Chapter 21 About Peace
[First of all, I want to make it clear that absolute peace is impossible. 】
[As long as there are people, conflicts will inevitably occur. It is not feasible to convince people with virtue like Senju Hashirama, to impress the leaders of major countries through sincerity, and to teach villagers through his own example through virtue. 】
"What on earth are you talking about? Who are you to say that the Shodaime's concept of peace won't work?"
In the Hokage's office, Senju Tobirama and his six disciples heard what Lin Tian said about Senju Hashirama. As his younger brother, Tobirama didn't say anything yet, but Koharu went to bed and rebutted excitedly.
"Xiaochun, if you speak here, the other party can't hear you."
"Calm down, Xiaoharu."
"Didn't Lin Tian say that too? This is just his family's opinion. Don't be angry."
Everyone knows that Koharu's idol is the first generation, so they also understand Koharu's mood at this time.
After everyone talked, Xiaochun was finally comforted.
But the way she looked at the light screen, to be precise, was that of Lin Tian in the picture, which was quite unkind.
[Secondly, the peace I am talking about here does not include the invasion of foreign enemies like Otsutsuki. If they are included, the ninja world may really not be at peace. 】
"Huh? What is Otsutsuki? What does foreign enemy mean?"
Tobirama had a lot on his mind, but he didn't show it, and still looked at the light screen solemnly.
[Okay, under these two premises, if the ninja world wants to achieve peace, 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 told us that unification is the only way to achieve peace. 】
"Absurd, to put it simply, does he know how many people will need to die if the ninja world is unified?"
Everyone nodded when they heard this, thinking that what Xiaochun said made sense.
After all, you can't just say unification and others will surrender obediently.
This requires the use of war to force the other party to surrender.
As long as a war is launched, no one will die.
Senju Tobirama came from the Warring States period. He didn't know how many people died in the ninja family of the Fire Country before Konoha appeared, but there were not one hundred thousand, and there should still be fifty thousand.
This is just the Fire Nation alone. If we really count the number of ninjas who died in the entire ninja world during the Warring States Period, there should be at least 200,000.
Two hundred thousand, 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?
I can only make do with it.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Lin Tian's next words shocked them.
[According to historical records, when Qin Shihuang unified the world, he beheaded more than one million soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of his own troops died. A total of more than two million people died before he unified the world. 】
"What? So many people died?"
"It's outrageous and exaggerated."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, this person must be lying to us."
Seeing the disciples yelling, Tobirama immediately scolded them, "Calm down, look at you like this now, what do you mean?"
With Tobirama's scolding, several people managed to calm down.
"Teacher, it took so many people to die to unite the world. Is it really worth it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's question was exactly what several other people wanted to ask. Tobirama did not answer this question. In fact, he also wanted to ask Lin Tian whether it was worth it.
[When Qin Shihuang unified the world, would there be complete peace? 】
【Actually not. 】
[Because this is the true unification in history, which no one has ever experienced. 】
[Fortunately, Qin Shihuang had great talents and broad plans, and his books and texts and his carriages were in the same track to achieve cultural unification. 】
[It is precisely because of this first great unification that at the end of the following dynasties, no matter how many countries were split into, a strong man would appear and unify the mountains, rivers and the land again. 】
On the screen, Lin Tian took a sip of water and continued.
[After saying these words, my meaning is very obvious. 】
[Think about it, if Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had unified the entire ninja world, from now on, there would be only one country in the ninja world, and everyone would be members of the same country. 】
[Of course, hatred cannot be erased so easily. 】
[However, as long as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara rule the ninja world safely for decades, and when the second and third generations without hatred are born, even if these two people die suddenly, the ninja world should not be in chaos. 】
[Because people like the second and third generations who were born in peaceful times will not understand the grudges of the previous generation at all. As long as the successors of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara are reliable, peace will continue. Go down. 】
"Teacher, do you think he is right?"
After hearing this, for some reason, everyone felt that what Lin Tian said made sense.
Indeed, war kills too many people.
However, if long-term peace can be maintained, then it is not impossible for some people to die.
At least these people can sacrifice for peace.
"maybe."
Tobirama still didn't answer Hiruzen Sarutobi's question directly.
Because he hasn't thought clearly yet, can unification really bring peace to the ninja world?
He still remembered that when Konoha was not yet established, his eldest brother always told him: Fight violence with violence, and you will get only violence.
He always thought that his elder brother was right.
I kill you, and your relatives and friends come to kill me, and the person who killed me has to face the pursuit of my relatives and friends, and the cycle repeats like a matryoshka doll.
But here, he got a different answer from Lin Tian.
Fighting violence with violence may not necessarily result in violence, but may also lead to unity.
As long as the second and third generations are born, even if the hateful people in the first generation want to cause trouble, it will not be easy because the first generation is old.
The more he thought about it, the more Senju Tobirama felt that the unification was very reliable.
He couldn't wait to launch a war against Kumogakure immediately and bring Kumogakure village into the territory of the Fire Country.
Wait, Fire Nation?
By the way, he then remembered that the ruler of the Fire Country was the daimyo, not him, the Hokage.
So, before launching a unification war, we still need to depose the daimyo?
Or rather, kill?
Tobirama wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath to calm down.
Assassination of a daimyo?
it's out of the question.
Without a daimyo, who will allocate funds to Konoha Village and who will rule the common people?
By ninja?
Ninjas don't do that, they only kill.
Otherwise, the eldest brother would not have handed over the power to govern the country to others.
The more he thought about Tobirama, the more negative he became.
Coincidentally, Lin Tian on the screen also talked about the limitations of ninjas.
He only used one word to arouse Tobirama's passion again.
That word is: study!
This chapter was really difficult to write, and I deleted more than two thousand words.
I probably won’t write similar plots again in the future.
It was uncomfortable for me to write, and I guess it was also uncomfortable for the audience to watch.
Why bother?
right!
