Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

Chapter 248 Five Nations Conference: Arms Race (5)

At this moment, Minato seemed to have figured out what Rasa wanted to say, but he couldn't think of it for a moment, so he didn't waste any time and asked directly.

"Please Fengying explain it to me!"

Everyone present looked over.

Luo Sha didn't waste any time and spoke directly.

"Before I say the following words, first of all, I want to ask you a question, that is, what do you think is the role of Genin on the battlefield?"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, none of them understood what Luo Sha was trying to do, and no one spoke easily.

Seeing this, Luo Sha spoke directly.

"Since no one wants to say it, I'll be more direct. In my opinion, the so-called Genin has no other use on the battlefield except to die."

Everyone was stunned.

"Let me put it this way. The age of ninjas is different from that of samurai. In the age of samurai, no matter how powerful a samurai was, he could not defeat a hundred people alone. But ninjas are different. In front of a jonin, an ordinary genin is just a number. In this case, why should we send genin to die?"

Ohnoki said with a frown.

"That's true, but war cannot be decided by a few jonin competing. Besides, every jonin is extremely valuable."

"Yes."

The Mizukage also spoke up.

"Jonin and even Chunin are above the captain level in the ninja army. It is not appropriate to ask them to do trivial things."

The Third Raikage spoke directly and impatiently.

"Stop being so secretive, Fengying. Tell me what you think."

"Ah."

Luo Sha nodded and looked at everyone and said.

"In fact, my idea is very simple. How to balance the military strength among the five major countries? In fact, the best way is for the five major countries to jointly make an agreement to limit the ninja forces that the five major ninja villages of the five major countries can have. This is the simplest and most direct way."

"Limit the ninja force?!"

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Fengying to come up with such a bold idea.

"Kazekage, are you kidding me? How is this possible?"

The Third Raikage roared.

"Raikage please calm down and listen to what the Kazekage has to say first."

Minato said soothingly, and the Raikage had to calm down when he saw this.

Luo Sha then continued.

"In fact, you don't have to think of my suggestion as something terrible. First of all, limiting the strength of ninja troops will not affect the strength of our five major ninja villages. There is one thing I think you can't deny. In fact, the only level that can truly represent the strength of a ninja village is the Jonin level. Even in the most prosperous period of your ninja village, the number of Jonins probably does not exceed one thousand. What do you think?"

The four people present were all lost in thought.

In fact, the number of one thousand was a bit exaggerated by Rasa. To be honest, only Konoha in its heyday could barely reach half of this number. You have to know that to become a jonin, you have to be one in a million.

Take the current Sand Village for example. Although it has undergone various recuperation periods, the number of jonin is still just over a hundred.

"As for the number of Chunin, it is about the same. It is already exaggerated to reach 5,000. So, everyone, limiting the strength of the ninja troops will not affect the true strength of your ninja village. It is just to protect those Genin and the children who have just become Genin from innocently dying on the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Ohnoki's eyes flashed and he was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"So how many people does Fengying think are appropriate?"

"In fact, from this war, everyone should have a good idea of ​​the strength and military power of other ninja villages. Even for the Hidden Cloud Village, which has been developing its military power in recent years, the number of ninjas is around this number. Am I right, Raikage?"

The Raikage snorted coldly and did not answer, but everyone knew that the number was about the same.

In fact, the number of ninjas from the three major ninja villages, including Konoha and Iwagakure, is this number.

"Of course, this is the number before the war. I'm afraid we've lost a lot now, so my idea is to use this number as the upper limit of the ninja forces of our five major ninja villages. This way, it will not restrict the development of the ninjas in your villages, and it can also limit the emergence of an arms race as much as possible."

The four shadows present thought for a while.

To be honest, this number is not small. Even for small villages like the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village, it is a bit too much.

"Then how do you arrange the ratio of jonin, chunin, and genin?"

Minato asked.

"We can't stop the ninjas from making progress without making arrangements, right?"

After Luo Sha finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said.

"In fact, you all can understand that the biggest purpose of my agreement is to protect those Genin, and at the same time, to encourage everyone to train the young people of the village."

Everyone nodded, but the Third Raikage suddenly spoke.

"Then how can we be sure that everyone is abiding by their agreement? The village's ninja information is kept secret from every ninja!"

“Well, this is indeed the most critical issue.”

Luo Sha nodded and looked at everyone.

"First of all, I think the spies you sent to other villages are not vegetarians."

Everyone present had a frozen expression on their faces.

"Secondly, I have another suggestion. Should we ninjas unite?"

"Unite?"

This sudden proposal once again stunned everyone present.

"Yes, there are only people from our five major ninja villages here now, so I can be more direct. Everyone, what do you think is the reason for the wars between our five major ninja villages? After all the fighting, what have our five major ninja villages gained, whether they are the winners or the losers? Who are we fighting these wars for? For ourselves, or for the five major countries behind us?"

"..."

At this moment, the brows of several shadows present were tightly frowned.

We are not fools, and since Luo Sha, the Kazekage, has said it so directly, how could anyone not understand?

"As the Raikage said before, if we don't solve this problem, even if we reach an agreement to stop the arms race and limit the strength of ninjas, peace will still only be short-lived, because even if we don't want to go to war, the daimyo behind us will force us to go to war."

Having said that, Luo Sha looked at everyone with a serious gaze.

"Now, the most crucial question is, in your mind, is the life of the ninja in your village more important, or is the mission more important? Why are ninjas born?"

"..."

The conference room fell silent again.

Everyone didn't know how to respond to Luo Sha's somewhat disrespectful words.

Especially since the five daimyos were now resting less than five kilometers apart.

At this moment, Minato, as the Hokage, thought of something and asked with determination.

"Then I wonder if Fengying, do you have any specific ideas?"

"Of course I have ideas. In fact, don't you think that what we are doing now is actually a good solution? Led by our five major ninja villages, we can unite with the small countries in the ninja world to establish a ninja joint military council. While supervising each other, we can also resolve conflicts through communication and try to avoid war..."
