Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

Roar!

The ten tails below him suddenly roared, and Nagato hurriedly turned around and looked back, only to see a figure appearing behind the ten tails at some unknown time.

"Using a diamond chain to block the interaction between the Ten-Tails and the outside world, and to prevent it from continuing to devour natural energy and continue to evolve, is a very good method." After figuring out the state of the Ten-Tails, Naruto couldn't help but nod. Although the Ten-Tails in this state is weak, A little bit, but it is enough to deal with the ninja coalition.

"How does it feel to be fulfilled?"

"I'm excited, but also a little...confused." Nagato looked up at the endless blue sky and sighed slightly.

For the enemy who was supposed to face life and death, at this moment he actually had no intention of fighting at all.

"How long do you think the current state can last?" Naruto walked slowly to his side. The plain that should have been extremely flat had become potholed because of the ten-tailed beast jade, and it was full of scars at a glance.

There are also many collapsed coalition ninjas shouting helplessly.

"Have you thought about realizing your ideals in another way? You should be clear that the two of us are not enemies." Naruto looked at him. Maybe they were enemies before, but that doesn't mean they will be enemies in the future.

Grudges and grudges are no longer that important when they reach this point.

"Annex the Five Great Nations?" Nagato also knew about his actions during this period, and strictly speaking, this guy was also his target.

"Yes, and no." Naruto just sat cross-legged next to Nagato, seemingly not worried that the other party would take advantage of this to take action.

The same is true for Nagato. In a sense, both of them have reached a high place, but the high place is extremely cold, and there are too few people who can communicate and confide in each other.

Shadows from the five major countries may be qualified, but the differences in concepts and cognitions doomed the two sides to not sit together and communicate.

Naruto longs for Nagato's approval, and Nagato longs for Naruto's approval.

"The annexation of the five major countries is only a means, not an end. Since the first generation Hokage and Uchiha Madara established Konoha together, the one-country-one-village model has blossomed throughout the ninja world. The daimyo are eager for a trustworthy military partner, and the ninjas also hope to use it. Supported by the power of a country, one step further." Naruto told Nagato his thoughts and ideas.

"Under the family form, the size of the ninja is limited, and no matter how the number of off-duty personnel grows, it will naturally be controlled within a reasonable range."

"National support is different. Ninja Village, which has no worries about survival, will do its best to expand the scale of ninjas. The daimyos are also happy to do so. After all, stronger troops can better maintain the country's rule."

"This creates a vicious cycle. A country's finances are not endless. Daimyo needs to coordinate the interests of all parties. After a certain number of ninjas are reached, the ninja village can only rely on tasks to continue to expand the scale of ninjas, but the ninja world It’s so big, how can it possibly satisfy the needs of the Ninja Village at the same time?”

"So the ninjas started a foreign war to compete for the number of missions." Nagato followed his train of thought, which was an angle he had never considered before.

Following this train of thought, he found that many things he had never figured out before had answers.

"The root cause of war is hatred. The hatred that has continued since the time of Six Paths Sage may have originated from the robbery of something, a piece of land, a mouthful of food, a well of water... Because of these things, people began to Fight each other." Nagato also expressed his past thoughts.

"During the Warring States period, it became a conflict between ninja families. After the establishment of the ninja village system, it became a conflict between countries."

"After every conflict, people feel the pain, the pain of parting from their loved ones, the pain of the death of a friend. Under the blessing of this pain, the ninja world will enter a short-term peace."

"So you think that a pain that is widespread enough to penetrate deeply enough to bring the ninja world to peace?" Naruto asked.

"That's right." Nagato nodded. This was indeed what he had thought, and it was also the concept he practiced now.

"The first Ninja War was Konoha 18, the second was Konoha 37, and the fourth was Konoha 47. Did you feel anything?" In this regard, Naruto just said a few groups The numbers did not use their own words to forcibly correct Nagato's cognitive errors.

"Time is shortening." Nagato also noticed something was wrong.

"Yes, the time interval between the outbreak of the Ninja World War is constantly shortening, which means that to create peace, pain alone is not enough." Naruto pointed to the battlefield not far away.

"Do you think they know what this war is about?" Naruto said the answer before Nagato could answer.

"I believe most people don't know. The reason why they appear here is only because of the orders issued by their respective shadows."

"No matter how heavy the pain of the predecessors is, it will not affect them to accept the orders of their respective shadows. If they disobey, it means that they betray their respective ninja villages. The basis of everything."

"Betraying Ninja Village means that they will lose everything, a good material life, a warm family..."

"They simply don't have a choice."

"The five shadows are the source of war. No, that's not right. Without the five shadows, there will still be rain shadows and grass shadows..." The more Nagato thought about it, the more complicated it became.

"What is the source?" He asked loudly, and the ten tails below him also roared because of his violent emotional fluctuations.

"Resources, there are not enough resources to allocate, no matter how much pain you create, war will still come." Naruto explained.

"A good material life requires resources, and Ninja Village needs resources to support ninjas, and daimyo supports Ninja Village for resources."

"As long as the resources are sufficient, the ninja villages will not easily start a war."

"...Then what are you going to do?" Nagato smiled miserably, looking a little frustrated.

Naruto was not surprised. No one knew that after years of hard work, he would end up in vain. Not going crazy was considered a strong will.

"Annex the five major countries, reform the ninja system, control non-productive ninjas within a reasonable range, vigorously develop productivity, eliminate exploitation, and achieve equality for everyone."

"Create a truly peaceful and prosperous world!"

"It's unrealistic." Even if Nagato loses his mind at this moment, he still understands how difficult it is to realize what he said.

"It depends on human effort. If you don't do it, how will you know if it will work? If we don't leave a seed for future generations, it will never be possible." Naruto did not refute.

"Why not just wipe out all the ninjas?" Nagato's eyes were full of killing intent, and he could really do it by cutting off all the ninjas who were not productive.

He didn't dare to think about eliminating exploitation and realizing equality for all, but he could do it by providing people with a sufficient resource distribution environment. He even felt that it was necessary to kill blood-sucking insects like daimyo and nobles.
