After defeating Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama did not stay in the world for long.

The two mountains that suppressed the ninja world disappeared.

After losing its absolute deterrent power, Konoha is still powerful but no longer invincible.

Countless Konoha ninjas are reminiscing about the time when Hashirama Senju was still around.

Many people do not understand what the Sage Body is, what the Sage Mode is, and what the Ashura Chakra reincarnation is.

In the opinion of some people, the reason why Hashirama Senju is so powerful is entirely because his Wood Release is too powerful!

So they wanted to replicate the Wood Release technique and create a second Senju Hashirama.

At that time, the environment in Konoha was relatively 'relaxed', and coupled with popular support, the 'Senju Hashirama Cell Transplantation Project' was launched.

And a large number of Konoha ninjas volunteered to become experimental subjects.

This was truly voluntary. After all, they had witnessed the god-like power of Hashirama Senju, and now an opportunity was placed before them. Those ninjas who had worked hard for more than a decade but had not made any progress, those who dreamed of reaching the top, and those who had other fantasies, all signed up enthusiastically.

But the result...

This experiment, although it cannot be said to be a serious blow to Konoha, at least it has damaged a lot of its vitality!

Konoha, which was already in a bad state after the death of the first Hokage, has become even worse!

All the people who participated in the experiment died suddenly due to the erosion of the power of Hashirama's cells. This result caused the Konoha high-ups to issue a ban, prohibiting anyone from starting research on Wood Release from now on!

...at least that's what it looks like on the surface.

Jiraiya thought that Luo Cheng was also attracted by the power of the first Hokage and did not know what happened in the past, so he began to explain the history of Konohagakure Village to Luo Cheng.

Although he had not been with Luo Cheng for too long, Jiraiya could see that Luo Cheng was a person somewhat similar to Orochimaru. Perhaps he thought that with his intelligence and wisdom, he could surpass his predecessors and really replicate the Wood Release Technique, but...

"Lord Jiraiya, I think you misunderstood." After listening to Jiraiya's explanation, Luo Cheng shook his head.

"The Wood Release that I want is not the Wood Release of the First Hokage!"

Luo Cheng looked at Jiraiya and said, "The reason why Konoha prohibits the research of Wood Release is because the cells of the First Generation are too dangerous, but my research does not require the cells of the First Generation."

"What I want to study is just that, the water, earth, and yang attribute composite bloodline ninjutsu."

Luo Cheng remembered that someone in his previous life had mentioned that Konohamaru's teammate, the little yellow-haired girl, could also use Wood Release. This proved that this thing could be learned and was not exclusive to those who had Hashirama's cells implanted... However, without the participation of the Sage Body and Ashura Chakra, its power would fall to the level of an ordinary bloodline like Ice Release.

"Lord Jiraiya, you also know why the Ninja World War broke out." As he spoke, Luo Cheng bent down and pulled out a broken weed next to a patch of dried black blood.

"When the imbalance in economic development reaches a certain level, people can't even afford to eat, let alone pay taxes. The country's tax economy collapses. If it weren't for the unique combination of the daimyo system and the ninja village system, I'm afraid that rebellions would have already occurred everywhere."

"This war has to be fought even if they don't want to!"

The power of chakra flowed in his hands, and the weeds that were damaged by the aftermath of the war began to grow slightly fuller. Luo Cheng stared at the weeds in his hands: "But if there is a kind of food crop in the world that is drought-resistant, cold-resistant, flood-resistant, disease-resistant, and pest-resistant, and is very easy to survive, and the amount that matures in one year can feed the world's population for ten years... then will wars still be so easy to start?"

War cannot be eliminated. As long as human beings have desires, the struggle between people will not stop.

But when the price of food is so low that even in the worst economic places, people can achieve food freedom.

The people's willingness for war will decrease.

After solving the problem of survival, people start wars, and the only reason left is pure struggle for interests and hatred.

And it would take a very long time for such things to accumulate to the point where war would have to be launched!

A war that used to break out every ten years may now only occur once every few decades!

Of course, the "punitive, predatory" wars of big countries against small countries will not stop because of this.

But the number of world-class wars between major powers will decrease.

"Step by step, we will first eliminate the wars that make it impossible for some people to survive due to limited resources and uneven distribution. Then, we will eliminate hatred and solve the problem of interest distribution. World peace will be right in front of us." Luo Cheng said something that he himself felt was nonsense.

