Chapter 615 Persuasion
"Huh! Aspirations and interests? I didn't expect Skywalker to act like a profiteer. Kazuma said with a look of disdain: "It's a pity that our positions are naturally hostile, and if you want to reach a to, unless you are willing to give up everything in Konoha and be loyal to the Daimyo!" But are you willing?"
The other five radicals also sneered when they heard this, how could they abandon Konoha and join the daimyo with their origin and status as Skywalkers? The positions of the two sides are at odds with each other, and there is not the slightest room for manoeuvre.
Rope Tree shook his head as a matter of course and said, "Born in the Thousand Hands Clan, it is impossible to turn his back on Konoha in this life. β
Kazuma said with a cold face: "The opposite of you is that we will never be able to throw ourselves at Konoha in our lives!" So without further ado, either let us go, or ...... Just kill us! β
The other five ninjas also had a generous expression.
"It seems that you are all ninjas with strong beliefs." Instead, Rope Tree nodded appreciatively, "I think you must not be so hostile to Konoha purely out of loyalty to the Daimyo, but for another reason, right?" I'm curious about why? You know, even the daimyo can't do without the protection of Shinobi Village! β
Kazuma and the others did not respond to the question of the rope tree, and looked like they were waiting for death with their eyes closed.
In the face of everyone's refusal to cooperate, Rope Tree laughed instead of anger: "Don't you want to say it? Then let me guess! Your idea should be that all ninjas accept the rule of the Daimyo. Then the original intention must not be for power, and it cannot be because of patriotism. The only reason is that you want ninjas to be fully integrated into the normal world, right?"
After listening to the rope tree's speculation, Kazuma suddenly opened his eyes, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he simply nodded and admitted: "Sure enough, it's worthy of Skywalker, you guessed right, our purpose is to let ninjas completely integrate into the social system of ordinary people!"
During the Warring States period, ninjas and ordinary people were still a whole, and at that time, ninjas were just a combat profession, no different from samurai, and were respected and loved by everyone! However, since the first Hokage founded Konoha and implemented the system of one country and one village, most of the ninjas have been concentrated in the ninja village and have become a group independent of ordinary people. Gradually, the gap between ninjas and ordinary people grows, and they are regarded as aliens and even the source of world turmoil!
If it continues like this, then sooner or later the ninja will split with ordinary people, or even become outright hostile! Although ninjas have power, ordinary people are the foundation of the world! Without the support of ordinary people, ninja is a rootless technique of sourceless water! Sooner or later it will be overthrown and perished! So the only way out is to accept the rule of the daimyo in order to be able to reintegrate into the collective of the human race, and the Hokage is the main culprit that leads to the conflict! β
"Bang Bang!" Rope tree looked at Wama and applauded: "Wonderful discussion! I can't imagine that there is anyone other than me who sees the relationship and future of ninjas and ordinary people so thoroughly, which is really amazing wisdom!
Your Excellency is right, ordinary people are the foundation of ninjas, but now the contradictions between the two classes are getting bigger and bigger, and if you don't make changes, ninjas will die out sooner or later.
But I don't agree with your philosophy! Ninjas have powers far beyond ordinary people, how can they be willing to submit to a daimyo who has no power?"
Kazuma retorted with a gloomy face: "Don't forget that the daimyo controls the power of the entire country, even if the ninja is strong, he must be fed and clothed, and he can naturally control it through resources and systems, just like our guardian ninja twelve......"
Rope tree shook his head and interrupted: "Your Excellency's idea is not too naΓ―ve! This world is essentially the law of the jungle! Without the supply of the Daimyo, can't you steal and rob it? Mastering power will breed ambition and desire! If there is no rule of Shinobi Village, ninjas will surely run amok and fight on their own, recreating the chaos of the Warring States period! Then the whole world will be in chaos! And without the protection of the Hokage and Konoha, I am afraid that the Fire Nation will be destroyed and divided by all countries as soon as possible, and then everything will return to the original point, just a change of rulers. Your plan is completely unrealistic, and there is not the slightest possibility of realization! β
Kazuma's face changed constantly, he only now found out that there were so many loopholes in his plan, he thought that he only needed to overthrow the Hokage, and everything would be solved, but now it seems that without the Hokage, there are more problems.
Seeing his reaction, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he said confidently, "Actually, if you want a ninja to reintegrate into the ordinary people, there is not only one way to surrender to the Daimyo. Why don't we think differently and make ninjas rulers? Wouldn't it be more reasonable for the weak to obey the strong?"
Kazuma shook his head with a decadent face and said, "This is impossible!" The number of ninjas is too small to rule the entire country! Even with the power of the ninja god, he can only rule one village! Otherwise, the system of one country and one village would not have been implemented in the first place, wouldn't it be better to directly let the Hokage rule the country and even the whole world?"
"Then find a way to increase the number of ninjas!" Rope Tree said confidently: "Don't hide it from Your Excellency, I already have a feasible plan and am working on ......."
Rope Tree once again elaborated on his ninja civilization plan, and after listening to it, Kazuma hesitated and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying: "Nowadays, ordinary people have a deep prejudice against ninjas, especially the officials and nobles in power and the merchant class are very jealous of Konoha, if ninjas want to replace the daimyo to gain the right to rule, it will definitely cause a civil war." Even reform plans will be resisted! In the event of civil unrest, the entire Fire Nation would be in danger. β
Kazuma didn't realize that he had unconsciously thought about things from the standpoint of the rope tree and Konoha.
Rope Tree had expected this, and nodded: "Although the Shogunate basically controls the power of the center now, if the financial investment is in the cultivation of ninjas, it will inevitably be resisted by the superstructure.
But what if we made all these superstructures homogeneous?"
"Like-for-one?" Kazuma asked, a little confused.
"I plan to open a noble ninja school in the national capital in the name of the government, specializing in educating the children of officials and nobles and top wealthy merchants to learn ninjutsu, and the daimyo is currently only three years old, which is the best age to learn ninjutsu, just in time to join the aristocratic school to study. What do you think will be the effect of this aristocratic ninja school after it is held?" Rope asked with a meaningful smile.
Hearing the intention of the rope tree, Kazuma said excitedly: "If the daimyo study in this aristocratic school, someone will inevitably send their children to study in the ninja school as a political speculation!" Once the opening is opened, more and more people will join, and eventually the entire upper class will flock to the aristocratic ninja school, and even the most stubborn resistors will not be able to hold out for long, because if they do not join, they will be excluded from the mainstream. When all of these children become ninjas, all the ruling class will be transformed into the ninja class. When the time comes, there will be no obstacles to the ninja reform, and the ninja can also become the ruler of the Fire Country, and when the reform is completed, the ninja population will increase, and the ordinary people and the ninja class will be completely integrated, and finally become a real ninja civilization! β
