Chapter 375: Chiba's Choice
"Stop, Chiba, there is no need to kill these remaining people. ”
In front of Chiba, a middle-aged man with slightly pale sideburns suddenly stood up and said.
"Teacher Liuxi..."
The person who came was a stream that had been separated from Chiba for many years.
In fact, when he led the team Yunin before, Chiba noticed him, but, because Chiba ran away at the most critical time of Xiao, Liuxi has been deliberately avoiding him, obviously, he did not forgive Chiba, and Chiba did not have a chance to say anything to him.
And now, at this moment, he has finally stepped up again.
Turning back to look at the Iwa Ninja Village behind him, Liuxi pointed to the people who were looking at their army in fear in the distance and said: "Right now, everyone who can have a little combat power, even some children, have also fought in the previous war with us, and the rest are basically civilians, or old people and children who have no combat power, and it is impossible to pose a threat to us anymore, so..."
Frowning slightly, Chiba looked directly into Liuxi's eyes: "Do you know what you're talking about?, no threat now, doesn't mean there will be no threat in the future, the hatred between us and them is impossible to reconcile, when they grow up again, are you sure they won't come to trouble us again?"
"Even if you're in trouble, it's not likely to pose any threat to you. Liuxi resolutely argued something.
"They don't have teachers, they don't have skills, and it's impossible to even get together again, their ninja villages in their heyday have been wiped out by you, and the remaining children who don't understand anything at all, what trouble can they bring you?"
"In particular, there are a large number of innocent civilians among them, I remember you said back then, you hate those who will spread the flames of war to civilians, if you kill them all, then what is the difference between you and those people back then? Here is not one person or two, but tens of thousands of people, are you sure you really want to kill them all?"
Hearing this, Chiba was also slightly silent.
Indeed, there are too many people here... Although there are not many people who have died directly or indirectly at his hands over the years, there are still too many people at the moment.
In his heyday, Iwa Shinobi was able to raise an army of 20,000, and correspondingly, the civilians and ninja relatives in the ninja village had 50,000 or 60,000, so if he really wanted him to do this, he was actually a little hesitant.
It's just that it's because there are so many people that it's a big problem.
It is undeniable that there must be a lot of civilians among them, but basically, they are definitely related to the ninjas, and there are many people who know ninjutsu and chakra, once they are spared, after a few years, it is not impossible to form another ninja village to wage war against them, after all, this is the entire generation of Iwa Shinobi.
"At least... Kill all the children and civilians who can be confirmed to have immediate family members who died in this war..."Chiba said indifferently, to some extent, this is already his compromise, although this compromise is still relatively cruel, and nearly half of the people who can be involved can be pulled.
However, Liuxi still refused to budge.
"Chiba, do you remember the purpose of our organization?" Liuxi firmly tugged at Chiba's hand.
"I remember that the concept we knew was written by you yourself, have you forgotten our dreams back then?"
Frowning again, Chiba said indifferently: "In fact, in my opinion, our philosophy back then may have been wrong, if we want to really bring peace, it is too difficult to rely on mutual understanding between people, almost impossible. Just like right now, it is impossible for the vast majority of people to give up the hatred of those close to them being killed, and I can assert that if these children of Iwa Shinobi are let go, they will inevitably pass on the hatred from generation to generation, and eventually continue to kill each other in an infinite cycle. ”
"And on the other hand, if I kill them all here, I will naturally put an end to the hatred of one side, and it is definitely easier for me to do this than to say mutual understanding. ”
With that, Chiba pushed away the stream and continued to walk forward.
"If Yahiko was here, he wouldn't allow it. Liuxi yelled angrily.
"Chiba, what is human life to you now? Every life is precious, isn't that what you said? Is this your choice to choose to sacrifice these existing lives for the sake of some possible trouble?"
"Yahiko..."
Hearing the word Yahiko, Chiba stopped slightly.
The ideals that Yahiko and he talked about back then were once again placed in front of his eyes.
And the members of the Akatsuki Organization who share their ideals in the past, they all believe that understanding can be reached between people, and as long as they persevere, they will eventually bring peace to this world.
It is also their aim to protect civilians and not harm innocents at all times.
Thinking of the past, Chiba suddenly became a little silent.
What would Yahiko do if she were here?
He's probably going to keep these people and try his best to defuse their hatred...
And at this moment, Xiao Nan and Nagato were also moved by the sentence that Yahiko would not allow it.
Xiao Nan hugged one of Chiba's arms tightly, and Nagato also looked at Chiba pleadingly.
After a long silence, Chiba closed her eyes slightly.
Suddenly, he recalled the past scenes, and finally froze on a figure that had long been blurred.
I still remember that when he first came to this world and participated in the battle between ninjas for the first time, the scar-faced man who looked fierce in Iwa finally chose to let himself go and gave him props to help him live.
If it weren't for his help, even if he hadn't been caught by those Iwa Shinobi in the first place, it would have been impossible for him to survive, and if you look at it from here, Iwa Shinobi would not have been unkind to him.
Although it is not clear what that person looks like, Chiba has long been clear, but the sentence that looks at you and allows you to live as much as possible is still fresh in my memory.
"Maybe... This is reincarnation, right?" Chiba suddenly opened his eyes and said lightly.
Since that Iwa Shinobi chose to let himself go regardless of the hatred between himself and them, then now, of course, he can also choose to let the other party go once.
"The order goes down... All these people are taken into custody, and all of them are scattered to the industrial and mining areas of the land country to be taken care of, and as for these children, find someone else to educate them..."
In fact, Liuxi is also right to a certain extent, and now the well-established Iwa Shinobi can be defeated by him, not to mention these children who have no teacher, no ninjutsu, and even no organization, they only need to take care of them and prevent them from learning Chakra, and they naturally have no possibility of revenge.
Even further, if his brainwashing education is done in place, it is not impossible for these people to be used by him in turn, with Nagato's soul-searching ability, at most, it is more troublesome, and it is enough to send out unstable elements on a regular basis, rather than killing these people, Nagato is probably more willing to trouble...
