Nara Shikaku's voice was not loud, but these two words were like thunder, resounding in everyone's heart.

Echoes for a long time.

"Tell me."

Jiraiya's face was livid, and he motioned for Nara Shikaku to continue.

"Yes."

Nara Shikaku bowed respectfully and said:

"Today, the balance of the ninja world we see is inherently fragile and short-lived.

"The Hidden Leaf Village has only been established for more than sixty years, but this world has already experienced three total wars, and has been repeatedly ravaged by war and ninjas.

"In order to find the answer, I carefully searched and studied the war history of the entire ninja world, and finally came to this conclusion——

"I personally believe that the internal law behind the constant fighting between villages lies in the balance of the game between the two forces."

Nara Shikaku spoke calmly and clearly, and began his long-planned speech.

"Which two?"

Jiraiya looked at the other party with interest, expecting Shikaku to continue talking.

"Economy and people's livelihood, and military strength."

The deer remained calm for a long time and said loudly:

“Without military protection, a peaceful life is like a mirror in the mirror.

"Without the development of people's livelihood, military strength cannot be sustained forever. In the end, it will only bring more deaths.

“To a certain extent, the two are mutually dependent on each other.

“However, in a specific country, due to limited resources, the relationship between the two has gradually evolved into a game of trade-offs.

"When plundering can no longer continue, the original virtuous cycle of 'people's livelihood supports the military, and the military protects people's livelihood' will inevitably be broken.

“When the military expands, it will neglect production. If it indulges in peace, it will become weak.

"In the end, this dilemma will turn into an either-or political choice."

“Further reflected in the performance of the political system, it is the pendulum change of the two major cycles.

"That is, the military expansion period of the arms race, and the recuperative peace period of military contraction."

After a pause, Nara Shikaku's eyes flashed and he said loudly:

"How to reach a consensus with other countries and control every major country in the ninja world within the military contraction cycle and no longer take the initiative to jump out.

"This is the only way to peace!"

Ah, why have I never felt that the jar behind me has some weight?

On the side, Aburame Zhiwei felt drowsy after hearing this, and her mind was already wandering.

"continue."

Jiraiya showed no expression and motioned for Shikaku to continue.

He vaguely felt that he had been pursuing the secret of peace for many years.

It was hidden in the next words of the man with the pineapple head in front of him.

After receiving the encouragement from the Hokage, Nara Shikaku's confidence increased greatly, and he was about to express the results of his thinking for many years:

“I think back then, during the first Five Kage Conference, our ancestor Senju Hashirama proposed to divide the tailed beasts evenly among several major countries.

“The purpose is to completely reduce the necessity of arms competition through the special power of tailed beasts.

"At that time, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, with his superhuman will and intimidation, forced all countries to enter a state of military contraction and rest.

“And, furthermore, trying to achieve eternal peace.”

Hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with excitement.

History is never taught in Ninja school.

The leaders of the ninja world never really cared about this matter.

In this world, only a few scattered scholars, relying on their inner interest and enthusiasm, can record and understand these things.

They collected the original meeting materials with great difficulty, smelling the smell of history in the auspicious light and in the snow and mud.

Carefully piece together and restore the truth of the past.

Even so, it is difficult to distinguish which ones are real and which ones are fake.

Regarding the history of the first Five Kage Conference, although Jiraiya was a student of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he had also heard about it.

But the reasons, perspective, and summary of logical rules given by Nara Shikaku were interpretations that Jiraiya had never heard before.

It is really unimaginable how much work the man in front of him has done in private for this matter.

For Jiraiya, "eternal peace" is his lifelong pursuit.

At this time, I clearly heard that the first Hokage had tried something similar, and I felt excited and proud.

When I think about my ideal, my ancestors were already trying it sixty years ago.

Jiraiya's heart suddenly felt joyful that "I am not alone in my path."

But on the other side, a kind of sadness that "manpower cannot do anything" also surged up at the same time.

What the "God of Ninja" has never done, he, and Uchiha Sasuke, who has high hopes for him.

That kid, is he really okay?

Two completely opposite emotions filled Jiraiya's chest, making him eager to hear what Shikaku continued to say.

"However, the tide of history has a will of its own."

Nara Shikaku's voice deepened and he continued:

"With the fall of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama, the fragile balance he forcibly established was also broken.

"The power of the tailed beasts cannot stop the desire of various ninja villages to turn to military expansion. On the contrary, it only makes the war more tragic.

"At that time, the second generation Hokage and the second generation Raikage still adhered to the concept of peace, but in Kumogakure Ninja Village, the strength of the fighting faction in the village, represented by Jin Jiao Yin Jiao, had begun to rise.

"At the same time, the second-generation Kazekage and the second-generation Tsuchikage, who were still slightly weak at the time, have directly entered the cycle of military expansion.

“Among them, the second-generation Kazekage Samana, relying on his super powerful personal ability, developed the skills of puppetry and sand manipulation alone.

“It directly confirmed the country’s status as a desert overlord in one fell swoop.

"Relying on the insight into history and excellent judgment of the situation, the Sunagakure Ninja Village under the leadership of Salmon finally became the biggest winner in the military expansion cycle.

"It also provides a solid military foundation for the Kingdom of Wind to secure its position among the five major powers."

Who am I, where am I, why am I standing here.

Aburame Zhiwei was in a daze, feeling dizzy for a while.

On the other side, Jiraiya also felt a little sleepy and couldn't help but ask:

"So, what does this have to do with the current situation?"

After noticing everyone's sleepiness, Nara Shikaku sighed, then sped up the pace of his speech and said quickly:

“However, the geographical environment of being located in a desert, arid and with little rain, is simply not enough to sustain the Kingdom of Wind’s hegemony.

“Since the Second Kazekage abdicated, Sunagakure Ninja Village has inevitably embarked on a cycle of decline.
