Chapter 48: Longing is the feeling farthest from understanding (two chapters in one)(2/2)
"The Country of Oni and the Country of Iron are permanent neutral countries in the ninja world. The wars that have continued to break out over the years have not had much impact on these two countries. In addition, they are remote and are not easily targeted by big powers. The Fire Country
The country's fertile land is the fundamental reason for the outbreak of the Ninja World War."
"If this is the case, then those two countries are indeed suitable for living. What is the specific time to leave Konoha?"
"The next ninja war is coming."
"The next ninja war? Will it take too long?"
The First Ninja War and the Second Ninja War were separated by more than ten years, and it is still unknown whether the Third Ninja War will break out.
"Don't worry. This Ninja World War is over, and the next Ninja World War will not be too long, and it will still be a dispute over the rich land of the Fire Country. At that time, it is the best time for us to leave Konoha
, they are caught in the flames of war from all sides and have no time to deal with us rebel ninjas who have disappeared."
Shiraishi's inference is based on facts.
The gentleness of diplomacy means that the other four major ninja villages will not be in awe and fear because of Konoha's power, but will more easily arouse their jealousy and gangster mentality.
During the current Third Hokage's reign, although there are more victories than defeats in foreign wars, think about it, every time they are passive counterattacks.
Whether it was the war in the Land of Rain or the war with Sunagakure's invasion of the Land of Fire, they were all forced to fight back.
Even if you win, it can be said to be a failure because you will not get any benefits after the war is over.
The enemy does not ask for compensation when they are defeated. They only gain fame and gain no actual benefits.
It looks like victory, but in fact, in Shiraishi's view, it is just taking advantage of the mistakes left by the previous two generations of Hokages.
Ayane looked at Shiraishi as if she didn't understand. Although she wanted to believe Shiraishi's guess, as the leader of the five great ninja villages, Konoha has always been the first in terms of military power. After this ninja war, the next war will
Even if it comes, it should only happen many years later. How can we say that the interval will not be too long?
Baishi smiled slightly, looked at the peaceful scene outside the window, and said something:
"If peace is sought through struggle, peace will survive; if peace is sought through compromise, peace will perish. As the embodiment of the most powerful country's military power, Konoha's foreign policy is so meek and weak, and the result will only be a situation surrounded by wolves. The more you want peace, the more you want peace.
All you get is forced war."
"But in the past..."
Shiraishi knew what Ayane wanted to add. Having studied the history of Konoha, he also knew something about the First Hokage, so he interrupted: "The Will of Fire is only suitable for the First Hokage. This kind of will to seek peace with external compromises, and
It is not suitable for future generations. After his death, no one is willing to have the same innocent dream as him. These two ninja wars are proof. This is also the basis for my speculation."
"Is the source of the trouble the First Hokage?"
This was the first time Ayane heard this statement.
"In a sense, that's true. Even if Konoha is destroyed one day, maybe they don't understand why they were destroyed. The so-called longing is the furthest emotion from understanding. If you worship someone too much, you will be
It’s easy to lose sight of the essence of the matter.”
It was not so much the Third Hokage who put Konoha into the current unfavorable state. This statement is not entirely accurate, because the seeds of the disaster had been planted as early as the time of the First Hokage.
The Third Hokage just takes the blame for the First Hokage and cleans up the mess.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the Third Ninja World War will break out, and it is also inevitable that the time interval between the Second Ninja World War and the Second Ninja World War will not be long.
It was also the safest time to leave Konoha at that time.
Konoha, which is in crisis on all sides, is already overwhelmed just dealing with the war, and has no time to focus on exterminating the rebellious ninja.
"Really? I have longed for Shiraishi-kun like this from the past. However, I also want to know everything about Shiraishi-kun. So...when we are alone together, please be gentle to me.
."
Ayane's face showed a pure and happy smile, with a shy blush on her face.
Shiraishi was slightly stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
‘Be gentle to me’… So, to what extent does Ayane want him to be gentle?
