Chapter 521 Menma's interrogation, Naruto's silence

PS: There was a problem yesterday. There was no time code. I originally wanted to send a leave note, but then I forgot. I always thought I had sent a note asking for leave. When I uploaded the new chapter, I realized that I had not asked for leave. Really? I'm very sorry.

"Besides, I must have started the past few wars, right? Those guys who died in my hands must have been the ones I took the initiative to go to their ninja village to kill, right? Naruto?"

The expression on Menma's face became extremely cold.

"This...I..."

Words that choked me all of a sudden.

Naruto was momentarily speechless.

It was impossible to cover up the facts before him, let alone confuse black and white. Naruto was not a dark and dirty politician, he was just a little stupid and paranoid.

It's a good thing Menma didn't mention it.

Now that Menma had brought it up, Naruto thought carefully about it, and it seemed that the series of fights in the past were indeed not initiated by Menma.

It seems that they are just passively fighting?

When he thought of this, Naruto was just like in the original book when Nagato questioned the word peace of the five great nations in a cold and mocking tone, and his throat suddenly seemed to be blocked.

Nothing could be said.

Minato and Kushina on both sides also looked at each other and sighed softly in their hearts. Although in this world, there is no so-called right and wrong in the battle between country and country, Ninja Village and Ninja Village. No matter what, justice is like a joke.

But let’s be honest.

The side that passively fights can still gain the moral upper hand to some extent.

Menma and Mitsuyakumura currently have such a stance.

The meaning and effect are not great, but it can be used to gag people. Just like at the moment, Naruto, who claims to understand each other and use words to impress others, is obviously blocked.

In the original book, when Naruto was left speechless at the beginning, he was able to convince Nagato again later on. To describe it in two words - outrageous! !

The most important thing is that Naruto did not directly answer the questions asked by Nagato before. He just used some fake words and lines from the novel written by Jiraiya.

Some of them sound very passionate.

False and empty words such as "You should give up the idea of ​​asking me to give up" and "I firmly believe that the day when people understand each other will come".

No normal person with a strong mind can be persuaded.

However, Nagato looked completely shocked and was completely convinced by Naruto.

The moment Menma saw this clip when he was very young in his previous life, he was a little shocked even though he had no life experience. He really felt that Naruto was very perseverant and tolerant, but as he grew older, his experience After seeing his face wide, Menma felt that Naruto's words were too ridiculous.

Nagato is really too naive.

No wonder people get fooled.

should say.

In essence, people like Naruto, Jiraiya, Obito and even Madara and Hashirama are pure idealists.

Their minds are full of all kinds of innocent thoughts.

Menma is not Nagato.

The path he believed in, the path he wanted to take.

As the great man said, political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Peace is created by fighting, not by negotiating.

Not to mention that this can also realize his original strong revenge intention.

Killing two birds with one stone, why not?

"What? Or do you think that I, Uzumaki Menma, should just surrender to the enemies who came to capture me, kill me, and destroy the Hidden Light Village? Do you think I deserve to be killed? Is that what you mean? Naruto? When faced with being bullied by others, your attitude is that we cannot fight back. When someone slaps you, you have to put the other half of your face in front of you and let others slap you again with a smile. Is this what you call mutual understanding? Is that really funny! Namikaze Naruto!"

Menma looked at Naruto with mocking eyes.

"Me? This? That?"

Speechless scene.

This was obviously not a conversation that Naruto had expected from the beginning.

You must know that before this, Naruto really thought that his brother was completely immersed in the pleasure of revenge with power, and wanted to kill everyone he disliked. The subsequent attack on Konoha Hidden Village was even more... It was him seeking revenge for what he had been through over the past twelve years.

Naruto always felt that it was right and just to stop his brother.

It is to maintain peace in this world.

But now I hear it and see it this way.

It seems that everything is not what he imagined.

"Now? Naruto? Can you tell me? Is this how your so-called justice, so-called peace, and so-called mutual understanding come from?"

Menma just looked directly at Naruto.

There was no concealed sense of ridicule.

Naruto opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything. Even if he was as innocent as Naruto, it would be impossible for him to say such words that he would be beaten passively.

Even if you want others to understand you.

The prerequisite is to defeat the opponent first.

In the original work, Nagato is like this.

The same goes for Obito.

The same goes for Sasuke at the end.

It's just that Naruto himself didn't really realize this. He really thought that he was relying on his sincerity to impress others.

Completely forgotten, without strength.

The so-called sincerity is a joke.

"But at least it can't be like that... like that..."

Naruto held it back for a long time, wanting to say something, but he always felt that the words did not express what he meant, as if no words he chose were enough to express his true thoughts. He just felt that he was stupid, and never felt that It's simply because I have absolutely no room for rebuttal.

The plot of convincing Nagato.

It's already outrageous enough.

It was completely a task that Nagato had to move himself and conquer on his own to complete. Now he was facing the ultimate realism Menma.

What is Naruto going to do to convince him! ?

The answer is obvious.

no way.

"What's that like? Naruto, don't you mean to say that after I defeated the enemy, I have to be merciful and let them live? Then wait for the other side to be ready and continue to catch me and kill me. ? You are stupid, don't take me with you. This will not bring peace. It will only make the enemy infinitely more rampant. It will only make others feel that you are weak and can be bullied, thinking that you don't dare to kill at all. They just will. Aren't you a living example of pushing yourself too far? I've let you go over and over again, but you just don't care at all? You still come to trouble me, your brother, again and again. Whether you admit it or not, we all We are brothers, how can you be like this? If it weren't for the sake of your parents, I would have killed you, Naruto, just accept your ridiculous and pitiful thoughts and open your eyes. Take a good look at this world. Before we were born, were the countless ninjas who died uncounted? This world has never been peaceful! Got it.”

