What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?.

Chapter 278: Senju Hashirama: Huh? The one you are talking about who possesses extraordinary wisdom is me?
"It's prosperous and thriving. It doesn't look like a ninja village at all. To be honest, if I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have even thought it was the capital of the Land of Fire."

"Although the population is not as large as that of the Fire Nation, the vitality and vigor of the city, where all things thrive, is unmatched by any other capital of the Fire Nation."

"If we can maintain this overflowing vitality, sooner or later, Konoha will surpass the capital of the Land of Fire and become the most prosperous city in the entire ninja world."

The Third Kazekage spoke slowly and gave a very high evaluation of the current Konoha.

Hearing this, the Third Raikage nodded in agreement. He thought so too - although he couldn't make a simple summary like the Third Kazekage, this was indeed the feeling, so he felt that what the Third Kazekage said penetrated deep into his heart.

However, afterwards, the Third Kazekage suddenly changed the subject: "However, although this prosperity is good, it is also good for any daimyo or noble in the ninja world, or even for some big businessmen who rule a region."

"But this is definitely not what a ninja village should look like."

The Third Raikage narrowed his eyes: "Why are you so sure?"

The Third Kazekage smiled and said, "I'll let my subordinate Luo Sha tell you this!"

As he said this, he motioned Luo Sha behind him to come forward.

Suddenly, everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village turned their eyes to Rosa, and when Yeyue Ai, who was behind the Third Raikage, saw this, she showed an obvious look of disgust, full of disdain and hatred for Rosa.

Luo Sha saw the whole scene, but he didn't care because he had become accustomed to such looks in the past month.

Everything was due to the original grand plan, which allowed Ye Cang to enter Konoha as an undercover agent in a reasonable manner.

Now, this plan has been implemented very smoothly, Ye Cang has successfully entered Konoha, and Rasa has been stigmatized because of this plan. He is regarded by the world as a scum who suppresses his subordinates, has a strong desire for power, and is a bit mean - although it is publicized that Rasa wants to combine with Ye Cang in order to obtain Ye Cang's power and political resources so that he can ascend to the throne more smoothly, and he looks like a conspirator no matter how you look at it, but such behavior is too bad, so the label of meanness is also put on Rasa.

Rasa doesn't care about the current situation at all, because he knows very well what he is doing. His superiors and the top leaders of the Sand Village are also very clear about what he is carrying. They are all moved by his sacrifice and praise him highly. Basically, the position of the Fourth Kazekage is as stable as it can be.

With this honor that cannot be disclosed, Rasa does not care about any criticism or prejudice from the outside world, and is sincerely grateful to his brother Sarutobi Mizuki in his heart.

Because, this way of thinking was taught to him by Brother Mizuki. That elder brother from Konoha really taught him a lot, especially the benefits of the method of "self-pollution", which benefited him a lot.

After all, the ninja world is not a society influenced by Confucianism. People don't really care about moral issues. Minor stains like being lewd and abusing power are not even considered stains.

If these are really the problems, then many Kage in the ninja world today are unqualified, and many are not even qualified to be Kage.

For example, Jiraiya, his character problems are obvious, but in the original work, after the death of the Fourth Hokage, he is still the first-in-line successor to the Fifth Hokage. If he himself is unwilling to be the Fifth Hokage, no one can stop him from ascending to the throne, and not many people will object.

Of course, some people are unhappy with Rasa. Although the future Fourth Raikage is the new king of the Naruto comic book world and is an existence that can overturn the entire ninja world, that only exists in the comic book world. The real Yeyue Ai is very disdainful and disgusted with these things.

Moreover, it is not because Rasa is a bad person. It is simply because Rasa forced away the outstanding female ninja of the Sand Village in the struggle for power, making her a traitor.

Yeyue Ai thought that if it were him, he would never let such a thing happen - in fact, Yeyue Ai in the original work did do such a thing. During the "Third Generation" and "Fourth Generation" periods of the entire ninja world, the only two who did not have any rebellious ninjas were Namikaze Minato and the Fourth Raikage Ai.

