Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

(Today's 7k+, bragging a little bit, although the dialogues are all logically related, the plot is a bit dragged out and it was painful to write, but it will be better after this part. If there is another large-scale battle later... the trailer shows that there will be a Shukaku dungeon! But this will be after the Nine-Tails Rebellion hiahiahia~)

"After all, you don't understand what war is. This is not a game, and it's certainly not something that children like you should get involved in."

There was a long silence.

Kakashi really couldn't stand Ye Cang's pretending to be deep expression.

Row!

That's half the story, right?

Obviously, the other person should be only a few years older than him, and even younger than Minato Sensei.

But he had to put on an air of being mature and serious.

Not only did it look awkward, but he only said half of the sentence, making it so confusing that it was impossible to make any sense.

Invisibly whetting people's appetite...

This will make you look stupid.

Both of them remained silent and stared at Ye Cang's face.

He seemed to be waiting for her to speak, and finished his words consciously.

Ye Cang glanced sideways and saw the expressionless and cold looks of the two men. He seemed to be angry and didn't say a word.

You guys are asking questions...

How should I answer if you don’t ask me!

Ye Cang bit his lip and felt his face getting hot from being stared at.

It seems like I'm being laughed at...

"Ahem...I wonder what you think, sister?"

Just at this moment, a gentle voice came from the side.

Mei Terumi covered her lips with the back of her hand, with a smile in her eyes.

This big sister... is really interesting!

Ye Cang cast a grateful look at Terumi Mei who pulled him out of the predicament.

"It's a long story. We have to start from the various Ninja Wars and even the chaotic period..."

"and many more!"

Kakashi couldn't sit still any longer and laughed, "What kind of complicated reasons do we need to go back decades?"

In fact, he was very curious.

But what I'm curious about is the reason why the Sand Village ninjas killed their benefactors, allies, and "collaborators" who shared the same suffering under the circumstances.

This is illogical in any way, but the other party did it anyway.

His intuition told him that this might be a very exciting journey.

But if this alone needs to be traced back decades ago...

Isn't it intended to confuse the public?

"What do you think were the several ninja wars since ancient times?" Ye Cang just glanced at him indifferently.

This seemed like a question, but in fact I didn't expect him to be able to answer it.

In fact, Kakashi really couldn't answer it.

The cause of the war...what was it for?

Kakashi only knew that as a ninja, it was his duty to follow orders and stop the invading enemy.

In order to protect the village on which they depend for survival, they must kill the enemies in front of them one by one.

He has been doing this since World War III, and his father also did this during World War II.

As for this question, Kakashi didn't think it was necessary to consider it.

Anyone who threatens the safety of the village will be killed!

But Ye Cang gave her answer at this moment.

“All of them are just trying to plunder resources and land.

"As the first and most powerful ninja village, Konoha has enough resources to make all countries jealous. This is the root of trouble and war. Once Konoha is not as strong as it used to be, former rivals will come knocking on its door, all for the sake of resources."

Ye Cang suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, but it was unclear what the smile meant.

"You may find it funny. From your perspective, you may think that our actions are really biased. After all, what we did was not an upright thing.

"But have you ever thought about why some flowers can grow in fertile soil, while others can only struggle to survive in the wind and rain or in the cracks of rocks?"

Kakashi frowned, as if he had vaguely sensed something.

In Konoha, there are the prosperous Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan, etc., but there is also the Hatake clan of which he is the only one left...

Compared with the former, he is nothing more than a weed in the mountains and forests.

He had dreamed of the former, but Hatake's last name would not change.

This is fate...

"I have never been to Konoha, but as for the current Kirigakure, it is much better than our Sand Village. Kakashi, do you know what Sand Village is like?"

I have no idea......

But it is said that...

Kakashi couldn't speak.

Ye Cang looked at the latter with contempt.

It was a barren desert.

"If you don't understand the hardships we've gone through, how can you understand the difficult decisions we've made with such great difficulty? The so-called ideal of peace that your Hokage pursues only exists in Konoha. You don't consider the situation of other countries. Such 'peace' is too narrow.

"You want to protect everything you have, while we are just lamenting the unfairness of fate and trying to fight for a better life...

"For this reason, Sunagakure and Konoha are bound to be enemies. Even a short-term alliance is only forced by the situation and is only to avoid greater sacrifices.

"Now do you understand why I want to attack you?

"Konoha cannot have true allies. No party will sit idly by and watch Konoha become stronger. Weakening Konoha is the consensus of all countries. Only in this way can our future generations have the possibility of a better life.

“This is a fundamental conflict of interest that will never change…

"It just so happens that I ran into you. From the perspective of Sunagakure, as a tool for Sunagakure to exchange for peace, facing someone like you who may become a big trouble in the future, I know very well how to maximize my value..."
