Chapitre 237: Harsh Truth
The four of them silently walked down Mount Kikyo and headed towards Rain Country.
Uchiha Tunan felt that there were too many people here to talk about.
Nagato and Konan did not have any opinions and were just two silly little attendants.
As for Yahiko, who had always been cheerful and outgoing, he seemed to be a little concerned about Uchiha Tunan's identity and attitude. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
After all, he was used to being rejected by others in the past. It was really a little uncomfortable to suddenly meet someone with a good attitude.
Just like that, the four of them came to a small bridge.
Uchiha Tunan was the first to sit on the railing. He patted the railing with his hand and gestured for the three of them to sit up.
The three of them looked at each other. Yahikosmiled kindly at Uchiha Tunan and sat down.
Nagato and Konan also followed suit and sat on the railing, looking at Uchiha Tunan curiously.
The grass here was leisurely, and the river was gurgling under the bridge. The sound was like whispering, but also like a laughing stock.
The sunlight was like specks of gold, flickering on the surface of the river, mottled and jumping, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.
Uchiha Tunan saw that Yahiko kept smiling at him, but he did not say anything. He immediately prepared to start the conversation.
Regardless of that, he first came up to try to get closer to each other.
If the communication was smooth, then he would act according to the situation and see if he needed the brainwashing technique.
This exchange was naturally aimed at the long door with the Rinnegan.
If Uchiha Tunan's memory was correct, the original idea of Nagato was to make the world feel pain, and then because of fear of pain, they did not dare to start a war.
This idea was suppressed after knowing Yahiko. After Yahiko died, Nagato had this idea again.
Since that was the case, then let's go along with his idea.
But seeing Uchiha Tunan take off the gold-rimmed glasses, he sighed and gently wiped the lenses with his sleeves.
"Do you know why I am willing to communicate with you?"
The three of them shook their heads together.
They saw Uchiha Tunan staring at the glasses in his hand with a look of reminiscence on his face.
"When I was seven, I was still in the Ninja School.
My parents died on the battlefield of the last Ninja World War.
All of a sudden, I became an orphan and lived alone from then on."
As expected, the three of them looked at Uchiha Tunan with sympathy.
Yahiko frowned and said softly,
"I'm sorry for reminding you of a sad memory."
Uchiha Tunan smiled and squinted at the sun in the sky. He said with a relaxed face,
"It doesn't matter. I should... perhaps have forgotten the pain."
Yahiko nodded silently, but he thought that Uchiha Tunan was pretending to be relaxed. After all, they were also like this.
Yahiko took a deep breath and asked doubtfully,
"If that's the case, why don't you think of a way to stop the war?
You are so strong that you are more capable than us in doing this.
If there was no war, such a tragedy would not have happened again."
Uchiha Tunan shook his head in disappointment.
"War is unavoidable. Only when more people feel the pain of war will they cherish the value of peace."
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan glanced at Nagato from the corner of his eye.
But Nagato was completely dumbfounded. There was no reaction at all.
Uchiha Tunan secretly frowned in his heart.
There was no reaction at all... This guy's philosophy was not firm.
It seemed that he was not a idealist, but a man purely moved by his emotion.
That was right, if he was so rational, he would not be persuaded by Naruto.
It seemed that it was not the right time...
Uchiha Tunan quietly looked at Yahiko and Konan.
Emotions of humans are a difficult thing.
It would be too troublesome to interfere.
The only way was to take advantage of this opportunity. It seemed that after the war ended, he had to go back and talk to Danzo about the Akatsuki organization, so that he could start early.
In a few seconds, Uchiha Tunan had already made up his mind, and he no longer had any meaningless entanglement with them.
At this time, Yahiko had already opened his mouth to refute.
In fact, the reason for the war is because there are differences in opinions.
This can be discussed on the negotiation table.
Uchiha Tunan put on the gold-rimmed glasses, stared at Yahiko, and asked, "Which pre-war negotiations were successful?"
Yahiko was slightly startled, and then immediately explained,
"That's because no one put themselves in the other's shoes and considered it.
As long as everyone understands each other, the negotiation will be successful."
Uchiha Tunan smiled indifferently and said slowly,
"But everyone has their own thoughts. How can you let them understand others?
