My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 48 Premonition
This is such a sad world.

Endless wars and conflicts have completely changed all the three views of the people in this world.

Faced with three wars that swept the world in the past fifty years, the intensity was so strong that even children under the age of ten from the five most powerful countries in the world had to go to the battlefield. It was extremely tragic, and the small countries that were on the battlefields could only be even more miserable.

However, the people in the Naruto world did not reflect, did not protest, and no one tried to find a new path on this land.

Everyone accepted everything without any prior agreement, accepted the fighting without any order or humanity, and turned their butcher knives against others without hesitation.

It seemed as if everything he did was to go against the intention of the Six Paths Sage who taught chakra to humans.

For love and peace, use Chakra as a force to connect people.

[What, for love and peace, you want to connect with me? Sure, you can connect with my kunai first.]

Link laughed at the thought that suddenly popped into his head, but then he felt a little sad.

When the Sage of Six Paths was alive, the world was peaceful. After his death, it became an era of war among the ninja clans. The average age of both ninjas and civilians was only thirty years old.

The first Hokage used his overwhelming strength to cooperate with Uchiha Madara to establish Konoha Village, which caused other countries to follow suit and a brief peace came. After his death, there were successive world wars. Due to the gathering of various ninja villages, the intensity of the war was even more terrifying.

In the future, Naruto and Sasuke will still use their invincible power to intimidate the entire world in exchange for peace and development...

Ninjas will grow old, get sick and die. Even someone as powerful as the Six Paths Sage will still die. After the death of Naruto and Sasuke, will there be a more destructive war?
Link feels that based on history, he is inevitably a little pessimistic. If Infinite Tsukuyomi really exists and is not a lie of Black Zetsu, perhaps that would be the best destination for the Naruto world.

Even if a single ninja can rule the world, how can he change the ideas in everyone's mind?

The more powerful people are, the more they can do whatever they want and bring about the "peace" they want, which will only encourage the idea that the strong are respected and the desire to fight among humans.

People can hurt each other mercilessly for their desires and not feel ashamed of it, and take it for granted that it is the right thing to do. Even this absurd and naive moral value has become the tacit consensus of everyone. It is very normal for some mentally ill people to be born in such a world.

On the contrary, since there are many ninjas in Konoha Village who have high moral standards and worship the will of fire, it is normal for them to be ridiculed as naive.

The violent thoughts that Link had originally harbored as a result of killing several ronin who had proactively provoked him quickly and silently dissipated.

[I just want to live my own life well. I don’t want to be invincible. I want the world to turn according to my will. All I want is to live freely...]

The female ninja from the Sand Village who was looking at him with admiration accidentally noticed the faint trace of emotion on his face and couldn't help but sneer.

[As expected, you are a naive little Konoha brat, but that technique just now was from the Nara clan...]
-
Three hours later.

Nara Yushio followed the cursing Fire Nation tycoon out of the venue and quickly discovered that the people outside were looking at his three subordinates in a strange way. He glanced at the several ronin who were killed and could roughly guess what had happened.

"Teacher Yanshui, just now..." On the way back to the hotel, Iris quickly recounted what had just happened, and then said with great joy: "Boss, uh, Link was super cool just now!"

In fact, it is quite taboo to report matters to the Jonin without going through your direct superior, the Chunin. That is why Kasumi did not say anything. This big-mouthed guy is simply rash and does not think too much.

He just thought his boss was acting cool and wanted to show off to his elders. He is a pretty simple guy.

Although Link was thinking more, he was not dissatisfied or angry. He knew his two companions very well, so it was not surprising that they behaved like this. Nara Yui smiled and touched Iris's head, saying, "Pack up and prepare to return."

He looked at his proud student and said, "The acquisition failed. The price offered by Sand Village was too high." He shook his head, "It almost exceeded the actual value of the gold mine."

It is not difficult to understand that the more gold produced, the higher the price of gold can be raised.

Due to the weakening of the Sand Village after the war, the number of missions has plummeted, the desert environment is extremely barren, and coupled with the financial contraction of the Wind Kingdom, the village now relies on the gold sand business to survive.

They are willing to raise the price to a level that others simply cannot accept because there are other added values, which have little to do with the actual value of the gold mine.

"Don't we need to fight anymore?" Link couldn't help but ask.

He was already prepared to fight with others for the plunder, but he didn't expect it to end so poorly.

"No." Nara Yano shook his head, "The Sand Village is our ally."

Does that mean that if it falls into the hands of others, they will have to fight to solve the problem? The Rain Country represented by the Hidden Rain Village is also nominally an ally of the Fire Country. There are also many merchants from other areas of the Grass Country and the River Country, who are all allies of the Fire Country...

Link was silent for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more.

Even in Konoha Village, cruelty is still the underlying tone of the Naruto world. Strength is everything. No matter how weak the Sand Village is, it is much stronger than the Rain Village, the Grass Village and the like.

Then again, it's just a B-level mission. If they really want to fight with the Sand Village to snatch it, it will definitely be more than just a B-level mission.

That would be considered a [mission concerning the direction of the ninja village and the country], which is a true A-level mission.

It is even possible that it could be upgraded to S-rank due to the importance that Sand Village places on gold mines.

It is limited to commercial disputes between businessmen and does not intend to actually use force to seize the gold mine, so it is classified as a B-level task.

In other words, the merchants from the Fire Nation just came here to go through the motions and see if they could get a bargain. No one thought they could get this gold mine at all.

After realizing this, Link felt relieved.

[Speaking of which, these wealthy businessmen are really rich. They just came here to join in the fun, but they spent hundreds of thousands of taels...]

Just hiring the ninjas would cost 150,000 taels, and with that, the samurai and the people who were accompanying them, as well as all the various expenses along the way, the total would be around 200,000 or 300,000 taels.

Nara Yushio didn't say anything more. As usual, he stayed within five meters of the Fire Country businessman and kept watch over the surroundings.

Link and the other two also acted as usual, but he still had some strange premonitions in his heart -

This matter, or rather, the ownership of the gold mine, is probably not over yet.

[Akatsuki organization...hasn't made a move yet]
