Chapter 180: The Truth and Cruelty of This World

Let the rope tree go to farming!

When the yellow ape put forward this idea, he expected it to be opposed by the top management of Konoha.

Rope tree is the grandson of the first generation, the descendant of the Thousand Hands clan, and his identity is destined for the path he will take in the future.

Inheriting the glory of the family and becoming an elite ninja who can take charge of his own affairs is the village's hope for the future of Rope Tree.

Although after transplanting the intercolumnar cells, the Rope Tree failed to awaken the Mu Dun Blood Inheritance Limit that everyone expected, but the weakened Grass Dun also has good potential in the eyes of the "Ninja Professor" Ape Fei Sun Chop.

After transplanting the intercolumnar cells, the further strengthened physical fitness and chakra, coupled with the Grass Escape Blood Inheritance Limit, as long as the rope tree can grow normally, it is definitely a stable shadow-level powerhouse.

In the eyes of Konoha higher-ups, the value of a future shadow-level powerhouse is higher than that of a farming expert, at least in Konoha.

The Land of Fire is fertile and abundant, and there is no shortage of food, and as the official military organization of the Land of Fire, Konoha has never been worried about the lack of food.

Not to mention those chambers of commerce that open shops in Konoha and sell materials, just the annual release of materials by the Fire Nation official can meet Konoha's food needs.

At the same time, Konoha itself has a lot of farmland, and although the food produced by it cannot fully meet the needs of the village, it is still no problem to hold on for a few months during the special period.

All in all, Konoha is not short of food, and the daimyo and nobles of the Fire Country are not short of food, and they want top-level powerhouses more than food.

Considering that human energy is limited, the rope tree invests too much energy and time in researching farming, which will inevitably delay his growth and affect the upper limit of what he can achieve.

This is the fundamental reason why the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash and the two advisors opposed the Yellow Ape's proposal to let Rope Tree study farming.

There are only two people in the village who support the Yellow Ape's proposal, one is Tsunade, the sister of the rope tree, and the other is the Yellow Ape's uncle, Danzo.

Tsunade supports the yellow ape, on the one hand, because he is persuaded by the great prospects depicted by the yellow ape, and on the other hand, because if the rope tree is transferred to a research post, he will not have to go on a mission, let alone go to the battlefield, and his safety will be greatly improved.

As for Tuanzang, he was initially against it, but Yellow Ape persuaded him with just one sentence.

As long as the research of the rope tree can produce results, Konoha will be able to achieve food self-sufficiency and reduce the influence of the Fire Country government on Konoha.

There was no need for much, this reason alone made Tuan Zang instantly change his camp and stand on the side of the yellow ape.

The support of the two has helped the yellow ape a lot, but what can really decide this matter is the rope tree itself.

For the suggestion of the yellow ape, for the prospect depicted by the yellow ape, he is still a teenager's rope tree, and he can't make a decision for a while.

He wants to revive the glory of Thousand Hands, he wants to make a career that surpasses his grandfather and second grandfather, and he also recognizes Yellow Ape's analysis and suggestions.

On the path of ninja, he will not be able to catch up with the achievements of his grandfather and grandpa in his life, and it will be difficult for him to realize his ideals.

And on another path, with the goal of making everyone in the world have enough to eat, he may be able to make a great cause far beyond his ancestors.

Rope Tree understands this truth, but the education he received since he was a child, the high expectations of his elders, and the ideals of his childhood all tell him that becoming a ninja and becoming an excellent ninja who can take charge of himself is what he should do.

The shackles of tradition, the ideals of the past, made the rope tree afraid to make a decision, one he knew might be the right one.

Rope Tree told his sister about his inner entanglement and hesitation, and then Tsunade relayed it to Yellow Ape.

"I see, leave it to me!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Take the rope tree out for a walk."

"You mean I understand, then the rope tree is for you."

Tsunade is not a rope tree, she has done missions, been on the battlefield, and has been to many places, she understands that those civilians, especially those in small countries, live in poverty.

After reaching a consensus with Tsunade, Yellow Ape found the rope tree again, so that instead of making a decision right away, he would travel with him outside the village.

The rope tree, who has always lived in the village and rarely leaves the village, did not hesitate too much and agreed to the yellow ape's request.

After Rope Tree agreed, the rest of the matter was simple, Yellow Ape found the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash according to the regular procedures, and asked him to go through the procedures for leaving the village for himself and Rope Tree.

For the behavior of the yellow ape, the ape Fei Ri has a little headache.

We were still arguing in the morning, and you found me in the afternoon and said that you wanted to take him to the village for a trip?

We're still arguing! Can you not jump out of this way? Kidding?

"Where are you going with the rope tree?"

Smoking a cigarette, Ape Fei Ri Chop wanted to make an angry appearance, but when he saw the yellow ape's face, especially the slightly obscene smile on his face, Sape Fei Ri Chop couldn't get angry.

"Just walk around, old man, why do you have so many questions? Just sign it. Standing at the desk with a hippie smile, the yellow ape put the list on the table and urged.

