Chapter 12: The Strange System, The Chains of Hatred
In the end, the precocious little girl still didn't ask Mo Wen about the fate she should have experienced - since she had chosen another path, she had to go on unswervingly...... There's no turning back anyway, so try not to regret it.
When he said this, the little black god looked indifferent, but Mo Wen could clearly feel the confusion in his disciple's heart...... However, this kind of thing is really troublesome, and Mo Wen is powerless, I just hope that this talented apprentice of mine can untie it by himself.
The next two days were peaceful, and the hospital patients had regained their ability to move freely - the two guys with broken spines were able to walk around the camp in the makeshift wheelchairs made by their companions.
However, except for one guy, the other travelers still did not have the ability to go to the battlefield to fight - the guy named Liu Bin had injured his left arm like the sky, and now he is half healed...... The rest of the guys are basically the level that a trained adult can hit the ground.
After getting along with this group of guys for two days, Mo Wen gradually grasped the way to get along with this group of strange people - to put it simply, either ignore Dafa, and the other party will shut up when he is tired; Either fight with them and use your mouth cannon and the lower limit to make him bow down...... The former Mo Wen is familiar with it, and the latter Mo Wen has not won once so far.
and a group of professional teases than these...... Mo Wen is also not lightly ill.
[But this kind of life is not bad......] Listening to this group of guys talking seriously, a smile appeared on the corner of Mo Wen's mouth. [Let's take a vacation......
β¦β¦
"So one side is definitely better than Jin Shining!" A guy stalked his neck: "If you don't accept it, you can argue!" β
I just laughed...... How could that white-haired middle two be the opponent of the Hero King? A spectacle sneered: "Are you obedient to the sword an ornament?" β
"Fool! Vector manipulation is perfectly capable of reflecting it back. β
"The obedient sword can even split the heavens and the earth, and it can't break a small vector reflection?"
"Split the heavens and the earth? Are you kidding me? Do you eat white rice with the earthly consciousness Gaia and the human consciousness Alayya? That sword also bullies and bullies the inherent enchantment, and even the attack that my king's Avalon can block still say to split the world...... Gee! β
"That's not something that a small vector reflection can stop! You support him just because you're a lolicon like him! β
"How do you tarnish people's innocence out of thin air? Lori is innocent, otome is energetic, and the royal sister is enchanting, all three have their own strengths, and I'm a good man in full control! β
β¦β¦ The argument at the beginning was like this, but as the guys watching the battle continued to 'join the war' and quarrel, it became:
"Don't you understand the simple reason that a man wants to drive a Gundam?"
"Heresy! Zagu is the choice of a real man! β
"Are you looking for trouble? Federal Dogs! β
"The Alliance is fearless! Eat me and strike bravely! Tribal pigs! β
Hey, the Federation and the Alliance are two different things, I haven't heard of the god running into Azeroth with a free attack!
All kinds of funny and unfunny stalks emerge in endlessly, and there are even more slots, which makes Mo Wen, who was listening on the sidelines, have the desire to complain.
The bunch of pit gogglers chatted and drank, and soon they all became a little drunk - the travelers were not weak, and even during their injuries, it was okay to consume some alcohol.
At this time, Hao Ren, the strongest among them, took advantage of his drunkenness and invited Mo Wen.
"Master...... You are also a member of my Tao. The mummy put his arm around Mo Wen's shoulders and spewed wine in his mouth: "Do you want to join us?" I know the Boss once invited you...... I mean join the Konoha camp...... I'm sure you've seen Naruto, and Konoha is treated well. β
"I don't want to go to war." Mo Wen gently pushed away Hao Ren, who was a little incoherent: "I'm tired of this kind of meaningless thing." β
"How could it not be meaningful! We are fighting a just war! A traveler next to Hao Ren retorted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
"There is no justice in war." Faced with the question, Mo Wenyun replied lightly: "Also, you are drunk." β
"I'm not drunk!" Although the traveler's cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were shining, and he really didn't look drunk: "Our joining will end this war as soon as possible and reduce casualties...... Isn't it just to do this? β
ββ¦β¦ You think too highly of yourself. Mo Wen shook his head: "With your strength, it is not enough to affect this level of war. β
"Then your strength is definitely enough!" The traveler raised his head and stared at Mo Wen tightly: "To be asked by Boss Cang to take care of us, our strength is definitely higher than that of us before we were not injured!" β
The quarrel of the other pit goods gradually quieted down, and everyone's attention was focused on the argument between Mo Wen and the two.
