Chapter 139 Akatsuki Organization Returns Home

"Chaoyang Town, what straight roads!" Even when he was in the sky, he saw three straight roads extending far out from outside the town. After landing, he discovered that the roads were paved entirely with gravel, which was not only flat but also very hard.

It might not even be able to break through with an A-rank ninjutsu.

"This is called a cement road; it's paved with a mixture of cement and gravel!" Ning Yuan didn't speak this time; it was Pharmacist Nonou who explained: "Our Ning Organization started the road construction project connecting all the famous villages two years ago. The first phase was to connect all the cities with this type of road, and the second phase is to connect all the towns with this type of road!"

"The Land of Fire?" Yahiko exclaimed in astonishment.

"What else would I do!" Yakushi Nonou nodded matter-of-factly.

"But building a road must cost a lot of money!" Yahiko looked shocked. He actually knew that, because they had also considered hiring someone to build a road connecting their territory, but when they heard the price, they gave up immediately.

It's too expensive; the Akatsuki organization simply can't afford to repair it.

"It really costs a lot of money!" Yakushi Nonou nodded. "But there are nobles everywhere in the Land of Fire. Confiscating just one would cost a fortune. Once we've confiscated all the nobles in the country, we'll have the money to repair the roads!"

"Huh?" Yahiko was completely dumbfounded: "Copy, copy from nobles? That's not a good idea!"

"What's wrong with that?" Yakushi Nonou retorted, "It's one thing that these nobles can make a fortune without doing anything, but they also bully and monopolize the market, levy exorbitant taxes, oppress the people, and arbitrarily raise prices to exploit them. Confiscating their property is too lenient for them. If our organization didn't have to hide itself, we would have already dragged them to the market and beheaded them!"

"Ah, this..." Yahiko remained silent, feeling that these people who shared similar ideals with him, let's call them his comrades, were a bit too radical.

But he also had a vague feeling that there was nothing wrong with doing this.

After all, although the Land of Rain had been purged by Hanzo, there were still landowners even if the nobles were gone, and Yahiko himself had been whipped before.

He didn't know what to say, so he could only continue listening.

On the contrary, Nagato and Konan were very excited. They weren't as kind as Yahiko, and they found the idea of ​​robbing the rich to help the poor very satisfying!

"By confiscating the nobles' property, we gained a large sum of money, which we could use to recruit commoners to build roads. Previously, the land, shops, mines, rivers, and even the wild animals in the forests of the Fire Kingdom were all controlled by the nobles. Commoners had virtually no place to stand; let alone having enough to eat and wear, even survival was a problem. They came to build roads, and we gave them money, so they could survive. They could then use that money to spend, and people in the clothing, food, and real estate businesses would gain customers. In this way, the entire commercial system was revitalized!"

"This is called 'work relief'!"

Yahiko blinked, not quite understanding, but it sounded really impressive.

"Once these people have money and buy houses, towns and cities will be built one after another. We will then establish schools in these towns to promote education. Those with chakra talent can train in chakra and learn ninjutsu, while those with scientific research talent can conduct scientific research. Even if there is only one student with chakra talent in a town each year, thousands of towns and cities across the country can recruit thousands of students every year. In three to five years, the strength of the Land of Fire will surpass the total strength of all other countries!"

"At the same time, our technology is also developing. A paper mill can produce millions of explosive tags a day, and an ironworks can produce hundreds of thousands of kunai shuriken a day. There are countless such factories throughout the country."

"This..." Yahiko's eyes widened, as if he were listening to something from heaven.

But he soon realized that this was not some mysterious book, but the truth!

Because right in front of him was a paper mill.

The paper mill is not large, but you can still see large rolls of paper being produced.

If these sheets of paper were used to print explosive tags instead of books, it could very well reach the level of several million sheets per day that Ning Yuan mentioned.

"What are you trying to do with all this?" Yahiko subconsciously thought of Hanzo. What Ning Yuan was doing now was so similar to what Hanzo was doing.

They are all promoting ninja education and mass-producing explosive tags.

Even a small country like Hanzang can start a war that affects the whole world, while Ningyuan is backed by the Land of Fire, which is more than ten times the size of the Land of Rain!

"Yahiko, what do you think is the best way to achieve world peace?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Of course, it's about mutual understanding between people."

"But you haven't convinced me!" Ning Yuan interrupted Yahiko, then pointed to Nagato and Konan behind Yahiko: "You can even ask them if they understand your thoughts. Even your closest friends can't understand you, so why do you think a stranger can?"

"How could that be!" Yahiko immediately turned his head: "Nagato, do you think my ideas are wrong?"

