Hokage: I and the Kami

Bai Nan nodded after listening to Elder Qianzuo's words. He also knew that if you want help from the Rokujo clan, you have to give them enough benefits. If there are no benefits, who will help you?

so......

"Then give them territory."

After hearing these words, Elder Qianzuo seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, and his whole body became completely still. The next second, his words blurted out subconsciously without going through his brain.

"Qingshui Bainan, are you crazy?! The family's territory was obtained bit by bit with their lives, how could it be given away to others?!"

This is the first time Elder Qianzuo calls Bai Nan by his full name, which shows his anger.

In fact, this is also true. In this era, every ninja family relies on the resources in its own territory to thrive and survive. The importance of land is far greater than that of people. As Elder Chisa said, people can still survive after they are gone. If the land is gone, it is really gone, and everyone will starve to death.

From Elder Qianzuo's point of view, even if the clan's territory is really attacked and the losses are heavy, as long as the important people are transferred out, it is much better than losing the territory. What's more, now that the Nishizhu family's plan has been seen through by Bai Nan, although it has no substance. Evidence, but the probability is correct. In such a good time, it is even less likely to lose the territory!

Bai Nan was not surprised by Elder Qianzuo's reaction. In the eyes of most people, land represents resources. With resources, one can survive. Without resources, everything will stop. In fact, this is true, no matter how awesome a person is. Come on, you have to eat, but how do you get the land?You have to rely on people.

Bai Nan spoke calmly.

"If you save land and lose people, you will lose all people and land. If you save people and lose land, you will save all people and land."

He stood on the shoulders of giants. He didn't need to think about many things. He only needed to look back and see how the giants walked, and then directly copy the answers.

However, after hearing these words, Elder Qianzuo did not bow down. Instead, he remained silent for a moment, and then suppressed his anger and said, "It's such strange words again. I don't know where the young master got the confidence to say them." I dare not agree with this kind of statement, but the truth behind it is that territory is far more important than tribesmen!"

This time it was Bai Nan's turn to be silent. He thought that the good impression he had made on Elder Qianzuo during this period was enough for Elder Qianzuo to support him. It turned out that he still underestimated Elder Qianzuo's persistence.

Seeing that Bai Nan didn't reply, Elder Qianzuo softened his tone slightly and said, "Young Master, you are still young. It is normal that you cannot understand some truths. You are already smart enough. Maybe Young Master, you cannot understand me. Hold on, then, let me say something.

I don’t know if the young master has noticed that in the entire family, I am the only gray-haired old man. The others, even the older Zhengming and Zongzhong, have to call me uncle.This is because everyone of my generation and those before me have all died, and no one can live past the age of 60. Except for me, I am the only person who has survived until now, so I have a great seniority.

Others of my generation either died in battle, or died shortly after suffering countless hidden wounds on their bodies from years of fighting.

Generation after generation, people rush into the battlefield, fight, get injured, and die. I have lived a long time and have seen too many people die protecting this territory. My father, mother, brothers, sons, and daughters are all buried under this land. , my bloodline has become extinct, and when I die, there will be no more bloodline of mine in the world. It is precisely because of this that I clearly understand the importance of territory.

That is the hope left by the predecessors to future generations. With it, new life can be nurtured, and a life that may die at any time can be given meaning. Even if one dies, one can die with a longing for the future, and then gain a piece of pure land. Burying the body, I have been the guardian of this land since I was born, now and in the future, until this old body is no longer able to kill the enemy, it will still be the same. As long as I can still think and have reason, I will not I will give up this land!

Young Master, no matter what you say, I will never agree to trade my territory. I bear the expectations of an entire generation and I will not retreat even one step! "

What he originally wanted to say, but now he couldn't say a word. Bai Nan looked away, a little afraid to look at Elder Qianzuo. He didn't expect Elder Qianzuo's family background to be like this. He was the only one left in the whole family. As a person, what he protects is not "land", but "past and future", that is, "inheritance".

A generational inheritance!

"People are more important than territory!"

However, Bai Nan still spoke. Although he looked away, his tone was more determined.

Elder Qianzuo's lips trembled, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He knew that the young master in front of him, who he loved very much, had a huge difference with him at this moment.

"Then what are your preparations? Young Master, are you dedicating your territory to the Rokujo family just to ensure that the clan's territory is not invaded?"

"No, I want someone from the Rokujo family to join us in attacking the Nishizhu family, destroy the Nishizhu family, and then annex their territory and population!"

