Chapter 132 Black Slave Examination
"Minato, I will always support you!"
Kushina hugged Minato from behind and supported him softly.
"Thank you, Kushina..."
Minato held Kushina's hand and responded affectionately.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, I'm here! Minato, just go for it, and I will always support you!"
Jiraiya, whose EQ was close to zero, interrupted immediately and laughed heartily.
As an orphan, he didn't have much to worry about.
Since he didn't have to travel later, he might as well work hard with Minato. Let's see if Minato can completely change the ninja village system and the entire ninja world!
"Teacher, thank you."
"Eh—what's there to talk about between us?"
"It's just that education reform is okay, there are always ways to restrain those ninja clans internally."
"But economic reform may easily break with the Fire Country and cause a war?"
Jiraiya became worried again.
He still prefers romance; he doesn't want to see war break out and people suffer.
"I know. So I want to use a more gentle way to slowly remove the village's dependence on the Fire Country; when the village can maintain more than half of self-sufficiency, even if the daimyo's mansion finds out, there will be a way out."
"But, what if the Fire Country incites other countries and ninja villages to deal with Konoha?"
Jiraiya's thinking is still limited to the cognition and worldview established since childhood.
Zhongjun's thinking is almost comparable to Danzo's brainwashing of the root.
This is unimaginable.
As a ninja, it seems to be completely against the monarch of the country...
Minato is a little better. He has been to Konoha in the late Warring States period and the early period of Konoha. He has seen Madara's attitude of looking down on the world and not taking the big country and the daimyo's mansion seriously.
Naturally, he has less respect for the Fire Country and the daimyo.
He knows more deeply that they have been using and enslaving ninjas.
"Whoever dares to attack Konoha, I will never show mercy!"
Minato made a harsh statement. Even the Fourth Raikage could not withstand the Tailed Beast Ball. He wanted to see which other ninja village could resist it?
To put it bluntly.
Now, except for Madara and Obito who are hiding in the dark, Minato no longer regards the other major ninja villages as the main threat.
"That makes sense!"
"With you here, the other major villages may not dare to take the initiative to provoke trouble."
Jiraiya smiled happily and became much more cheerful.
"That's right, I have long been dissatisfied with those high-ranking daimyo nobles. Many dangerous and deadly missions are issued by them."
"While lying in the midst of luxury, they encouraged ninjas to fight to the death."
"These termites should have been dealt with long ago!"
Kushina was also indignant.
Thinking of the destruction of the Hidden Uzushio Village, it is very likely that none of these major countries can escape the relationship.
Except that she was taken in by Konoha and Lady Mito.
The best proof is that none of the remaining Uzumaki clan members joined the five major countries, and all fled to small countries and villages to save their lives.
"Sir, do you know that the Whirlpool Country tragedy was related to these major countries?"
Kushina looked at Xia You expectantly, eager to get an answer.
This has always been a pain in her heart, and it has been difficult to resolve even after being buried for many years.
If she hadn't met Minato and became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she might have gone alone for revenge.
"The Whirlpool Country tragedy is related to several major countries!"
Xia You gave a positive answer.
Xia You didn't know who was the mastermind behind the destruction of the entire Whirlpool Village.
But it is certain that several major countries are indeed involved.
You know, the Uzumaki clan, who mastered many sealing techniques and was at the top of the core technology of sealing techniques, is almost as good as the five major villages;
Such a strong ninja village, only a few major hidden villages have the ability to destroy it overnight.
It may even be a joint action of several families!
Besides, everyone knows that your Uzumaki clan's sealing technique is so strong that it can even seal the tailed beasts easily.
It's equivalent to your family mastering the technology of launching and destroying nuclear bombs that threaten the whole world. Who else can they do?
Poor Uzumaki Village, they thought they could rest easy after forming an alliance with Konoha.
Unfortunately, they still underestimated the evil of human hearts...
"It's them! The Fire Country?"
Kushina looked painful and felt very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, Kushina, I will give you an explanation. If it is verified in the future that the Fire Country is involved, I will never tolerate it!"
Minato held Kushina and promised gently and firmly.
This is not only his promise to Kushina, but also his unwillingness for Kushina to extend this hatred to Konoha and Naruto.
This hatred should be cut off by yourself!
…
Xia You continued:
"Kushina is right. In the eyes of those big countries and nobles, you ninjas have never been regarded as human beings."
"Minato, why do you think each ninja village has to hold the Chunin Exam selection competition with great fanfare?"
"Well... to enhance the overall quality of Chunin; to screen out those unsuitable Genin, so that they don't risk death; and to strengthen exchanges with other ninja villages."
There are many benefits of the Chunin Exam, and Minato only picked a few key points to describe.
"You are right. But why should the Chunin Exam be open to the public, and even invite nobles and representatives from various countries to observe?"
"Hold it privately and then announce the rankings, the effect will be similar, right?"
"It can also keep some special ninjutsu secret to avoid being targeted after leakage."
Minato was stunned and hesitated:
"This... watching the competition publicly can increase the prestige of the family to a certain extent, right?"
"Yes, and no."
"The reputation and strength of the five major villages are not displayed by the Chunin Exam. Instead, it is the cruel baptism of war. Only the five major villages can survive."
"If you really want to show your strength, why not hold a Jonin competition?"
"This so-called Chunin Exam is more just to serve the nobles of various countries, so that those rich people know which village is strong, and they can come to that village for commissions in the future."
"After one competition after another, it is also one of the reasons why the powerful people of various countries never regard ninjas as human beings."
As a ninja, you are in the game.
It is difficult to have self-knowledge.
But if you jump out and watch, it will be much clearer.
Put the ninjas in a big cage to fight, and thousands of people are watching around, and there are even records of the nobles' prices.
Isn't this equivalent to the Colosseum and the slave trade field.
Come on, let me see.
Whose black slaves are stronger and whose black slaves are better at fighting.
From now on, I will place an order to hire or buy and sell black slaves from someone's family!
"Ah? This..."
Minato and the other two looked at each other.
Now that you put it that way, it really seems to be the case?
So the Chunin Exam, which all ninjas value, is just like a group of strippers posing and selling on the stage?
It's just that one side is selling beauty, and the other side is selling ninjutsu and life.
There is almost no difference in essence!
Only with economic independence can there be personality independence.
Children who rely on their parents' financial support are not qualified to disobey, and the same is true for ninja villages and ninjas who rely on big countries...
"So that's it, there is actually this factor..."
Minato nodded and pondered.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he felt that the control of the Fire Country over Konoha was so deep that it had reached a pathological level!
"But, it's normal to work in exchange for rewards, right?"
Jiraiya frowned in confusion, still a little confused.
He is an old pervert who travels around the world, can write books to make money, eat and drink for free, is extremely powerful, and has no family burden.
Of course, he cannot understand the heavy burden of ordinary ninjas.
Even as strong as Kakashi, who was seriously injured and dying in the hospital for a few days, he could not get a moment's rest after being discharged from the hospital. He was immediately thrown into the next task.
This is no longer a simple labor dispatch, and it can even be regarded as a kind of capital alienation of ninjas.
"Teacher, I also think that ninjas should not be reduced to killing tools of big countries..."
"Minato, do you want to cancel the Chunin Exam? This is too radical..."
"I..."
