Chapter 88 Dangerous Words? Indeed, betraying an ally is the safest option!
Chapter 88 Dangerous Words? Indeed, betraying an ally is the safest option!
Yuki's tone lowered, like an old friend having dinner together, quietly recounting the past.
"In the past, everyone in Konoha had the opportunity to receive education at the Ninja Academy. Graduating from the Ninja Academy opened up a wider range of career prospects. Completing nursing training allowed one to become a qualified nurse; passing the medical examinations enabled one to become an excellent medical ninja..."
"Everyone is full of hope for the future, and the team members are full of energy. They believe that carrying out the mission and contributing to the village is a very honorable mission."
"That was an exceptionally enlightened period, and it is probably the Konoha that everyone misses."
Did people have more opportunities in the first and second generations?
of course!
In Konoha Village, which was in ruins and had nothing, anyone with a skill could find a suitable job.
But the doctors present, and even Tsunade and others, wouldn't think in those directions.
Most people were lost in remembrance and reminiscence.
That vibrant era, where everything flourished, seems like it existed just yesterday...
Yuuki's tone became spirited again, pulling everyone out of their thoughts.
He raised his right hand and pointed to the commercial street outside the door.
"Today, I stand in the Medical Association building and wander the land of Konoha Village!"
"Do you know how much a regular bowl of ramen costs? Forty-five taels! That's almost double what it was a dozen years ago!"
"In comparison, what about the income of ordinary doctors? It's almost unchanged!"
"why?"
"Because our living space is being squeezed, our companions are not fighting for the pay they deserve! The exploited people have their technology stolen and their value squeezed dry, and all they can do is express a few words of indignation and protest, and then continue to suffer in meager wages. This is tragic."
"We need to save ourselves, we need to reflect!"
"How serious are the village's problems?"
Faced with Yuuki's question, the crowd fell silent for a moment; they had never thought about these things before.
Ichinin is a bit better off; with the income of an ordinary doctor, there's not much time to think too much.
"I heard that one of my comrades in the village was brutally murdered by the enemy. That comrade was the son of the First Hokage, and dozens of other comrades also perished at the same time. Even today, the village has not yet fully declared war on evil!"
“I think this is weakness, indifference to the murder of a comrade!”
As Yuuki shifted the topic to the Senju clan, specifically mentioning the deceased Senju Yanagi, the doctors present were deeply moved and whispered among themselves.
That's strange. The First Hokage's son was assassinated by ninjas from an enemy country. Why didn't he seek revenge?
What exactly are the village's higher-ups doing?
The medical profession requires a relatively long learning period.
In Konoha, most people who can call themselves doctors and run clinics are quite old.
He had received the kindness of Hashirama Senju and witnessed the heroic figure of Tobirama Senju.
Now let's compare the current Hokage with the two from before.
It seems... something is missing.
Yuuki sighed deeply: "I know the village's difficulties, but the rules that everyone agrees on are the foundation for maintaining normalcy. Management without credibility is destined to lead to chaos!"
"Our problem is not a lack of strong people, nor a lack of resources, but a lack of indifference and confusion!"
“A feud spanning three generations can still be avenged, let alone a feud that happened thirty days ago!”
"I am mortal enemies with evil!"
"Bravo!" A clear shout rang out from the middle of the hall, followed by thunderous applause. The doctors present, their faces flushed with excitement, all stood up and applauded.
We, Konoha, are the strongest. Facing our enemies, it is only right and reasonable for us to seek revenge!
As Yuuki led the atmosphere to one climax after another, Jiraiya, sitting in the back corner, became much more serious.
"What amazing thinking! At such a young age, he actually shared his ideals in front of so many people?"
"But isn't this idea a bit too dangerous?"
"Inciting war will only bring suffering to people."
Jiraiya shifted his gaze to Tsunade's face, trying to find a trace of approval in her.
"Dangerous?" Tsunade put down her wine cup and snorted coldly. "It is indeed dangerous. After all, that brat hopes the village will avenge my father through a direct war."
Jiraiya had just begun to feel relieved when he finally hit rock bottom.
Oops, I said the wrong thing!
Tsunade spoke sarcastically, glaring fiercely at Jiraiya: "Speaking of safety, backstabbing allies is definitely safer, isn't it? Stabbing someone in the back and taking hostages is much more difficult than killing an enemy on the front lines!"
"Furthermore, saying a few words is considered inciting war? Then wouldn't Shimura Danzo's kidnapping of the Uzumaki clan members be considered the direct initiation of a war?!"
"No wonder he's a lecherous old man, just like him!"
Jiraiya was, of course, aware of the mess between the Uzumaki family and Danzo Shimura.
The claim that intelligence comes naturally is not an exaggeration.
Upon hearing these heart-wrenching words, Jiraiya's spirit, which had plummeted to rock bottom, completely died.
Old man, why did you provoke the Senju clan?
Suppressing the ninja clan is one thing, but betraying an ally is another!
He wanted to explain that the village had its reasons, but he simply couldn't bring himself to say them.
It's really difficult to lie to your companions with your eyes open.
"Tsunade, that's not what I meant."
"Idiot Jiraiya." A long-absent smile appeared on Orochimaru's lips.
Having listened to many inspiring and satisfying insights, Orochimaru had an idea in mind.
The medical association seems very successful, so it makes sense to replicate a ninja association to provide inspiration and clues.
The first question is, where do the money and people come from?
His peripheral vision swept towards the Hokage Building, then he quickly looked away.
Orochimaru's tongue circled his lips.
What an interesting little rascal!
Tsunade gazed at the spirited figure on the stage with a look of satisfaction.
Has Yuuki finally made up his mind to embark on the path to realize his dreams?!
"Well said!" A vibrant green figure exclaimed, choking back tears, his eyes filled with unwavering determination: "Is this the will of a genius? It seems my self-discipline isn't enough!"
He ran out of the medical association, laughing and shouting: "Let's run a hundred laps around the village, full of youthful energy and passion!"
Matt Day's departure caused no stir.
......
"Ahem... That child really surprised me quite a bit."
"At such a young age, his thoughts on the future and the village have already reached this level."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a wistful drag on his cigarette. "Damn it," he thought, "I see a shadow of my teacher in one of these Uchiha."
Tough and ruthless yet caring.
Genius!
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It was hasty; we shouldn't have pushed this child onto Tsunade.
Yuuki is on his side, considering his relationship with the Uchiha First Flame.
With the strong support of the Uchiha clan, things will definitely be much easier.
