"... To sum up, the third stage of the Shinobi World order, that is, the stage from the differentiation of the original Ninja Sect to the emergence of the Shinobi World strain country, is an era in which powerful Ninja Sect ideas and Six Paths Ninjutsu Sect ideas coexist and are constantly colliding.
In the order of the ninja world before the emergence of ninja countries, the development ideas based on the Six Paths Ninja Sect have always occupied the mainstream ideology of the ninja world. No matter how other powerful ideas change, at this stage, the ideological foundation laid by the ninja sect is unbreakable.
Then came the clan. Due to the spread of the Ninja Sect, the clan emerged and became the main social unit of Shinobi World. Finally, it is at this stage that the most important thing affecting the Shinobi World order is personal (clan) power. Have you written it all down? "
Early summer, in the mountains and fields.
The small river flows and the shadows of the trees dance.
Looking at Shinji holding a history textbook and teaching three little ones, Minato could not connect Shinji with the cold-blooded and ruthless Angra Mainyu in the dream.
It is clearly organized and does not involve any personal subjectivity. It simply retells history and summarizes it.
Even Minato couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
Ninja Sect differentiated, and clan (nin) clan units with family as a unit that resembled a country once again appeared in the world. And somehow the world that turned into a primitive society during those hundred years began to develop again.
Before Ninja Sect appeared, the history of this world was a magnificent heroic epic. The blank hundred years in the middle made everything in the past disappear without a trace, and the world returned to a stage like a primitive society.
Whenever I think of this, not only the mature Minato, but also the three little ones will sigh and feel sorry for this, but more of them are confused.
What exactly happened at that stage? Even if human beings no longer have the power to fly and escape due to mysterious decline, what kind of power has caused the past thousands of years of history to completely disappear in the long river of history?
What happened before Ninja Sect appeared?
After receiving an affirmative reply from the three little ones who had taken notes, Shinji nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, today's history class is completely over. Starting tomorrow, it will be the Shinobi World order after the emergence of the Shinobi World country. It is divided into two stages. Preview it by yourself after class."
Hearing this, Minato was also a little excited. After all, he had read the children's books and found that his idol First Hokage was recorded in the history of this last stage!
Finally, I have the opportunity to hear Mr. Anri tell the children about his idol. How can you not be excited?
Thinking of this, Minato, who was standing aside, wearing an apron and a towel on his head, moved the spoon in his hand even faster.
But...
The next day, morning.
"... To summarize, after the emergence of the Shinobi World state and before the establishment of the current one-country-one-village system, the image of individual power in the Shinobi World order has been greatly reduced. There will never be a situation where an individual can control the entire Shinobi World order with his absolute power.
No matter how strong the force is, even when you are still in the village, or the Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara you have heard of along the way, you still have to fight in national and international relations.
The main manifestation of this stage is that various countries hire clans (nin) to fight. This also fundamentally reflects the development of Shinobi Calendar history, and the subjects involved in establishing the Shinobi World order are becoming more and more extensive. "
After hearing the end, Minato felt some complicated emotions in his heart, mainly because at this stage, he only had a few words to mention his idol.
Of course, I'm not discouraged, because at this rate I can talk about my idol tomorrow, and I might even be able to feel proud in front of the children!
You must know that you know very well about First Hokage Senju Hashirama's magnificent sound! I remember the days of all the important things I did!
The famous sayings he said are also recited by heart!
"I always feel like... the clan has turned into cats, no, it feels like stray cats."
Karin's words made Minato's face darken. He wanted to refute but felt that it was indeed quite vivid.
The original society with clan as the main body has become a society with the state as the main body.
The clan has become a mercenary-like existence, no longer participating in basic work, and simply becoming a military unit that will take over anyone's tasks as long as they pay.
No matter who gives food, they will join in. The word "stray cat" is really vivid and vivid! It is said that it is a stray cat at this time, but what about after the establishment of the one-country-one-village system?
House cat? No, not very graphic, family dog?
"Yeah, that's exactly what it feels like."
Kimimaro nodded.
Then, Shinji felt the thick resentment coming from Minato, which seemed like a resentful woman.
Looking at Minato who was shaking his spoon every now and then, surrounded by some kind of negativity, after thinking about it, Shinji, as the boss, made a decision that he wanted to comfort him!
After the meal, Shinji, who was eating watermelon, patted Minato's shoulder with his sticky hand covered in watermelon juice, and said comfortingly, "Xiaomen, don't be so disappointed. In what I will talk about tomorrow, ninjas will no longer be wild cats. They will evolve directly from wild cats into domestic dogs! Species will change! This is incredible cross-species evolution!"
