Let the world feel pain from now on

In the distance, the White Zetsu army has begun to take over the remaining population of Konoha.

Those who were injured were treated by Bai Zetsu, who specialized in simple medical ninjutsu.

The ninjas, on the other hand, had their weapons removed from their hands and ninja tool bags on their bodies, and their chakra was sealed using sealing techniques, and they were placed under guard along with the ordinary people.

Next, Bai Jue began to distribute food and drinking water to them, but he didn't treat them harshly.

All this was going on in an orderly manner, and the Konoha people who had lost all their SAN points after being shocked by Naruto's previous display of power had no intention of resisting at this time and were extremely cooperative.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was trapped in Infinite Izanami and unable to extricate himself, and was protected by the ninjas, was also brought to Naruto by a White Zetsu.

Hashirama and Madara, as well as Tobirama and Mito, who had come to their senses, quietly watched everything happening in front of them.

At some point, Minato came to Naruto with Kushina and Tsunade, who was sent away before the war started.

"Naruto, can you tell me why you want to destroy Konoha?"

Hashirama glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen lying on the ground with complicated eyes, then focused his eyes on Naruto and asked.

Although Hashirama was angry at first because of the destruction of Konoha, as he calmed down, Hashirama discovered that there might be more deep-seated reasons behind it that he didn't know.

The Naruto in front of him did not have the darkness of being an avenger, nor was he hysterical like crazy. Instead, he was just calm and rational.

Those Konoha people who are still alive prove that he is not a demon king who wants to destroy the world.

If it were before, Hashirama would have thought that Naruto, as the son of the Fourth Hero, would be treated very well, and that he should not and could not do such a thing to Konoha, but now he is not so naive.

Even his Senju family and Madara's Uchiha family were beaten to extinction by Hiruzen Sarutobi, so it's clear what kind of treatment Naruto, as a jinchuriki, would have suffered when he was a child.

On the side, Tsunade was about to speak and answer her grandfather's doubts.

Naruto waved his hand to stop her, then raised his hand to reflect a curtain of water, showing his childhood experiences.

Everyone, including Hashirama, saw Naruto's life as a child.

As a hero, Naruto did not enjoy the treatment he deserved.

What he faced was the ubiquitous malice and isolation from the people in the village. Everyone was yelling at Naruto, and even his basic life was in question.

An adult would not be able to survive in such an environment. A more fragile person might commit suicide, let alone a child like Naruto.

God knows how he survived the dark years of his childhood.

Having such an experience, Naruto's move towards Konoha was completely reasonable. Even if Hashirama disagreed, he could not deny his choice.

Because it was the village that was sorry to Naruto first.

Tobirama was also moved.

He sighed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these disciples of his had imitated his attitude to deal with things to a close, but their mind and methods were inferior by an unknown number of levels.

If it were him, he would never force Naruto to the opposite side.

Mito looked at Naruto with some pity in his eyes.

As the first generation Jinchuuriki, as the wife of the first generation Hokage, the second Jinchuuriki Kushina was taken care of by her at first, and later she also had the full support of Minato, her boyfriend.

In addition to his strong personality, he has never suffered any loss because of this. Even if there are some rumors among the people in the village, it is not a big deal.

She never expected that Naruto, the third generation Jinchuuriki, would be so miserable, but because of this, she endured pressure that he should not have to bear at his age.

On the side, Minato and Kushina watched all this, and couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes.

Even though they had already known about Naruto's childhood experience, watching it again now still made their parents' hearts ache, especially Minato who couldn't help but regret it.

If he had chosen to stay with Naruto, he wouldn't have had to experience such a dark childhood.

Tsunade, who was standing next to Naruto, sighed and said nothing. She reached out and patted Naruto's shoulder to express comfort. Although it was the first time for her to see Naruto's childhood experience in such detail.

But she knew that Naruto was not a fragile person.

Otherwise, he would not be standing on the ruins of Konoha at this moment.

Facing the complicated expressions of everyone, Naruto's expression did not change at all. He spoke in a calm tone: "People are so ignorant in the world, so there will be isolation, prejudice, and war."

"You, the First Generation, founded Konoha and brought peace to the people in the village, but you failed to see that there are more people in this world who are in pain and turmoil."

"The peace you pursued was narrow and fragile. It was all pinned on yourself, so the peace you established collapsed after your death, and the world is still in turmoil until now."

As Naruto spoke, a new picture began to appear on the water curtain.

Then, Hashirama saw the changes in the ninja world in the decades after his death.

At this moment, Hashirama was silent.

The peace he sought did not materialize.

After Hashirama's death, war returned to the world.

The First Ninja War, the Second Ninja War, the Third Ninja War...

Hashirama dreamed that everyone in the village could live happily, but during the Ninja World War, even those children who were only a few years old were forced to graduate from the ninja school early and join the battlefield.

In fact, because of the existence of ninja villages, the intensity of the war was greater than during the Warring States Period, and more people died than before.

In the village that Hashirama maintained, even in peaceful times, the children were not as happy as he imagined.

Naruto is just a microcosm of this environment.

Even if the lives of many children are not as painful as Naruto's, they are not much better.

"You ask me why I want to destroy Konoha?"

"I said that Konoha at this moment has become an obstacle to peace."

"I want to unify the ninja world and create a unified human empire, so as to eliminate war and completely free people from the pain of war, so as to achieve true peace."

"And the old ninja village and daimyo nobles represented by Konoha will definitely not be willing to give up the rights they have obtained."

Following Naruto's words, the picture displayed on the water curtain changed again.

This time, what appeared in front of everyone were war scenes from various front lines.