But judging from the shining look in Jiraiya's eyes, he was obviously moved.

Ninja schools do not teach political courses. These things are either understood by your master after you graduate from the school and will teach you a little, or they are passed down from generation to generation in a large family.

From Luo Cheng's point of view, the political skills of successive Hokage could not be considered brilliant. Even he, who was not very familiar with politics, could see many problems with them.

They made many mistakes that too many people have made in Chinese history books, but they were not aware of it.

The ninja's brain, blessed by chakra, has a fast reaction speed and is very sophisticated when designing tactics, but when it comes to macro-strategies, they will make all kinds of fallacies due to their lack of knowledge.

In the end, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error!

This can be seen from the people in later generations who shouted "peace" and acted as fiercely as tigers, but ended up making the world worse and worse.

They don't understand what "using land to serve Qin is like carrying firewood to put out a fire. If the firewood is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished." They don't understand what productivity is, what the economic base determines the superstructure, and what the extraordinary power they use to fight in their hands means to a civilization.

They just continue their past path, collecting money and being used as a knife by others.

Life has been like this for thousands of years.

Sometimes when I want to do something, I end up making more mistakes because I don’t understand it.

And Luo Cheng wants to break this trajectory!

Start with this weed!

"So the reason you want to study Wood Release is..."

Luo Cheng looked at the weeds that began to break because they could not withstand the chakra. "Yes, Wood Release has the ability to promote plant growth. If you know about agriculture, Jiraiya, you should know that in the distant past, the various crops and fruits in the world were very unpalatable and the yield per mu was very low. It was generations of farmers who bred and domesticated them to make the food what it is today."

"And Wood Release can speed up this process, allowing the taming results that would take hundreds of years to be completed in just a few hundred days!"

"Even after adding the changes of chakra, food crops may also undergo many strange changes!"

Luo Cheng loosened his hand, and the weeds that had been broken into powder flew away in the wind: "Master Jiraiya, I want everyone in the world to have enough food to eat, so that no one will commit crimes or start wars just because they can't survive!"

Simple Wood Release can at most increase the food production in the Ninja World, and cannot reach the level that Luo Cheng mentioned.

After all, no matter how much grain is bred, there is a limit.

But Jiraiya and his gang of ninjas didn't understand.

Those who understand agriculture do not understand Chakra.

People who understand chakras don't study agriculture deeply enough.

At most, they know how to farm, but few of them understand the in-depth agricultural theories.

By then, I will move the deep structures of the crops on Terra that have been optimized to a somewhat terrifying level by the Power of Reproduction to the Ninja World. Even if only one or two of them can adapt to the environment of the Ninja World, it will be a miracle.

As long as he could produce the result first and then insist that this thing was the research result of Wood Release, Luo Cheng didn't believe that anyone would dig into this matter!

What? It doesn't conform to agricultural common sense?

Looking at these rice plants that have an annual yield of 6000 kilograms per mu, a nearly 30-fold increase in yield compared to the original, I ask you again, am I wrong, or is the book in your hand wrong? !

"Let everyone have enough food..." If Jiraiya's eyes just now were still slightly shining, now Jiraiya's eyes looked like he wanted to roast people!

But Orochimaru on the side poured cold water on him at this moment: "Let's not talk about whether the goal you mentioned can be achieved. Have you ever thought about how much impact your goal will have on all the people in the ninja world who make a living by farming... Cheap grain hurts farmers."

Although ninja schools do not teach politics, they do teach some common sense.

"If the price of food in the entire ninja world drops suddenly, a large number of people will no longer farm..."

“With the new crops, only a few people need to farm the land to feed everyone.”

"Then the large number of people leaving the land..." Although the ninja world has already seen the emergence of electricity, ancient computers and other equipment, the countries in the ninja world are still mainly agricultural civilizations, and industrialization has only been half completed. Basically, they rely on chakra rubbing to jump along the technology tree.

According to the normal development process of civilization, it will probably take another 40 to 50 years, during the Boruto era, for full industrialization to be implemented.

These populations...

These people are exactly Luo Cheng’s target!

This is also why he wanted to improve crops. He wanted to liberate the population from the land and let them do something more meaningful.

Do you really think he is a living saint who fights for world peace in another world?

Just like in Terra, he pulled everyone in Terra out of their original life trajectory and stuffed a bottle of holy healing into them.

