Chapter 201 My Will! Uncover the True Meaning of the Ninja World! The Hokage's office building. "At this time, a large number of puppets were found during the Loulan trip, but all of them had lost their power and seemed to have experienced a battle, the scale of which was at least at the shadow level... Moreover, the entire Loulan has been turned into a puppet city, and at the same time, traces of the Sand Ninja were discovered, so they did not go deep into it..." At this time, Uchiha Ye reported the action seriously. At the same time, after the sealing scroll was opened, more than a dozen puppets were revealed. This made the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was watching Uchiha Ye collecting intelligence, frown. "Hokage-sama, this kind of puppet has never been seen on the battlefield. It should be a new puppet hidden by the Sand Ninja." "These puppets are all exactly the same. They are not advanced, but they can be mass-produced..." While the two Anbu were inspecting the puppets, they kept reporting their findings, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression even more serious. "A puppet that can be mass-produced. It seems the Sand Ninja is determined!"
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the important information about Loulan this time with a look of worry on his face. "This mission was arduous, but the war has already begun. The Hidden Mist Village has dispatched more than 2,000 ninjas to land at the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools. The Sand Ninjas have launched a full-scale attack on the border. Other ninja villages have also..." The Third Hokage looked melancholy for the village, and finally looked at Uchiha Ye with his turbid eyes, revealing an encouraging look. "I know you just came back, but among the four reserve teams, only you and Danzo have completed the initial formation. Danzo is now leading the reserve team to the Rain Country... While guarding against small countries, we are also supporting the Sand Village and the Rock Village..." Listening to the words of the Third Hokage, Uchiha Ye couldn't help but sigh. Among the Konoha F4, Danzo was the only one fighting hard outside. The turmoil in the Rain Country caused by instigating Hanzo during the Third War was all his masterpiece. "I understand. For the village!" Uchiha Ye nodded with a firm expression, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen smile and nod with satisfaction. "Go down and rest first. The team needs to get used to each other. The village has received reliable intelligence that an elite ninja army from Kirigakure is preparing to land... here and will set off in three days!" "Yes!" Uchiha Ye took on the task without any hesitation. As Uchiha Ye left the Hokage's office and the door closed, a sense of fear suddenly appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. "Sand Ninja?" Sarutobi Hiruzen shifted his gaze to the newest puppet on the table and said in a deep voice: "Study this puppet immediately. Since the Sand Ninja is producing it in large quantities, it must be ready to be deployed on the battlefield." "Yes!" The two Anbu shouted respectfully in a deep voice, then took the puppet to the secret department for research. Although puppets that can be mass-produced are not that sophisticated, they are the most practical considering the losses on the battlefield. You can collect and disassemble damaged puppets at any time, and then reassemble them to participate in the battle. ……
Konoha. "Ye, the number of team members is almost ready. The family will provide a 17-man three-magatama jonin team, the Hyuga branch will have five elite chunins... three ordinary civilian jonin... and two chunins of the Aburame..." "There are currently ninety-eight members in the team, and including you and me there are exactly one hundred of us." Uchiha Mikoto slowly handed over the scrolls of the team members with a gentle smile that showed she was a good housekeeper. After Uchiha Ye took it, he confidently flipped through the information of each team member, including age, attributes, proficient ninjutsu, etc. As a commander, you not only need to be strong, but also need to understand the fighting style of team members, so that you can make reasonable allocations when performing tasks. "By the way, Ye, you have a good eye. The three people we brought back from the Land of Lightning last time, Mabui, Samui, and Yukito, are simply natural ninjas. They are geniuses even in our Konoha." "Yumujin?" After thinking of this girl, Uchiha Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled, enjoying Mikoto gently rubbing his forehead from behind to relax him. "This time Loulan...Kushina sealed a lot of the tailed beast's chakra, which can be used on Yukito, a girl who is naturally suitable to become a Jinchūriki." Originally, the wooden man sealed part of the Two-Tails' chakra, intending to train him as a pseudo-jinchūriki like the Fire Temple, but the effect was too slow. The large amount of Nine-Tails Chakra extracted this time can be used to cultivate the power of the Two-Tails in the body. "Yukito, I see. These three will soon become qualified ninjas, and I will personally lead the team to train them." Uchiha Mikoto led the team personally, which made Uchiha Ye smile. "There have been a lot of rumors in the village recently. Although