Someone asked this question during a casual chat, and it is also the most common topic among ninjas outside of the big countries.
"I hope it's the Fire Nation."
Noah replied seriously and earnestly.
"Because the Fire Nation is rich and has resources, it has been the least oppressive to small countries after the war. They occupy the best locations and the most abundant resource areas on the continent, so they may not necessarily look down on the poor people like us in the Rain Nation."
"If you think about the economic situation of the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom, you will know how greedy they will be if they win."
"Master Hanzo's power is not yet at the level to intimidate other nations, so the small nations can only pray."
"At the same time, we also expect Hanzo-sama to shoulder the responsibility of the Rain Village and protect everyone."
……
This answer is very realistic and does not involve right or wrong. It is simply a consideration from a material perspective.
He also praised Hanzo highly.
"Then Lord Noah, do you think the final winner will be the Fire Nation? Just like the previous two times?"
Some people understood what Noah meant.
“It should be said that it is not a victory, but a return to the situation of previous years with five countries facing off.
The Fire Country has a very deep heritage, and the power left there by the first and second generation Hokage is unimaginable.
So Konoha will not also won't the past Hokage is not a person who likes aggression. "
The trio still believed this because it could be seen from Jiraiya's behavior style.
Generally, there wouldn't be such a funny person in a very aggressive village.
"Then why are they fighting?"
There are too many people who are very resistant to war. Even among the ninja community, there are a large number of people who do not want war to happen.
The world war that occurs every few decades turns everyone into a number and deprives them of their humanity.
"Wars have never stopped since the emergence of human beings, so the question should be why there are so many in the past hundred years."
"In fact, people need war to achieve their goals."
"I want better territory, better resources, to divert internal conflicts, etc...."
"Conflict can arise for any reason, and when it gets big enough it's called war."
This topic is a bit heavy, and Noah's straightforward remarks make people feel sad.
At the same time, this is somewhat contrary to the goal that the Xiao organization has always wanted to achieve.
Some people who were attracted by Akatsuki's ideas seemed to be thinking about it, and it seemed to make sense.
Among the crowd, Yahiko wanted to refute, but he couldn't say it out.
After being educated by Noah, he saw the truth of reality, so he began to think about how to solve his current ideological problems.
There's no way, because Yahiko doesn't have that kind of unreasonable mouth-to-mouth skill, nor does he have that kind of bewitching chakra to assist him.
Noah said this to change some people's minds, hoping to naturally transition to the mental state he wanted.
People in the ninja world have too many psychological problems, and the more powerful people are, the more likely they are to become ill.
"Then Lord Noah, how long do you think it will take for this Ninja World War to end?"
The refugees and ninjas here are already tired. As a battlefield, they have suffered far more than they imagined.
"The resources of the ninja world, including the number of ninjas, do not support such a protracted war, so it is expected to end in one or two years."
Noah gave a decisive answer, which gave everyone hope.
Although Yahiko hoped that there would be no war for a day, one or two years would be considered lucky for a place like the Land of Rain.
Finally, Noah asked everyone to go back to work, and today's small class ended.
Some content needs to be thrown out bit by bit before most people can accept it.
The camp continued to be busy, the civilians found hope in the war and tried to survive, and the ninjas were also carrying out their missions while thinking.
At the same time, these conversations are transmitted back to the tower every day.
Hanzo had a headache looking at the content of today's conversation, what is this Noah's position.
It seems to be a little different from what Yahiko promoted from the Akatsuki organization, which makes him, an old ninja, feel a little resonance.
Yes, how can war be completely eliminated?
It was only when I saw the truth of a great country that I gave up my previous idea of conquering everyone and bringing peace.
At the same time, Hanzo was also very happy with this guy's recognition of him. Recognition from a strong person is quite rare.
This made Hanzo even more indecisive, and it seemed that the development trajectory of the Akatsuki organization might return to his own rule.
Due to his position as the ruler of the Hidden Rain Village, his ambition to recruit a powerful force gave him some fantasies, but he did not realize that the greed caused by this was also a flaw that could be exploited.
Then, should we reconsider Danzo's proposal?
"Consider it? Hanzo, you idiot!!!"
In the dark underground, a gloomy man with half of his head wrapped in cloth was getting angry.
Shimura Danzo, known as the darkness of the ninja world, was furious at the moment.
It was very painful to look at the reply letter in my hand.
The nonsense about the Rain Country being very united and being neutral and not participating in the fight made him feel like he was watching a very bad and low-level joke.
In order to provoke a war between the Hidden Rock Village and the Rain Country, he began to think of some insidious tricks day and night.
There are quite a few Iwagakure ninjas who were arranged to die in the Akatsuki organization and a lot of dead soldiers pretended to be by the Gen organization, and they even planned to arrange a wave of small encounters.
This is the most precious resource, and it is being used up just like that.
So now Hanzo has shrunk back? ! ! This will make me look stupid!
I clearly promised Hiruzen that I would delay Iwagakure's progress in the Rain Country, but now I'm being fooled by this guy?