"Uh..." Nagato scratched his head. "Yahiko, of course I support you! How could the Akatsuki's ideals be wrong!"

"You hesitated! You're lying to me!" Yahiko broke down completely. "You've never really believed me, have you?!"

Nagato was speechless, but he couldn't refute it; he really didn't believe Yahiko's theory.

Otherwise, why would he have changed course so immediately after Yahiko's death?

Although he meant that Yahiko's death also proved the failure of his ideals.

But this statement itself is problematic. Who says that a person's ideas are wrong just because they are dead?

Ning Yuan has seen many examples of people dying for an ideal, only to have that ideal ultimately proven to be correct.

"Nagato, how do you think peace can be achieved?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Um, well, I'm not really sure either," Nagato shook her head. "I've never thought about that!"

This answer is probably true; Yahiko didn't really think before he died.

"Would you like to hear my opinion?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Okay!" Nagato nodded immediately.

On the contrary, Yahiko was still immersed in the sadness that even his classmates did not trust him.

But he can definitely hear it.

"There are many ways to achieve peace. The first way, I call it 'one superpower and many weak powers'!" Ning Yuan said. "If one country is so strong that all the other countries combined cannot defeat it, then as long as that country does not take the initiative to attack, the world will always be at peace!"

"How could that be!" Yahiko immediately objected. "If this country is so powerful, wouldn't it invade other countries?"

"Therefore, achieving this is quite demanding!!" Ning Yuan pointed to the ground: "Only the Land of Fire can do it!"

"Why?" Nagato asked.

"Because the Land of Fire is rich, with mountains, rivers, and plains, it lacks nothing. Unlike other countries, the Land of Wind is full of deserts, the Land of Earth is full of plateaus, the Land of Lightning is full of mountains, and the Land of Water is full of small islands. If any of those four countries had any strength, they would think about invading the Land of Fire. By the time they quelled their desire to invade, that would be something to do after they had taken over the Land of Fire."

"Only the Land of Fire, once it becomes powerful, chooses not to actively invade other countries, because those countries are too harsh and cold!"

Of course, Ning Yuan was just giving an example; these countries are suffering from cold and harsh conditions now, but the future is uncertain.

If they discover some kind of oil or rare earth deposit, you'll see how fast the Land of Fire's army can handle it.

Nagato was somewhat bewildered. Was that really the case?

He really didn't know, since he had never been to other countries, but Ning Yuan had no reason to lie to them!

So, is this really possible?

"The second peaceful method was the one Hashirama Senju tried back then: distributing the Tailed Beasts to various villages. Everyone knows how powerful the Tailed Beasts are; they are incredibly strong. Once they went to the battlefield, the resulting destruction would be unbearable for any village. Hashirama thought that this way, the villages might choose to cease hostilities because they couldn't afford the cost of war!" Ning Yuan said, "Of course, we all know that Hashirama's method failed!"

"So the Ning organization wants to do the first thing?" Yahiko finally raised his head.

"No!" Ning Yuan shook his head. "I want to choose the third option!"

"There's a third way?" Yahiko's eyes widened. "What is it?"

"Unification!"

"Unification?" Yahiko exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Nan also frowned.

As for Nagato, his hair was long, so his expression was unreadable.

"That's right, unification!" Ning Yuan nodded. "This isn't something I came up with on a whim; it's a method that has been proven successful throughout history!"

"History?" Yahiko looked blank. "Has anyone in history ever successfully unified the world?"

"The Goddess of the Rabbit, haven't you heard of her?" Ning Yuan asked in return.

"Huh?" Yahiko was taken aback, then nodded.

He had indeed heard of the Goddess of the Rabbit. It was a story known to everyone in the ninja world: the Goddess of the Rabbit brought peace to the world, but she destroyed it with her own hands.

but

"Isn't this a story?" Yahiko asked.

"This is certainly not a story!" Ning Yuan pointed to his eyes: "These eyes of mine are proof that our Hyuga clan are direct descendants of the Goddess of the Rabbit!"

Then, Ning Yuan pointed to Nagato behind Yahiko: "And Nagato, isn't your surname Uzumaki?"

"Huh?" Nagato was taken aback, then nodded. "How did you know?"

"Because your hair is the signature color of the Uzumaki clan!" Ning Yuan said. "There's also a Uzumaki clan member in Konoha with the same hair color as you. She's also a member of our Ning Organization. I'll introduce you two sometime!"

"The Uzumaki clan still exists in Konoha?" Nagato was taken aback at first, then became excited.

I'm not the last of the Uzumaki clan? I have clan members now?

