

And a few hours later, the Fourth Raikage also left Yunlei Gorge.

Kuroyama then left with Nagato and Yahiko, and was brought into the village by the Fourth Raikage.

……

The next day, a high-level meeting within Yunyin was held.

Unlike Sand Village and others, there are not many high-level leaders in Kumo Village.

There were few people in the conference room, only the Fourth Raikage Ai, Killer Bee, and Darui were there.

"The above is the basic information about why the people from the academy came here this time. Offering ideological courses in the ninja school is the basis for cooperation."

"Also, I think there is nothing wrong with their analysis. The relationship between the ninja village and the daimyo's mansion has always been a relationship of mission entrustment."

"In the past, we ourselves have also been trying to figure out how to make Yingyu disobey the orders of Daimyo Jade. And now, the people in the academy have shown us a way."

After saying that, the Fourth Hokage looked towards several high-ranking officials of Kumogakure.

One of them thought for a while and replied, "If it's just about researching genetic technology and machinery, I don't think we need to join them. This path has been pointed out and they have verified it. We can go on our own."

Yes, go by yourself.

After this idea came up, everyone thought of it.

Instead of joining, it’s better to go it alone!

Konoha has already attracted attention. If the same is true for Kumogakure, the nobles in the Daimyo Prefecture may not have the courage to fight.

"Dong dong dong..."

Amid the discussions, the Fourth Raikage knocked on the table.

“There’s more than just one road, everyone.”

"Ending the war and achieving peace is their ultimate goal."

……

Chapter 398 Will a Larger War Become a War

Among the five major ninja villages, there are more or less some problems due to power.

A coup broke out in Konoha because the Second Hokage personally went to Kumogakure to sign a peace agreement, but Kinkaku and Ginkaku did not want the war to stop.

This resulted in the death of the Second Raikage, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, also died while trying to cover their retreat while escaping with his disciples.

This solved the problem of the two psychopaths within Kumogakure. After the Third Raikage took office, Kumogakure has been extremely stable until now.

Even during the period when the Fourth Raikage took over after the Third Ninja World War, there was no disturbance at all.

The reason is the cause of death of the Third Raikage.

He single-handedly fought against a large number of ambushed Iwagakure ninjas, allowing the large army to escape danger, but ultimately died of exhaustion.

For this reason alone, there will be no problem for the Fourth Raikage to ascend to the throne.

Moreover, in Killer Bee's generation, the Jinchuriki of Kumogakure finally had the power of a perfect Jinchuriki, and the relationship between the group consisting of Abby and Kumogakure was very solid.

The combination of strength and fame makes the internal stability of Kumogakure second only to Iwagakure.

Therefore, the attitude of the Fourth Raikage played a decisive role in this high-level meeting.

"This is not just a way to get rid of the control of the daimyo, and their goal is not to make the ninja village an independent force. The purpose of the academy... is to end the war in the ninja village era."

The Fourth Raikage finished speaking, but no one responded during the meeting.

Several elderly men looked at each other, their eyes showing an undeniable expression.

They have respect for the Kage, not only because of the Sandaime's sacrifice, but also because of the power the Kage wields.

But this does not mean that they do not scoff at the idea of ​​ending the war.

"Lord Raikage. During the Warring States Period, Hashirama Senju ended the war between the ninja clans and brought peace to the entire ninja world for a long time. But we all saw the final result..."

Another senior official took over the conversation: "Ending a war is nothing more than starting another war. The power of the Intelligence Academy has indeed grown in the past few years, but how does it compare to Hashirama Senju back then?"

"The power of the Valley of the End of the Fire Country, which can change large areas of terrain, is still unimaginable to ordinary ninjas."

After the words were spoken, several high-ranking members of Yunyin also spoke up.

"The nine tailed beasts are considered the war weapons of the five major ninja villages and will not be used easily, because the power of a single tailed beast ball can destroy a village."

"But Senju Hashirama was able to capture all nine tailed beasts by himself. He ended the Warring States Period, but so what?"
