Even though Nagato was a saint, he laughed in anger at this moment.

"Is a short-lived prosperity considered prosperity?"

Nagato's voice became low, with endless sorrow.

He stared at Jiraiya quietly, with complex light flashing in his eyes.

Jiraiya raised his head and responded with a firm look: "But at least it is prosperity, isn't it? At least no one is bleeding now, and no one will be sad because of the loss of companions and relatives. This is the benefit of peace, and we should cherish it."

His voice was full of desire for peace, and also revealed disgust for war.

Looking at Jiraiya who was clinging to the world of his imagination, Nagato suddenly felt very sad.

"The Emperor once said: In the past history, there was always a group of self-righteous people who guarded the order they thought was the most perfect, even if they consumed their lives and all their beliefs for this, because in their eyes, order is better than no order!"

"They moved themselves and pulled the pace of the development of the times. They made the world a mess, but they still felt that they had made a huge contribution!"

Jiraiya was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

He didn't understand why Nagato suddenly became so pessimistic.

Is it really only through war that real change can be achieved? He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Nagato recalled when the Emperor said these words.

At that time, Nagato only felt that the Emperor was introducing himself.

Obviously there was no war, and everyone could enjoy life happily, why did the Emperor still spur them endlessly, asking everyone to work hard, work hard, and work harder!

It seemed that there was something chasing behind.

Now, after comparing the two, he completely understood what was the right effort and what was the useless effort.

The development of the empire is changing with each passing day, and it can be seen every day, while this world...

Their history is similar to that of the empire. They have been pursuing peace since Hashirama. He could have unified the ninja world and brought true peace, but he was reluctant to shed a little blood at that time and chose to let the entire ninja world bleed for decades.

And at this moment, Jiraiya, he has clearly made the pros and cons clear, but he still sticks to his inner will.

Is this an endless bond? It's just a nice way of saying it! This is actually pedantic! Foolish loyalty!

The banquet below has ended, which seems to indicate that his fate with Jiraiya is about to end.

But Nagato still wants the other party to stop at the brink.

"Let me tell you the story of our empire..."

Nagato looked at the sky, his thoughts fell into memories.

Jiraiya took out a notebook and began to prepare to record at any time.

He knew that the most important information was coming!

The other party was finally willing to speak up and expose their intelligence!

"Our Empire and Konoha are in the same time period, basically Konoha's 64th year. The only difference is that 20 years ago, we changed to the Imperial Calendar in Konoha's 44th year."

Nagato said as he fell into memories.

"I was born in Konoha's 33rd year, and I was already eleven years old at that time. Even though I was in the Hidden Rain Village, I experienced many things myself."

"Regarding the Holy War of the Empire, it officially began one year after Hanzo Salamander declared war on the Three Kingdoms, that is, in Konoha's 40th year, one year after the start of the Second Ninja World War..."

Jiraiya was secretly shocked when he heard Nagato's words.

Why is the development process of their world exactly the same as his own?

Could it be that the difference in distortion that occurred later was in Konoha's 40th year?

What happened in their 40th year?

What is the so-called Holy War?

"There are many different opinions about the Emperor's origin, but what is certain is that the Emperor... Uchiha Senju, Senju-sama was born during World War I, and both his parents died in World War I."

"He seems to hate war very much, because Senju-sama's parents died in the war. He killed Hanzo, the number one ninja in the Hidden Rain Village at that time and one of the culprits who triggered the Second Ninja World War."

Nagato said with a flash of shock in his eyes.

"At that time, Lord Senju's Wood Release and Susanoo shocked the entire ninja world, and he returned to Konoha to replace the Third Hokage."

"The rest of the ninja world feared Lord Senju's bloodline limit, and they put aside their differences and joined forces to get rid of Konoha."

"The fantasy Konoha defense war began, but Lord Senju killed all the leaders of the coalition army alone, and more than half of the 100,000 ninjas of the ninja coalition were killed by him."

"The Third Ninja World War ended before it even began. Lord Senju was supported by Konoha and his identity was recognized."

"Lord Senju did not rest and recuperate, but took advantage of the other countries' serious injuries to lead the Konoha ninjas to fight all the way,The holy war that started the empire began. "

Nagato was somewhat excited when he thought of this history and experience.

He used to despise it, but now, comparing the two, he really wanted to travel back and give himself two big slaps in the face.

"In just two years, the entire ninja world changed dynasties, and there was no other ninja village except Konoha. Just when everyone in Konoha cheered and the daimyos of the Land of Fire gave Lord Senju the supreme honor, Lord Senju refused. He rejected the colonization plan of the daimyos of the Land of Fire, and wanted to abolish all countries with a unified empire."

"He wanted to abolish the ninja village system and the situation of co-governance between daimyos and ninja villages."

"The daimyos were angry, and the ninja families were also angry. They criticized Lord Senju and instigated countless ninjas to start a civil war to try to stop Lord Senju, and also provided countless resources to support the remnants of ninjas in other countries. ”

“At that time, the whole country was in uprising and rebellion. Lord Senju did not compromise and killed all those who resisted, refused to obey, or were even bewitched and incited!”

“For a whole year, more than 100,000 ninjas died and more than one million civilians died! His cruelty and ruthlessness finally made everyone understand that those who obey him will prosper, and those who resist him will perish.”

“After a year of civil strife, he purged most of the conservatives and nobles, and the rest dared not make trouble again. At the beginning of the 44th year of Konoha, the empire was announced and all countries were turned into provinces.”

“According to post-war statistics, 180,000 ninjas died and 1.84 million civilians died in these three years.”

Jiraiya was sweating profusely when he heard this. He knew how strong Hanzo was.

But what frightened him even more was the number.

“180,000 ninjas? 1.84 million civilians? ”

You should know that there are only over 10,000 ninjas in Konoha now, and by the time of the Fourth Ninja World War, there were only 80,000 ninjas in the coalition.

The so-called holy war of Nagato sacrificed 18 times the number of ninjas in Konoha now?

"Are you sure this is called a holy war? With so many people dead, the whole world must be seriously injured, right? The Senju-sama you mentioned is probably a war maniac, right?"

Jiraiya guessed that the situation might be urgent at the time, and those who could use a little ninjutsu were forcibly recruited as ninjas.

But that is also a terrifying number!

He felt a deep fear before he faced the Uchiha Senju mentioned by Nagato.

This kind of person... evil Uchiha!

Damn, am I starting to have colored eyes too?

Nagato listened to the doubts in Jiraiya's words, glanced at the world and sighed deeply.

"Yeah, I also thought it was ridiculous at that time. With so many people dead, can it be called a holy war?"

"But now, I have figured it out. "

Nagato's tears revealed a firm sense of recognition.

"Master Senju took only three years to complete the great achievements that all predecessors had failed to achieve! Twenty years after the establishment of the empire, everyone is equal, and there will be no more wars!"

"As for the serious damage you mentioned, everyone was indeed living in fear at the time, but the emperor used iron-blooded means to promulgate countless systems that benefited the people's livelihood. In the first three years of the empire, he was busy until midnight every day, and he personally went to the field countless times to check whether the local people's livelihood policies were implemented. "

"I can tell you that the so-called serious damage to the vitality was recovered in just five years. In the tenth year, the prosperity of the country far exceeded the ninja village era. As for now..."

"As far as I know, the empire had more than 17 million newborns last year, more than 110,000 jonins, and 710,000 chunins. The latest issue of the ninja academy is public, and there are already 2.15 million students enrolled!"
