Chapter 326: The foundation of the power system, three years of lectures in the Rain Country
The world of Naruto?
It's such a dark world again.
It seems that everyone is working hard for peace, but because of cognition and their own ignorance, in the end the world still does not change much.
Kevin looked at the sky and reached out to catch the raindrops.
Looking at the two nervous little guys in front of him, it was obvious that this was the Land of Rain. Although I couldn't remember the time clearly, it was probably the Second Ninja World War.
After thinking for a moment, Kevin walked towards Yahiko and Konan.
"Yes...I'm sorry."
Under the raincoat, Yahiko looked very nervous, but he still stood in front of Konan.
However, Kevin ignored him and passed by the two men.
With his back to the two of them, Kevin said, "Why should you apologize? Life is the most basic instinct to survive. There's nothing wrong with living."
Hearing this, Yahiko's pupils shrank. He turned around and looked at Konan. Then the two of them ignored the corpses on the ground and followed Kevin firmly.
……
Next to a small river outside the town of Rain Country, Kevin threw trees one by one on the ground.
He reached out and picked up a branch, then wrapped it around him in a domineering manner.
"Om..."
The next moment, the slashing blow swept past and directly chopped the wood into square blocks.
Another blow of the knife chopped the square wood into a wooden board.
This scene stunned the two little ghosts who followed.
"Xiao...Xiaonan, is this a samurai?"
"I don't know either... Ninja?"
At this time, Kevin looked over.
"Build a wooden house in exchange for food."
After saying that, Kevin walked to the river and saw that there were several fish stuck on the branches in just a few moments.
Afterwards, Kevin grilled the fish by the river, occasionally sprinkling some spices bought from the town.
A few hours later, the two eight-year-olds had actually built a rough framework for the cabin. They both had pretty good physiques.
Kevin saw it.
Compared to the pirate world, the physical constitution of life in this world is much worse, but it is much stronger than in memory.
"Come here, let's eat."
On the campfire, a casserole was steaming fragrant rice, and the two little guys kept swallowing their saliva.
"Serve the rice."
"Yes."
Yahiko couldn't wait to lift the lid of the casserole, but he retracted his hand the next moment because he was burned.
Seeing this, Kevin reached out and opened it.
His physique is not afraid of this kind of temperature, but he still covers his hands with Armament Haki.
"Want to learn?"
Hearing this, the two little guys were stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
In such a turbulent world, the identity of war orphans means that both of their parents died in the war. Having witnessed the cruelty of this world, the two people understand very well what strength represents.
And the ones who represent power in this world are... Ninjas.
"Are you a ninja, sir?"
Yahiko's eyes were filled with longing.
But Kevin shook his head: "No, I'm not a ninja, and this is not chakra."
These words made the two of them look a little dim.
"So you still want to learn?"
It's not a ninja, nor is it ninjutsu. Such a result is not what the two of them are aiming for.
But in the chaos of the Rain Kingdom, both of them knew that this was an opportunity, a hard-won opportunity.
If they missed this opportunity, they didn’t know if they would have the same luck as today.
However, just as the two were about to agree, Kevin said, "I want to learn, but I may not teach you. And someone like me, who is only a few years older than you, probably won't be able to convince you."
Hearing this, Yahiko fell silent.
On the other hand, Xiaonan clenched his hands and replied in a deep voice: "My Lord said that it is right to live for the sake of survival. We just want to live, and we must have strength to survive in the war."
"The Lord has no objection to us following, so... there is hope that we can be taught, right?"
After he finished speaking, Yahiko raised his head, his eyes bright.
Kevin looked at Xiaonan, somewhat surprised.
As far as she could remember, this girl was the only one among the three members of Akatsuki who had always lived according to the will of the other two.
But now it seems... this is when she is smartest.
In comparison, Yahiko, who came out and asked for food directly to test good and evil, should be considered reckless rather than brave.
That was Jiraiya, and even Tsunade, who never thought of helping them, and Orochimaru even suggested killing them directly.
Kevin glanced at the rice and grilled fish.
"Serve the food."