......

into the night.

Bai Nan lay on the bed with his eyes open in the darkness. His idea was not implemented after all. Elder Qianzuo finally rejected his proposal. In this rear clan area, Elder Qianzuo is the one with the most power. No matter in terms of force or power, Bai Nan was unable to resist Elder Qianzuo's decision.

However, Bai Nan doesn't understand. In his opinion, giving up some territory to persuade the Rokujo family to take action, uniting with the Rokujo family to destroy the Nishizhu family, and annexing the Nishizhu family will obviously lead to more territory and population. This is definitely It was an extremely cost-effective deal. Some of the Rokujo family made money, some of the Qingshui family also made money, and the only one who lost was the Nishiki family. It can be said that everyone is happy.

Why not?Is it just to live up to the efforts of those who have passed?But now, aren't they also working hard to expand their family territory?

Bai Nan has never experienced it, and he doesn't understand it, but he knows that no matter how many ideas he has, if he wants to realize them, he must have at least one of power and force.

In the past, Bai Nan thought about gaining family power and defecting to the future winner Qianju. But when the battle with the gods was postponed that night, Bai Nan's thoughts changed uncontrollably. Why couldn't the final winner be the Qingshui clan? ?

Ambition is linked to power, and Bai Nan, who has the seed of a god, is no longer willing to play second fiddle to others.

But all that is still too far away. At this stage, Bai Nan doesn't even have the ability to lead the family's actions, and his strength is mediocre.

The time for his rise should be "in the future", not "now".

Bai Nan began to plan his future life course in his mind. As for the family, there should be no problems in this war. Next, he should follow Elder Qianzuo to handle family affairs honestly and slowly establish prestige within the clan. , and then become the young patriarch at the right time.

The only thing that may cause trouble is the second brother who has not yet met. I wonder if he will compete with him for this position.

In terms of strength, the strengthening of Shenyuan has been stopped for a while. Now I can no longer enjoy the pleasure of getting stronger while lying down. I must start practicing seriously. If I want to get back to Shenyuan later, I can only wait for one year. After the second vassal quota, Bai Nan got the information that the stronger the person, the more divine sources he could provide. The next vassal quota needed to be carefully considered to get as many divine sources as possible.

He is only nine years old now, so he still has plenty of time. Bai Nan made a simple calculation and decided to wait until at least 15 years old, that is, six years before he considers leaving the family. By then, his strength will definitely be on the front line, and he will become the young patriarch of the family. There should be no problems. At that time, with force and power in hand, we can start to expand our power.

......

In the days that followed, it was back to the situation before the letter was delivered. Bai Nan followed Elder Chisa to handle affairs and practice. The forty ninjas on the east side of the family were indeed borrowed from the Rokujo family by the Nishiki family. The Rokujo family Unwilling to completely offend the Qingshui family, they evacuated after staying for half a month. Seeing that their plot was discovered, several ninjas from the Nishizhu family had no choice but to escape into the mountains and forests and find a way to escape back to the Nishizhu family.

During the frontline war, the Qingshui ninjas who originally planned to go straight to the Nishizhu family's territory calmed down after receiving a message from the rear, and started a tug-of-war with the Nishizhu family's ninjas.

Another month later, Qingshui and the Xizhu family made a truce. After all, they were all small families. They had tried their best to fight the war for two months. If the war continued, no one would be able to gain any favors. The gains would outweigh the losses. Neither side wanted to fight. Then this battle will naturally be unsustainable.

I heard that some large ninja families often fight a war for half a year or a year, and some even fight for several years. That level of logistical pressure and casualties is really beyond the imagination of their small families.

It is worth mentioning that in the last half month of the war, the Boy Scouts were also forced to go to the battlefield. Masako Shimizu and Yako Shimizu came to say goodbye to Bai Nan. Both of them were prepared to leave and never return. Prepare.

Fortunately, both of them came back alive in the end. In this battle, the Qingshui family dispatched a total of 240 and eight ninjas. 23 were killed, 69 were seriously injured, and 130 were slightly injured. It can be said that everyone was injured.

The uniform of the Qingshui family is white. Looking around, it is all white. In the past, it only felt refreshing, but on this day, Bai Nan felt unprecedented depression. 23's death, there was a four to six person behind each person. family, that is to say, there are more than 100 people attending the funeral, and one-third of the entire family is crying. This is the "gift" left to this family by the war.