What's more, how do you know that everyone doesn't know the other party's difficulties?
I understand why the four countries want to attack the Fire Country."
Yahiko frowned and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why?"
Uchiha Tunan pushed up his glasses and began to explain,
"Because the population and resources are seriously uneven.
Let's change the meaning of your understanding.
For the time being, treat resources as food.
Take Wind Country as an example. After so many years of peace, the population has skyrocketed, and the food needed has also increased.
However, Wind Country does not have enough grain, while Fire Country has abundant grain. What should we do?"
Yahiko immediately said, "Fire Country can sell the excess grain to Wind Country."
Uchiha Tunan raised his eyebrows and found that Yahiko did not understand what he meant. He immediately explained,
"In resources therein wealth. You may not understand what I mean.
The Wind Nation is lacking in everything right now. There is no food or money to buy resource."
Yahiko was silent for a moment. He scratched his head in frustration. After thinking for a long time, he said weakly,
"If the Fire Country wants to avoid war, they can also give the extra grain to the Wind Country."
...
Only then did Uchiha Tunan realize that this guy in front of him was too naive.
How could such an adult say such naive words?
"On what basis?
Just like the food in my fields, I painstakingly grew it under the wind and sun every day.
I used my own labor to exchange for food and sold the extra food. I could also buy some decent clothes for my family.
If I were to give it away for no reason, then why would I work so hard next year? I might as well just plant the food that my family just had enough to eat.
In any case, it was useless to do more.
Once that was the case.
Next year, Wind Country would still be poor, and Fire Country would just be satisfied.
Then what should he do?"
"I..."
Uchiha Tunan's words instantly made Yahiko not know how to answer.
A qualified villain would definitely be able to suppress the masses in terms of speech.
Why?
Because villains were all ambitious and idealistic, and if they had something in their hearts, they could talk endlessly.
Those who only knew how to kill were not worthy of being called villains.
They could only be called pitiful worms who were tortured to madness by life and pain.
There were too many such pitiful worms in this world.
Uchiha Tunan glanced at Nagato and Konan who were confused and thought of sending them away.
He sighed heavily and patted Yahiko on the shoulder.
"I understand. We can't eat it as food."
Yahikol owered his head and gripped the corner of his clothes with both hands. He said in a deep voice,
"But don't you think that war is too cruel?"
With so many people dying, especially those commoners, there was no way they could avoid it."
The atmosphere became heavy. Nagato and Konan also lowered their heads, a sad expression on their faces.
How could Uchiha Tunan be affected by them? He immediately shouted,
"Wrong!
They can completely avoid it.
It's just that they are unwilling.
I know that you are all from the Rain Country.
The Rain Country has been in a state of war since the Warring States period.
If people are afraid of war, why don't they move out?
Haven't you thought about it?"
The three of them looked at each other, and then Yahiko looked at Uchiha Tunan solemnly and said,
"Because this is my hometown."
Uchiha Tunan sneered. He pointed his finger at the ground and said fiercely,
"Because this place is full of food, you can make it out by taking a gamble.
Have you read a book? Do you know that the population of the Rain Country has risen sharply at the end of the war?
Do you know how many civilians live in the Rain Country every year?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them asked in disbelief.
"Why? Aren't they afraid of death?"
Uchiha Tunan grabbed Yahiko by the collar and leaned his head closer.
"There is plenty of rain here, and the weather is warm.
Food was cooked three times a year, and there were many fish and shrimp in the river.
In the family, even if there was only one labor force, it could ensure that the whole family would not starve to death.
This kind of condition was too good.
For the civilians, this was simply heaven.
Dying in war was only a possibility.
But without food, one would die without a doubt.
Risk and opportunity coexisted, and this was a process of mutual gamble.
Obviously, for most people, the opportunity here was far greater than the risk."
It was the first time that Yahiko heard such logic. He felt that his worldview was about to collapse, and his pupils kept trembling.
"How can this be... This can't be true..."
Uchiha Tunan slammed Yahiko heavily onto the bridge.
Nagato and Konan quickly came down from the railing and helped Yahiko up.
Uchiha Tunan came down from the railing and looked down at the three of them.
"Let me tell you, there are many places without war.
