The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

On this day, in the daimyo's mansions and ninja villages of various countries, countless people were having intense conversations.

Even though Xia Li has demonstrated his unparalleled strength, there are still some people who believe that with the strength of their entire country, they can stop the opponent.

At this time, in the mansion of the Fire Country's Daimyo, the Fire Country's Daimyo was constantly waving the fan in his hand, looking at the people arguing below.

A considerable number of them are staunch surrenderists, another group is hesitant, and the last group is firmly resisting surrender.

Their idea was that since the resources of the ninja village needed to rely on the overall supply of the Fire Country, they could cut off subsidies to Konoha now. As long as they had no resources, it would be difficult for them to start a war.

Of course, the opposition believes that the strength of this generation of Hokage has exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people, and his strength can no longer be limited by the conditions required for conventional warfare.

The Daimyo of the Fire Nation, who was sitting at the very top, sighed at this moment. He looked at the sky outside, and the meteorite from before was still vivid in his mind.

Moreover, as the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he also has a very thorough understanding of the profession of ninja.

This profession was definitely created for the purpose of war. Even before, with the strength of those ninjas, no country could deal with them.

They can cut off the enemy's supply, but the problem is that they cannot guarantee that they will not find new resources before these ninjas use up their own resources, or with their strength they can completely adopt the strategy of capturing the leader first.

Therefore, in the past, there was actually only a tacit understanding between the daimyo and the ninja villages in their country, and this tacit understanding actually came from the work of the first Hokage of Konoha.

And now, this tacit understanding has been torn apart by the new Hokage.

"It's really... a turbulent time." The Daimyo of the Fire Nation also sighed, and probably made a decision in his heart that might go against his ancestral teachings.

There are definitely many things similar to what happened in the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion, the only difference is the number of people in each faction.

Xia Li, who caused such a big problem, did not meet anyone during this day, nor did he think about what to do next.

I spent a relaxing day leisurely at home.

The next day, Xia Li also walked to the Hokage's meeting room.

At this moment, all of Konoha's consultants and Jonin-level ninjas have gathered here, waiting for Xia Li's arrival.

"Good morning, everyone." Xia Li greeted everyone casually after sitting down in his seat.

"Good morning, Hokage." Although everyone present was a little speechless when they heard Xia Li's relaxation, but since the Hokage had greeted them, how dare they not respond?

Soon, Xia Li also yawned and said, "Well, this meeting officially begins. As for the topic of this meeting, it is to discuss how to launch a war to unify the world. As for whether to launch this war, there is no need to discuss it."

After Xia Li finished speaking, Jiraiya became a little anxious. He looked at Xia Li and said, "Xia...Hokage-sama, do you really want to do this? This world has finally escaped from Uchiha Madara's conspiracy."

"Teacher, this is something I had decided on before the Fourth Ninja World War. Also, you can ask everyone here, how many are against this plan?" Xia Li looked at Jiraiya and was not surprised. Didn't he know Jiraiya?

An absolute idealist, although he will not be merciful if the situation really comes to a head, he will definitely try his best to prevent bad things from happening.

Jiraiya was suddenly choked, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep across everyone present. He saw the former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sighing helplessly there, and he also understood that the other party seemed to have no way out, and his heart slowly deflated.

There was no need to think about the others. When the clan leaders led the ninjas to Xia Li's location at that time, he understood the choices made by these clan leaders...

As for the remaining jonin, even if there are some who are unwilling to do so, what is the significance of comparing the numbers?

Therefore, from the beginning, Jiraiya could only choose to try to gain a glimmer of hope from Xia Li, but in the end... Xia Li didn't even discuss this issue and jumped directly to the stage of war planning...

At this moment, Jiraiya's eyes were also a little dim.

Xia Li was able to sit here because he was confident that there were definitely less than 10% of people in this conference room who supported Jiraiya's ideas. Only Tsunade and the Third Hokage might support them.

Even Utane Koharu and Mitokado En will not support Jiraiya. Although these two are old, they are very stubborn.

But one thing is certain, they have absolute feelings for Konoha, they absolutely hope that Konoha will become better, and Xia Li's approach has the potential to make Konoha even stronger and bigger.

And if Konoha didn't have the strength, they would oppose it, but the problem is that the strength shown by Xia Li definitely has a very high possibility. Under such conditions, the two of them would definitely support it.

Xia Li didn't have much opinion on these two people, because although they were stubborn on some issues, due to the limitations of the vision of the times, their decisions would sometimes be wrong.

But it does not mean that they are useless to the entire system. The saying that an old person in the family is like a treasure still applies, and their experience is very important to the younger generation of Konoha.

As for those stubborn old ideas, we should just take their essence and discard their dross.

In Xia Li's opinion, these two were just portrayed as stubborn people for the sake of the anime, and the audience only saw their stubbornness, but their role in Konoha was not portrayed.

Xia Li looked at Jiraiya with a sad look in his eyes, sighed, and said, "Teacher, don't you believe that when I unify the world, I will make it a better place?"

"But..." Jiraiya wanted to refute something, but he couldn't say anything.

Xia Li continued, "Teacher should have also looked inside Konoha yesterday, right?"

Jiraiya was silent for a moment before nodding.

"So did teacher see how the villagers reacted when I announced the unification?" Xia Li asked again.

Jiraiya was speechless. He could feel the bustle within Konoha and the pride that everyone felt for their village from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, there are voices of opposition, but they are wrapped up in this trend and cannot make any sound at all.

"I see."

Finally, Jiraiya nodded and said no more.

"Teacher, there is one more thing I want to remind you..." Xia Li suddenly said.

