This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 332 The Ninja World's Shared Fate

Nishikawa Tetsu placed his hands on the table and threw out a concept that would shake the entire ninja world:

"We, Konoha, propose that the five great ninja villages take the lead in establishing a new order that transcends national borders and shares resources and technology."

"The ninja world...a community of shared destiny?"

In the vast conference room, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, twitched his white eyebrows slightly; the Fourth Raikage, A, narrowed his single eye; the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, flashed a barely perceptible sneer on his baby face; and Chiyo remained expressionless, her withered fingers gently rubbing her cane.

This term was too unfamiliar and too abstract for these Kage-level powerhouses.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, are you getting senile?"

Onoki broke the silence first, letting out a cold laugh as he leaned forward slightly in mid-air, his expression undisguised mockery.

"What community of shared destiny? Do you want the five great nations to merge into one village? Or do you want everyone to lay down their weapons, hold hands, and sing nursery rhymes? This ridiculous idealism couldn't even be achieved by the God of Shinobi. Do you think you can make it happen with just a few words?"

"Exactly!" the Fourth Raikage, A, chimed in gruffly. "We Kumogakure only believe in might. This world is a dog-eat-dog world. You Konoha have gained a slight advantage now, and you're trying to lull us into a false sense of security with these empty tricks?"

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and his purple eyes were full of vigilance.

"Hokage, this proposal sounds appealing, but in reality, it's just an attempt to bind us with Konoha's rules, isn't it?"

Despite the doubts and ridicule from the crowd, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not get angry.

He simply took a deep drag of his cigarette and then turned his gaze to Nishikawa Tetsu sitting next to him.

"Che, please explain this to the adults in detail."

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded slightly and stood up from his seat.

He ignored the oppressive gazes of Onoki and Ena, and calmly pressed the remote control in his hand.

On the holographic projection table in the center of the conference room, the image instantly changed. The map, which originally displayed the territories of various countries, was cut into several areas of different colors.

"Dear film enthusiasts, please allow me to use some more realistic data to explain this concept."

Nishikawa Tetsu's voice was steady, carrying a logical power that compelled listeners to listen.

He pointed to the vast yellow area that represented the Land of Wind.

"The Land of Wind has a vast territory, but more than 80% of it is desert. It is arid year-round and resources are scarce. Even though Sunagakure has the most advanced puppetry and poison techniques, it cannot change the objective fact that the common people do not have enough to eat. For you, war is about fighting for living space."

Granny Chiyo's eyelids twitched slightly. Although she didn't speak, her grip on her cane tightened. This was Sunagakure's greatest sore spot.

Then, Nishikawa Tetsu's finger moved toward the Land of Earth.

"The Land of Earth is surrounded by rocks, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, but this also results in extremely poor transportation. You possess abundant mineral resources, but the high transportation costs prevent you from converting them into actual wealth. Lord Tsuchikage, every time you mobilize a large army, the logistical supply lines alone must be enough to give you a headache, right?"

Onoki snorted coldly, but did not refute.

"The Land of Thunder is characterized by towering mountains and frequent thunderstorms, which has forged your robust physiques but also limited the development of agriculture."

"The land of water, isolated overseas, is rich in aquatic resources, but current policies have caused you to miss out on technological innovations on the mainland."

Nishikawa Tetsu's gaze swept over every figure present, finally settling on the green area representing the Land of Fire.

"Our Land of Fire is located in the center of the continent, with a pleasant climate and abundant resources. This is why the Land of Fire has always been the target of everyone's attacks and the main battlefield in every Shinobi World War."

"All this fighting boils down to four words: resource allocation."

Nishikawa Tetsu succinctly revealed the true nature of the Ninja World War.

"Since everyone is striving for survival and development, why must we resort to killing—the least efficient and most costly method—to acquire resources?"

Nishikawa Tetsu pressed the remote control again, and golden rays of light suddenly appeared between the different colored areas on the holographic map, tightly connecting the five great nations together.

"The so-called community of shared destiny in the ninja world is not about merging everyone, nor is it about making everyone abandon their armed forces."

