Ignite the fire from the pirates

If the academy still only controlled Konoha, its attitude might be completely different from what it is now.

"The ninja village system was established not long ago. At that time, you still had hopes for peace, but after being intimidated by Uchiha Madara's aura, you changed your mind."

"Third Tsuchikage, the real reason you treat me with such courtesy now should be that you don't want to fall behind the other four ninja villages."

"Because you're afraid? Afraid that Iwagakure will fall out of the top five ninja villages under the new system, and afraid that the new generation will become a piece of cake at the table because they don't have the power of Haki?"

Such words made the smile on Ōnoki's face freeze.

It’s too straightforward… How can it be so straightforward?

In a dialogue between two forces, the goals of both sides are consistent. Wouldn't it be possible to achieve the goal by just having a chat?

Being so straightforward... can make people angry.

However, Ohnoki was not angry. After a long sigh, he said, "In the past, ninjas were considered tools. I strongly disagree with this statement. Although completing the mission is a duty, it is impossible to be without feelings."

"Many young people in Iwagakure are interested in the new ideas of the academy. Iwagakure also welcomes the opening of the academy. Even the graduating jonin, chuunin and genin hope to learn the new ideas."

These words have given the idea of ​​opening a school, but they did not directly address Kevin's words.

The dream of the past, the dream that was torn apart by Uchiha Madara, he has never forgotten it even after decades.

Kevin replied: "We have the same stance, so the opening of the school is inevitable. But perhaps the Third Tsuchikage misunderstood. To awaken the power of Haki, one needs to be resolute in one's will."

"Just like you... If you can't face your past, and you can't believe in the possibility of peace from the bottom of your heart, all you want is to gain the power of Haki and not fall behind other ninja villages..."

“Then you’ll end up with nothing.”

After the words fell, there was silence in the conference room.

Oonoki's face looked very ugly.

He knew what Kevin meant...

As the Kage of the Iwagakure Village, his thoughts and actions will affect everyone in the village.

And from these words, he could also hear that the ideological class was not as simple as he had imagined.

Only by believing firmly and firmly strengthening this will can one awaken the power of dominance.

The new generation of ninja school students may become steadfast, but if that happens, will they all become as foolish as they were when they were young?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be easy to fall into the trap?

Kevin looked at Ohnoki.

The old man in front of him, who was so old that his body had almost shrunk, never believed in the feasibility of the new idea from the bottom of his heart.

The so-called yearning for new ideas is nothing more than lying because of the power of domineering and the situation in the ninja world.

But Kevin didn't care.

The ninjas in this world all long for peace in their hearts, but they don't have a towering giant to show them the path to peace.

In fact, even if he stood on the shoulders of giants, Kevin still didn't know how to achieve permanent peace.

Not unifying the ninja world, but changing the world with the situation of five major countries is itself another choice.

"You... should have already thought that what the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, did... was wrong, right?"

After he finished speaking, Oonoki raised his head slightly.

At this moment, the disguised longing in his eyes no longer existed.

Because he knew that the young man in front of him might not be young, or naive, but in any case he was not someone who could achieve his goals by disguising himself.

"Isn't it? After the death of Hashirama Senju, wars broke out frequently. In just a few decades, wars between ninja villages have already broken out three times."

Ohnoki said in a heavy tone: "A few decades is not a long time, but among the five ninja villages, the Kage has reached the fourth generation, and the only three generations still alive are me and that old man Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"This is even more ridiculous. If someone took over Kirigakure, he would be the fifth generation now, right? A village like the Blood Mist Village actually believes in peace?"

His tone was full of sarcasm.

But Kevin was not angry, instead he said: "Senju Hashirama has been working hard for the direction he can see. In the past, I thought he was naive just like you. Maybe Uchiha Madara also thought so, and maybe the whole ninja was like this too."

"But from the documents I got from the daimyofu and the stories told by some awakened nobles, I think he is also a pioneer."

"He was determined to change the world and fought for it, not caring about the constraints of his identity, and not using force to carry out large-scale killings."

“The gap in cognition should not be a reason for ridicule. Because when you are almost desperate, those who try to move in every direction are worthy of respect.”

Kevin paused as he spoke.

He stood on the shoulders of giants on whom he had walked many paths through trial and error in the past, some right and some wrong, and finally in the endless darkness and despair he found a way to see the dawn.

"The formation of a ninja village requires the support of the daimyo, and the Kage becomes the second Jade. Although there are some restrictions, ninjas are naturally opposed to ordinary people."

"At a stage when it is impossible to rule, the nobles, ninjas, and commoners forming a circle is the best option at that time."

"When the ninja village was first established, it was impossible for the ninjas who had not been engaged in production since the Warring States Period to open up wasteland and farm for a living after joining the ninja village."

"People with supernatural powers and ordinary people without chakra are naturally opposed. At that time, if the ninja did not have the support of the daimyo, there would be no way to establish a ninja village. Because people... need to eat."

"Later... Hashirama Senju established the rule that ninjas cannot attack ordinary people in another way. He also promoted a meeting between the five major ninja village shadows. This move was a very terrifying phenomenon for the nobles at the time."

