Naruto's Dark Dawn

Chiba can probably understand some of Hanzo's feelings.

The former Hanzo was still a young man who wanted to change the country of rain and brought peace to this country when he was fighting with Mifune.

At that time, he was estimated to be no different from people like Yahiko and even later Naruto who yearned for peace.

It's just that the cruelty of reality completely destroyed his belief.

Qianye can probably imagine the despair of countless partners dying tragically after a great battle, and not only gaining nothing in the end, but causing the country of rain to fall into the abyss.

As he said, if there are no special circumstances, it would be impossible for Yuren to rise from the gap between the three major powers.

Whether it is population, ninjutsu, national strength, scientific research, etc., all aspects are too far behind.

Especially... its location is too bad.

The Country of Rain is in the middle of the three major countries, which itself is a difficult development model for hell.

Golden corners and silver borders have a grass belly. This is a well-known truth in Go, and it is also the biggest problem that a country will face in reality.

Even Konoha, who is born in large numbers of geniuses and has countless strong men, is often embarrassed by the siege of the four countries because of geographical problems, let alone Urenin, who has nothing.

If it were him who was in Hanzo's position, he would probably be desperate.

However, although he could understand Hanzo's change, he didn't approve of it.

His changes were a little too extreme.

"Hanzo, if, as you said, strength determines everything, then who is stronger and who is weaker between us and you?"

"This..."

Hanzo was suddenly speechless.

"If the war is really just a comparison of strength to determine the outcome, then why do you need to fight? Before you had more than twice as many people as me, did we lose?"

"Perhaps, the gap in strength is indeed difficult to make up, but it doesn't mean that faith is worthless. Even without this water attack, our previous 2000 people can fight with your 4000 people. Isn't it because of the power of faith? So, Hanzo, what did you rely on in the last ninja battle against all the major ninja villages?"

Looking at the silent Hanzo, Chiba continued to whisper: "Although I can probably understand your feelings, I still want to say that compromise cannot bring about peace, Hanzo."

"This is a world where the weak prey on the strong, but it is also a world where the weak are afraid of the strong. Your tolerance will not make others restrain, it will only make others think you are easy to bully, and then force you to compromise again and again, until finally you find that there is no way to retreat. When you resist, you are powerless to resist, just like those small countries that have been completely given everything they want."

"And the more fiercely you resist, the more others will be afraid of you. In fact, in my opinion, Hanzo's last big battle has already achieved a certain degree of success from a certain point of view."

"Definitely successful..."

Hanzo couldn't help raising his head and looked at Chiba in astonishment.

"Yes, perhaps in your view, Hanzo, what you did was considered a complete failure. You did not achieve any results. The civilians in the country were bleeding like rivers, and the Ninja Village also suffered heavy casualties. In the end, you gained nothing and instead suffered a heavy burden. entered into the new unequal treaty, but in my opinion

In fact, it is not worthless at all. "

Hanzo's eyes were full of doubts, he couldn't think of what the so-called value was.

"There are countless casualties from various countries here. They clearly realized the power of Yuren, so when they launched a war again, they had already avoided the Land of Rain, right?"

"Obviously last time, Urenin was strong and well-prepared, but countries still dared to fight with us, but this time in the ninja world war, don't they know that our Urenin's strength has not recovered, but they did not come to us again. The whole ninja world is fighting everywhere, but our place is still peaceful. Not surprisingly, they are already afraid of this place. Perhaps, they do have the strength to defeat us, but they may not be willing to pay the price."

"Although, this situation may not guarantee that we will always be at peace, nor can it free us from the oppression of big powers. Maybe as our strength recovers, countries will find ways to weaken us again. But, you have at least brought relative peace. , as long as we continue on this path, instead of trying to compromise like you, we might be able to usher in real peace."

"In fact, this has always been the idea of ​​our Akatsuki organization. Perhaps in your view, Hanzo, we are no different from those who seek death blindly, but our idea is indeed to deter countries from maintaining their strength by strengthening our own strength. Peace, and gradually develop strength to abolish those unreasonable treaties."

Saying that, Chiba made the final conclusion: "So, Hanzo, the sacrifices of those ancestors of the Land of Rain in the past are not worthless, and the dream you once abandoned is not worthless, at least, you It has brought relative peace to the Land of Rain and laid the foundation for true peace in the future."

Hanzo stared blankly at Chiba, and suddenly lowered his head slightly after a while.

"It turns out to be... like this..."

For some reason, Hanzo shed tears again.

"It turns out that their deaths are not without value..."

Scenes of the past kept flashing before Hanzo's eyes.

"Hanzo, please bring it to this country, bring it..."

"Hanzo-sama, I believe you..."

"Hanzo-sama, have we...failed...I'm so unwilling..."

The figures of his ex-partners passed before his eyes one by one, and finally settled on Jing Ming's old face.

"Hanzo, I don't agree with your current ideas. What you are doing now is really ruining the fate of this country... I believe those children can surpass you and bring real peace to this country... .”

"Maybe... I was wrong..." Hanzo said in a low voice, "I have been destroying what they finally bought with their lives..."

“I used to think that what I couldn’t do was impossible for others to do, so I tried my best to use whatever methods I thought were feasible to reduce the harm to this country. But now it seems that I was really stupid. It’s true that I overestimated myself.”

Speaking of which, Hanzo raised his head and looked at Chiba and the others: "You have proved by practice that whether it is strength, idea, wisdom, or even belief, you have truly surpassed me. Jingming is right, you can indeed surpass me. Those who bring peace to this country, and I, would like to believe in you."

Saying that, Hanzo summoned a small salamander with spiritism and took out several scrolls from its mouth.
