Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Naruto's rebuttal came to an abrupt halt once again.

Oh right, what's the reason for not going to war with a daimyo? If I had to give a reason, it seems like the only one I could say is, "Because they are daimyo, the supreme daimyo."

But is that a valid reason?

Why can't a daimyo go to war? What is the source of a daimyo's sense of superiority?

He immediately got stuck while thinking about it, because he really couldn't say anything.

After a long pause, Naruto stammered, "Although I don't know why the daimyo is so revered, no matter what, starting a war is absolutely wrong. It's wrong, regardless of whether the one being waged war is a daimyo or not!"

Bruce laughed. "Then let me ask you, was the action of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi and the First Hokage of Konoha, in establishing Konoha correct?"

"Of course!" Naruto replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Bruce immediately threw out another stack of documents.

That document contains information about the many other opponents that Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha killed along the way in order to implement the ninja village system. Although the information is incomplete, it is there, and that is enough.

Although Hashirama Senju was a kind-hearted illiterate man, he didn't have any vow of non-killing like Batman. In order to establish the ninja village, Hashirama Senju always tried to avoid war and killing, but he still killed some people.

"These people died because they opposed the ninja village system, which was actively promoted by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. In other words, they were the ones who actively sought out trouble, which is equivalent to them actively launching a war, and that's how Konoha was established."

Bruce stared coldly at the stunned Naruto, successfully advancing to the third step.

"You think it was right for Hashirama Senju to establish ninja villages, and that establishing ninja villages was a form of reform. He waged war for the sake of reform. Do you think that was right or wrong?"

"Or are you saying that what Hashirama Senju did was right, while what your best friend Sasuke did was wrong? Answer me!"

Click!

Naruto's ears rang, as if he heard the sound of a pebble falling off a cliff. He felt as if he were standing on the edge of a precipice, driven to the brink of despair.

If he insists that there's nothing wrong with what the First Hokage did, then he should believe that there's nothing wrong with what Sasuke did, and as a close friend, he should help Sasuke, who has nothing wrong with what he did.

However, if he changes his tune and says that the First Hokage had a problem, then his feelings for Konoha will begin to collapse from the ground up!

Chapter 245 Newcomers Join the Chat Group, Last Countdown!

The ninja world is truly a world that would drive modern people crazy.

The education here is extremely backward, the thinking is very skewed, and the values ​​and morals are very distorted.

According to the information Bruce has, none of the Sage of Six Paths, Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, or even the Third Hokage could be considered bad people.

The Sage of Six Paths, who possessed the original power of ninjas, did not choose to rule the world. Instead, he built canals and roads for the people and incidentally distributed his chakra throughout the world.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who possessed the power to single-handedly conquer the world during the Warring States period, did not choose to rule the world. Instead, they established ninja villages, allowing children who would otherwise have to go to war at the age of six to live peacefully until their teens.

Although the third generation was both incompetent and weak, many of his actions, while objectively utterly disastrous, were clearly motivated by a desire to maintain peace and prevent new wars. He was well-intentioned, but his efforts were utterly incompetent.

They were all kind-hearted people, but how come this world is still so rotten after thousands of years?

The root cause is actually very simple: from ancient times to the present, from top to bottom, every single person in the ninja world is illiterate!

sad.

After scouring the history of the ninja world, Bruce's biggest feeling was one of utter disappointment and frustration with illiterate people.

The Sage of Six Paths was neither evil nor ambitious, so he did not unify the world. But precisely because of this, the ninja world lost a huge opportunity for progress.

If he had ruled the world a thousand years ago, then although wars would certainly have broken out again after his death, they would have been much better than the ninja mercenaries of the past thousand years. The entire ninja world and all of humanity would have reached a consensus that everyone could be one, and there would have been much better self-identity and cultural identity.

Then ninjas would be treated as human beings, and their status and voice would be above that of ordinary daimyo.

In that case, the mindset of ninjas would evolve in a positive direction, and there might not be a beast like Uchiha Itachi who slaughtered his entire clan and didn't even spare the elderly or three-month-old babies.

"I, this..."

Naruto was completely clueless about what Batman was thinking.

Fortunately, Batman gradually unlocked his thinking ability; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to understand any of the reasons the other person was giving.

Even now, at the peak of his intelligence—a moment he's never experienced before—Naruto still only has a superficial understanding and finds it difficult to fully grasp the various logics involved.