"Indeed...... With the strength of me and the firmament, I should be able to make a small splash in a war of this magnitude. Mo Wen didn't deny it, he also had his own arrogance: "But why should I help Konoha?" Is it just because it's the protagonist's home? β
"Don't you think that if you want to end the war, the most powerful Konoha Ninja Village is the most suitable choice?" The traveler raised his voice again - there was a soundproof barrier to stop him anyway, "As long as we can help Konoha dominate the ninja world......"
"Another naΓ―ve guy......" Mo Wen put his hand on his forehead: "It seems that the sky is really tired...... You say that you will unify the ninja world, what method are you going to use to unify the ninja world? β
"Forming an alliance, of course!" The traveler ignored Mo Wen's taunt and said impassionedly: "As long as this war is won, Konoha will take advantage of the great victory to talk to the leaders of various ninja villages face to face...... We still have three years to go, and if we work hard, we can definitely change all that! β
"You're thinking too simply." Looking at the high-spirited young man, Mo Wen sighed: "This kind of thing, with our current strength, can't be completed in a few decades." β
"And do you think Konoha really thinks we're allies from unknown sources?"
Speaking of this, Mo Wen couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Ziyu when he first arrived......
======================
"Konoha White Fang's actions won't take all the ninjas away." Mo Wen stood in the camp and looked around: "The defense force of this stronghold is quite complete, and there is also Konoha defense line in front of it...... I really don't understand what the sky is calling me to do. β
ββ¦β¦ What he didn't worry about was Konoha. Zi Yu gathered her voice into a line and sent her words directly into Mo Wen's ears: "You also know that in the eyes of ninjas in this world, we are guys with secret art inheritance. β
"So what I want to pay attention to is not the invasion of foreign enemies, but the black hands of allies?" Mo Wen pursed his lips: "This task is really not simple. β
"You can understand it that way." Zi Yu looked back: "So please, among the travelers we know in this world, you are the only one who has this strength." β
======================
"So what?" The traveler also seemed to know that this ninja world spy was rampant, but he still didn't want to admit defeat: "We will find a way to get Konoha's approval!" β
"Okay." Mo Wen raised his hand in surrender: "Since you want to change this world, do you understand this world?" The productivity of the population, the population of various countries, the way of existence of the state and the ninja village...... Do you know all this? β
"This ......" The traveler was speechless for a while, he had completed many tasks with the large army, and had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness and customs and culture of this world, but he had no concept of what Mo Wen said.
"Is it just a passion? What a naΓ―ve child......" Mo Wen made up for it mercilessly, and then said in a deep voice: "Then let me tell you the truth of this world!" β
====================
During the Warring States period, the ninja village was not established, and the ninja organization fought as a clan, but the country already existed by then. Between countries, and even between different factions of countries, ninjas are used to play games.
It is said that the average life expectancy of ninjas at that time was only thirty years.
Later, the first Hokage Senju Tsuruma and the Uchiha family patriarch Madara Uchiha formed an alliance to establish the Konoha Ninja Village, and the competitiveness shown by the united Senju and Uchiha is obviously not comparable to ordinary ninja clans. So in order to survive, all the ninjas located in the Land of Fire either join Konoha or leave...... In this way, the ninja world of the Fire Country is the world of Konoha.
