Pregnant Ability Transformation Terra

But it's not possible for Hyuga, as the population of Hyuga is not very large to begin with.

Even if they split up, they can hardly afford to die!

The Hyuga clan is divided into the main family and the branch family. The branch family is like a slave to the main family.

But if all the people who split up the family died, wouldn't this system of one family, two systems be meaningless? !

Not only the Hyuga clan, but some other clans also suffered heavy losses in the Rain Country War.

They quickly gathered together to form a peace faction, led by the Hyuga clan.

On the other side, there were the civilian ninjas... apart from the Uchiha, they gathered together to form the pro-war faction.

Ever since Uchiha Madara defected from Konoha and had a decisive battle with the First Hokage in the Valley of the End, and the First Hokage Hashirama Senju died shortly afterwards, Uchiha has not been well received in Konoha.

Especially the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama, some of his methods further aggravated the village's rejection of Uchiha.

Even if these civilian ninjas and some of the smaller ninja clans wanted to continue climbing the chaotic ladder of progress through war, they were unwilling to gather under the Uchiha clan, but to set up their own factions.

On the surface, the dispute between the pro-war and pro-peace factions is a dispute over ideas, but in reality, its core is a dispute over interests.

Those forces that cannot continue fighting and suffer more and more losses will naturally want to make peace.

As for those who were promoted and gained a lot of benefits because of the Rain Country War, they have become "addicted" to this way of risking their lives in exchange for their future.

In the past, many key positions within Konoha were firmly held by ninjas from the great ninja clans, and there was no hope of advancement.

This is normal. The Hidden Leaf Village was jointly established by some great ninja clans who did not want to fight each other anymore at the call of Hashirama Senju. Strictly speaking, they are the "founding fathers", so it is normal for them to have some preferential treatment.

But since the war began, they found that everything was different. The battlefield does not care about what connections you have or who your nephew is. All beings are equal under the kunai. Under the cold and cruel survival of the fittest, those civilian ninjas with certain abilities began to be reused.

The war has stopped and peace has come. Everyone is of course very happy as they no longer have to stand on the line between life and death.

But as peacetime returns, some wartime systems are slowly returning to normal.

These civilian ninjas who had gotten good jobs during the war found that everything around them was slowly returning to the state they were in the past when the great ninja clans controlled everything with one hand.

As for these civilian elites who fought their way out of the pile of dead bodies, the major ninja clans did not necessarily have to oppose them.

As long as those who are outstanding are willing to stand on the team, they are willing to absorb them.

But... I feel a little unwilling!

If more time had passed, perhaps everything would have transitioned smoothly, but now it has only been a few months since the end of the Rain Country War, and many ninjas still retain the fighting spirit and ruthlessness that they developed on the battlefield of the Rain Country!

At this moment, the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning is making some small moves, which makes them feel that this might be an opportunity to return everything to the situation they are more familiar with.

A survey shows that it takes only 30 days for a person to develop a habit.

What’s more, it’s been four years!

They are used to walking the tightrope between life and death, and they profit from it!

The cold calculation of interests and the enthusiasm for war, like water and fire, clashed violently in this room.

After each party expressed its own views and won over some "votes".

The voting session has begun.

Two wooden targets were set up in the room.

The jonin took out their kunai and flew their 'ballots' towards the targets according to their own positions.

Abstain?

Then don't throw the kunai.

Luo Cheng only had the right to attend, not the right to vote, so he just watched.

He saw that the advocates of war and those of peace had actually reached a delicate balance!

It wasn't until the last kunai flew through the air that the main candidate won by a very narrow margin.

...The four years of war have hurt too many people of Konoha.

If the target of Kumogakure this time was not a crucial Jinchūriki, who would have been slapped in the face by taking off his shoes, the peace faction might even win with a huge advantage.

When all parties expressed their opinions before, the words of the head of the Nara family won over many wavering centrists.

The specific content is roughly: don't forget, in addition to the Kingdom of Thunder, there is also the Kingdom of Earth watching nearby.

If we retreat today, will the Land of Earth think that Konoha is no longer viable and want to come and give it a try?

To cede five cities today, ten cities tomorrow, and then have a peaceful night's sleep, is this a long-term plan?

"Okay, now that we have decided to fight, let's discuss how to fight." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen pressed his hands together and gestured to those who still wanted to say something in favor of peace.

Indicated that he should respect the results of the vote.

As soon as this was mentioned, the pro-war faction, who had been very united just a moment ago, suddenly became a mess and said all kinds of things.

The reason they advocated war was not only because what the Nara clan leader said made sense, but also because Konoha could not retreat now and could not show signs of fatigue that would allow outsiders to see an opportunity to take advantage of.

They also want to take advantage of the war to gain benefits for themselves.

So they all talked about how important the department they were in was and how it should be developed as a priority.

and trying to fine-tune the strategic direction in a way that is beneficial to oneself.

The peace advocates just now also quietly delivered a speech of "conservative attack".

There were also ninjas who were dedicated to the public good and made suggestions, but their proposals were not amazing enough and made people feel that they were just rehashing the same old tune and making mediocre remarks.

In this regard, it is obviously not suitable for voting.

In this stage, normally, the ninjas would offer their strategies, and then the Hokage would select the appropriate one... For the sake of confidentiality, the Hokage would not say which strategic route he had chosen.

Of course, even if he was really chosen, the Hokage would not implement that strategy completely.

This is just a chance for everyone to brainstorm and fill in the gaps.

When it comes to the actual implementation, the Hokage will ask a more professional advisory department to work with other relevant parties to make revisions.

Then implement it.

but……

This messy scene, with no sign of even a discussion, completely exposes the ugly situation where everyone's selfishness prevails over the public interest!

Where is the Will of Fire? !