"The Uzumaki clan are also direct descendants of the Goddess of the Rabbit!" Ning Yuan continued.

"Huh?" Yahiko was taken aback, then immediately turned to look at Nagato: "Nagato, you're a descendant of a god!"

"I...I don't know!" Nagato was somewhat bewildered; he really didn't know anything about it.

"Didn't you guys notice the big difference between Nagato and ordinary people?" Ning Yuan asked.

"There really is!" Yahiko nodded. "Nagato was born with all five elemental attributes, and his ninjutsu talent is enviable! We thought he was just an ordinary genius, but we were wrong..."

"His talent comes from the Uzumaki bloodline, and the power of the Uzumaki bloodline originates from the Goddess of the Rabbit!" Ning Yuan continued, "The era in which the Goddess of the Rabbit lived was far more chaotic than it is now. Not only were there countless small countries on the land, but also all sorts of gods and monsters wreaking havoc on the human world. The Goddess of the Rabbit almost wiped out those little gods and unified all the countries together. This was the first era of great peace in the ninja world!"

"I see!" Yahiko nodded. So unification really is an effective method?

"Furthermore, while Hashirama proved that distributing the Tailed Beasts wouldn't work, he also demonstrated the feasibility of unification from another perspective!" Ning Yuan said. "An example is the Senju and Uchiha clans; these two originally hostile clans immediately became peaceful after living in the same village!"

"The five ninja villages now can also be seen as five great ninja clans. If they were unified and lived in one village, peace would naturally follow!"

"After all, no matter how deep the hatred between villages is, can it be greater than the hatred between the Senju and Uchiha clans?"

"What grudge do the Senju and Uchiha clans have?" Yahiko asked curiously.

He's not a local, so he really didn't know.

"Let me put it this way!" Ning Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The two clans fought for a thousand years, from a thousand years ago to 44 years ago. Then, in the generation of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, their fathers perished together. Of Hashirama Senju's five younger brothers, only one survived. Of Madara Uchiha's four younger brothers, three died, all at the hands of the enemy! Madara Uchiha's last younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, also died at the hands of Hashirama Senju's brother!"

"Oh, this..." Yahiko exclaimed in surprise.

This hatred is truly immense!

This can bring peace? It seems that unification really is a way to achieve peace!

"My strategy is simple: first, strengthen the Land of Fire, then divide our forces into four groups to simultaneously attack the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water, and we'll settle things in one battle! Then the ninja world will be unified!"

I didn't mention small countries because there's no need to. How can we explain the strength of small countries?

One Kage-level character can take on an entire nation!

"Hiss!" Yahiko gasped. This idea was indeed very simple.

But its grandeur is astonishing!

But Yahiko felt that it was highly feasible.

After all, the Land of Fire has already popularized education and is also developing its industry on a large scale. It's not impossible for one country to fight against the other four countries!

"So, isn't my method much better than yours?" Ning Yuan asked.

"But doing this will kill a lot of people!" Yahiko thought for a moment and said hesitantly.

"If we don't do this, even more people will die!" Ning Yuan said calmly. "Unification means one generation dies; without unification, people die in every generation!"

Yahiko remained silent.

He didn't know how to answer.

After all, he's only in the third grade of elementary school.

It's already difficult enough for him to come up with a peace strategy on his own, but the strategy he came up with was full of flaws.

Ningyuan's strategy was not without flaws, after all, if the war of unification failed, he would become a shampoo boy.

But the strategy of unification itself is not problematic!

"Join us!" Ning Yuan patted Yahiko on the shoulder. "Our Ning Organization needs like-minded people to achieve our goals together!"

"I... I want to think about it some more." Although Ning Yuan's method was correct, Ya Yan had persisted for more than two years, and he couldn't just give up like that.

"Actually, there's another way to verify my method!" Ning Yuan said with a smile.

"What?" Yahiko looked up.

"Isn't the Land of Rain currently at war?" Ning Yuan asked with a smile. "Would unifying the Land of Rain bring peace?"

This appears to be a question, but it is actually a statement.

Because the answer to this question has already been found. Back when Hanzo was alive, wasn't the Land of Rain peaceful?

The examples from his own country became the final straw that broke the scales in Yahiko's mind.

"We, the Akatsuki, are willing to join the Ning Organization!" Yahiko earnestly extended his hand: "For the sake of unification!"

Ning Yuan nodded with a look of satisfaction and extended his hand: "For world peace!"

I think I've written about this route in one of my previous books.

However, at this point in time, this method is indeed the optimal route.

Next time I write about Naruto, I'll have to change the plot. I can't keep unifying it, otherwise it'll become too repetitive.
