Chapter 8 The Discipline of the Ninja
The battle is over.
However, the target of Shiba Kiyokawa and Konan's mission also died.
"Qinghe, you killed someone again." Xiao Nan landed gracefully after retracting her paper wings, and murmured absentmindedly.
But compared to the past, Xiao Nan's words now sound more like a simple statement than a rebuke.
She can no longer bring herself to say anything to blame him.
The gifts that Shiba Kiyokawa prepared for her were incredibly effective!
Compared to empty debates, a real-life example is much more likely to wake people up.
What have they gained from their years of insisting on mutual understanding between people? Nothing is more convincing than Ando on Earth.
"Why is this happening? Is the teacher's ideal really wrong?"
At this moment, the slits on Konan's body caused by the release of Paper Release had not yet disappeared, and she looked broken, like a beautiful woman with ice cracks.
Unfortunately, Shiba Kiyokawa did not soften his heart. After many days, he finally revealed his "fangs" and activated the strongest ninjutsu in the Naruto world - Talk-no-Jutsu!
"Your ideals may be beautiful, but they are ultimately too naive."
Mutual understanding between people can only be built between groups of people who share similar positions, experiences, and identities.
The reason why the Akatsuki organization has grown so rapidly in the past few years is that most of the people you come into contact with are war victims like you. With similar experiences and similar demands, it is easy for you to stick together for warmth.
But there is never just one type of person in this world.
While you are carrying heavy burdens, someone else is ensuring you enjoy peace and tranquility.
Shiba Kiyokawa spoke in a clear and melodious voice, easily touching Minami's heart.
"Some people live a peaceful and carefree life... Are you referring to those major ninja villages?"
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled and said, "Konan-nee, your perspective is too limited. You shouldn't always confine your vision to the ninja world."
As he spoke, he held up three fingers.
"In my view, the world is actually divided into three types of people: nobles and wealthy merchants, led by daimyo, ninjas, and ordinary people at the bottom who work like slaves."
Nobles and wealthy merchants exploited ordinary people to seize wealth, and then took a small portion of this wealth to offer to ninjas in exchange for the loyalty and service of the ninja villages. In the process, they also tirelessly disciplined the ninjas.
Sister Xiaonan, you must have also learned the rules of ninjas, right?
The so-called ironclad rules of the ninja world: everything comes first, those who cannot complete a mission are useless, and ninjas must not harm their clients in any form or for any reason, as long as the client has not provided false information.
Look! This is actually the most outstanding result of the nobles' discipline of ninjas over the past few decades!
Under this dog-training-like system of rules, ninjas can never raise their swords against nobles and wealthy merchants. On the contrary, as long as these nobles and wealthy merchants have money, they can enjoy the service of ninjas anytime and anywhere.
The one on the ground is the best example.
Shiba Kiyokawa took a few steps closer and kicked Ando's corpse with his toe.
"Even in a war-torn country like the Land of Rain, as long as he has money, he can hire ninjas to serve him at any time. Even if a large number of the local wandering ninjas are recruited by our Akatsuki organization, he can still get in touch with Iwagakure."
If we don't kill him today, he might be able to contact Sunagakure, Konoha, or even Kumogakure in the future.
Because that's how this world works, ninjas have to serve wealthy employers like them.
Ninjas only need to risk their lives and sacrifice their comrades to complete missions, while the employers who issue these commissions have many more things to consider in order to accumulate wealth.
Even if Xiao Nan didn't understand the significance of the formula at that moment, she could easily hear the strong sarcasm in Shiba Kiyokazu's tone.
She didn't know how to refute these words.
What Shiba Kiyokawa said completely surpassed her past understanding. Compared to the empty ideals that she, Yahiko, and Nagato inherited from Jiraiya, Shiba Kiyokawa's current theories can be described as a dimensional reduction attack.
And the output continues.
"So as long as the old rules of this world don't change, people like Ando will never be able to understand each other."
Those who benefit from the system have no reason to empathize with those who suffer under the rules.
And the ninjas can only tragically repeat the cyclical Ninja World Wars, because they have been disciplined to the point of completely losing the ability to question the rules!
When the ninja village is short of money, all they can think of is to start a war to seize mission quotas from other ninja villages. They never think that in every commissioned mission in the past, their efforts and rewards have never been equal!
Like these hidden rock hermits, they traveled thousands of miles to the Land of Rain, risking great danger to serve this merchant, Ando, yet the reward they would receive for this commission might be less than one percent of Ando's total wealth.
Finally, Shiba Kiyokawa looked at Konan and delivered the final blow!
"So, Sister Konan, do you understand now? This is the truth of this world! Peace throughout the ninja world cannot be achieved through childish mutual understanding. To achieve true peace, the only way is to break the rules and overthrow—the entire old world!"
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa's smile looked like a tempting devil to Konan. She wanted to escape, but found that she couldn't.
At that time, Shiba Kiyokawa may not have truly harbored the ambition to overthrow the entire ninja world, but that did not prevent him from making his promises as grand as possible.
As Lu Xun once said, human nature is always about compromise. If you say you want to open a window, most people will disagree, but if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will most likely agree to let you open a window.
If Shiba Kiyokawa were to directly say, "I think your ideals are too frivolous," Minami would most likely be very resistant.
But if he were to start by declaring his grand ambition to overthrow the entire ninja world, Konan might eventually realize that the idea of mutual understanding was indeed too naive.
It's time to bring a small but significant change to this corrupt ninja world!
Moreover, most of what he said was not made up, but rather combined with his real feelings over the past few months after his transmigration, and it was basically true!
He had a deep understanding and personal experience of the long-term discipline that ninjas underwent.
At that very moment, Shiba Kiyokawa was unaware that not far from their current location, on the border of the Land of Rain, a white-haired brat, currently suffering from the poison of ninja discipline, was quietly carrying out his infiltration mission.
Behind him, the victim's teammate was angrily complaining.
"That Kakashi guy is infuriating! What does he mean by 'the mission is more important than his comrades'? Just because he became a Chunin early gives him the right to spout such nonsense? He's despicable! I'll beat him to a pulp one of these days!"
