Soon, the chaotic and restless village stopped.

Facing this group of murderous bandits, no matter it was Hashirama Senju, Obito Uchiha, or Kakashi Shiro, they did not hold back at all!

They just killed them all!

"well……"

Senju Hashirama sighed, and did not dare to stay in the village to accept the villagers' thanks, but left immediately:"After establishing Konoha, I thought that I had really created a better era."

As a result, what he saw these days completely shattered his past cognition!

In this ninja world without His Majesty and the Empire, even the richest country, the Land of Fire, is in such chaos.

Casinos are everywhere.

Bandits are rampant.

Some people are forced to sell themselves into slavery, and some people die inexplicably.

"How could those bandits be so bold?"

Obito felt that he could not understand it at all:"Don't they worry that someone will come to wipe them out? For example, your daimyo, or the ninja village?""

It's understandable that you can't survive and become a bandit.

But you can just rob things, but you actually kill people so indiscriminately!

"There are often nobles and caravan leaders who issue commissions to eliminate bandits."

Many ninjas first learned to kill people from such missions. However, bandits can never be completely eliminated."

"Why is this?"

Uchiha Obito asked curiously

"……There are many reasons."

Shiro Kakashi looked unhappy:"There are always many poor people who can't survive. Those who are physically weak may choose to sell themselves into slavery. Some who are strong in martial arts may choose to become bandits."

"Oh, I understand this!"

Obito hammered his hand and said excitedly:"Because there is no change in the social soil that gives rise to bandits, the bandits can never be completely eliminated!"

Finally, there is a sentence that he can explain clearly!

"……There are other reasons."

Kakashi Shiro didn't quite understand what he said, but just remembered this sentence silently:"For us ninjas, we will not choose to wipe out all the bandits at once."

Hearing this,

Obito and Senju Hashirama's faces changed.

Even Obito could understand this truth!

Keeping the enemy is good for your own safety!

"I think I understand."

Hashirama Senju nodded absentmindedly and said,"The essence of a ninja is to use powerful force and rely on hired tasks to survive."

So, of course, a ninja would want to have continuous, endless hired tasks.

It is not difficult for a ninja to kill all the existing bandits at once.

But after a period of time, there may be no such task commissions!

The source of income will be cut off!

"That's why His Majesty said that the ninjas of the old ninja era had a wrong form of existence!"

Obito also felt that his understanding had deepened.

Just like His Majesty once said.

It turns out that facts can teach people more.

"……The existence form of ninjas?"

Shiro Kakashi frowned, and suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Senju Hashirama:"Shodaime-sama, I have always had a question to ask you!"

For this question.

I think there should be no one more qualified to answer than Konoha's first generation Hokage!

""Shodaime-sama!"

Shiro Kakashi took a deep breath and said formally:"I want to ask, how should we understand Konoha's Will of Fire? When a ninja is faced with the question of whether to carry out a mission or save his companions, how should he choose?"

After saying that.

Shiro Kakashi briefly described his changes in thinking after the White Fang incident until the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

A ninja who cannot complete a mission is a waste!

But those who abandon their companions for the sake of a mission are even worse than waste!

This is what he thinks now

"Will of Fire?"

Senju Hashirama scratched his head in annoyance:"This, in fact, there is no clear statement. At the beginning, I just hope that everyone can unite under the inspiration of the will of fire."

Speaking of which.

This is also related to Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara named Konoha after the"wood" of Wood Release.

And he named Hokage and Will of Fire after the Fire Release that the Uchiha clan is good at.

At the beginning, he just hoped that the Senju, Uchiha and other ninjas who joined Konoha would always be united, like a big family.

"well……"

Senju Hashirama suddenly felt a little discouraged:"From what I did later, I may not be worthy of talking about the will of fire." He has already turned his sword against his best friend for Konoha.

What will of fire can we talk about!

"I understand this!"

Uchiha Obito nodded and said:"According to your majesty, this is just slogans and dreams, but they are too empty and have no specific program!"

"……"

Kakashi Shiro had never expected to get such an answer.

The first Hokage of Konoha actually viewed the Will of Fire in this way.……

"So, what about the mission or the companions?"

Kakashi Shiro said,"How should I choose so that I can both comply with the principles of ninja and conform to the will of fire?"

"Well, this question can be answered."

Hashirama Senju thought for a while and said,"According to your majesty, the problem is not the will of fire, but the fact that the existence of ninjas is wrong!"

In the old ninja era, ninjas were just tools to complete tasks!

In this case, ninjas who cannot complete tasks are considered waste, which is widely recognized!

And since ninjas are just tools, it naturally conflicts with the will of fire that needs to value and unite companions.

What companions do tools need?

"Including what you said before, that ninjas will not kill all the bandits at once."

Senju Hashirama suddenly thought of what happened before and said,"This is also because ninjas rely on mission commissions as their source of income, so this problem arises."

And the reason why the Empire was able to wipe out the bandits is because the Empire's ninjas no longer need to rely on mission commissions to survive!

The Empire's ninjas can use the power of ninjas to obtain economic sources in a constructive way!

"……No!"

Shiro Kakashi felt that these words seemed to make some sense, but he still didn't give up:"Won't the ninjas of your empire encounter the dilemma of choosing whether to carry out the empire's mission or to protect their companions?"

"What should you do if you really encounter this kind of choice?"

"What should I do if I give up the mission?"

Even in that alien empire!

This kind of thing is hard to avoid completely, right?

"We should do what we have to do."

Uchiha Obito said as a matter of course, looking at Kakashi with some confusion:"These will be handled in accordance with the laws of the Empire, by the Imperial Court and the Imperial Military Tribunal... Why, isn't it the same here?"

"……"Huh?"

Shiro Kakashi was completely confused.

What the hell is a court?