"Instead, we will establish a cooperation framework based on economic complementarity and technology sharing."

This is the main event.

"Konoha possesses the most advanced infrastructure construction technology, such as the power grid, paved roads, and various civilian machinery that you have seen in the past few days."

"We can provide Sunagakure with cultivation techniques for drought-resistant plants and deep groundwater exploration equipment, and even help you establish an ecological barrier to prevent wind erosion and stabilize sand dunes; we can build tunnels and maglev trains for Iwagakure to transport your minerals at extremely low cost; we can help Kumogakure build large-scale lightning storage stations to convert dangerous thunderstorms into controllable clean energy; we can also provide Kirigakure with technical support for long-distance trade to break your isolation."

Nishikawa Tetsu's words were like heavy hammer blows to the hearts of the village leaders.

The conference room was unusually quiet, with only Nishikawa Toru's voice echoing in the background.

The rosy prospects depicted were incredibly tempting to the villages that had long been plagued by their geographical environment.

After some thought, Onoki realized that if Iwagakure's mineral resources could be transported out at low cost, Iwagakure's economy would experience a leap forward.

Chiyo was also thinking, what about windbreak and sand fixation? Deep groundwater? If these could be achieved, the common people of the Land of Wind would no longer have to suffer from hunger.

Even the Fourth Raikage, A, couldn't help but swallow hard.

Lightning-induced energy storage? This sounds much more plausible than their village's own wild guesses, but can it really be done?

"This...sounds really good."

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was the first to break the silence, his youthful face now filled with solemnity.

He glanced at the two advisors sitting to the right of the Third Hokage, and at the deep-set eyes of Uchiha Fugaku and Namikaze Minato.

"but……"

Yagura abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming extremely sharp.

"Would Konoha really be that kind?"

"After three Shinobi World Wars, when our blood was stained with blood, your Konoha suddenly jumps out and says you want to help us develop and share our prosperity?"

Yagura sneered, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Konoha has given so much, what does it want in return? Is it really just for so-called peace?"

This question voiced the thoughts of everyone present.

Onoki also stared warily at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "That's right! What exactly are you up to, you old fox? Are you trying to control us with these sugar-coated bullets?"

"control?"

Before the Third Hokage could speak, Nishikawa Tetsu suddenly laughed.

That smile revealed the shrewdness of a capitalist.

"My lords, you overestimate Konoha's ambition and underestimate the benefits involved."

Nishikawa Tetsu placed his hands on the table and stared directly at the figures.

"Konoha doesn't want to control anyone; Konoha just wants to... develop."

"We provide technical support and infrastructure construction, but this is not free. In exchange, each village needs to pay Konoha corresponding project fees, technology patent fees, or offset the costs with resources unique to their village."

"Furthermore, once the infrastructure is completed and trade routes between countries are opened, various civilian electrical appliances and daily necessities produced in Konoha will be continuously dumped into your market. At the same time, your country's specialties will also be sold to the Land of Fire."

Nishikawa Tetsu made no attempt to conceal Konoha's "greed".

"This is a process of making the pie bigger. Everyone makes money and lives a good life. When all countries are deeply intertwined in terms of economy, energy, and trade, to the point where we are all interdependent..."

Nishikawa Tetsuya paused for a moment: "Who would still start a war?"

"Losing a customer is like destroying your own cash cow. At that point, peace will no longer be just an empty agreement, but an impregnable fortress built with real gold and profits."

The meeting room fell silent once again.

As the film crew gazed at the golden lines representing wealth and profit on the holographic map, a storm of emotions surged within them.

They originally thought Konoha wanted to dominate by force, but they never expected that Konoha's ambition was even more terrifying than dominating by force.

Binding the world together through economics and technology?

This is a well-known trap, but it's filled with gold bricks, making it impossible to refuse.

Onoki looked at Nishikawa Tetsu, this seemingly unremarkable young man, whose few words seemed to have opened a door to a completely new world for him.

"An impregnable fortress built with self-interest...?"
