Chapter 185 Look at it this way

The sources of human suffering are not very complicated. All suffering in the world is often based on the mismatch between desire and strength.

This sentence may sound unremarkable at first, but it is very classic if you think about it carefully.

Take Orochimaru, the absolute top ninja of Konoha Village, for example. He has been in pain all his life and is far from being as glorious as he appears.

When he was a child, Orochimaru's parents both died on the battlefield. At that time, his pain was the mismatch between his desire to protect his family and his ability.

In his youth, he fought extremely bravely on various fronts. His pain at this time came from the mismatch between his desire to survive and his actual strength.

After he became famous in one battle and was dubbed as one of the Three Ninjas, his pain became even greater. It was an torment of watching his familiar companions die in front of his own eyes but being unable to do anything.

Orochimaru was in a very low mood at one point. Although his famous ninjutsu is closely related to snakes, it does not mean that his heart is as cold as a snake. Once upon a time, Orochimaru also had a dream to support Konoha and protect his companions, otherwise he would not have become a close friend with Jiraiya, who has a completely opposite personality.

After suffering pain again and again, Orochimaru's inner world underwent tremendous changes. He no longer cherished the village that gave birth to him, raised him, and nurtured him, but began to pursue things that seemed extremely absurd to outsiders.

After a long period of self-reflection, Orochimaru concluded that his pain came from his lack of strength. And the source of a ninja's strength is only one: Jutsu.

Ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, the three major systems of techniques can bring about earth-shaking changes in the strength of a ninja.

Therefore, at this stage, Orochimaru's ambition is definitely not to become a shitty Hokage. He just wants to learn all the wonderful ninjutsu in the world and then reach the peak of his life.

The Third Hokage's political tactics were meaningless to him, so what about the Hokage? Even if you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, work hard, can you be stronger than the First and Second Hokage?

There are many extreme examples like Orochimaru in the entire ninja world. If Ye Shan knew about it, he would definitely call it war syndrome. This is an unsolvable disease that can have a huge impact on people, turning a person who dares not even kill a chicken into a bloodthirsty executioner.

At best, a ninja is a person who has mastered extraordinary powers. As a human being, you will have flaws. Those that can be changed are called shortcomings, while defects must not be changed.

Some are alcoholics, some are addicted to gambling, some are lustful, some are perverts...all kinds of things are symptoms of war syndrome.

The tight string in Orochimaru's heart broke at some point, maybe when his good friend Kato died, or maybe it was a quiet night that made people comfortable. In short, it broke, so his eyes on the people around him changed completely. He just thought they were childish and noisy. If he had a choice, he would rather stay in his laboratory and carry out shameful activities, rather than come to the Hokage's office in the middle of the night to answer a brainless question.

What do you think?

Joke, of course just watch it quietly!

It should be noted that the growth history of Baiyun Yeshan is not completely unrelated to the Hokage series. After all, if the Hokage had not sent him to the cruel battlefield, Yeshan would most likely be an ordinary Chunin. He usually stayed in the village as a leader of the Genin, picking up garbage and suppressing bandits to make a living.

However, there are not so many ifs in the world. Baiyun Yeshan has really made it. He is no longer the timid chess piece who waits anxiously for others' arrangements all day. Now he has become a chess player who can overturn the chessboard at any time.

There is nothing wrong with letting Baiyun Yeshan become the new generation of ruler. People will become conservative once they get older. Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer suitable to continue to drive the increasingly weak chariot of Konoha. It is time to make some changes.

That's why Orochimaru didn't show any respect to his mentor and left so boldly.

It was a good choice for both sides to make some concessions. Apart from anything else, Baiyun Yeshan was also a ninja who made some contributions to the village and should be given the corresponding identity and status. He should not be slandered by using the theory of origin or loyalty in secret. Besides, the theory of origin and loyalty itself was untenable.

In terms of background, Baiyun Yeshan's parents, uncle and aunt all died in the battle for Konoha. He is a legitimate third-generation ninja of Konoha and a real villager. He is definitely not the kind of ninja who joined halfway.

