Konoha 41, April 8, Land of Fire Konoha, Anbu headquarters.
"This is Forehead Protector, which represents Konoha Ninja, this is Ninja Handbook, and this is Ninja Code... Be sure not to lose the first two items, especially Forehead Protector." After Guan Ze completed the registration, he handed the third item to Guang.
"Ninja Code" is just a symbolic book, and no one is missing this book.
However, Forehead Protector and Ninja Handbook are important. Needless to say, the former records information such as the completion of ninja missions. When performing tasks, it will also be used as proof of identity verification.
Guang was very unfamiliar with these things. At this time, he held three things and raised them up to his eyes in a frivolous manner to look at them.
"Ahem, because your situation is special, Lord Hokage has not arranged to lead the team Jonin or Chunin. Usually you Uchiha Clan..." Guan Ze just wanted to say that Uchiha Clan has to make arrangements for himself.
Result...
Guan Ze was shuddered by Guang's cold eyes.
"Okay, okay, I will teach her!" Akaseki said immediately from the side.
"Hey..." Guan Ze looked at Guang with emotion - if a child has such a big opinion when he hears "Uchiha Clan", he must have suffered a lot outside... Kensho Uchiha, look at the good things you have done!
Light:...
Guang felt very unfamiliar and uncomfortable with this kind of sympathetic gaze.
After leaving the Anbu headquarters, five people from Akaseki came to the Pine Deer Pavilion...
"Isn't this Mr. Akaseki? Are you going to clear the place today?" The waiter from the Pine Deer Pavilion, after seeing Akaseki, immediately nodded and bowed over to greet him.
Akaseki couldn't help but stare when he heard this. "When will I clear the scene? We Uchiha Clan have never been happy with the people?"
"Yes, yes, I'm talking too much...Heaven-Class Private Room Today is Nara Clan's appointment, would you like..." The waiter continued to do the job well.
"Hey! You're such a verbose person. Someone has made an appointment and what are you telling me to do? Why don't you take us to an unoccupied private room!" Akaseki interrupted.
Light:...
Guang was beside him, and his mouth was almost raised to the sky.
Ranwu looked at Akaseki strangely and then looked at the light - usually Akaseki would stop these behaviors only after he and Minato stopped him. Why are you so self-conscious today?
Could it be...
Is it to perform well?
Who is it for?
Ranwu felt a little thump in his heart.
Just when Ranwu was worrying about gains and losses, Akaseki sat beside Ranwu and even dragged the chair closer...
Ranwu:???
"Why are you sitting so close?" Ranwu wondered.
"Of course... for our friendship!" Akaseki said righteously.
Akaseki still remembers that I was very emotional about the "Yamato interpretation of the era of the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan"...
Although Shinobi Clan who originally teamed up to seal her also included Senju Clan, Akaseki has discovered through getting along with each other in the past few days that there does not seem to be much resentment towards Other Ninja Clans.
The main object of resentment is Uchiha Clan, and secondly... the entire Shinobi World!
The resentment towards Shinobi World as a whole is not because Other Ninja Clans teamed up to seal her, but because she feels that this world is terrible.
Akaseki can feel that she is structurally dissatisfied with the entire operation of Shinobi World, and then shows a tendency to destroy, but her strength... even if she cannot "destroy", at least it can make people feel deep pain.
Think about it this way...
What Akaseki wants to do is very clear - let her discover that this Shinobi World, especially after entering the Ninja Village era, everything is getting better!
Since just thinking that "Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan can both solve Yamato" is a sign that the world can still be saved, then Akaseki must of course focus on this part.
"Huh?" Ranwu looked at Akaseki in front of him inexplicably, and he didn't know which part of him was wrong.
What he said was incomprehensible, but his eyes looked very serious, almost... affectionate!
"God, God's gold..." Ranwu glanced at him with a red face, turned his head, and saw... Guang Zheng looking at himself and Akaseki thoughtfully.
Ranwu:???
What is your relationship?
Ranwu feels that the atmosphere is more and more weird.
"Not polite!" Akaseki suddenly shouted.
Ranwu was startled and turned around, only to see Akaseki scolding Shinnosuke...
"Minato is the youngest, let Minato order first!" Akaseki waved his hand and took the menu from Shinnosuke's hand.
Shinnosuke:???
Well, Hikaru said that it was because the Clan Leader family decided to treat her as Uchiha Clan's Nameless weapon and not have human emotions... So her life as "Nameless" began!
If Fugaku were here, Akaseki would bully him.
Unfortunately, Clan Leader's son is not here, so we can only use the village chief's son to deal with it.
Only in this way can Guang feel that such a thing will never happen to Shinobi World now.
Light:...
Minato took the menu and couldn't figure out for a moment what kind of seizure Akaseki was having today - as expected of the Uchiha Clan, who obviously already felt very familiar with it, but still managed to get new seizures from time to time!