Minato:...
"Mr. Anri, do you also think that ninjas are like domestic dogs now? I thought you were the kind of person who wouldn't put personal emotions into such things!"
"Aren't ninjas who replaced samurai and were bound to the country family dogs?"
Shinji's rhetorical question left Minato speechless. Mainly because if he thought about it carefully, ninjas nowadays are indeed like family dogs, but this family is a little bigger and is a country.
"Speaking of which, in tomorrow's class, how about you tell Karin about the destruction of the Uzumaki Clan? And how about telling her why Land of Fire Konoha didn't help her allies? After all, you were the one who told her that she was Uzumaki Clan, right?"
"Uh..."
Minato responded with silence. After all, as far as he knew, Konoha did not leave at that time. He only infiltrated a Anbu under the orders of the higher-ups to bring his wife back.
Just to let his wife be Jinchuriki.
Should I say it or not, this matter made Minato himself feel that Konoha was a bit unreasonable. What kind of good ally? Why imprint someone else's swirl logo on your back to commemorate friendship?
It would be nice to do something substantial!
Of course, on the other hand, Minato also felt that Konoha had his own reasons for turning a blind eye. After all, war cannot be decided by Konoha alone.
First, the war must be approved by the daimyo. After all, funds and other things must be supported by the daimyo. It is not Konoha that you can send troops just because you say you want to.
The second is the balance. After becoming a military strength recognized by the country, the village must put the country's interests first in everything.
Konoha's friendship with other villages?
Sorry, it comes second to the national interest.
If rescuing a Land of Whirlpools would affect the interests of one's own country, then the village would not be able to take action.
"Mr. Anri, I think... I can't speak well."
"No, you can explain it well. What you just thought of is part of the accurate answer. I'll just fill in the rest."
Minato:...
Do you dare me to have no secrets from you?
Another day, morning.
"... The establishment of the one-country-one-village system ended the Warring States Period of Shinobi World. In fact, it also established the transcendent status of Five Great Nations in Shinobi World. To a certain extent, it did bring a brief peace to Shinobi World.
As for the limitations of this kind of peace, they are the arms race that continues to this day among the big powers, and the fact that except for Five Great Nations, the small countries in the world have passively become victims of the peace between Five Great Nations..."
Shinji kept talking, and the three children sitting there listened and recorded the key points. When it came to Senju Hashirama splitting the tailed beasts in order to balance the strength between the villages, Karin raised his hand again.
"Koro-sensei, if it is to balance the strength of various countries and prevent wars from starting easily, why not distribute the tailed beasts to small countries that are weaker and more easily bullied? If distributed to those big countries that are already strong, wouldn't the situation of small countries become more difficult?"
"Isn't this answer obvious?" Kimimaro said calmly at this time, "Koro-sensei just said that Senju Hashirama uses Wood Release, which means he is a wooden head."
Minato on the side:...
Shinji smiled and replied, "Karin, remember what I say next, that is, in this world, the seats for happiness (enjoying peace) are limited, and true peace does not exist.
The sacrifice of a few people in exchange for the happiness of the many people is what is called "justice." Although you may need a long life experience to truly understand these words.
Going back to the textbook, the symbolic peace between Five Great Nations requires a buffer zone, because without a buffer zone, limited peace will quickly turn into conflict. And this buffer zone is those small countries between Five Great Nations.
Of course, it can be said that it is a sacrificial area for the peace of Five Great Nations. This kind of thing will not change, even if one day there is real peace between Five Great Nations, it will not change. "
"Teacher, Five Great Nations is the victim of an arbitrary decision without the consent of the small country. Is that really justice?" Kimimaro asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Most people (big countries) think so, but a few people (small countries) don't think so, but think that justice is evil and a kind of power."
Hearing this, Minato and although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't refute it.
Not only did he think of what happened to Angra Mainyu - he actively sacrificed the young man in exchange for peace without his knowledge. I also think about many things like this now.
Even Konoha, sacrificing a few for the benefit of the majority (the village) often happens.
"My mother and I's hometown Land of Whirlpools, and... the Grass Village that accepted me and my mother... are they all such victims?"
Karin's face flashed with a hint of unbearability.
"There is a slight difference. Land of Grass may be, but the reasons for Land of Whirlpools's demise include but are not limited to this. It is more complicated. You can ask your Master Gate to talk about it."
Minato, who was suddenly caught, looked at the three little ones and Shinji who were all looking over, and finally compromised.
After listening to Minato's answer, Shinji couldn't help but praise the cook and security guard in his heart, and couldn't help but think of what he heard in his previous life about the Tsinghua University doorman who passed Tsinghua University's exam.
