Helping each other with countless me

“Dong Dong Dong”

“Come in.”

The heavy metal door was slowly pushed open, and Li Zhongren walked in.

“Konoha’s special jonin, Kotobuki Mitsuha, greets Minister Morino Hiroshi!”

“You’re welcome!”

The head of the torture department, Morino Hiroshi, a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man, stood up and walked in front of Li Zhongren.

"You are a hero of Konoha. Welcome to the interrogation department. I heard that you were injured. Are you okay now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Minister. I am fine now."

"That's good. From now on, treat this place as your home. If you don't understand anything, ask me or other people from our Morino clan. But there is one thing. The work of the interrogation department is quite busy. You may have to bear more responsibilities at that time."

"It is my honor to share the worries of the minister!"

"Haha, heroes emerge from youth. By the way, the Hokage has ordered that when you arrive, you should immediately interrogate Minato Namikaze. I have arranged someone outside to lead the way for you."

"Thank you, Minister."

"Damn brat!"

After Li Zhongren left, a door on the inside of the office slowly opened, and a young man walked out. He looked to be in his twenties. The room was full of surveillance cameras, one of which was facing Li Zhongren.

The one who cursed was Morino Dai, also the deputy director of the interrogation department, affiliated with the third interrogation department, and the son of Minister Morino Hiroshi.

As for why he was so angry, it is not difficult to understand, because Li Zhongren trampled on the interests of the Morino family.

Decades ago, this was the condition for the Morino family to join Konoha, because their Morino family is best at torture, thanks to the summoning scroll that their ancestors accidentally signed, which gave their family members the ability to summon various torture props.

Of course, there is another point, the position of the second deputy director of the torture department of Kotori Sanye (Li Zhongren) belongs to his second uncle. When his second uncle was torturing Yakushi Nono, he accidentally tortured him to death, so he was dismissed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It just so happened that the Uchiha clan highly praised Kotori Yu Mitsuha for her strong talent in interrogation in the report submitted by the Tansho Street, so she was recommended.

"Damn Uchiha clan."

Then, Morino Dai cursed again, but his voice was much smaller. After all, the Uchiha clan was basically the boss of the Hokage in the whole Konoha, and he was the second. No family dared to take the initiative to provoke those red-eyed people.

"Father, is the third generation going to break the tacit understanding with our ninja family?"

"That kind of thing has never existed since the beginning."

Mori Nohiro turned around and stared at the surveillance screen.

(The following is a memory)

"Third generation, we recognize the mistakes of Morino, but you put outsiders in the interrogation department"

"Mori Nohiro, do you remember what the second generation said when he was perfecting the entire Konoha system?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and looked at Morino Nohiro quietly.

"Nidaime? What?"

"This."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll and slowly opened it. On it was the signature of Morino Hiroshi, the father of Morino Hiroshi.

"From now on, as the second Hokage of Konoha, I will appoint the Morino clan to take up relevant positions in the Konoha Interrogation Department."

(End of memory.)

"So, theoretically, the Interrogation Department does not belong to our Morino clan, but it just happens that people from our clan are in the Interrogation Department."

"Didn't your grandfather raise any objections when he signed the contract?"

"Hehe, do you think that even if your grandfather saw it, would he dare to say it?"

Morino Hiroshi looked at his son.

"That person is not as kind-hearted as the current Hokage."

"Then we just accept it?"

"The interrogation work is not as easy as we think."

Morinohan raised the corner of his mouth slightly

"If he can't stand it and leaves here, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

Dividing line

"Deputy Minister Mitsuha, the person detained in this interrogation room is Minato Namikaze. If you have any needs, please tell me."

"Turn off the monitor. The third generation has ordered that no information related to Minato Namikaze will be retained. At that time, I will report to the third generation in person."

"Yes!"

Another heavy iron door, after pushing it open, Li Zhongren saw Minato Namikaze, kneeling there reading a book.

"The whole person looks extremely haggard, not pretending, but really haggard, with a feeling of overthinking."

"Bang!"

After the metal door was closed, Li Zhongren stomped his feet lightly, and countless roots drilled out from the surface, along the ground, walls, all the way to the ceiling, wrapping the entire room tightly.

"Konoha, do you want you to be a rebel?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"It's easy to see that they deliberately exaggerated public opinion, and Nono's "death". If they really wanted to keep you, the third generation would not use such a stupid move."

"For the wisdom of the third generation and for my dream, this is the best choice."

Namikaze Minato put down the book and raised his head. Under the light, the friendly smile still made people warm.

"By the way, didn't the Morino clan make things difficult for you?"

