Red sand dust

Jiraiya, who left Konoha Village in his early years and traveled around the ninja world, did not really disdain the position of Hokage, but had other things that he was more concerned about.

The defection of his former companion, Orochimaru, was a regret that he could not let go of.

His temperament is not suitable for being a Hokage, and his lack of patience to deal with common affairs is an excuse. It is true that he values ​​the friendship of his companions more.

Tsunade is a teammate, and so is Orochimaru. In Jiraiya's heart, they should be in the same position.

That's why he fought for Tsunade.

He complained a little, but he didn't really have any objections to Daimaru or Sunagakure Village.

Naturally, the reconstruction of the dignified Konoha Village would not entrust key areas to Suna Ninja. Otherwise, wouldn't the basic information and defensive loopholes be known to outsiders?

The Hokage Rock is important, but it does not involve core interests. In order to rush the work, it is okay to let the Suna Ninja take over.

Daimaru also knew that Jiraiya's nagging was not for an explanation, but to vent.

"I wonder how Xiaonan is doing now..."

After chatting for a while, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh,

"I hope she can change her ways! She used to be a kind and good child!"

"Beautiful qualities such as kindness, innocence and love need wisdom and strength to protect them!"

Smacking his lips, Daimaru shrugged and responded casually,

"A place like the Kingdom of Rain is like a gathering place for all kinds of filth. It's not easy to bloom beautiful flowers..."

When Jiraiya left Konan, Yahiko and Nagato in the Land of Rain, the future outcome was doomed.

Even without Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito scheming, and without Sansho Hanzo and Shimura Danzo causing trouble, the buffer zone between the great powers was destined to have no future.

The philosophy adhered to by the early "Akatsuki" organization was destined to be impossible to succeed.

Yahiko is a good leader and has found the right way to mediate between the great powers, but his own strength is not enough to mediate the conflicts between the five major ninja villages.

Do you really think that the neutral status of the Iron Kingdom was obtained casually?

With the powerful leader Mifune at the top and thousands of fully armed warriors at the bottom, there is an Iron Kingdom that is on par with the five great ninja villages.

"As expected...can't it?"

Jiraiya, who is over fifty years old, will definitely not be as naive as young people, thinking that having a goal that everyone is happy with will usher in a happy ending.

"Actually, I quite agree with the proposition of Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage. Understanding and love are the best ways to eliminate differences and conflicts. However, the conditions to achieve the goal are not yet met, at least I don't see it. To realize the hope..."

Although natural selection, survival of the fittest, and social Darwinism are also temporary choices, they are really too cruel. The reason why human beings are human is that human nature transcends instinct and animality. The primacy of all things cannot The sum total of beasts wrestling with nature.

"We all know that the current situation is wrong, but there is just no way to reverse it! Do you think so too?"

Jiraiya said regretfully, and Daimaru didn't know where to explain it. After being silent for a while, he said:

"Without heart-wrenching lessons, it is impossible for people to grow. Although...as time passes, they will all be forgotten, but there is always hope left..."

Repeating the same mistakes over and over again, just like the ninja wars again and again, countless victims are sacrifices to the future. Originally, Jiraiya was one of them, and there was even the "Red Sand" who died young dust".

"So, the foreseeable Fourth Ninja War is not over!"

Jiraiya, who was feeling a little depressed, suddenly thought of Tsunade who was still recovering from her injuries, Orochimaru who had been killed by Uchiha Sasuke, the worrying Konan, and Uzumaki Naruto in the ward not far away.

Earlier, there were Sakumo Hatake who committed suicide, Kushina Uzumaki who died, and Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage. They were all chosen at the moment. They were destined by fate and had extraordinary talents. In the end, they could only endure it. Struggling in the maelstrom of the world and unable to extricate himself.

"It's hard to say that if we can't do it, there will be better future generations who can do it..."

The purely material world has great limitations, and it is extremely difficult to climb the technological tree. When you get to the end, it will inevitably have to do with theology. The ninja world is a little different. It has extraordinary power, and there are all kinds of monsters, monsters, and even gods.

Perhaps, the invasion of the sacred tree and the Otsutsuki clan was not only a catastrophe for the ninja world, but also an opportunity to break through and rebuild.

