After sensing Uchiha Takashi's Chakra, the Great Toad Sage remained silent for a long time.
"Where did you learn all this?" the Great Toad Sage suddenly broke the silence.
Uchiha Takashi frowned. "Then don't worry about it. I know all this stuff anyway. You don't know as much as I do, so don't try to stop me!"
Great Toad Sage: "You want to end the war?"
Uchiha Takashi: "That's right, I will end this era. I will make this era end with me, and I will ensure that my next generation will never again be shrouded in the shadow of war."
"But that's impossible. Human greed, rigid systems, and the inherent ferocity of humanity are all potential triggers for war. War is unavoidable; as time goes by, war will inevitably come."
The Great Toad Sage said, "Furthermore, your idea is too naive and too extreme."
"I never said I wanted to end wars; I said I wanted to end this era. I know war is unavoidable."
When resources are unevenly distributed, and when the pie cannot satisfy everyone, conflicts of interest will drive humanity to wage war.
What I need to do is not to prevent war from happening, but to reduce the intensity and frequency of war.
Compared to the current state of the Shinobi World, where war is rampant and conflict is constant, there is a greater desire to reduce the frequency and intensity of warfare to a lower level.
It simply prevents war from afflicting everyone and reduces the casualties it causes. Furthermore, as technology and philosophy continue to advance...
Moreover, whether war can be avoided at all remains to be seen!
From the perspective of the present era, war is simply unavoidable. However, when technology is highly advanced, and everyone's moral character is highly developed, and when everyone can understand each other, war may be avoidable.
I know that everything I've done can't end the war, but that's just a limitation of our time. We should leave the future to future generations; who knows what the future holds?
Your prophetic abilities have failed by now, so you don't know what the future holds. How can you be so sure that I will fail, or that war will definitely break out in the future?
The Great Toad Sage seemed somewhat moved by Uchiha Takashi's appearance.
Uchiha Takashi continued, "So... don't get in my way! Perhaps the kind of society I'm talking about will take a very long time to build."
The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit! I will march relentlessly towards my ideal, until the day I die!
Faced with the Great Toad Sage 'Great Toad Sage theories, Uchiha Takashi directly used his advanced modern philosophical knowledge to utterly refute them.
The Great Toad Sage's lips trembled, and a glimmer of light seemed to appear in his previously dim eyes. "Highly developed individual spirits, mutual understanding..."
Uchiha Takashi: "..." Is this guy selectively deaf? Is this all he can hear? Should he be given a lesson on Marx materialism?
The Great Toad Sage suddenly realized something and said, "Then what you're doing now seems to contradict what you said."
Uchiha Takashi crossed his arms and curled the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, this Great Toad had no idea what a materialist view of history was!
So Uchiha Takashi slowly began to explain to the Great Toad toad what the materialist concept of development was, explaining the relationship between productive forces and social relations.
Anyway, this Great Toad just sleeps Tenten and never leaves the house, so there's no need to worry about it spreading. Even if it did spread, who would dare to cause trouble for the Uchiha?
Right now, he's debating with the Great Toad, so of course they have to have a proper discussion!
As Uchiha Takashi continued his explanations, the Great Toad Sage's eyes widened, finally emitting a gleaming light.
Therefore, as long as technology continues to develop, no matter what, we will eventually be able to build a society where everyone understands and cares for one another.
All you have to do is try your best to reduce the frequency of wars in the process, right?
Uchiha Takashi: "That's right, everything I'm doing now is just on the way to that, reducing the sacrifices!"
If someone were to unite the entire Shinobi World by force, the intensity and frequency of wars would be far lower than they are now!
At the very least, under the watchful eyes of our Uchiha Clan, there will only be a war once every 200 years, if not 300, and the intensity of that war will be far lower than it is now.
Great Toad Sage: "... Although, isn't your approach a bit too extreme? How many people will be sacrificed in the process of forcibly unifying the Shinobi World? Do you understand that?"
Moreover, this approach is ultimately only a temporary solution, not a permanent one, as unity based on fear of force is ultimately not sustainable.
Uchiha Takashi: "It's because we're not strong enough. If I could wipe out the entire Shinobi World by myself, why would I bother with all that effort?"
If I were to unify the entire Shinobi World with my current strength and subdue them, even if they harbor disloyal intentions, they would not dare to act rashly out of fear of my power.
"And after you die, they will start a new war, just like the Sage of Six Paths. Before he died, no one dared to move, and immediately afterwards, the division began," the Great Toad Sage said, recalling the events.
Uchiha Takashi rolled his eyes. "Am I a waste? If I unified the entire Shinobi World by this age, and if I didn't manage to absorb and digest them all before I died, I might as well find a block of tofu and smash my head against it."
Oh dear, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You have no idea about my route. Want to make a bet?
Great Toad Sage: "What do you want to bet?"
"Let's bet on whether I can do everything I said: unify the entire Shinobi World by force and reduce the frequency of war to once every 200 years."
"Aren't you supposed to live a long life? Then you'll see if I can actually do all that I've said..."
Uchiha Takashi said confidently, "Are you kidding me? My charming ancestor's standardized cart tracks, unified writing system, and cultural unification—how could a lowly animal like you possibly understand that?"
While we were pursuing cultural unification, you guys were still playing Clash of Clans!
The Great Toad Sage, seeing that Uchiha Takashi's demeanor didn't seem fake, then stroked his chin.
"If what you said before is truly what you believe, then I'm willing to take this bet, hoping to see the Shinobi World as you describe it."
Uchiha Takashi smirked. "Fine, since that's the case... then teach me Senjutsu!"
Uchiha Takashi replied matter-of-factly, "My current strength isn't quite enough. Anyway, doesn't Mount Myōboku have Senjutsu? Teach me to improve my strength, so I'll have more confidence to do what I say."
The Great Toad Sage: "... Alright."
