Chapter 1542 Your heart is too narrow

"I want to ask you, Jiraiya, why did Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara join forces to establish Konoha Village sixty years ago?" Hyuga Neji asked.

"To bring peace to the ninja world." Jiraiya responded solemnly, "It is also to prevent children from going to the battlefield and end the Warring States Period."

"Is the one-country-one-village system jointly established by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara more peaceful than the Warring States Period?" Hinata Neji asked again.

"Although I have never experienced the Warring States Period, as long as I think about that era, even four-year-old children had to go to the battlefield to survive, I can already imagine the cruelty of the Warring States Period.

The first Hokage established the Leaf Village and ended the Warring States Period, which indeed brought peace. "Jiraiya said in a magnetic and deep voice.

"Senju Hashirama established the Leaf Village, ending the fact that during the Warring States Period, the average four-year-old child had to go to the battlefield, thereby extending the age of children to go to the battlefield to twelve years old. I am right to say that." Hyuga Neji Said calmly.

Jiraiya wanted to retort that the original intention of the First Hokage was to bring peace to the ninja world and to prevent children from going to the battlefield.

But that is still an ideal, whether it can be achieved is another matter.

In fact, it was not possible. After the death of Senju Hashirama, the First Ninja War broke out immediately, which only extended the age of entering the battlefield at the age of four during the Warring States Period to about twelve years old.

But it is undeniable that Senju Hashirama has done almost the best with his thoughts and wisdom.

For an illiterate person, Senju Hashirama has achieved this level and created the system of an era, which is already outstanding enough.

Although this system is broken, it is another way to perpetuate war and make war larger, but it is better than nothing.

"Yeah..." Jiraiya's dull response. From the fact that it seems that it has indeed changed from the cruel environment of going to the battlefield at the age of four to going to war at the age of twelve. Sometimes the Ninja World War begins. , before the age of twelve, some Ninja School students graduated early and were sent to the battlefield.

"Hyuuga Neji, what are you talking about, are you talking bad about my grandfather?" Tsunade became angry when she saw Hyuga Neji, and raised her eyebrows angrily, "If you want to say anything, just say it!"

"Tsunade, you misunderstood. I did not mean to slander Senju Hashirama." Hinata Neji replied gently and calmly.

"Say it!" Tsunade had angry cross veins on her forehead and glared at Hinata Neji. She felt that this slow and gentle Hinata Neji was particularly irritating to her.

It's not at all as powerful and oppressive as when fighting. He talks like he's speaking in riddles.

"What I mean is that Senju Hashirama extended the time for four-year-olds to go on the battlefield to twelve years old, but twelve-year-olds are just children, and what I am doing is also carrying out a system of an era.

Just like the one-country-one-village system created by Senju Hashirama, which extended the time for four-year-old children to go to the battlefield to the age of twelve, the system I created will directly extend the time for twelve-year-old children to go to the battlefield. Adulthood at the age of eighteen. " Hinata Neji said.

"I can't see any 'peace'. In this system established by constant war, continuous fighting cannot extend the child's life to adulthood at the age of eighteen. All I see is that you are ambitious and want to The ambition to conquer the ninja world," Jiraiya said in a deep voice with dark eyes.

"It seems that my display of strength still makes you think that the ninja villages in various countries are capable of dealing with me, but it is only less than one-third of my strength." Hyuga Neji calmly replied: "Your vision has been This world is very shackles and has become a frog in the well.”

"Since the one-country-one-village system, have there been no wars?" Hyuga Neji asked rhetorically.

"..." Jiraiya was silent.

How could there not be a war?

The first, second, and third Ninja World War, each time was to recuperate after the fight, and then start the next Ninja World War.

In just 40 to 50 years, a great ninja war broke out that affected the entire ninja world. It could be said that all lives were devastated. In the end, the hatred that continued was almost impossible to dissipate. Too many people died.

"Then I will use my power now, with absolute power and the fastest speed, to directly unify the ninja world before the start of the Fourth Ninja War. Do you think there will be fewer people killed than when the Fourth Ninja War started? ?" Hyuga Neji asked back: "Do you think I will be stupid enough to get stuck in the quagmire of delay with each ninja village?"

Hyuga Neji felt that he was a bit unexpected in Jiraiya's thinking.

His thoughts, under the influence of Xunrong in this ninja world, have already established a set of self-talk. It seems that the life of the ninja world should be cultivated well, and then Konoha is invaded, the ninja world war begins, and then The cycle goes on and on.

He was deeply immersed in this war model, not only in his actions, but also in his thoughts. Even when Hyuga Neji proposed a system that could transcend this model, he thought it was difficult to achieve.

"You ordered Danzo Shimura to kill the great lord and nobles of the Kingdom of Wind, and to seize the Kingdom of Wind by force will only bring endless war to the ninja world. Without the daimyo and nobles to manage various countries, the ninja world will be even more chaotic and desolate. When other countries see you killing nobles of other countries, they will do anything to deal with Konoha. The real Fourth Ninja War will start the moment you give the order." Jiraiya shook his head, deep in his own thoughts. among.

From Jiraiya's perspective, the country has been ruled by daimyo nobles since ancient times. This system has been in existence for a long time, and he has never seen any problems.

On the contrary, it is Hyuga Neji who wants to overthrow the daimyo and nobles who is problematic.

How could there be people who disagree with the legitimacy and dignity of the daimyo and nobles among the people?

It has always been like this.

But... has it always been right?

"What is the foundation of the country?" Hyuga Neji asked.

"Of course..." Jiraiya opened his mouth and wanted to say directly that it is of course the daimyo and nobles, because the daimyo and nobles govern the people.

But when he wanted to open his mouth, he couldn't say it.

Are the daimyo and nobles really important?

Are the daimyo and nobles really the foundation of a country?

Jiraiya frowned and didn't dare to answer.

"It seems that you have figured it out." Hyuga Neji said: "The foundation of a country is people, not daimyo and nobles."

"The daimyo and nobles have long ruled ordinary people, which has imprisoned your thoughts. You firmly believe that only daimyo and nobles are qualified to rule ordinary people, and that this is the orthodox rule.

But daimyo and nobles are also people. It does not mean that without daimyo and nobles, people will die, fall into chaos, kill each other, and never recover."

"Your heart is too narrow, Jiraiya."

Hyuga Neji gave Jiraiya an order as the Hokage:

"Jiraiya, go find Orochimaru and tell him that I can make him immortal. I can do all the ninjutsu and immortality techniques for him. Then go with Orochimaru to persuade or wipe out all the ninjas in the Sand Village.

The ninjas in the Sand Village who are willing to surrender will be incorporated into Konoha, and those who are unwilling will be killed directly."