With a sigh, Ape Fei Ri probably guessed the intention of the yellow ape, didn't he just want the rope tree to see the people's suffering, and use the kindness in the child's heart to influence him to make a decision.

"Yellow Ape, tell me the truth, did you let the rope tree study farming, did you want the village to be self-sufficient and get rid of the influence of the daimyo and nobles?"

"That's what I said to fool my uncle." The yellow ape explained with a smile.

"You didn't think that yourself?" Ape Fei Sun Slash looked at the yellow ape scrutinically.

It's not that he doesn't trust the yellow ape, it's just that Ape Fei Ri is worried that he, the successor, will be affected by Tuan Zang.

Konoha wanted to maintain relative independence, but for the daimyo and nobles, Sarutobi still advocated maintaining the political concept of the current pattern.

Today's peace and balance are very rare, and Ape Fei Ri does not want a good situation to be broken.

"Old man, you know my character, if I really want to rebel, the Fire Nation will be gone long ago." The yellow ape replied with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future." Educating in his mouth, Ape Fei Ri Chop still stamped the yellow ape's application to leave the village.

"Thank you, dear Ape Fei Sensei!" Picking up the list from the table with a smile, the yellow ape raised it in the air, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Yellow Ape!" Looking at the back of the yellow ape, Ape Feiri shouted, "Remember to come back early, school will start in half a month." ”

"Got it!"

In response, Yellow Ape left the Hokage's office.

After getting the permission to leave the village, the yellow ape didn't pack up any salutes, and after preparing enough money, he left Konoha with the rope tree.

"Yellow Ape, where are we going?"

"Let's go to the country of stone and the country of grass."

If you want to go, you will go to the worst, in order to make the rope tree grow faster, the yellow ape is ready to take him to the poorest and most chaotic countries to see.

"Okay!" Rope tree, which has never been to two countries, said with great anticipation.

For this trip, the rope tree that has never been abroad can be said to be very much looking forward to it, and the exotic atmosphere is really attractive!

With full of anticipation and excitement, the rope tree followed the yellow ape and left the village on foot.

And then, soon, soon! Rope tree found out that he was careless!

As it got farther and farther away from the village, the rope tree that had not yet stepped out of the territory of the Fire Country, under the special leadership of the yellow ape, passed by many villages.

The backwardness and poverty of these villages in the Land of Fire are beyond the imagination of the rope tree.

The leaky wooden house, the patched clothes, the thin body, and the numb eyes are all "scenery" that the rope tree has never seen.

As the travel route progressed, the excitement and anticipation in Rope Tree's heart slowly faded, and his words became less and less.

On the third day after leaving the village, Rope Tree couldn't hold back anymore when he watched a farmer throw the baby in his hand into the water.

He rushed forward and saved the baby who had almost drowned.

Holding the crying baby, the rope tree questioned the farmer, why did he do this?

Then, Rope Tree received an answer that shocked him even more and made him unacceptable.

The baby was the farmer's own child, and the reason for his drowning was that the family could not afford to raise it.

In backward areas where contraception is not available, families who cannot afford to raise too many children will put their newborn babies into rivers and drown.

This is not a tradition of the farmer's family, but of the whole village, the whole region.

These are the messages that the rope tree forced after blocking the farmer who was fleeing in fear.

Looking at the baby in his hand, looking at the farmer as a matter of course, the rope tree froze, and a fire rose in his heart, but he didn't know where to burn.

Blame the farmer? But he really can't support him, and he can't sell his children.

Blame the government here? But Konoha is also a member of the government.

Blame the nobles who rule here? But isn't Konoha their protector?

Let the farmer leave, the rope tree with the baby in his arms, and look at the yellow ape beside him a little helplessly.

At this moment, maybe only the yellow ape can give himself the answer!

"Follow me."

The yellow ape did not give a direct answer, he took the rope tree and continued to walk along the river.

Walked through a dirt slope, walked through a field, walked through a sparse bamboo forest, and finally stopped in front of a wasteland with many dirt bags and a simple stone statue in the middle.

"Here?" In fact, Rope Tree already had a vague answer in his heart, an answer he didn't want to hear.

"It's all drowned babies buried here." The yellow ape gave the cruel answer.

His body was trembling, his mouth was open but stuck, and the rope tree stared blankly ahead, inexplicably uncomfortable.

Shoved the baby in his hand to the yellow ape, the rope tree covered his mouth, turned and ran backwards.

Ran out of a distance of dozens of meters, ran into the bamboo forest, rope tree held on to the bamboo, retching.

The yellow ape, who was holding the baby, did not follow at the first time, he lowered his head and reached out to tease the little guy who no longer cried.

Two small hands raised and grabbed the yellow ape's slender index finger, and the baby suddenly laughed, as if he knew that he was safe.

This chapter was written relatively slowly, and I started writing it at four o'clock, and I had a meal in the middle.

Two more chapters, keep up the good work!
