Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 29 Ruri's Doubts, Shingetsu's Guidance: The Ninja World Shouldn't Be Like Thi

"Kamizuki-kun, please wait."

Shen Yue turned around and saw Princess Liuli chasing after her alone, her long purple hair fluttering slightly in the breeze.

"Your Highness, is there anything else?" Shenyue asked.

Princess Liuli glanced behind Shenyue, then looked behind herself.

"You may all leave!" she waved away the maids on either side.

"Zhishui, Qingshui, Tieshu, you may all step down!" Shenyue instructed Zhishui, Qingshui, and Tieshu.

The three nodded and left.

Leave space for Shenyue and Liuli.

Liuli walked up to Shenyue.

"God Moon Lord, may I take a walk with you?" Princess Liuli asked softly, her red lips slightly parted.

"Okay!" Shen Yue readily agreed.

The two strolled casually through the attic of the daimyo's residence.

Finally, we arrived at a place with a three-story pavilion.

Liuli turned around, her white hands clasped in front of her.

Gazing into the distance.

Shen Yue's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Liu Li's profile.

Princess Liuli's skin was as white and smooth as jade, like fresh snow falling on fine porcelain, with a faint sheen.

Her hair was crystal clear, and her long hair was meticulously combed, parted straight down the middle, and fell to her cheeks. The ends of her hair were trimmed as neatly as if measured with a ruler.

It was the most classic Hime cut, which made her face look even smaller, and the lines of her jaw were delicately defined.

The magnificent palace attire she wore couldn't diminish her radiance in the slightest.

"How come I didn't look at this girl more closely before?"

"Could it be because I'm still too young and don't have that kind of mind?" Shen Yue muttered to himself. At this moment, he felt a strong urge to grow up.

"Kamizuki-kun, what do you think of this place?" Ruri's eyes darted around, looking up at the bustling yet impoverished capital city outside the mansion, and then at the distant ninja world, a place intertwined with war and poverty. Her voice carried a heaviness beyond her years.

"I'm done!"

"Oh no, I should say, it's hopeless, it's rotten to the core!" Shen Yue didn't hide anything and told the truth directly.

Upon hearing Shen Yue's words, a strange light flashed in her purplish-red eyes.

Then he burst out laughing.

"Pfft... Kamitsuki-kun, you're the first person to say something like that to me!"

"Your Highness is wise; I wouldn't want to lie to you!"

"However, if you don't like it, I can also say that the Land of Fire, under the leadership of its Daimyo, is getting better and better, far surpassing the other four great nations!"

"Amazing! Powerful! There's hope!"

"No need!" Liuli smiled and shook her head.

"I'm just disappointed. I'm disappointed in this world. Look at the Land of Fire; it appears prosperous on the surface, but in reality, the people are impoverished. There are frequent border clashes, powerful nations are vying for power, and smaller nations are struggling. The entire ninja world seems to be forever trapped in a cycle of killing and hatred. Most ninjas with power only use it for fighting. Do you think that in the future, a true strongman will emerge who can change all of this and break this suffocating cycle?"

"Is it really that difficult for everyone to understand each other and let go of hatred and greed?"

She spoke her heartfelt words that had been buried deep inside for a long time.

"This one?" Shen Yue raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected the princess to ask such a question.

"Change? Your Highness, forgive my bluntness, but the problems in the ninja world are fundamentally flawed. It has little to do with your talk of hatred and greed!"

"Oh?" Princess Liuli's eyes showed doubt and curiosity.

"Ninjas possess the extraordinary power of chakra, which should be a powerful tool for driving world progress, improving people's livelihoods, and even changing their own destiny. Think about it: ninjas who are proficient in earth-style techniques can easily dig canals, build dams, and level land; those skilled in water-style techniques can regulate the climate and irrigate farmland; and medical ninjutsu can save countless lives. If these powers were used for production and construction instead of endless wars and missions, the Land of Fire, and even the entire ninja world, would have been transformed long ago."

"But the reality is that ninjas are bound to a system of missions and killings, becoming tools for major powers to vie for supremacy. The potential for a leap in productivity brought by chakra is completely ignored, social structures stagnate, and wealth and resources are constantly lost in meaningless wars of attrition. This is not only a problem of the way of ruling, but more profoundly, the relations of production and the mindset have been completely distorted. Power is only used for destruction and struggle, rather than creation and sharing."

"Using killing to stop killing, war to stop war, ultimately the entire ninja world will be engulfed in a vortex of hatred!"

He looked at Ruri: "Therefore, true change doesn't lie in waiting for some savior-like powerhouse to appear, but in guiding power back to the right path. For example, we can try establishing new agricultural cooperatives centered around ninjutsu, allowing ninjas skilled in Earth Release and Water Release to help farmers improve the land and irrigation for a fee; we can form ninjutsu construction teams to quickly and cost-effectively build houses, roads, and bridges; we can develop civilian-use sealing techniques to store supplies and ensure logistics; we can even use genjutsu and certain ninjutsu for education and training, improving the overall quality of the population, developing commerce and agriculture, and researching scientific ninja tools!"

"Later, this system gradually spread throughout the world, and countries came together to do business, exchange goods, and change production relations, thus solving many problems!"

"Although there will still be hatred, war, slaughter, and greed, a large-scale ninja world war like this will not happen, and the common people will gradually become prosperous!"

Based on his limited understanding from his previous life and the actual situation in the Naruto world, Shen Yue spoke eloquently, outlining a blueprint for the systematic application of ninjutsu power to the economic and social spheres.

Although many details are still somewhat rough, its core idea is to transform ninjas from mere tools of war into drivers of social productivity.

"Using business to connect countries!"

"Relations of production?"

"Scientific Ninja Tools!"

"We don't expect to change human nature, but we can change the way we produce!"

"So that's how it can be done! What he said seems to make a lot of sense!"

Shen Yue's words, like lightning in the night, instantly cleaved through the fog in Princess Liuli's heart.

As she listened to Shenyue's story, her purple eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if she were seeing a completely different, hopeful future.

So, the ninja's powerful strength can be used in this way?

It turns out that many of the livelihood problems plaguing the Land of Fire might be solved in this unprecedented way?

So, the key to breaking the cycle may lie in changing our understanding of the use of power?

"God Moon Lord, I understand, I think I understand a little!" Princess Liuli's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. Her gaze towards God Moon was filled with an unprecedented brilliance, which was not just admiration, but also the joy of finding a like-minded person.

She took a deep breath to calm herself, her expression becoming extremely solemn: "Kamizuki-kun, thank you for your guidance. Please believe in me, and believe in the Land of Fire. From now on, I will do my best to promote and try the changes you mentioned. The road ahead may be difficult, but someone has to take the first step."

She bowed slightly and made a promise: "The future of the Land of Fire should not be one of conflict. I hereby assure you, God Moon Lord, and the Uchiha clan, that as long as I am here, as long as I can still influence this country, the Land of Fire will surely embark on a different path. At that time, I hope the Uchiha clan will become my strongest ally and collaborator."