"What?" Jiraiya was a little confused.

"The sooner this war ends, the fewer people will die." Xia Li became serious.

Jiraiya immediately gave a wry smile and nodded.

After persuading Jiraiya, Xia Li officially started the meeting. Xia Li was not surprised that he was able to persuade Jiraiya.

Because, at this time, Jiraiya's personal will could no longer hinder the progress of Konoha as a whole, and Xia Li didn't even need to say this to Jiraiya.

As long as the time comes, Jiraiya will still take action.

As for the possibility of Jiraiya leading Naruto in rebellion... this is impossible, the most he can do is not help the evil.

But Xia Li still persuaded Jiraiya in such an occasion, just because the other party was his teacher and he was willing to give Jiraiya face.

Soon, the meeting was in full swing, and the topics discussed were naturally food, resources, strategic direction, etc.

As Xia Li listened to the discussion below, he could truly feel the difference between the war in this world and the ordinary world, because an individual's great power could really affect the outcome of a war.

It just so happens that most of the beings who can determine the outcome of a war are concentrated in their Konoha...

So, what is there to worry about?

Anyway, the meeting was quite lively, but no one was worried, because they had an invincible Hokage, and Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, the two strongest people under the Hokage...

Even if these three were picked out individually and asked to fight against an army alone, they would be able to easily defeat it...

In this lively discussion, a simple and direct course of action was soon worked out.

At this time, Xia Li couldn't help but sigh again. This world was indeed too small. It was much smaller than the map of his previous life.

Therefore, even if the unification was completed, in the previous life, it would probably only be the same area as ruling a larger country, and even less in terms of population...

This will undoubtedly reduce the burden of subsequent governance.

But even so, it is unrealistic to rely on the people of Konoha to manage a world.

So, Xia Li smiled. There were still three days left, and he hoped that some of the people who could be used would take the initiative.

After the meeting, Xia Li spoke again, "Next, everyone, sound the alarm for Konoha and gather all the ninjas."

"Hokage-sama, what is going to happen..." asked Nara Shikaku, he had a guess in his mind.

"That's right. Next, I will tell you how to absorb natural energy." After Xia Li finished speaking, he could clearly feel that the breathing of everyone present became heavier.

This includes two elderly men, Mitokado En and Utane Koharu, and even the Third Hokage.

No one can refuse the path to immortality!

After Xia Li finished speaking, these ninjas quickly took action. They were all eager to know how to practice the way of nature!

Xia Li found it a little funny. These people were a little too anxious, but it was understandable.

Soon, Xia Li arrived on top of the Hokage Building, and stood there looking at the ninjas that had gathered below. Even ordinary people came over. They had no hope of becoming ninjas, but at this time they hoped that they could practice the way of nature that Xia Li mentioned.

Xia Li had no intention of refusing this. At this moment, he could feel the burning gazes of everyone below him. Although they were all very anxious, no one made a noise.

They were all looking forward to the way of nature that Xia Li would announce.

Xia Li had no intention of keeping the secret, and said, "Before I teach you the Way of Nature, I need to tell you something about the Way of Nature."

"First, since I am the only one practicing the Way of Nature, I have almost no ability to use ninjutsu."

After Xia Li finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened immediately. If it was true, then they would have to consider whether or not to switch to practicing the Way of Nature, as this would reduce their combat effectiveness to an unprecedented level.

But soon someone thought, since there were no ninjutsu, then how did Xia Li use those ninjutsu in the Fourth War?

So, there must be another way.

And Xia Li continued.

"Secondly, there is a way to convert natural energy into chakra, so you can still use ninjutsu. And according to my test, the chakra converted from natural energy is much higher in quality than the chakra extracted by ordinary people themselves, so the power of the ninjutsu you use will also be greatly improved."

At this moment, some people who were originally panicked immediately calmed down. It seemed that not only would their combat effectiveness not be reduced, but it would even be strengthened.

As for the ordinary people Xia Li mentioned, they also knew that the extraordinary ones were probably the Otsutsuki clan members Xia Li mentioned before...

"Third, absorbing natural energy is risky. If you can't control natural energy, a series of problems will occur, including but not limited to petrification, crushing, and other life-threatening situations."

Then, Xia Li once again raised a few questions about natural energy, and then explained how to perceive natural energy and how to absorb natural energy.

Then, Xia Li asked everyone present to start practicing immediately, because he was here, and if anyone encountered any accident, he could interrupt it immediately.

Soon, people began to sense the natural energy and began to absorb it.

This made Xia Li sigh again. It was true that those who planted trees would enjoy the shade. In the past, it was not so easy for him to sense natural energy. Even Uzumaki Naruto did not have it so easy.

Now that the natural energy has recovered to its original level, not only has it become extremely easy to perceive, but it is also not as violent as before. This is why Xia Li dares to teach directly on a large scale.

However, even so, there were still some people who encountered unexpected problems in their practice.

Xia Li also appeared beside them in time and interrupted their practice.

Just like that, Xia Li looked at the practitioners below. About 30 to 40 percent of them had mastered the method of absorption, and then they could practice on their own.

However, it is foreseeable that it will take some time for them to raise their natural energy to the level of chakra.

Xia Li was amazed at this ratio, because this ratio also includes ordinary people who came here, and most ninjas have this talent.

Only at this time did Xia Li truly believe that the Way of Nature could definitely spread in this world.

Although the previous Sage Mode also relied on natural energy, that kind of practice was simply impossible to spread, and few people could learn it.

What can be passed down must be this kind of practice that requires abilities but is not high.

Although the way of nature is a little more difficult than the way of chakra, it is not much more difficult, and it just meets this requirement!
