"Actually, your war is stupid."
Guan Liyuan's words seemed a bit arrogant to Zabuza, and even Shiro was a little disappointed with such "fake words". Many people have made such pointless moans, so what's the point?
However, this is indeed Guan Liyuan’s true thoughts!
The trigger of war may be accidental, but the root cause of war must have its essential contradictions.
In the world of Naruto, although personal force has a very strong influence on the Ninja Village and the country, and there is Kaguya who is the mastermind behind the black Zetsu, but Guan Liyuan still does not believe that the root cause of the war is a few strong people. His stubbornness and running around with Hei Jue...
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the war in the Naruto world that these stubborn strong men and Black Zetsu who want to rescue Kaguya have a chance to survive and develop!
Essential contradictions are usually conflicts of interest.
For example, Konoha occupies too many resources in the ninja world. After the decline of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, Konoha's military force cannot match the resources it occupies...at least in the eyes of other major powers.
What will the Ninja Village gain from the war? The territory of the Ninja Village will not expand or shrink due to war, but it will determine the number of entrusted tasks they accept and the support of the host country!
The territory of the Ninja Village will not grow, but the growth of the host country's territory will naturally provide the Ninja Village with more resources and paid commissions, and continuous victory in the war will also attract clients from other countries to entrust tasks to the Ninja Village. .
Uneven distribution of benefits exists, but in Guan Liyuan's view, this inequality has not yet reached the point where a full-scale war is needed!
As for before the era of Ninja Village, ninjas fought to the point where even five- and six-year-old children had to go to the battlefield and it was difficult for them to survive to adulthood. This was completely a behavior that had lower IQs...
Although ninjas need to replenish their body's energy and energy because they practice chakra, and their appetites are larger than ordinary people, they are definitely not to the point where they can starve themselves to death. As for other resources... I don't see how they enjoy them. The world of Naruto is also There is no need for auxiliary training such as spiritual stones. It seems that the most used metal resources are the metal resources for making shurikens and kunai...
Well, in order to have more metal to make shurikens and kunai, countless shurikens and kunai made of metal were inserted into the enemies, and finally they were inserted into each other until the average life span of everyone was only ten years...
Is there anyone more intelligent than this?
The main world where Guan Liyuan is now is also fighting endlessly, but that is because most of the abyssal creatures are unwilling to live in peace with humans, or even communicate with humans, and are obsessed with destroying humans and occupying the paradise...
Are the IQs of these ninjas on the same level as those of ghouls?
"The essence of war is to promote the redistribution of interests, but with the current situation in the ninja world and the sacrifices required for war, it is much more cost-effective to develop existing resources than to promote the redistribution of interests." Guan Liyuan further said.
Haku stood silently on the sidelines. She had always regarded herself as Zabuza's tool, but now she only felt that Guan Liyuan's words were unclear and harsh. Instead, Zabuza frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Can the endurance and strength of a newly graduated genin be comparable to that of a cow?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"Of course... How can Niu compare? Do you know what the exam will be when I graduate?" Zabuza's tone was cold.
Guan Liyuan was not interested in listening to his "glorious history" of how he killed all the students in his class.
Skipping Zabuza's question directly, he then asked: "Has the land development and utilization in various countries been complete? How many fields can a cow plow in a year? How much minerals can be mined? How much can a genin eat and use in a year? What if? How many genin will die in a year if there is a war? What will you get if you win?"
Zabuza remained silent.
Maybe he vaguely guessed what Guan Liyuan was going to say, or maybe it was Guan Liyuan who asked, but he didn't know!
After all, Ninja Village is not a small-scale peasant economy, nor does it rely on planting and industry to support itself. Instead, it relies on subsidies from the host country and remuneration for entrusted tasks.
"In this situation where the income is greater than the consumption, the redistribution of interests is not urgent, especially the losses caused by promoting redistribution will be greater than the gains in one's own interests after the redistribution! So where are these human resources consumed?" Guan Liyuan Then asked.
Outsiders only know that Mochi Zabuza is a "ghost" who enjoys killing people, but he himself knows that he is a ghost who dreams of becoming the Mizukage! So at this moment I am also thinking about what Guan Liyuan said... Could it be that the rewards for ninja tasks are not as fast as farming?
Zabuza thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem to be the case. A hundred cows couldn't exchange for a mission like Cardo's this time!
