Chapter 137 Your own idea of peace (412 for subscription)
"Eliminate war and bring peace..."
The rain is still falling, and the sky is dark, as if it will never clear up.
"Yahiko, I believe that with such a long history in the ninja world, there are people who want to eliminate wars and yearn for peace. There are people in every era, and there are countless people who have the same idea as you."
In front of Yahiko, an image appeared, which was an arcane illusion cast by Satoru, an auxiliary spell similar to "stereoscopic projection".
Mages usually use this convenient spell to assist their research, and of course they can also be used as a powerful aid to their teaching work.
Now, Satoru is showing Yahiko the map of the ninja world that he understands.
"The world is not a small one. The Land of Rain is in it, but it's just a tiny little bit. There are five major countries, many small countries, and an ocean that is not much smaller than the land."
Yahiko opened his mouth wide and looked at the map of the ninja world displayed by Satoru. Although he knew that the Land of Rain was the battlefield of the three kingdoms, how could war orphans of their age understand how big the "world" was?
The Kingdom of Rain, and the three major countries they know, plus the Kingdom of Iron, which is at war with Yuyin, and the bordering three kingdoms of grass, birds, and Sichuan, it is basically the "world" he thinks.
"Ninja culture is the mainstream culture in the world, and for this reason, this world is now called the "Ninja World", but in fact, there are many other cultures in the ninja world."
"The shrine maiden of the land of ghosts, the monks who still exist in all countries, the warriors of the land of iron, the ancient and mysterious secret places, and many unknown occult families..."
"But even in various countries where ninjas are the mainstream, people's thinking is very different due to differences in regions, traditions, cultures, etc."
"So, 'world peace' is a very huge concept, how to ensure the balance of interests between so many forces is the key to the problem——
Countries and forces are strong and weak, the strong do not bully, and the weak seek to make progress, as long as the interests do not conflict. "
"But Brother Wu, people's wishes should be to live comfortably, right? Isn't war launched by the powerful and powerful to realize their ambitions?"
Yahiko hurriedly explained his understanding of war:
"Becoming a strong man, a strong man who can do whatever he wants, can make the world no longer have wars?"
Satoru smiled, and the arcane illusion changed, turning into a man with long black hair and gentle eyes.
He was wearing a crimson battle armor and a Konoha forehead guard. His face was firm, revealing a strong confidence.
"This, you may not know him, he is one of the founders of our Konoha Hidden Village... one of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama."
Satoru introduced Yahiko: "You know the title of Hanzo, 'Demi-God', but this one's title is 'God of Ninja'!"
"He can even suppress natural disasters. If your so-called strong person is the number one expert in the world, Qianshou Zhuma deserves it--
He was the one who ended the chaotic Warring States Period and created the system of 'one country, one village'. At that time, he was the most powerful person in the world. "
Yahiko's eyes widened, and he couldn't help exclaiming - he knew how strong Hanzo was, and the difference between a "demi-god" and a "god" was a huge difference without asking!
Satoru's words awakened the shocked Yahiko:
"However, even the first-generation Hokage, who is as strong as a god, cannot make the people of the whole ninja world eliminate barriers and share peace with their own power--
In fact, even his closest, brother-like friend, he could not convince him. "
"The system of one country and one village has made the continuous wars during the Warring States Period evolve into what it is now, small-scale frictions in the stable period, the accumulation of contradictions to a certain extent, and the outbreak of world-class wars——
From the official establishment of the one country, one village system, it is now the end of the Second Ninja World War. "
Satoru's arcane illusion changed again, the image of the nine-tailed beast appeared in the illusion, and the terrifying destructive power made Yahiko pale:
"what is this!"
"This is a 'natural disaster' that has existed since the immortals of the Six Paths. The tailed beasts - according to the number of tails, from one tail to nine tails, each of them has the power to annihilate a country."
"And the nine-tailed beasts of the year were captured by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and distributed to the major hidden villages as a war deterrent. The purpose is to make the major countries have scruples and not start the war lightly."
Satoru shook his head and continued in Yahiko's shocked eyes:
"However, even with this level of insurance, the war has not disappeared.
On the contrary, as the country’s previous imbalances intensified, the scale became larger and larger. The fundamental reason, the so-called harmonious coexistence between people, is fine if the scale is small, but if it is enlarged to countries, the major premise is lacking. "
"Major premise?" Yahiko looked into Satoru's eyes with a vague understanding. Although the other party was only a teenager, what Yahiko saw at the moment seemed to be a more mature soul than Jiraiya-sensei.
"It's what I said just now, interests - for each other's interests, war will never end, and for the same interests, even if you were enemies one moment, you can have a drink together the next moment."
Yahiko thought, this kind of truth can be seen everywhere even in the market.
"It turns out that the conflicts between countries are no different from the conflicts between uncles and aunts who sell vegetables in the market?"
Satoru was amused by Yahiko's metaphor. Indeed, in order to grab customers, the competition between businessmen and those between countries are essentially no different.
"That's right, because countries are made up of people, not to mention decision makers."
"So, great power is the premise of peace. Yes, without power, no one will listen to you - but if you don't solve the fundamental interests, things still can't be solved."
"Then how to solve the problem of interest?" Yahiko was eager to get an answer, but Satoru thought for a while and did not answer him directly.
"I have my own ideas. Although you are still young, you must also have your own ideas."
"I'm just stating what I've learned, but how to solve it, I hope you can find the answer through your own growth."
"If I tell you that you believe it and then do it, then at best, you are just a continuation of my will, and you have not witnessed the world in person, then doing it is tantamount to erasing your free will."
"When you have your own ideas and put them into practice, we can sit down and discuss. At that time, we will be comrades in the United Front!"
"Senior Brother Wu... You, like me, want to end the war."
Yahiko rubbed his nose and his face became firm:
"I will work hard! I will see with my own eyes, do it with my own hands, and find the right path!"
"Very good, then I'll wait and see... Teacher Jiraiya also has this expectation, but he seems to be very obsessed with a prophecy, looking for the 'son of prophecy' in destiny."
"But I think, instead of believing in prophecies, it is better to believe in yourself. Every choice you make will lead to a different future."
"I should go... Yahiko, say goodbye to Jiraiya-sensei for me."
waved to the reluctant Yahiko, and Satoru disappeared instantly.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Satoru, I, Yahiko, will definitely control my own destiny!"