He only understood one thing: the First Hokage launched a war to allow children to live to their teens in peace, killing many people in the process. This was probably the right thing to do. Therefore, launching a war and killing people for the sake of change was indeed the right thing to do.

So, should he side with Sasuke and Batman?

“But, this…” Naruto’s ingrained values ​​and the education he received in the ninja world still bound him. “Ninjas are already powerful enough. If we overthrow the daimyo, wouldn’t such powerful ninjas be able to do whatever they want?”

"funny!"

Bruce gave a deep, cold laugh in a husky voice, immediately steering the conversation back on track and forcing Naruto to follow his lead, "Wouldn't it be better to just turn everyone into a ninja!"

Bruce agrees with the view that superpowered individuals should not be ranked above ordinary people.

Just like in his own DC universe, he never thought of having superheroes like Clark or Barry overthrow the leadership of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and seize supreme power.

This is indeed because superpowered individuals already far surpass ordinary people in terms of power. Once they also have a higher status than ordinary people, it means there are no restrictions. They can easily become unscrupulous Celestial Dragons and eventually become reckless, losing their empathy for ordinary people.

Therefore, in the DC universe, Bruce will always ensure that the world's highest leader is an ordinary person. If Luthor ever becomes a superhuman, then he should be impeached and removed from office.

The problem is, are your ninja world and the DC world the same thing?

"I'm asking you, in the ninja world, is it true that anyone can extract chakra? Does being able to extract chakra make you a ninja? Even without any ninjutsu, doesn't that make you surpass ordinary people?"

Bruce slammed his fingertips on the table, making a sound of utter disappointment. "After overthrowing those high and mighty daimyo who have been drinking human blood for a thousand years, treating ordinary people harshly, and watching ninjas fight each other, why not just let everyone in the ninja world extract chakra from now on?"

The premise that superpowered individuals should not be superior to ordinary people is that ordinary people cannot easily and without barriers become superpowered individuals!

If everyone in your ninja world can extract chakra, then what's wrong with that? If everyone extracts chakra and everyone becomes a ninja, then all ordinary people are ninjas, and the truth is that ninjas are superior to ordinary people!

Extracting chakra from everyone doesn't mean making everyone learn ninjutsu or dedicate themselves to the path of ninja. You can force all civilians to extract chakra, test them, and then let them go back to farming. It doesn't take much effort and is easy to do.

Although ordinary people don't have ninjutsu, as long as they have chakra, they are the same kind of ninja. There's no need to worry that the ninjas who are in the highest position of power after overthrowing the daimyo will lose empathy for ordinary people. The powerful ninjas oppressing ordinary people and ninjas is just an internal event within the same species.

"what?"

Naruto let out a quack like a duck, and the CPU instantly overloaded and stopped responding.

Because all of Batman's previous words combined don't amount to such a simple yet profound statement.

Yeah, anyway, anyone in the ninja world can extract chakra, and if you have chakra, you're a ninja, so why worry about ninjas doing whatever they want to ordinary people?

Why do ninjas have to lower their status? Why can't they overthrow the daimyo? Why must a daimyo who has nothing to do with anything maintain his supreme position?

At this moment, a brand new window was opened for the illiterate Naruto.

He himself had no ambition whatsoever, and even after being told so much, he had no intention of overthrowing the daimyo. But a ninja should not covet the daimyo's mindset, and with a clang, he successfully broke free of his shackles.

"You, let me think, Uncle Batman, let me think properly, my head is so dizzy, so confused, so lightheaded, I can't breathe."

Naruto gasped and clutched his head. He had received so much information in such a short time that his head was about to explode. If he didn't catch his breath, this illiterate man really wouldn't be able to hold on!

Bruce nodded. He couldn't expect too much from an illiterate person. In fact, Naruto's ability to hold on this long was already the best he could hope for, and it almost exceeded his expectations.

The persuasion of Naruto progressed more smoothly than expected, probably because the lingering, unyielding power within Naruto's body was suppressed.

As it stands, that thing isn't a bad guy. It has no ill intentions towards Naruto, no possibility of possession, and it has long since lost its own subjective consciousness.

The problem is that the essence of that thing is [excessive kindness, kindness to the point of being pedantic]. It's so kind that it's too pedantic. If this kind of thing isn't suppressed, it will affect Naruto.

Even if Naruto understands many of the principles, he would still be too kind and only want to stop Sasuke from changing the ninja world.

Bruce made two glasses of water, handing one to Naruto and drinking the other himself.

