Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

"Teacher, are you back?"

Nagato, who was guarding Yahiko and Konan, sensed the chakra of the rope tree and looked up at the door with a surprised look on his face.

Naoki pushed open the door and nodded to Nagato and Kyuubi.

"Why are you back so late? Did you deal with that old boy named Onoki?"

Kyuubi jumped onto Noshu's shoulder and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Naoki rubbed Kyuubi twice out of habit, smiled and shook his head.

"No!"

"I let him go!"

Kyuubi glanced at the rope tree in surprise.

"When did you become so soft-hearted? Just kill that guy. Is there anyone in Yanyin Village who can stop you?"

Naoki chuckled lightly and looked at Nagato, who also had a puzzled look on his face.

"Nagato, do you think the same way?"

Nagato nodded slightly.

"Um!"

"With your teacher's strength, even if you really kill the Third Tsuchikage, no one in the ninja world would dare to say anything, right?"

Naoki patted Nagato's head and sighed softly.

"Nagato, Kurama is not a human being, and it is understandable for him to say so."

"But you are different!"

"Brother Jiraiya once taught you, right?"

"The essence of a ninja is self-discipline."

"If every ninja with great power does not know how to restrain himself, he can cause killings and wars in the ninja world as he pleases."

"Then this ninja world is not far from destruction!"

Nagato nodded, his expression becoming serious.

Naoki looked at Nagato's expression, nodded with satisfaction, and continued:

"With the teacher's current strength, coupled with the strong men in Konoha, as far as the current ninja world is concerned, almost no one can match this power."

"But do you know why the teacher didn't use these powers to forcibly unify the ninja world?"

Nagato lowered his head and thought for a while, then said hesitantly:

"Teacher, are you trying to tell me that the ninja world that is unified by force is not truly peaceful?"

"Ha ha!"

Naoki let out a hearty laugh and patted Nagato hard on the shoulder.

"good!"

"If you want true peace in the ninja world, strong strength is indispensable."

"But while possessing great power, there is another point that cannot be ignored!"

"That's the human heart!"

Naoki stretched out his hand and tapped Nagato's chest, then pointed at Yahiko and Konan who were lying on the bed.

"Let me ask you, why did you take the risk of channeling the heretic demon, and even thought of resurrecting Yahiko with the art of reincarnation?"

"And why did you come up with the idea of ​​killing Lao Zi with the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals?"

Nagato touched his chest, looked back at Yahiko and Konan who were unconscious, and said seriously:

"Because they are my most important companions, and I will give anything to protect them!"

"And I want to kill Lao Zi because he is responsible for all this..."

Naoshu nodded and sighed softly.

"yes!"

"You are just a child with power. When your companions are hurt, you will have emotions such as anger, sadness, hatred, etc. towards the person who hurt your companions."

"What about other people in the ninja world? Are they like this too?"

"People have emotions, joy, anger, fear, hatred..."

"Affected by these emotions, even if they are forced to sign a peace agreement, people will not really be willing to accept the rule of a cruel and murderous strong man!"

"They will only suppress the hatred in their hearts, lie dormant, wait for the ruler to grow old, and then explode their hatred on the people around him or future generations."

"This way, hatred will never go away!"

"By that time, there will no longer be hope for peace in the ninja world!"

Nagato imagined the scene described by the teacher in his mind, and suddenly couldn't help but shudder.

"yes!"

"Hate is the biggest enemy that hinders the peace of the ninja world!"

"But if you want to unify the ninja world, you will inevitably start a war, and hatred will naturally arise."

"In this case, won't peace in the ninja world never be achieved?"

Faced with Nagato's doubts, Naoki nodded in agreement.

"good!"

"As long as there are still people in the ninja world, disputes and hatred will never disappear, and true peace will never be achieved!"

Nagato's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and he looked at the rope tree in confusion.

"Teacher! Since peace cannot be achieved, wouldn't our efforts be meaningless at all?"

Naoshu smiled and shook his head.

"It's not meaningless!"

"Although true peace cannot be achieved, we can use some means to achieve relative peace in the ninja world!"

"Peace in a relative sense?"

Nagato murmured.

"Um!"

"But this will take a long time!"

"Eliminate all those who try to provoke war, and then unite the remaining people who yearn for peace to establish a new force."

"To put it simply, it means reducing enemies to fewer and friends to many."

"In this way, large-scale wars will naturally not break out in the ninja world, and relative peace will be achieved!"

Although Nagato didn't fully understand the meaning of the teacher's words, he still felt greatly shocked.

"What kind of messy relative peace? As long as there is no war in the ninja world, isn't it peace?"

Kyuubi, who was lying on Naoshu's shoulder, felt dizzy and couldn't help but complain.

Naoki was stunned for a moment, glanced at Nagato who expressed his approval of Kyuubi, and a thought suddenly came to his mind:

"Is that the only thing people in the ninja world want for peace?"

Iwagakure Village.

"Lord Tsuchikage, are you back?"

"Did you fight against that strong man? What was the result?"

Kari, who was waiting in the dark with the demolition team, saw Onoki falling from the sky and hurriedly came to him. Looking at Onoki who looked a little tired, Kari asked eagerly.

"Um!"

"How is the situation in the village? There is no panic, right?"

Ohnoki waved his hand, but said nothing about what just happened.

Seeing that Lord Tsuchikage didn't seem to be interested in mentioning the battle situation, Kari Chi stopped asking and instead said:

"Don't worry, Tsuchikage-sama, everything is safe in the village!"

Onoki nodded and rubbed his slightly groggy head.

"That's good!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Notify the ninjas in the village to lift the combat readiness state!"

"Also, send someone to inform Han that he can come back."

Shou's face lit up with joy when he heard this.

"Did Lord Tsuchikage defeat that strong man? That's great!"

"I will inform you of the good news right now and celebrate it for Lord Tsuchikage!"

Onoki shook his head with a depressed expression and said in a dry voice:

"I lost!"

"I have no power to fight back in front of him!"

Kari's smile suddenly froze on his face.

"in addition……"

"Remove Lao Zi's name from the ninja roster. From today on, Lao Zi will be listed as a traitor and reported to the ninja world..."

"After Iwagakure, there will no longer be the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Zi..."

After Ohnoki finished speaking, he got up and flew back to the Tsuchikage office, locking himself in it alone.

Kari stood there and stared blankly at Onoki's leaving figure, feeling a wave of turmoil in his heart.

"What kind of enemy is it?"

"The Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki who actually forced the Tsuchikage-sama to abandon the village?"
