This world had been in constant turmoil since the era of Kaguya.
Almost periodically, it experienced a war that engulfed the ninja world.
Then went through a few years of rest and recovery, before continuing into the next round of war, like an endless cycle.
But also thanks to this continuous war.
The people of this world deeply knew the harm war brought to people.
They hoped more than anyone else that peace could exist forever.
But this is a ninja's world.
Once the world truly becomes peaceful, ninjas will lose their value of existence.
The Daimyos will no longer waste money feeding them.
And there will be no missions requiring their employment.
Ninjas losing their source of livelihood.
Either return to farming and do ordinary people's work, or become thieves and bandits.
Or even steal countries and become new masters.
This process will ignite new wars.
In other words, there are only two ways to achieve world peace.
One is to make the ninja profession disappear.
The second is to allow ninjas to have jobs during peacetime, to support themselves and their families, and obtain corresponding wealth.
However, putting aside how to make the ninja profession disappear.
Even without ninjas, ordinary people will still erupt in war due to interests.
It's just that the level of brutality would not be as severe as a ninja war.
Therefore, there is only one true method to achieve peace.
That is to allow ninjas to have jobs during peacetime and be able to support themselves.
Under the premise of guaranteeing everyone's interests, no one would refuse the long-desired peace.
This was Jokichi's method of bringing peace to this world.
Of course, this was just a general idea.
There were still many problems to be solved in actual implementation.
If they were to truly connect two worlds, and intended to form an employment relationship with the other world.
Then first, they had to unify the opinions of this world.
Otherwise, everyone would want to fight for more benefits for their own country and village.
They would probably end up fighting each other for more mission resources before even cooperating with the other world.
"Therefore, before truly connecting with other worlds, the ninja world must be unified, and all factions integrated."
Jokichi said calmly.
After a moment of silence, Konan was the first to raise a question.
"Leaving aside the issue of whether your visual prowess can increase by two levels, didn't you say earlier that you didn't want to unify the world?"
As her voice fell, Nagato also stared fixedly at Jokichi.
Waiting for his explanation.
"Ah, I don't want to at all."
Jokichi admitted frankly.
"It's tiring, boring, and cannot bring true peace to this world. It doesn't make me feel it has any meaning. Who would do such a thing!"
"But now you."
"It's different now."
Jokichi smiled lightly.
"I'm unifying for peace, not unifying to become a ruler. Moreover, I will only act as the executor, and will not take the position of the supreme ruler. I simply cannot imagine such a boring and tiring life."
"However, the Five Great Nations will not agree easily, right!"
Nagato said calmly.
"Even with the resources of another world as a temptation, they, considering themselves the strong, will still want to lead it themselves."
"So a final war of unification is inevitable."
"As expected, to usher in true peace, sacrifices must still be made!"
Nagato sighed.
"But you're from Konoha, right!"
Konan said hesitantly.
"You have many friends in your hometown, right? Are you going to make enemies out of them when the time comes?"
"How could I do such a stupid thing?"
Jokichi smiled lightly.
"Obviously, I'll let Kaguya take the blame!"
"..."
Konan and Nagato were both speechless.
So the first plan you mentioned was actually just a part of the second plan.
However.
"There's another question."
Nagato said.
"How can you be sure the world on the other side needs ninjas?"
"If, and I mean if, the world on the other side possesses powerful strength and ambition, then once the worlds connect, it will attract invasion and war, not a cooperative relationship."
"Hehe."
Jokichi chuckled lightly, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke.
"Before truly connecting the worlds, I will definitely go to the other party's world to observe for a while. Only if it's a world with demands will I open the connection."
"Moreover, I will only establish one traversal gate, and using this gate as the core, build a ninja and trade city. It will specifically undertake trade and employment cooperation with the other world, while also serving as a vanguard fortress to defend against invasion from the other world."
"If the other world doesn't need the power of ninjas, or if the power levels of the two sides are too disparate, then I won't establish a traversal gate, but will continue to search for the next world."
Jokichi's ideal cooperative worlds were One Punch Man, Black Bullet, Highschool of the Dead.
Most of these worlds had to face enemies other than humans.
They absolutely had no spare capacity to invade.
Worlds like One Piece were also okay.
Although such worlds had many ambitious people and destroyers, the power of ninjas was enough to resist them.
And the existence of the gate also limited the dispatch of large-scale armies and weapons.
Connecting with such a world would absolutely not trigger a world-class war.
But worlds like Dragon Ball or Gurren Lagann were typical examples of worlds he would absolutely not connect with.
Facing that kind of world, the ninja world would have absolutely no power to resist.
Even if the traversal gate limited the number of people crossing over.
They just had to send one overpowered guy over, and they could wipe out your entire family.
They might even study the traversal gate thoroughly and counter-establish a dimensional empire.
Connecting two worlds brought many other troublesome problems.
Jokichi only had a rough idea and had not thought of many areas.
Therefore, the three of them discussed with each other, considering the problems that might arise from connecting worlds.
After an unknown amount of time chatting, Jokichi yawned.
He looked out the door; it was already pitch black.
He stood up, stretched lazily, and spoke.
"There are too many problems to consider. Just the three of us, even if we discuss it until next year, we won't be able to cover every single one. It's better to gather a large number of professionals for a meeting after unifying the ninja world!"
"That's right."
Konan nodded in agreement.
"All of this plan is built on the premise that you can unify the ninja world and establish a gate to another world. If you cannot achieve the above two points, everything is just empty talk."
"Then, how should we act next?"
Nagato asked.
"Gather the core members of the Akatsuki organization, and let's slaughter them first. Those guys are real terrorists."
However, despite saying so, Jokichi still intended to give everyone other than Hidan a chance to choose.
Although they were all S-rank missing-nin and had committed various heinous acts.
Apart from Hidan killing for his Jashin faith, the others did not just kill randomly without reason.
If they could make a choice and put their skills and interests to proper use.
Jokichi did not mind giving them a way out.
If they refused, then he could send them to see the Sage of Six Paths.