most of them come from the third generation, there are also rumors from our big clans and civilian ninjas..." Listening to Mikoto's words, Uchiha Ye's eyes showed contempt. "It's just a trick of other ninja villages. They saw the black-white split in the Land of Lightning, so they wanted to create a conflict between the rich and the common ninja in Konoha. But they underestimated Konoha, and even the Third Hokage would not allow it during the current war." The contempt in his eyes was directed at the ignorance of the lower-class villagers of Konoha. This world pays attention to bloodline, and there are real differences among people. Moreover, the conflict between the rich and the common people is just an ordinary class conflict. Common people can also become ninjas and practice to become jonins, and their status is equally good. Thinking of this, Uchiha Ye slowly took out the red book in his hand and began to write on the draft paper. "Mikoto, have the team members meet up at the tavern tonight. We'll be on a mission in three days, so everyone needs to get to know each other. It's at the tavern in Senju." After hearing what Uchiha Ye said, Mikoto couldn't help but wonder: "Ye, this tavern is different. Ninjas from various families often gather here..." However, when she saw Uchiha Ye lowering his head and writing quickly, Uchiha Mikoto nodded slightly and smiled gently. She did not ask any more questions. As long as Ye makes a decision, she will carry it out to the end. As time passed, under the setting sun, Uchiha Mikoto enjoyed the rare time alone together. At the same time, her beautiful eyes looked at what Ye Shu wrote, and her eyes changed from surprise at the beginning to fascination in the end. Looking up and watching the time pass, Uchiha Ye narrowed his eyes and revealed a confident smile. "Mikoto, this is a special period of war. From today on, the police department will implement the policy of ninja supremacy in law and order management, and the major families and strong ninjas are at the top."
Mikoto's face changed after hearing this. She looked up at Uchiha Ye's confident and ambitious smile after he made the decision. She couldn't help but look solemn. The meaning is very clear! Uchiha Ye is sending out his own political signal through the police department, raising the status of ninjas and clearly dividing the ranks among the ninja community. "Night! What you wrote in the first issue..." At this time, Uchiha Mikoto also came back to her senses, with a solemn look on her face, while Uchiha Ye gently raised the book in his hand and chuckled: "Cooking oil over a raging fire can easily burn yourself; boiling a frog in warm water is the best way; one must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time." With a confident smile, Uchiha Ye did not implement his ideas immediately, but slowly released them to the outside world, starting with the police department. Now, if Uchiha Yami waved his arm, no Uchiha could resist the temptation of having a Hokage in the clan. Starting from the police department, to put it bluntly, when big families and ordinary ninjas commit crimes, the big families turn a blind eye and ordinary ninjas can only handle their affairs impartially. Likewise, when there is a dispute between civilians and ninjas, they side with the ninjas. Although it was not stated explicitly, the identity levels were clearly divided and gradually everyone accepted it. "During the war, even if some people oppose it, they will not stand up at this time, because the war still requires countless ninjas to sacrifice!" Uchiha Ye understood this better than anyone else. During the high-pressure war, the spirit of ninjas was prone to impulsiveness and trouble. If he doesn't know how to send out the signal of his political ideas and build his own direct lineage at this time, then he would be a fool. "Mikoto, do you think my ambition contains too much thought, even a little bold?" Uchiha Ye slowly handed the red book to Mikoto, who raised her head, and Mikoto smiled after hearing it. "Well, mainly because you didn't hide anything from me. I saw your draft. If it was the main text, it would be very obscure. Only by slowly reading it would I unconsciously agree or disagree with your point of view." As Uchiha Mikoto said this with a smile, she slowly took out the draft from the book. His thoughts were clearly marked on it, as well as some ideas for the rank system. "Mikoto, this world is a place where the strong prey on the weak, but the ninjas who possess great power have become tools. We should be high and mighty..." Uchiha Ye said very seriously that this world was really too distorted, so in the new issue he no longer hid his thoughts, although they were still very obscure, they would become bolder and bolder. He even planned to publish three consecutive issues, which would reveal his bold ideas and redefine the status of ninjas. This idea comes from the Brahmin high caste system in India, but it is of course just a reference. Powerful bloodline ninjas, mystic ninjas, and jonins should be given a higher status, followed by chunins and servants, and at the bottom are the common people. Unawakened bloodline ninjas are divided according to their strength just like ordinary ninjas. Similarly, ninjas also have the responsibility to maintain peace and stability in their homeland... Although