Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

After all, all of this was within their expectations, and the document in their hands was produced after careful consideration by the two of them and a lot of effort.

It is undeniable that peace in the ninja world is something that everyone is looking forward to. Only a very small number of warmongers would think of satisfying their personal desires through war.

The constant wars have really caused too much pain. Even a guy like Orochimaru, who has a heart as hard as a rock, has a certain aversion to war in his heart.

Of course, he used to hate war because of the deaths, but now he doesn't want the war to disturb his research.

Although the starting point has changed, the purpose is still the same, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to propose to Uchiha Zong to let Akatsuki go.

This matter was also a little secret between him and Uchiha Zong, but he didn't know that Uchiha Zong had this idea.

It's not even that the Uchiha clan had any intention to destroy the Akatsuki organization, they just wanted them to be the 'Amani Gou Oki'!

All I can say is that their ideas coincide with each other by coincidence.

However, it is indeed impossible for the Akatsuki organization to exist for a long time. It’s not that we look down on their strength, but no one can truly forget the erosion of time.

Orochimaru also started to seriously consider the future of Konoha based on the idea that "I am the Hokage now, so I should do what a Hokage should do."

And the conclusion he finally came to was that if he wanted peace in the ninja world, he had to either destroy other villages or maintain the current alliance.

It might not be difficult to destroy other villages. After all, they now have mastered the art of resurrection. With this art as a foundation, other villages simply cannot outlast them!

Even if the Sand Village has a way, even if they resurrect their first generation Kage, it may not be enough for Konoha to defeat them.

I'm afraid that by then Konoha will become 'Amajin Gouji', and then Sunagakure will reveal those resurrection techniques. Even if Konoha is not afraid at all, it will still be a little troublesome to deal with.

"In this case, why don't we use the power we have reasonably during this alliance, combine it with the promulgation of rules and laws, and then slowly change them?"

Orochimaru thought secretly in his heart, and then he told Uchiha Zong about his idea, which made Uchiha Zong a little surprised.

Orochimaru's intelligence should not be underestimated, and he had to admit that now seemed to be a very good opportunity to announce these things.

After all, the Four Kage Alliance has been together for some years, and the four major ninja villages in the ninja world have gone through a qualitative change in their attitude towards such an alliance, from resistance and discomfort in the beginning to becoming accustomed to it now.

Although to Konoha, these three families are just beggars. They came to our Fire Country to ask for money?

But I have been begging for so long that I have gotten used to it.

Moreover, because of the alliance with other villages, most ninjas have felt the favorable material conditions of Konoha and envy the living environment of the people of the Fire Nation.

Deep down, they really want to live a life like that of Konoha one day. After all, the Land of Fire is so wealthy.

They had the idea of ​​getting closer to Konoha, and Konoha had become accustomed to the existence of these people, and the external basic conditions had been established.

Then, they can also take some actions, such as now!

After some discussion between him and Uchiha Zong, it was actually Uchiha Zong who put forward his own ideas in front of his astonished eyes.

The first one is naturally the unified ninja uniforms and forehead protectors!

In this world, both civilians and ninjas actually share the same culture, history, and language.

The distinction between them is based on the major countries and major ninja villages, and ninja clothing and forehead protectors are a symbol of identity.

Since language, culture and history have saved Uchiha Zong a lot of things, he can naturally skip this step and take a more radical and direct approach.

That is naturally to redefine these ninjas in the name of the 'Four Shadow Alliance'!

And there's really nothing wrong with what he did, because in the original work, in order to cope with the Fourth Ninja World War, all the people in the village wore forehead protectors to show their determination.

Now they are still facing the threat from Akatsuki organization, so there is absolutely no problem for them to change like this!

As for the others, they are all serving the first idea, such as education, personnel mobility, business mobility, etc.

To put it bluntly, once these things are formed, a large amount of manpower and material resources will inevitably be transferred to Konoha, which is definitely not something other villages will agree to or allow!

Therefore, Konoha will also make some corresponding compensations, such as money and various resources.

In addition, once their idea is achieved, the power of the headquarters of the Four Shadow Alliance will probably be greatly enhanced.

Konoha will also make some concessions on how to distribute the cakes, at least so that others will not feel too disadvantaged.

