Chapter 1241: Insights
The parties in Konoha are still different from modern society. There is a large room with a rectangular dining table, and everyone's meals are placed on trays. But before the dinner started, everyone politely stood in other rooms and talked.
Tsunade told Duran that the current situation on the mainland was definitely against Konoha's current scholarly culture. She believed that if this continued, Konoha would be crippled. So she went straight to Dulan and asked, can reading bring world peace and prevent other villages from attacking Konoha?
Even Dulan could only answer: No. "The principles in the book can only restrain yourself, but cannot restrain the ninjas in other villages. If they really come to attack, naturally they cannot use the book to resist them."
Tsunade said in her heart that Duran is quite sane. Sure enough, people who can tell so many truths are very wise. They are not simple idealists, but have real vision: "Then I hope that sir can tell Konoha the same thing." Ninja, don't let them waste their ninjutsu."
"Do you think there will still be war between the five major countries?"
"Be prepared." Tsunade said: "I only know that ninjas from other countries are always prepared. If we in Konoha are not prepared, we will suffer."
Dulan nodded: "Although I understand your idea, I don't agree with it. The reason why you oppose Konoha people reading is entirely because the content in the book has not been integrated into Konoha's bones. If you insist on it for another ten or a hundred years, The people of Konoha turn culture into civilization, so no matter what war, Konoha cannot be destroyed. Even if the village collapses and ninjas are killed, the civilization they represent that embraces all rivers will not disappear and will leave an eternal glory in history. "When the time comes, whether you are a member of Konoha will not be judged by your forehead protection, but by your code of conduct and your moral values. Even if the ninja era changes, Konoha will last forever."
...Dulan's remarks about civilization made Tsunade unable to react. This theory, which transcends material and national boundaries, transcends time and space, simply turns a country or an organization into a flower that never fades, forever showing its beauty to the world. If Konoha could really become a spiritual civilization, it would be really beautiful. But this kind of thing obviously cannot be accomplished by one person, nor can it be accomplished within a period of time. It's not that Tsunade underestimates Duran, even if Duran is the real Wenquxing who comes to earth, he can't single-handedly turn Konoha into a... What he calls immortality.
However, it cannot be said that Duran is bragging directly. Tsunade wants to remind him in another way: "Of course what you said is very good, and I also yearn for it, but I am afraid that it is impossible for us to achieve it with just one generation and two generations. Konoha disappeared before the inheritance of culture, so didn’t everything you said come to nothing?”
It seems that Tsunade is indeed worried about the current situation of Konoha. She is indeed the one who wants to be Hokage. A few days ago, she was a carefree sheep in the casino, but now she has to worry about the future of Konoha.
Tsunade wanted to use Duran's prestige to quickly reverse the situation. If Du Lan stood up and asked everyone to study less and practice ninjutsu more, the effect would definitely be outstanding.
"I already understand your concerns, but I really can't let everyone put down their books. They have finally found a piece of pure land in a war-torn world, and know that there is fun besides fighting, which is very valuable. Although reading is weak, it is It’s very practical and a good way to make people forget about the war.”
Why are you so stubborn? Tsunade was helpless: "Sir, I am not against reading, but if you are weak, you will be beaten. Konoha can study without preparing for war, but if other villages attack, how will we respond? By then, the lives of your readers will be in danger. "
"You have to read books, and you have to practice ninjutsu, so let them take care of both."
Tsunade looked at Dulan's light and airy look and wondered, could she handle both things? Everyone only has so much time, and if you read too much, you will have less practice.
Dinisha helped Duran and said: "My husband is like this, he has a childish temper. I know what you mean. Now my husband is compiling an encyclopedia of ninjutsu. Once completed, it will definitely improve the strength of Konoha ninjas, and knowledge can change their destiny. Books can correct people's hearts, and that's the most important thing. "Your worries about the future are biased. The future may not be war or decline, but it can also become better because of books."
"You and your husband are both knowledgeable people, but you have never experienced war or seen those malicious intentions. Sometimes if you don't protect yourself, no one can protect us."
"We know, but have you ever thought about it, Konoha is now the largest village. If Konoha imitates other villages in preparing military strength, will they think Konoha is just trying to protect itself?" Dinisha Obviously more suitable for debating with women than Duran.
...Tsunade was stunned, of course she was trying to protect herself, why didn't they believe it? But she also said before that everyone else has malicious intentions. She thinks that the other villages are preparing to attack Konoha, so other villages will naturally think so. Besides, Konoha is number one, isn't the preparation of strength to annex other villages, is it just to look good?
Tsunade soon knew that Dinisha's words were right.
"So if Konoha doesn't want to give other villages an excuse to attack, it can't build a strong military force. Instead, it should keep a low profile and read more books and train less." Denise said: "There is no perfect way in this world. Konoha can either become a lion with bared fangs and claws, showing its strength to the whole continent, so that other villages dare not move lightly, but in this case, Konoha's image in other villages will naturally be very bad, making them hate Konoha even more. Or it can be restrained and show a gentle image. Holding a book in hand is always gentler than holding a kunai."
Denise's words made Konoha's current embarrassing position clear. Tsunade immediately agreed that there is indeed no perfection. There are gains and losses, it just depends on Konoha's choice.
Tsunade knew that the teacher had always hoped that Konoha could be gentler, and she actually had similar ideas to the teacher. If it really went as she said before, then the village's gentle image might turn into militarism. This goes against Konoha's style.
Duran secretly gave his wife a thumbs up, and easily convinced Tsunade from a different angle, worthy of being his good wife.
"My husband can certainly help you change the atmosphere of Konoha, but changing it doesn't mean Konoha will be safe." "So go back and think about it carefully, and choose a path you think is good. Isn't this the job of the Hokage?"
Tsunade has grown up. Yes, now she is the Hokage, and she can no longer act according to her own ideas. She must consider Konoha and must consider everything before making a decision. She must not be as subjective as this time: "Thank you for your teaching, I know what I should do, I will come to you again, please take care of me in the future." Tsunade thinks that she can ask Denise to be her consultant. Duran's wife is really a rare woman with insight.
