Chapter 512 Debate
In the spacious and magnificent hall, the expressions of the crowd varied, like a vibrant yet contradictory painting unfolding before them. The young people were all spirited and full of vigor, their faces radiating eager excitement, their eyes revealing a thirst for and anticipation of the impending war. Clearly, these energetic youths were impatient to throw themselves into the fray, to display the formidable strength they had accumulated through years of diligent training, and to prove their worth and achievements.
However, the older generation, who had lived through the tumultuous years of the Ninja World War, presented a stark contrast. Their brows were furrowed, and a faint cloud of worry hung over their faces. That devastating war of the past, like a horrific nightmare, was deeply etched into their memories. The scenes of corpses strewn across the battlefield, rivers of blood, were still vivid in their minds, chilling to the bone. Having witnessed such cruelty, their hearts were filled with fear and disgust for war, and they absolutely refused to experience that hell on earth again.
Two diametrically opposed opinions will inevitably spark different perspectives and opinions, varying in depth and breadth. Among them, the most outstanding members of the younger generation—the youth army led by Hyuga Neji—undoubtedly hold the most radical and daring ideas. These energetic and ambitious young people are eager to personally participate in that thrilling Shinobi World War.
For Hyuga Neji and his companions, this war was not merely a contest of strength, but also an excellent stage to showcase themselves and prove the formidable power and profound heritage of their training grounds. They firmly believed that their valiant performance on the battlefield would allow people from other ninja villages to witness firsthand the unparalleled power of their training grounds, thereby inspiring awe and reverence in them.
Furthermore, these passionate young people believed that the traditional chakra training system was outdated and could no longer meet the demands of today's rapidly changing world. In contrast, the cultivation system demonstrated a more advanced, efficient, and powerful aspect. Therefore, they were determined to use this Shinobi World War to promote the cultivation system throughout the entire shinobi world, making all shinobi understand that the traditional chakra training method should be completely abandoned, and replaced by the more advantageous cultivation path.
In the hearts of Hyuga Neji and the other young warriors, the training grounds were not merely simple places for practice, but sacred halls embodying countless hopes and dreams, a spiritual refuge for all who yearned to enhance their strength. They hoped that through their efforts, the training grounds would become an irreplaceable sanctuary of training and a place of eternal faith in everyone's heart.
Those older figures, like Hiashi Hyuga, who still steadfastly adhered to the ancient chakra training system, showed clear opposition to the radical ideas proposed by the younger generation. These experienced individuals were well aware of the unparalleled superiority and astonishing power of the cultivation system. However, how easy was it to simply replace the chakra training system, which had been passed down for millennia in the ninja world, with the cultivation system? Not to mention, the other ninja villages would likely find it extremely difficult to readily accept this entirely new training system from their training grounds. Especially when this change touched upon the vested interests of those within their own ranks who had long been immersed in the traditional chakra training system, a fierce conflict might be inevitable. This would undoubtedly create numerous obstacles to the widespread adoption of the cultivation system, making its implementation increasingly difficult and arduous.
Amidst the heated discussion, some firmly believed that it was unwise to rush into this smoke-filled, bloody war. They advocated a gradual approach, advancing the plan step by step. Perhaps, by joining the battle in a dramatic and impactful manner when it was nearing its end, they could achieve unexpected results.
Imagine a time when war rages on and all forces are exhausted, and the warriors of the training grounds descend upon the battlefield like divine soldiers. They display unparalleled strength and skill, instantly turning the tide of battle. At that moment, all ninjas will regard these people from the training grounds as saviors of the world, filled with awe and gratitude.
Once this situation is established, promoting the superiority and power of the training grounds becomes effortless. Ninjas from other villages will naturally be drawn in, eager to understand and learn this new training system. Over time, this training system will gradually replace the traditional chakra training system, becoming the preferred path for ninjas seeking power.