……
Half an hour later, the two men, who had eaten and drunk their fill, continued to build the wooden house. Kevin did not say a word, but just watched them finish building the house.
Late evening, midnight, dawn...
It wasn't until the sky brightened that the wooden house was finally built.
The two kids collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. Kevin then stood up and reached out his hand to pat them on the head.
A warm current surged from their bodies, and for a moment they felt as if they had recovered their exhausted strength, and even felt that they could smash rocks with one punch.
Is this... a ninjutsu?
"The seeds have been planted. Next, you need to know why you want power."
“Find your own dream, find your own spiritual will, only then can the seeds take root and sprout.”
"I'm not a ninja, but the so-called ninjas aren't that powerful."
……
Time passed day by day, and half a month later, the cabin was fully furnished, and the two little ghosts began what they thought was their practice.
However, the idea that he could smash the rock half a month ago was realized to be just an illusion after Yahiko punched the rock.
The two men, who had not made any progress, had to find ways to get enough food, so they went back to their old ways and got food in the town.
The two asked Kevin several times, but the answer they got was always spiritual will.
Three months later, a child with red hair covering his eyes appeared in the cabin, and his aura was very strong according to his sight.
"Mr... Sir."
Xiaonan twisted her hands together, feeling a little nervous: "He fainted from hunger on the road, so..."
Kevin smiled and said, "Doing good things is essentially something that should never be blamed, right? Just like what I said when I first met you, everyone has the right to live."
Hearing this, the three little ghosts were overjoyed.
"I knew the master would agree. Nagato, come on, call the master."
"gentlemen."
"Wang!"
"This kid is really lucky." Kevin lowered his head and continued to look at the ninjutsu scroll in his hand, which he picked up on the battlefield in the past three months and used for experiments.
"But on the other hand, you should understand your situation, right? Although this wooden house was built by you, the materials were all made by me, and I also bought the waterproofing and other things in the town."
"As for food, you go to the town to steal every day, but it's only enough to fill your own stomachs. Now with one more person... and a dog, it's even more difficult to get enough to eat."
Nagato quickly raised his hand: "I can help you find food."
Yahiko also replied: "It's no problem to feed him."
Xiaonan also nodded: "Kindness should not be denied, that's what the master said."
Upon hearing this, Kevin burned the scroll to ashes, then extended his hand to Nagato.
Seeing this, Nagato walked over.
A hand was then placed on his shoulder, and heat surged into his body. That was the power system from another world, and it was also one of the abilities he gained after coming to this world.
To give... the basis of another system.
“Find your own dream, persevere in pursuing it, and the firmness of your mental will will give you the power to realize your dream.”
After he finished speaking, Kevin put his hand down and started looking at another scroll.
……
Half a year later, in the Land of Rain.
As a battlefield, this country, where rain falls all year round, has experienced many wars.
Although there is a rule that ninjas cannot attack ordinary people, it is obvious that this rule has no binding force when the war is going on.
The power of ninjas can even change the terrain to some extent. Once the battle begins, no one will care about the life and death of ordinary people.
On the way to the cabin, the three little ghosts witnessed a battle between the world's top combat forces.
The detonating talismans blown up by the aftermath fell from the sky, the rocks were blown to pieces, and the three little guys rolled over to avoid it.
The dog named Little One was hit by the explosion and fell to the ground, twitching.
Nagato picked him up and called out to him but to no avail.
Yahiko on the side looked into the distance, where a famous scene was being played out: Hanzo, who was known as a demigod in the Land of Rain, bestowed the title of the Three Ninjas of Konoha on a salamander.
The next moment, several Rain Ninjas wearing gas masks appeared and surrounded the three little ghosts.
"Ordinary people."
"It should be a war orphan nearby."
"Are you going to kill them?"
"No need. After this, we should also call for a truce."
A few words of conversation determined the fate of Yahiko and others.
Such a result was fortunate for them, as Hanzo gave Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru the title of Three Ninjas after a fight, which was an attempt to show goodwill.
If Hanzo wants to continue the war, all three will die.
……
The famous scene ended and the three of them went to the wooden house.