Seeing Zabuza frowning... Ah no, Zabuza has no eyebrows, he is thinking "with an arched eye", Guan Liyuan continued: "Actually, the main reason is that the reward of a ninja's mission is not proportional to the effort, and the higher the level of the ninja, the more so! "
"How is that possible? The mission reward of a chunin is at least five times that of a genin..." Zabuza said immediately.
"But how many genin can give birth to a chuunin? How much training time does a genin need to devote to training outside of missions? Twenty genin can become a chuunin after ten years of training, but a chuunin can continue to train without any effort. After that time, the time to implement the commission was only about twenty years. Even if the efficiency was five times that of the genin, the loss would be double..." Guan Liyuan calculated the calculation.
Of course, the actual ratio is not like this, but Zabuza understood Guan Liyuan's example... and Guan Liyuan didn't notice that Shiro on the side also showed an interested look.
Guan Liyuan feels that the various ninja villages spending such a large cost to train ninjas is actually a disguised arms race, and it is the worst kind of arms race that directly destroys productivity!
"Are you saying that the more chunin and jounin you train, the more disadvantageous it will be?" Zabuza couldn't accept it.
"This was indeed the case during the Warring States Period. However, after the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan took the lead in carrying out reforms and finally determined the rules of the Ninja Village through the Five Kage Conference, this 'disadvantage' was actually resolved a lot..."
"Is there any change?" Although Zabuza's voice was cold, there was some urgency in his tone.
Many people regard Zabuza's assassination of the Mizukage as an act of recklessness, thinking that he is a type with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. However, in fact, his ambition is definitely not small! His assassination was also for the purpose of promoting the coup...
"The biggest change is that ninjas can use their own military resources to exchange for non-military resources from non-ninjas. In other words, the process of training ninjas in disguise is no longer separate from production." Guan Liyuan said.
"Isn't it the same now?" Zabuza asked again.
The situation has not changed, so why is there so much uncertainty now?
"It's different... Now all ninjas are regarded as a group, and ordinary people who are not ninjas are regarded as a group... The trade between the two is the exchange of force resources and material resources. The more equal this exchange is, the more stable the ninja world will be. , but now the force of ninjas has inflation... Ahem, you can understand that there are too many ninjas, and the commission fee has dropped!" Guan Liyuan continued.
Seeing that Zabuza had not turned the corner, Guan Liyuan asked again in guidance: "When the Ninja Village era just started, how many ninjas were there? What is the ratio of genin, chunin, and jounin? How many ninjas are there now? What is the commission ratio compared to that year? How much has it increased?"
With such a reminder, Zabuza also understood that although there are no more powerful people like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in the top five countries who can suppress everything, the overall number of ninjas has increased and their level has risen. , but the rate of increase in commissions is not that fast... Naturally, ninjas are not valuable anymore!
"You mean, the so-called 'root conflict' is actually..." Zabuza's tone was a little strange.
"Yes, the so-called contradiction is that there are too many ninjas. In fact, every time the ninja world wars, the reason why everyone can be quiet for a while after the battle is not because someone has grabbed the territory, but because the number of ninjas has dropped! "
In Guan Liyuan's view, the Ninja World War is like capitalism pouring milk into the river... Although it is wasteful, it does play a role in stabilizing the market!
Of course, ninjas are not milk. They cannot jump into the river by themselves, so they will die in the war!
The leaders of the major ninja villages may not have this purpose, but they indirectly contributed to this result...
"..." This statement was somewhat unacceptable to Zabuza.
"To fight for peace, sacrifice is great; to fight for interests, sacrifice is valuable; to fight for sacrifice... sacrifice is stupid." Guan Liyuan further stimulated him.
In this way, ninjas are indeed stupid. They desperately improve their chakra and hone their ninjutsu, resulting in their own value getting lower and lower. In the end, they can only "self-destruct" to regain balance.
After Zabuza didn't say anything for a long time, he said sarcastically: "What can I do? Do you want to reduce the number of ninjas? Even if Konoha does this, he will definitely be eaten to the bone!"
"Indeed, peace cannot be built on the kindness of human beings, otherwise it will only benefit the 'first bad guy'... But there are actually other ways! Now the contradiction appears in two parts, one part is the force produced by the ninja group Resources, and material resources produced by non-ninja groups, the imbalance between the two... and the other part is within the ninja group, because of mutual distrust, the production of force resources cannot be slowed down!" Guan Liyuan said.
Zabuza continued to look at him without saying a word.