"Go investigate what happened in the Rain Country that caused Hanzo to retreat, especially whether the Akatsuki organization showed any signs of moving closer to the Hidden Rain Village."
"Yes."x4
Danzo sent out his trusted men to calm down his anger. This time he must not let those naive kids ruin his plan.
In the Rain Country camp.
Noah likes the feeling of being busy. It seems that things are getting better every day, and so do his three disciples.
This gathering place is growing like a snowball, and its reputation is even higher than the Xiao organization in the original book.
The relationship with the Hidden Rain Village is a little delicate, and there have been great fluctuations in the exchange of materials.
When the supplies provided by the Hidden Rain Village are few, the supplies from the daimyo will be more.
When the Hidden Rain Village has more supplies, the Daimyo will have even more.
It can be seen that Hanzo is in a dilemma, while the Daimyo, without knowing the situation of the field, is still firmly supporting the entrepreneurial work of the young man Yahiko.
Noah is very satisfied with the current situation, he is just trying to survive in the cracks.
Chapter 11 No one knows the Samsara Eye better than me
After this period of management, his reputation has almost been built up, and it's time to talk to Nagato about the future.
After a few months, it will be time for Danzo to use a dirty trick, and it will also be time for Iwagakure to take a large-scale action.
It is also the rampage period driven by the plot. Conspiracies one after another will be superimposed on this land, so internal adjustments must be completed first.
The child Nagato is the biggest problem among the trio.
This is due to both one's own instability and the catalysis of external forces.
In order to push him to the extreme, Black Zetsu probably wouldn't mind letting his two friends die together.
After all, Jiraiya's ability of talking was still far from enough, and he did not help Nagato build a perfect psychological defense since childhood.
That day, Noah called Nagato and two other friends over.
Some questions are too sensitive. If you only call out Nagato alone, it may cause unnecessary extreme reactions. You have to strike a balance in this regard.
Of course, Noah, who has a high reputation, does not need to be as cautious as he was at the beginning.
"Nagato, let's have a frank talk."
"Do you remember the Six Paths Sage who founded the Ninja Clan that I once told you about?"
The three young men nodded.
"His name is Otsutsuki Hagoromo. He is the eldest son of the goddess of the moon. He is also the creator of the concept of jutsu."
"I won't go into detail about how great he was to the ninja world, but I guess there are probably a lot of legends about him."
"So you know what I'm going to say?"
Nagato hesitated for a moment before lifting his bangs and pointing at his eyes.
Normally Noah would control himself from looking into Nagato's eyes, as it would arouse his hostility or cause unnecessary trouble, but now that he needed to communicate formally with the other party, he no longer had to restrain himself.
The power contained in those eyes in perception is really unique, and it is slightly related to the sun and moon seal in his hand.
According to Obito and Zetsu, this young man has the power of the Uzumaki and Senju bloodlines in his body, and is a combination of two top bloodlines.
In the entire ninja world, it is very explosive. In fact, even without the Samsara Eye, with Nagato's qualifications, he can become an extremely powerful and terrifying person.
Looking at the Rinnegan, Noah said without much surprise.
"Yes, the Samsara Eye is known as the highest eye power of the 'Eye that controls life and death.' It also represents a very special story."
"Some people also see it as the future of the ninja world and the hope that it can bring world peace."
Yahiko heard the word "world peace" that he was interested in, so he asked.
"Then Mr. Noah, can the owner of the Rinnegan really do this?"
Although Teacher Jiraiya did not say it explicitly, as their best friends, how could they not know about Nagato's specialness?
It seems that Teacher Noah also has a very special evaluation of these eyes.
"To some extent, yes. After all, the world was indeed peaceful when the Sage of Six Paths was alive."
Nagato was shocked. Was this the great responsibility he had to shoulder? Yahiko was happy that peace had a clear direction.
"Because all those who were not at peace were suppressed by the Sage, this was the short-lived peace brought about by the power of an individual. And it was the Sage of Six Paths who achieved the Samsara Eye, not the Samsara Eye that achieved the Sage of Six Paths."
"And after the Six Paths Sage left this world, the world's conflicts began once again."
There was silence in the room. The Rinnegan seemed very powerful, but not that powerful.
And Teacher Noah seems to know these eyes very well.
"Ugh……"
A sigh made them feel a little depressed.
Seeing their worried looks, Noah also explained.
“It’s not that these eyes are bad, but they contain the power of all things, which is a very extraordinary thing.
I feel sad for the way this world is made.
These eyes are undoubtedly very powerful, but the qualifications and bloodline required to carry these eyes are also extraordinary.
The concept of bloodline runs through the entire history of the ninja world. At least at the starting point, it has surpassed countless ninjas.
But it is precisely because of the strength of the bloodline that the class of this world is determined from birth.
The descendants of the strong will always be strong as long as their bloodline is not diluted, but the upper limit of the weak will always be determined.
At the same time, bloodlines have also caused countless fights and countless tragedies."
Noah said something that the three young men seemed to understand, and then he stopped thinking.
Now is not the time to discuss this. At least wait until we take control of the Rain Kingdom.
"Is it too much of a burden not to use these eyes in battle?"