"Times have changed. They are used to this kind of life and will not openly disobey the Hokage's orders. However, they should use some tricks later. As for you, how can you gain the trust of the Kumo Ninja? If you are asked to kill Konoha's ninjas as a token of your loyalty, what will you do? To be honest, it is not a wise choice to ask you to be an undercover agent."

"Don't worry. I have asked these questions. The Hokage has already arranged them."

"Hey"

Li Zhongren shook his head. The Sandaime was very fond of Minato Namikaze, but not so fond of him that he was unwilling to damage his reputation for him. He didn't know how big a storm this boy would cause in the future. Don't let the record of instantly killing dozens of ninjas become Konoha's ninjas. That would be interesting.

"Reputation. Being dragged down by this thing"

"Sanye, actually reputation is very useful."

"Huh?"

Li Zhongren knelt down opposite Minato Namikaze and looked at the book in his hand, which was "The Record of Ninja Strength".

"Have you been reading this book these days?"

"Well, I finally have time, so I took a closer look. I have to say that Jiraiya is really amazing. In just a few years, he has traveled almost the entire ninja world and even drew a map."

"Map?"

"Well, it's only available in the internal version. The published version doesn't have a map. This one was given to me by Jiraiya."

As he said that, Minato Namikaze turned the book to the last page, and a map comparable to a sketch appeared in front of him.

"No wonder it's not published, and the drawing is messy."

"Haha, but it makes the ninja world clear at a glance, doesn't it?"

"That's right."

Li Zhongren looked at the map. In fact, it was the first time he saw the world map of the ninja world. After all, this world is not like the previous life, with satellite scanning and so on. The maps are very abstract, and the territory of a country is also abstract. Rather than saying it is a territory, it is better to say that it is the radiation range of the Han and Tang dynasties, which is always changing.

What was fought in World War I and World War II, and the earlier Warring States period? It's about grabbing territory and resources. You said this is yours. Ask my sword first.

This is still the case now.

Jiraiya's map should have been drawn a few years ago. Rain Ninja is just that small Gada, but in fact, the territory of Rain Country in the real world has expanded several times because of Hanzo, otherwise why did the three major countries kill all the Rain Ninja Village? Isn't it because their radiation range was occupied by Rain Country?

"So, you are enlightened? Or is it related to reputation?"

"Haha, it can't be called enlightenment. It's just that Jiraiya's teacher wrote down his experiences in his book, and I found some rules from it."

"What?"

"About the rise and fall of wars in this world."

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath.

"I think that learning ninjutsu can't save this ninja world."

"???"

"I'm serious, Mitsuha."

Minato Namikaze pointed to the map.

"Teacher Jiraiya said that if you continue to walk west along the Sand Ninja, you will find an endless desert, a truly barren land where no creature can survive. In other words, the entire ninja world is actually only this big."

"With an increasing population, the area is only this big, and what will eventually come is war. Wars eliminate populations, and then redistribute benefits. For more than a thousand years, this cycle has been repeated. The difference is that after the first generation established the five major countries system, people in the five major countries will live a little better."

"But this will give birth to a more terrible problem. Can you guess what it is, Mitsuha?"

"The population of the five major countries will grow explosively. This year is the thirty-seventh year, and Konoha has already ushered in a baby boom. In about ten years, many of these babies will be transformed into combat power, and the number of ninjas will also be greatly expanded."

"Great!"

Minato Namikaze clapped his hands.

"I thought about it for ten minutes, but you only need a moment to think. I am not as good as you."

"."

"Haha, just kidding."

Minato Namikaze scratched his hair.

"In short, I predict that if the current situation continues to develop, no matter when this Ninja World War ends, the next Ninja World War will definitely come in about ten years, and that war will definitely be the most tragic war since the existence of ninjas."

"Then what?"

"Then, I thought that peace is hard-won. In fact, no one wants to fight. If I can find a way to help the entire Ninja World digest these extra people and extra ninjas, will the war not break out?"

"Look."

Namikaze Minato pointed to the map again.

"There are swamps between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, and it is impassable. There are mountains above the Land of Wind, and swamps below. There is only one exit to the east, the Land of Fire. The Land of Lightning is a country built on high mountains. The only plain is the one bordering the Land of Frost. Then there is the Land of Water, an isolated island."

"From a doctor's point of view, the entire ninja world is like a person whose veins are blocked. What if we open up these veins? Let the population and resources flow, maybe the population pressure will be released, and there will even be no more wars in the future."

"And the premise for doing all this is that you need enough fame and reputation to make people believe that you really want to do this."

"How about it."

Looking at Li Zhongren who was in a daze, Namikaze Minato suddenly put away his smile, his face full of seriousness.

"Do you think my theory can fool the Cloud Ninja?"
