Chapter 315 was just for my own amusement.
Ye Yu's words made the three people present seem thoughtful.
Even the most extreme Nagato wondered if their plan would really work.
Is it really possible to gather all the tailed beasts and control the entire ninja world in a war?
Yoru looked at Nagato and said, "Your idea is to control the most powerful weapons so that when trouble breaks out in the ninja world, you can step in and quell it. But the premise is that you must always ensure that you are the strongest in the ninja world."
"But it has now been proven that this premise does not exist. There is someone here who can wipe you out. When this person appears, how ridiculous your plan will seem."
Sasuke, who had been deep in thought, looked at Yoru with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth after Yoru pointed it out.
How did the conversation end up talking about him?
And what does it mean to be a person? Don't you have any idea how much better you are than me?
However, Sasuke did not interrupt Yoru at this moment.
Because this difference does not affect the conclusion of what Yoru said.
Nagato glared at Yoru, but Yoru's gaze remained calm, completely disregarding Nagato's anger.
Konan was a little nervous, even though she had never seen Yoru fight before, and even though Sasuke had been the one fighting just now.
Sasuke was much stronger than Nagato, but Yoru gave her a very powerful feeling.
He seems to be even stronger than Sasuke.
After all, Sasuke, who was as powerful as a god in her eyes, was standing quietly beside Yoru, listening thoughtfully.
What Konan didn't know was that Sasuke genuinely agreed with what Yoru said, or rather, he trusted Yoru very much.
Moreover, the difference in strength between him and Ye Yu was indeed enormous.
Konan looked at Yoru, her gaze slightly narrowed. "Who exactly is this guy? Why is it that when he's standing here saying these things, even Sasuke Uchiha can only stand aside, seemingly showing him great respect?"
"This guy can't be a simple character, right?"
Xiao Nan secretly wondered about Ye Yu's identity.
Nagato stared at Yoru for a long time before finally lowering his head. "So you mean to let the ninja world continue to fight like this?"
Although it was a question, it also meant that Nagato agreed with Yoru's words.
Yoru's expression remained calm as he looked directly into Nagato's eyes. "As long as ninjas exist, war in this world will never cease. In fact, you know better than anyone that as long as humanity exists, or as long as intelligent beings exist, there will never be lasting peace."
"It is already a very rare situation that people can only achieve regional peace or a general peace in the world. Since the end of the Third Shinobi World War, it has been the most peaceful period in the shinobi world."
"This is a time in the history of the ninja world when most people can live in peace, but instead of trying to maintain it, you are causing destruction everywhere."
"Even if there is a war in the ninja world in the future, it will be caused by you."
"If I were you, I wouldn't concern myself with the affairs of the ninja world. Instead, I would do my best to develop the power of the Land of Rain. Even if the Land of Rain cannot dominate the world, it should at least have the ability to protect itself. When other countries want to invade the Land of Rain, the Land of Rain should have the power to make them pay a huge price, or even risk annihilation."
"It's too late to say all this now. We will not let you off the hook for the damage you have caused to Konoha. Even with the fairest trial, you will be sentenced to death."
The act of annihilating tens of thousands of people in Konoha in an instant is extremely heinous, even in this world.
Nagato lowered her head, gritting her teeth, seemingly unwilling to accept defeat.
He tried countless times to deny Ye Yu's idea, but he found that unless he insisted on his own idea regardless of any reason, he could not deny what Ye Yu said.
"Could it be that what I've been insisting on all these years has actually been wrong?"
Is true peace truly impossible in this world?
Konan turned to look at Nagato and said worriedly, "Nagato."
Nagato remained silent for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter. "Hahaha! How ridiculous! I was actually persuaded by a brat. Jingwen Yeyu? I'll remember you. Yes, you're right. I was wrong from the very beginning. There is no such thing as eternal peace in this world, but I could have brought peace to the Land of Rain."
"This is also Yahiko's wish. There is no such thing as eternal peace in this world, but there is relative peace. What have I been doing all these years?"
Thinking about all these years, the Akatsuki organization has been causing trouble everywhere in the ninja world. They originally had great power and could have developed the Land of Rain very well, but now the Land of Rain can't even feed the entire ninja world. It's really ridiculous.
The people of the Rain Kingdom are starving, yet he, the leader of the Rain Kingdom, is still thinking about world peace.
They completely failed to notice that the most important thing for the Rain Country right now is to have enough to eat, and what does world peace or not have to do with them?
Not to mention, it was all just a dream.
Konan looked at Nagato with worry. Nagato's body had already had his chakra drained by the Gedo Mazo, and his physical condition was already extremely bad. In this state, she was afraid he wouldn't live much longer.
Nagato now thinks about the current state of the Land of Rain, and it is indeed not as good as it was during the time when Hanzo ruled.
At least during Hanzo's reign, the Land of Rain was able to have enough to eat after dealing with the invasions of other countries.
Moreover, because the Rain Country has a good level of technology, and is not short of water or arable land, and is free from war, the Rain Country can be self-sufficient and can be considered relatively wealthy.
The Rain Country's geographical location is rather awkward, situated between several major powers. However, as long as it possesses sufficient strength to prevent other major powers from using the Rain Country as a battlefield, it will develop well.
Indeed, apart from the Second Shinobi World War, when the Land of Rain was used as a battlefield, the Land of Rain's involvement in other Shinobi World Wars did not significantly affect its territory.
The Land of Rain could have developed very well, but after Nagato killed Hanzo, the Land of Rain was left so poor that people couldn't even get enough to eat. It was one thing for ordinary people to go hungry, but even the military force of a nation like the ninjas couldn't get enough to eat. This was a very shameful thing, even in the entire ninja world.
Even in the harsh conditions of the Land of Snow, it wasn't that awkward.
It should be noted that the entire Land of Snow is covered in snow all year round, yet the Land of Snow does not have a problem with food.
Even if the Land of Snow doesn't produce food, its economy allows it to import large quantities of food.
Not only has the Land of Rain's technology stagnated, but it has also lost the ability to make money. The only remaining funds in the country have been diverted by Nagato to the Akatsuki organization for operating expenses. And that's not enough; Kakuzu is also being asked to earn bounties.
Looking back on all this, Nagato felt that what he had done over the years had been a complete failure.
All those dreams, when recalled in reality, reveal how high the price of realizing them is, and how that dream was truly just a dream, an illusion, a self-indulgent dream.
