People are in Konoha, the start level is full

After presenting the white flowers as a memorial, Kuramahiko and Orochimaru left the family ancestral hall together.

Unlike clan leaders such as clan leaders and elders, the place where he lives is also a certain distance from the clan.

In fact, most of the members of a small family like the Kurama family are no different from ordinary civilian ninjas and are scattered throughout the village.

Only during important festivals, ancestor worship, and gatherings, the tribesmen will gather in the tribe's land.

At this time, it had been more than three months since Konoha declared war on Iwagakure.

The intensity of the war increased slightly at the beginning. In the past few days, another group of more than 1000 ninja, middle and jounin rushed to the front line of the battlefield.

However, Kurama Yan also noticed that there was something very interesting about this war.

The Kingdom of Earth declared war on the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Fire in the name of the country.

The Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Rain also declared war on the Kingdom of Earth in the name of the country.

Only between Konoha Village and Amegakure Village, war was declared in the name of Hidden Village.

As expected, there are times when the hidden village of ninjas and the government of the daimyo are out of step.

But the initiative is ultimately in the hands of Hidden Village.

The will of the daimyo could not change the outcome of the war.

The streets of Konoha Village were far less prosperous than in the past and looked deserted due to the rainy, wet, cold weather and the war that had mobilized many ninjas.

The two people, one large and one small, were wearing raincoats. No one said anything, they just walked side by side. The atmosphere seemed very dull.

Kurama Yan raised his head and glanced at Orochimaru's pale face, and suddenly said: "Teacher Orochimaru, you seem to have a very negative view of life."

Orochimaru looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Hiko-kun, it's my fault that you are affected by such negative emotions."

He paused and explained the reason: "This is all because I have seen too many lives pass away on the front line recently, both companions and enemies. If you are not careful on the battlefield, you may lose your head. Human life Ah, it’s too short-lived, too impermanent.”

Orochimaru is a temporary worker on the battlefield. When there is a shortage of high-end combat power on the front line, he will be temporarily recruited to support.In just over three months since the war started, he has already carried out two S-level missions and one A-level mission.

All told, the total time he spent on the battlefield was more than a month. During this period, many of his companions died beside him, and he also personally killed many enemy ninjas.

This made Orochimaru, who had always liked to think about the philosophy of life, even more sentimental.

Seeing Orochimaru talking about the war, Kurama Yan asked with interest: "Teacher Orochimaru, do you know why this war started? Speaking of which, invading the Land of Rain will not do us any good in Konoha. "

The Fire Nation occupies the most fertile land on the entire continent.

After the Hidden Leaf Village was established, it was Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara who joined forces to expand the Fire Country until they included all the valuable land before they stopped.

Therefore, when war broke out later, other countries took the lead in declaring war on the Country of Fire, and Konoha Village passively defended itself.

This was the case in the First Ninja War.

The First Ninja War, and the Third Ninja War, which Kuramahiko knew would only occur in later generations, were similar to this time in that most of the battlefields were chosen between big countries such as Rain Country and Sawa Country. buffer zone.

But there is only one difference. This war originally had nothing to do with Konoha Village, but Konoha Village took the initiative to intervene in it.

This is a very uncommon thing.

"Yanjun, the fact that you can ask this question shows that your thinking is more comprehensive than that of your peers."

Orochimaru praised him with a faint smile, and then explained: "Originally this was a high-level secret, but now that it has been some time since the war started, there is no harm in revealing it to you."

"Under the leadership of Hanzo, the power of the Hidden Rain Village has expanded to the point where the Great Country Hidden Village is afraid. And the reason for this situation is inseparable from the secret support of the Daimyos of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. .”

"Will the lords of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth secretly support the Rain Hidden Village?"

Kurama Yan was a little hard to understand for a while. Supporting hidden villages in other countries, isn't it true that meat buns beat dogs and they never come back?

How could he expect the hidden villages of other countries to protect him during a war?

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Death in the original novel also cut down the expenses of Sunagakure Village and assigned tasks to Konoha.

There might be some points in this that he hadn't thought of.

"The power of the hidden villages in the country is too strong, which is also a problem for the daimyo, which means that their authority will be threatened by the hidden villages. Therefore, cultivating the hidden villages in small countries to check and balance the hidden villages in the country is also an option. Orochimaru explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Kurama Yan nodded thoughtfully.

The concept of checks and balances may not necessarily be understood by young ninjas in this world, but after all, Kurama Yan has experienced nine years of compulsory education, so there is no obstacle to understanding it.

In fact, in his opinion, the daimyo's approach was just to take more initiative and prevent the hidden village from revolting and he was unable to fight back.

Judging from his position, there is nothing wrong with that.

However, daimyo are just ordinary people after all. No matter how good they are at tactics, in the absence of actual power, these tactics are just ridiculous tricks.

"Both Iwagakure and Konoha Village are very dissatisfied with this situation. The war first started when Iwagakure invaded the Country of Rain. If the war goes well, they will directly occupy the entire Country of Rain. Even if it doesn't work, they can This will weaken the power of Yuyin Village."

"Ame Hidden Village cannot be the opponent of Iwagakure Village, but it is not helpless to fight back. When the war between them goes on, there is a high probability that Ame Hidden Village will be defeated and accept an unequal treaty."

"What we are worried about is that without the strategic buffer zone of the Rain Country, it will undoubtedly be easier for the Iwagakure Village to invade the Fire Country in the future, and they may even join forces with the Rain Hidden Village."

"Therefore, the village's senior officials, who foresaw this situation, made up their minds to intervene in the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain."

"I see."

Under Orochimaru's detailed analysis, Kurama Yan also had a general understanding of the current situation in the ninja world.

He nodded slightly, did not ask any more questions, and walked forward in silence.

"Have you fully understood? You have a good understanding. That's right. As the reincarnation of that person, no matter what kind of talent you have, it shouldn't be surprising."

Orochimaru turned his head slightly and glanced at Kuramahiko, who had a clear look on his face. He was thinking secretly in his heart when he heard Kuramahiko ask suddenly:

"Teacher Orochimaru, do you yearn for immortality?"

"What... what?"

Orochimaru's eyes widened and he didn't react for a moment.

Kurama Yan said leisurely: "Life is too short and too fragile, so it is meaningless. But if you have a long life of hundreds or even thousands of years, it will be different."

"Isn't such a long time enough, whether it is used to think about the meaning of life or to pursue the truth of the universe?"