This may seem okay, but the problem is that by doing so, Konoha will still have absolute advantage and benefit.

and……

"Hokage, isn't this an excessive idea?" After a while, Luo Sha stared at Orochimaru: "If you really do this, I'm afraid the Sand Village will really become your vassal!"

"Humph." Ohnoki also snorted coldly: "It is undeniable that this looks good, but you know the reality very well. I have to say that you are really ambitious."

"Hokage, are you trying to start a fight?" The Fourth Raikage looked unkind. He clenched his fists and said, "Do you really think we are fools? You have such a big appetite!"

After seeing the document, the three shadows all showed angry expressions. It was obvious that they were extremely angry at this moment.

The reason why he didn't attack immediately was that he was considering the alliance and also considering Uchiha Mune who was sitting next to him.

"Everyone, the highest leadership in the village is still Ying, and this will not change."

Although Uchiha Zong was not surprised to see this scene, he still spoke.

"I think no matter who has the ambition, they can't control such a huge ninja world. At that time, the governance of each place will still rely on others.

Therefore, in our opinion, each village has its own independence, but the Four Shadow Alliance is the coordinator so that the information of all villages can be better coordinated.

If you really want to say that it suffers, Konoha's contribution is probably the biggest, and we put forward this document just to make the ninja world better.

Otherwise, behind closed doors, who would be afraid of whom with Konoha's resources?

And this is just a first draft. There are many things that can be discussed. If we don’t discuss it, who knows what the final result will be?”

"That's right, everyone, what we're sitting here playing is essentially a game of mutual compromise."

Orochimaru's expression did not change at all. He smiled and slowly took over Uchiha Zong's words.

“And I can advise you that sometimes we don’t need to focus only on the current piece of cake.

Just as Zongjun said, we each still maintain our own characteristics, but this does not prevent us from making the cake bigger and then getting a bigger share of the cake.

Of course, this also depends on your specific ideas. If you really don't want to, then we in Konoha naturally don't care.

But everyone must remember that some things are short-term, such as our current alliance and the existence of Akatsuki.

Our alliance was forced to form because of the existence of Akatsuki, but we all know that this organization will inevitably collapse in the future.

And once it collapses, our alliance will probably fall apart as well.

By then, we will fall back into the old path of seeking foreign wars in order to break through our own development.

So, I have my current idea. Even if Akatsuki collapses, at least we are still together, and at least we can ensure that we can maintain peace in the future.

Everyone, you don't want your descendants to be forced into a vicious cycle of endless wars, unable to extricate themselves, right? "

……

The double act between Orochimaru and Uchiha Muneshi made Ohnoki and others fall into silence.

They all knew how ambitious these two people were, but they also had to admit one thing.

That is what these two people said, it really makes sense!

If the current interests are not considered, but the future development is focused, even if the model in this document is a prototype, it can indeed guarantee the emergence of peace.

After all, this document already involves too many practices of "self-identification".

And they had to admit that the current situation was really suitable for Konoha to do so.

In the governance process of each ninja village, since the ninja world has a very special relationship with the same history, culture and language, it is still somewhat difficult to achieve "self-identity".

Therefore, all the major ninja villages adopted the same method - creating an enemy and then stigmatizing the surrounding countries.

To create enemies is to create hatred. With the foundation of hatred, it is impossible for the two sides to have too deep contact, thus ensuring their own independence.

Stigmatizing neighboring countries, on the other hand, is to autonomously consolidate the spiritual strength of the group, thereby distinguishing between "you, me, and him."

After all, the most convenient way to shape the perception of 'who we are' is for 'us' to know 'who we are not'.

The entire ninja world is actually playing at this point, otherwise there wouldn't be so many countries, big and small, and even the five major ninja villages.

And now, the Akatsuki organization is placed there just as the 'enemy', doesn't this make it very helpful for Konoha to distinguish the relationship between 'us' and 'them'?

Moreover, even if Konoha didn't do it, this alliance has already provided a recognition of "us". After all, the benefits brought by this alliance are real.

Konoha is doing this to strengthen its awareness in this area. After all, they now have such good basic conditions here.

As long as we make a little effort and make everyone focus their cognition on this subject, then even if we come from different countries and villages, we are all "us".