Then, this huge war machine swept across all directions under unified command, and the Fire Nation grew rapidly; Other national forces and ninja clans have realized that if they are not unified, they will definitely not be able to resist the pace of Konoha and the Fire Country. So after the bloody storm, in addition to the small countries that serve as buffer zones between the cracks or the inconsequential neutral countries, there are five behemoths in this world, which are the five ninja powers.
============================
"Hey, we know what you're talking about." Someone in the audience was dissatisfied. "We've seen Naruto, too."
"Don't worry, we have a lot of time anyway, don't we?" Mo Wen was not angry: "Where did I go?" Yes, it's the formation of the five great ninja powers......"
============================
After the success of the Thousand Hand Pillars, various countries followed suit, and the ninja organizations basically occupied a country based on a village, and there were only five giant ninja villages, and the leader was the five shadows we are familiar with. However, after the formation of the pattern of one country and one ninja village, the relationship between the ninja organization and the state changed...... In the past, the relationship between the ninja and the state was just an equal transaction, you pay and I contribute, and the money and goods are paid, and each does not owe each other; After the formation of the pattern of one country and one ninja village, the ninja village and the country formed an interdependent relationship: the ninja village, as the exclusive tool of the state, maintained the rule in peacetime and defended the country in wartime, and the state also provided the ninjas in the ninja village with a basic salary...... Just like civil servants.
However, the two are not the same system!
===========================
"To put it bluntly, although the Daimyo of the Fire Nation can influence the activities of the ninjas, they do not have the right to directly order the ninjas!" Mo Wen looked around at everyone and said softly.
"So what?" The traveler who had initially argued with Mo asked.
"If you were a ruler, would you put up with a force that was not your own?" Mo Wen sneered: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?" The ninjas belong directly to the Hokage, and the so-called daimyo sanction them financially at most. β
"Does this have anything to do with our goal of dominating the ninja world?"
"Of course it matters...... Mo Wen stared at his eyes, "Do you know how this fragile and balanced order of the ninja world was formed today?" β
"The original Hokage is invincible in the world, and Madara Uchiha is also a peerless powerhouse second only to the pillars, and the two of them can join forces to overturn the river and the sea, and it is easy to destroy a country or something...... But why didn't they unify the ninja world? Mo Wen said word by word: "It's not that they don't want to, but they can't!" β
"Because even if they can destroy the whole world, they can't sustain it."
"Why did the first generation divide the tailed beasts, and why did those four villages accept it like this, have you thought about it? If they didn't have the confidence to bite off a piece of Konoha meat, how would they dare to accept the tailed beast that the first generation gave them? β
"How many people are there in this world? The land of light has a population of nearly a billion! There are at least tens of thousands of officials who maintain this country! β
"How many ninjas are there in this world? Konoha is currently the largest ninja village, but there are nearly a thousand ninjas, and the total number of ninjas is less than 100,000! β
"At that time, the Thousand Hands Pillar and the Uchiha Madara were fully capable of dominating the ninja world, but as a price, apart from the two of them, the Thousand Hands Clan and the Uchiha Clan estimated that there would be no one left, and those ninjas who had just joined Konoha were estimated to be backwater...... Because the price is too great! It's too big to accept - not only will important people be killed or injured, but entire civilizations will take a big step backwards. β
"The two of them are unparalleled in the world, and the original Konoha does have the power to destroy any country...... But if it does, it will be the enemy of the whole world! β
"Remember! It's the whole world, not the whole ninja world. Mo Wen's voice was serious: "Even the Daimyo of the Fire Nation will not support them in doing this!" β
"Why?" The traveler asked unconsciously.
"Why? The reason is simple. Mo Wen said softly: "In the case of the heroes, the Daimyo of the Fire Country can also threaten the Konoha ninja with the economy, but if only Konoha is left in the entire ninja world, then can Konoha directly kill the Daimyo and become the ruler of this world?" β
"At that point, the ninja class will become the nobility of this world...... And this is not allowed by the existing aristocracy and the rich. β
"Maybe there are ninjas who want to change that...... But is it possible? Mo Wen sneered: "The years of war have accumulated countless hatreds, as long as there is a ninja organization that shows this sign, it will definitely be wanted by all the rich and nobles, and then they will be completely wiped out by other ninjas and enemies who have fallen to the ground!" β
"Ninjas get paid for their quests, but there is more than one ninja......"
