Naruto Big Draw

A ninja sandal stepped on the land at the eastern port of the Kingdom of Tea, leaving a wet footprint. Amidst the noise, Kana Tokiomi landed on land with several followers.

"We're finally here." Tokiomi sighed while observing the people coming and going around him.

"Should I inform Terumi Mei and Yoshikawa the Great?"

"No need." Tokiomi refused, "Let's take a walk and take a look. I heard that Shikoku Castle was once managed by Kannaten for a period of time. I'm very interested..."

"learn."

Tokiomi's subordinates stopped talking and silently followed him and began to walk in the port.

From the moment Tokiomi and his party arrived at the port, the intelligence system scattered inside and outside Shikoku City, covering the entire city like a spider web, began to operate. The news of Mizukage's arrival to assist Kanna Tokiomi was passed on layer by layer. Go up.

Soon, Tokiomi, who was wandering around, noticed that there were fewer and fewer people walking around him, and Kirigakure ninjas began to appear around him. He laughed dumbly and simply waited on the spot.

Ten minutes later, a man who shouldn't be here came to him.

"Long time no see, father."

"It's you," Tokiomi said in surprise, "Why don't you stay at the headquarters? Why are you here?"

"Of course I have my reasons." Kannaitian said with a smile, and then nodded to Tokiomi's entourage, "Everyone, please report first. I will accompany my father there later."

After all the outsiders had dispersed, Kana Genius led Tokiomi around the city.

"Here, I arranged for someone to assassinate a local gang leader."

"This used to be a black market on the coast. It was here that the pufferfish ghost killed Taki Kui, the boss of the underground killers."

"Going in this direction to the north, Mei Terumi once led the Kirikawa tribe to pursue the route of the great pirate Iwamura Abbot. It was a pity that we were unable to kill him in one fell swoop."

Finally, Kannaten and Tokiomi came to a cliff. He pointed in the direction of the Daimyo Palace of the Western Tea Country and said leisurely: "And over there, I also killed the previous Daimyo of the Tea Country, Lord Yi. ....."

Tokiomi crossed Kanaten, lit a cigarette, and quietly looked down at the sea at his feet. The roar of the waves echoed in his ears. The waves rolled, splashing thousands of water droplets, and emitted various colors of brilliance under the sunlight.

"So the reason why you were able to suppress Shikoku Castle was entirely due to strength, or ninjutsu?" Tokiomi said with his back to Kannaten.

Kannaten took a few steps forward, stood side by side with Tokiomi, and said: "No, I do not rely on strength, let alone ninjutsu. Those are just means to achieve my goals. What made Shikoku City succumb to my feet was fear, which came from Deep within the human heart is the resistance to the death instinct.”

"Life must fear death, so annihilating the enemy's life is the most intuitive and effective way to win the struggle." Hearing this, Tokiomi sighed: "But be sure to remember not to regard violence as the only solution, because in a certain situation Sometimes, violence fails to produce the slightest effect and instead makes the situation worse."

"Of course I understand this." Kannaitian also sighed: "Violence cannot solve all problems. I firmly believe that it cannot even solve most problems. However, for humans and life, living is the most important thing. Basic. Many people live their entire lives with nothing but life. So erasing their lives means erasing everything they stand for."

Tokiomi disagrees with Kannaten's views from the bottom of his heart. He believes that besides living, there are many more meaningful things in human life. Even if you live a mediocre life and live a mediocre life, there must be wonderful things, such as the shining points of human nature. Kannaten directly denied the meaning of the existence of some mediocre people and the value of their existence. In Tokiomi's view, this was a complete distortion of the outlook on life and values.

However, Tokiomi was unwilling to refute his son directly, but chose to correct him in a tactful way.

"Look at that." Tokiomi pointed to a shabby fishing boat in the distance, with an old man casting a net on it. "That fisherman has probably been fishing all his life, and his family income is very meager. , he was unable to support his children to go to school, and his living standard was only at the stage of survival. He lived very hard and worked very hard. He had little education, little knowledge, and he did almost nothing for society. For the Ninja Village, it is unlikely that such a family will give birth to the seeds of ninjas, let alone the samurai class that requires a considerable family background."

