Chapter 339: Earth Shattering (5)

After a cup of tea, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer everyone into the No. 1 barrier. Of course, the Nine-Tails had been controlled before the debate, and Kushina was out of danger.

Ye Shan nodded in satisfaction, and stomped his feet casually. Several chairs made of mud appeared behind everyone: "Please take a seat. This is a rare opportunity for us to have a good chat."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was happily chatting with an old friend at the front line. He was a little dazed when he was suddenly brought here by Minato. He looked at his teacher when he heard this.

The first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, smiled and said, "You must be the Fourth Hokage, you are indeed a young and promising person."

Senju Tobirama coughed and interrupted his elder brother's words: "Fourth Hokage, the situation on the front line is very good now. You should take advantage of the victory to completely destroy the enemy. It won't be too late for us to have a good chat later."

Ye Shan waved his hand casually and said: "The two deputy hokages are responsible for the finishing work. I don't need to deal with it. Besides, aren't you the only powerful enemies left in Konohagakure?"

Senju Tobirama: "......"

Even though the younger generation in front of him was telling the truth, it was still hard for him to get used to being called an enemy after having fought for the village all his life.

"Pen, please take a seat. For ninjas of your and my status, everything should be explained clearly before fighting. We don't need to waste some time talking. By the way, the man in black, don't take a seat. You don't deserve it."

"You..." The man in black was very angry, but he didn't dare to say anything else, for fear that Ye Shan would hit him with another restraint.

Ye Shan clapped his hands, and several Anbu ninjas appeared, waiting for new orders.

"Find a way to get some snacks and tea. We are all honored guests here and we cannot neglect them."

Of course, the first to fourth generations are all here, and Namikaze Minato, the designated fifth generation, is also here. As for Pain, even though he is a terrorist, he at least occupies one-third of the Rain Country and has a population of hundreds of thousands under his command.

Again, that idiot man in black doesn't deserve to sit here, let alone drink tea or eat snacks.

Soon after, the interior of barrier No. 1 was properly arranged by the Anbu ninjas. In front of each person was a cup of tea and a plate of four-color snacks. All that was missing was someone to sing and dance to liven up the atmosphere.

Ye Shan took a sip of tea and smiled, "As the saying goes, a group debate will reveal the shortcomings. I am a ninja who wins over others with virtue. I don't like fighting, but I like to resolve conflicts. The reason why we have such a unique tea party tonight is out of consideration for peace. If we can reach an ideological consensus through conversation and achieve the goal of calming down the war, it will be a great deed with immeasurable merit."

"I have discussed the issue of Konoha's new policy with Pain Six Paths before. I believe the three previous Hokage have also known about it to some extent. In order to facilitate the conversation, I will briefly introduce what the new policy is."

"The so-called new policy is nothing more than a few words for Chakra people. It's easy to say but hard to do. First of all, we need to understand what people are. I think that the noble class that controls a lot of land resources is not called people, but the vast majority of poor people. People are born unequal, this is determined in the womb, and I can't change it. But we can be relatively equal. Wouldn't it be better if the nobles gave up some of their benefits to the people so that they could have food to eat and clothes to wear?"

"So I distributed land in the New Rain Country so that the poor could have land to farm. This solved the land problem in a crude and simple way."

Speaking of the new policy, Ye Shan can be said to be full of pride and talk endlessly: "The next issue is civilian use. I founded the Ninjutsu Research Association and ordered ninjas to apply chakra to production and life, instead of developing more powerful ninjutsu to kill people. I let the people master chakra to improve productivity and then improve their living standards. This is civilian use."

Senju Hashirama looked at the snacks in front of him and wanted to reach out and take a piece to eat, but he was a body of the Impure World Reincarnation and could not feel the smell of hunger and cold, so he gave up helplessly and said: "Fourth Hokage, your starting point is good, but the new policy is bound to bring a series of disadvantages. Have you thought about these?"

Ye Shan nodded and replied: "Everything has its pros and cons. We should make full use of dialectical thinking to look at the development of things. In fact, several of us Hokage have discussed this many times in the meeting."

"Pain just mentioned that the new policy will put chakra in the hands of ordinary people. What should we do if an all-out war breaks out? I can answer this question now."

"There is no way."

"The history of human development is a history of war. I am powerless to change this historical legacy, nor do I want to change it."

Tendo Pain stood up and said: "This is why I want to attack Konoha. Now Konoha has become the promoter of war, and the promoter of the largest war in history!"

