"But the current situation is not very stable. Will the war continue to erupt?"
Uchiha Diqin's eyes widened, as large as two bronze bells, making Ronglin burst out laughing.
"It's not wrong to call you an idiot. Do you think it's calm now? You're wrong. This is just the calm before the storm. After the Second Shinobi World War, the national power of the major nations has gradually recovered. The outbreak of war is inevitable. The disappearance of the Third Kazekage is merely an excuse."
"Even if the Third Kazekage hadn't disappeared, there would still be other excuses. War wouldn't have come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet."
"You're the idiot!!!"
Uchiha Diqin pouted discontentedly, clearly feeling dissatisfied with this appellation.
However, after thinking about Ronglin's words, Uchiha Diqin was still full of confusion: "But how many families will be torn apart by the outbreak of war? How many ninjas will die on the battlefield? Why must war erupt? Can't we develop peacefully?"
"Development requires resources, and Konoha 13 occupies the wealthiest land. Do you think other countries will just watch Konoha continue to develop like this? If this continues, the gap in strength between the two sides will only grow wider and wider."
When it came to knowledge about war, Uchiha Diqin was a complete novice. Ronglin had no choice but to once again popularize knowledge.
"War brings not only various disasters, but also development. Sometimes, fighting a war to foster development is the best path to progress. Therefore, war is inevitable. However, the victorious nations and villages will gain greater benefits, while the defeated nations will suffer even more misfortune!"
The Second Shinobi World War caused Konoha's strength to decline considerably, but the Hidden Sand Village became even more miserable. Even the Daimyo angrily cut the village's expenses and even assigned some missions to Konoha to handle, forcing the Hidden Sand Village to tighten its belt and further reduce ninja expenses, proclaiming many ninjas as ordinary people, pushing them onto the elite path.
Although these Daimyo were all ordinary people, they couldn't withstand the fact that he had money in his hands!
And the development of a ninja village requires a large amount of funds, so they had no choice but to let those prominent families ride on their heads. Among the major nations, the most harmonious relationship between a village and its Daimyo was in the Land of Water. Other villages all had more or less problems.
Even Konoha couldn't avoid it. Fortunately, the conflict was not deep. Konoha's development funds were still the most among all villages. Without sufficient financial support, Konoha's development would also regress significantly.
"No war, no deaths. No anger, no soldiers. Everyone understands this principle. This is also inevitable. You don't need to worry about these things now. What you need to do now is to improve your strength as much as possible. Only when you become stronger will you be qualified to comment on these things, otherwise everything is just empty words."
"I understand."
Uchiha Diqin's mood was a little low. She also wanted her strength to surge quickly, but unfortunately, not everyone was called Uchiha Ronglin.
"Lord Uchiha Ronglin, Jiraiya, the General Commander, requests your presence."
At this moment, a communication ninja's voice came from outside the wooden house. Ronglin motioned for Uchiha Diqin to quietly cultivate inside the wooden house, while he went out for a moment.
"You go, I'll work hard."
Although Ronglin's ruthlessness had left her with an indelible memory, Uchiha Diqin still forced herself into a state of cultivation, trying not to think about those messy things. But some things were easy to say but difficult to do, such as Uchiha Diqin.
After Ronglin left, she always wanted to calm down, but the horrific images of the Hidden Sand ninjas brutally killed by Ronglin kept replaying in her mind. Especially the scene where Ronglin twisted the neck of the last Hidden Sand ninja, making her feel a chill down her spine.
"Uchiha Ronglin is here, so let the meeting begin."
In the command center where the General Commander was located, Jiraiya called out loudly, signaling Ronglin to sit beside him.
Ronglin, despite his suspicions, sat down, looking at the others. These people were all those who held power in their hands; otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to sit here for a meeting.
Ronglin's confusion was that he belonged to the type that could be moved at any time. Such a meeting had nothing to do with him, but Jiraiya unexpectedly let him participate.
Everyone who was supposed to come had arrived. Jiraiya, sitting in the main seat, began to speak: "Today's meeting is very simple. The Hidden Sand Village has increased a lot of reinforcements.
Among them, there is also a person, Rasa, a Kage-level powerhouse. This should be a move by Hidden Sand Village against Konoha. Besides these, they have also added a batch of puppet masters."
Most of the people present did not know Rasa, but this did not hinder everyone's high regard for this person. None of the Kage-level powerhouses were simple.
Besides Rasa, the Kage-level powerhouse, what was worth noting were those puppet masters.
During the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha suffered enough losses from these puppet masters, especially the puppet master corps led by Granny Chiyo.
Fortunately, with Tsunade present, who could easily create antidotes, casualties were minimized.
"I think we, 687, should apply to have Lady Tsunade transferred here?" One of the elite Jonin suggested.
Ronglin looked at the other party indifferently. He felt this guy was idiotic. The war hadn't even started, and you're already thinking about these things. And where does this leave Jiraiya?
If the relationship between Jiraiya and Tsunade was not good, the conflict would definitely erupt.
"I will consider this."
Jiraiya thought for a moment. He didn't agree or refuse, just said he would consider it. If someone with a bad temper were sitting here,
they definitely wouldn't be so easy to talk to, like Orochimaru and the like. Not ignoring you would be considered good; they would directly tell you, if you have the ability, you go invite them.
"What do others think?"
Although this suggestion was stupid, Jiraiya was not the kind of person who easily got angry. He merely replied indifferently that he would consider it, which was considered passing over the matter.
"I think we should build more strategic fortifications like fortresses and castles!!! At the same time, we should quickly investigate the number and strength of this batch of puppet masters. As long as we get this intelligence, we can also make targeted deployments."
Fortunately, not everyone was so stubborn. Some people could still come up with good ideas.