The loyalty is even more ridiculous. Are the Hokage the only true successors of the Will of Fire? Don't be ridiculous. Even when the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was in power, there were several ideologies in the village! As a successor, why should you ask others to listen to you? Moreover, the Uchiha clan is the founder and partner of Konoha Village. No one can refute this! How come after only a few decades, the original partners have become vagrants?

Being loyal to the Uchiha clan is disloyalty, and being born in a commoner family is not legitimate. Orochimaru wanted to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen, if that's the case, then what is he? A disciple who is not legitimate? How about tens of thousands of commoner ninjas? The slaves and servants of the Hokage family?

Hatake Sakumo has been killing people for decades for the sake of the village. The Hatake family has fallen into poverty in order to implement the will of fire. But the great Hokage just turns around and kills people with some tricks. It's so funny.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even think about it carefully. If he left the pure group like the Hatake family and Hatake Sakumo, why would he, as the Hokage, sit in a huge office all day and enjoy the respect of the entire ninja world?

Is it because you are the Third Hokage of Konoha? Or is it because you are the successor of the Will of Fire?

Ever since the death of Hatake Sakumo, those powerful civilian ninjas in the village have applied for retirement, voluntarily resigned from their posts and went to the border to eat dirt. Could it be that their spirit of dedication has really burst out?

Others always remember the people who dug the well after drinking the water, but you, on the other hand, poop directly in the pot after eating and even show off proudly. You must be crazy.

In short, Orochimaru has a genuine dislike for the current village leaders, even though he is the beneficiary.

This village saw no hope. Perhaps they could survive the Third Ninja World War, but what about the Fourth and Fifth Ninja World Wars? From Orochimaru's sharp eyes, as long as the next generation of outstanding ninjas did not grow up, Konoha Village would be doomed sooner or later.

Now, the new next generation has grown up. Even if he is not a direct descendant of the Hokage, he should not be slandered or guarded against in any case. Instead, he should be carefully contacted and negotiated with, and the power should be transferred in a relatively gentle way.

Besides, preventing the Uchiha clan from becoming too big and strong is the national policy set by Senju Tobirama, but Baiyun Yeshan is not an Uchiha, and he does not have red eye disease, so he can definitely become a new powerful noble. According to Orochimaru's idea, Sarutobi Hiruzen should do his best to promote Baiyun Yeshan, strive to train him to become the new Hokage within a few years, and then retire to the second line in a dignified manner, and do logistics and hold meetings when he has nothing to do, isn't that good?

The meeting was held late at night, and people thought it would start with the transfer of power, but they didn't expect it to be a conspiracy theory. Orochimaru must have been crazy to sit there quietly until the end.

If the power is not given to Baiyun Yeshan, will it be given to a man like Jiraiya who is obsessed with women? Or will it be given to Tsunade who lives in the casino every day?

There is no one left. There is really no one left in the Hokage line. Namikaze Minato is good in all aspects, but he is definitely not a one-man army. The only candidate to drive the Konoha carriage is the heretic Shirogane Hayama in the words of the Hokage.

This is the reality, Orochimaru realized after receiving the report from the front line.

Some weeds cannot be suppressed or burned out. They grow in the wild, without a comfortable greenhouse to shelter them from the wind and rain, and without fertilizer to grow stronger. They may be eliminated by nature, but once they emerge, they will soar into the sky and overwhelm everything. The scorching sun will become a tool for them to dry their bodies; wind and rain will become their assistants to take root in the ground, and even wildfires will become a godsend for them to be reborn!

Orochimaru believed that the wild grass that grew up in Baiyunye Mountain would become the brightest light in the ninja world in the next 20 years, eclipsing the Five Kage and the Three Ninja.

Unless a tough guy like Tobirama Senju appears in the Hokage series, the most dazzling office in the village will be occupied by someone else sooner or later.

All suffering comes from the mismatch between strength and desire. Conversely, all success and complacency comes from the match between desire and strength.

That's all, simple as that.