In this way, won’t peace come?

But the problem is that the long-term development perspective is important, but the practical interests are equally important!

If all this really happens, the interests of the major villages will most likely be reshuffled, even though both the Uchiha clan and Orochimaru have said that the villages will maintain their own characteristics and will not be changed at will.

However, the presence of an alliance with long-term and stable power above the village is bound to cause some unknown shocks.

What's more, it is predictable that once this matter is confirmed, Konoha will definitely occupy the absolute dominant position at least for the time being!

Fortunately, Konoha did not seem to intend to make a decision all at once and force them to make one, but there was still room for everything.

"I can't make a decision directly. I need to discuss this matter with many people after returning to the village." Luo Sha finally spoke: "After all, this matter is of great importance."

"I can go back and tell you that I can temporarily agree to this."

The Fourth Raikage thought for a moment before he spoke in a muffled voice.

"It's just temporary. After all, Akatsuki is still here. I personally don't think this matter needs to be rushed. I even think that you, Konoha, are too ambitious.

But since you said this matter can be discussed, then the follow-up will depend on your sincerity, and whether it can succeed also depends on your ability. "

"I also need to go back and discuss this." Ohnoki's face was not looking good, but he finally nodded.

Listening to the words of these three people, both Uchiha Zong and Orochimaru could not help but nodded slightly.

Although there is no substantive content, how can such a big thing be finalized now?

After all, there are still many things here that have not been determined. What Uchiha Zong and Orochimaru have come up with is actually just a small framework.

They deliberately left a lot of things behind for use in subsequent negotiations.

Of course, they also knew very well that the reason why these three people compromised at this time was really simple.

On the one hand, people from Akatsuki are about to attack. Having seen the power of Akatsuki, they know very well that they cannot deal with Akatsuki alone.

The second is the strength of Konoha. Such a powerful force is simply not something they can contend with!

Since they are unable to fight back and are being pressured by the Akatsuki organization, and Konoha is relatively friendly, they plan to promote this matter through negotiation instead of just putting a kunai on your neck and telling you that you must do this.

So, it's not surprising that they made the current decision.

"Okay, then once we've dealt with the Akatsuki issue, we can talk about this in detail."

Orochimaru showed a satisfied smile, he had decided to raise the stakes and directly let the first and second generations show up to let these "stinking beggars" take a good look at Konoha's strengths!

"As for those people from the Hidden Mist Village, we in Konoha only want the Ice Clan, and you can distribute the others among yourselves."

"Konoha is so generous even though nothing has been accomplished. It seems that the Hokage is really full of confidence." Oonoki couldn't help but sneer.

He actually didn't want to agree at all, but the current situation forced him to do so, so he was still very unhappy inside.

"It should be said that we are confident that peace will remain in the future."

Uchiha Zong smiled slightly, and then he spoke slowly.

"One more thing, in this operation I hope that all participating troops will wear uniform forehead guards.

After all, we are fighting as an alliance, and using the forehead protectors from our respective villages doesn't seem to be a good idea, right?"

……

No one knows yet what the outcome of this meeting in Konoha will be.

But everyone knows that it is time for them to act. After all, Akatsuki doesn't have much time left for them, and they have too much preparation to make.

In particular, they had to pass the minutes of this negotiation back to the village and to the people they trusted most so that they could make some preliminary preparations.

Even Ohnoki is doing the same thing. After all, if you are prepared, you won't have to worry about the situation developing beyond your expectations.

Of course, whether this negotiation can go smoothly depends on many factors, such as Konoha's performance in all aspects when facing the Akatsuki organization this time.

Konoha was also not resting. On the one hand, it was rushing to make the forehead protectors needed for this operation, and on the other hand, it was also assembling troops and dealing with logistical supplies.

The Uchiha clan's proposal to use a unified forehead protector did not encounter any opposition. After all, they were also part of the Four Kage Alliance, and it was normal for some changes to be made in the name of this alliance.

Even though they knew that this was probably a test from Konoha, the most urgent priority was to deal with those guys from Akatsuki.

Besides, a test is just a test. Without substantive clarification of these things, every ninja still has his own affiliation.

With the coordinated efforts of all parties, all the troops had assembled in the Fire Nation in just three days!