The pain of the war will not end immediately. At least one or two funerals will be held every day, because among the 69 seriously injured people, people are also dying. Those dead ninjas came back with their seriously injured bodies to give A glimmer of hope was given to the family, but it was quickly shattered.

While walking on the road, Bai Nan could hear crying every day. He could clearly feel that the entire family was speaking less and less. In such a depressing environment, no one knew what to say. .

Half a month later, all the seriously injured people disappeared, 41 of them died and 28 survived. So far, the Qingshui family had lost a total of 64 ninjas. Almost every household held a funeral.

Perhaps, until this moment, the war is truly over.

"call!"

Bai Nan watched the last deceased being buried and couldn't help exhaling a breath from his mouth. He had never been so depressed. He wanted to do something but was unable to do anything. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

How should he persuade a mother who lost a five- or six-year-old child not to cry?How should you persuade a wife who has lost her beloved and whose family is on the verge of collapse not to cry?

Shimizu Shinji stood next to Bai Nan, "Do you feel anything? Little brother."

Bai Nan: "I don't know how to describe it."

"Well, the first time I saw this situation, I was just like you. I was still young at that time. Seeing them feel uncomfortable made me feel uncomfortable too. I wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so I had to follow the clan members while they cried. , I also cried. My mother asked me, do you feel comfortable crying? I said, I don’t feel comfortable. My mother wiped away my tears and told me that she hoped that I would not have to cry again in the future. If I have the ability, let the tribesmen No need to cry anymore, she hoped that I could change everything. I didn't know anything at that time, so I promised to do it.

Later I realized, how could one person change the general trend of the world?The war will not be ended by one person, but I don’t know why, but my mother really believed in me. Every day before I went out, she said to me, General, today you will also move towards the goal of changing the family. .

Ha... It has been a long time since my mother passed away. To this day, I still haven't changed anything. Brother, tell me, my mother clearly knows that nothing can be changed, but why does she pretend to believe that I can change it? "

Bai Nan had never met his mother at all. He couldn't answer this question originally, but maybe it was a coincidence. At this time, Bai Nan remembered what Elder Qianzuo had said to him. It might be something that happened in this cruel era. , the only romance for the ninjas struggling to survive.

"I think that is the hope that your mother left for you. With it, you will know that war is wrong, and you can move towards the goal of changing everything. Even if you fail, you can pass on this hope to future generations. , let them change in a good direction.”

Elder Chisa took over the responsibility of "protecting the territory and family" from his generation, while Shinji Shimizu took over from his mother's hands the fire that she created to "change the family."

Bai Nan suddenly understood that this is "inheritance". This may be the struggle of ninjas in this world in the face of death. In this world full of wars, ninjas don't know which one will come first, "tomorrow" or "death". , they could not resist such a general trend, so they passed on what they thought was good to their descendants. In this way, although they were still afraid of death, they would never despair because they had already collected the most precious things. Yes, isn't it?

Hidden in the hearts of those younger generations, it is their most precious thing, their fight against death, and their torch against darkness.

"But, that's not right."

Bai Nan understood, but immediately denied this romance. The so-called "inheritance" can be a skill, a spiritual character, or even some material things, but it should not be a specific goal. Ninja Our inheritance is just a cry when we are unable to resist the times.

Bai Nan is different from them. He acknowledges and understands the existence of this kind of ninja inheritance, but he will not agree with it. If there is darkness, then he will use one person and one sword to sweep away a bright world.

If I have to say it, this is Bai Nan's inheritance, the inheritance from the previous life. Things in this world will last forever. If Bai Nan has descendants in the future, he also hopes that he will solve the troubles for the descendants instead of leaving them behind. To posterity.

If the war is wrong, then end the war. If you are afraid of losing territory, then suppress all enemies!

Recalling the clan members who kept dying, Bai Nan's eyes gradually became determined. He wanted to change everything. Regardless of whether Elder Qianzuo agreed or not, he also had his own persistence and he would not admit defeat!

Three months after coming to this world, Bai Nan's mentality changed drastically for the first time. From a salted fish who wanted to join the Thousand Hands, he turned into a young master who wanted to lead his family to rise regardless of obstacles.

[Divine source +10]

The yellow paper suddenly jumped out and gave Bai Nan an inexplicable hint.

what happened?Why did I suddenly get ten points of divine source?I only gave you three points of divine source when I accepted my eldest brother!

Bai Nan was confused.
