Konoha’s 50 Years

The water on the ground had reached his ankles.

The sound of innumerable raindrops and innumerable ripples emerges from the water like mysterious murmurs.

Five minutes passed, and Uchiha Chen neither moved nor spoke. He sat on a tree trunk, gazing at the landscape obscured by heavy cumulus clouds.

Next to him, Minato sat quietly, waiting. He felt his heart pounding. What do your friends think after listening to their thoughts?

Minato's previous wish was to become Hokage and protect all his companions, and it still remains the same.

Only after experiencing the cruelty of death, he was full of doubts about this war. At this time, Minato was thinking more about realizing the peace of the entire ninja world.

After Minato conveyed this meaning, his heavy heart began to feel relieved. He expressed all his doubts. In his opinion, Uchiha Chen is definitely his good teacher and friend. They can always figure out a way.

"Chen?" After a while, Minato broke the silence.

Uchiha Chen slowly returned to reality from his thoughts. He turned to look at the water gate.

"Minato," his tone was very serious, "your doubts are normal, and even most ninjas have doubts about this war. We fought thousands of miles away and invaded the country of rain. What is it for?"

"Of course the village is not for peace, it's just a synonym for covering up interests." Uchiha Chen sighed.

"In recent years, the economic development of various countries has been unbalanced, and the forces of ninja villages and martial arts have risen in various countries. Therefore, we must fight against other big countries to protect our own country's interests. Otherwise, the country, the village, and the villagers will suffer. "

Uchiha Chen stared at Minato's eyes.

"But after the war, people's livelihood will be degraded, and there will be starving prisoners everywhere... After countless wars, only endless pain is left, so the ninja world will become like this.

In the process, none of us was innocent. "

"Then you mean, peace...isn't possible?" Minato asked, frowning.

"No, no, in order to achieve this goal, we must face a mountain of problems. Then for us, the first question will still be what is peace."

Uchiha Chen continued, "I can imagine that a ninja can give a thousand kinds of answers."

He looked at the water gate. "So I want to hear your opinion."

My point of view? Minato glanced at him involuntarily.

Then he thought about it and said, "I think there will come a time when people will truly understand each other, and then we can achieve peace."

Uchiha shook his head, this is a typical Jiraiya-style answer, pinning his hopes on the self-awakening of human beings. He could understand the utopian mentality, but decided he wouldn't agree with it.

"Minato, I can tell you that the ninja world is sick." Uchiha Chen strengthened his tone, "Since it is sick, you don't want to treat it, but you want to let it heal itself, do you think it's possible?"

Minato was speechless, feeling that Chen was right. Teacher Jiraiya's thought, even he felt too naive.

Uchiha Chen continued, "In fact, the first Hokage also saw this. In order to cure the disease of the ninja world, he established a system of one country and one village, thus ending the troubled times.

However, the end of the troubled times did not make the Ninja world better. Instead, the scale of the war became unprecedented, and more people died at one time. So I think the original Hokage failed. "

Minato was dumbfounded by Uchiha's words. "What did you say?"

"Minato, think carefully about whether this is the case. The original melee between families has since turned into a war between countries, and the scope of the war has become even wider... We have simply returned to the original point."

"From a certain point of view, don't you think the original Hokage was actually a failure?"

At this time, a huge wave was set off in Minato's heart. From childhood to adulthood, all the propaganda I came into contact with were all praising the first generation of men who ended troubled times.

He never thought that the original Hokage-sama might fail.

However, having experienced this war, he could not refute what Chen said. The first generation hoped for peace, but peace did not really come.

Chen, Shengshu, Mikoto, Kushina, these friends around him, including himself, are all war orphans!

The tragedy that happened in the past is still going on. Maybe, in the future, his child will also be an orphan.

For a while, the air was a little silent.

Uchiha Chen smiled at Minato, and said, "You didn't expect me to say such a thing, did you?"

Minato shook his head, "Actually, what you said makes sense."

"Yeah, because these are all real. We live in such a vortex, knowing the past, we can predict the future. The first and second ninja wars have already occurred, the same third, fourth and even more The war will not stop.

If the condition of the ninja world is allowed to continue like this, it will only get worse. As long as the village is still there, people will fall into strife again, so... the war will never end. "Uchiha Chen raised his head and stared at Minato.

Minato did not speak, but fell into contemplation. "Then you think we should destroy the other villages?"

"Not to destroy," Uchiha replied, "but to unite."

"The first Hokage united other families and established a one-country, one-village system, thus quelling the war in the country of fire.

And we only need to unite with other villages, establish a new alliance, and re-establish the order of the ninja world, then we can get real peace. What do you think, Watergate? "

His words seemed to stay in the air for a long time.

Uchiha Chen has been closely watching Minato's expression changes throughout the narration. Watergate was still a ten-year-old, and his various emotional changes were still evident.

Shocked at first, horrified beyond words. Finally... slowly start thinking.

Watergate also realized that it was only a matter of time before the next war went on. The fact that the first generation united other families to end the troubled times obviously touched the depths of his personal heart.

"But...you have to know...it's difficult." Minato swallowed, "This is much more difficult than the situation faced by the original Hokage-sama."

"Yes, the relationship between village and village is very delicate...like a house made of cards. The more adjustments we make, the more likely it is that we accidentally get a card wrong and cause the whole structure to collapse. "Uchiha Chen nodded.

"Yeah, during this period, there are all kinds of rebellion and small countries." Minato added. "These forces are lurking in the dark, staring at the five major countries."

"So we need to break all the strengths. Strength is the most important thing! On this basis, we will break the state between the various villages and overthrow them all." Uchiha Chen said.

In his opinion, the so-called peace after the Fourth Ninja World War is just a passing glance, a superficial brother.

When the generation that has experienced the war grows old, when the new gods of the ninja world, Naruto and Sasuke pass away, the war between the five kingdoms will explode again sooner or later. Only fusion can avoid all this.

Uchiha looked up at Minato. "Watergate, in order to realize this wish, I need your help."

"Me?" Minato was a little unsure. "My strength is too weak, and the help I can provide may not be too much."

"There is no such thing. With your talent, the future must be immeasurable." Uchiha replied.

From his point of view, if he wants to do this, he must need the help of those around him. A person, no matter how strong, can only fail if he is not supported. After all, you cannot rule the world alone. Madara's strength is strong enough, but before leaving the village, he can't take the Uchiha clan with him.

"Of course there is one more point that must be remembered. Until we have enough strength, we can only pretend to be simple-minded, try not to be people who follow the crowd, and protect those we can protect." Uchiha Chen said solemnly .

"Well, I understand." Minato nodded. He also knows that this kind of thing must not be known to the top of the village.

Unless...they become the top of Konoha.

"Trust me, we will succeed." Uchiha Chen stretched out his hand and held Minato's hand.

"Also, you are welcome to join the first shift."
