From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 330: The Third Ninja World War, the Toughness of the Rain Country
As a buffer zone between major powers, the geographical location of the Rain Country determines its difficult situation.

In such a country, many people initially had the idea of ​​how to change the situation of the country.

This was the case with Hanzo at the beginning, and also with Yahiko later on.

However, in this world with supernatural powers, the power of an individual can reach the point where one person can defeat an entire country, and the gap between ninjas is sometimes greater than that between humans and dogs.

The Land of the Rain, a small country, and the Hidden Rain Village, a village with not much wealth, are powerless to resist the three major countries.

It is precisely because of this that the poison of the Salamander, with this kind of power, has found a new way, and it has the so-called demigod name, and it has given the Hidden Rain Village the bargaining chip to speak.

But human hearts are fickle, just like the navy in the world of pirates, those original dreams and wills have turned into other things over time.

At this moment, in the last row of the classroom, Hanzo's eyes were bloodshot.

A gruff voice came from the breathing apparatus.

"The end of a person is not when he is about to die, but when he has lost all faith."

"Sir... I haven't lost my faith, but everything I've experienced in the past ten years... has left me helpless."

Hanzo clenched his hands, "During the Second Shinobi World War, the Land of Rain once again became a place for the three great nations to vent their power. I made a lot of efforts at that time, but I was the only one who could stand on my own in the Hidden Rain Village!"

"The Land of Fire, Konoha: The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Anshi Village of Ninjas Danzo, the White Fang of Konoha, the Three Ninjas..."

"The Land of Wind, Sand Village: The Third Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo, and Rasa..."

"Iwagakure Village of Earth Country: Onoki, Loess, Kari..."

At this point, Hanzo looked at Kuroyama Yahiko and the others and said, "Not only that, thanks to the tailed beasts given to them by the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, they have mastered the destructive power of the Jinchūriki."

"And what does the Hidden Rain Village have? There is only a leader who relies on the poison of the salamander and carefully obtains the title of demigod. In comparison, I don't see any hope for peace in the Rain Country."

Although his eyes were bloodshot at this moment, there was no greed in his gaze when he looked at Nagato.

He raised his head and looked at Kevin: "Please teach me, sir, what is the future of the Rain Country? With such a huge disparity in power, how can we make the Rain Country peaceful?"

For a moment, the students looked at Kevin again.

Yes, with such a huge disparity in power, where is the future of the Rain Country?

Even Yahiko, who was naive in the past, has changed his mindset in half a year.

If talking is useless, then if we are not as strong as others, can we just passively take the beating? Why can't everyone sit down and talk things out?
Nagato on the side also thought of his parents, who were killed by Konoha's ninjas in the war, and he became an orphan.

Peace...what exactly is it?
Xiaonan looked at the gentleman on the podium.

For some reason, she always felt that perhaps the peace that the gentleman was talking about was not just the peace of the Rain Kingdom.

As expected, the next moment, the gentleman said: "It is very simple to bring peace to the Rain Country. I will go to the ninja villages of the five major countries now. After demonstrating my power, peace will naturally come to this country."

"Just like the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, decades ago, he shocked the entire ninja world with the power of the God of Ninja. When he wants peace, peace will come."

"No one can disobey, and no one dares to disobey. The combat power that transcends levels can directly silence everyone and make everyone dare not cross the red line even a step."

“But is this really peace?”

The rhetorical question reminded everyone of the historical materials that the gentleman had narrated in the past.

The First Ninja World War broke out shortly after the death of Hashirama Senju.

And because it took so long to settle, the casualties caused by this Ninja World War were also enormous.

"At the first Five Kage Summit, the Kazekage of the Sand Village put forward their demands: land."

Kevin continued, "The area in front of the Wind Country is huge, and there is almost no land suitable for farming, so what they urgently need is land."

At this point Kevin looked at Yahiko and said, "The conversation you kept talking about half a year ago can now be put into practice. The Five Kage Summit is about to begin. What do you think should be done to get them to shake hands and make peace?"

"The Fire Country has fertile land, the Wind Country needs land, and the Earth Country, Lightning Country, and Water Country are also keeping a close eye on Konoha."

