Chapter 461 Reform or Revolution?

Kakashi stood up, walked to the map of the ninja world, and began to give a lecture to everyone in the room.

"In your view, how is our society structured?"

"The daimyo holds supreme power. Below him, nobles share administrative power, landowners control the economy, and the hidden village ninjas hold military power."

"Commoners can become ninjas, but they cannot become nobles or landowners."

“We ninjas are born to stand with the common people,” Kakashi said.

He waved his hand at the map on the wall, and the mind map he had just described appeared on the map, turning the map into his blackboard for lecturing.

Before anyone in the room could even marvel at Kakashi's "little trick" of changing the map, they were all engrossed in Kakashi's "views" and couldn't tear themselves away.

Konan and Nagato, who was far away outside Yugakure, were both deeply attracted by Kakashi's words and couldn't help but want to know what other amazing things Kakashi would say.

Has anyone here ever farmed?

"I've had it."

"Commoners do not own their own land; all land belongs to daimyo and landlords. In other words, daimyo are a higher class of landlords."

"Commoners need to rent farmland and farm tools in order to grow food and survive, while the landlords' rent and the daimyo's taxes take away 70 or 80 percent of the commoners' labor output, leaving them to live on the brink of poverty and to work forever for the daimyo and landlords."

“Landlords own the land, while daimyo also own the mountains, rivers, and lakes. The produce of the mountains and forests, as well as the produce of the rivers and lakes, all belong to the daimyo.”

"Now let's talk about our profession as ninjas."

"We sell our labor to take on missions in exchange for payment. This ranges from finding cats and dogs for the daimyo's wife to eliminating mountain bandits and rogue ninja."

"Without funding from the daimyo, the village cannot support hundreds of thousands of ninjas on its own."

Ninjas possess the power to change the world, yet the leaders of the various hidden villages are all decided by the powerless daimyo, which Kakashi finds somewhat ridiculous.

"Nobles are the retainers of the daimyo. As long as the daimyo is a daimyo, the nobles share the daimyo's power."

"They are also parasites clinging to our heads."

"They take away the vast majority of the labor output without having to engage in productive labor."

"Every now and then a Shinobi World War breaks out, which is a plan by the Daimyo to deplete our ninja's manpower. The Daimyo of the five great nations are tacitly aware of this, because our great hidden villages and ninjas are the greatest threat to their rule over the land."

"And we are unaware of it."

“Mutual hatred stems from artificially instigated hatred, and wars against other countries are seen as an outlet for that hatred.”

"Is it not?"

Kakashi stunned the others, leaving them speechless.

According to Kakashi Hatake's theory, this is indeed the case, and many problems can be explained this way.

Sometimes it's not just the daimyo who intentionally weakens the power of the hidden villages; there are also bloody struggles within the ninja community that weaken the ninja group itself.

"If you don't arm your mind, you'll end up like this, easily manipulated by others."

"Kakashi, do you have any ideas on how to solve this problem?" Raikage A asked.

"my thoughts?"

"I need to see how many people support my previous statements," Kakashi said.

The Sixth Hokage's gaze swept over everyone in the hall.

The representatives of the small country who felt Kakashi's gaze couldn't help but tremble.

It wasn't because Kakashi's idea was too terrifying, but because he was so excited that Pochi was shaking.

Since Kakashi took over as Hokage, he has never allowed Konoha ninjas to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, nor has he engaged in any international operations. He neither bullies small countries nor provokes neighboring major powers. Everyone thought that Kakashi Hatake, the Hokage, was a cowardly and timid fellow. Even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was somewhat dissatisfied with Kakashi, but Kakashi didn't care and focused on handling the internal affairs of the Land of Fire's ninja world.

Jiraiya was forcibly recalled by Kakashi, precisely to prevent him from causing trouble outside the Land of Fire.

Over the years, Konoha Village has maintained peaceful relations with the outside world.

"We, the people of Takigakure, support the Sixth Hokage!"

Takigakure Village was the first to express its opinion, and other small countries and villages followed suit.

"What are your thoughts, everyone from Amegakure?" Kakashi asked Konan.

"Our demands have been stated from the beginning: we want the war to end forever. We don't care about anything else. And you shouldn't interfere in the affairs of Amegakure either," Konan said coldly.

"How indifferent," Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but interject.

"Hey, big sister from Amegakure, I heard you're also Jiraiya-sensei's student? My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm also Jiraiya-sensei's student! How about we get along?"

"Well……"

Naruto's cheerful attitude made Konan frown.

What's up with this overly friendly guy?

"Kakashi, you've gone off-topic!" Onoki shouted. "We're here to discuss the volcanoes of the Land of Hot Springs, not to reform the social system!"

“Grandpa Onoki, it’s time for you to reform your outdated thinking. Don’t be a stubborn and conservative old-fashioned person,” Kakashi retorted.

"What? You!"

"I'm really sorry, but all I have in my head is rocks," Onoki said sarcastically.

"I think you should just give way to your granddaughter Kurotsuchi as soon as possible. The world should belong to us young people!" Kakashi said.

Onoki stared at the arrogant Kakashi with wide eyes, as if he were seeing Madara Uchiha from the first Five Kage Summit.

Kakashi displayed his power when they first met, and today he has shown his ambition even more.

"It's good to get back to the main topic."

"I have a way to deal with the massive amount of magma beneath the Land of Hot Water," Kakashi said.

"Huh?!" All six Paths of Pain turned to look at Kakashi at the same time.

Kakashi was once again being stared at intently by everyone in the hall, who seemed to ignore him.

Onoki is really wicked; he actually arranged a meeting of ninja world leaders on a volcano.

"I advise you not to act rashly," Pain said.

"Oh?" Kakashi looked at Pain's Rinnegan with great interest.

"I still suggest you come out and talk to me in your real body, instead of using someone else's body," Kakashi said.

“Even if you have a way to disable the six hundred billion explosive tags placed underground, we have other ways to trigger a volcanic eruption,” Pain told Kakashi.

"Is it your advantage that these special eyes are your only support?"

Before setting off, Jiraiya privately shared information with Kakashi.

Jiraiya was very surprised when he heard that Konan had become the leader of Amegakure. He was extremely confused as to why the person who became Amegakure was not Nagato, who had the Rinnegan, or Yahiko, who was kind-hearted, but instead the weakest one, Konan.

Jiraiya had told Kakashi about the information on his three disciples, Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato, and Kakashi knew that there might be Rinnegan power within Amegakure.