Thinking of the ninja world as a closed-off conservative civilization, the Otsutsuki clan and the sacred tree are like the "Black Ship Attack" in the Age of Exploration, bringing about exchanges and collisions between star-sea civilizations.

Without the "Ancestor of Chakra" from ancient times, the ninja world might still be stuck in the barbaric age of shooting bows and arrows at each other and warriors charging in formations.

The existence of ninjas has indeed restricted the development of civilian technology, but isn't there also a big explosion of "puppet technology" in Sand Hidden Village?

Strength attributes and types are not a problem. As long as there is still a way forward, it is better than complacency or even regression.

After hearing Daimaru's words, Jiraiya looked back at Daimaru in surprise.

"I thought you were just talking casually, but now it seems that you really think there is no problem with the ideals of the Shodaime and Nagato?"

"There's nothing wrong with the idea, but that doesn't mean I agree with the approach..."

Daimaru smiled contemptuously and replied with a grin,

"For powerful ninjas like us, it is possible to change the world, but it is so difficult to change the mountains in people's hearts. Even we can only go with the flow of the times!"

"Go with the flow?"

Jiraiya's face darkened, thinking that Daimaru had some new ideas, but it turned out that he was just talking about it.

"Success does not have to be mine! The current efforts are not meaningless. It is not bad to create better opportunities for future generations! Maybe the first generation of Hokage - Senju Hashirama thinks so! It's a pity, doing things with good intentions, Didn’t get the desired result…”

The war that swept the entire ninja world would definitely not continue with the frequency of once every ten years.

With the development of ninjutsu, ninjas are becoming more and more efficient in killing. For example, the White Zetsu Army, the Reincarnated Undead Army of the Earth, the Clone Ninja Army, and even the air combat troops of Sunagakure Village can all kill in a very short time. Killed a large number of humans in the ninja world.

If this continues, the major countries and major ninja villages will not be able to afford the price of provoking a war. Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village were attacked and almost eliminated, which was just the beginning.

The unique strategic deterrence of the ninja world will form a new balance. This is the inevitable path for almost every "involution" civilization system. If not, it will definitely end in mutual destruction, so let's not mention it.

"It would be nice if you were born in Konoha Village. It might be more suitable for your performance..."

Jiraiya seemed to agree with Daimaru's statement, and spoke leisurely. When he heard similar words again, Daimaru couldn't help but smile:

"It's hard to say! In fact, Sand Hidden Village is not bad. It is much better than the Country of Rain, the Country of Grass, and the Country of Fields! Moreover, Sand Hidden Village has many opportunities, and not many people compete with me for resources... …”

There are so many strong people in Konoha Village. Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui and others of the same age can suppress Daimaru before he can get ahead. The next twelve ninjas will be tougher than Daimaru in the background. It's a good thing. It’s not Daimaru’s turn either.

Sunagakure Village is much better. Except for Temari, Kankuro and Gaara, Daimaru is almost the only one, without even a competitor.

Which one is better, the chicken head or the cow queen, depends on the specific situation. A person like Daimaru who is rampant when he succeeds is not suitable for attacking others.

"Actually, in Konoha's internal evaluation, most people think that you will be the biggest obstacle to the friendship between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village, but I personally don't think so! Now it seems that I was right..."

Speaking of this, Jiraiya said proudly,

"I don't understand those very professional things, but I'm still very accurate when it comes to judging people!"

"oh?"

Speaking of this, Daimaru became interested. Because Konohagakure has the Yamanaka family, a large family with excellent inheritance of spiritual secrets, it does have a danger assessment similar to a "mental model";

There are also factions in Sand Hidden Village, but most of them are concentrated under the family of Miss Saya. They are mainly used for internal screening and uncovering spies.

Establishing such a data sample requires an extremely large number of cases for analysis. Daimaru also wanted to establish a test standard for flying ninja character in the air combat force, but unfortunately the time was short and the effect was not good.

"Actually, it's not to blame those people for their narrow vision! Most of the time, the standards applied to ordinary people will not go wrong, but some people are not within the common sense, such as you. From the moment I get to know you, I feel that you are not like He's a sand ninja, not even... like a ninja!"

Whether it is a ninja village from the five major countries, a ninja living in a small country, or even a wandering ninja, from the moment he was born in this world, he has been affected by the surrounding people. When he grows up, he will always leave behind "polished" and " Traces of carving.

