Surprised by Obsidian's keenness, Hyōjin looked at Obsidian with a surprised expression.
Obsidian curled his lips and said, "Don't look at me like that, I have suffered so many losses in your hands, even if I'm really a pig, I should have learned to be smarter by now!"
Hyōjin smiled and said, "Yes, letting you attack Rock Village and snatch the Rinnegan was indeed only part of my plan."
"Your goal is to let me regain the Rinnegan?" The Obtainer became serious, "You want me to regain the Rinnegan?"
"Yes."
Hyōjin nodded.
Obsidian was a little puzzled, "Then why do you want me to attack Rock Village? With your current strength, it should be easy for you to solve the other villages, there is no need to do this at all, right?"
"Solve the other villages?" Hyōjin paused and shook his head, "No, no, no, I'm doing this to preserve them!"
Obsidian was even more puzzled, "Preserve the other villages?"
Kuroto said, "If there isn't enough threat, then I don't even need to take action, the shinobi villages will slowly disappear, so I have to do something to keep them vigilant and maintain the necessity of their existence."
Obsidian asked in confusion, "Why? You can clearly unify the Shinobi World now and let everyone enjoy peace, why do you want to do this? "
Hyōjin glanced at Obsidian, "Peace?"
"Yes, you are now the strongest sage in the Shinobi World, as long as you are here, the Shinobi World can stay away from war and killing forever, there is no need for Shinobi Villages to exist anymore!"
Hyōjin shook his head.
Obsidian's face sank, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Unfortunately, the Shinobi World is not an isolated island!" After sighing with emotion, Hyōjin explained, "Your ideal of peace is indeed desirable, but for the shinobi world, absolute peace is a slow poison, it will castrate our fighting spirit, lower our vigilance, interfere with our judgment, and make us unable to resist the predators in the starry sky!"
The Obsidian asked, "Space pirates? You mean the Otsutsuki clan? "
Hyōjin nodded gently and then said, "If we are the only ones in the universe, the peace you yearn for is not impossible, but the reality is that we are only a small part of this universe. If we can't maintain enough competitiveness and vigilance, we will be completely wiped out, just like the lives on the planets destroyed by the Otsutsuki. Even the traces of our existence will be erased."
"Won't we be more competitive if we stick together?"
Hyōjin chuckled and said, "Just think about it, if I eliminate all disputes in the Shinobi world, would there still be any basis for the existence of Shinobi? If there is no battlefield as a stage to show their talent and a tool to test their diligence, how can the next generation of children prove themselves? Based on seniority? Naruto's son will continue to be Naruto's Shinobi? Jonin's son will continue to be a Jonin? "
Obsidian was silent.
He really hasn't considered this problem. Although the war has brought a lot of suffering to the Shinobi world, but for the ninjas, war is undoubtedly the fairest and quickest way to rise.
Without the Second Shinobi World War, there would be no Muye's Sanin. Without the Third Shinobi World War, there would be no Golden Flash's counterattack. Without the Akatsuki, there would be no Amatsukami like Hyōjin.
Competition is often the best catalyst for progress.
Hyōjin continued, "Before we completely master the interstellar travel technology and start a full-scale competition with Otsutsuki in the universe, I must maintain the necessary internal competition and a stage for the younger generation to show their talents. I can't let the Shinobi world become a pool of stagnant water! So even without you, I will create a new Akatsuki organization, create a new shadow over everyone's head, so that everyone will always be vigilant and get used to being vigilant! "
Obsidian wanted to say something several times but hesitated, "But the harm of war …"
Hyōjin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the previous war that involved several major countries and affected countless civilians will not happen again. Such a war is meaningless and will only increase hatred and destroy the production base of the Shinobi world. What I need is a local conflict, a controllable confrontation."
Unlike the idealists like Hashirama, Hyōjin is very pragmatic.
He needs confrontation and competition, but these are only in the service of the most critical technological progress, so he will control the intensity of the competition to avoid a fierce war like the previous few Shinobi wars.
In his plan, in the future, he will use the Land of Fire as the core and gradually use gentle means to gradually merge the surrounding small countries and the lonely Land of Water, and the entire ocean will be under his control.
Then, he will further compress the living space of the Cloud, Rock, and Sand Crypsis, and some rich areas of the Land of Thunder, Wind, and Earth will also be under his control.
While keeping these three Shinobi villages, they will completely lose the ability to launch a large-scale war, forcing them to transfer their funds from large-scale ninja training to elite ninja training and technology research and development.
They maintained this state of fighting without breaking, competing with each other and cooperating with each other.
In this way, not only can the geniuses and elites of both sides have a stage to show their talents, but also can let ordinary but talented children like Minato have a channel to rise.
It would also allow the researchers from both sides to have an arena where they could compete with each other's research results.
In short, Hyōjin needs Cloud, Rock, and Sand Crypsis to play the role of 'competitors' and 'pursuers', constantly spurring his subordinates, his researchers, and his descendants from behind.
When one day the Shinobi world masters the technology of interstellar travel and colonization, this role of 'competitor' can be played by the Otsutsuki, and the Shinobi world will be truly peaceful.
After a long silence, Obsidian asked, "Is it really necessary to do this? Is it really necessary to be vigilant all the time? "
Hyōjin said, "You should have heard about what happened at my wedding, right?"
Obsidian nodded, "Well, I heard about it!"
Kuroto chuckled and said mockingly, "But you probably don't know that I was so close to being erased by that Otsutsuki in the timeline, right?"
"What!?"
Obsidian was startled for a moment.
Hyōjin talked about the battle between him and Otsutsuki Urashiki through the noble phantasm 'Plow', and immediately asked, "Now, do you think it is necessary?"
