Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 140: The Root of Chaos

"Tell me the reason."

Konan said expressionlessly.

But it didn't mean she had no emotions.

Countless paper sheets had already covered her body.

The pre-emptive dance of the Shikigami proved that she was very angry now.

The kind of anger that would kill people without hesitation.

"Because the Akatsuki organization's desired peace will not come."

Li Xiang took a deep breath and said.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

Konan raised her hand, and a killing intent filled the air.

She had been striving for peace her whole life.

When Yahiko was alive, he hoped to create a peaceful world based on mutual understanding between people.

After his death, Nagato followed suit, bringing pain to the ninja world before bringing peace.

As for Obito's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, they didn't believe in it.

But because the process was similar, Nagato believed that with his Rinnegan, he had nothing to fear, so he cooperated with Obito.

Now Li Xiang was denying her.

Even if she was her disciple, she would never forgive her.

"I naturally know."

Li Xiang nodded and said, "I want to see the leader, and then I will explain the reason."

Konan frowned.

"Outside is Senju Hashirama, you should know the leader's current situation."

Li Xiang continued, "I can make him stop temporarily."

"Who are you? How do you know so much?"

Konan's expression changed.

Apart from herself, no one should know Nagato's true condition.

And the most outrageous thing was that Yeyu said he could command Senju Hashirama.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I joined Konoha."

Seeing her expression, Li Xiang said again, "Even if you want to kill me, do you want the leader to die because of this battle?"

Konan gritted her teeth and, after struggling for a while, said, "You make them stop first."

"No problem, but you need to understand that their patience is limited."

Li Xiang created a Shadow Clone.

After a moment, the intense fighting stopped.

Konan showed an expression of disbelief.

To be honest, she didn't really believe it just now.

Because Li Xiang was too young.

No matter how much of a genius he was, it was impossible for him to become the core of Konoha Village.

Although she was still puzzled at the moment, she believed it to some extent.

"Follow me."

Konan separated the giant tree, revealing a path.

Li Xiang was able to see the real Nagato.

Pierced with black rods, he was so thin that it seemed he wouldn't live much longer.

In fact, that was the case.

But with the Gedo Statue to prolong his life, it wouldn't be so easy for him to die.

"You should know the consequences of betraying the Akatsuki organization."

Because they had just fought, Nagato looked somewhat weak.

If it lasted a little longer, he might only be able to summon the Gedo Statue at the cost of his life.

Or unify the Six Paths and unleash Planetary Devastation.

But he wasn't sure if it would work against Senju Hashirama.

His Wood Style was just too terrifying.

"I haven't betrayed the Akatsuki organization."

Li Xiang spoke up, "I just don't want to see you all deviate further from the right target."

"Deviate?"

Nagato's anger surged as he asked, "Is bringing peace to the world wrong?"

"That is naturally not wrong. What I'm talking about is the method. Relying solely on fear can only maintain temporary peace, and you haven't changed the essence of the world."

Li Xiang continued, "Now there is the Akatsuki organization, but a hundred years later, who will be there to carry out the task of intimidating the ninja world?"

Konan couldn't help but say, "I originally thought you were the successor of our Akatsuki organization."

"But you should understand that it's difficult for me to reach the leader's level. If there are powerful ninjas in the future who want to start a war, we won't be able to stop them at all."

"Why would they start a war? We've had peace for so long."

"Because there has been peace for too long, they want to gain more power. And even if you make all the ninjas submit, what about the daimyos and nobles?"

"The Akatsuki organization has powerful force, so naturally they will submit," Konan thought for a moment and said.

Indeed, the Akatsuki organization did not consider the nobles' affairs.

In Li Xiang's view, they were essentially no different from Senju Hashirama.

Peace achieved by force.

Unless Nagato had the ability to live forever.

But even that is not guaranteed, because the Ōtsutsuki clan is still watching closely.

The best way is to overthrow this old world, abolish the ninja system, develop resources, and arm more people in theory and in strength.

Instead of simply fighting back and forth.

"It's just superficial submission."

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "If given the chance, they would be the first to kill you. Because they, who are high above, would not allow you to surpass them."

"What do you mean then?"

"Kill them, eliminate the nobles."

Li Xiang said lightly.

Nagato and Konan trembled.

This was the first time they had heard of such an idea.

Because ninjas and daimyos have always had their own roles.

Even if the Akatsuki organization sought peace, they were actually dealing with ninjas and ninja villages.

Not daimyos and nobles.

Just like how they occupied the Rain Shinobi Village, not the Land of Rain.

Fundamentally, they still had a ninja mindset.

"Do you think that the root of the chaos is the ninjas?"

"Isn't it?"

Nagato asked in return.

"What is the purpose of the Great Ninja War? It's for resources, land, and to vent excess combat power."

Li Xiang calmly asked, "And who wants these two things? It's not the Five Great Villages, but the Five Great Nations."

Ninjas receive assistance from daimyos and are aligned with the larger nations in the grand scheme of things.

Li Xiang didn't believe that the daimyos were unaware of the Great Ninja War.

Just looking at the Fourth Great Ninja War in the original work, there was a scene where five daimyos held a meeting before the war started.

In other words, the wars initiated by the ninja villages were actually for the sake of the daimyos.

After several Great Ninja Wars, the size of the Five Great Villages did not expand.

Their purpose in fighting was actually for money.

And if they lost, they would be like Sunagakure, their aid would be reduced.

In the Boruto era, because Konoha Village had been peaceful for too long, the daimyo of the Land of Fire also wanted to reduce aid.

As for the excess combat power, it goes without saying.

Take the Cloud Shinobi Village as an example. Because they constantly expanded their military strength, the entire village became obsessed with a warlike atmosphere.

Even without Obito and Black Zetsu, they would probably instigate battles.

With so many ninjas, who knows how many resources they could produce if they were put to work.

Unfortunately, they did not realize the concept that Chakra is the primary productive force.

"Without the nobles, the ninja villages would be even more chaotic."

Konan pondered for a moment and said, "Because they would have less assistance."

"You're right."

Li Xiang nodded and said, "So the root is not the nobles, nor the ninjas, but the system."

"The system?"

They were slightly startled, savoring these two words.

"Since the founding of the ninja villages by Senju Hashirama, the relationship between ninjas and nobles has been fixed. But is this ninja village system really right?"

"..."

Nagato and Konan fell silent.

This was another question that no one had ever thought about.

"Assuming the Akatsuki organization succeeds, what is the difference between you and Senju Hashirama? You rely only on your own strength. Once you die, the policies will no longer continue."

The state of Konoha in the hands of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was so bad not only because his strength was insufficient.

The system established by Senju Hashirama was inherently flawed.

It relied solely on his strength to make it work.

In this regard, Senju Tobirama was undoubtedly more perfect.

He made a lot of plans for the mess.

Such as the ninja academy, the Konoha Police Force, the Anbu, and so on.

But he died early, making it difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to handle.
