On the border between Land of Fire and Land of Lightning, a large number of Konoha Ninja troops are stationed here, and they are fighting fiercely with the Cloud Ninja troops on the opposite side.

On the high ground behind the battlefield, a dark gun barrel sticks out from the green grass, looking for a target on the battlefield.

At this time, the battlefield has reached its most intense moment, and the two parties are fighting together.

The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the battle between Third Raikage's son Ai and commander Shinku Yuhi, and the elite Jonin Mitarashi Shion.

Ai's body is covered with purple Lightning Release Chakra, which is fast and constantly collides with Mitarashi Shion.

Shinku Yuhi was casting illusions on the side to create opportunities for Mitarashi Shion.

Behind the dark barrel of the gun, Hyuga Shota stared closely at Aibu's figure covered in lightning, with a somewhat excited expression on his face.

"They all look down on me as a member of the family. This time I want to do something big."

Hyuga Shota touched the gun body of Sniper Rifle affectionately. After using it for a period of time, Shota fell in love with it. It was powerful, accurate in attack, and had a long distance. With it, Shota felt that he could be extraordinary today and successfully steal a head.

The muzzle of the gun slowly shifted, locking on Ai's rapidly moving figure. The next moment, due to Shinku Yuhi's illusion, Ai's body paused slightly, Hyuga Shota's Byakugan opened wide, seized the opportunity, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang"

The bullet flew towards Ai at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, and was detonated in advance by the lightning on his body.

Ai's body was pushed back a few steps by the shock wave, and he turned around and stared in the direction where the bullet flew.

"Got you!"

Ai turned into a bolt of lightning and ran towards the direction of Hyuga Shota, resisting Mitarashi Shion's blow.

"Guillotine Drop"

Ai's body jumped up high, and a large number of Lightning Release Chakra rushed towards his right leg, slashing it down hard.

"Boom"

Rocks flew and a huge pit appeared on the ground. Hyuga Shota was lying at the bottom like a human.

"That's it." Ai frowned and picked up Sniper Rifle, which Hyuga Shota was holding tightly, and looked at it carefully.

"Body Flicker Technique"

Lightning Release Chakra activated the cells in the body, and a large amount of lightning appeared on the surface of Ai's body. He dodged and escaped Mitarashi Shion's surprise attack.

Looking at Cloud Ninja who was at a disadvantage on the battlefield, Ai held Sniper Rifle in his left hand and shouted, "Withdraw!"

In a dark and humid cave, Uchiha Madara sat alone on a stone chair with his eyes closed. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path behind him was shining, injecting a lot of life force into Uchiha Madara's body.

Suddenly, the ground bulged high, and Black Zetsu appeared from it. He handed Sniper Rifle and Four-Piece Potion Set to Uchiha Madara with both hands.

"Is this what that kid Obito did?" Uchiha Madara had a look of interest on his face. He took Sniper Rifle and Four-Piece Potion Set and played with them.

As a ninja who has experienced countless battles, Uchiha Madara quickly found the trick to using Sniper Rifle and pulled the trigger on Black Zetsu.

"Boom"

The bullet exploded, and the flames after the explosion adhered to Black Zetsu's body and continued to burn.

"Lord Madara, don't make such a joke." Black Zetsu's body turned into a ball of liquid and quickly transformed into a human form, his tone was a little helpless.

"It's interesting. It's a murder weapon." Uchiha Madara nodded with interest, put Sniper Rifle down, picked up four bottles of potion and drank it one by one.

After closing his eyes for a while, Uchiha Madara opened his eyes thoughtfully, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that Hidden Leaf Village will have a great advantage this time."

Holding Grim Reaper Scythe, Uchiha Madara slowly stood up from the stone chair, turned around and looked in the direction of Kirigakure: "Then I will add an opponent to you, Obito, let me see your measure."

At this time, Obito was lying on Flying Carpet, smiling and looking at the loveless Uchiha Itachi behind him.

"You are so decadent at a young age, do you also need to drink a bottle of Mighty Man?"

Uchiha Itachi shuddered, shook his head violently, and started running again.

After running for a while, Uchiha Itachi's mentality stabilized again. He turned around and asked curiously, "Teacher, if ten pieces are sold for one million taels, will they buy them?"

"Of course I will buy it, these nobles are rich." Obito said in a lazy tone, taking out a bottle of juice from Kamui Dimension,

"Well, they are indeed rich." Uchiha Itachi nodded in agreement. Even though he was the son of the former Uchiha Clan Head, he was shocked by the arrogant and luxurious life of those nobles.

Obito poured a sip of juice into his mouth, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "What do you think you learned this time?"

"I" Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "Some people can't even eat and can only rely on garbage to eat. Some people are arrogant and wasteful. This is wrong. I want to change this and let those poor people live a better life."

"Very good." Obito nodded with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This wave has stabilized and Uchiha Itachi's views will not be distorted in the future.

"Then have you figured out what to do?"

Obito looked at Uchiha Itachi's still immature face, a little curious about how precocious he was.

"I don't know yet." Uchiha Itachi looked a little confused and asked, "Teacher, do you know?"

"Of course, otherwise what would I be busy with!" Obito rolled his eyes, thinking that he should give Uchiha Itachi a good ideological education lesson.

"Why do you think Ninja World is constantly in war?"

Uchiha Itachi thought about it seriously and replied, "Because we need to compete for resources. Just like we Land of Fire are rich in resources and very wealthy, the nearby countries want to rob us."

"This is just a superficial reason." Obito shook his head and continued, "The fundamental definition of ninja is that they are out-of-work troops, and due to the need to refine chakra, ninjas' appetites are several times that of ordinary people."

"During the peace period, ninja villages continued to develop and the number of ninjas continued to increase, but the newly increased productivity was not enough to supply the newly increased number of unemployed ninjas."

"Then, the Ninja Village has only two options left, either to lay off some ninjas, or to consume some ninjas."

"It is simply unrealistic to lay off people, and if they are not well placed, these ninjas who have mastered force will become a factor of instability."

"So, for the Ninja Village, the most cost-effective thing is to launch a war."

"This will not only consume some ninjas at no cost, but also prove to Feudal Lord the necessity of the existence of ninja villages, which will require a large amount of military expenses."

"The current war is the same. After more than ten years of peace, there are too many ninjas, and we can only use up some of them."

"The ninja villages fight and consume each other. After the number and productivity of ninjas reach a new balance, a truce is declared."

Uchiha Itachi's eyes were dull and silly, and he murmured in a low voice, "So that's how it is."

Obito was a little helpless, so he leaned into Uchiha Itachi's ear and shouted, "Come back to your senses!"

Uchiha Itachi was startled, came to his senses, took Obito's hand and said urgently, "Teacher, what should we do?"

Obito showed a mysterious smile on his face and said softly, "Why do ninjas have to quit their jobs?"