"What's more, even with powerful ninjutsu, ninjas are still human!" Mo Wen sighed: "Even if you can harvest food and water from nature, you will still be tired, afraid, and lonely...... A ninja can't live alone in the world, so they don't have the courage to challenge the rules unless he wants to destroy the human civilization in this world. β
"The ninja village and the country may be weakened, and they may be destroyed...... But there will definitely be latecomers to make up for it. Mo Wen concluded: "This is the balance that exists between the five ninja villages and the five great powers, fragile and resilient. β
"Alright, I'm done." Mo asked a smile and looked around at everyone, including the Lori trio, who were also attentive: "How is it, it's funny." β
ββ¦β¦ This is ridiculous! One traveler had a strange look on his face: "The weak take advantage of the gap between tradition and the strong to dominate the strong...... The sheep of the lions? β
"I guess the ......mouse that put the bell on the cat," another observer sighed, "I really didn't find out that the ruling system of this ninja world was so ...... Interesting. β
The guy racked his brains to come up with such an adjective.
"I'll tell you something more interesting." Mo Wen smiled badly: "You must know that ninjas not only take on black tasks such as assassination, intelligence, and espionage, but they are also responsible for water conservancy, construction and even farming. β
"And the labor efficiency of an ordinary shinobi with qualified physical skills can be at least comparable to that of five prime-age buffaloes, not to mention those who use soil to build houses and build reservoirs."
"But the ninjas' income is completely disproportionate to their output. If you don't often take on tasks, you can't even achieve food and clothing.,The middle ninja is almost well-off.,Only guys above the upper ninja can live a nourishing life...... Don't talk about the life of the young Naruto, he lives in Konoha Village, and there is a subsidy, one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, so he has money to spare, what if he drags the family with his mouth? Not to mention that Konoha Shinobi, who is stationed in a remote city, doesn't have such a good welfare package...... Needless to say, the rest of the ninja villages. β
"Where does the money go? The rulers of the population took the tax money, the landlords who owned the land took the rent, and the farmers who owned the seeds of the crops took their share...... Exploiting layer by layer, this group of guys is like capitalists squeezing the surplus value of the lower ninjas. β
"Of course, I'm not criticizing this method, but the things that Shinobi got are too little, and they are completely disproportionate to their labor." Mo Wen sighed lightly: "Hatred will eventually fade with time, and the superiors also know the balance between the country and the ninja village, so what drives the ninja world war to happen again and again?" β
"Naturally, the ninja can't survive anymore, which leads to war...... You must know that Ninja Village can also take on the tasks of people from other countries! β
"The ninjas of small countries are fighting to the death for the little resources that slip through the fingers of those who are in power, and the big countries are fighting one ninja war after another in order to maintain their majesty and try to expand...... Hatred sprouts in the war, then joins with the hatred that preceded it, and gradually becomes a chain of incomparably hard bonds that bind all the living. β
"New and old hatreds are accumulating...... If no one breaks the chains of hatred, one day the hatred that erupts will burn the whole world to ashes. Mo Wen shook his head: "Nagato is a good example...... In fact, have you noticed, the villains in the Hokage are still sensible, thoughtful, and have their own goals that they will never regret, if there is really a peerless powerhouse who only knows wine and wealth, and is cruel and brutal, can you imagine how much damage this kind of person will cause to this world? β
"Having said all that, which of you still has the ambition to dominate the ninja world now?" Some of them swallowed their saliva with a dry mouth, and the well-behaved little black god hurriedly handed over a glass of water.
"And what are you like this?" A muffled voice came from the traveler's throat.
"Huh?" Mo Wen was a little puzzled.