It has a very similar meaning.
The first reason is the buffer zone and sacrifice zone that Shinji mentioned before, as well as the temptation of the Uzumaki Clan's special physique and sealing technique for all countries.
The second reason is that they failed to keep up with the times and did not realize that the era of a single clan was over long ago.
In the new era of one country and one village united by the ninja clan, Land of Whirlpools, who has not kept up with the times and has only a single ninja clan, is destined to disappear in the wave.
"So... what about Konoha? Can you help Land of Whirlpools?" Karin asked again, "Didn't you say that Konoha has formed an alliance with Uzu Hidden Village? As the most powerful Konoha, if you can help Land of Whirlpools..."
Minato is dumb and speaks ill of Konoha, which Minato absolutely cannot do.
At this time, Kimimaro, who already had a sense of surrealism, said calmly, "Koro-sensei said that countries are different from people. There are no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests.
The era has entered a new one-country-one-village stage, so Konoha's first priority is naturally his own country, friends, and so-called alliances, which are unrealistic.
In other words, they will never let Konoha and Land of Fire suffer unnecessary losses just because they want to save one Land of Whirlpools. This is the reality. All this can only be blamed on the Uzumaki Clan for not realizing this and not taking precautions.
Under this background of the times, he believed in a country with all his heart, and gave all the sealing techniques to Konoha almost unconditionally. This is a stupid move that does not have a clear understanding of the situation of Shinobi World! "
Looking at Kimimaro who said such words, Shinji gave a realist evaluation in his heart, and couldn't help but be surprised that in such a short period of time Kimimaro could gradually grow towards surrealist ideas under his own education.
As for Bai, he doesn't talk much and always has a gentle look on his face. Although he has not blossomed in thought for the time being, it can still be seen from his few words on weekdays that he actually hopes that everyone can be happy.
Hopefully it won't develop into complete idealism.
Shinji hopes so.
"But... but, I obviously trust them so much..."
Catching the deep regret in Karin's eyes, Minato finally gave up the idea of trying to comfort him. After all, although Kimimaro's words were harsh, there was nothing wrong with him.
Even if Konoha played a disgraceful role in this matter, but in terms of the interests between countries, it is not wrong. Land of Whirlpools has always been too naive.
Maybe it would be much better to join Konoha at the beginning.
At this time, the complex emotions in the eyes of Karin, who clenched his fists tightly, disappeared, raised his head and said seriously, "I don't think this kind of "justice" is completely correct! I will never agree with this approach of using the sacrifice of a few people as the cornerstone of peace! There must be some! There must be a way to make everyone happy without sacrificing anyone!"
Damn it! Is perfect idealism born?
Shinji was shocked, but then denied the idea. Karin said so, but he did not deny Kimimaro's answer, which meant that it was not completely idealistic.
"How could there be such a road?" Kimimaro frowned and retorted, "You have to know that the road you mentioned has not appeared in thousands of years of human history, so that kind of thing can only be regarded as a dream!"
"If it doesn't exist, then try to create it bit by bit! Shiro will work hard with me, right?"
"Huh? Me?" Bai was stunned.
"Of course, Shiro has always been on my side, hasn't he?"
"Well, UU Reading
"Bai smiled, and then looked at Shinji in front of him, "I... also hope that everyone can be happy."
It seems that Bai is more idealistic. Shinji made a mental evaluation, and then looked at Karin who was holding Bai's arm.
"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"
Perhaps people should be like Karin, who can neither be completely ideal nor completely realistic. The correct answer is to take root in reality and run towards ideals.
Then again, is Karin a new socialist explorer?
"They seem to have ideological differences."
Minato's emotion brought Shinji back from his thoughts.
"Just shut up, you are the most outrageous utopian who can't even understand reality."
"Uh..."
Minato laughed sarcastically and did not deny it.
After all, my previous self was indeed utopian. I have always believed that the causes of war are love and resentment. It was not until recently that I realized that the causes of disputes change with the passage of time.
Ninja Sect preached until Shinobi World appeared as a country. Because each clan (nin) was the main social group, at this time, it was barely possible to use love and hatred to explain disputes.
But things have changed since the emergence of the country. The cause of disputes has always been interests. The love and hatred between ninjas must be ranked second to interests.
After the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, disputes have become a complete benefit.
"In short, everyone's listening to the class was in good condition today, but some things are better to see with your own eyes. There is social practice tonight."
"Social practice? At night?"
After tapping Karin's little head with the textbook, who seemed a little dissatisfied, Shinji continued, "That's right, tonight, we are all ready, and then we will ask each person to write an article."
