Naruto's Great Trick

Chapter 193 On Heroes

"Before coming here, I looked up some information about your village, so I must admit that the first generation chief of your village is a great man. Nadeshiko Village deserves my respect, so you don't have to worry that I will use force."

Feng Jian was kneeling beside a small table at this time. To be honest, he didn't like this practice, but the guest should follow the host's wishes, so he would not say it out loud to disgust others.

"You're welcome. As the hero who ended the Third Ninja World War, you deserve respect."

Village Chief Nadeshiko nodded slightly and said respectfully, but as soon as he said that, a hint of self-mockery appeared on the corner of Fengjian's mouth:

"The Third Shinobi World War? It was just a war caused by uneven distribution of benefits. The five great powers tacitly decided to place the battlefield in the small neighboring countries. Of course, this was also the purpose of the five great powers leaving the small countries behind, to end such a war, that's all."

After these words were spoken, everyone present seemed to be silent. Jiraiya's eyes condensed, and finally he sighed in his heart.

However, the people in Fushiko Village, because of their different positions and status, could not figure out Fengjian's thoughts and dared not speak rashly.

"But you still ended the war, didn't you? If you let the war continue, more innocent people would be involved, wouldn't they?"

Feng Jian was silent for a moment, shook his head, raised his glass to toast to the village chief Fushiko, and they both drank it down in one gulp. Then, Feng Jian's somewhat melancholy voice was heard:

"In my opinion, there are not many people in the history of the ninja world who are worthy of respect. Madara-sama is one, the first Hokage is half, and the first chief of your village is one. The rest are not worthy enough."

These light words sounded no less than thunder in everyone's ears!

Jiraiya would not have thought that in Kazama's heart, Uchiha Madara was more respectable than the First Hokage, and the people of Nadeshiko Village also did not expect that Kazama would say that their First Village Chief was more respectable than the First Hokage!

Even with the years of self-control of the ninjas present, they still couldn't help but have their pupils tremble, but their faces still had that calm expression.

Village chief Nadeshiko had a blank expression on her face, but she was thinking quickly in her heart - she really couldn't figure out Fukama's thoughts.

I thought it was Konoha, but it was denied. I thought it was an excuse, but the attitude of this young man didn't seem like it. I thought it was the plot of an ambitious person, but I saw the book again yesterday...

"I wouldn't dare compare myself to the First Hokage's achievements."

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Fengjian drank a glass of wine and shook his head:

"You should do things according to your ability. At the beginning, the first Hokage and Madara-sama were both talented and powerful enough. Madara-sama's defeat and letting go gave the first Hokage hope, and he thought he could copy it, so he left behind the mess of the five great nations—"

Feng Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of sharpness:

"But Madara-sama was willing to let it go because he had the same dream as the first generation. The two families had hundreds of years of grievances, and with the affiliated families, the establishment of the ninja village was a natural progression."

"The model of the five major ninja villages has reduced the scope of war compared to the Warring States period, keeping the war within an order and setting rules for the chaos of the Warring States period. This is the achievement of the first Hokage and Madara-sama."

Everyone was silent and listened quietly. They knew that there would be a sequel. They also wanted to know what this equally stunning and talented young man thought of the Ninja God.

"But, I don't understand what the first generation did after that."

"If he and Madara-sama join forces, the two of them can definitely unify the ninja world. With their overwhelming strength, they can definitely keep the casualties within a very small range."

Hearing this, Jiraiya finally couldn't help it and scolded:

"A war to destroy four ninja villages, Kazama! Do you know how many lives will be sacrificed in such a war?"

Feng Jian did not answer, but just looked at Jiraiya dimly, his eyes were like deep pools, staring at him intently, until Jiraiya was a little scared, then he spoke:

"Then, Brother Jiraiya, since the establishment of the five major ninja villages model, haven't many people died in the open and secret struggles among the five major countries?"

Jiraiya opened his mouth and was silent for a long time:

"Back then, Uchiha Madara let go of the hatred that the Uchiha clan had for the Senju clan, and the Senju clan also let go, and the affiliated clans of the two major clans also let go. I believe that one day, the five major nations will understand each other, and true peace will eventually come."

Jiraiya emphasized the words "true" and "authentic".

“But how many people will die in this process?”

Feng Jian said quietly, and Jiraiya fell silent. And Feng Jian did not pay any more attention to Jiraiya. This was something he had insisted on for many years, and it was not so easy to change.

"Unification, resettlement, and change are good practices. No one can deny the contributions of the first generation. His shortcoming is that he is too idealistic. I also believe that that era will eventually come. The five major ninja villages now are just like the Senju and Uchiha villages back then. Years of war will always give birth to people who hope for peace."

"For the sake of this peace, the first Hokage divided the tailed beasts equally to prevent one family from becoming too powerful and to balance the power between the ninja villages."

"But many more people will die in the process."

"Madara wanted to end it once and for all, but the first generation didn't want to. The difference in ideas eventually led the two to go their separate ways."

After finishing speaking, Feng Jian took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.

"And, your village's first chief truly reached her limit."

"He was born in an ordinary family, but he gained great strength through his own efforts. Later, he founded Nadeshiko Village with a group of female friends he met while traveling in the ninja world, specifically recruiting female ninjas."

"Every year, we send ninjas to travel around the ninja world, bringing back children who have lost their parents and relatives due to various changes, teaching them to become ninjas, and also bringing back homeless women."

"The existence of Nadeshiko Village has helped many people, so I think the first head of your village is really great. Although her strength is not as good as the first Hokage, she has done her best within her ability."

"How many people have been helped directly or indirectly by Nadeshiko Village over the past few decades?"

Even they themselves may not remember this number.

When the female ninjas of Nadeshiko Village go out, they will kill the bandits who commit crimes. When they meet their loved ones, they will hide their identities and start a family, which more or less protects some villages.

They would take in homeless girls and women, and when they grow up and earn money by taking on tasks, they would donate most of the money to the village to help more people.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, Fengjian had adjusted his mood. With a burning gaze, he said solemnly to the village chief Fushiko:

"So, I came here this time just to get your help."
