From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 374 The Five Great Masters’ Meeting, the Secret of History

Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.

As the top leaders who hold the highest power in a country and control the world's political education, their blood relatives may have dementia, but those who have become daimyo are not stupid.

There is more than just one surname in the Daming Prefecture, the aristocracy is also part of the upper echelons here.

The staff is mostly made up of smart people.

"Regarding the establishment of a history course at Konoha Ninja School, after half a year of investigation, the information passed back is basically not problematic."

The first person in the shogunate, Ichiro Genji, raised his head slightly and continued, "Although there is no trend of a coup in Konoha at present, everyone should be aware of the agreement of the nobles' community of interests."

Below, Fujiwara Hiroshi, who was also a noble, replied: "Sir, it is not in accordance with the rules for Namikaze Minato to succeed as Hokage. He is just a commoner, and there is a high possibility that he has problems with his thinking."

The staff of the Hara clan said solemnly: "When Hashirama Senju negotiated with us, he set the conditions for the succession of the Hokage. There was no condition that the successor must be of a noble family name."

For a time, the two sides, who had been arguing about the succession of the Fourth Hokage, started arguing again.

"It's been many years since Senju Hashirama died! How dare you still be afraid of his power?"

"The words of a dead man mean nothing! Commoners should not have reached such a position. This was decided long ago in the interests of the nobility!"

"Although the Senju clan has dispersed, this does not mean that the Senju are completely dead!"

"Only by establishing rules and abiding by them can those ninjas form a self-circulating consumption cycle under the rules."

……

"Ahem... Now we should no longer be discussing the succession to the Fourth Hokage."

A voice interrupted everyone.

As the leader of the Shogunate, Ichiro Genji looked at the Taira clan who spoke.

"The succession of the Fourth Hokage was agreed by the Daimyo, there is no doubt about that. What we want to discuss is to determine whether the history class of Konohagakure is related to the Rain Country Academy that is currently in several countries."

They didn't care about Konoha's history lessons.

Even the intelligence reported that the class was originally called Ideology Class.

But they had no objection to commemorating the two deceased Hokage and telling the history of the founding of Konoha.

However, the academies that have spread out with the Rain Country as their center are something that the daimyo of all countries need to treat with caution.

"From the information we have obtained so far, it seems that Konoha has no connection with the Land of Rain. And the teacher who taught in the ninja school was also the enlightenment teacher of the Uchiha clan."

"The Third Shinobi World War has ended. During the stable period, the Fire Nation also needs Konoha's strength to guard against other countries."

"The war is over, and the agreement is also temporarily over. We need to consider the relationship between the nobles and the ninjas, and between the countries as well."

"The Fire Country has rich land, and the Wind Country, including the Daimyo and the Kage of Sunagakure, have always wanted to occupy a part of it."

……

Compared with the five major ninja villages, the opinions given by the staff of the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion are on completely different levels in terms of political thought and awareness.

The education of ideas is controlled by the nobles, and ninjas have always been instilled with the idea of ​​being tools.

Ten or twenty years later, war broke out and a group of people were reaped, and the current situation was formed under the constraints of experience.

On the surface, the daimyo is Jade, and the shadow of the ninja village is also Jade.

However, there is a clear distinction between jade and jade, and the succession of Hokage requires the consent of the daimyo, which is the most crucial point.

Ichiro Genji nodded as he listened to the discussion of succession.

He also thought that both the nobles and the ninjas, and between countries, needed to be considered.

The aristocratic community of interests was dissolved after the war, and the next war is still more than ten years away from now, judging from the current situation.

Therefore, Konoha needs to maintain relationships during its stable period.

This is also... the reason why the daimyo did not stop the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen from recommending Namikaze Minato.

Intelligence shows that Golden Flash's personality is completely different from Konoha's Dark Danzo.

"The Rain Country relies on its geographical location. The establishment of a commercial center has made them too rich. This wealth should not belong to them, but only to a ninja and a pariah."

