Chapter 21 About Peace

【First of all, I want to make it clear that absolute peace is impossible. 】

【Wherever there are people, conflicts will occur. It is not feasible to convince people with virtue like Hashirama Senju, impress the leaders of major countries with sincerity, and teach villagers with virtue and example. 】

"What are you talking about? What makes you say that the peace concept of the first generation is not feasible."

In the Hokage's office, Tobirama Senju and his six disciples heard Lin Tian say this about Hashirama Senju. As a younger brother, Tobirama did not say anything, but Koharu Utatane refuted excitedly.

"Koharu, you are talking here, the other party can't hear you."

"Calm down, Koharu."

"Didn't Lin Tian say that? This is just his opinion, don't be angry."

Everyone knows that Koharu Utatane's idol is the first generation, so they also understand Koharu's mood at this time.

After everyone's good talk, Koharu Utatane was finally appeased.

However, the look she gave the light curtain, or more precisely, the look she gave Lin Tian in the picture, was quite unfriendly.

[Secondly, the peace I am talking about here does not include the invasion of foreign enemies such as the Otsutsuki. If they are included, the ninja world may not be peaceful. ]

"Hmm? What is the Otsutsuki? What does foreign enemy mean?"

Tobirama had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he did not show them. He still looked at the light curtain with a serious expression.

[Okay, under these two premises, if the ninja world wants to be peaceful, I think we can refer to the history of our country. ]

[As we all know, our country is one of the four ancient civilizations and the only ancient country without a cultural gap. ]

[More than two thousand years ago, Qin Shihuang had already told us that only unification is the only way to achieve peace. ]

"Absurd, it's easy to say, does he know how many people would have to die if he unified the ninja world?"

When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another, thinking that what Xiaochun said made sense.

After all, you can't just say unification and others will surrender obediently.

This requires war to force the other side to surrender.

As long as war is launched, there will be no immortals.

Senju Tobirama came from the Warring States Period. He didn't know how many ninja families in the Land of Fire died before Konoha appeared, but if there were not 100,000, there should be 50,000.

This is just the number of deaths in the Land of Fire. If we really count the ninjas who died in the entire ninja world during the Warring States Period, there should be at least 200,000.

200,000, what an exaggerated number.

Everyone in the office shook their heads, thinking that Lin Tian's method was unreliable.

But the light curtain is here, they can't just go home and sleep, right?

They can only make do with watching.

It doesn't matter if they don't watch it, Lin Tian's next words directly scared them.

[According to historical records, when Qin Shihuang unified the world, he beheaded more than one million soldiers, and his own army also died hundreds of thousands of people, a total of more than two million people died, and then he unified the world. 】

"What? So many people died?"

"Too outrageous, too exaggerated."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, this person must be lying to us."

Looking at the disciples shouting, Tobirama immediately scolded them, "Calm down, look at you now, what are you talking about?"

With Tobirama's scolding, several people were forced to calm down.

"Teacher, so many people died to unify the world, is it really worth it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's question was exactly what the others wanted to ask. Tobirama did not answer this question. In fact, he also wanted to ask Lin Tian whether it was worth it.

[After Qin Shihuang unified the world, was there complete peace? ]

[In fact, no. ]

[Because this is the real great unification in history, which no one has ever experienced. ]

[Fortunately, Qin Shihuang was a man of great talent and strategy, and unified the writing system and the wheel gauge for cultural unification. ]

[It is precisely because of this first great unification that at the end of the dynasties that followed, no matter how many countries were divided, a strong man would appear to unify the mountains and rivers again. ]

On the screen, Lin Tian took a sip of water and continued.

[After saying so much, my meaning is very clear. ]

[Think about it, if Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had unified the entire ninja world, there would only be one country in the ninja world from then on, and everyone would be from the same country. ]

[Of course, hatred cannot be erased so easily. ]

[However, as long as Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha rule the ninja world steadily for decades, when the second and third generations without hatred are born, even if these two people suddenly die, the ninja world should not be in chaos. ]

[Because the second and third generations, who were born in a peaceful era, will not understand the grievances of the previous generation at all. As long as the successors of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are reliable, peace will continue. ]

"Teacher, do you think he is right?"

After hearing this, for some reason, everyone felt that what Lin Tian said made sense.

Indeed, war will kill too many people.

However, if long-term peace can be maintained, it is not impossible for some people to die.

At least they can sacrifice for peace.

"Maybe."

Tobirama still did not directly answer Sarutobi Hiruzen's question.

Because he has not yet figured it out, can unification really bring peace to the ninja world?

He still remembered that when Konoha was not yet established, his elder brother always told him: Fight violence with violence, and you will only get violence.

He always thought that his elder brother was right.

I killed you, and your relatives and friends came to kill me, and the people who killed me had to face the pursuit of my relatives and friends, and the cycle was like nesting dolls.

But here, he got a different answer from Lin Tian.

Fighting violence with violence does not necessarily result in violence, but may also result in unification.

As long as the second and third generations are born, even if the first generation of people with hatred want to make trouble, it will not be easy, because the first generation of people are old.

The more he thought about it, the more Tobirama Senju felt that unification was very reliable.

He wanted to start a war against Kumogakure immediately and bring Kumogakure Village into the territory of the Land of Fire.

Wait, the Land of Fire?

Oh, he just remembered that the ruler of the Land of Fire was the daimyo, not him, the Hokage.

So, before launching the war of unification, the daimyo had to be abolished?

Or, killed?

Tobirama wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Assassinate the daimyo?

This is impossible.

Without the daimyo, who will allocate funds to Konoha Village and who will rule the civilians?

Rely on ninjas?

Ninjas don't know these, they only know how to kill people.

Otherwise, the eldest brother would not have handed over the power to govern the country to others.

The more he thought about it, the more negative Tobirama felt.

Coincidentally, Lin Tian on the screen also talked about the limitations of ninjas.

He only used one word to arouse Tobirama's enthusiasm again.

That word is: learn!

This chapter was really hard to write, and I deleted more than 2,000 words.

I probably won't write similar plots in the future.

I felt bad writing it, and I guess the audience felt bad reading it too.

Why bother?

Right!