Menma said sternly with extremely cold eyes.

"No, the first generation has achieved true peace. In the past few decades, as you said, there has never been real peace. That is because the world has lost a great man like the first Hokage. The former first generation is The five major countries have truly understood each other and have been at peace for a long time, right? You have to admit this peace, right? And now you can use it just like the first generation. To create a true peace, just like we did decades ago, Menma!”

It was as if he had grasped the last straw of hope for survival in a desperate situation.

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind.

Naruto, who had lowered his head subconsciously and remained silent, suddenly raised his head, looked at Menma with a very serious and slightly excited expression and shouted loudly.

The theory that the first Hokage - Senju Hashirama is now Naruto is the biggest, it can even be said to be the only 'argument'.

Regardless of the issue between Senju and Uchiha.

It is still a problem between the next five major countries.

At least judging from the results.

Hashirama has indeed achieved ‘peace’.

But this peace is a peace that needs to be enclosed in double quotation marks.

It's not even the kind of peace that Naruto talks about.

Menma had already expected that Naruto would make an issue of Hashirama's existence.

At the moment, he just smiled coldly, and then replied unhurriedly: "The peace created by the First Hokage? Let's not talk about anything else. Do you really think that the peace created by the First Hokage is what you want? That kind of thing? Naruto?"

"what do you mean?"

Naruto's heart skipped a beat and he had a very bad premonition. He looked at Menma even more nervously and asked.

"What do I mean? What you call mutual understanding and peace of letting go of hatred for each other, the First Hokage has never done it at all. Let me ask a question so straightforwardly, Naruto, if the First Hokage is not a ninja God, he didn't have enough power to overwhelm the entire ninja world at that time. Do you think that the so-called peace can still be achieved? Whether it is Uchiha Madara earlier or the other four countries behind him, can he really fight with that? Would you like a Senju Hashirama to sit down and have a good conversation?"

Menma's eyes narrowed slightly and he spoke word by word.

And the words that were spoken.

Let’s not talk about Naruto first.

Minato's heartstrings tightened slightly.

Kushina subconsciously glanced at her husband again, and the moment Minato sensed it, she shook her head slightly with a wry smile.

He really didn't expect that his eldest son could really see and understand so many things.

Even though Minato looked like a sunny boy.

But in fact.

Minato had never been an idealist.

If you have to dig into the details, besides Minato's personality not being like Tobirama, in many places, he is somewhat close to Tobirama.

This is why it is said that if Minato can successfully take charge of Konoha and continue to do so, Konoha will definitely undergo qualitative changes.

This is the second 'Tobirama' of Konoha Hidden Village.

Menma just raised the head, and Minato was able to fully understand the deep meaning inside.

Only Naruto still looked confused, feeling as if he had grasped something vaguely, but still missed the meaning a little bit.

"Why not? The first generation is..."

"What is that? Do you really think Senju Hashirama relied on words to impress Madara Uchiha and convince the first Kage of the four great ninja villages at that time? Haha, are you really so naive? Is it so ridiculous? Naruto? Then Okay, let me put it another way and say that between us two brothers, if you can really convince me with words without defeating me, then only then can you prove that your idea is correct, Naruto, do you understand? ?”

As if he heard a big joke, Menma waved his right hand suddenly, directly interrupting Naruto's words, and said in a cold tone.

"To put it bluntly, the reason why the first Hokage was able to create so-called peace is because he was strong enough to defeat Madara Uchiha, and strong enough to make the four major countries dare not easily start a war. Only then did he have the qualifications to talk about peace. , have the ability to impress others with sincerity. Just like what you said three years ago, even if you break my and Sasuke's legs, you will take us back. Isn't that the power of Chi Guoguo? Claim it! ? Naruto, you, and Senju Hashirama, are you different from those of us who only use strength to solve all problems?"

Menma snorted coldly, and every word he spoke was like a sharp blade, piercing into Naruto's heart.

"Is there no difference between you and me?"

Naruto's expression couldn't help but change, and he subconsciously took two steps back. His heart, which had finally been firmed up before, received a huge impact at this moment, and was completely shaken. There was an obvious expression in his eyes. A look of confusion appeared.

"Moreover, even if you take a step back, the peace achieved by Senju Hashirama is exactly what you think. It really moved and infected everyone with sincerity, making the group at that time come from all over the world, different The people of the country have recognized your concept of peace, but in the end this kind of peace has been proved to be just a short-lived peace of that generation. Even if your grades in cultural classes are extremely low, you should still remember the first time. When will the Ninja World War break out, Naruto?"

Menma asked further aggressively.

"Yes... yes... it was when the first generation passed away..."

Under Menma's questioning eyes.

Naruto has completely lost the initiative in the conversation. No, it should be said that he never had the initiative in the first place.

"Yes, as soon as the First Hokage died, the Ninja World War broke out. What does this mean? It means that the so-called peace of various countries is based on the existence of the First Hokage, and it is almost 100% certain that all The Ninja Villages of various countries did not dare to start a war because of the power of the First Hokage. Therefore, as soon as he died, the Ninja World War broke out. What's the point of such peace? You want to follow the same path as the First Hokage? Even if you succeed in the end, as long as the structure of the ninja world does not change, war will still come when you die. You are just following the wrong path that the first Hokage has proven. "