"His attitude towards his neighbors is likely to be very rude, and he may not be very gentle towards his family. Life, no, the pressure of survival is like a big mountain, pressing firmly on his spine, but he may be a member of the family. The only pillar of support, he used his own way of survival to teach his descendants to be tenacious, to be patient, to work hard, to grit their teeth and survive, to live ruthlessly and to use all their strength to survive."

"Suffering did not knock him down, poverty did not knock him down. Although he could not see hope, he still worked hard to survive. However, what kind of meaningful effort is to live purely for yourself and do it purely for survival? Do efforts that do not create any contribution to the collective, society, or the country have any value?"

"Xiaotian, don't be blinded by ninjutsu. The strength of ninjas is not based on fists, but on the heart and soul. Fighting is only our job, but it is not ours. Lifestyle. Death is our destination, but it is not our end. There will always be something more valuable than life in this world."

Shen Naitian was not touched in the slightest. To this day, his heart has become as hard as steel, which cannot be moved by just one or two words.

He said slowly: "I don't feel so proud of my strength, or think that I am superior to others. Because being strong is strong. Being weak is not a sin, so we can't blame a weak person, why are you so weak? , so much so that we have to suffer so much. Similarly, we can't blame a strong person. Why should we create suffering? This is unfair, isn't it? If we want to weigh the strong and the weak on a scale, then we should treat them equally. . No one would be so bored as to feel sorry for the rabbit that was eaten, and no one would applaud the lion for tearing its prey. But humans, this strange species, always give their cheap sympathy to the so-called The weak. Isn't it normal for the weak to be defeated? Why should we sympathize with them just because they are weak? Then why should we blame the strong just because they are strong? This kind of self-righteous and superior compassion simply makes me sick."

Tokiomi frowned deeply and said: "The meaning of human society's existence is to maintain a stable and peaceful environment, protect the weak from being killed randomly, and restrain the strong from restraining their minions. Do whatever you like. If human beings lose their rules and learn the way of survival of beasts, they will no longer be human beings, but beasts in human skin."

"But the rules set by human society have concentrated power in the hands of a few people." Shen Naitian said lightly, "It makes no sense, right? The rights come from the public, and the resources to use this right

But it only belongs to a few people. "

Tokiomi said solemnly: "Don't forget, you are also a member of this minority. You, me, the so-called minority including us, the rights in their hands are not to bully the weak, but to protect them." Given by the collective, you must respect the weak, respect the value of their existence, respect their lives, and realize that you represent not only yourself, but also many weak people who place their hopes on you because they believe You entrusted the rights that originally belonged to them to your hands. They believed in you, so they were willing to follow you. The reason why humans need a leader and a leader is not to concentrate power to exploit the weak. It’s about making this concentrated power play a greater role in protecting the weak.”

"Protect the weak?" Kannaitian shook his head, "Of course, that is one reason, but I believe that the concentration of power is more to promote the development and progress of society. For us ninjas, the reason why we choose a Shadow, and obeying him completely, is it just to create a protective umbrella? If we make rules just to protect the weak, then the meaning of the existence of the ninja village is equivalent to exchanging dignity for safety, and exchanging weakness for sympathy. .Why can’t human beings rely on their own strength to protect themselves? Why should they place all their hopes on people who are stronger than him?”

"If the mission of the Kage is to protect the ninjas, then what is the reason for the outbreak of the Ninja World War? Those who died in battle because of a piece of paper, who will be responsible for their deaths, and when will their innocent souls be able to rest in peace?"

"So, the reason for establishing a country, establishing a government, establishing a ninja village, and electing daimyo, ministers, and shadows is not simply to protect, but to hope that under their leadership, one can become stronger. If Our leaders focus all their energy on protecting the weak and ignore development and progress. Then the weak will always be weak and the strong will still be strong. A wall called rules will separate them. It’s called protection, but at its core, it’s a barrier that traps the weak.”

"This wall called rules is stained with the blood of the weak. The sky above this barrier called protection is filled with the cries of the weak."

After saying these words, Tokiomi's expression changed from the unhappy look at the beginning to extremely tangled, until he finally became expressionless and silent.