"In other words, if you want to resolve this contradiction, you can only start with 'material resources'! As long as material resources increase at the same rate as the growth of force resources, the contradiction can be alleviated..." Guan Liyuan continued.
Zabuza's expression is getting weirder and weirder...
"That's right! In general, apart from mutual distrust, the most fundamental reason why the ninja world continues to war is that the non-ninja groups have created too little material value!"
Zabuza and Shiro were speechless. If Guan Liyuan hadn't led him to this conclusion little by little, they would have thought he was crazy...
The reason why the ninja world has been at war for years is because ordinary people are not productive enough? Even the most despicable careerist cannot give such a shameless reason...
But now that Guan Liyuan said it, the two of them had to believe it. After all, the entire derivation process was in front of them. They could understand each step separately, but when put together, the conclusion was staggering.
"The war in the ninja world...has nothing to do with ninjas? So...that means we can't stop the war at all?" Zabuza asked.
Bai also looked at Guan Liyuan at this time, with a faint look of expectation in his eyes...
Although the tragedy of Bai's life experience was caused by the blood inheritance boundary, the reason why the blood inheritance boundary was squeezed out was also the pain after the war.
The more people have experienced war, they will also yearn for peace...
"Of course there is a way! Ninjas can increase the total amount of military resources by cultivating chakra, and there must be a way for ordinary people to increase their productivity! For example, the civilians of the Fire Country now, I think, are both electricity and steam engines. Civilians in other major countries can create more value... On the other hand, you can also find ways to use ninjas, or you can directly create non-military resources. For example, medical ninjas can make more medical visits among ordinary people than ninjas of the same level. .”
Although what Guan Liyuan said could only be regarded as "talking" and "talking on paper", it did attract Zabuza's attention, and opened up another new chapter in the heart of this ambitious ghost who originally only wanted to use violent means to seize Kirigakure's power. A door.
Bai's thoughts are not that complicated. He is just thinking, can this really end the war?
"Actually, there is another way, which is similar to the way when order in Ninja Village was first established..."
"Is there any way?" Zabuza asked in surprise.
Guan Liyuan first said a lot of things that normal ninjas would not think about, and deduced a jaw-dropping conclusion. Then when he thought that ninjas were inevitable in war, he proposed two more from another angle. The solution…now there’s a third one?
"Yes, when the order of Ninja Village was first established, the reason why peace was maintained for a period of time was not only because the trading model of force resources and material resources was established to relieve the pressure, but also because Senju Hashirama divided the tailed beasts. Given to the five major ninja villages...the tailed beasts can serve as a deterrent between the ninja villages, but on the other hand they will not produce force resources and exacerbate the decline in the value of force resources." Guan Liyuan said.
Indeed, there are only a few jinchūriki who can completely control tailed beasts. Tailed beasts and jinchūriki usually do not directly use the force resources of the ninja village in exchange for material resources, and they do not consume much material resources. At the same time, in the ninja group It also has a deterrent effect, so conflicts can be eased!
Of course, Guan Liyuan does not think that the stupid first generation has such a vision and can see through the new contradictions that will be brewed in the Ninja Village system. Nine times out of ten, he is deceived...
Seeing that Zabuza was silent, Guan Liyuan suddenly said: "We will set off tomorrow! Are you going back to the Kingdom of Water? Take me with you. I want to take the waterway to the north of the Kingdom of Taki."
That's right, Guan Liyuan also decided on his plan for the next month in Naruto World.
It's neither going to Konoha to lure the "snake" out of its hole, nor going to Tian Country to bet on whether he can find the snake's nest. After all, it takes half a month to go to Tian Country by water, and half a month to find Orochimaru's stronghold? I'm afraid there won't be enough time...
Guan Liyuan planned to go to Takino Country, which is adjacent to the west of Tian Country. To be precise, he went to the Taketori clan in the south of Takino Country who was at war with Kusana Country.
Although they are just a branch of the Kaguya clan and cannot awaken the corpse veins at all, as long as they can find some methods of cultivating the corpse veins, it will be useful to Guan Liyuan!
Moreover, the Taketori clan is in a fixed place, which is much more reliable than luring the "snake" out of its hole and digging out an unknown snake's nest...
What Guan Liyuan didn't know was that just after he left, Zabuza looked at Shiro and said, "Do you think what he said makes sense?"
Bai Wenyan's expression changed slightly, but in the end he still said with an indifferent face: "I don't know, I'm just Zabuza-sama's tool."
"Tools...?"
