Chapter 235: A Clash of Ideas
"So, when you become the Hokage, you will work hard to unify the ninja world by force, right?" I also said it. οΌ
"Jiraiya-sama, what you said is not right, it's not that I want to unify the ninja world by force, it's that Elder Tuanzang has the ambition to unify the ninja world and end the war. And even if I did the Hokage, it would be ten or twenty years later, and I usually don't want to do something so far away. Things are changing all the time around us, and maybe I'll die on the way to the next mission. It is useless to think about it at that time, it is better to grasp the present and be more realistic. Inoue said.
Jiraiya muttered to himself, "Elder Tuanzang? β
"Wenying little ghost, don't be so negative, okay, you are in a teenager full of dreams. It's not a good thing to be so negative all the time, shouldn't you be a teenager your age and work hard after setting a big goal? The toad said.
"Father-in-law Toad, you're talking about ordinary people, do you look like an ordinary person in my appearance? I'm a super genius, and I can't guess with common sense. I quit this kind of thing when I was five years old, and I don't have to set a goal to work hard now. The world is cruel, and if you slow down, you're committing suicide. Inoue said.
Granny Toad looked at Inoue Wenying with some distress, she couldn't imagine that Inoue Wenying's thinking would be so mature.
"Wen Ying, you think the same way as an old man, so you will grow old quickly. Such a person will not be liked by beautiful girls. Although Xiao Zilai is also like a pervert, he is more energetic than a teenager like you. β
Zilai was also embarrassed, and looked at the toad mother-in-law a little angrily, blaming her for giving herself a nickname indiscriminately.
"Big sister, how can you say that about me. I'm not a pervert, I'm just taking material. The pervert is just misunderstood by people who don't know me. β
"I also have this thing, but life doesn't depend on it alone. Everyone should calmly think about everything they encounter in life, and then make the most reasonable choice. Vitality alone will not solve the problem. Inoue said.
"If, I mean, what would you do if Fumiei were to become Hokage now? Is it to prepare for war or to continue to recuperate? Jiraiya asked.
Inoue Fumiei thought for a moment and replied, "The current Konoha is in a period of weakness, and it is not suitable to continue the war at all. As long as there is a sane leader, they will choose to recuperate and cultivate reserve ninjas, and it is impossible to continue large-scale wars. If I were the Hokage, I would increase the training of active ninjas to increase their strength, and wait for about ten years before I think about war. β
"Since you don't support the war now, then why are you still cooperating with Elder Tuanzang now? You should know that he is the main battle faction, and once he becomes the Hokage, he will definitely try to push Konoha to start a war. Jiraiya asked suspiciously.
It seems that Jiraiya still hasn't seen the situation of the entire Konoha clearly, as long as Jiraiya and Princess Tsunade have nothing to do, Shimura Danzou will not have a chance to become the Hokage. After all, Shimura Danzou is a character of the same era as the three generations of Hokage, and his age is hard. In fact, as long as Kakashi Hachiki wasn't so decadent, Shimura Danzou would have grabbed such a big right at all.
"I cooperated with Elder Tuanzang to increase the self-protection ability of Konoha Ninja Village, and now Konoha high-end combat power has no way to deal with large-scale wars. Now only the increase in the teamwork ability of the ninja squad and the development of special tactics are suitable for Konoha Ninja Village. Only in this way can we deal with the enemy's decapitation tactics against Konoha Ninja Village, and if a special tactic had been developed earlier, Konoha would not have had to kill so many people in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. β
"Moonyoung, your idea is very good, but now the entire ninja world is recovering from the wounds of war. There is no such thing as a ninja village that will take the initiative to provoke conflict, and you will only disrupt the balance of power between the ninja villages by doing so. Thus provoking conflict. Jiraiya retorted.
Inoue Fumiei can't accept Jiraiya's assertion, as a ninja village ninja, he must focus on increasing the strength of the ninja village.
"I don't agree with what you say, Jiraiya-sama, in fact, the balance of power in the five major ninja villages has long been broken. It's just that each ninja village has some scruples, so there is no plan to destroy other ninja villages. And Konoha Ninja Village is in the middle of the continent, so it will be targeted by other ninja villages by nature. If the overall strength of the village is not increased, then in wartime, it is only up to each ninja to desperately use his body to block the enemy's attack. β
"But......" Jiraiya wanted to say something, but was stopped by Inoue Fumiei's hand.
Inoue Fumiei continued, "Jiraiya-sama, the balance of power in the ninja village you mentioned is the policy of the first Hokage when he divided the tailed beasts equally, and he wants each ninja village to have equal strength. In the event of a major war between the ninja villages, they will pay a lot of casualties in the hope that this will prevent the war. Are you saying I'm right? β
Jiraiya nodded, "Wenying, you're right, this is also the code of conduct that Konoha has always had. Only in this way can it be most beneficial to the Konoha Ninja Village, and once the balance between the Ninja Villages is broken, it will be difficult to predict what will happen between the Ninja Villages. β
"Jiraiya-sama, you only see the unpredictability of the situation after the balance is broken, but the three ninja wars have shown that the balance policy of the original Hokage-sama has gone bankrupt. In particular, the three wars were fought for ten years, causing a lot of tragedies in the entire ninja world. β
Inoue Fumiei took a breath of change and continued, "Personally, I think that only by expanding the one-country-one-village system of the original Hokage can we solve the current problem. β
Jiraiya and the two toads both looked at Inoue Fumiei suspiciously, not understanding what Inoue meant by the enlargement.
Zilai also asked suspiciously: "Wenying, what do you mean by the expansion of one country and one village?" Can this system be expanded? β
The Great Toad Immortal, who was napping on the throne, spoke, "Wen Ying means to annex other ninja villages, so that all ninjas live in one ninja village. Just like in previous tribal wars, when rival clans live in a ninja village, their relationship changes and they become companions. And all ninjas become ninjas in the ninja village, their relationship will also change, and then they will not be hostile ninjas, but companions. β
Inoue Wenying snapped his fingers and said, "What the big toad immortal said is right, this is the method I came up with. During the Warring States Period, the clans fought each other, and the various families were hostile to each other. But once it all became a Konoha ninja melee situation, didn't it never happen again? β
Although Jiraiya was a little moved by Inoue Fumiying's words, he still hesitated: "But the annexation of other ninja villages still requires a large-scale war, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties at that time." β
"The annexation of other ninja villages is not done by force alone, this kind of thing needs to be assisted by political offensives and intrigues. Otherwise, there is no way to succeed at all, the mobility of the ninja is very high. If they try to dodge, it will be difficult to catch him, and the merger will only succeed if it is approved by some of the ninjas in other ninja villages. β
Jiraiya shook his head and retorted: "Wenying, your idea is too naΓ―ve, how can any ninja agree to the annexation of his ninja village!" It would be nice if they didn't resist desperately. β
Inoue Wenying smiled and did not refute Jiraiya, this kind of thing has not been done, and it is useless to say more.
