A line from a scene where Bai Xing, playing the role of a surgeon, came to mind:
“You live in an ordinary and backward small country. Logically speaking, even among the native residents of Amegakure, few people can cultivate their children to have their own hobbies.”
In other words.
The villagers are illiterate; how can their lives possibly improve? Their usual assistance is limited to establishing more orphanages and helping some impoverished orphans in various cities...
But can simply giving money really solve the problem?
Clearly, this is a fundamentally flawed solution! They might not even understand the significance of the Chamber of Commerce's actions, and might even think they're idiots...
This is the gap in cognition!
"I understand now, I understand why the Land of Rain can't develop!"
From the very beginning, it wasn't a problem with the environment of the Land of Rain, nor was it a problem with the strength of the Rain Village ninjas being inferior to that of the major powers!
Rather, it's a cultural limitation!
Seeing his older brother Yahiko excitedly beside him, Kyusuke could only look at his other companions and shrug.
Soon, Yahiko had a solution. He picked up the manuscript and began to read aloud the abridged version of the narrative:
"Listen to me, everyone!"
"We are from the Moon Organization!"
"For the peace of this world and this country!"
"The Moon Organization... what is that?" The crowd murmured amongst themselves, and Yahiko, seeing this, shouted again:
"Our organization is dedicated to changing everyone's lives and enabling everyone to live better lives!"
"Gentlemen, you may not understand what I am saying. But let me explain it simply."
That is, do you want a better life? Do you want to contribute your share to this country? Do you want a better life for your next generation?
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in commotion once again:
"Of course we want to! The problem is we're just ordinary people, what can we do?"
"That's right, all I do is fish, what else can I do?"
"I can grow some herbs that I can sell, but what power do I have to contribute? Isn't that something only a ninja can do?"
After listening to the villagers' discussion, Yahiko thought to himself, "I knew it."
The ninjas' power was so great that the ignorant villagers, through long-term understanding, believed that only ninjas could protect the country.
Actually,
Ordinary people can do a lot of things too! Aren't most of the shops that ninjas frequent—the shopping malls, blacksmith shops, weapon shops, etc.—run by ordinary people?
Most of the cities outside were built brick by brick by ordinary people, who couldn't afford to hire ninjas.
Therefore, ordinary people can also exert their full potential. Just like the ancient Loulan Kingdom under the Dean, the principle of equality for all within the city seems to be the peaceful resting place that everyone dreams of!
He was determined to surpass the Dean and make the Rain Kingdom the next Land of Rest!
Chapter 166 I'm Just a Passing-by Konoha Genin
"Gentlemen, the power of ninjas is not as complicated as you all imagine."
"Next."
"Let me tell you the true stories of ninjas, and also show you how to fight back against them!"
Everyone was slightly startled and hurriedly said, "No, this is a ninja, a nobleman..."
But soon, Yahiko and the others demonstrated their power, proving that they were indeed ninjas.
The villagers then came to their senses, but what puzzled them was why a ninja from a noble family would lead them in rebellion against them.
“Ninjas are just ordinary people, really,” Yahiko said with a wry smile. “The only difference is in their strength.”
"But that's all there is to it."
Idaten Kyusuke and the other members: "???" It feels like Yahiko is cursing us along with him.
Ignoring their actions, Yahiko drew the symbols of the five great nations on the muddy ground beneath the canopy.
"Don't forget, there are many countries in this world. The people in charge of these large countries, namely the daimyo, officials, and even city lords and town mayors, are basically ordinary people."
......
Yahiko was still trying to persuade the villagers in his own way, but not all the villagers were willing to listen. Some continued to do their own work, while others took the day's harvest to the nearby city to sell for money.
Upon hearing Yahiko's words, Shirahoshi's clone inside the masked man thought to himself that Yahiko truly deserved to be one of the chosen ones.
Some might say that Nagato was the chosen one. But in reality, wasn't Yahiko also one of the chosen ones?
Just like Minato. He was simply born at the wrong time, had bad luck, and was schemed against.
"However, it is extremely difficult to overthrow feudal society in an environment where everyone is ignorant."
Only those who have read history books know how long the modern history cultural movement has been going on.
Yahiko wanted to finish it in seven days.
Purely dreaming.
Moreover, some villagers have already gone to the city. What will they do when they find out that your heads are worth so much?
......
Fengyu Town.
This city was built in an area with a relatively high altitude and mountain ranges and valleys in the east and northwest, so the wind is quite strong.
After climbing the long steps, you'll reach the city entrance, making it one of the few high-class cities in the Land of Rain.
"Uncle, you're selling fish again today? Wow, you have quite a lot of fish."