Of course, achieving this ambitious goal will not be a quick process; it will require a great deal of time and effort. However, it is precisely because of this slow but steady approach that conflict and resistance can be minimized, ensuring the smooth progress of change. After all, any overly radical move could trigger unnecessary chaos and resistance. Therefore, although it will take a long time, as long as we persevere, we will eventually achieve a peaceful and successful outcome.
Orochimaru sat there quietly, listening to the heated debate among the crowd. His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing an unfathomable expression, as if he were deep in thought.
The atmosphere in the arena was incredibly tense. The young people passionately articulated their views, their voices high-pitched and urgent. They firmly believed that the cultivation system possessed immense potential to swiftly and accurately replace the chakra system, which was now considered outdated. These young people were full of passion and drive, eager to spread the advanced ideas of the training ground throughout the entire ninja world as quickly as possible, making it a truly sacred place.
However, the older generation held a more stable and conservative attitude. They advocated a gradual approach, promoting change in the smoothest and most peaceful way possible. The older generation understood that any hasty action could cause unnecessary chaos and conflict, and therefore hoped to slowly guide the ninjas to accept the new training system, allowing it to naturally become the common choice for everyone.
Orochimaru silently observed the debate, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He understood that both the younger generation's radical proposal and the older generation's gradual approach had their own rationality and feasibility. But how should he choose to ensure the long-term development of the training grounds while avoiding turmoil for the entire ninja world? This question lingered in his mind for a long time…
On the other hand, Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Kanan's prized student, was filled with a deep longing and eagerness to participate in this war. He had once made great strides on his training path thanks to his exceptional talent and relentless efforts, but now he found his progress becoming unusually slow, as if he had hit a bottleneck that was difficult to break through.
For the proud and ambitious Hyuga Neji, who pursued ultimate power, this was undoubtedly a tremendous torment. However, the predicament did not defeat him; instead, it ignited his fighting spirit even stronger. He knew that only through the tempering of actual combat could he break the current stalemate and achieve a qualitative leap in strength. Therefore, he couldn't wait to throw himself into this fierce battle, watering his path to growth with blood and sweat.
Beyond this, Hyuga Neji had deeper considerations. He knew that his clan's heritage was profound and extensive, and if it could demonstrate its power in this globally significant war, it would undoubtedly attract the attention and importance of the entire ninja world. In this way, not only would the world accept the Daoist tradition more quickly, but the training ground where he and his master trained would also be transformed into a sacred place revered by all. As the most outstanding disciple of his teacher, Hyuga Kanan, Hyuga Neji also bore the heavy responsibility of promoting his master's teachings and spreading the doctrines.
He dreamed that one day, the lineage established by his teacher would spread rapidly throughout the entire ninja world, replacing the old order and becoming the new faith that ruled this continent. At that time, his teacher would not only be an ordinary strongman, but a legendary figure who led the trend of the times, looking down on all living beings like a god, and being admired by thousands!
Moreover, since that thrilling, life-or-death battle, Orochimaru-senpai has undergone a complete transformation, and his rapid increase in strength is simply astonishing! This change has put unprecedented pressure on Hyuga Neji, a boy who has always been regarded as a prodigy.
You must know that Hyuga Neji was a prized student carefully cultivated by Hyuga Kanan, a highly respected and skilled mentor! He knew that he carried the earnest expectations of his teacher and the honor of his clan, so how could he easily admit defeat? Therefore, he was eager to unleash his hidden energy through fierce battles, to achieve a breakthrough, and to test the profound skills he had accumulated over the years.
Hiashi Hyuga frowned, a strong sense of unease rising within him. As the head of his clan, his understanding of war was profound. The endless slaughter, bloodshed, and destruction haunted his mind like a nightmare.
He was acutely aware of the cruelty and danger his family would face once they were drawn into the massive meat grinder of war. How could his people, who had finally achieved a peaceful life, be easily dragged into this bottomless abyss? However, faced with the current situation, he was caught in a dilemma.
On one hand, he was unwilling to push his family, which he had worked so hard to protect, to the front lines of war; on the other hand, if the war ended in the defeat of the Allied Shinobi Forces, would the place where his family had always relied on for survival and training still be able to be passed down safely? Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