Do you know that in the western region of the Wind Country, there has never been a war since the Warring States period?
But there is almost no one there.
Why?
Because there is a drought all year round, yellow sand filled the sky, people can't live.
Do you know how a large number of people died in the Wind Kingdom every year?
They ate sand to make themselves die.
When they died, their fingers were stuck in their mouths.
Because the sand was too dry, they couldn't swallow it, so they had to continuously stab it with their fingers.
They couldn't find the soil that they wanted to plant and water, which was pitiful."
"So... the meaning of war... is it just plunder..."
Yahiko's voice gradually weakened, and his face was lost.
Suddenly, Yahiko thought of something. He raised his head and said firmly,
"No, if the war is just for plundering.
and every time the Ninja World War was a victory for the Fire Country.
The other countries didn't get anything either, but they still survived. "
Uchiha Tunan chuckled and shook his head.
"Of course it's not just plundering. The truth behind this is more cruel than you think.
There were two people in the past, but only one person could eat food.
Now that one person died on the battlefield, wouldn't the food be enough?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them collapsed on the ground as if they were struck by lightning.
"How could this be..."
"How could they do this?"
"The purpose of the war is to let our companions die?"
.....
Uchiha Tunan slowly squatted down. He put his left hand on Konan's shoulder and his right hand on Nagato's shoulder. He leaned his head close to the three people and said in a low voice,
"This world is so cruel, and war is a necessary evil, natural selection is needed.
If there is no external war, internal strife will break out in the country.
Once the order is chaotic, this is much more terrible than war. That is the hell on earth.
Listen to my advice, read more books when you have time.
Don't just look at the results, think more about the reason.
Don't think too stupid of others.
Most of the group behavior was based on objective reasons.
It could only be dealt with from objective perspective, not by making them change their subjective ideas."
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan slowly got up and turned to walk in the direction of Kikyo Mountain.
"Lord Tunan!"
Yahiko roared loudly, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing heavily towards Uchiha Tunan.
"Since you know so much, then do you know how to change this world?"
Nagato and Konan saw this and knelt down without hesitation.
For the two of them, Yahiko's dream was their dream.
Uchiha Tunan turned his head and saw this scene. He felt pity in his heart.
If he replaced Yahiko and Nagato, Uchiha Tunan would be happy to continue chatting with them, even if he had to teach them some real skills.
As for now...
He might as well let Yahiko continue to be wrong.
A gentle smile appeared on Uchiha Tunan's face as he encouraged them,
"What you do is not completely meaningless.
A spark can start a prairie fire, and the strength of the group is infinite.
When more and more people love peace.
I believe that one day, there will be a person who will change the world on your side.
What you need to do is to attract more people who love peace.
You may not be able to be the savior, but you can be the one to discover the savior."
Hearing this, Yahiko's eyes lit up. He stood up and clenched his fists.
"I understand, I will do my best."
"Ding, obtained Yahiko's approval."
Uchiha Tunan nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Now, he definitely could not tell them the solution to the war. It was to control the population and increase productivity.
Once he told them, maybe the Akatsuki organization would turn into an agricultural organization. A large group of people would run to the harsh environment to explore, and even go to research hybrid rice.
In this way, how could they be afraid of a group of farmers?
Without the Akatsuki organization, who would collect tailed beasts, how could Kaguya come out?
Uchiha Tunan was not afraid of hard work, if the situation needed, he could rebel between justice and evil.
But on the surface, there had to be a good person and a bad person.
He had to be a good person.
A bad person could only be wronged by Nagato.
In short, after Uchiha Tunan found that Nagato could not be recognized by his ideals, he felt that he had to be a good person.
He immediately lost the will to communicate with the three of them.
After the war ended, Yahiko was killed by Hanzo and Danzo, and then he would think of a way to take advantage of the situation to make things simpler.
As the saying goes, every righteous person kills many dogs, yet their heart is always a scholar.
Looking at the substance through appearances, it removed the literal meaning of praise.
A person without enough knowledge and knowledge could only indulge in the world of emotions all day.
Because this was all his spiritual food.
Without spiritual food, people could not live.
Uchiha Tunan also did not want the three of them to listen to him and take time to read more books.
After all, it was easy to make use of people who were stupid.