"How do you think we should talk about this?"

Yahiko, who was called, stood up, frowned and remained silent for a while.

"Maybe we can give the Fire Nation some of it?"

Hanzo on the side sneered: "Separate? Kid, do you know how complicated the interests of a country are? The teacher said before that ordinary people produce food, cotton, spices and other basics, the nobles harvest taxes, and the daimyo holds great power."

"As a military force, the ninja village is responsible for war and receives financial support from the daimyo. Ninjas do not engage in production and are paid in the form of missions."

"Which piece of land should be divided? Which noble's territory is willing to hand it over? If so... is there any meaning for ninjas to exist?"

Heishan on the side also spoke up: "And the teacher also said that human greed is endless. Give a little today, and another little tomorrow, and it will be endless."

"Also, after the war ends, the population will increase dramatically. For example, if a couple has four children, the population will triple in twenty years."

"In this case..."

At this point, Heishan seemed to wake up, stood up and looked at Kevin: "Sir! The real obstacle to peace is food! It's resources!"

resource……

The gentleman had mentioned this word more than once in the past, but it was only at this time that everyone associated it with peace.

"The essence of war is the plunder of resources."

Kevin nodded slightly: "Heishan is right. The rise of war is fundamentally about resource plunder. And regardless of winning or losing, the number of non-productive ninjas will decrease dramatically in every war."

"So even if we don't win, we can still alleviate the problem of lack of internal resources. After all, the difference between ten people and five people is twice as much."

After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Everyone understood the root cause of the war and was thinking about how to solve the problem of resources.

Expand farmland?

No, there is no point in expanding farmland because there is no point in reclaiming it if there is no one to work on it.

And as the population grows, the amount of wasteland that can be reclaimed naturally becomes less and less, and eventually there is still a shortage, thus leading to wars.

So……

Xiaonan raised her hand: "Sir, can we let the ninja work? There are physical clone techniques, and various attribute ninjutsu, which can reclaim wasteland and farm..."

Before she finished speaking, she shook her head.

Not everyone in this world can become a ninja...

According to historical records, the Sage of Six Paths distributed his chakra to his followers, and generation after generation, the current families were formed.

Only those with chakra can become ninjas, and the descendants of ordinary people will always be ordinary people.

This is a world of ninjas... It is impossible for an individual with power to engage in things like farming.

No.

Perhaps from today on, it will no longer be just a world of ninjas.

……

A week later, the sentence on the blackboard in the school was changed again.

【Science and technology is the primary productive force】

……

As time goes by, this school in the Rain Kingdom has become a holy place for the entire Rain Kingdom.

The leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo of the Salamander, who is known as a demigod in the ninja world, calls the teacher of this school "Sir" and shows great respect.

At the same time, small-scale disputes in the ninja world have been going on for a long time.

The Kumogakure envoy went to Konoha, but was about to kidnap Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. In the end, he was rescued by a ninja in his teens.

Konoha White Fang committed suicide.

As in the previous two Ninja World Wars, Konoha was surrounded by enemies for various reasons, and the ninja school system created by the Second Hokage began to speed up the graduation time of students.

In the Second Ninja World War, the three disciples of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen were awarded the title of the Three Ninjas. They were also gradually valued. Until the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village in the Wind Country disappeared inexplicably, the Sand Village immediately pointed the finger at Konoha in order to divert internal conflicts...

The Third Ninja World War broke out.

……

It was also on this day that the last class in the Rain Country's school was held.

In two years, the school has grown from the original six people to the current forty-five people.

The power of the Hidden Rain Village, which was originally the center of power, was also transferred to this school.

"gentlemen."

Hanzo bowed slightly, "The third Kazekage of the Sand Village in the Wind Country is missing. These days, their Anbu have entered the Rain Country one by one to investigate Konoha, resulting in six civilian casualties."

Hearing this, Kevin, who was still writing in the textbook, paused.

"Have Kuroyama and Hongyun lead the team to arrest the Sand Ninja who attacked the civilians, notify the Wind Country, and then publicly execute them."

"In addition... the thirty-six lecturers who will attend the class will start building thirty-six schools in the Rain Country."