He was calculating that Naruto was basically certain to side with Sasuke in the future. With his Batman-like help, as long as there was a well-planned strategy and no unforeseen events like the Sage of Six Paths, it shouldn't be difficult for Sasuke to spend time defeating the entire ninja world and thus bringing about change.

Many people will die during this period.

But there's no way around it. If the ninja world is allowed to fall into such a backward state, the number of deaths will be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions, more than the number of deaths during the revolution.

Bruce remained silent. He knew that Earth's system was not the most advanced, and that Earth's system could not be copied to the ninja world. Therefore, even after Sasuke's reforms, the ninja world would still be backward and would still be close to a feudal era.

But this was the best Sasuke could do with his help. Unless Sasuke could possess the power of Hashirama Senju or the Sage of Six Paths, he wouldn't be able to break through all laws with sheer force.

Once you reach that level of power, you don't need to worry about whether the reforms are radical or not. If anyone dares to stand up and oppose the reforms, saying they're too radical and will cause big trouble, Sasuke can just slap them all on the spot and kill them all.

With that level of power, it can also be converted into productivity. At least one person can be in charge of a country's worth of land and produce enough food for a country. There's no need to worry about being held back in these areas.

Sometimes, Bruce envied Ultraman's knowledge and wisdom, but at this moment, he was glad that he was a pure human being.

Although Kasa is knowledgeable and has seen many systems more advanced than those on Earth over thousands of years, he is bound by the principles of the Land of Light. Even if he came to the ninja world and saw such a backward and deviant system, he probably could not help, since this is an internal problem of the native civilization.

But he didn't have those concerns.

As Bruce was thinking about these things, he glanced into the chat group and was immediately struck by Sasuke’s apparent laughter as he covered his eyes with one hand and looked up at the sky!

[King of Stress Resistance]: "I did it! I did it! Hehehe, hahahahaha!"

[King of Resilience]: "Foolish Uchiha Itachi, I will never be afraid of him again, I will never be unable to beat him again, Mangekyou Sharingan, I have finally mastered the Strong Shadow Technique, hahaha!"

[King of Resilience]: "@Movie.Emperor, I'm now a force to be reckoned with in the entire ninja world. You can come anytime; it's safe and secure!"

Sigh, he was blinded by the beauty of the girl, and his thoughts were impossible to hide. What a foolish young man.

[Actor]: "Eh, really? Hmm, although I don't know just how powerful the Mangekyou Sharingan is, congratulations! You're really amazing, Sasuke!"

Sigh, she's so simple-minded, almost as dense as Naruto.

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Based on the previous description, he should be even stronger than Gojo-sensei before he was blessed by Mother Earth, right? Great, now Sasuke's fighting power has jumped to the second strongest in the group, congratulations!"

[Coward]: "Congratulations!"

[Pro-war faction]: "Congratulations, but are you sure you can beat Uchiha Itachi? @I am Batman, is this reliable?"

【I am Batman】: "Reliable. The fact that Sasuke can join the group means he has regained his senses. He set up this scheme through me and Orochimaru. His strength has definitely improved significantly. Congratulations!"

[King of Resilience]: "Stop! Don't congratulate me, Bruce. You've fooled me so badly, isn't that going too far!"

【I am Batman】: "Hey, you're mistaken. My intentions were good, and the result was good too. Besides, I didn't even film your embarrassing moments when you were furious. Where else can you find someone as good to you as I am? You can't repay kindness with enmity."

[King of Resilience]: "Putting aside the question of whether you repay kindness with enmity or not, wasn't Senior Kasa better to me than you were?"

[Pro-war faction]: "Me?"

Kasa was puzzled. Although he had indeed been showing concern for Sasuke in the group chat and had also hinted to others to take care of Sasuke, he had never been to Sasuke's world before. How could he compare to Bruce, who had already been there in person?

[King of Resilience]: "My eyes evolved because of you, senior! No, mentor, please accept me as your disciple!"

What did I do here? Is this still the same Uchiha Sasuke who always has a cold face? May I ask?

Bruce laughed at the sight. Ever since watching the match, Sasuke has been ambitious and focused on changing the world. He's probably thinking about becoming Kassadin's apprentice so they can get Kassadin to come and support him.

[Coward]: "Huh? You can actually become an apprentice? I want one too!"

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Hmph, to be honest, I was actually Uncle Kasa's first disciple, and also his last disciple."
