Naruto, Uzumaki Menma, just wants to conquer the world

Anko also noticed this.

The more difficulties you create for him, the stronger he becomes and he even "grows early".

So, Hongdou chose to go the soft way...

Instill positive energy in him and change his cynical thinking.

With this in mind, Hongdou said to Mianma one day: "I'll take you out to play!"

Then, he took him out of Konoha and went traveling.

As a result, things got worse.

177 So, Shokuhou Misaki also chased him to this ninja world

Originally, Uzumaki Menma had never left the ninja village before he was twelve years old, so he had no actual experience of feeling the cruelty of the world.

Hongdou took him to travel for several months, allowing the six-year-old boy to experience these things in advance:

Take land rent as an example. "Half and half" is already a conscience. "Harvesting more than 120 shi of grain every year, but only paying 14 shi of wages to long-term workers" is the norm...

Six or seven hundred refugees in tattered clothes were hunted down by government soldiers. Blood splattered for forty or fifty miles and their cries shook the sky.

If this is the case for farmers in rural areas, are workers in cities any better off?

Twelve-year-old child laborers contracted tuberculosis or other diseases from heavy labor and poor working conditions, and the wages they received were barely enough for them to live...

Overwork, worsening lung disease, and no money for medical treatment led to death within a few days. This was the norm for workers.

The cold in the north, the heat in the south...

War, banditry, gangs, hunger, disease...

everywhere.

Menma Uzumaki is such a schizophrenic person.

He is a liar, a profiteer, and a despicable person who will selectively defraud people based on his likes and dislikes...

This poor man is too poor to cheat...

This guy's family must be very rich, so we have to find a way to sell him skunk skin as mink skin.

He is always self-righteous, talking nonsense and making meaningless jokes every day...

"Everyone listen to me: the Hokage would never want Uchiha to suffer like this (referring to being monitored and suspected), all because the privileged factions around him are hiding the truth from him!"

He is such a two-faced person, with a flexible stance, and a coward. He says "Eight Coves, One House, Seven Lives to Serve the Village", raises his right hand high to salute "Hey, Hokage", but what he actually thinks in his heart: It would be better for the ninja village that I have to die for to be destroyed.

It could even be said that he was a dirty man in his previous life and had played with countless women's bodies and minds.

But he just couldn't turn a blind eye to the situation.

He was just angry.

The rage washed away his rationality.

If I can't stand the darkness, I will become fire.

If I cannot become fire, I will become the ruler of darkness.

That's right...

The ruler of darkness.

In addition to instilling knowledge, common sense, ninja skills and tactics, the most important thing about Konoha Ninja School is ideological education.

Today, the Sandaime Hokage has been speaking at the podium for two hours.

"Where the leaves flutter, fire will burn, and the shadow of the fire will illuminate the village, and new leaves will sprout again."

"Love your companions as if they were your family."

"The strength of a ninja does not depend on the individual, but on the entire village."

“No matter how dark the world becomes, our faith will never waver.”

Menma was actually used to this kind of theoretical indoctrination.

The essence of the ninja village is a garrison that combines farming and warfare.

Isn’t this what the military emphasizes?

Discipline in obeying orders and following commands, absolute loyalty, and unity as strong as steel.

Even the Sandaime Hokage's theory originated from Uzumaki Menma:

Taking power by force may be a good way, but a better way is to take the hearts of the people...

The basic principle of propaganda is to repeat valid arguments over and over again, and lies must be spread again and again and made to sound believable...

The masses only have a partial understanding of abstract ideas, so their reactions are more often expressed in the emotional realm. Emotional propaganda needs to break free from the constraints of science and truth...

And so on.

The question is, regardless of one's stance, when a ninja talks to the Hokage about compensation, the Hokage should talk to the ninja about feelings.

In the past, Uzumaki Menma would have kept silent, or applauded the old Hokage and flattered him: "Well, well said!"

But the travel experience during those months changed his emotions.

The "spark of rebellion" was planted in his heart, and he couldn't suppress this feeling of contempt, muttering under his breath: "stank tones, fun of foolish talk."

However, this does not affect the admiration of Naruto by those students who are usually naughty.

He rationally analyzed the essence behind it: Why do ninjas love their families and ninja villages so much?

This is a very realistic problem.

Even the poorest ninja in Konoha would involuntarily puff out his chest when he thought of Konoha's wealth and life.

This is the current situation of Konoha ninja.

So what is the truth?

This is the fact!

This is the current situation!

The poorest ninjas in Konoha enjoy the invisible benefits of Konoha's medical resources, educational resources, and housing resources, and live an urbanized life.

Putting all that aside, their income is a hundred times that of self-employed farmers outside of Konoha.