"I mean, what are you like this?!" The young traveler's shoulders trembled, and he roared angrily: "I know everything and have this strength, but I just sit idly by, using my lack of strength as an excuse to satisfy myself by curing diseases and saving people, without trying to change the world...... Are you so afraid of death? β
"Don't ask for that kind of person!" The little devil retorted loudly, but before she could say anything else, she was stopped by Mo Wen, and the monk stood up expressionlessly, stared at the traveler who was asking him, and said softly:
"You're right, I'm afraid of death." Mo Wen's voice was soft, but all the travelers present could hear it clearly: "To this world, I am just a passerby, and to me, the people of this world are just inconsequential beings...... Why should I give my life for them? Sacrificing my companions? I can't afford to do good. β
"You're just hypocrite!" The young man sneered: "What can this palliative but not curative method save?" β
"Then you can cure the symptoms again? Even if you can dominate the ninja world, wars will happen...... If you divide for a long time, you will be together for a long time, but it is just another reincarnation. Mo Wen smiled sarcastically and ignored him.
"We're going to put an end to this!" And at this moment, Hao Ren, who had been quietly listening to Mo Wen's narration, spoke: "Although we cannot avoid war, we will try our best to reduce its occurrence...... Aristocrat? Wealthy businessman? Ninja? None of this can stop us, because we are travelers who walk between time and space, people with infinite possibilities and miracles! One day, we will be able to break the chains of hatred! β
Feeling the firm will in the words, Mo Wen felt his heart touch slightly, but he didn't show it, but naturally smiled at the mummy who was looking directly at him without fear.
"In that case, then I wish you success as soon as possible."
β¦β¦
Thousands of miles away.
"We've completely crossed the country of Kawano, and to the west is the territory of the country of wind." Konoha's white fang expression was awe-inspiring: "These days, we have defeated three ninja brigades in a row, and everyone is tired when they think about it...... We'll rest here for the night today and continue our rush tomorrow! β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, in the tent of Qimu Shuomao.
"Your Excellency White Fang, according to your observations these days, the combat effectiveness of the sky has not decreased significantly." A ninja with white eyes bowed down in front of the desk: "But those hired ninjas don't have any other small actions, except for the usual wandering skeletons, they take the lead in wartime and are willing to be injured for their companions...... Looking down, they are all quite good ninjas. β
"That's why I'm worried." Konoha White Fang shook his head: "What kind of place can cultivate such an excellent group of ninjas......"
"Recently, we have won a series of victories, and our news must have leaked." White Fang squinted: "After breaking into the Land of Wind tomorrow, we will face the biggest test in this war!" β
"Firmament, don't let me down......"
β¦β¦
At night, Hao Ren dragged the traveler who had a big quarrel with Mo Wen to the outskirts of the stronghold.
"Captain Hao Ren, I'm ......"
"I get it...... Zhou Zheng, I know you hate war, but you have to remember that no one is a savior. Hao Ren changed his previous hanger: "We travelers are not only miracle people who can travel through time and space, but also mortals, so there is no need to put such a heavy burden on ourselves...... If you know two stark examples of Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu, you shouldn't make such a mistake. β
"I want to change the world...... Isn't that right? Zhou Zheng's eyes were confused.
"Of course you're not wrong." Hao Ren replied, "But there's nothing wrong with asking Mo. β
"With great power comes great responsibility...... He didn't take his responsibility, but he was wrong! β
[This kind of young secondary two is the most difficult! ] Lao Yang, nurse...... I just want to be my sister's life coach! Hao Ren, who missed his friends very much, lamented from the bottom of his heart, but the smile on his face did not change: "Xiao Zhou, you must know that not everyone in this world is a saint, and we have no right to force others to accept our views, let alone let others sacrifice for our beliefs......"
"If you really want to change the world, try to be stronger." Hao Ren patted him on the shoulder: "Changing those destined tragedies was originally the goal of our two-dimensional Tongmeng Society." β