Ichiro Genji stood up and said, "I will meet with the Daimyo later and propose that Konoha attack the commercial center of the Rain Country. This will help me determine if Konoha has any bad intentions, and I will also be able to gain benefits."

Fujiwara Hiroshi bowed his head and said, "Sir, what are the other four great ninja villages?"

Ichiro Genji: "After the war, although the constraints between the nobles have been lifted, this does not mean that the meeting cannot be restarted. Uchiha Madara's defection to Konoha was the first time, and the spread of dangerous ideas in the Rain Country Academy was the second time."

Fujiwara Hiroshi lowered his head: "I understand. At the same time, I also agree with your suggestion."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

……

A day later, the Five Kage Summit was held for the second time in a non-war period, as it had never been restarted since the first one.

A secret place, shrouded in darkness.

After the light appeared, the daimyō of the five major countries sat down at the same time at a prototype conference table.

"As for meetings during non-war periods, I remember that the only time this was held was when Uchiha Madara defected."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning spoke first: "Has the school in the Land of Rain reached this point?"

At the side, the daimyo of the Wind Country replied: "According to the information we have obtained so far, the people who graduated from that school have become the backbone of the Rain Country."

"Some of them have the power to protect the caravans as a security force. Others have spread out and become teachers in the academy again."

Upon hearing this, the Fire Country Daimyo was moved.

Is the teacher of Konoha's history class born in the Rain Country Academy?
If so, then Minato Namikaze's position is questionable.

However, the affairs of Konoha Village are managed by the Kage, and on the surface there are two Tamae. The daimyo cannot question the Kage unless there is a problem.

"I have some information here."

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth, which borders the Land of Rain, presented a document.

A short story is clearly recorded above.

The protagonist of the story is a servant of a caravan, and the son of this servant is indeed a member of the Rain Country’s security force.

This was roughly the information provided, but it left the daimyo stunned.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion.

"How can it be?"

"The son of a servant? Are you sure there have been no ninjas in this servant's family for generations?"

"You should know what it means to be a member of the security force without chakra, Daimyo of the Land of Earth. I don't believe you would be so kind as to give us this information for free."

As soon as the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning finished speaking, several people who had just lost consciousness looked over at the same time.

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth replied in a deep voice: "Because... none of the students born in the academy, those untouchables who have special powers, are willing to cooperate."

"Even if the ninja uses secret techniques, all they get is ordinary physical training. The talk about willpower is vague and has no results." For a moment, the meeting fell silent.

The Fire Country Daimyo opened his folding fan to cover half of his face, recalling the information given by his staff.

In comparison, it seems that the Fire Nation is lagging behind a little.

The reason why several other countries have not taken action seems to be this special force.

Without chakra, it is possible to possess power comparable to that of a ninja. This is the way to eliminate hidden dangers.

Now the door to this road is visible, but I can’t walk up... How can I accept this?

After a long time, the Daimyo of the Land of Water directly changed the subject.

"Everyone, we all know what the existence of ninjas represents. Compared to other ninja clans, our heritage is much longer and longer since before the Warring States Period."

“There are many secrets of this world that they don’t know, but we have passed them down from generation to generation.”

"That war nearly reduced the entire world to ruins. The former nobles were reduced to ashes in the aftermath of the battle between the goddess and her offspring."

"There is no way to ask questions, no choice. There is no point in surrendering or kneeling down to beg. Because they can't see us at all, because the huge rocks that fell like mountains are just the aftermath of their battle."

"Countless untouchables were killed and wounded, and so were we. According to the records, no one from the main family of the Taira clan survived."

"Killing you...what does it have to do with you?"

This question made several people feel cold in their hearts at the same time.

They are jade, jade that holds the power of a country from high above.

But in the records... they were as humble as ants, with no room for resistance.

This is the reason why the aristocratic community of interests continues to this day, and it is also the reason why they must unite.

Even if they are daimyo, they will prove before the meeting that they have not suffered any accidents or any signs of being under any illusion.

Only by being careful and cautious can this world continue to exist today.

