Having set a goal, Goenji naturally had to work hard to achieve it.
Aside from daily patrols, he spends most of his time studying the basics of Sealing Technique, striving to learn more powerful Sealing Technique in the future.
He used his battlefield achievements to exchange for a lot of knowledge about Sealing Technique in Konoha. These things were not available in the Konoha Library, so they needed to be exchanged for battle merits.
Battle merits are gradually being depleted.
At the same time, within the Uchiha Clan, he studied the Uchiha Clan's Sealing Technique.
As a family with a long history, they have a very strong foundation.
He has at least a lot of knowledge that the Uchiha possesses, which he doesn't need to exchange for in Konoha.
Time flies by without you even realizing it.
The research at Goenji is increasing daily. Both their Sealing Technique and their understanding of Fire Release are rapidly improving, and their strength is growing stronger.
Especially in terms of physical growth, during this period of rapid growth, he became incredibly strong very quickly. Itachi Uchiha is the most qualified to speak on this matter.
Now, whenever Goenji is in the family, he brings his books to study. Goenji is so eager to learn that he feels embarrassed to stop him.
Mainly because he didn't intend to stop it.
The more eager Itachi Uchiha is to learn, the better, so that he can develop his own will.
During the teaching process, Goenji incorporated his own will—not that of the Uchiha, nor that of Konoha, but a will 'extended' from the Will of Fire.
That is, as long as you are strong enough and your personal power is strong enough, no tragedy will happen. If a tragedy does happen, it means you are not strong enough, so you should work hard to become stronger.
Instead of thinking about other people's luxuries, or observing the changes in the world.
Instead, observe your own changes.
Goenji didn't have any of those convoluted wills; he only had one will: personal power, which was stronger than any other will or means.
"But teacher, can individual power truly change the world?" Itachi Uchiha asked, holding the book and looking at a sentence on it.
Goenji nodded. "Of course, but your strength must be strong enough and comprehensive enough that the enemy cannot find your weakness and then break through your defenses."
"Then why didn't the First Hokage unify the world, but only established Konoha? If the First Hokage had unified the world, would we no longer have wars?"
Itachi Uchiha was only three years old, but he already had his own thoughts, so he asked a question.
He doesn't know much about it.
Wasn't the First Hokage incredibly powerful? Why didn't he unify the world? If he had, there would have been no war, only peace.
So many Uchiha wouldn't have died.
When the war began, Itachi Uchiha already knew that many of his uncles and elders had died on the battlefield.
You can often see grandparents crying, as well as some children.
He was afraid...
She was afraid that her father had also died on the battlefield.
I also fear this oppressive atmosphere.
It will drag the Uchiha down.
He hopes for world peace and for his father to have time to spend with him.
Other uncles and elders can also accompany his child.
So he really wanted to know why things were the way they were.
Could it be that the First Hokage wasn't strong enough? If so, how could he become stronger than the First Hokage?
"Do you think the First Hokage didn't unify the world because he wasn't strong enough?" Goenji asked with a smile.
Itachi Uchiha nodded.
The book mentions the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, who were both very powerful ninjas.
"Hehehe, the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha quelled the chaos in the Land of Fire and even attracted a large number of ninjas who longed for peace, leading to the establishment of Konoha."
It is indeed extremely powerful.
Itachi Uchiha nodded his little head. "That's how it is. Why not unify them?"
"Because the other Five Great Nations are not weak either!"
After Konoha was established, the other four countries successively produced ninjas who pacified the chaotic world and established their own ninja villages, just like the First Hokage and his comrades.
The First Hokage and his comrades were very strong, but facing the four great nations and so many powerful ninjas, they were naturally overwhelmed.
Goenji always believed that the Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju did not unify the world was because the First Kage of the other Five Great Nations were also very powerful ninjas.
If he remembered correctly, the official guidebook said that the First Kazekage Reto, Retsuto, single-handedly quelled the infighting among the major clans in the Land of Wind, established the Land of Wind, and developed Sunagakure.
He was the most important figure in the founding of the nation, the one who overcame numerous ninjas, quelled the chaos, and established the country.
He didn't know about the other actors, but he remembered this one.
From this perspective, the strength of the First Hokage must have been very strong; they were geniuses among Hashirama Senju did not unite must be partly due to this.
"Another possibility is related to the social environment."
Itachi Uchiha listened, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"The social environment refers to the conditions at that time."
For example, communication issues. Unifying the entire Shinobi World cannot be achieved by force alone; it also requires convenient information transmission and unobstructed roads, among other things.
After all, in that era, relying solely on ninja methods was insufficient for issuing government decrees, and it still isn't enough now.
However, the Shinobi World has progressed greatly now, possessing many advanced technologies. If it were in this era, unification would be possible."
Goenji continued to smile.
After all, history is unverifiable, and who knows how strong those First Kage were, whether they could truly rival Madara Uchiha, or at least have the strength to fight them?
Who knows!
Anyway Goenji never bothered to verify the strength of the other First Kage.
Or perhaps the other party has some trump card up their sleeve.
"A decree has been issued?" Itachi Uchiha seemed to understand but not quite.
And technology.
He thought of the appliances in his home.
"So you're saying the map is too big, and then when orders are issued, they can't be relayed? Wouldn't it be better not to unify it at all?" Itachi asked.
Hearing this, Goenji said with satisfaction, "That's right, that's another aspect. Back then, society had just emerged from the Warring States period, and most of the conflicts were between families. The social environment wasn't as good as it is now."
If you have time, you can look at history. Although wars still occur frequently, society is actually progressing, and people's living environment is constantly improving. The happiness index is incomparable to that of the Warring States period.
"I see. So the social environment can also affect the issue of unification. Master Goenji is truly amazing!"
Itachi Uchiha exclaimed, "Master Goenji is indeed exceptionally wise."
They've not only come up with ideas about how to be ninjas, but also about how to unify their roles.
Power!
Now that the social environment is in place, all that is needed is the power of an individual to achieve unification, and unification will certainly be achieved.