"Come, Ranwu, eat food..."
"As expected of Minato, the food I ordered is delicious."
"Shinnosuke, pour me some tea!"
Ranwu and Minato both noticed that Akaseki was acting weird today, and even had some acting elements, but...
What exactly was being performed and why there was such a performance left them confused.
"By the way, Hikaru, what's your ninja number?" Minato saw that Hikaru had not participated in the communication, and even Akaseki didn't take the initiative to talk to Hikari, so he took the initiative to start a conversation with Hikaru.
"Ninja number?" Guang frowned upon hearing this, even feeling a little angry.
Maybe...
"Number" reminded her of "no name"?
Akaseki then quickly explained, "It's the number on your Ninja Handbook, we all have it!"
"Oh." Guang nodded, then took it out and took a look. "9509."
"More than nine thousand?" Akaseki was surprised when he heard "nine thousand", and then he became familiar with the following numbers. "Exactly 3,000 older than me!"
The number of Akaseki is 6509.
"There have been nearly three thousand more ninjas in the past five years? Five or six hundred a year?" Akaseki was stunned when he heard this.
Usually this number is just over one hundred per year...
And it must be that in the first two years, even if you wanted to, you couldn't soar. Most of them were due to graduation early and Shinobi Clan's own training.
But Akaseki regretted it after sighing...
Sure enough, after Ranwu heard what Akaseki said, he said helplessly, "Yes, the war is getting more intense, and more and more children are going to the battlefield before they grow up."
Guang's face turned dark when he heard this - OK, OK, what's the Ninja Village era? Ninjas really still have this kind of virtue! Evil ninjas, look at me...
"What is this?" Akaseki suddenly raised his voice.
Several people couldn't help but look over.
"I mean...Lord Hokage This is also an expedient measure, and it doesn't require the children to go directly to the battlefield. Most of them are in the rear, inside Land of Fire, right?" Akaseki said, and added, "This is also for the sake of the Land of Fire people. This measure is to balance the war with the safety of the domestic people..."
Indeed, on the battlefield, it is actually not obvious - because those younger ninjas basically do not go to the battlefield, but complete daily tasks in the rear.
Although Konoha stopped most of the task delegation channels after the war, there are always some that cannot be turned down, and... even if they can be turned down, they cannot not accept tasks at all for five years!
Although Fire Capital has also declared war, so there is direct war funding for Konoha, but...
If so many private villages and towns could not entrust Ninja Village with even one task in five years, they would have been killed by wild Ninja Beast and copycat bandits long ago!
Therefore, Konoha has actually been replenishing manpower and occasionally clearing out some urgent civilian tasks.
But when Akaseki mentioned this, Ranwu immediately became unhappy.
"Well, this was also after...Iwagakure broke the alliance!" Ranwu emphasized.
Iwagakure's betrayal not only made Konoha's situation more tense, but also... Nawaki died.
Nawaki, who was only twelve years old, died on the battlefield.
This put a lot of pressure on Hokage Building, and later he became more restrained in appointing and assigning younger ninjas.
"So... sure enough, the faster this number increases, the more uneasy Shinobi World is." Guang looked at his ninja number thoughtfully.
Ranwu heard this and gave her a strange look - this statement seemed correct, but I always felt something was strange.
"Of course not!" Akaseki immediately denied.
"Why not?" Guang asked directly.
"Why don't you think about it the other way around? It's because when the world gets worse, more ninjas are needed to protect you, so this number increases!" Akaseki said, squinting his neck.
Ranwu, light, Shinnosuke:...
Ranwu feels that Akaseki's statement is a bit strange, and He Guang is completely two extremes!
Shinnosuke thinks...
That Shimura Danzō, when he usually comes to see his father, he is indeed slandering!
What happened to Akaseki?
Don't forget to defend dad's decision at this time...
"Would the world be fine without ninjas? Don't be too naive. I think Shinobi World is like this, not because there are too many ninjas, but because... Ninshu is gone!" Akaseki said righteously.
Akaseki said this, but he didn't think the other way around...
After all, how many worlds has Akaseki experienced?
Although there are generally just the same types, and each has its own problems, it is this perspective that makes Akaseki understand that even if there are no ninjas, the war will not delay the death of people, and there may be even more deaths.
Even in a world without any special abilities, buying and selling melons can still kill people. Attributing the inherent contradictions of human beings to ninjas is a waste of time!
However, it is difficult for Akaseki to explain things like "Immersion" to them, so we can only use a more convincing explanation.
"Although I have rarely been on the front line in these years, it is precisely because of this that I am more able to see the struggles of ordinary ninjas and ordinary people in Shinobi World. After all, you ninjas on the front line only need to kill the enemy, while I have many things to consider in the rear..."