Ye Shanxu pressed his palm to signal the other party to sit down: "There are currently hundreds of countries in the ninja world, dozens of currencies coexist, and dozens of ninjas with different lineups and positions exist at the same time, so wars are bound to break out in a few years or ten years. Which war did not cause the abnormal deaths of hundreds of thousands of people?"

"In fact, the solution lies in the civilian use of chakra. Why would people sacrifice their lives to fight? The answer is because life is hard or there is an ideological conflict."

"If the civilian use of chakra succeeds, and everyone in the ninja world has food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in, then who would be willing to put their head on the belt to fight?"

"If the path of chakra civilian use succeeds and all the nations in the ninja world become one, then who will fight over ideological conflicts?"

"As for the new contradictions, new oppositions, and new conflicts that Payne is worried about, I can't think of a way to solve them. Because the emergence of a system is bound to be popular because of its novelty and advancement, but it will also fall behind as time goes by. But I think, if our descendants always have a spirit of progress, a spirit of reform, a spirit of peace, and a heart of love, then can the problem be solved peacefully, just like we are now, people who should have killed each other can have a cup of tea and a snack on this cool night in October, and then have a calm conversation."

At this point, Ye Shan pinched a snack and swallowed it before continuing, "I have always believed that human lifespan is predetermined by heaven. When the body dies, the biological lifespan of humans in time ends. So since humans will eventually die, why bother to struggle and fight? I think it's for a better view, a better survival experience, and for the so-called inheritance."

"Just like the first Hokage, he died suddenly in his prime. His life as a human being was undoubtedly over, but his will and spirit have been passed down! To this day, the Konoha Ninja Village still shouts the slogan of the Will of Fire. Generations of young ninjas have fought on the ice fields, deserts, mountains, and grasslands to implement the Will of Fire. They have sacrificed their precious lives one after another. Their deeds are touching."

"Everyone, listen carefully. At this moment, tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas are shouting slogans such as "Long live the Will of Fire" and "Long live the Konoha Ninja Village" and rushing towards the enemy without hesitation! All of this is based on the thought of the first Hokage when he founded the village forty-eight years ago. Who among you can ignore or forget him because of his death?"

“When human beings face disasters, the most valuable thing is ideological support, not the torches in their hands or the weapons at their waists. If human beings lose their enterprising spirit and the courage to face problems, then even if they are armed to the teeth, they are nothing but cowards!”

Ye Shan stood up excitedly, waving his hands vigorously in the night: "Now, as the successor of the will of fire, I will change this cursed ninja world with an unprecedented determination. I will build a unified and prosperous country, my people will live happily and well, and the successors of my will will always hold the idea of ​​​​taking the peaceful unification of the world as their own responsibility to face one difficult and invincible problem after another!"

"For this goal, I will never frown even if I die!"

Senju Hashirama looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him with a serious expression: "You really chose a good successor, Monkey. You are better than me in this respect."

Sarutobi Hiruzen touched his nose awkwardly. He had never considered choosing Hayama as his successor. The entire ninja world could testify to that.

Ye Shan took a breath. He hadn't had such a big emotional fluctuation in a long time. "Whether it's ninja or civilians, if everyone invests chakra into improving life instead of fighting, then I firmly believe that true peace will always come, even if the process is long and difficult."

Senju Tobirama is a practical man who always thinks about things from the worst perspective: "Fourth Hokage, if you want to build a unified country, then war is inevitable. If you fail, the Konoha Ninja Village will really cease to exist."

"I will not start a war. Unification by force will inevitably be overthrown by force. In fact, the Chakra Reform is a bottom-up reform. Only when the people support the reform from the bottom of their hearts can we succeed."

"As for the unification of the ninja world, I believe that when the power pie is reasonably distributed, those in power will not mind joining the peaceful family in another way."

"It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Those in power will not give up their power easily." Sarutobi Hiruzen retorted. He had the most say in this point.

Ye Shan smiled confidently: "Since the enemy doesn't want to be decent, I will use my technique to help them be decent."

"War will not break out, but what if I can subdue an entire ninja village by myself? Those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish. It's a simple truth."

Payne questioned, "What's the difference between what you do and what we do?"

"There is no difference in essence. They are all fighting for their own ideas. But in terms of means, there is a big difference. I will not kill a person, but use force to force them to submit and accept ideological transformation."

Ye Shan drank the last of the tea in the cup, still unsatisfied, and said: "I have said everything I need to say. It is time to fight. The use of force to subdue the ninja world begins with you!"
