Chapter 517: Human desire is a ravine that can never be filled
Konoha Conference Room.
Having experienced Minato's dominance in the last meeting and the smooth implementation of the air-land plan, everyone at this meeting was very honest.
"The first phase of the air-land plan is almost complete, so we will launch another plan to assimilate various countries!" Minato pointed to the documents in front of everyone.
"This is a biography compiled by professionals gathered by the Daimyo based on the local customs, living habits, and deeds of famous people in various parts of our Fire Nation. It also contains the core ideas of the Fire Nation compiled over the years.
Everyone, please see if there is anything you want to add. If not, I will submit it to the Daimyo."
No one responded to Shuimen. They all lowered their heads to look at the documents in their hands, including Shilang and other people who knew the inside story. For a moment, the conference room fell silent.
Everyone in the conference room looked at the scroll in their hands, feeling as if they were in another world. After living for decades, they knew for the first time the power of the Daimyo.
As expected, the power to decide the Hokage is not empty.
Of course, not everyone was shocked by this. For example, the third generation was very calm about it. He was very clear about the power that the daimyo possessed. What really made him unhappy was the content of the scroll.
As the core idea of the Fire Nation, there is no will of fire!
Can this be tolerated?
So the third generation immediately prepared to speak: "Minato."
"Third-sama, putting aside the question of how you address Hokage-sama, you are not planning to add your fire illusion into this, oh no, is it the will of fire?"
Unfortunately, before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Shi Lang. After all, Shi Lang had always been extremely wary of his elders.
Whether in the history of his previous life or in the original book, there are many examples of ****, and he will not allow any mistakes to occur in his plan.
The third generation narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What do you mean? Emiya Shiro, the will of fire is the most important thought of the Konoha ninjas. I think you should understand it."
"But what we want now is the Land of Fire, not Konoha's!" Shiro retorted fearlessly, "I hope that the relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire can be sorted out by the Third Daimo.
We want to spread the ideas of the Fire Nation, and we can't limit our vision to one village! We need to look a little further ahead, after all, times have changed."
After Shiro finished speaking, Sandai's face turned completely dark. He wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.
Just as Shiro thought, he had some thoughts of interfering in politics, but his thoughts were actually similar to Danzo's. He didn't have any thoughts about power.
Instead, he believed that his rich experience could help Minato handle affairs better. Unfortunately, although his starting point was good, as Shiro said, their vision was limited.
The reason why the Third Generation stopped at this time was because he had figured this out. So the Third Generation looked at Minato with a dark face and remained silent for a while, waiting for Minato's reply.
Minato was silent for a moment, then gave the Third Generation an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Third Generation, this is just as Shiro said, the next strategic plan is from the perspective of the country, not the village, so this cannot be accepted.
Your Will of Fire, Third-sama, has too many village-related elements in it, so it is not suitable for assimilation. Therefore."
"..." The third generation was silent for a moment, then sighed, and seemed to have aged a lot. "Then... let's do this."
"Sarutobi." Danzo looked at the silent Third Hokage. He could understand the Third Hokage's mood at the moment. He had the same feeling when he chose to help Minato.
The three-generation episode did not affect the progress of the meeting. On the contrary, it reminded most people that this plan could not be mixed with the ideas of a single family, but must be considered at the national level.
Therefore, the subsequent meeting went extremely smoothly, and the template submitted by Daimyo was gradually improved during the discussion among everyone.
Finally, the core of the entire plan - the idea of fire was officially established!
At the same time, the meeting also came to an end.
"Now that the core idea is complete, it's time for Mr. Hokage to answer a question for us."
Upon hearing this, Minato, who was about to disband the meeting, stopped and looked at Mitomon En, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, with a frown. After looking at Shiro, Minato straightened his body.
"Elder, please speak."
"Ever since you implemented this plan, I have always had a question in my mind. Everything you do is aimed at unifying the ninja world, and you hope to wipe it out with minimal losses.
I am very pleased about this. As a Hokage, you are absolutely qualified, Minato. But why do you emphasize the difference between the village and the country countless times? So I want to know your thoughts, Minato.
Then, before Shiro could block him like he did the Sandai, he turned to look at Shiro: "I want to know Minato's thoughts, not yours, Shiro, you don't have to lie to me, what you did was definitely not just for the village, there must be more personal factors for you.
But I don't want to delve into this, because I believe in Sakumo. With him watching you, you won't do anything reckless. So now I want to hear what Minato, the Hokage, thinks! "
Shiro's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Mitomon En in surprise. He brought Sakumo's soul back to the world, but even Minato didn't know about it.
Minato looked at the silent Shiro and the others who were also waiting for an answer and took a deep breath.
"I understand. I will explain this to everyone. This will also help the plan proceed." Minato organized his words a little and continued:
"I assume you've all been to the capital of the Fire Nation, right?"
Everyone frowned, and although they didn't know why Minato brought this up, they were all past the age of impatience and nodded silently.
"So what did you see?"
"No need to ask questions, just tell me what you saw, Minato."
"Okay, Elder Utane." Minato looked at Utane Koharu helplessly, then straightened his expression, "What I saw was a child, there was a real child there!
Rather than the ninjas that our village trained for war and missions, or rather, tools."
"We've improved a lot, Minato. You haven't experienced that era. The current environment is much better than before. The situation our ancestors faced was countless times more brutal than ours!"
"Yes, what the Third Master said is correct. Although I didn't live through that era, I have read the relevant classics. But is that enough? You think there have been changes, but I don't think there have been any changes.
Don't forget, there's a 'victim' sitting right here who went to war at the age of six. Even though it was just light logistics, it was a huge burden for a six-year-old child."
Everyone looked at Shiro, without refutation, and listened silently.
"He has indeed achieved extraordinary success. There are few rivals in the entire ninja world. But there is only one like him. How many people went to the battlefield like him in the past? And how many are left now?"
"But most of these factors are caused by the war. We have already extended the graduation age of the Ninja School again. As long as we can wipe out the Ninja World in one fell swoop, this situation will change dramatically!
This has nothing to do with the question I asked!"
"The war will never stop, Elder Mito." Minato shook his head, "As long as humans exist, the war will never stop. This is a repetitive process.
Even if we wipe out the Ninja World, it will only extend the gap, and because of the existence of Ninja, this gap will not be too long."
"So your idea is..." A flash of surprise flashed in Mitomon Yan's eyes. He already had some guesses about what Minato was going to do, but because it was too horrifying, he was not willing to believe it.
Minato stood up, placed his hands on the conference table, and looked at everyone with sharp eyes:
"Clear the ninja world, regulate all ninjas, make ninjas completely withdraw from the world stage, and return this world to the hands of ordinary people!
Let the mortal be mortal, and the extraordinary be extraordinary!"
“!!!!!”