Along the way, Yahiko frowned, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.
After returning to the cabin, he still said nothing.
Only after he clenched his hands into fists did he suddenly stand up and say to Konan and Nagato: "I want to go find them."
Nagato was a little confused: "Who are you looking for?"
Xiaonan looked worried: "Those three Konoha ninjas? But they may not teach us ninjutsu, and sir..."
Before he finished speaking, Kevin, who was still looking at the scroll outside the room, said, "You can stay or go as you like."
Hearing this, Yahiko walked up to Kevin, bowed deeply, and said, "I want to live, so I need strength. Sorry... sir."
Kevin nodded casually: "To find your true dream, you need to understand this world. When you come back, I think you will have grown a lot."
Half an hour later, the three little guys had packed their luggage and left the cabin after bowing deeply.
……
Three days later, Kevin closed the door of the cabin and left as well.
Two years later, a school appeared in the Rain Country, teaching knowledge for free, reading and writing, and telling stories.
Over the course of two years, the school, which originally had only one or two children, gradually grew in number.
The three people, Yahiko, who had followed Jiraiya first, had now completed two years of study with Jiraiya and began to be active in the Land of Rain.
In the classroom of the school, Kevin told today's story.
"The Warring States Period ended with absolute power. After the establishment of the Fire Country Konoha Ninja Village, various countries also began to form military forces based on ninja villages."
"This phenomenon has never occurred in the Warring States Period, but it has emerged like bamboo shoots after the establishment of Konoha, the Land of Fire. Does anyone know the root cause?"
As soon as he finished speaking, some children in the class raised their hands.
Kevin looked at him: "Naoki."
The twelve-year-old child stood up and said, "The teacher said that if the old system changes on its own, there must be something that can threaten the old system."
"The establishment of the ninja village united the ninja clans that were originally scattered all over the Fire Country. The integration of military forces made the Fire Country stronger."
"In this case, other countries must follow suit, because ... if they don't change, they will perish."
Kevin nodded: "Well said, sit down."
Kevin then looked outside the academy and said, "If you don't change, you will die. This is the fundamental reason. So did the establishment of the Ninja Village really bring peace to the Ninja World? This was the dream of the first Hokage of Konoha, and he was willing to pay any price for it."
"No, it hasn't."
I answered this question myself, because the answer to this question is particularly obvious in the Rain Country.
Is there peace yet?
absolutely not.
At this time, Kevin looked outside the classroom and said, "If you want to listen, you can come in. Everyone is welcome here."
Outside the classroom, the three little ghosts appeared in front of Kevin again.
After bowing, the three of them sat down.
Kevin continued his lecture: "The first Five Kage Summit was held at the insistence of the first Hokage of Konoha. The five Kage sat down at the negotiation table, and there was no life-and-death struggle as soon as they met."
"So, what made them agree to sit down and talk?"
Hearing this, Yahiko raised his hand.
After Kevin nodded, Yahiko stood up and replied: "Because the first Hokage moved the other five Kage with his sincerity, and it was also after the first Five Kage Summit that the peace in the ninja world lasted for a very long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Naoki raised his hand suddenly.
After Kevin nodded, he said, "No! They are actively participating in the talks because of the distribution of the tailed beasts. They want to obtain the power of the tailed beasts and prevent other countries from having them while they don't!"
Yahiko was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted: "Sir, you said four days ago that the first Hokage kowtowed and begged for peace at the first Five Kage Summit. Such sincerity is the real reason!"
Naoki: "Sincerity? How naive can you be to say such a thing? How can sincerity exist between countries?"
Yahiko glared back, "How could it be otherwise? As the strongest Hokage of Konoha, you are asking for it by bowing your head. This is the greatest sincerity!"
Naoki: "Then why did the Second Ninja World War start so quickly after the death of the First Hokage? After the Ninja Village System, the scale of the war was much larger than before. So many people died every time. Is this really peace?"
Yahiko was stunned.
After a long silence, other students in the classroom began to speak.
“How can there be sincerity between countries?”
"How long have you been here?"
"There's no need to discuss this kind of thing."