Looking at Luo Cheng who came to listen with an expressionless face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little embarrassed.

"Stop for a moment, I think you need to calm down!" The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and said in a loud and serious voice.

He could understand that they had just experienced four years of war, and the war was restarted within a few months. This had a huge impact on everyone. Ninjas are human beings, not machines, and they will lose their composure when faced with emergencies.

But, this is a bit too inappropriate!

As the Third Hokage finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

"I'll give you all ten minutes to calm down." After saying that, the Third Hokage left the room. They would not be able to relax until he left.

Before the Third Hokage left, he gestured in the direction of Luo Cheng, signaling him to follow.

Luo Cheng also left this boring meeting room.

The two walked forward, one in front and one behind, and no one spoke until they arrived at a meeting room not far from the Hokage Building.

Click.

The door was closed, and the Third Hokage sat on a chair in the reception room, looking a little tired.

And Luo Cheng waited quietly on the side.

Half a minute of silence.

The Third Hokage said, "Luo Cheng, what do you think about the matter with Kumogakure?"

He was a little curious about what answer the child would give.

Luo Cheng's answer was not long-winded. He just said one word: "Kill!"

……ah?

The Third Hokage's hand, which was about to take his pipe, paused.

Chapter 18 Luo Cheng's Strategy

Seeing the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stunned for a moment, Luo Cheng spoke up and briefly explained his detailed views on the Kumogakure incident.

"To put it bluntly, these continuous wars are caused by the uneven economic development of various countries. The Fire Nation, which occupies the most abundant resources in the ninja world and has the best economic development, is naturally the target of everyone's attack!"

"As long as the Fire Country uses a large amount of resources to harvest the entire ninja world and the situation that makes everyone suffer is not alleviated, even if the Cloud Village is solved, the Rock Village, the Mist Village, and various other challenges will come one after another."

Luo Cheng was the first to point out the problem.

"So in my opinion, this matter is best divided into two steps. The first step is to use terrible means to kill the prestige of Kumogakure and eliminate the covetousness of other countries towards the Land of Fire. Then, take advantage of this period of time to find a way to solve the survival dilemma of the various countries in the ninja world from the root!"

Then Luo Cheng talked to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen about his "Wood Release Food Industry Upgrading Plan".

War is an extension of politics...at least that's the case when there are no strong men like Uchiha Madara in the world.

There are two ways to stop this war. One is to kill all the countries on the planet until they have no strength to fight anymore.

Just like in the Second Shinobi World War, Sand Village and Amegakure were destroyed, in the Third Shinobi World War, Kumo Village and Iwagakure suffered heavy casualties, and Kirigakure self-destructed in the blood mist. The battle ended only when all the participating parties had no confidence to fight anymore.

Another direction is what Luo Cheng provided, which is to solve the problem from the root!

"..." After listening to Luo Cheng's story, Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Regarding the 'Wood Release Food Industry Upgrading Plan', since it was just an idea in the Rain Country at that time and there were no actual results, although the three ninjas knew Luo Cheng's vision for the future, they did not report it to the Third Hokage.

This is just like when your relative's child says, "I want to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University." When you meet him/her, the most you can say is, "You have great ambition."

But unless he really shows extraordinary talent and gets full marks in all the tests on the papers, and it is not the kind of ability that can get full marks, but the limit of the test paper is full marks, otherwise most people will not take it too seriously.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen soon followed the same pattern as the three ninjas. After being surprised by Luo Cheng's ideas, he did not continue to think deeply about them.

Not to mention whether this path is feasible, even if it is really feasible.

Considering the progress, it will take another ten or eight years for concrete results to appear. Compared with something so far away ten or eight years later, the current war with Kumogakure is more worthy of attention.

At this moment, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was more concerned about...

"You just said that you would use terrible means to eliminate the covetousness of Kumogakure and other hidden villages for Konoha. What means do you mean by this means?"

He is the Third Hokage of Konoha. He only needs to be responsible for Konoha. Compared with the survival of the entire ninja world, he needs to give priority to how to make Konoha survive!

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior of buying the casket and returning the pearl, Luo Cheng did not express any opinion at all, but just followed the words of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He told her about a senjutsu he had developed that could continuously charge up his energy, and said, "Orochimaru should be able to learn the sage mode soon. This senjutsu is not difficult to learn. If the two of us work together and charge up our energy long enough, we should be able to launch a very powerful attack."

"How strong is extremely strong?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

“The top Huahong Zhen Qianqian Hands… In terms of destructive power alone, it should be higher than that one.” Luo Cheng said naturally.

Rolling balls, the intensity of rolling with two people together and rolling by one person alone is completely different!

The moment he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened bigger than copper bells, and he almost dropped the pipe in his hand.

"……really?"

"really."

At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought a lot.

But Luo Cheng's next words brought him back from the fantasy of 'Two people destroying four countries version 2.0'.

"But if we want to achieve that extreme strength, Orochimaru and I will probably have to charge together for more than 24 hours without being interrupted."

what?

"So my plan is this..." Luo Cheng then talked about how he planned to use this ninjutsu to achieve the greatest results.

Simply put, it's the 'chicken game'.

The combined magic technique of Luo Cheng and Orochimaru has never been used before, and no one is prepared for it. Konoha can completely pass through the Land of Hot Springs and take a stroll around the border of Kumogakure to demonstrate the power of the magic technique and exert extreme pressure and strategic deterrence.

In this way, not only the Hidden Cloud Village, but also the Hidden Iwagakure and the Hidden Mist Village need to reconsider how much they will pay if they really go to war with Konoha.

As long as the ratio of input to output is not proportional, it will be difficult to actually start this war.

But just because it’s difficult to start a war doesn’t mean it’s safe. When they have accumulated enough strength they think is enough, they will start a war again!