Let them change from living for a living, working as wage earners every day and engaging in intrigues with political enemies, to living for evolution, practicing coupling power every day!

Let them become your own cultivation acceleration plug-in!

This is Luo Cheng’s purpose.

Konoha looks very big, but for Luo Cheng, let alone Konoha, even if the five hidden villages were added together, there would still be too few chakra practitioners!

He needs more people to build a prosperous civilization.

Reap the glory of civilization and build your own ladder to godhood!

Of course, we can’t say this openly.

On the surface, Luo Cheng and Orochimaru talked about the industrialization that has already begun to sprout in the ninja world.

He also said that these people who left the land would naturally have their new destinations and he and others didn't need to worry about them.

After discussing with Orochimaru for a few more sentences, Orochimaru's eyes changed when he looked at Luo Cheng. Originally, he just regarded Luo Cheng as a person with good talent who would become his capable assistant in the future, but now it seems...

"Okay." Orochimaru grabbed Jiraiya, who was a little fanatical and out of control because of the grand blueprint described by Luo Cheng.

He could understand that Jiraiya was a man of great empathy. During the four years of war, most ninjas cared about their lost companions, but Jiraiya cared more. Orochimaru had seen that at the beginning of the war, Jiraiya shed tears as he looked at the civilians of the Rain Country who were affected by the war, displaced, died of hunger and cold, and whose corpses were floating all over the ground.

As a Konoha ninja, he has his own responsibilities, and he chooses to carry out his tasks meticulously, but that doesn't mean that Jiraiya's heart is not touched.

"Rather than worrying about things in the future, let's be down-to-earth and focus more on the present," Orochimaru said.

"Only if we win this war can we have a future. If we can't deal with Hanzo the Salamander, and if the war drags on until the Land of Earth, Rock Village, and the Land of Lightning, Cloud Village, feel they have an opportunity to take advantage of it, then Konoha will be in danger."

As the commander of the battlefield in the Land of Rain, Orochimaru frequently communicates with the village and knows the situation there.

Konoha’s current endurance limit is to fight against another ninja village.

If the Kumogakure and Iwagakure come together, Konoha's war system will probably collapse!

The future described by Luo Cheng is great.

But greatness belongs only to the living.

Dead man, nothing!

Orochimaru's words were like the cold rain in the Land of Rain, extinguishing the fire in Jiraiya's pupils.

The fire in his heart did not go out, but the cold reality made him calm down.

Yes, the war is not over yet, it is a bit too early to say this.

Jiraiya looked at Luo Cheng. He actually didn't like this boy very much.

Because Luo Cheng is very similar to Orochimaru, he cannot understand him, and Jiraiya's intuition tells him that there is probably more hidden in Luo Cheng than in Orochimaru.

but now……

Jiraiya bent down and patted Luo Cheng's shoulder: "Boy, you must be extremely careful in the battle with Salamander Hanzo. The battle with him will not be as easy as today."

On the one hand, the Sand Village was unable to rush forward against the combination of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and on the other hand, Konoha was caught off guard and the Sand Village was unprepared and suffered a great loss.

However, the above two points are not true for Hanzo, the demigod of the ninja world!

"If anything goes wrong..." Jiraiya leaned over and looked into Luo Cheng's pupils.

"I will protect you even at the cost of my life!"

These were not just polite remarks. Jiraiya's determined eyes had already proved the weight of this hero's words!

Luo Cheng's characteristics do not match the prophecy made by the Great Toad Immortal, so he is not the child of destiny.

But Jiraiya feels that Luo Cheng is a person who can bring profound changes to the ninja world, a future possibility that is worth protecting with his life!

"I will protect my people myself." Orochimaru curled his lips.

Luo Cheng smiled and said nothing, but it seemed like he said a lot.

At the ruins of the Sand Village battlefield, three figures headed towards Konoha's headquarters. They were going to put an end to the war in the Rain Country!

Chapter 8 The Final War

Although the country is named after 'rain'.

But the people of the Rain Country do not like rain, not only because the incessant rain makes the environment of the Rain Country extremely humid, it is not something that can be described by the word "uncomfortable". After living in this environment for a long time, various diseases will appear.

In other words, ninjas with chakra can avoid this fate.

But the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village also don't like rain, especially Hanzo of the Salamander.

Although this rain curtain can bring more strategic advantages to them who are already accustomed to rainy days, it can also allow them to withstand the confrontation with the two big countries' hidden villages.
