Chapter 236 You guys really made me suffer!
Ninja World No. 3.
On the third day after the Five Kage Talks, Orochimaru, the Fifth Hokage, also led Kakashi and his two brothers back to Konoha Village.
Although they only got along for less than a month.
But Kakashi's perception of Orochimaru has indeed changed a lot.
He still didn't like Aunt Snake's contempt for human life, nor did he like those various taboo studies.
But I have to admit it.
In terms of ability, talent, and skill, Orochimaru is indeed the most suitable candidate for the position of Hokage in Konoha.
It had been anyone else, or the Sandaime Sarutobi himself.
It is estimated that they may not be able to lead everything so smoothly in this Five Shadows Talk and finally achieve the establishment of the Five Villages Alliance Army.
only.
Kakashi still has lingering fears about the upcoming ninja war.
There was no way, Kakashi almost lost everything in the previous three battles, and it wasn't until they met Naruto more than ten years later that they gradually cheered up.
He is inevitably afraid of war and death.
This war launched by the five major villages united against the Akatsuki organization seems to have great advantages, but in the end, there may be a lot of casualties!
"Hokage-sama, do we really want to go to war?"
"What, are you afraid of war?"
Orochimaru glanced at Kakashi behind him and asked with a smile.
"It's not the fear of war, but the fear of death. Death is the end of everything..."
"Death is indeed terrifying. So I have been thinking of ways to defeat death. But, do you know what is more terrifying than death?"
"ah?"
"It's a meaningless death, a mediocre death, just like Sarutobi-sensei before..."
"I don't understand..."
Kakashi shook his head, isn't it good to be plain?
He just wants to live a peaceful life, catch some fish every day, read some pornographic books, complete a few low-level tasks, and live out his life smoothly.
How wonderful?
Is it right to die on the battlefield?
Aunt Snake saw Kakashi's resistance, so she said:
"Kakashi, you are still well protected by Konoha. In other words, you have never personally experienced the pain and hardship outside Konoha."
"ah?"
Aren’t you suffering enough?
Father, teammates, teachers...all of them.
Isn't this painful enough?
"Konoha is indeed very miserable. It is often targeted and attacked by other major villages."
"But Konoha is one of the five major villages after all, with the richest land and the richest heritage."
"Too many people covet Konoha."
"Sakumo, Lin, Minato...etc., it is their sacrifices that allow Konoha to survive to this day."
"The peaceful years you long for. In the eyes of other enemies, it is nothing more than a lack of progress and decay."
"Natural selection. If you want to live in this world and obtain sufficient survival resources, you must compete with others."
"If we don't fight this war now, it will just be delayed. In the next five or ten years... it will definitely break out."
"At that time, maybe someone else will besiege Konoha, and the battlefield will become Konoha's own village."
"The casualties at that time will increase more than ten times..."
Orochimaru's feelings were obviously deeper than Kakashi's.
He has been away from the village for many years and even founded the Sound Ninja Village.
For the four sound ninjas such as Kidomaru and Tayuya; as well as Jugo, Koryosu and others;
Not to mention the ordinary life that Kakashi longed for.
Just a mouthful of food, a single ninjutsu, or simply living; these are all extravagant things they long for in their dreams.
Meaningless starvation and violent death are the norm outside of Konoha.
Survival and resources.
They are all forcing them to fight and fight.
All villages are making progress, only Konoha is still decaying and weak, not wanting to make progress.
This is also one of the reasons why Orochimaru launched the [Konoha Collapse Plan] before.
He just wanted to give Sarutobi-sensei an exit stage worthy of his status, and then use that attack to stimulate the entire Konoha, so that the wind that destroyed Konoha would sweep across the entire ninja world.
Now, the opportunity has come.
Of course Orochimaru would not let it go.
If we don't fight today, will they let Konoha go when the Akatsuki organization expands further?
No kidding.
The struggle for survival between countries and villages is inherently cruel and bloody!
Of course, Orochimaru is the Hokage.
There is a part of him who wants to revive Konoha, but mostly it is for his own selfish desires.
If Konoha disappears, how can I find a stable research environment? Where did the large amount of precious research materials come from?
Not to mention the time travel and the remains of the gods promised by the Taoist Immortal.
Any one of them is enough to make Aunt Snake feel itchy and stay up all night.
Why don't we seize the opportunity to start a war and destroy the Akatsuki organization and the other four major villages?
…
Kakashi opened his mouth, wanting to refute something.
But he found himself speechless.
Not to mention comparing to other people, just comparing to the war orphan Kabuto on the other side.
Kakashi's half of his life can be regarded as rich and luxurious.
So I am not qualified to refute it at all.
"Then can Konoha win this battle?"
"Don't worry. We will win this round!"
Aunt Snake grinned, full of confidence.
Backed by the Yudō Sage, the first and second generation adults, and even Uchiha Madara.
Aunt She really couldn't think of the possibility of losing.
But even if they don't make a move, Orochimaru is still sure to win with his own ability and Konoha's potential!
...
After returning to the village.
Orochimaru immediately started the pre-war mobilization without too much fancy propaganda.
Only one mobilization message was issued:
That is: [All ninjas who participate in the war will be given three years of mission rewards! Those who have made meritorious service will be doubled! The pension for those who died will be tripled! Orphans whose parents were killed in the battle will be raised by the village until they reach adulthood! ]
Nearly 1 billion taels of compensation have been obtained from the Sand Village, plus 500 million taels of compensation that the Rock Village must pay in the future.
Konoha and Orochimaru are now focusing on being domineering and inhumane.
When in doubt, spend money to open the way.
The most direct and effective way.
I have to say that Aunt Snake is much more pragmatic than Sarutobi.
Just the fact that there is money to be made in the war is exciting enough.
As soon as this mobilization message came out, most of the ninjas in Konoha were boiling!
Ninjas are not paid, but they are invincible if they are paid!
Konoha ninjas are never afraid of wars, but they are afraid of not paying for wars.
In the previous several ninja wars, Konoha was beaten to the doorstep every time. Not to mention paying, they just gritted their teeth and endured.
Moreover, many war orphans did not even receive pensions after death, and even if they did, they were very tight.
Throughout the history of Konoha, there were almost no periods of affluence.
Konoha ninjas, who have long been crazy about poverty, have never seen such a tyrannical war incentive plan!
Fighting a war can earn a high bounty that cannot be earned by working as a cow or a horse for several years in the future.
Which ninja would not be tempted?
Moreover, many tasks that are a bit lucrative in normal times still require taking risks with their heads. In essence, ninjas are war machines.
Now it is just a change from working for nobles to working for the rewards of their own village.
But the enthusiasm that the latter can burst out is far greater than the former.
For most of the lower-level ninjas and ninja clans, talking to them about the so-called will of fire is simply like talking to a cow, and it has no effect.
But if you are willing to improve welfare benefits, or even directly give money and pensions.
Then you are the worthy Hokage!
Even if you don't, they will promote you to the position of Hokage!