Kevin then looked at Ohnoki and said, "Just like you were before I came. Why do you think they are afraid?"

Oonoki frowned.

In the past, he had never thought about the details of the early stages of the founding of the ninja village, let alone the contributions made by the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

The Five Kage Summit ultimately had no effect, so he naturally considered it useless.

However, the nobles will be terrified by the Five Kage Summit.

"Because they are... afraid of death."

Ohnoki figured it out.

Because they are afraid of death, they are afraid. If the Five Kage Summit reaches an agreement, it means that all the forces have been gathered together.

But even if we gather together... we won’t attack Daming Prefecture!

and many more……

Decades of wisdom reminded him of the documentary records of the first Five Kage Summit.

"Is it hatred that caused the war, or is it the lack of resources, the contrast between the rich and the barren lands, that forced the war to break out?"

Kevin's words once again stunned Oonoki.

He pondered the root cause of the war, and at the same time, he recalled all the past intelligence about the school.

At the same time, the academy can support the consumption of the four major ninja villages with the areas of small countries such as the Rain Country, the River Country, and the Grass Country.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, Ohnoki said, "Sir... I... don't know."

……

Chapter 408: The man behind the scenes Bai Jue: I have never betrayed anyone.

Among the five major ninja villages, Ōnoki is considered to be very old among those still alive, not counting those hiding in the dark like Uchiha Madara.

The only one older than him is the Master of Kirigakure.

At this age, the number of wars and conflicts it has experienced can be said to be among the highest.

But when faced with the question of war, Ohnoki was in a trance and could only answer that he didn't know.

When he was young, he once believed what the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, said... to resolve disputes through conversation and maintain peace through mutual understanding.

However, the condescending attitude of the powerful Uchiha Madara told him that everything he thought was just naive.

The second generation Tsuchikage Mu, who was also his teacher, stopped him and told him what Uchiha Madara meant by naivety.

After that, he truly understood his teacher's words, and based on this, he made the Iwagakure Village still one of the five major ninja villages.

So what happens in war… is it really a continuation of hatred created by conflict?

According to the intelligence, three months ago, after Sand Village, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure exposed their relationship with the academy, the daimyo made a last-ditch effort, which was already a routine move... to cut off the mission commission.

This move caused Iwagakure's mission commissions to explode, but this did not make him feel at ease.

Because even a fool could see the plight of the aristocratic group in this situation.

But as the Third Tsuchikage, he didn't believe a word of the dawn that the new thought talked about, or the peaceful and beautiful future.

Over the countless years, from the Warring States Period to the present, only one Hashirama Senju has changed the landscape of the ninja world, but in the end all his efforts were in vain.

After the ninjas gathered together, the wars between ninja villages were much more massive than the conflicts between clans in the past.

Even Shadow cannot protect itself in a war of this magnitude.

The first and second generations are all dead.

The third generation only had himself and the old guy in Konoha left, and it was heard that Sarutobi Hiruzen was sidelined and was basically living out his retirement at home.

Peace? How ridiculous!

But now, facts told him that the four major ninja villages were actually able to let go of their hatred under the premise of having the academy as a hub.

"Four days ago, an oasis gradually formed in the desert near the Sand Village in the Wind Country."

Kevin's voice rang out.

Oonoki was stunned.

oasis?

Three months?

How can it be?

"Chakra has brought crisis to this world, but it has also brought countless possibilities to this world."

Kevin looked at Ohnoki and said, "Desert afforestation, energy exploration and mining, these are the suggestions that the research institute gave to the Sand Village. If there is hope, no one will want to continue the endless war."

"During the Third Shinobi World War, Iwagakure defeated the Third Raikage with heavy casualties among its ninjas. Did Iwagakure win? Or lose?"

“Who wants to die when they can live?”

After he finished speaking, Kevin stood up.

"Your generation has never seen a ray of light from the beginning to the end, and your worldview has been limited by the aristocracy. But the younger generation, the younger generation that has received new education and accepted new ideas, will truly see the dawn of peace."

"I don't think you can understand the dawn I'm talking about just by talking once. But the future belongs to the younger generation. Under the oppression of the four major ninja villages that have united, you have no other choice."

"The school will be opened in Iwagakure."

"It's up to them to choose which path... which direction... and how they want the Iwagakure Village to move forward."

"In three days, someone from the academy will come to Iwagakure Village to coordinate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin disappeared.

And Ōnoki was still in a daze.

After a while, Huang Tu, who had heard no noise outside, broke in.

"boom."

The wooden door was smashed to pieces.

Ōnoki was also frightened and started scolding his son again.

"Don't you know how to knock? Don't you know? Don't you know?"

He scolded and beat his son, and finally hit him until his head was covered with bruises.

After a while, all the top leaders of Iwagakure came back.

Ohnoki looked at the few people and said, "People from the academy will come to Iwagakure in three days. Be prepared for the reception. Also, make arrangements with the ninja school and start the ideological class directly in three days."

"clear."

After they recovered, they looked at each other again.

One of them asked, "Have we reached an agreement? Then what kind of material support can we get?"

Another high-ranking official followed up with, "Those idiots in Sand Village can get assistance. We in Rock Village are more powerful, so we should..."

"Cough cough."
