Chapter Ninety-Three: A Difficult Choice
At night, Konoha's camp was full of laughter, although there were occasional discordant cries faintly sounded, but they had been ignored by everyone, and at this moment people gathered together to cheer for today's victory, almost everyone could already predict that it was Konoha who won the war, except for a very few people who were still calm, most people worshipped Conan as a hero.
"It seems that we have won this war, I haven't fought such a happy battle, those guys in Yunren are completely frightened."
"It's too early to say that you won, didn't Lord Lujiu say that Yun Ren's main strength is still there, and it's not time to be easy yet."
"What are you afraid of, even if they have more people, what use can they have, it's a big deal to let Lord Conan put on today's technique, and keep them until they kneel and surrender."
"That's right, but Conan-sama is really strong, I was scared stupid at the time for that kind of ninjutsu, but fortunately, Conan-sama is from our side."
Listening to these people's overly blind optimism about the war and their praise of themselves, Conan shook his head helplessly.
"That guy Thunder Shadow is not such an easy person to succumb, besides, in general, Yun Ninja's strength is still suppressed by Konoha by the same level, and I can only use that technique once, so it's too early to say that the situation is settled."
"Ahh It's Conan-sama! ”
"It's Lord Conan!"
Everyone who saw Conan saluted one after another, which was a sign of respect for the strong.
Conan waved his hand and walked towards Shikaku's headquarters.
"Conan, you're here." Shikaku glanced at Conan, and continued to stare down at the map, writing and drawing.
"There is information from the three generations, and the Sand Ninja Village, which had already had the intention of surrendering, saw that Yun Ren had started a war with us, and once again organized a large number of troops to attack the border of the Fire Country."
Conan nodded: "It is reasonable, Sha Ren will not be willing to fail in vain, since he has the opportunity, he will naturally resist." ”
"However, because of the civil strife caused by the death of the Sand Ninja Wind Shadow, as well as the large number of deaths of the previous elite Shinobi, the Sand Ninja is not a concern." Shikaku came up with a piece of information: "The key is the reaction of Iwa Shinobi and Mist Shinobi, they have both displayed heavy troops on the border. ”
Hearing this, Conan's brows gradually furrowed, not to mention whether Konoha is dangerous, once it really fights, the entire ninja world will probably have countless casualties, hundreds of people will be displaced, and these people will be the main force to deal with the White Absolute Legion in the future.
"We don't know if they're just doing it just in case or if they really want to do it, but we can't afford to bet, Conan I have a plan to end the war early."
"Huh? What is the plan? Conan was suddenly a little surprised when he heard Lu Jiu say this.
Lu Jiu was silent for a moment
"I think you might be able to put that ninjutsu right here." Lu Jiu pointed to two places on the map and said: "Daohuashan City is the most prosperous city in the Land of Thunder, and Cloud Drum City is the Kyoto of the Land of Thunder, if you directly attack Yun Ninja Village, I am afraid that you will attract the desperate revenge of Yun Ninja, but these two places are different, if you attack these two places, as long as you avoid the daimyo and some nobles, forced by the huge pressure in the country and the fear of you, I think the ** of Yun Ninja will choose to strike the war." ”
"Do you mean to let me attack civilians" Conan lowered his head deeply, his voice trembling a little.
"Conan, of course I understand that maybe this means great pain to you, but war is not a child's play, since it is a war, you should do everything, if you don't do this, once the ninja war breaks out, the number of deaths will be countless times that of this number, I hope you can make the right choice."
Conan was silent for a long time
"I'll think about it first"
Just as Conan was about to walk out of the camp, Lu Jiu suddenly said: "Conan, I don't think there is much time left for you, even if I can wait, but Iwa Shinobi and Mist Shinobi may not wait, once they declare war, you must implement this plan as soon as possible, this is an order." ”
"I see."
After a few moments, Conan slowly walked out of the tent with blank eyes.
The advice of three generations suddenly reappeared in Conan's mind.
"Conan, if you want to become the Hokage, you must learn to make yourself cold-blooded, for the greater good of the village, you have to make some even painful choices, and at the same time be prepared to bear the consciousness of bearing this pain, it is because of my incomparable love for this village, so I have to make all kinds of decisions for the future of the village that even I find difficult to accept, I believe that Conan If you want to realize your ideals in the future, you will face such a choice more than once"
"I won't compromise with this world, I don't plan to learn this kind of awareness, and I don't want to face such a choice, I will become strong enough, strong enough to single-handedly upset the whole world."
In the end, it's still a matter of strength, is there really no other way?
Conan muttered silently, "Three generations of adults, what you said is really accurate, I am now faced with a choice, but I don't have the ability to challenge the world. ”
"Conan" Jirai also suddenly appeared by Conan's side.
"It's Mr. Jiraiya." Conan relaxed after a moment's slight vigilance.
"I already knew about Conan, but I don't know how to comfort you"
In a corner of the camp, Conan and Jiraiya discussed it for a long time.
"Jiraiya-sensei, why do you think things are like this? Why are there so many careerists, and why do we have to have this war? Why do you have to make a choice? ”
Jiraiya was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "You know what? Conan, I have had the same confusion as you, and even faced the same choices as you. ”
"I've killed many children much younger than you, and I've had to kill a lot of civilians for some purpose, and I've always regretted doing these things, but I had to do them, even though they would make me feel incredibly remorseful and painful."
"That's why I have such a desire for peace, and so much for the world you are talking about."
Zilai also looked into the distance, his eyes full of memories: "I can't give you the answers you want, because I haven't found the answers myself, and you need to find these answers yourself." ”
"Reality is sometimes like this, forcing you to make some cruel choices, I just hope you don't be blinded by such things, maybe it's an inevitable pain on the road to the peace you say."
Conan was silent for a moment, then jumped suddenly.
"Where are you going, Conan?"
"It's not the last moment yet, I have to find a solution."
