Chapter 157: Visitation
War is a continuation of politics, and politics is a continuation of the economy.
Although he couldn't summarize such words, Sarutobi was keenly aware of the changes in the times.
The world of the future will be a great era that is completely different from the Warring States period!
Those who go along prosper, those who go against die, and the old way can no longer adapt to the changes of the times.
Why has the recent international situation been volatile?
It's not a question of "money" yet.
The widening economic disparities between countries are the root cause of the current situation. If the Second Ninja War really breaks out, then the economic disparity will be the main culprit, and the future history books will also draw a strong mark on this.
"Why?"
Ape Feiri pondered and meditated, but he couldn't think of an answer.
The world has ushered in a relatively peaceful environment, and trade between countries has increased, which has greatly improved the standard of living of the people, but the result has been an increase in friction between countries, which is unfair to say that I deserve more.
In the final analysis, it is human desire that runs rampant, and the ravines are difficult to fill.
Of course, this is all because Ape Fei Ri does not understand that capital comes to the world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and filth. If he had obtained this Das Kapital, perhaps he would have enshrined it as a holy text.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Ape Fei Ri came back to his senses.
Hagi Sakumo walked in and closed the door, "Hokage-sama." β
Not long after Hinata Chizuru left, Sarutobi sent someone to inform Hachiki Sakushige and let him come for a visit.
"Shuo Mao, do you think the Second Ninja World War will start?" Ape Fei Ri asked.
Qimu Shuomao was stunned, but he didn't expect that the first thing Ape Fei Ri asked him was this question; Shouldn't this kind of issue be discussed with an advisor?
However, since the Hokage asked, he replied: "Our Fire Country is located in the center of the world, with vast land and a lot of resources, and there are not many people in the country who are eager to fight, but other countries are different, especially the Land of the Wind, it is said that either war or disarmament may be attacked by the surrounding countries at any time. β
Qimu Shuomao paused for a moment and said in an affirmative tone: "Especially the country of rain located between the three kingdoms of fire, wind, and earth, because of the relationship between the transportation points, the trade is very developed, if the sand ninja really does it, he will definitely attack the country of rain, so as to alleviate the domestic contradictions." β
Ape Fei Ri Chop nodded slightly, he also felt that this was the reason.
The country of rain is a stinky and hard stone, how can there be a good thing in this world to take advantage of the light but not be beaten, the country of fire once threw an olive branch to it, but it was rejected, and I don't know where the confidence of this country comes from?
Just because of a Hanzo?
"There is a high chance that the Great Ninja War will happen again, and we cannot pin our peace on the mercy of our enemies." This is the conclusion reached by Sakushige Hagi.
Ape Fei Ri slashed: "Be prepared, this is indeed the truth, by the way, you should also know that in the morning, His Excellency the Daimyo asked us to sanction the unscrupulous merchant Fukuoka Daigui, and I handed this matter to Shimura Danzo to do, but I am worried that he will not be able to do it alone, so I plan to send you to assist him in his mission, and it is necessary to prevent the loss of state-owned wealth abroad to the greatest extent." β
"I see, Hokage-sama."
Unlike Hinata, Hagi didn't even ask why.
The Hokage gave the task, and he went to complete the task, only talking about obedience, even if it would cause a ninja war.
β¦β¦
After confirming that Uchiha Mikoto had arrived home safely, Hachiki Rin also quickly went to the meeting place that had been agreed in advance.
Next to a small hill, Jiraiya peeped into the public bath not far away from the hill.
When Hagi Rin also arrived at the meeting place, Ukyo was already waiting there. As soon as he saw Qimu Linye, he beckoned happily and said, "Linye-kun, Mai Qin has found it, and I heard that she has been sent home." β
"I've already heard people say it on the way, what about Tsunade-sensei?" Qimu Lin also nodded and asked.
"Tsunade-sensei said that there is something important to do, so I'll go back, let me stay and wait for you."
"Something important?"
Qimu Lin also suddenly thought of the problem of the Yin Seal. In fact, before that, Tsunade had an attitude of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days when he developed the Yin Seal. And judging from the reaction of the original Orochimaru when he first saw Tsunade liberating the Yin Seal, Tsunade even completed the Yin Seal development after leaving Konoha......
Qimu Lin also suddenly felt the need to urge Tsunade to speed up the progress.
At this time, Hagi Rin also found that Youkyo was staring at his face with a curious look, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything strange on my face? β
"Lin Yejun, you shouldn't be crying because you can't find Mikoto, right?" Ukyo asked curiously.
"No, I just stood too high and let the wind blow the sand into my eyes." Qimu Lin also cried and laughed.
He had tears streaming down his eyes in pain before, and it was estimated that Youjing had this kind of doubt when he saw those red eyes.
"Really?" Youjing was skeptical, but immediately said another thing: "Na Na Na Na, Lin Yejun, let's go visit Mikoto-san, right?" β
"Okay."
Qimu Lin agreed without thinking about it, but he was just about to leave, but he saw that Jilai also walked down the hill overgrown with grass and trees, and whistled, looking quite happy.
"Jiraiya-sama." Qimu Lin also greeted.
Jiraiya was obviously stunned and asked, "Do you know me?" β
"Tsunade-sensei mentioned that you and she are both Hokage-sama's disciples." Qimu Lin also replied.
"Eh, uncle, are you Tsunade-sensei's teammate?" Ukyo looked at Jiraiya curiously.
Compared with most people, Jiraiya's figure can be called tall, and he doesn't know what he grew up eating.
"Call brother!" Self-coming also emphasized.
At this time, he also remembered that the black imp in front of him was not the one Tsunade had a crush on.
"Jiraiya-sama, this is a good place." Qimu Pro also said.
"It's a place indeed." It's still unfinished.
"If it's okay, we'll take our leave."
After that, Qimu Lin also immediately pulled Youjing to run.
It was only at this time that Zilai was suddenly stunned: Could it be that the little ghost is a fellow believer?
Then, he remembered the rumors that Tsunade had a six-year-old fiancΓ© who was six years younger when he wore it before.
It's a pity that Qimu Lin has already pulled Youjing and quickly walked away.
The two went straight to the Uchiha clan, but they were not hindered, but the sudden intrusion of two strangers inevitably attracted all kinds of curious and vigilant eyes, after all, it was just the kidnapping of Uchiha Mikoto.
It wasn't until the two of them approached the center of the Uchiha clan that they were intercepted.
It was an Uchiha boy with a national character face, probably only about fifteen or sixteen years old.
However, after Hachiki Lin also explained his intentions, the Uchiha boy did not doubt him, but enthusiastically led the two to the door of Uchiha Mikoto's house. Compared with those aristocratic Biwa Zhuyong, the mansion in front of him is obviously not on the table, but in Konoha, it is also a rare mansion.
Not long after knocking on the door, a woman opened the door, somewhat similar to Mikoto Uchiha. It's just that the woman in front of her is a little thin, she looks sick, and her eyes are also gloomy and compassionate, which makes people very uncomfortable.
"Hello Auntie." The Uchiha boy said enthusiastically.
"It's Fugaku, are you here to find Mikoto?"
Hagi Rin also looked at the young man beside him in surprise - is he Uchiha Fugaku? [.]