it is somewhat unfair to civilians, it also raises the status of ninjas. The benefits brought are also huge. No one doesn't like a high position, especially a ninja who possesses enormous power. "I know this book will cause a huge stir in the ninja world as time goes by, but we have to understand one thing. Isn't what I wrote the truth?" Uchiha Ye showed a puzzled look, spread his hands and said frankly: "The so-called hierarchy already exists. If you look at the entire ninja world, ninjas are obviously one level higher than civilians, and ninjas are divided into lower, middle, and upper levels. Yet, they want to use the banner of equality... This is a hypocritical cover-up of the true meaning of the world. If this world is full of civilians, then my philosophy will naturally be the source of chaos." At this time, Uchiha Ye pointed at the book in Mikoto's hand and couldn't help shaking his head:
"The development of the ninja world has actually long told us a truth. This world is inherently unfair. The children of ninjas are almost always ninjas, but among the children of commoners, no matter how hard they try, only a few of them can eventually become ninjas." When he said this, Uchiha Ye stretched out his hand, pinched the nail of his little finger with his thumb, and explained in a serious manner how small the probability was. "Putting aside the legend of the Six Paths Sage, the ninja world has been developing for nearly a thousand years. During the Warring States Period, the bloodline families were the strongest in the ninja world, followed by the mystic families and ordinary ninja families. In the current era of ninja villages, everyone has to put on a hypocritical smile and talk about equality, but what is the reality? Which ninja village does not covet the power of blood inheritance? " At this time, Uchiha Ye slowly stood up, looked at the Hokage Rock under the setting sun, with a sacred light in his eyes, and slowly opened his arms, as if to embrace the whole person in his arms. "I just lifted the veil of hypocrisy from the ninja world, allowing everyone to recognize a reality. It also gave more people the motivation and ambition to climb up, to become ninjas, to become strong..." It is obviously an ambitious topic, but in Uchiha Ye's mouth, it seems like a philosophy. He gave the world a clear worldview: as long as one becomes a ninja and practices hard, one can realize the hope of changing one's destiny and transcending class. "Ye, I believe you will become the true god of the ninja world!" At this moment, Uchiha Ye bathed in the golden sunlight made Mikoto's eyes blurred, and at the same time, she became more convinced that Ye would be the one who changed the ninja world. Overt conspiracy! This is a naked conspiracy! In the past, the common people in the ninja world lived under the illusion woven by those in power. This book only slowly lifted the veil covering the ninja world. Just like the black and white split in the Land of Lightning, the nobles and high-ranking ninjas are almost all black, while the white ones are mostly at the bottom. It's just that the ninja village was established only a few decades ago, and the conflict in the new world has not yet begun. He just exposed it in advance. …… As the sun sets in the west and under the shadow of war, every ninja looks extremely solemn every time they receive a mission. This time their families all understand that perhaps this separation will be forever. At the same time, the four major ninja villages formed an alliance and launched a war against Konoha, which also caused the prestige of Konoha's third Hokage to plummet. Especially the families of those ninjas who died in the war began to resent the Third Hokage for provoking the war. In a tavern on Konoha's busiest street, ninjas came in one after another. "Asuma, we are not old enough to drink!" In a corner, the mature-looking Asuma had a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. Looking at the nagging Ebisu in front of him, he couldn't help but reveal a look of dissatisfaction. "Ebisu, the training has just ended. If you don't want to drink, you can leave, but if you dare to report me..." Both of them performed transformation techniques, so naturally they could not hide it from the people in the tavern, but they were all ninjas and everyone turned a blind eye to it, especially during the war. Ebisu was helpless and waved his hands, "How is that possible? How could I report it?" But Asuma Sarutobi's obviously dissatisfied look made him turn around helplessly and choose to go to another corner. After all, his parents had taught him a truth through words and deeds. They finally caught up with the Third Hokage's car, and they had to show absolute loyalty. "Hey, why are there so many people here today?" "That's right. There are more than a dozen Uchiha jonin here. It's not often that this group of Uchiha come to this tavern." As night fell, the pub, which was usually only half full, was now more than 80% full.
“Shh, don’t you see that these people are members of Lord Ye’s reserve team? It looks like they’re going to have a party here tonight.” There were many ninjas in the tavern. After hearing the whispers, Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but look up to take a look, then lowered his head and started drinking alone at such a young age.
