Ninja Ice House

Chapter 554 Partnering up

In the social and cultural sphere, rewarding good and punishing evil is almost the bottom line for maintaining order. This ironclad rule remains unchanged; what changes are the standards for good and evil.

Ordinary people in the ninja world are too weak, while ninjas are too strong. The difference in their ability to compete for survival and interests is vast. While alive, they can't change anything, but after death, how is that defined?

We can't just keep using the old system, can we?

"The chakra reincarnations of Indra and Asura are indeed somewhat 'out of line,' according to your view. But if 'unplanned' reincarnations are not allowed, and every independent intelligent life has the possibility of reincarnation under the blessing of the six realms of reincarnation, then the situation is different."

"Not only intelligent life, but ordinary living beings also deserve the same treatment?"

"You mean..."

This time, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was genuinely surprised.

"Are all those flowers, birds, insects, fish, jackals, tigers, and leopards included?"

"if not?"

Gu Shanbu shrugged and said with a smile,

"Is it a bit unfair that someone who does good deeds in life is reborn as a human being, while someone who commits heinous crimes is reborn as a human being?"

"Then...if that's the case..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki analyzed herself,

"Fear of the afterlife, a sense of awe, greatly reduces chaos, improves the efficiency of worldly operations, and lowers the cost of adjustment. This seems like a good thing!"

Just like road traffic, if everyone is required to drive on the right, and this becomes a common practice and the rule is established, the speed of traffic will definitely increase significantly, and the chance of traffic jams will decrease accordingly.

"But will Yu Yi agree?"

"The ninja world can't maintain such a high level of configuration. According to the standards of low martial arts, medium martial arts and high martial arts, it barely qualifies as medium martial arts. Only a very few top experts can be called high martial arts experts."

Only mythical powers like those from the primordial era, the Investiture of the Gods, or the later stages of Dragon Ball, which could destroy the world at any moment, meet the standards of high-level martial arts.

"We definitely need to have a match first to prove that we are all 'players' of the same level, qualified to compete on the same stage and negotiate on an equal footing. Otherwise, what's the basis for it?"

The power of words is weaker than that of swords before they are verified. The Sage of Six Paths could even kill his own mother and seal her away without hesitation. How could he be so easy to talk to outsiders?

Your justice is justice, and his justice is also justice. As for whose justice is more "just," we'll just have to fight it out.

From a normal person's perspective, while Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha were certainly too idealistic and naive to believe in the nonsense about the Infinite Tsukuyomi because they were fooled by Black Zetsu, it was also because their strength was so great that their so-called "delusions" were not so unattainable. At least they both achieved the status of "Ten-Tails Jinchuriki," truly evolving from human bodies into true "god-like" bodies and gaining the power to change the world.

If it weren't for the "chosen ones" intervening, they would have had a very good chance of achieving their goal.

Even Nagato's apparent plan to collect the nine tailed beasts, create an infinitely powerful deterrent, and forcibly end the war in the ninja world seems useless in the long run, but in the short term it can forcefully push down the so-called "peace".

This is similar to the historical position that Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were in back then. However, Nagato would not choose to redistribute the nine tailed beasts to the five great ninja villages to achieve any balance of power. As it turns out, this approach is completely ineffective.

"The ninja world is actually an ecosystem built on a rather cruel elimination mechanism. It's a matter of natural selection and survival of the fittest. With the support of extraordinary power, it exhibits the characteristic of 'survival of the strong,' because to a large extent, 'the strong' are 'the fittest.' But it's not absolute. For example, those extraordinary sages from the three great summoning beast holy lands are strong, but they are not fittest in the ninja world. Humans are the true masters of all things..."

The current perspectives of Kosugi Bokusui and Otsutsuki Kaguya are essentially the same: to make the ninja world more prosperous, produce more fruits of the Divine Tree, and continuously elevate the power level of this world. Naturally, their own growth potential will also increase accordingly. Otherwise, like the Otsutsuki clan, they would become Star Hunters, hunting and reaping world after world without end. Perhaps one day, while conquering a seemingly insignificant but actually dangerous world, they would capsize, just like Otsutsuki Kaguya now, who has to rely on others for help to revive.

Farming is a relatively safe option, while hunting is not very reliable and is also dangerous.

Moreover, the ninja world is not bad either, with great potential. A thousand years ago, Kaguya Otsutsuki was reluctant to let go and was willing to rebel against the "protected one" to eat the fruit of the God Tree. After Hagoromo Otsutsuki and his younger brother sealed their mother Kaguya Otsutsuki, they did not leave but stayed to repair the wounds of the ninja world. After their natural death, they even took the initiative to go to the Pure Land to guard it.

We don't know how well other people's crops are growing, but our own fields are quite fertile. With just a little effort, we can have enough to eat. Why bother going out to compete for food?

Protecting this small corner of the ninja world is more important than anything else.

Kosugi Bokusui wasn't trying to steal the Sage of Six Paths' position; he just wanted to make the pie bigger so everyone could get a bigger slice, not to take what others had or disrupt the existing order.

The key questions are whether Kaguya Otsutsuki, the ousted "former chairman and founder boss," can make a comeback, whether Furusugi Bokusui's plan to bring in capital will come to fruition, and whether the current honorary chairman, Rokudo Sage, is willing to accept "venture capital."

"Let's deal with Itachi and Jiraiya first. These two have lost the power of fate, but they have a huge influence on Naruto and Sasuke. They may become two good 'cards' in the future."

While Sakon and Ukon lack the strength, they are sufficient to care for the nearly exhausted Uchiha Itachi; they just need time and resources to nurture him. As for Jiraiya, Furuya doesn't need to worry too much. Kaguya Kimimaro is extremely powerful, with her direct combat ability, especially her taijutsu, almost reaching the theoretical limit. Combined with the Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit, she is a human fighting machine.

Perhaps he couldn't defeat Jiraiya head-on, but whether the "Toad Sage" in the dream world had reached the peak of his strength is still unknown.

Moreover, Kaguya Kimimaro was only the main force; he wasn't the only one taking action. If necessary, Haku, Togakure Hijiri, Karin, and others could also lend a hand. Tsunade couldn't just sit idly by; with so many Jonin masters in Konoha, she wouldn't be afraid to show weakness in such a situation.

In terms of overall strength, Konoha Village truly deserves its title as the overlord of the ninja world.