A Genin could earn a monthly salary as a self-employed farmer by finding a cat for a noble. If a tyrannical noble hired the cat directly for 50,000 taels, that would be half a year's salary for a self-employed farmer outside.

A ninja family, even the smallest one, can buy a lot of land outside as long as the commissions from missions of two or three generations of ninjas are accumulated.

Go wherever there is a natural disaster and acquire land at extremely low prices. This is the way of a ninja.

Ninjas who lack patience would secretly create banditry, war and disasters, disrupt production, make the land barren and worthless, and then disguise themselves as merchants to buy it up.

This is the cornerstone that supports Konoha's seemingly bright and civilized life, and buried beneath the soil are corpses.

There are two types of people who love their village and their people.

The first type is unconscious love, which is out of inertia. Without complex thinking, they have never thought about the question "Why do they love the village and the tribe?" They only have the instinct that "it has always been like this, this is what should be done, and everyone does this."

The second type is conscious love. They know exactly what they are doing. They know exactly their own interests, their own position, and where they can maximize their own interests.

Ninjas are an educated group, and the latter are by no means a minority among the ninja community.

It is difficult for ordinary ninjas to live an atomic life outside...

Ninjas are passed down through families and through the master-apprentice system, and their business is to kill people.

Hatred is passed down from generation to generation. The family's life debt is borne by the family members, and the master's life debt is borne by the disciples. This is the burden of bloodline theory.

"The thief eats meat" and "the thief gets beaten" exist at the same time.

Ninjas have many enemies, and even an elite jonin like Zabuza cannot sleep well outside.

Organizations like families and ninja villages are their protection and reliance.

The dead are buried...

The ninja village and family gave meaning to their death in battle, and the respect from their companions and tribesmen satisfied their spiritual needs.

The family is taken care of by the Ninja Village and the clan...

Orphans and widows are bullied, which is a slap in the face of this clan and the clan’s mission.

And even the dumbest jonin understands this.

"Will of Fire" and "Treat fellow ninjas as family" are warm and sentimental slogans that may seem unreasonable to outsiders, but behind them lies a cold logic: Only by uniting as a ninja village can we maintain our current status.

There are only a few ninjas in the country, only tens of thousands of them.

There are traditional feudal aristocrats above and hundreds of millions of people below.

How can ninjas survive without unity? How can they eat people without unity?

In the words of Uzumaki Menma, "Unite and look forward, and work together for development."

“External expansion is a good way to ease internal conflicts.”

What is external expansion for the Konoha ninja?

Destroy the Kingdom of Wind?

Occupy the Water Kingdom?

neither.

Accumulating wealth through war and expanding various industries in the Land of Fire, this is what "external expansion" means to the Konoha Ninja.

If the ninjas of Konoha feel that their lives are not good, then let them go to other places. They often go out on missions and often go to other places.

Then I looked outside...

Are you stinking outsiders having such a bad life?

Are you still so barbaric?

We are all at home enjoying the air conditioning, and you are still starving?

The commissions I earn from just a few random tasks are more than what these outsiders can earn even if they work hard for three to five years.

Will you feel better soon?

Isn’t this a sense of superiority?

Isn’t there a sense of satisfaction in status?

Who can not love Konoha like this?

As the beneficiary, Uzumaki Menma only needs to shout empty slogans like "The ninja who wants to protect Konoha is the coolest" and then lie down and get paid. That's all he needs to do.

To some extent, Uzumaki Menma is the "traitor who betrayed the ninja class."

During these months, Shirai Kuroko couldn't see Menma and was very bored.

But she was able to concentrate, completed all the theoretical courses in the ninja school, and passed the Genin assessment.

She already had several experiences doing D-level missions.

That day, after the speech, the Sandaime Hokage returned to the office and summoned Shirai Kuroko to explain the situation to her:

In Kikyo Castle, not far from Konoha, which is usually the place where Konoha accommodates high-ranking noble guests, there lives a mysterious girl.

She was a noble princess of a certain country, with brilliant golden hair, very beautiful, and eyes sparkling like stars.

She paid a lot of money, equivalent to the commission of several S-level missions, and there were additional rewards later, which greatly alleviated the financial pressure on Konoha (the fact that the other party gave a lot of money was omitted by the cunning Third Hokage).

Her request was simple, she just wanted a ninja (child) about her age to play with her.

However, over the past few months, no one has met her needs.

All the young Genin in Konoha, without exception, were miserably teased by her.

The students from the ninja school who had been tried were even worse and they all came back crying.

So, send Shirai Kuroko over now.

So I have to play with the kids by myself? Heizi thought unhappily, with a reluctant look on his face.

However, in order to stay in Konoha, she accepted the order.

The Sandaime Hokage told Kuroko to be careful.