"At the same time, in the name of the leader of the Rain Village, you tell Konoha, Sand Village, and Iwagakure that they are not allowed to enter the Rain Country. This time it is a small punishment, but next time you are found, kill them all."

Hanzo bowed slightly, "Understood."

……

Three days later, the Rain Country was near the border of Konoha.

The six-man Anbu team of Sunagakure was currently carrying out a reconnaissance mission, hoping to inflict heavy casualties on Konoha before the war began.

"Konoha's defenses are still so tight. The previous questioning has made them alert."

"It looks like this mission will have to last a few more days."

"The food we stole earlier is almost gone. We need to find another family from the Rain Country."

"Although the rules prohibit attacking ordinary people, ordinary people in the Rain Country are not from the Wind Country."

"The Third-Hai was murdered by Konoha, all for revenge..."

"Make sure to mark the point and change to the next outpost."

"clear."

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly stopped.

The perception ninja in the team looked into the woods: "Rain ninja?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the masked Rain Ninja appeared.

And from the woods below, Heishan walked out carrying a huge axe.

"The ability to sense chakra is such a headache... If it weren't for preventing you from escaping, I could have avoided being discovered by myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, a puppet suddenly leaped up and rushed out behind him.

Obviously, the Anbu of Sunagakure were not stupid, and the leading jonin also made preparations before the mission.

Although this preparation was originally intended to deal with Konoha, Konoha has not noticed it now, so they can decisively kill the Rain Ninja who came to disturb them and continue with the next task.

The person who came was not the so-called demigod, so the Sand Village felt no pressure at all.

Because even the Jonin of the Hidden Rain Village are far behind the Hidden Sand Village in terms of the foundation of the technique.

But the next moment...

"boom!!"

An explosion sounded, and the opponent suddenly turned around with an axe in one hand and swung it, knocking the puppet into pieces with one blow.

"How is that possible? The captain's beast!"

The team members exclaimed, and the leader of the Sunagakure jonin also looked serious.

He just hooked his fingers, and under the traction of the chakra lines that were invisible to the naked eye, the broken puppet parts on the ground moved.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

A series of blue glowing thousand-blade bullets spurted out. The deadly poison in them could ensure the lethality, and the size of the thousand-blade bullets could ensure the attack area and quantity.

The puppet was smashed to pieces, but he was still careless and suddenly attacked from behind. Seeing that the opponent didn't react, he knew he was dead!
"how come?"

With a cry of surprise, Heishan turned sideways and slowly moved forward. None of the thousands of swords that were shot at him from behind could hurt him.

This scene stunned the Sand Ninja.

How could a sneak attack from behind be avoided so easily?

The Rain Country has such a technique? How is it possible!

Heishan, who was opposite him, immediately set his sights on the senior ninja who seemed to be the leader.

"boom!"

The ground collapsed instantly, and Heishan had already rushed towards the opponent, but his target was directly at the woods behind the opponent.

"boom!"

Under the impact, a jonin was grabbed by the throat and punched at the same time.

"Boom."

There is no doubt that an ordinary Sand Village jonin was captured alive at this moment.

The team leader was arrested, but the team members he led did not run away at this moment.

"Rain Country, what do you want to do?"

"Let them go! Otherwise, Sunagakure will crush you to the ground!"

"Looking for death?"

"You actually used despicable means to deal with the captain. Aren't you afraid of causing a war?"

……

Heishan looked at them and said, "Whether I kill you or not, the war will break out. So it doesn't make any sense to be afraid or not."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared again.

Upon hearing this, the people on the opposite side also exploded and began to form seals with their hands quickly.

"boom!!"

"You are too slow in forming hand seals. Is this what a ninja is? In the time it takes to form hand seals, you have already died several times."

Several figures flew out.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the entire team was arrested by Montenegro alone.

Such a battle did not arouse Heishan's interest at all. From beginning to end, he didn't even use his own weapons.

"Tie them up."

One by one, the Rain Ninjas landed on the ground and tied up the Sand Village ninjas together.

"You bastards want to die?"

"Dare to resist! The Rain Country will be destroyed!"

"Think about what you are doing, idiot!"