Moreover, Namikaze Minato died early. If he were alive, there would definitely be rebellious ninjas - there was no way around it, because Orochimaru, another candidate for the Fourth Hokage, was extremely unhappy about not being able to become Hokage.
Therefore, according to the content that has been shown in the original work, in the entire Fourth Generation period, only Ye Yue Ai, as the Fourth Raikage, had no rebellious ninja, and the entire ninja village was united. If it were not for the destiny of Konoha and the existence of a cheating protagonist, the Hidden Cloud Village should have become the strongest ninja village far surpassing other villages under the leadership of the Fourth Raikage.

Of course, these are all stories in the "original work". In today's world line, Luo Sha is very disdainful of Ye Yue Ai, with a kind of pride that summer insects cannot talk about ice. And Luo Sha then tells his cognition, from the prosperous surface, telling the hidden stories behind, telling the corruption and degeneration hidden in Konoha, telling the breeding of Konoha's bureaucracy, telling how Konoha is united in making money, telling how you can get important information from Konoha by spending money, and telling how Konoha does not mind revealing important secrets.

In the end, the successor of the Kazekage judged with his own knowledge, experience and forward-looking vision that although Konoha was now thriving, the decay beneath this prosperity had already begun, and was breeding depravity and corruption at a very fast rate.

This kind of depravity and corruption is just like those decadent nobles and daimyo, which is a manifestation of complete corruption. It is brought about by economic prosperity and population growth. This change also directly proves that the ninja village is not suitable for economic development or large-scale population growth.

At the end, Luo Sha also commented: "The first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, was so powerful back then. He was the god of ninjas who dominated the ninja world. But could the Konoha Village he founded really only accommodate so many people in the early days of Konoha?"

"Obviously not. If Hashirama Senju is willing, he can easily recruit a large number of people and build a city that is more prosperous than the capital of the Land of Fire."

"But why doesn't he do it?"

"Obviously, it's because the first Hokage possessed superior wisdom and foresight. He had long foreseen the problems of the ninja village and knew that the ninja village could never develop like a normal city. Therefore, he only built a village, not a city, to ensure that Konoha's music score and population remained constant, and to ensure that Konoha's ninjas always had the fighting spirit and maintained the qualities that belonged to ninjas."

"However, now, decades later, Konoha Village has completely forgotten and cannot understand the good intentions of the first Hokage. Therefore, Konoha has relaxed its development restrictions, bringing Konoha a false prosperity."

"This prosperity is bound to eventually lead Konoha into the abyss, and this is just as we predicted from the beginning."

"So, there is no need to panic about Konoha's current prosperity and great changes, because the more prosperous they are, the weaker and more corrupt they will be."

Full of confidence, Rasa finished his analysis. Even though his words would make Hashirama Senju, who was being praised by him, look confused and ask who he was talking about, all his words were self-consistent and well-founded, which made people believe it.

After all, the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju, has long been given too many halos and is completely different from the real him.

Now, Luo Sha takes Senju Hashirama as an example and uses his own thinking mode to interpret Senju Hashirama, which makes other people think it makes sense. After all, in the eyes of these people, Senju Hashirama should be such a wise and far-sighted man.

So, the Raikage and others fell into deep thought, and the more they thought about the information that Rasa said, the more it made sense to them, and their hearts, which had been trembling due to seeing the great changes in Konoha, were calmed down.

Because this really makes sense and is a development that they can understand.

For a moment, the original worries mostly dissipated, and the thought that "Konoha will decay and degenerate on its own" resurfaced.

If this continues, the matter will eventually be exposed, and the start of the Ninja World War is bound to be delayed further.

However, this was totally unacceptable to Black Zetsu, who was hiding in the shadows and heard everything these people were talking about, because what Black Zetsu wanted now was to let the Ninja World War begin as soon as possible!
So, Black Zetsu secretly peeked at this meeting. Those isolating barriers were completely ineffective against him. He saw everything easily and decided to do something. At least, he couldn't let the Sand Village and the Cloud Village continue to be self-righteous and think that Konoha's current development was a dead end.

As for how to do it, that is something Black Zetsu needs to think about carefully.

It was under such circumstances that in Loulan, far away from Konoha, Orochimaru and Sasori, who were studying dragon vein energy, made a new breakthrough in this matter.

To be precise, some unexpected situations brought about new breakthroughs.