“That’s right!” The man, dressed as a poor villager, handed over the entrance fee to the city guard. The soldier counted the amount, and after confirming there were no problems, nodded slightly: “Go in.”
"And this, sir." The man handed over a slightly damp cigarette from his pocket, and the soldier looked around.
Finding no one around, he took the cigarette and waved his hand, saying, "Go inside. We're going to West Street today. There are more people there; maybe you can sell all your fish alive."
"Thank you, sir." The man smiled憨厚ly, picked up the bamboo pole, and carried the two buckets of fish towards West Street.
He passed by many children playing and adults chatting in the city, and everyone was dressed very well, which made him feel inferior.
Arriving at the stall on West Street, I paid the stall fee to the West Street administrator before I could start setting up my stall.
After setting up the fish in a safe spot to avoid getting wet in the rain, he started shouting, "Fresh fish!"
......
As expected, there were many people on the street today, and the fish were sold very quickly. Soon, both buckets of twenty large fish were sold out.
"I made a lot of money today, my wife will be very happy." The villager counted his earnings for the day, which amounted to more than 50,000 Rain Coins. He could buy some vegetables, fruits and rice in the city, and that would be enough to eat when he got back.
Just then, a lot of people gathered around a notice board and started talking.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly squeezed through to see if it was something good.
"Xiaoshang Association, I've heard of this association before. It was clearly a good one, but it just disappeared like that."
"Well, this is Hanzo-sama's order after all. Perhaps there really is a problem."
"Just focus on your own businesses and stop gathering together."
In contrast to Amegakure, many educated people in this city came out to discuss and debate, while no one in Amegakure dared to say anything negative.
"Um, what does this say?" The man pulled a young man who looked like a city dweller. The young man looked at the man with some disdain, but still briefly explained the contents of the note before leaving.
"A bounty is offered on members of the Akatsuki organization. Anyone who provides clues will receive one million Rain Coins. If all remaining members are captured, the reward will be five million?"
"Five, five million taels... I..." The man was completely blinded by money at this moment.
His steps involuntarily led him toward the residence where the local garrison was stationed.
After watching the whole process, Bai Xing thought to himself that the common people were indeed stupid. They assumed that if someone said they would receive a prize, they would blame heaven and earth if they didn't.
soon.
The man led a group of soldiers from the city out and also notified the local Amegakure ninja to come over.
There were forty ordinary soldiers and eleven ninjas, some of whom were temporarily stationed there on a mission, and others were Amegakure ninjas originally hired to be stationed there for defense.
Just then, the city lord of Wind and Rain City appeared. He was a middle-aged man dressed in rich and luxurious clothes.
"My soldiers will not go to deal with the Rain Village ninja. You and this villager should go instead."
"Lord Fenghua, are you sure?"
“This is a wanted criminal from our Land of Rain. Without your men’s help, we probably wouldn’t be able to catch him.” At this point, the leader of the Rain Ninja threatened, “Don’t forget. When you were building your castle, Lord Hanzo trusted you a lot, which is why he allowed you to build Wind and Rain Castle.”
"I will never forget Lord Hanzo's kindness. But as for the Akatsuki Trading Company... I've heard that they are fair in their business dealings and have done a lot of good deeds. For example, the orphanage in my city was built with their funds."
"If the City Lord of Fenghua is unwilling to go, then so be it. But I want you to issue a recruitment order and seal off the city to prevent the news from leaking out!"
"This... is no problem." Feng Hua waved his hand, and a subordinate who looked like an official rushed over. Following Feng Hua's instructions, he arranged for soldiers to explain the situation to the people in the local black market and also ordered the soldiers to seal the gate for an hour...
"The Lord of Fenghua City? Managing a small city with a radius of about five kilometers, that's quite sensible."
Bai Xing saw Feng Hua find a trusted subordinate, leave through a side path, and exit the city.
As for what to do, Shirahoshi could guess.
"In times of chaos, those who save the country are often not the easily deceived and foolish masses, but rather those who understand the truth and reason."
"Only shrewd people know what to do and what not to do at crucial moments."
"But this way, we have a base."
He remembered that in the original work, Nagato only turned evil after Obito had already turned evil, and after Yahiko's death.
At that time, Minato should have become Hokage.
After that, Nagato gathered a group of ninjas, eventually launching a revolution that resulted in the deaths of Hanzo and everyone who trusted him, including their families and children...
Ultimately, it was under immense pressure that they finally achieved control of Amegakure.
Furthermore, to prevent the enemy from spying on intelligence, the village was under strict martial law at every level, essentially allowing entry but not exit...
