Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 572 Kakashi's Enlightenment of the Will of Heaven

Kakashi would definitely not adopt the method of killing simply to reduce the number of enemies.

This method is something even the Senju brothers couldn't do, let alone Kakashi.

It could even be said that Tobirama Senju entrusted the task to Kakashi precisely because he had discovered this unique solution but was unable to implement it himself.

The core issue is the act of having a bullying mentality, which in itself does not warrant the death penalty.

In addition, there are simply too many people with willpower.

When these two factors are combined, people with a moral bottom line can't bring themselves to do it, while those without a moral bottom line won't try to solve the bullying problem justly.

Even if, hypothetically, there really were someone willing to start a killing spree...

Killing so many people inevitably makes him a target as a major villain.

Konoha even has to actively protect those who possess the will of the Conqueror.

After waiting patiently for half a day, Kakashi received a reply.

Kakashi was already in despair when he saw the beginning of the letter.

"Even Bai Mo can't do anything about it, it's really over now..."

Kakashi selectively and directly ignored the only solution Bai Mo had provided.

With Kakashi's intelligence, after reading Bai Mo's plan, he understood that it wasn't a so-called deterrent, but simply a way to reduce the number of people killed.

Once you start, you can't stop, otherwise it's all for nothing.

The more you kill, the less of the will to dominate you becomes, but you can't stop new wills to dominate from emerging, nor can you reform the existing ones.

Because they have no fear of dying because of the will of the overlord.

It's as if those who died because of the will of the overlord would enter Valhalla after their deaths.

Although the only solution Bai Mo provided was unusable, Bai Mo still gave Kakashi a lot of direction and improvement in the back of the letter.

Only Bai Mo's clear description of the Will of Conqueror allowed Kakashi to fully understand the terror of this thing.

Poverty and lowliness cannot sway one, wealth and honor cannot corrupt one, and power and force cannot subdue one; these are only some of the reasons.

Even more terrifying is that the Will of Domination has completely merged with the Will of Fire.

Those who possess the will to dominate are even on the side of "justice".

Because in Konoha, those who are bullied will eventually do everything in their power to protect the village.

Therefore, bullying is essentially about passing on the Will of Fire and cultivating people to protect the village.

Upon seeing this, Kakashi fell completely silent.

Although Bai Mo's words were very fair and objective, without any personal bias, Kakashi couldn't help but glean a certain meaning from between the lines.

—How can you guys be so despicable?

Despite being bullied and mistreated, they still insisted on protecting the village.

From the perspective of the past, this is called a saint, greatness, and optimism.

But Kakashi now sees it from a different perspective, realizing that this is called indulgence and permissiveness.

Kakashi remembered something that Bai Mo had mentioned in the reform book he gave to Tsunade.

Objectively speaking, for a country, counterintuitively speaking, the revenge of a common man in a fit of rage, regardless of who it is directed at, even if it is directed at the government, is not actually disrupting stability, but rather maintaining it.

Revenge has always been a just cause, and that's the point.

It's like a boss who was killed for not paying wages. It might seem like not reporting it to the authorities would disrupt stability, but in reality, once this incident happened, other bosses who were owed wages immediately paid up, indirectly solving a lot of problems.

Conversely, if everyone chooses not to seek revenge but instead to slowly negotiate with the boss, it may seem like things are stable, but in reality, the problem is being suppressed and will eventually erupt one day in the future.

The same principle applies to the Will of Hegemony.

Even if we disregard the fact that the Will of Conqueror is unaffected by other effects and treat it as an ordinary entity, Konoha still faces significant problems.

Even if you are bullied but don't seek revenge or become completely corrupted, you will eventually protect the village.

—Looking at these conditions, if it were simply about protecting the village, Kakashi himself would be tempted to bully people.

Counterexample?

There are no counterexamples.

Bai Mo has already made it very clear in the letter.

If you think that Orochimaru, who initiated the plan to destroy Konoha, and Obito, who wanted the Infinite Tsukuyomi, are counterexamples, then you are sorely mistaken.

Even in Boruto, Orochimaru was redeemed and protected Konoha, didn't he?

Kabuto Yakushi was bullied by Konoha and controlled by Danzo to kill his adoptive mother with his own hands. In the end, didn't he become the director of an orphanage and choose to protect Konoha?

Needless to say, Obito is the most handsome.

These seemingly negative examples are actually positive ones.

What? You're saying Orochimaru and his group caused a lot of casualties before they were redeemed?

So here's the question.

For Konoha, was the collapse of Konoha the greater cause, or was the contribution of the Fourth Shinobi World War I: the resurrection of the Konoha F4 and the treatment of the Five Kage greater?

For these villains who want to be exonerated, they need to do something that goes beyond the mistakes they made in order to qualify for exoneration.

For a normal person, merits and demerits cannot offset each other.

But for the inheritor of the will of dominance, this is a worthwhile deal.

They were not afraid of death because of the backlash of the will of dominance. The casualties caused by these villains were just necessary sacrifices for them. In the end, they would protect Konoha again anyway.

In this distorted environment, even if a person is not an inheritor of the will of dominance, he will be gradually influenced and become one of the bullies.

After all, this matter is beneficial in every way, both publicly and privately.

That concludes Bai Moxin's message.

Kakashi's thoughts, however, wandered off because of this letter.

He suddenly understood why the original future ninja world had not changed.

Naruto's so-called chain to end hatred actually had a negative effect.

Forget about the endless cycle of revenge and the emptiness that comes with it; therefore, we should give up on revenge.

That's all nonsense.

Ancient emperors already told you: when will this cycle of revenge end? Why not just exterminate nine generations of your family? If that doesn't work, exterminate ten generations.

The idea that revenge will only leave you feeling empty is utter nonsense.

If I don't seek revenge, I'll feel uneasy every time I eat.

After the revenge is over, life will be much easier; you can enjoy life to the fullest and take a more relaxed view of everything else.

Naruto's "saintly nature," his resistance to revenge and his promotion of forgiveness, is precisely the core reason why his daughter is bullied, and why Sakura and her daughter are also bullied after he and Sasuke are half-dead.

Do not live by committing sins.

"Got it!"

Kakashi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped the only glimmer of hope.

According to Bai Mo, the Will of Hegemony already belongs to the category of supernatural tales; it is the will of Heaven and cannot be changed.

At the same time, Naruto is also the child of prophecy, and should be considered the core of the will of heaven.

At least until Boruto arrives, he is still the core of Destiny.

In other words, as long as Naruto is changed, the will of heaven can be changed and the will of the overlord can be reversed!