These are also present in Daimaru, but there are more differences that are so obvious in Jiraiya's eyes.

"You probably never thought of yourself as an ordinary Suna ninja, but as an ordinary person who has learned powerful ninjutsu, right?"

The before and after seem similar, but the positions are very different.

Because of this, the so-called ninja's pride, mental weakness, unspoken rules, and thinking patterns are very different from those of ordinary Suna ninjas.

Regardless of whether it is Konoha Village, Kirigakure Village, Kumogakure Village, or even Iwagakure Village, Daimaru does not regard them as natural enemies, but as competitors who can coexist.

As for whether this "coexistence" is "harmonious", it depends on each person's ability.

"This is the difference in vision. The ideas of the first generation, Madara Uchiha, Yahiko and Nagato are not much different from yours, but you are more pragmatic and unlike others who rely on force to arbitrarily manipulate the order of the ninja world... "

"Senior really thinks highly of me..."

Daimaru responded with a smile,

"Comparing myself with those ambitious seniors is too flattering. I just don't advocate meaningless and valuable killing. It is not easy for a human life to come into this world. It should not die so quietly without leaving traces of existence. Really. If necessary, I will not be polite if you fight or kill me..."

When my strength is low, I always think that when I become stronger, I can kill more decisively and kill whoever I want.

When you really have that strength, you will feel that it is not worth wasting your time on meaningless "miscellaneous fish".

The ninja world is so big, and there are so many interesting and challenging things. The so-called "killing decisively" is just to scare the weak. It really doesn't bring any pleasure, nor can it prove one's bravery and ability.

If you want to appear more majestic, it will be more effective to challenge someone stronger.

"If everyone thought like you, there would definitely be a lot less disputes in the ninja world."

"Because I am stronger, that's why I have such a calm attitude! Seniors don't have to underestimate the thoughts of the general public, they also have their own way of survival..."

In the ward below, there was the sound that the examination was about to end. Daimaru observed for a while and then continued to explain,

"Nagato's mistake was that he arrogantly wanted to use his own moral values ​​to set rules for others. He claimed to be a 'god' but did not understand the true meaning of 'god'. There is no 'god' who is aloof and looks down on people. The idea of ​​treating human beings as a matter of course and using human hearts to speculate on God’s will is ridiculous..."

In the final analysis, Nagato, who felt unable to change, placed his last hope on "God" and gave up on surrender.

"I roughly understand why you sided with the Shodaime instead of Uchiha Madara, who is more in line with your position. Whether it is a true god, claiming to be a god or intending to impose something in the name of a god, even if it is goodwill and peace, You don’t even want it…”

The love and peace that Ashura and Senju Hashirama insist on are, to put it bluntly, from the standpoint of "people's hearts"; and the ideas of Indra and Uchiha Madara have gone to the extreme, and Otsutsuki Kaguya and Shenju rule Ninja. The pattern of the world is the same.

Jiraiya's sudden realization made Daimaru smile happily, showing his big white teeth.

"Ever since I became stronger, I can't stand a certain existence standing above my head and gesticulating, and keeps saying to 'educate' me! I'm used to being a 'human', but I'm really not used to being a 'god's' people and livestock... "

Whether it was Nagato, Uchiha Madara, the Holy Land of Psychic Beasts, or even the Otsutsuki clan and the sacred tree, Daimaru felt that it was a bit of an eyesore. If he wanted to be a "god", he would just hang it on the wall and stand in the temple. When no one is praying for you, don't worry about showing your presence.

"So, my feeling is right. You really don't think about doing anything to Konoha Village. The most you can do is take advantage of it..."

Isn’t the so-called use mutual?

The biggest difference between Daimaru and the traditional Suna Ninja is that Rasa feels that if Sunagakure Village wants to rise, it must capture Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village, but Daimaru feels that this is not the case.

"The ninja world is very large and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of ninjas. It is far from a 'zero-sum game' or even a 'negative-sum game'..."

When you really have to turn inward, you don't have to use your wits.

Look at the Otsutsuki clan and the sacred tree, the great voyage of the universe, this world is much more open than Daimaru's previous life. Taking back the moon is just a small test.