"The Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninja Clan and traveled around the world, using Yin-Yang Release to create form from nothingness and give it new life."

The Daimyo of the Wind Country continued, "But isn't this the result they caused? The restoration of the earth also stopped when it approached the Wind Country."

"Giving ordinary people chakra, establishing the Ninja Clan, and establishing mutual trust between people. What does that bastard want to do? Does he really think our ancestors don't know?!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning took over the conversation: "So he failed. After a little guidance, the past god's technique evolved into ninjutsu. After his descendants differentiated, we have a chance..."

"Restore the glory of the nobility and restore our former position of power!"

In the Ninja Clan's era, chakra was the power that allowed people to build bridges of communication.

After contact, they will be able to understand each other's goodwill, which will create a certain basis for resolving conflicts through dialogue.

But after the emergence of hand seals and ninjutsu, mastering the power and solving problems with force became a better option.

After the death of the Six Paths Sage, the Ninja Clan fell apart.

Various ninja clans appeared, and the chakra power seeds seemed to begin to spread with humans as the center.

Then the nobles' opportunity came.

Under repeated guidance, the originally free lunch became a weight for the various ninja clans to accumulate hatred among each other.

"Everyone, the guy who appeared this time is not Senju Hashirama."

The Fire Country Daimyo folded his folding fan and said, "The dangerous thoughts originated from the Rain Country, and the seeds of those special powers are also very similar to the methods of the Six Paths Sage recorded in the literature."

"Senju Hashirama is just an individual with overwhelming power, but he also has enough fatal weaknesses. Uchiha Madara defected, and he agreed to our request, so we also agreed to the rise of the ninja village."

"But this time... the guy who has been hiding is more like the... Six Paths Sage in the records."

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth exhaled, "Senju Hashirama... He possessed such power, but because of his inner weakness in Konoha, he could only compromise in the end."

The Daimyo of the Land of Water tapped the table.

After a while, he said, "Now that the door has appeared, should we let the other party be killed along with the door and the road? Or should we continue to observe?"

For a moment, it was quiet again.

Observation requires gambling. If you don’t observe, and the five major ninja villages surround the Rain Country with their combined strength, the destruction of the Rain Country will be a foregone conclusion.

But in this way, the door was really broken once again.

"Wait a minute."

Finally, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind proposed the direction.

Together with Konoha and the Land of Earth, the three of them border the Land of Rain, and he also has some information about the Land of Rain.

Developing this power is the best way to solve the problem of ninja once and for all.

Obviously, what the Daimyo of the Wind Country wanted to gamble on might be the experiment that was currently being conducted.

At this time, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth also raised his hand after thinking for a moment.

“That’s my opinion, too.”

"If we can solve the ninja problem from the root, we will be the only daimyo who can truly take back power after that disaster."

"This struggle has been going on for too long. Perhaps we can end it in this generation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Country Daimyo also raised his hand.

The three countries bordering the Rain Country simultaneously proposed to suspend the action.

It’s not the emergence of new chakra power, the fundamental reason involved has already gone too far away from the interests of the commercial center.

Although the Fire Nation did not discover it as early as the Wind Nation and the Earth Nation, it is not too late now.

Three of the five people representing the nobles agreed. Lei and Shui, who were the farthest away from the Rain Kingdom, also agreed after some thought.

If it cannot be stopped, then we need to get in touch with it as soon as possible, to obtain the seed of this power, and preferably to gain this ability.

……

After the meeting, the five daimyos reached a consensus and left one after another.

No one knows where the meeting will be held.

Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.

Chief of staff Ichiro Genji bowed slightly, and then the daimyo recounted the entire process of the meeting and the final decision.

In order to temporarily suspend the joint encirclement and suppression of the Rain Country, we must find the way behind the door.

As long as this power can be firmly held in the hands of the nobles, there is no need for ninjas to continue to exist.

"Perhaps... we can let one of our people go to the class and give it a try."

"us?"

"Change your appearance and join as a commoner. The daimyofu can create a complete past for it."
