Unlike Sasori, who currently had a one-track mind, Genno felt his heart sink halfway after hearing Anyo's words.
Although he had long known that the boy he had submitted to had considerable ambitions, he had never expected them to reach this extent. Changing the balance of power in the Shinobi World-if the Five Great Nations treated those words as a joke, that would be fine. But if they took them seriously, they would face an assault from almost the entire Shinobi World. Who could withstand that?
What could Genno do now? He was already aboard this pirate ship. He could only sigh and say, "Young master, I think the Shinobi World's current situation is quite all right. The Second War is over, and everyone is at peace. There's no need to start another war in the future."
Changing a world dominated by Ninja would be impossible without going through a major war. Genno knew that perfectly well. All he could do now was make one final attempt, hoping Anyo would change his mind.
Anyo understood what was going through Genno's mind, but disappointment was inevitable. Back then, Genno had dared to infiltrate the enemy's headquarters alone to conduct reconnaissance and sabotage. He certainly had no shortage of courage. All Anyo could say was that an overly comfortable life could change a person and wear away his fighting spirit.
Though disappointed inwardly, Anyo showed none of it. Instead, he explained patiently, "Genno, I know your concerns. Don't worry, I won't get hotheaded and go looking for trouble with the Five Great Nations. The time isn't right yet. As for the war you mentioned, I won't even need to start it. Peace in the Shinobi World won't last more than a few years. Believe me, the Third Shinobi World War will begin
