Naruto's strongest wooden escape

Chapter 162 Check and Balance

However, Orochimaru seemed to have no intention of continuing the pursuit.

"Our mission has been completed. Next, it's up to the old man." Orochimaru said with a playful expression without answering Jiraiya's question directly.

Konoha defeated Kumo Hidden Village in this battle. If there were no accidents, the war between Kumo Hidden and Konoha would basically come to an end.

Although the war was won, Konoha also suffered heavy losses.Nearly one-third of the six thousand Konoha ninjas gathered before the war were killed by Kumo ninja's swords.

However, compared with the casualty rate of more than half of the Kumo ninja army, Konoha's losses did not seem so heavy.

The war is over.

On the battlefield, blood dyed the land of the Country of Springs red.For several kilometers in a radius, the corpses of Kumo ninja and Konoha ninja were lying everywhere.

In the Shura Field, you will occasionally see scattered ninjas wearing Konoha or Kumogakure forehead protectors.These people are the ones responsible for cleaning up the corpses after the war.

Even people who are used to seeing great joy and great sadness will feel an indescribable sadness in their hearts after seeing the piles of corpses on the battlefield.

"War is so terrible." Uchiha Matsuri stood on a mountain peak, looking down at the densely packed corpses below, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Many people say this, but after so many years, won't war still come?" On the side, Namikaze Minato was not in a good mood either.

"Minato, what do you think can be done to prevent the war from happening?" Uchiha Matsuri stared at Namikaze Minato curiously, wanting to know Namikaze Minato's true thoughts.

"I think the occurrence of war is closely related to human greed. It stands to reason that only by eliminating human greed can the occurrence of war be essentially eliminated." Namikaze Minato said seriously.

"But don't you think the goal of eliminating greed is ridiculous?" Uchiha Matsuri asked.

If you are a human being, you will have seven emotions and six desires, and you will have desires.

Unless the world truly achieves "Great Harmony", human greed will never be eradicated.

However, how illusory is the "Great Harmony Society"?

Uchiha Matsuri has always felt that the so-called "Union Society" is just a beautiful fantasy of mankind.

"So, there is only one way left." Namikaze Minato paused, "That is to use certain means to deter greedy and ambitious people so that they dare not destroy the peace."

"I agree with this." Uchiha Matsuri nodded.

In fact, both the first Hokage's approach of "separating the tailed beasts" and Uchiha Matsuri's idea of ​​establishing a world government were all based on the idea of ​​"deterring careerists."

"But what's the specific method?" Uchiha Matsuri asked.

Once the original intention is established, how to implement it is another matter.

"Checks and balances." Namikaze Minato smiled, "Only checks and balances can achieve the effect of deterrence."

"So, do you agree with the First Hokage's approach?" When Minato Namikaze mentioned the idea of ​​"checks and balances," Uchiha Matsuri immediately thought of the First Hokage's approach of allocating tailed beasts.

"To be honest, I still have some doubts about the First Hokage's approach." Namikaze Minato frowned, "The First Hokage's idea was very good, but there were deviations in the implementation process."

"distribute

After the tailed beasts, each ninja village did form a 'check and balance' to a certain extent, but this check and balance did not exist for long before it was broken. "

"In the past 40 years, the five major ninja villages have all experienced glory and decline. Except for Konoha, the other four major ninja villages will consider external expansion when they are glorious, so the war happened."

"So, 'checks and balances' can't be achieved by just a 'distribution of tailed beasts'. The balance point of 'checks and balances' is very delicate. Slightly higher or slightly lower than the balance point will break this 'checks and balances'."

"Therefore, how to maintain this kind of 'checks and balances' is undoubtedly the biggest problem. Only by solving this problem can we fundamentally ensure that the 'checks and balances' measures can be implemented for a long time."

"Is it possible that you have thought of how to maintain this kind of 'checks and balances'?" After hearing what Namikaze Minato said, Uchiha Matsuri was very curious whether Namikaze Minato had found a way to maintain the so-called 'checks and balances' for a long time.

"No." Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly, "Until now, I have never thought of how to maintain this 'check and balance'. Maybe my research direction has gone awry, or maybe my method is fundamentally unworkable."

After saying that, Namikaze Minato showed a helpless expression on his face.

Indeed, Namikaze Minato's idea was a good piece of advice.However, the biggest flaw in this idea is that there is no way to implement it.

An idea that only stays in writing and theory will not have much effect on some practical problems.

After understanding Namikaze Shuito's thoughts, Uchiha Matsuri suddenly turned around and asked, "What do you think of the idea of ​​unifying all countries and establishing a world government that can govern the five major countries and various small countries?"

After hearing Uchiha Matsuri's thoughts, Namikaze Minato looked at Uchiha Matsuri in surprise, with surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

Unify the countries?

What is the difference between this kind of thinking and that of Uchiha Madara back then?

After thinking for a few seconds, Namikaze Minato suddenly said: "Your idea has a good intention, but it is not realistic."

"I would like to hear the details." Uchiha Matsuri said seriously.

"First, Konoha is not strong enough to unify the world, and rashly launching a war will only burn the country and attract counterattacks from other countries."

"Second, our wish is to end the war, but your idea will cause a bigger war. Otherwise, the whole world will fall into endless war."

"Third, even if a world government is established, will war really never happen again?"

These three points of Namikaze Minato really put Uchiha in doubt.

It is true that the idea of ​​the Uchiha Festival is very beautiful, but there will still be many difficulties in the process of implementing this idea.

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Matsuri came up with some solutions.

The first point can be achieved by continuously weakening the strength of other countries and enhancing one's own strength.The second point is that the Fourth War is an opportunity to solve this problem.

As for the third point, even the Uchiha Festival cannot guarantee it.

However, Uchiha Matsuri still believes that unity is more conducive to peace than division.

After reunification, there may still be wars, but compared with now, the number and intensity of wars will definitely be much less.

As for the question of whether it will split again after reunification, it is not an issue that the Uchiha Festival needs to consider.