And Shen Naitian continued: "So, the meaning of human collective existence is not to protect the weak, because that will make the weak lose the driving force to move forward. When life is not under their control, in order to live, in order to survive, they must To become stronger, the poor will work hard to learn knowledge in order to be rich, and the losers will train themselves hard for revenge. What we can provide is not protection. What we need to provide them is only a way to progress and a door to growth. So our ancestors The purpose of establishing the Ninja School is not to keep children in captivity and protect them, but to allow more people to have the opportunity to learn, to instill in them a complete and good worldview, and to make them realize that this world is cruel, regardless of their No matter how noble their ideals are, no matter how high their achievements in the future are, the first thing they must do is to live. And if they want to live, they must master the power to protect themselves."

At the end, Kanaitian pointed at the fisherman and said: "Is his life meaningful? Is it valuable? Why not? Because the rules and laws established by this human society restrict him from becoming a so-called master. If you want to To break his own destiny, he needs knowledge, but he does not have the means and finances to learn; he needs courage, but his backbone is crushed by the pressure of life; he needs opportunities, but he does not have the power to seize them."

"In this world and this era, big businessmen control the trade routes and suppress the small businessmen who are just starting out. The nobles huddle together, hostile and exclude the country bumpkins in their eyes. Those with knowledge look down on Bai Ding, and those with power look down on him. Common people and those who control wealth look down on beggars. This kind of power that supports them and gives them the confidence to look down on the weak is also something that the world crazily pursues. It contains the driving force for progress, growth, and becoming stronger. In our bodies, it condenses Inspired by the spirit of our ancestors from ancient times who fought against ferocious beasts and cruel environments, a blood called evolution flows in our veins. Everyone is willing to become stronger, and no one wants to remain weak all his life. So, it’s time Changes have been made to make this world more exciting, to give this world more opportunities, and to give everyone a chance to control their own destiny."

"Let there be a school for our ninjas in every city and every town. Let every inch of land be filled with ninja flags. Let the next generation of children shout ninja slogans. Let businessmen spend their money for progress. Let us The nobles’ decrees were made in order to become stronger.”

"Let the voice of change echo in every corner of Tokaido"

“Let the flames of revolution burn the curtain of confinement in the new era.”

"The new era requires new voices. We ninjas will be the protagonists of the new era. We are driving the chariot of history. Anyone who dares to stand in the way will be crushed to pieces."

Tokiomi's scalp felt numb after hearing this. He was reluctant to admit it, but he had to admit that Kannaitian's words might be right.

This world is full of shackles, and this era is full of thorns. However, the pioneers and those with vested interests are not willing to open up a way forward. They just want to lie on the bed of power and wealth and enjoy what they have worked hard for half their lives. Delicious fruit. The Nidaime Hokage created the ninja school system, which greatly improved the ninja training system, allowing more people to become ninjas and become "strong men" who control their own destiny. However, it could only go so far. Opposition from people from all walks of life, This has greatly hindered the expansion of ninja schools. A ninja village only needs one ninja school. Isn't it? A ninja school can only recruit less than a hundred students in a school year. Among these less than a hundred people, One in ten people will be persuaded to quit school, one in ten people will drop out, and one in ten people will not be able to graduate. Of those who remain, some will stay at the genin level for the rest of their lives, and some will die in battle. , those who can stand out and survive to the end will always be only a very small number of geniuses.

Why not call on or even force people from all walks of life to support ninja education? Why does the influence extend to the ninja village of a country, and its training institution only occupies less than one millionth of the country? Because those in the old era were afraid of them. They were afraid of ninjas. They clearly realize that those who will destroy their rule in the future will not be the monks who represent faith, nor the warriors who represent the powerful, but only those lawless ninjas who represent miracles.

In this world, some people dream of world peace, and some people want to destroy the world. However, no one has ever thought of breaking the pattern of the world. No one has ever pointed out so deeply that what limits the progress of the world is actually It is the rules and systems that "protect" them. But now, Kannaitian has stood up. He is not doing it for himself, and certainly not for the world. His purpose has been clearly stated.

Make this world a wonderful place.

"The rule of the Sandaime Mizukage was backward," Kannaten said resolutely, "so I killed him. Now, father, I need your help, give me your power, so that I can complete the changes and lead Kirigakure, leading the Tokaido, opening the door to a new era."

With a snap, the cigarette fell from Tokiomi's fingers and fell to the ground, scattering sparks.

He looked back blankly, and found in a daze that the once familiar face and eyes of Kannaitian had now become unfamiliar...
