Within the sealed space.

The bright sunshine is shining, and the boundless sea surface is vast and slightly rippled.

The waves lapped on the shore, and the sound echoed in my ears, like a gentle whisper.

In this environment, the human mind faces the infinite distance.

"Naruto."

The refreshing sea breeze gently ruffled Menma's hair and robe, and his voice was as gentle as the sea breeze: "Actually, you understand the meaning of this sentence, right?"

Little Naruto nodded first, hesitated for a moment but then shook his head, with a very conflicted expression on his face.

Menma smiled and touched Naruto's head: "You understand, you are just troubled by whether this sentence is correct or wrong."

Killing one person to save the world is not killing one person to benefit the world; killing oneself to save the world is killing oneself to benefit the world.

This sentence is taken from "Mozi·Daqi".

Meaning: If sacrificing one person can bring the world to our ideal state, it does not mean that it is right for us to sacrifice him.

Only when it requires sacrificing ourselves to improve the world is this a reason to encourage self-sacrifice.

Sacrifice yourself for righteousness, and sacrifice your own body, not others.

That is to say...

"Even if killing an innocent person can save the world, we do not have the power to decide whether that innocent person lives or dies."

However, innocent people...

Where do the innocent people come from in this world?

Except for civilians, no ninja has blood on his hands.

The boundary between justice and evil is too vague if judged by human moral standards.

But this argument obviously cannot convince the still naive little Naruto.

"Brother Menma, I don't understand..."

Seeing Naruto's stubborn expression, Menma sighed secretly and said helplessly: "Since you are so curious, Naruto, I will give you a train problem."

"Tram? Is it the kind of vehicle mentioned in the book that is similar to a horse-drawn carriage and can only run on a fixed track?"

Menma nodded perfunctorily, took out a pen, leaned down and started writing on the blank paper.

Five minutes later, Menma put away the pen and handed the drawing to little Naruto.

"Suppose five people are tied up on one tram track, one person is tied up on another alternate track, and at the same time, an out-of-control tram is approaching at high speed."

"And there happens to be a joystick next to you. You can push the joystick to make the tram drive onto the backup track, killing that one person and saving five others."

"You can also do nothing and let the tram run over those five people and save one person on the other track."

When little Naruto heard this, his brows gradually furrowed, the expression on his face became more distorted, and the obscure chakra fluctuations on his body seemed to become more obvious.

Even Kyuubi on the side turned his gaze over, a pair of fox eyes full of confusion and solemnity.

"What kind of chakra is that and why does it feel so awkward?"

As a tailed beast with the ability to sense good and evil, he has been used to the cruelty and evil of humans.

At the same time, he also deeply hates the badness and greed of human beings.

But this kind of "extremely good" chakra fluctuation made him feel hypocritical and disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

But Menma didn't seem to notice at all.

"So……"

He stared hard into little Naruto's blue eyes and asked, "What is your choice?"

"I...I don't know."

Little Naruto's expression was extremely distorted, and his temperament was extremely fragmented.

As dazzling and gentle as the sun, as rational and chilling as judgment.

"I want to push the joystick..."

Naruto's rationality told him that in order to create the greatest benefit, he should pull the lever, sacrifice one person, and save five people.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the chakra fluctuations in his body magnified again, reaching a level that was visible to the naked eye.

The emotional voice told him again that once he pushed down the joystick, he would kill an innocent person who would not have died.

Little Naruto clenched his teeth, but his expression gradually became peaceful: "No, I can't do this! I have no power to decide his life or death!"

Kyuubi on the side had straightened up, staring at Naruto with his vertical pupils, and seemed to see another person through Naruto's body.

"Menma! Naruto brat..."

"Shhh."

Menma smiled and raised his index finger to his lips.

Although there was a smile on his face, the smile was full of chills.

He said coldly: "Then you chose to do nothing, let nature take its course, ignore the lives of the other five people, and watch those five people die?"

Seeking death without saving...

Naruto's soothing expression suddenly became depressed again, and the chakra fluctuations in his body began to become disordered.

This obviously conflicts with his "emotional" side.

"I...I don't know!!"

It was like there were many completely different thoughts fighting in Naruto's head, making him unsure of his choice.

But Menma stood aside, looking at him coldly with a face of pain and struggle.

"Asura Chakra, can this problem be solved with your love and bond?"

There is no doubt that the source of Naruto's current struggle is the influence of Asura's chakra.

As the "purely good" side, in this situation, you are required to do something.

But it is just a ball of chakra without intelligence, only with super strong obsession, and it is impossible to find a perfect answer between these two choices.

No matter which one is chosen, it is a betrayal of his so-called "love and bond".

If there is no interference from Ashura's chakra, Menma believes that Naruto can easily find the correct answer, instead of falling into this state of "obsession".

"Menma, what's the matter with the chakra on Naruto's body?"

The big head of the Nine-Tails came over, frowning, and looked at Naruto with doubts in his eyes.

But deep in his eyes, there was still a bit of heartache.

After all, it was a little kid who grew up under his watch. Although it didn't say it, it still cared about Naruto in its heart.

"Do you know Ashura?"

Menma said calmly without turning his head: "That is Ashura's chakra, and Naruto is Ashura's reincarnation."

"Asura's chakra, Naruto is his reincarnation? How is it possible?"

The Nine-tailed Fox's eyes widened, and his face was full of human disbelief.

Obviously, it was not completely unfamiliar with Ashura.

Ashura, that is the second son of the old man Liudao, the second leader of the Shinobi Sect.

Asura's talent was very low since he was a child. He could not do anything well and was clumsy.

But he was very friendly, and everyone in the Shinobi Sect had a high degree of favorability towards him.

When the Six-path Sage extracted the tailed beast, he was in a dying state. Before his death, he chose Asura to inherit the leadership of the Shinobi Sect.

The nine tailed beasts, including the Nine-tailed, also had a good relationship with Asura.

Later, the eldest son Indra turned against Asura and wanted to regain his position.

When the two fought, Asura borrowed a lot of tailed beast chakra from the Nine-Tailed Fox, and used a three-headed, six-armed fox form similar to a complete tailed beast.

However, it saw Asura's death with its own eyes...

The Nine-Tailed Fox said in a deep voice: "I have never heard of reincarnation. Humans are dead when they die. The soul will disappear completely, and the chakra will also dissipate. Otherwise, how could the old man Six Paths..."

The Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to have thought of something, and the words in his mouth suddenly stopped, and the originally narrow vertical pupils also shrank instantly.

"Kuroma."

Menma's eyes were deep, and he said meaningfully: "The sky is actually colorless. It didn't deceive you. It was your own eyes that deceived you."
